#him and nanami.... just always Watching you bc they know exactly how you'll react and they like your reactions

so it's long since established that levi can be quite distracting and as a result distracts US (which ofc he will try to correct in his own levi way 😌) but I'm wondering - would levi get distracted by his s/o? and if so, how? bc given how he is as a person, idk if I can imagine him being distracted in the typical ways e.g. forgetting what he was doing, messing up something, not hearing everything someone says to him etc (which idk... seems kinda unfair lol).

He gets distracted, he just doesn’t stumble and fumble. Honestly he’s most distracted when you’re not around. He gets caught up thinking about you when he’s folding the laundry, when he’s making dinner, when he’s cleaning. He literally has to stop and snap himself out of it sometimes. Levi thinks about you all the time, of course he’d bound to spill a bucket or two of soapy water when he’s mopping when what’s truly on his mind is what you were doing last night, not the lint on the floor. 

What Levi really likes is noticing how you get distracted by him. So maybe he does put his hand on yours while you’re telling him about his day for a comforting touch, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t like the way your palms grow warm and your eyes linger for a minute. Pays close attention to how you relax and blink up at him when he pets your head when you lay on his lap. Maybe he plays into it just to get a reaction out of you, but sue him, he thinks you look really cute whenever it happens. 

Not to say that you never catch his eye for a moment too long when you’re together, he’s just better at hiding it. It’s easy for him to say he didn’t hear a word Hange was rambling on about at dinner and nobody bats an eye—when does he ever listen to Hange; what’s unsaid, is that Hange’s blubbering was drowned by his attention on you, on your eyes, your lips, your laugh. He’s just lets his usual grumpiness act as a shield for his distraction whenever anybody else asks.
