Why should I care - Levi Ackerman x Reader

Pairing: Levi Ackerman x fem!Reader Genre: fluff Word Count: 1 458 Warnings: none Summary: Levi acompaies you to the market even though he has no interest in it. Prompts: market

A part of Levi wondered why he was even at this market. Of course, he knew why, but he felt so out of place and at the same time so infinitely at peace. Which, in itself, was another feeling he wasn’t used to.

The basket he was holding was heavy with fresh vegetables you had already bought, his back leaning against the edge of a fountain. There was no real reason for you to buy your own food, since you got three meals at the food hall every day, but the food there was cheap, and fresh vegetables and fruit were expensive, so they were hardly served.

Levi had known you liked going to the market for a long time, but it was the first time you had invited him along. When you had knocked against his door that morning, dressed in a simple brown dress with a sweater on top, as orange as the leaves on the trees, asking if he wanted to join you, he hadn’t even spared the market a second thought, only jumping at the idea of getting to spending time with you.

Even though he had asked if you wanted to date him over a month ago, he still felt lost. In his head he had never thought further than your rejection, so when you had agreed to go out with him, he had been helpless. So far, he had only taken you on one proper date, star gazing on top of the roof of the headquarters, but you never had complained. Both your schedules were busy, so most of the ‘dating’ you did, consisted of doing the paperwork together which you before had done in separate rooms.

Levi stopped.

Was this a date, he wondered. Going to the market together?

Now that he thought about it, it did look like you had dressed up a little. So had he though, after learning he was to accompany you. Instead of the usual uniform, he wore some comfortable and elegant clothes, that made him almost feel overdressed for the market. But the spark in your eyes as you had seen him and adjusted his previously perfectly straight tie made up for it.

Now his eyes were following you, as you walked from a stand with vegetables to one with fruit. The golden sunlight of the autumn day lit the scene in warm light, and as Levi watched the long skirt play around your legs, he couldn’t help but think that he wouldn’t mind autumn as much as he did if every day were as beautiful as today. Although, if he was honest, the day’s beauty was only measured in how many moments it gave him to admire you. He still felt uncomfortable and strange with the aching in his chest, that had him gravitate towards you constantly. It didn’t fit anything he knew about his own body and heart, and he still struggled with showing his affection. In the month of dating, the times he had held you could be counted on one hand.

You were still studying the fruits on display, when Levi’s eyes got caught on something else. Quickly checking if you were still occupied, he grabbed the handle of the basket tightly in his hand and pushed away from the fountain, walking straight towards a stand that sold small bouquets of flowers. He had already spied the one he liked best, so he simply pointed at the flowers and had the owner wrap their stems up in paper, before he paid the man, making it back to his spot at the fountain just in time before you called him.

“Levi, come here!” You waved him over, a smile on your lips that made his heart stutter. Holding the basket with the flowers at an angle that hid the contents from your sight, he walked over. “Which ones do you want to try?”

His eyes followed your hand, as you pointed at a variety of different grapes. Each kind had a small sign stuck against the respective baskets they were kept in, stating the name and the degree of sweetness or sourness.

“I was thinking I want to try these ones,” you kept thinking out loud, Levi’s eyes wandering from the grapes to your thoughtful expression. Why should he care about some grapes when you were right in front of him? “But you haven’t bought anything for yourself yet, so why don’t you choose the kind you like best?”

Levi knew next to nothing about grapes. Yes, he liked them, the sweeter and juicier the better, but other than that? You could dry them and use them as ingredients for cooking or baking and certain kinds were turned into wine, but that was where his knowledge stopped.

Not wanting to disappoint you by seeming not to care, he averted his gaze from you again and read the signs describing the grapes instead. The ones you had pointed out were supposed to taste both sweet and sour, but his eyes got hung up on some dark purple, almost black seeming fruits that got described to have a fruity-sweet flavour.

“We’ll take half a pound of these,” he told the shop owner while pointing to the ones you had expressed your interest in, and then to the ones that sounded good to him “and half a pound of these.”

While the man weighted the grapes and wrapped them in paper, you turned to Levi.

“You’ve a secret sweet tooth, hm,” you asked with a smile on your lips as you wrapped your arms around his waist and pulled yourself closer to him. The gesture made his heart beat hard, and instinctively he placed his free hand on your hip. “How are you enjoying the market so far?”

Levi just hummed in response before realising you were expecting a proper answer. “It’s a market.”

“What do you mean, it’s a market,” you teased with a laugh. “You seemed so excited to go earlier!”

Levi averted his eyes and luckily was saved by the shop owner, who presented the packed fruit to Levi, who quickly paid.

But you seemed not to have forgotten the conversation yet, because as you strode on to the next stand, you intertwined your fingers with his. “I thought you’d enjoy going to the market at least a little bit.”

Levi sighed. That was one of his problems, he was bad at communicating, it always took him a lot of effort to phrase his thoughts, and when it came to you, those were usually thoughts he wasn’t used to thinking.

“I wasn’t looking forward to the market itself,” he admitted, feeling your confused expression on the side of his face. He knew you’d tell him he didn’t have to come if he wasn’t interested, so he quickly continued explaining. “I was looking forward to spending time with you, getting to watch you do something you enjoy.”

For a moment you were quiet at his side, and when he glanced at you from the corner of his eyes, he found you were smiling. “That’s cute, Levi!”

“Shut up,” he grumbled, not meaning it.

“I won’t,” you declared, but kept walking quietly next to him, gently swinging your intertwined hands between your bodies. “Oh look, over there!” Levi’s eyes once again followed where you were pointing to. “They sell hot fruit juice with spices! I’ve wanted to try that for ages. Want to get a cup? We can get to different flavours and share!”

Levi knew his lips were tucking into a smile at your enthusiasm, and he nodded. You didn’t waste a moment to lead him over to the stand and read out the menu to him as if he couldn’t read himself. He let you, content with focusing on your smiling and excited face rather than the boring description of drinks on a blackboard. This afternoon, upon returning to the headquarters, he’d give you the flowers he had gotten you, he decided.

A selfish part of his head told him that if you kept the flowers which he had given you in your room, there’s be a part of him always close to you. He should give you a necklace or another piece of jewellery, so you could really always keep something close which he had given you. What metal would you like better, gold or silver?

He was still half listening to you contemplating which drink to get, when he leant over and pressed his lips to yours in a short kiss. It wasn’t the first kiss you shared, but Levi still couldn’t help but marvel at how sweet your lips tasted. Why would he care about some warm, sweet drink, when the warmest and sweetest thing he could ever taste were your lips?

gn!reader - i have literally no inspiration for anything except this (by a margin) hope u like it

Your lips were still slightly wet from your cold tea, but Levi's earlier reluctance was melting inside the heat of your mouth. There's a better way to describe it other than that simply, but his mind was melting, too. You had kissed a hundred times before, but after dinner, relaxed, and in your bed made it different; the TV was on, but it might as well have been silented. The feel of the soft crease between your lips parting for his tongue stirred other notions. What he'd try not to think about normally on his own because he'd feel like a creep.

Your warm breaths glossed his cheek, harder now. He leaned in more with your cheek hot under his sweaty palm, not even knowing for what exactly. Like, to hear your air reach your voice and taste a sound he's never heard you make. To be inside you more.

You did the same thing, at the same time—either you'd drop and straddle his lap or you'd pull him on top of you (and your hand was pretty tight on his waist). You couldn't do both. Instinctively, he closed himself more when he thought of it. Being on top of someone in that way was sharply different from what he was used to that meaning; doing that to you didn't appeal to him immediately until it did, and he wanted to, in just a swift concise movement. A low moan rumbled in his throat.

That really set you off for some reason. In the quickly-charging fog of lust and desire, your palm starts up his thigh, making him tense-up and pull away like he didn't mean to.

It was—much easier to contend with this newness when you didn't have your eyes on him. He started to blush—embarrassed rather than passionate—feeling he did the wrong thing. It couldn't really be clearer unless he took his pants off how turned on he was, adding to his embarrassment for some reason.

Your slight bemusement at first, warmed into a cute smile. "We can stop?"

"...No," he awkwardly muttered, and leaned in closer again, with his hand resting on your hip for the first time. "I just..."

"It been a long time?" You raised an inquiring brow.

He could tell you're just trying to preserve his pride. He made a face. "People are disgusting. It's never... It's never come up before."

"Oh, okay."

You were being coy when your hand started up his thigh again, his inner thigh this time, but slower. At some point he'd taken your wrist as if to steer you. Not in a firm hold, but a testing, soft one. He pinned his lower lip between his teeth as, you sensing his discomfort at being watched, you smeared kisses on his neck.

He'd known it was coming, but he still made an—embarrassing—gravely whimper when you touch his cock over his jeans. He almost flinched again, but not for the same reason as before. Finely rubbing through his pants already had his balls tightening in anticipation.

Your breathing stuttered just behind his ear. You were borderline smirking at all his reactions, especially when he starts pulling on your wrist. "Been a long time since you've gotten off?"

"Don't fuck with me," he grumbled, laboriously.

"But can I fuck you?"

"You shouldn't talk..." He whined now, his other hand firm on the nape of your neck. You made him shiver, tensing as you set the pace and he showed you where.

You slowed (making it all better and worse). A torn version of your name dripped from his lips.

"I'll take it slow, Levi" you purred in his ear sweetly. "And I'll make you feel so good."

He gasped. "C'mon then. C'mon."

DONT STOP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE! DONT STOP TAKING ABOUT GAZA!

DONT LET THEM MAKE YOU FORGET!!

Hillbilly Elegy 2020 (7/10)

Dir. Director: Ron Howard

tw: drugs, mental illness, addiction, poverty, sexual themes, language, violence

I wasn't a huge fan of the story by itself, like if I was reading the book, I wouldn't love it, but I rated it so highly because the acting and the cinematography are absolutely beautiful. I do think that this film definitely resonates with some people but it's a little trigger to me and not in a way that makes me feel seen, but in a way that makes me feel sad.

How to Train Your Dragon (2010) 10/10

Dir: Dean DeBlois, Chris Sanders

trigger warnings: violence, talks of death/killing, lots of fire,

This film is truly magical. Not only is it a great film for older children because of the animation and basic children-oriented theme, but it's also an ageless element that makes it easy for anyone to watch. I hate to say it because I'm definitely a girls girl and I'm also a sucker for a romance but I really think that this movie could have done without the romance...especially with Astrid.

[beezstudyoffilm]

Matilda (1996) 10/10

Dir: Danny DeVito

trigger warnings: neglect, some violence, child abuse

A real classic feel-good film. Whenever I need something...that warms me from head to toe, I watch this film with a warm snack and just feel safe and happy while watching it. I'd be really surprised if anyone my age hasn't already seen this film, but because of how much I personally feel like it shaped my childhood, I firmly believe that everyone should watch it.

Mamma Mia 2 (2018) 9.5/10

Dir: Ol Parker

trigger warnings: sexual themes, abandonment, drinking, language, death

This is simultaneously a prequel and a sequel to the first Mamma Mia, and the story is wonderful. There are, unlike in the first one, some things that I would change about this film. That's not to say that this isn't a great film that deserves just as much love as the first one. Lily James is an amazing actress that did a wonderful job in this role. If you truly love the first one, then you'll also love the second one so I highly suggest watching both. Although not together, they deserve some space in between watches.

mamma mia (2008) 10/10

Dir: Phyllida Lloyd

trigger warning: sexual themes, language, age gaps

This is quite possibly one of the best films/musicals that have ever been made. Not only is the music absolutely wonderful (of course, it is its abba), but the storyline is one that I'll never get tired of. The acting is so genuine and filled with passion from every character that it's contagious even as the viewer. Plus, the cinematography is incredible; the set for this film is the kind that everyone hopes to experience at some point in their lives, and the story/music flows so beautifully with the cinematography that you barely even notice that it's a musical because it just feels so right to have the music there. I just want everyone to watch this film at least once. It's electrifying to watch every time, and I've seen it maybe 30 times.

Shrek the Musical (2013) 7/10

Director: Michael John Warren

trigger warnings: death, violence, abandonment,

Okay....the performance aspect is wonderul i think all of the actoes did a phenomenal job in their rolls. I also think that the costume designer did an amazing job. however.....it just doesn't have the same iconicness that the film does. it's iconic in it's own different way but not as influential as the original movie. it's defiantly not a film that i would genuinely recommend but if you like musicals then this is a fine film to watch. it just doesn't hit the same what can i say.

[beezstudyoffilm]

Enchanted (2007) 6.5/10

Dir: Kevin Lima

trigger warnings: some adult humor, some violence/scary imagery

what can i say it's a modern classic. it's personally not one of my favorites to watch but i don't regret turning it on at all. it defiantly has that mid 2000's cringy humor that makes me have to look away while it happens but it's not too bad compared to other of this time period. the mix of animated and live action is an element that i wish didn't go out of style because if it's done right it's the coolest thing ever, the costume design in this film is magnificent it's truly some of the best that I've seen from a disney original.

[beezstudyoffilm]

Cars 3 (2017) 4/10

Dir: Brian Fee

trigger warnings: teeny bit of violence, some agism

Now this film was the one that we didn't need. The story was bad, like really bad. Everything else was wonderful, ie the acting and the animation but the story was so bad that it was almost impossible to ignore. it also doesn't add anything to any of the character's storylines so if you were to simply not watch it, you'd be better off.

[beezstudyoffilm]

Cars 2 (2011) 9/10

Dir: John Lasseter

trigger warning: classism, some terrorism undertones?

it’s a classic unnecessary sequel that is not nearly as good as the original….SIKE! This film is an amazing sequel and I could even argue that it’s better than the original in every possible way. This is an amazing film to watch with friends as background noise and it’s so funny that at any point you can tune in and laugh at whatever is going on on screen.

[beezstudyoffilm]

Tinkerbell (2008) 7/10

Dir: Bradley Raymond

trigger warnings: second hand embarrassment, insecurity about how a person was born

if i were to base this review upon nostalgia alone it would absolutely be a 10/10 but i have to be realistic. it’s a pretty good movie with the basic disney messages in it about loving who you are and being kind to everyone/thing around you but as an adult it’s not a super great film to watch because there’s not very much adult humor in it. it’s defiantly a fun one to watch if you’re trying to heal your inner child because it’s filled with such great disney magic.

[beezstudyoffilm]

Pitch Perfect (2012) 10/10

Dir: Jason Moore

trigger warnings: vomit, language, some fat-phobic-ish comments

i wasn’t allowed to watch it when i first came out but when i was a bit older (think 8th grade-ish) i watched it with my best friends at a sleep over and it was an out of body experience. to this day it’s one of the most enjoyable funny musically brilliant films that i’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. it has that 80s movie vibe while being a modern movie with a modern sense of humor and that’s really hard to achieve. but i think this is a pop culture classic that everyone should watch.

also on a side note, i happen to really like rebel wilson in this film and i wish instead of changing herself to fit hollywood standards i wish she would’ve done a bit more to encourage other women to love themselves but if she’s happy then i’m happy i guess.

do me a solid and just reblog this saying what time it is where you are and what you’re thinking about in the tags.

Into the Woods (2014) 4.5/10

dir. Rob Marshall

tw: darkness(like lighting wise and imagery-wise), death, infidelity, scary imagery, kidnapping, fighting

Now listen, Into the Woods is an absolutely fantastic musical and I've had the honor of seeing it live. But that's why I rated the film so low. It barely did the stage version any justice although the cast certainly did try! There were just so many things that I kept thinking "that was much better on stage" which shouldn't be the case for musicals! The goal is to bring the magic of the stage onto the big screen and I just feel like this film fell short. Anna Kendrick slayed though.

[beezstudyoffilm]

Tangled (2010) 9/10

Dir. Nathan Greno, Byron Howard

tw: death, kidnapping, toxic mother figure, some scary imagery

Tangled is an iconic retelling of Rapunzel. It's such a cute sweet watch that it's perfect for some background noise for people of all ages on a day when you need something light. It's also a wonderful movie for a movie night when you're not trying to think too hard about anything. It's giving healing your inner child with a fun sleepover. It's a cutesy Disney Princess movie what else do you expect?
