#Aot Levi ackerman

[leviismybby]

Levi gets grumpy when he is horny, especially if you happen to be in public and he can't do anything about it.

You look at him as he sits next to you, his arms crossed over his chest, a frown on his face. His foot taps on the ground and he is galring into the distance. "When the fuck is this event over?" Erwin had dragged you and Levi to some sort of fancy event and Levi loved the dress you were wearing, he wanted it off of you but the hall was full of people, he was hard and painfully so.

"A few more hours I recon." You know what's up with him, he is never good at hiding it around you. You decide to tease him a little by putting your hand on his thigh, Levi groans, shifting in his seat. He leans in to whisper to you, his voice rough. "Stop that shit now before I fuck you on this desk." But he doesn't pull away or bothers to remove your hand from his leg. Instead he sneakily puts his hand under your dress and squeezes your thigh in return. "This desk? That's not practical, there is a bathroom here tho." That was not an option, he hated public bathrooms and you knew it but you really wanted to se just how railed up he was. After a few seconds, Levi squeezes your leg again. "Bathroom it is."

Eren: "anyone up for the hot tub?"

Armin: "yeah sure."

Mikasa: "yes me."

Jean: "no."

Eren looked over.

Eren: "what? Why not jean?"

Jean sat down and looked out to the hot tub

Jean: "I'll get pregnant in that water"

Everyone froze and you and Levi almost choked on your food.

Eren: "uh...the hell jean? What are you talking about"

Jean: "well I'd rather not be in the same water where Levi railed y/n last night."

Levi: chokes on his water.

— a lesson in dancing ˚⁎⁺ levi ackerman x gn!reader

Levi doesn't think you should be with an old man like him. You show him otherwise. Or: in a post-war life, Levi learns to dance again.

content — Post-war, Hurt/Comfort, Fluff, Some internalized ableism from Levi but Reader helps him get through it, Reader is younger than Levi, Slow dancing, Basically a whole lot of comforting Levi in this one (wc: 2.3k). For reference - I headcanon that Levi uses a wheelchair most of the time, but that at home, he'll opt for a cane.

Crossposted on AO3.

“You should find someone younger to be with.”

At first, you aren’t sure if you heard Levi correctly. It’s still early; the sunrise barely reaches the town's tiled roofs. Sparrows nibble around you, scavenging for breakfast. Everything is at a complete standstill.

Then you glance up from this morning’s newspaper. Levi is staring at the youth gathered around the city square.  

“What did you say?” you ask.

Levi’s attention settles onto you, a half-lidded stare that’s no less charged than in his prime as the Captain.

“You’re still young," he mutters. "You’re still whole."

Well, if he didn't have your attention before, he certainly has it now.

You place your reading onto the café table, right next to the cup of coffee the waiter just brought. Your fingers linger on the edges of the newspaper, bending the corners with your thumb.

“Levi, I don’t want to be with someone else," you say, slow like you were carefully weighing each syllable with care. "I want to be with you.”

"You say that, but I can’t give you that.”

You frown, following his changing line of sight, back to the youth. In the distance, couples dance, following music coming from an accordion. They step and twirl, a resounding cheer (“ha!”) echoing with every count of twelve.

It brings you straight back to Paradis, to life within the Walls, to evenings spent in dingy taverns. Hange and Miche used to love dancing; they loved to drag you along. You wonder if Levi is thinking about those nights too.

"Are you talking about us dancing?”

The knot in Levi's throat bobs. He swallows it down with an almost bitter expression. “That, and more. Just look at me.”

“I’m looking, Levi.”

If only he knew—you’ve been looking all along.

All these years of fighting side by side, of fighting against titans and humans, of trying to bring peace to the world.

Just to arrive at a time and place where you could look at him.

And the sight grounds you.

Levi's eyes—one milky white and shuttered, the other a deep gray that reminds you of muted skies. His hair, silky black, embellished from the passage of time with strands of silver (like starlight, you think). A pearl-colored scar that twists below his lash line, running across the left side of his face, currently glowing from the dewy morning sun.

Everything about Levi has always been beautiful.

Despite that, you watch Levi retreats in his shell. His expression hardens and his knuckles tighten. It's the same old reaction you've grown accustomed to seeing. Levi did it Then, in Paradis, and he's doing it Now, in this new life.

But you? You rip through it, cut the distance apart. The feet of your chair rattles against the cobblestone of the street as you draw near. By the time you're settled at his side, you’re close enough to count the freckles splattered on the tip of nose.

“Levi, listen to me. You’re enough just the way you are. We can go through life as we please. Isn’t that enough?”

Levi remains silent, setting his posture like iron.

You tug at the hems of his shirt, twirling the fabric around your index. “Hey, c'mon now. Have I ever told you how handsome you are in the early morning?”

“Tch, don’t patronize me. You must want more than to be stuck with an old man like me.”

“What if I like my old man?” 

“You should be with someone younger.“

“Who says?”

“I’m saying.”

Levi’s deadpan expression doesn’t falter under your even gaze, but his lower lip opens up slightly, as if he were trying to even out his breathing. A blue vein tenses down his neck. You have the urge to smooth it with the back of your hands.

But you focus on his words instead.

“Levi, where’s all of this coming from?” 

“Does it matter?”

“Yes, of course, it matters. If it's making you have these thoughts, it matters.”

Levi's eyes narrow. You sigh. 

“Fine, you stubborn man. You wanna know what I see?” you say under your breath.

There’s something vulnerable tied to Levi’s gaze. You hold onto it, sliding your fingers through his hair to brush care into his scalp. Your thumbs linger over the crow’s feet permeating the corner of his eyes. A constellation of wrinkles and spots dust Levi's skin, an aftermath of time and sun exposure. You run a delicate digit over all of it, ending along his scarred lash line.

Levi swallows loudly.

“When I look at you, Levi, I see the pain of someone who was asked to grow up much too fast. I see the face of a man who had to shoulder the weight of survival all by himself. I see the life of a soldier who has fought for peace so that all of them,” your head bobs in the youth’s direction, “now get to enjoy a quiet Saturday morning where they can dance without a care in the world.”

Levi glances over your shoulders, fixing a point like it was the most interesting thing in the world.

You bring your hands along the sides of his jaw, directing his attention back to you. “Levi, you’re everything I want. We fought for a decade to be here. Why can’t you recognize that?”

He attempts to shake his head. “You deserve more.”

“That's for me to decide."

"I disagree."

"You always trusted my judgment as a soldier, so please extend me that same courtesy in this life here. Trust me to know what I want.”

“S’not the same.”

“It is. I dedicated my heart to the Scouts back then, didn’t I? And now I’m dedicating it to you.”

Levi’s ears turn pink, his lips tightening into a pout that cannot be described as anything else but coy. “Tch, don't say shit like this in public.” He attempts to lean away from your touch, but you teasingly play with strands of his hair, coxing him to utter stillness.

You lift a brow.

Levi stays quiet. Your knees bump with his, and you remain close while you watch him think your words over. Somehow, though, you can tell he’s grateful to have you here with him. You’re the one still by his side after all these years of death and pain and misery.

The one who stayed.

And Levi conveys his gratitude by reaching to you at last, slow like he were afraid to be stung. He loops his fingers around your own, his thumb gliding against the pulse point on your wrist. Once he has his hold on you, he doesn't let go, slowly stroking your skin with his thumbs.

You exhale in solace.

“So, what's the verdict?" you murmur. "Should I continue praising you?” 

He releases your hands. “Please don’t.” 

You chuckle, moving to grab the newspaper once more. Today’s headline talks of peace negotiations, negotiations that are to be handled by Commander Armin Arlert.

“Listen, I meant what I said, Captain," you tell Levi as you smooth over the article, ready to pour your attention onto it. "Like it or not, you’re stuck with me now.” 

Levi clears his throat as he takes a sip of tea. “Careful, soldier, that almost sounded like a marriage proposal.”

This time, it’s your turn to get flustered. You hide behind your wall of reading and when you peer over the newspaper, you swear there’s a ghost of a smirk tugging at Levi’s lips.

The evening is setting. Outside, waves crash against the cliffs while seagulls croak in swarms. You don’t pay attention to the noise; you’re inside the little cottage you and Levi share, too busy tweaking the machine Onkyankopon gifted you. It's a vinyl player—a machine which lets you play music records. Admittedly, you aren’t well-versed with these modern inventions, but this one you’re excited to use.

The record you’ve placed into the vinyl player comes from Onkyankopon’s home town. It promises a soothing journey filled with emotional highs—just what you need. With a grin plastered on your face, you press the play button. The tonearm hits the record and a lovely crack sounds across the living room. You lower the volume, and turn around.

“Levi, you coming?”

You hear a grunt in response, echoing across the narrow corridor of the house. “There’s no fire under my ass, is there?”

“Just a very excited me is all.”

Several moments later, Levi walks in, cane in hand. He’s fresh out of the shower. His hair is still wet, bangs clinging to the sides of his forehead, and his cheeks still have that rosy hue that comes from him washing it thoroughly. He’s wearing a freshly ironed shirt, and what Marleyans call jeans (which, incidentally, make his ass look great). 

Your stomach flutters.

Levi raises a brow. “What did you want to show me?”

“Oh.” You blink, remembering your plan. “Right. Please, c'mon here.”

He does, walking towards you, something cautiously guarded on his face.

You roll your eyes and shoot him a playful smile. “It’s not a trap, I promise.” Your fingers move to the collar of his gray shirt, feeling the rough fabric of cotton between your fingertips. The color matches his gaze, it brings out the smoothness of his pale skin.

He really is pretty.

You tell him as such.

He scoffs, a lovely pink hue dusting the tips of his ears. “Don’t say shit like that.”

You shrug. “We’re not in public anymore, are we?”

“Spare me.”

“But I like to compliment you."

"That's not my problem."

"Fine, old man. Then I suppose I should show you.”

His eyes narrow, not unkindly or in an annoyed manner, but with the regard of someone who dislikes surprises, who knows you’re up to something.

You detach yourself from him for a moment, striding over to reach for the volume button and turning it up. As soon as the slow violin and piano tug through the air, you turn towards him with a grin.

“Let’s dance,” you announce.

To Levi’s credit, he doesn’t appear all that surprised by this turn of events. Well, he’s known you over a decade, so you suppose he’s learned a thing or two about you.

You take his wooden cane out of his hands, carefully placing it against the wall. For a moment, the two of you just stare at each other from across the small room, admiring one and another. Moonlight trickles into the room, gracing Levi with its touch. His gray stare is aglow, his hair like silver. Like starlight, indeed.

Taking a slow step in his direction, you slide into his arms, and he welcomes you like you were made to belong there all along. You take his invitation with a smile, offering him support for his leg while you bask in the comfort of his embrace. Levi places his left hand over your shoulder, the other finding a home along your ribs, fingers slotting along every bone. Safety. His touch sparks warmth across your body, and you bring your hands to the back of his neck, delicately smoothing his undercut.

“The music is starting,” you murmur into the shell of his ear. Tingles spread through your veins.

“Yeah, it is.”

The music isn’t anything like the one you heard on the square today. This track is slow and intimate, and so, your dancing adapts to it. At first, you take the lead, only taking occasional small steps back, hips swaying with the soft melody. Levi follow closely, so close that you listen to his heartbeat quicken beneath your touch.

Half a minute later, Levi surprises you by carefully taking one of your hands between his own, dragging his thumb over your knuckles. He guides you back into a slow spin, and you feel the air expand in your lungs as you take several steps away from him, watching your two shadows ripple over the silver spotlight. When he tugs you back and your vision spins, you think how perfectly your bodies align together.

“Levi, why are you so good at this?” you chastise playfully.

“Erwin used to make me attend these fancy balls in the Interior,” he says in your ear, the tenor of his voice rumbling against your skin. “I learned there.” 

“Huh, that’s true. I remember the tuxedos you and Erwin wore now that you mention it." You chuckle. "You both looked devilishly handsome.”

“We looked like two pretentious snobs, you mean.”

"You say that, but I think Erwin took you along for a reason. We always did get the funding for every expedition.”

“Yeah.” There’s a note of fondness for Erwin and past memories, things you aren't exactly privy to, but that you're glad he gets to cherish all the same. 

You come to rest a cheek close to his neck, submerging yourself with the warmth of his skin. “I guess this little dance doesn’t measure up to the lavish balls you’ve attended, right?”

His hand tightens around your own. “No, this is better.”

You smile at his words.

It isn’t until a moment later that you realize the music has stopped, that you’re both still slow dancing to silence. Outside, the sound of waves remains.

Slowly, you untangle yourself from Levi, looking at him like he were the lighthouse guiding you back to shore. Levi’s attention is already fixed on you, his face filled with quiet fondness. There's starlight in his gaze.

“You see," you say. "We can dance, you and I.”

Levi raises a hand towards you, tucking a loose strand of hair behind your ear. “If we can teach your clumsy ass some rhythm, sure.”

“Hey, don’t be mean.”

Levi snorts, and before you can say anything else, he surprises you by leaning over to press a kiss over your forehead. 

And under the moonlight, you watch him at peace, and all feels right.

nights with him || levi || oneshot

fluff

aot masterlist

late at night, long after the sun has set was always your favorite time of day. after all the paperwork, after a long, tiring day of expeditions and strategic talk, you loved to just unwind with your boyfriend. of course being humanity’s strongest comes with a lot of responsibilities. he’s away longer, has more paperwork, and as a result you don’t get to see him as much as you’d like. but at the end of the day after all the work, he always comes home to you. just like now.

you wrap your arms around him as the front door closes; the cold air from outside still whirling around the entryway. he wraps an arm around your waist while the other hangs his cloak on the hook. he smiles at you and you’re grateful he’s home safe.

after eating and showering, he joins you in bed. both sets of hands go to their designated spots. his grab around your waist and pull you close, yours cup his face; thumb stroking his cheek. this is your favorite part of your nights. watching and holding him close; holding him like he’d never go anywhere again. you were so proud and thankful for this man and by looking into his eyes you could tell he thought the same about you.

smiling, you ask him to tell you about his day and he does. you start to doze to his sweet voice, and cuddle up closer to his chest,

“your voice is making me fall asleep” you sigh.

“are you saying i’m boring you, brat?”

you chuckle, “no i’m saying i feel safe with you”

he shifts and pulls you on top of his chest, reaching an arm under your shirt and scratching your back. he doesn’t respond, but he places kisses on top of your head and tightly hugs you, knowing he doesn’t want to let you go.

Levi Ackerman x autistic reader who avoids eyecontact

Content & possible warnings: soft Levi, gender neutral autistic reader, fluff, swear words (not at anyone)

Plot: you begin to feel more comfortable with Levi and don't force yourself to make eyecontact with him anymore, but he notices it.

Author's note: silly little short writing, I'm trying out different things with my posts. (btw, we will have Valentine's Levi soon)

"Why do you do that?" Levi asked from you in a middle of a conversation, his eyebrows furrowing in slight confusion.

Your gaze returned back to him, "Do what?"

"You barely look at me. Is the wall so interesting to you?" even though his question sounded rude, his tone remained soft.

You thought of what to answer. 'How am I supposed to say that eyecontact is difficult for me? Why did I try to unmask in front of him in the first place?...'

"Hey." Levi's voice snapped you out of your thoughts.

"Eyecontact is difficult for me. I have no problem with you or anything", you explained with slightly quieter tone than usual.

"Oh."

'Oh?' You had fucked up, hadn't you?

"I wasn't aware", Levi's gaze remained steady on you. "You don't have to look at me, but if you don't mind, I'd like to keep looking at you."

'Why?'

"Why?" you asked out loud before thinking.

Levi stayed quiet for a moment, pondering his words. "You have fascinating eyes", he finally admitted.

"Um, thank you", you mumbled with slight blush on your face.

As you glanced at him again, you could see the subtle smile on his face. Perhaps you could be yourself in front of him.

If Levi had a son, that kid would be 6'4 when he grows up and the worst part is Levi doesn't even know how that happened. His first theory is that he picked up the tall gene from Kenny or someone from your side. His second theory is that his son is the height he would be if he didn't grow up malnourished as a child in the underground. Its funny when they stand side by side too, same face, same stance but the height difference makes people think that Levi is the son haha.

❥ while training; whether it be with maneuver gear or hand-to-hand combat, he secretly pushes you harder than the rest. not to annoy or tire you, but because he knows there might be a day when he’s not there to protect you, and he wants you to be able to take care of things yourself

❥ once you joined his squad, he always made sure you got your fill of food before himself. he’d rather you have plenty to eat so you could stay healthy and strong; he never wanted you to worry about food or go hungry. you’d always suggest he goes first, but he’d always deny your request

❥ at night when he couldn’t sleep, sometimes he’d walk down the hallway and stand outside your bedroom door. it brought him some peace knowing you were sleeping; safe from any harm and the thought would bring a small smile to his face

❥ when the scouts go on expeditions outside the walls, he’s secretly a worried mess. he’s constantly looking over his shoulder at you, checking to make sure you’re okay. when the titans break your formation and you get separated, even through the fight you’re the only thing on his mind. he knows you can handle yourself but it doesn’t keep him from worrying. and when he hurt his foot and couldn’t join you on an expedition?!? oh he was filled with worry; with regret. i should’ve gone anyways. ignore the pain and fight through it. he’d pray you, (and everyone else) makes it back safely.

before being yours [levi ackerman x reader]

summary -> before being yours, levi ackerman was a soldier.

warnings -> profanity (like once), they fuck but not explicitly, not proofread

pairings -> levi ackerman x reader

wc -> 1k

In another life, Levi didn’t have to see your saddened eyes everytime he stood beside the Survey Corps.

He wouldn’t have to live within these goddamn walls or watch as his comrades all fell like flies against the titans. In another timeline, he’d come home to you after working at the tea shop, kiss you sweetly on the lips and maybe the two of you would even have a child or two. A life like that seemed so pleasant. It seemed so peaceful. He’d be able to call himself your lover in that universe.

But this was the world the two of you lived in. There was no point in being a constant dreamer like that. Being in the Survey Corps meant you could lose your life in a split second, after all. No matter how strong Levi was, you were still fucking terrified for his life. You cared so much. That was one of the many things he absolutely adored about you.

Fate decided to intertwine your life together like two red ribbons on one Summer’s day. He often wondered what would have happened if he didn’t walk into that cafe and saw you. After all, you had become such a constant in his life - it was strange to imagine you not being there. He saw your soft smile and twinkling eyes and the way you offered to pay for someone’s meal without any hesitation. When he saw it, he couldn’t help but wonder if you would look at him with the same soft smile and twinkling eyes.

Levi found it strange.

Now the two of you were walking beside each other in the street, a comfortable silence between you both. He found his gaze on your hand. He wondered what it would be like to hold them against his own. You would notice his lingering eyes and let out a soft giggle of amusement, causing his eyebrows to furrow slightly. Then, without any hesitation, you would grab onto his hand and your small giggles would turn into an amused smile as his face grew feverishly red. Suddenly the sun didn’t feel that warm anymore against the heat of his cheeks. It was a heat he had decidedly grown to like, however.

There was another thing that he had immediately begun liking. To say he liked it was an understatement, actually. Across the few months he had known you, he had loved the taste of your lips against his. Levi was unsure of who initiated it first, but suddenly the two of you found yourselves buried beneath the covers. You overwhelmed his senses in the most pleasant way, and he was sure he was content to die there with your bare skin against his - the only thing between you being the warm sheets. Winter had come, after all, and he wanted nothing more than to keep you warm.

Levi was unsure of who initiated it first. When he looked back on it, it all seemed so blurry. He didn’t really care though. How could he? When he had you panting out his name so sweetly, there was nothing else that he cared about. His senses seemed to drown in you - the way you overwhelmed him was so pleasant. Levi couldn’t get enough. Levi was sure he was content to die here with your bare skin pressed against his, nothing but sheets separating the two of you. You were his lover. He would be the one to keep you warm during the upcoming winters. He would be the one to spin you around the living room to an imaginary tune to cheer you up. In the middle of the street, he would be the one to wait for you when you would tie your shoelaces or when you would stop and look at some trinkets being sold or when you smell something tasty in the air.

These thoughts made his cheeks heat up once again and in all the time he had known you, he wasn’t sure he had ever felt so strongly towards anyone. When he laid there beside you on the bed, the memory of your passionate nights eternally scorched into his mind, he almost felt like your lover too. Almost.

Before being yours, he was humanity’s. He had dedicated the entirety of his soul to the Survey Corps, and before meeting you, it was an oath he was not intending on taking back. Truth be told, however, he was sure he would have taken it all back without any hesitation as soon as his gaze landed on the way you shuffled beneath the sheets without him. Each morning, Levi stood beside the bed for a moment as the first lights of morning began pouring into the room, watching as you sleepily curled up into a ball. He was all dressed, feeling nothing but dread as he knew what awaited his future. An uncomfortable desk with piles of paperwork. Levi’s back already hurt at the thought. But more importantly, you wouldn’t be there.

Levi really hated leaving you each quiet morning. Before being yours, he was a soldier, after all. His mind, body, and soul was chained to the Survey Corps. He had no regrets, of course, but he couldn’t help but imagine what your lives could have been like, if he had been yours first. But when he listened to the way you spoke with such starry eyes about seeing the world beyond the walls, he knew that this was for the better.

If you wanted to see what freedom was truly like, he would have gladly shown it to you at the cost of his own.

Your dreams were so peacefully quiet when you spoke to him of them. A domestic bliss that Levi could only dream of having. Perhaps one day, he could have that with you. There was nobody else he would have liked that with. But it was a stupid desire. He was a soldier, determined to make your dreams a reality and willing to die out on the battlefield if it meant you could have that future. Even if he wasn’t in it. That fact only solidified whenever your gaze would land on him through the crowd of civilians watching the Survey Corps head out on another expedition.

He cherished each memory he had of you. Even if it had been a while since you last spoke. Levi had been the one to end everything, deciding that it was for the better. That’s what he told you. That’s what he told himself each night. That’s what he told himself even when he thought of the way you cried helplessly that night - his heart simply shattering because he had been the one to bring that pain upon you. Before being yours, he belonged to the Survey Corps. There was no room for being a lover or having some idealistic dream between the two of you and he was an idiot for even trying in the first place. But he didn’t regret you. How could he? He had just been a fool.

This was for the better.

And many years later, when he was much older and much more bruised, he didn’t regret a single thing. His love for you had never truly faded overtime. You were a fond little memory he liked to think about from time to time, a rare and small smile on his face as he thought of you. Long ago,

he would have been envious of the man kissing you so sweetly after returning from work. He would have been jealous of the way you looked at him. He would have done anything to be by your side in that domestic bliss. But you were happy. In another life, Levi could have called himself your lover before being a soldier. But he didn’t regret a single thing.
