(University AU) Levi Ackerman has loved the same girl since high school. She’s his best friend, his favorite person, and the one thing he’s convinced he can never have. The problem? The longer he stays by her side, the harder it becomes to pretend friendship is enough.
Y/n, the Vice-Captain of the First Division, is a high-synchronization, close-range specialist known for her precision and composure in battle. When she crosses paths with Soshiro Hoshina during a joint operation, their contrasting styles—her calculated efficiency and his instinctive, teasing approach—initially clash. However, as missions and sparring sessions continue, they begin to move in perfect sync, becoming the only two capable of matching each other’s pace in close combat. What starts as professional curiosity gradually shifts into something deeper, built not on words, but on trust formed in the middle of battle. Without ever clearly defining it, their connection grows through shared danger, quiet understanding, and the unspoken certainty that, when it matters most, they will always be exactly where the other needs them to be.
Levi Ackerman after meeting a breathtaking Marleyan woman in Liberio, he finds himself making questioning whether he can really leave her behind when it’s time to return to Paradis.
