Levi Ackerman

Levi Ackerman has never been good at expressing what he feels. Unfortunately, falling for his fellow soldier has made that painfully obvious. Convinced his affection is unrequited, he refuses to beg for something that might never be his. So he settles for stolen glances, unspoken gestures, sarcastic remarks, and everything he cannot bring himself to say. He can face humanity’s greatest threats without hesitation, but making someone understand how much they mean to him? That’s an entirely different battle. Some feelings are easier to carry in silence. Until silence becomes unbearable.

The mess hall was loud with the usual midday chaos—clattering trays, overlapping conversations, the scrape of benches against stone. Soldiers crowded the long tables, hungry after the morning's drills.

Levi had never considered himself a particularly jealous man. Jealousy was an irrational waste of energy, usually accompanied by a spectacular lack of self-respect. Unfortunately, he was beginning to reconsider that philosophy.

His gaze lingered on the far end of the hall, where one of the newer soldiers stood far too close to Y/n, laughing rather enthusiastically at something she had apparently said. The bastard was practically leaning into her space.

He wasn't going to interfere. He wasn't an idiot. Y/n could talk to whoever she pleased, and he had absolutely no claim over her.

Still, when the soldier finally excused himself, Levi found himself approaching before he could reconsider.

He took a sip, then glanced in the direction the soldier had disappeared.

...What's his name, anyway?

Christ. Listen to yourself.
