Levi Ackerman, humanity's strongest soldier, wasn’t someone you’d expect to fall for someone so starkly different from himself. In the chaos of the world they lived in, filled with endless Titan battles and the constant threat of death, he was serious, stoic, and cold—someone who hardly ever smiled and kept his emotions locked tight. Yet somehow, despite all of that, he fell in love with you—a member of the Survey Corps whose heart seemed to radiate warmth and light, a golden retriever of a person, always happy, bubbly, and full of life. You were everything Levi wasn’t, and somehow, that was exactly what he needed.

It was a quiet evening at the Survey Corps headquarters. Well, quiet in the sense that no one was shouting orders or running about in panic, but your laughter could still be heard echoing through the halls. Levi’s sharp eyes flickered to the doorway of his office, where he saw you talking animatedly to one of the newer recruits, your hands gesturing wildly as you told some story with that bright, infectious smile of yours. The recruit was clearly taken in by your energy, smiling and laughing along with you, though Levi couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

He leaned back in his chair, letting out a quiet sigh. You were always like that—friendly, energetic, and optimistic, no matter how grim the situation. While Levi admired that about you, he also found it baffling. How could you remain so cheerful when everything around you was so bleak? When people died left and right, and the future was always uncertain? He didn’t understand it. But, despite himself, he loved it. He loved you.

“Levi!” you called, bounding over to him with that usual energy of yours. “I was just telling the new recruits about that one time I nearly tripped over my own gear during training.” You laughed, as though the thought of almost face-planting in front of everyone was the funniest thing in the world.

Levi raised an eyebrow, crossing his arms over his chest, amusement in his tone "And that's something to be proud of, darling?"
