Levi let out a sigh of relief the moment your silhouette appeared through the shadows, tensed shoulders relaxing. He turned his head, all focus shifting instantly to you.

“You.” He exhaled, a hint of exasperation in his tone, indicating that the little time spent without your absence had not been very fun. “Where have you been?”

“Hi. Went to scout.” You answered, reaching the little campfire to stand beside Levi. All your friends sat circling it. Levi’s subtle, not very subtle eagerness at your arrival seemed to have triggered something, making the already guffawing crowd of people laugh even harder. Concluded with Levi’s sour face, it wasn’t very hard to guess what the subject of amusement must have been.

“Oh, are we bullying Levi again?” You beamed, nudging Levi’s leg with your foot, signaling him to give you space. “Scoot over. I want to join too.”

Levi shot a glare, but shifted to let you sit beside him. As another wave of laugher sparked through your friends, you plopped down on the grass, folding your legs. It was a chilly night, and everyone wanted to stay near the fire, therefore, the circle was so tightly formed around the fire, you could barely squeeze yourself between Levi and Nifa.

“Sit on my lap, why don’t you?” Levi grumbled, scowling and squirming a little at the close contact.

“What? It’s cold. And you’re warm.” You said as you sat down. “What are you so pissy for anyways?” You pressed yourself tighter, curling yourself up against him, uncaring of the poisonous gaze. You’ve learnt a long ago, half of Levi's words didn’t mean shit, that if he actually was uncomfortable, you wouldn’t even be here right now, he would’ve broken a bone or two. Levi’s personal space wasn’t something he let anyone come through, but you’ve been an exception for that for a long time.

And he was warm. A warmth that surprisingly only the cold, cold man was capable of.

And as always, the low protest died soon and he adjusted to let you lean against him.

“Hange.” He muttered, answering your previous question. “They’re trying to convince people to marry me.”

“Wonderful.” You grinned, “I volunteer.”

“I hate you.”

Cue for a very drunk Hange cracking up again, leading the others to join in. Even Erwin, ever regal and solemn, couldn’t seem to be able to hold the small smile from forming. With Hange’s contagious laughter and Levi’s scowl, it was impossible to.

“Oh why’d you let Hange drink again?” You laughed, watching them as Moblit struggled, trying to pry the bottle out of the section commander's grasp. “They're gonna be terrible to deal with tomorrow.”

“They insisted it was one sip.” Erwin said solemnly.

“Well, that sure seems like one sip.”

“But seriously though,” Nanaba piped in, shoulders still shaking with the waves of laughter. “Levi’s got all that spunk, but no bitches.”

“Stubborn shortie-” Hange's voice was cut of as they hiccupped

“Shut up. All of you. Please.” Levi sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. “

“Point stands. In your mid-thirties, Levi. How long are you going to wait?”

“Why,” He huffed. “Are you people so insistent on analyzing my personal life every damn time? Do you not have anything better to do?”

“Only well wishers.” She gave him a smug smile. “That’s what friends do, they care for each other.”

“No. You just want to give me shit.”

“Well, that too.” She shrugged.

“Iffff—if anything,” Hange stumbled in, rubbing their eyes. She glanced at you pointedly. “You could at least date her. That’d be nice.”

“So I keep telling him.” You feigned a disappointed sigh.

“Don’t fucking egg them on.” He hissed, face heating up at the suggestion. How could they even think it’d work out? He thinks, against the thoughts tugging. Ridiculous. They were ridiculous. You were just as ridiculous. So what does he do with this ridiculous fucking feelin–

“Oh but look,” Hange leaned forward, squinting to watch the two of you, their glasses reflecting off the fire and casting shadows on their face. “ Do mine eyes deceive me or is Ackerman over there blushing?”

“No.” The denial was quick. A little too quick.

“I confirm.” Nanaba smirked. Miche grunted.

“No.”

“Oh, Levi.” Erwin’s eyes glimmered amusement.

“I will hit you. Don’t even go there.”

The roar of laughter only grew louder.

And the night rolled on, the nonsense bickerings and banters continued. Friendly faces and friendly voices, joking and teasing and laughing without a care in the world. Bottles clinked, the firelight glinting on them. At one point, you and Hange started singing some stupid song you’ve heard in the fair, rocking back and forth with the music. And you weren’t certain, but you could swear there was a hint of melody even in the wind blowing by. And it was cold, but with Levi beside you, you were okay. But that was okay, it was okay. More than okay, really. The happiness was overwhelming.

.

“You know,” Hange called out suddenly. They had taken to fully sprawl out on the grass. They’d been quiet a while, and you had thought they must’ve passed out, but appears not.

Everyone turned to look at them.

“This is nice isn’t it?” They mumbled, blinking up to the sky. “I mean, sure, we might die tomorrow, but this is nice. I wouldn’t really mind dying.”

“You know, what would’ve been nice, Hange?” Nanaba said, watching Hange. And despite the words itself, she was smiling. “To not mention death.”

“I know but,” Hange sat up, grinning. “This is not too bad as a last night of your life right? I wouldn’t mind.”

And for a second, no one spoke. Perhaps, it was because all were drunk more or less but that hit harder in that moment. Unsaid words were spoken in silence, the wind carrying the oaths away. And even Levi’s eyes had softened.

Only Hange could say words like that with that face, you thought. You weren’t sad, not really. Because Hange was right. Being a scout meant learning to appreciate every breath you can take, and nights like this were as good as they’d come.

“Aww Hange.” You sighed, grinning back. “Cheesy much? You’re making Levi all squirmy.”

“No, I am not—” Levi’s protests were buried as the group jumped in yet again another session of Levi leg-pulling.

But despite it all, Levi thought.

Pissheads, all of them were. But nevertheless.

He watched you with the corner of his eyes, watching you as you laughed your head off to something Eld said, shoulders shaking, the firelight making your eyes glitter. And you were so close, so close, he could hardly breathe. And the urge to wrap an arm around you, to pull you closer. To feel you against him.Would that be so wrong of him? If he leaned close, would you pull away? But it’s okay, he thinks.

Hange was right.

It’s okay if he dies tomorrow. He wouldn’t really mind.

He didn’t really mind right now either.

He finds it strange that he didn’t really mind it. Any of it.

He didn’t mind Hange or Nanaba or any of them.

He didn’t mind your stupid little jokes, clearly made with the intention to piss him off. He didn’t really mind that you were so close. He didn’t mind that your head on his shoulder. He didn’t mind a lot of things that he thinks he would’ve minded if it was anyone else but you.

He doesn’t really know how it works. He doesn’t like thinking about the strange little feelings in his heart that tugged everytime you smiled, or the way his stomach tightened whenever you flirted with him so casually.

And maybe one day he’ll tell you. Maybe he won’t

Does it matter? Is it not enough to only have you alive and close?

He’s here now. With everyone and with you.

He’s home.

being best friends with hange zoë headcanons

OUR NON BINARY ROYALTY LETS GOOOO

in these headcanons, imma make the reader also a commander.

CW: minor spoiler up ahead! (from S1) and light language. possible trigger warning: quick mention of migraine.

gn! reader. happy reading :)

i love hange san sm pls look how cute they are 🥺🥺 ^^

they would greet you every morning with updates on their new experiments

if you’re a late riser, hange definitely is your alarm clock and wakes you up

“GOOD MORNING Y/N!!! GUESS WHAT I FOUND OUT ABOUT SAWNEY?…”

you and moblit have to comfort them after sawney and bean die </3

you three bond so well pls

levi thinks you two are the most annoying brats ever. you guys give him migraines worse than ones he gets after late nights without tea. (he still deeply cares for you two, but won't admit it.)

hange is extremely smart and innovative! they’d make you random things that help with whatever’s troubling you as a gift or just out of the blue. (did that make sense??)

ie. if you were cold at night they’d make you a heated blanket to heat you up.

since commanders do hella paperwork and stuffs late at night, they would visit you to make sure you’re pacing yourself and taking breaks.

they love stopping in when they’re taking a break themselves, and appreciate if you do too.

you guys train your squads together and you guys partner up a lot for personal practice too.

you guys definitely have bets/competitions like who can get to the other end of the field with their ODM gear quickest, and who can pin the other to the ground in a spar first, etc.

is very affectionate towards their friends! they love hugging you throughout the day. i also think they'd like to hold your face in their hands and squish your cheeks.

if they're done updating you on the rest of their titan research, the conversation won’t stop there.

hange will find something else to talk about. they never run out of conversation topics, which makes conversing and being around them easy. think of it as the "talks a lot; listens" dynamic.

they really love and appreciate that you listen to them every time esp since others don’t really want to listen to what they have to say.

of course when you aren't busy, you'll help hange out with research in the late hours of the morning.

you guys would do sleepovers too. they'd prepare so many sleepover games, have stories, and sneak in some snacks for the two of you.

helping them clean their room (you doing most of it) because you have to side with levi, it's really bad.

loves to make you smile and happy! especially if you're feeling down, they'll do ANYTHING to get you to laugh :)

likes to prank you a lot. however, if they aren't pranking you, you're helping them play pranks on other comrades.

gives BOMB advice. like if something is troubling you and you tell them about it, they'll be really helpful, offer advice, and support you in your decisions.

they care for you sm. if you're sick or hurt they're literally travelling at the speed of light to get you medicine, bandages, or anything to make you feel better.

all in all, hange is the bestest friend ever and is always there for you no matter what you need :)

@ohrintarou submitted: HIIIII CASSIEIEEIE i’ve been trying to think of an aot request and i’m thinking of being in a friend group with sasha connie and jean PDHF IT WOUDL BE SO CHAOTIC BUT KEEP DOING WHAT UR DOING ILYY AND TAKE CARE OF URSELF!!<3333

SHO SHO!! this is actually such a cute idea i’m living. ty for encouraging me to start writing on tumblr and being such a sweet friend ilysm <3

gn! reader (ofc) CW: language. again. lol.

being in a friend group with sasha braus, connie springer, and jean kirstein headcanons

PLS THIS GIF LITERALLY SUPPORTS HOW CHAOTIC THEY ARE LMAO I LOVE THEM <3

if you’re also chaotic like sasha and connie, you’d join in on their bullshit and levi would scold you guys

he’d scold jean too even if he didn’t do anything bc he’s also apart of the group 💀

levi: oi shut up brats why’re you so loud so late in the night

jean: yeah guys settle down you’ll get extra chores and i don’t wanna hear you guys complain

levi: tch you too jean

jean: ?!?!?

if you’re more lowkey, you help jean settle the other two down when it comes to training so they don’t get in trouble 💀💀

one of them prolly had a short, tiny, crush on you at one point.

staying up late at night talking about anything and everything together

also trying to muffle your guys’ laughs in the pillows to avoid getting caught past curfew.

sasha steals everyone’s food so you all collectively have to restrain her to get your food back

speaking of which ^ during that scene in the gif i used, you guys would be laughing so hard at the same time when trying to get the meat out her mouth.

you still save her a couple slices of meat for when she wakes up bc you guys feel a little guilty.

connie likes to talk to you when something is bothering him and vice versa. i feel like he’s a great comfort person.

jean like to help you train if you wanna train more or need tips but he’ll be so cocky.

I GET THE VIBES THAT YOU’D ALL PLATONICALLY CUDDLE SOMETIMES BC IT’S SO COMFORTING.

you guys will always have each other’s back no matter what.

one of you are in trouble during a mission? someone is there to assist and save the other. can’t sleep? someone will be there to talk until you both fall asleep.

someone is pissing one of you off? you’re all ready to beat someone’s ass. stuck doing extra chores? they’ll be there either to keep you company or help you out.

you guys are really comfortable too. atp, you’re family and can go to each other for anything.

to rant, a laugh, share a story that happened the other day, literally anything.

PRANK WARS ON EACH OTHER

omggg and then hysterically laughing if the pranked person falls for it badly.

(if you’re a nicosha shipper (niccolo x sasha)) you three are her and niccolo’s wingmen/woman pls. (my grammar is so bad in this post i’m sorry it’s so hard lmao.)

all of you like to poke fun at her crush but you’re all happy she found someone she really loves.

ALL OF YOU TRY TO HINT AT NICCOLO THAT SHE HAS A CRUSH ON HIM TOO

(here come the protective sibling speeches when they do get together)

taking care of each other if someone gets hurt/are in the infirmary.

after missions you always look for each other to make sure everyone else is safe and okay.

YOU GUYS TELL EACH OTHER THE MOST RANDOM SHIT NO MATTER HOW DUMB IT SOUNDS

when you have off days you guys like to go to town and walk around window shopping.

and treating yourselves to good food bc you guys deserve it.

PICKING UP EACH OTHERS SLANG/MANNERISMS BC YOU’RE AROUND EACH OTHER SM IT’S SO CUTE

fights don’t last long (unless it’s really serious). you guys probably make up by the end of the day or at breakfast next morning.

if you’re a short reader, you get mad at them for growing even taller. like damn you tall ass trees.

they will never let you suffer alone and same goes for you to them.

if something is bothering you or you’re upset, they will go through it with you and make sure you know you’re not alone.

lastly, no matter how upset you are with each other, or what time of the day it is, you guys will always let each other know how much you love and care of each other (no matter how cheesy it is) <3

SORRY THIS WAS LOWK VAGUE IM TRYNA PRODUCE STUFF AFTER NOT WRITING FOR LIKE A WHOLE WEEK

i hope you still enjoyed tho sho sho LOVE YOU SM <3

I'll follow. (Levi x reader)

"Holy sh-" A curse escaped you when the figure in the hallway caught your eye, jumping on your feet. You clutched your heart, bracing yourself against the wall trying to calm yourself as you looked at him.

"You scared the shit out of me."

Levi turned his head towards you. "You." He said.

"Levi." You gave a slight nod in acknowledgement.

"Nice to see you're alive."

"Nice to see you're walking around."

He cocked an eyebrow.

You sighed. That was too far.

"I'm sorry. It was a joke. A bad, insensitive joke, but it was a joke."

Levi nodded, shifting his weight on his crutch.

"It's been a month. I haven't even seen a glimpse of you till now."

"Eh." You shrugged, walking over to him to stand beside him on the balcony. His eyes followed your movements. He leaned against the wall, relieving the weight off his damaged leg and giving you space. You matched his stance, folding your hand on the railing.

"You do realize you can't stay inside your room forever?" He glanced at you with the corner of his eyes.

You squinted when the afternoon light hit your face. Unused to the brightness as you haven't seen the sun for a long time.

You spent your days in your dorm, curled up in a bed. You slept, woke up, sneaked off to the kitchen and bathroom when needed in odd hours, to avoid the people.

You haven't seen anything really. Or even heard anything. You don't even know about anything that's going on. You're too tired to. You don't even bother turning the lights on in your room.

It was strange, now. Being in your dorm. You tried your best to not think about it much but your dorm was so oddly empty, eerily silent. All your roommates were gone. Sasha and the other girl dead. Mikasa gone to where you have no idea.

Yet, there was a sort of peace in there. A sense of comfort. A shelter from the world outside. You were scared of the cruel reality that waited outside the door. So you made your own solution, you decided to not step out the door at all.

So It's the first time in a month, you caught a glimpse of life outside. It's the first time, you've seen him in a month.

And you didn't even dare admit it to yourself, but maybe...a part of you was avoiding him as well.

But you missed him.

The way he leaned over against the railing for support, how he winced at every slight movement, it sent a dull ache through your heart.

You sighed. "Try me." You said. "I saved the world, give me a break. Also, the doctor gave me bedrest."

"For a week only." He pointed out. "And you didn't save the world alone."

You groaned.

But you knew it was true.

That people wouldn't just let you stay in your room all day. That people weren't taking your isolation too well and there's only so much, your unspoken 'hero of the war' privilege can get you. Sleeping for 1 month straight was just too much.

But generally speaking, you saved the world. You should get to do whatever you want.

"You're gonna lecture me, captain?" You mumble. "I'm too tired to care, I'm afraid."

"Don't talk back. This is unhealthy for you."

"So what? That's my business. Let me rot away to death."

He glanced at you from the corner of his eyes and that look alone erased your attitude.

"Yeah, sorry." You muttered the apology quietly. Old habits die hard. You didn't give two fucks about the authority usually but one glare from Levi was still enough. And as much as you liked fucking around with him, that never changed.

"Horseface told me you've shut everyone out."

You frowned in annoyance. "What, is this a therapy session? Are we going to talk about our feelings and get all sappy?" You said sarcastically.

Again, Levi didn't say anything. Only shot a warning look towards you in response. Seems like he wasn't in much of a mood for your jokery.

And to be honest, you weren't either.

So you sighed.

".. I didn't." You answered quietly. "I'm just tired."

"All you do is sleep." He frowned.

"Yeah but like, I sleep, and then I get tired of sleeping, so I go to sleep again-"

"Why," He exhaled sharply. "Is it so hard for you to just converse like a proper adult without making fun of everything?"

"I don't like serious conversations." You huffed, folding your arms.

"So I've noticed." He sighed.

"Why'd you care anyways?" You muttered under your breath.

Levi pursed his lips.

"I don't." Was all he said.

Silence lasted a couple seconds.

There was something in the air, you could feel it. It was thick and it wrapped around your throat like vice, the pounding in your heart warned you of something to come.

Your eyes flicked to Levi and his blank face, wondering what was going through his head.

You followed his gaze, eyes catching in a field further away. Children played along it, you can just make out the outlines of them.

Happy kids, you thought. They don't have to stand awkwardly besides their captain as he's deep in thinking God knows what.

"Are you.." You asked after a pause. A pang went through your heart, the words stuttering. You hoped he wouldn't notice the slight crack in your voice. "Are you resigning..?" A calmer, more braced tone.

And you knew before he even answered. "Yes."

You nodded.

Your heart twisted itself into a painful lump of knot.

But you understood.

So why did it hurt so much?

You looked up at the sun. You hoped the sun would burn away the tears that was welling in your eyes, you hoped it would burn your soul along with it.

Is this how it ends? How you part ways?

"You're too old anyways." You finally said in a light-hearted voice. Like you weren't fucking breaking inside.

He snorted. "I can be an 89 year old grandfather and I'll still be able to take you down with one finger."

"Uh-huh."

You watched Levi as he fidgeted with his fingers, his other hand going over the bandaged knuckles. You winced at the sight of the missing digits.

"What are you going to do?" He suddenly asked.

"Me?" You were caught off guard. You hadn't expected the sudden steer of the conversation. But you considered, thinking.

I don't know, Levi. You tell me. You wanted to tell him.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do if you're not here.

But you only shrugged. "I was thinking of sleeping my life away. Make up for all the nights I couldn't."

He scrunched his face, clearly unimpressed with your choice of way to spend your life. He looked like he had a lot to say about it but then shook his head, probably realizing it's worthless arguing with you.

"You aren't coming back?" You asked then. More of a statement really.

"Is there a reason for me to?"

Me, you thought.

Say my name.

"I guess not." Maybe you will shrivel up and die.

He wouldn't even look at you.

And seconds passed, seconds turning to minutes.

Your heart beat, pounding with the seconds.

And then, Levi spoke.

"Hey kid?"

"Yeah?"

"Wanna get the hell out of here?"

You stared, eyes wide with confusion. But then his gray eyes locked with yours and you finally, finally realized.

Oh.

Oh.

Relief wrapped you around it's warm, warm embrace. And for the first time in a while, you felt like you could breathe properly.

You nodded. "...yeah."

And then you almost snorted because his face was so very flushed. And somehow you knew, it wasn't the sun.

"Was that a confession, Levi?" You asked after a while, almost tiredly, eyes falling shut.

"...would it be so wrong if it was?" His voice was quiet. So low you could barely hear it.

"No" You shook your head. "No, I suppose not."

He nodded, shoulders slumping. And you wondered if he felt the same wave of relief you felt.

You wondered if he waited all those years for you as well.

"I can't," Levi suddenly blurted out, his tone was hesitant, unsure. "I can't promise you anything, but I swear I'll try. For you. For us."

You swallowed, every word sinking into your skin, healing wounds you didn't even know you had. But you took it.

He'd try. For you, he said.

"I'll go."

Levi looked up.

"I'll go with you. Wherever the hell you want to."

".. you will?"

"I'm your second, aren't I?" You grinned at him, eyes sparkling. "I'll follow you straight to hell if you ask me to. Im stuck with you for life."

And you could've sworn Levi almost smiled. Just the barest hint, but it was there.

"What a pain in the ass." He closed his eyes.

"Hey, you're the one who asked!"

You felt a hand on your hair, ruffling it. The only way he ever showed affection. The ever familiar gesture was comfort. A reminder. You didn't even know how much you craved his touch until he touched you.

You'd be alright, you thought.

You and him.

It'd work out.

You'd be alright.

(kinda inspired by this song lol)
