I love your levi analysis! It’s on point and accurate. I like the way you portray levi’s character on your headcanons and fics 👏🏻 what do you think levi will be as a boyfriend? I’ve read many fics where they portray levi as a toxic bf 😒 imo idk he’s ever going to be like that

i’m glad you like the way i write him!! and personally, idt levi would be a toxic bf either. sure he’ll make some slip ups here and there (who doesn’t) but i do think he’ll always be trying his best.

imma describe bf levi below the break bc GUESS WHAT i made another essay e h e

having levi as a bf in canon verse would mean he’d be protective of you but in subtle ways (i.e. he’ll shut up anyone who tries to talk shit about you or doubts your skills as a soldier). he won’t be the jealous type either; he trusts you a lot and doesn’t have a reason to doubt your relationship. so if someone tries to flirt with you, he doesn’t step in— he knows you can handle it— but if he sees you’re uncomfortable and the person’s getting pushy, then he’ll interfere.

levi’s a really private person so i do think your relationship would be on the down low. he’s not ashamed of it and won’t deny dating you, he just won’t go around yelling about it unprompted.

i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: THE LITTLE THINGS. levi shows his love through the little things. don’t expect grand gestures like going out to fancy dinners or surprise bouqeuts of flowers or random proclamations of love. but do expect him to let you hold onto his arm for balance when you readjust your ODM straps. do expect him to buy you a new bottle of ink when he notices yours is running low. do expect him to sew your wings of freedom cape when he sees that it’s torn after a particularly rough expedition. tbh you don’t even have to expect it bc levi’s already doing it without being asked. to him, it’s the little things that count.

pda-wise, it’d also be on the down low. he’s not the type to randomly sweep you off your feet or give you hugs in public, but he’d be the type to trace your fingers underneath the table; to rest his hand on your knee; to lightly squeeze your shoulder when he thinks you need a little reassurance. in private tho, he’s much more affectionate. that’s when you can expect the hugs and cuddles (no matter how few or far in between).

FOREHEAD KISSES. he likes forehead kisses, whether it be giving or receiving. tbh i think levi would love giving you tender kisses to your forehead, nose, and lips. only in private tho, he’s not comfortable with being openly affectionate around strangers.

this man isn’t a Pro at reading emotions. forgive him. he won’t always know when you’re sad or angry or frustrated. you gotta tell him how you’re feeling because playing games and hoping he’ll notice won’t work. you have to communicate with him. once you do, you bet your ass he’ll try his damndest to make you feel better/fix a problem you have in the relationship (if it’s within his reach).

this man also sucks at pillow talk but he’s trying, okay? he’s trying for you. he won’t always tell you what you want to hear, but he’ll tell you things you need to hear (“it was your own stupidity that got you into that mess. you’ve got no one else to blame but yourself.”) overtime tho, as your relationship develops, i think he’d know when to ease up on being too honest and soften the blow (“you saw a bad situation and made a decision. a stupid decision, but a decision nonetheless. that’s all there is to it.”)

levi’s a listener. he’ll listen to you talk about your day, your hobbies and interests, your friends and family. if you need a shoulder to cry on or for someone to just be... there, he’d be more than glad to hold you and listen. it may seem like he’s uninterested and not paying attention, but deep down, he’s hanging on to every word you say (also he’d be a pro at gossip okay he can keep up with every little detail. he pretends not to care to keep it Professional but there’s no denying levi loves himself some good tea.)

but overall yes levi would be an adorable bf who’s lowkey, pays attention to the little things, and truly does his best to keep the relationship healthy. 11/10 would date.
