⚠️ Trigger Warning ⚠️: Mentions of blood, vomit, low appetite, weight loss, illness, needles, angst
Please do not read if these themes are triggers. Your mental health is more important than stories on the internet. Please take care of yourself <3
Tumblr media
Weeks had passed since Levi had confessed. Your health wasn't getting better, but it wasn't getting worse. So, he took that as a blessing.
Hange did experiments and tests every day. They discovered you had alba rheumatismus rulmonum; your lungs were slowly collapsing and you weren't healing because your body was too busy trying to get the nutritions you lacked.
She explained that it was common in women who lived inside wall Rose. Only thirty years ago was a cure developed. The disease practically disappeared after that.
But now that you were diagnosed, the cure was difficult to get a hold of. Erwin had to pull some very special strings to get the syringe in their hands. It was nerve-wracking to say the least, but you wanted to get better. The survey corps needed as many soldiers as they could get and you weren't about to roll over and be killed by a little coughing.
The finally came when the procedure would take place. The 104th cadets visited you in the morning to wish you good luck. Sasha made sure to show up with a bowl of soup from breakfast.
Before they left, Levi entered the room and shooed them out.
He walked over to your bedside and carefully grabbed your hand. His cold fingers traced over your skin.
"How are you feeling," he asked like he was almost afraid of the answer.
"Eh, could be worse. At least I'm not titan food." He smiled but it wasn't genuine. The air was tense as he got lost in his rhoughts.
His eyes had a far-away look in them as he stared at your intertwined hands. When you squeezed he met your gaze. You lifted your hand to cup his cheek and like a cat he leaned into your touch. You gently led him down to your face.
"Don't be so dramatic. It's not like I'm gonna die," you joke but he doesn't seem entertained.
He was only focused on your lips as he met your mouth to his. It was soft and tender and you could feel how much emotion he was trying to convey. Levi always struggled to express his feelings and you were aware of this.
Just as you were about to start moving, he pulled away.
"Promise me you'll stay," he nearly pleaded with you. He was desperate. You smiled and nodded. Like hell you were going to leave him all by himself.
It was strange watching the seemingly emotionless captain breakdown in front of you. You knew better than anyone that he did in fact care about his comrades and he just struggled to express that.
"Hey," you spoke softly with your fingers pulling his chin up to face you, "I'm not gonna leave you."
He took in a long breath to settle his nerves and nodded.
Erwin and Hange entered quietly, a small box tucked under the section commander's arm. She began preparing the injection while Erwin walked over to you.
"How are you feeling?"
"I'm ready to get this over with so I can get back out in the field."
Erwin hummed in response. His brows were furrowed in thought. Despite your long-standing friendship with him, the commander still found a way to make you nervous. Or maybe it was your body preparing for the next few days of hell. Either way, his gaze was frightening and you found yourself gripping Levi's hand a little.
Hange walked over with gloves on and the needle ready for you.
You forced yourself to put on a brave face and roll up your sleeve. They wiped your skin down and meet your eyes. The needle was inches from your skin but felt like it was already in.
They slowly pierced the skin and flushed the syringe dry of... whatever was inside.
It didn't feel any different. She pulled away and returned to the box to clean the supplies. Erwin placed a patch of thin gauze over the injection.
Levi helped you stand and led you to your room. You all agreed it would be best to go through the side effects in a comfortable environment. The cadets had helped move some buckets and what-not into the room earlier that morning.
You sat on your bed carefully and Levi stayed standing in front of you. He watched you sway a little as you felt fatigue grab a hold of you.
He knelt down so he was eye level with you. His steel blue irises stared intently at you. Neither of you spoke for a long moment before he decided to put his hand on the side of your face.
His fingers tickled your ear and his palm was warm against your cheek. You moved forward slightly to meet him.
Your lips connected with his in a soft, tender kiss. It was passionate as he tried to convey everything he was feeling in one single moment. He tasted like black tea and you found yourself loving that.
The two of you separated but he leaned in again to kiss your forehead sweetly.
You felt like you could melt right then and there.
"Geg some sleep brat. You don't need to feel any worse tomorrow." You grinned up at him. He didn't mean for it to be funny but he enjoyed your smile nonetheless.
You moved to get comfortable and fell asleep quickly under the covers. Levi sat in an armchair tucked in the corner. He never got much sleep anyway so staying up to make sure you would be okay wasn't a problem to him.
The night passed uneasily. The medication was starting to sink in and your body was becoming more uncomfortable every hour. You tossed and turned relentlessly but never once woke from your sleep.
Levi stood and poked your cheek. You stirred a little but didn't wake. He poked you again until you opened your eyes and looked at him.
"Come on, you need to eat something."
The covers were too warm to leave their safe embrace so you simply curled into them more. Levi rolled his eyes at you and left the room to prepare your breakfast.
He knew you appreciated a cup of tea when you didn't feel good.
The kitchen was oddly silent and Levi wondered where the cadets had gone. Sasha must have already had her breakfast if she wasn't in the kitchen at the moment.
Levi carried the tray of food back to your room, but when he entered your bed was empty.
The sound of gagging came from the bathroom. He set the tray down and hurried to your side. You were hunched over a bucket hurling your innards out. Yeah this was Levi, and he was obviously grossed out by the vomit, but a part of him still wanted to kneel by your side and comfort you.
He decided on a happy medium of pulling your hair back (or rolling up your sleeves if you don't have hair or wear a cap) and resting a hand on your back.
You finished shortly after and cleaned your mouth. It was safe to say you weren't hungry any more.
You returned to the bed as a sudden wave of heat hit your body. Sweat formed on your skin and threatened to drip down your face.
"Levi.. can I get a cold cloth," you ask quietly.
He nods and comes back to your side with a brown towel. He adjusts it on your forehead and instantly feel better. You cough a little to clear your throat, but this sends you into a coughing fit.
You sit up and continue into your arm. The familar taste of iron fills your mouth and soon the inside of your sleeve is coated with blood.
Fuck, this was going to be a shitty week.
The next few days were filled with your constant changing temperature and occasional vomitting. Hange assured Levi that this was the normal process and that you would get better soon. He didn't believe it entirely, or maybe that was just his cynical side.
Your thinning frame and pale skin reminded him too much of his mom. You barely ate anything and couldn't get out of bed most of the time. The bucket seemed to always be in use.
Levi hated watching you like this. He hated seeing you fall apart in front of him and that there was nothing he could do about it.
He knew that the best thing to do was to trust Hange and Erwin buf that was harder than he thought. His trust dwindled the worse you got and the two of them knew he was nervous. They saw the way he looked at your sleeping form, the way he hurried to fulfill any sudden need of yours.
It was all too unsure for him to be relaxed.
The day you stood from your bed on your own was the day he felt his heart beat a little faster.
The day you were able to walk without assistance made him want to run to you and pick up. He wanted to twirl you around in one swift motion and hold your body close to his.
The day you ate 3 whole meals was the day Levi made a promise to himself.
He promised himself to never let you go and to keep you safe until the moment he dies. He promised to protect you and never see you hurt ever again.
He wanted you to stay with him and be his forever.
That was all he wanted after that.

⚠️ Trigger Warnings ⚠️: Mentions of weight loss, low appetite, disease, illness, angst
Please take care of yourself if these things are triggering. Stories on the internet are not worth you risking your mental health <3
Tumblr media
Levi watched as you scrubbed away at the window. He appreciated the times when you would stay longer to help him. You knew he was particular about his cleaning and felt the need to keep him company at least.
He liked that about you.
Your willingness to help those you cared about was admirable, especially coming from the stone cold captain.
Both of you felt the strange romantic tension, but you were comfortable the way things were, so why would you change it? He was mostly scared of your rejection if he confessed and decided to keep it to himself.
That was until you were sick one day.
Levi's not one to worry, and definitely not about someone he knows is strong. But you didn't join him for breakfast like usual and when he asked Hange, they said you were resting in your room.
She reassured him that you were just feeling a little under the weather and needed some time to relax and get better.
His anxiety was quenched, but only for a short amount of time because you didn't leave your room the next day, or the day after that. Before he realized, it had been weeks since you were bouncing around the halls, offering your assistance to anyone who needed it.
Even Erwin was starting to worry at your state.
Hange did their daily examination when they spoke carefully.
"Some of the cadets wanted to visit you today," her tone didn't have the normal chipperness that you'd grown so used to.
You were sat up on the edge of your bed in your bra and shorts. Hange looked at you and saw the bags under your eyes.
She glanced at your paling skin and chapped lips. Your hair was greasy and knotted and you were starting to smell a little ripe. She could tell you didn't give a damn about your appearance.
You strained a smile and replied, "they can if they want. I wouldn't mind some company, but I don't think they'd want to help me get from the bed and toilet every time I feel sick."
You laughed but there was no amusement behind it.
The days continued and these times were joined by Sasha who always brought a large tray of food--even though you always ate very little--or Connie and Jean doing your paperwork, at least what they can do, or Armin who always brings a book to read and a snuggly blanket.
These kids cared about you too much to let you spend your days alone.
Everyone visited you at some point with reassuring words and hugs. Everyone except Levi.
He was still trying to figure out what to say to you. He had no idea where the two of you stood but Hange encouraged him to speak to you one day after the examination.
They weren't the best at hiding their emotions and Levi could tell your condition was only getting worse.
The short captain entered the room to find you by yourself. The blankets were pulled up to your chin and sweat formed on your forehead.
You opened your eyes to find him standing there, and at first you thought it was a dream.
"Levi..."
"Hey brat," he said without the usual sass on the last word. He walked over and pulled the chair to your bedside. You moved to sit up so you could see his face better.
His cravat was slightly ruffled and uneven. Your hand moved on instinct to readjust it. The motion was slow and tedious. You knew how he liked his cravat and it was strange that he left his room with it in such a condition.
"Sorry, it was kind of tilted," you said as you leaned back. He eyes followed you with every movement. You rested your back to the headboard.
He grabbed your hand in his. You were surprised how warm his palms were wrapped around your cold hand. His eyes didn't meet yours as you watched him think silently.
"How are you feeling," he asked quietly.
"Eh, I still think I could kill more titans like this than you could."
He chuckled. The sound was like music to your ears. No, it was music to your ears. You could listen to that for years and never get tired of how easily it fell from his lips. You wished it was a happier sound, but it was genuine nonetheless.
"Yeah, I'm sure you could," he stated blandly, still avoiding your gaze.
You wanted to make him look at you. You wanted to get lost in his steel blue eyes once again. Every time you stayed after to help him clean, you loved seeing his eyes light up just a little at you. It wasn't something you could notice the first time, but it was something you looked forward to after the second.
"Levi, can you look at me please?"
Your voice cut through his heart. No, he didn't want to look at you.
He didn't want to see the life draining from your face and the same happy expression plastered over it. Even as you died silently in your bed you had a smile on.
It hurt him more than anything to see your cheeks cave into you, and your collar bones pushing onto your skin.
But you wanted to see him. You were asking for him to look at you, so he bit his tongue and did so.
Your smile immediately returned and your hand gripped his. He couldn't stop the tears from forming at his eyes. The first came down quick, then the second, then the third, and soon his face was drenched with his tears and the room was filled with his sobs.
You didn't know what to do. You'd never seen your fellow soldier break down like this and you were confused why it happened so suddenly.
"Um.. Levi? Are you o-okay?"
He put your hand to his chest. The salty tears didn't seem to be slowing down. You wanted to hug him but you were scared it wouldn't only make him cry harder.
His hands were grasping at yours. It felt like he was clinging to you for life. Dammit, what were you supposed to do?
You let him cry for a moment. He sniffled slightly and finally spoke him broken sobs.
"You can't- you can't leave me too," he choked out. "They're all gone and- and you're all that I have left. Please y/n... please just- just stay with me."
There was no hesitation when you grabbed his shoulders and pulled him into a hug. He didn't stop as he buried his head in the crook of your neck. You felt the tears on your skin and soaking into your shirt.
You put your hand on his head and softly ran your fingers through his hair.
Despite your weak form your grip on the man was still strong. He wanted to be in your arms for the rest of his life. He wanted to feel your heartbeat and pulse because that meant you were alive. It meant you were with him.
He hated seeing you like this. It reminded him too much of his mother and how she died.
She left him too early, and he wasn't going to let you leave him too. He held you close, and at some point Levi lost track of how long he'd been like this. You were going to stay.
Walls, he needed you to stay. And you didn't want to leave him either.

reiner with a plus size reader:
fem!bodied reader
cw: weight, insecurities, slight mentions of anxiety & depression, angst, fluff
Tumblr media
Your third year of college was just starting and you couldn't wait to get back to classes. You were really passionate about your major and would spend hours talking to Armin about it while he nodded and listened intently.
The friend group consisted of Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Ymir, her girlfriend Historia, Jean and his two children, Reiner, and Annie. You were closest with Sasha who encouraged you to be yourself every time you got insecure, and it mostly helped.
Sometimes, however, your mind would keep wandering and couldn't stop.
It always seemed like there was more to dislike than like about yourself. Your stretch marks might be showing or your head is tilted where your double chin shows.
Maybe your shorts showed the cellulite of your thighs or your legs jiggled too much when you walked.
Whatever your mind wanted to be plagued with that moment is what you focused on for days afterwards. Your bed seemed to swallow you more and more before Sasha finally pulled you out and helped you talk it through.
And she wasn't the only one who noticed. Everyone could tell when you would get in these funks because you'd show up to classes or parties with your long, oversized shirts or sweaters hiding most of your frame.
Armin had concluded that they were your comfort clothes and whenever you wore them, you were probably self-conscious again.
You would try to put on a smile and keep up your normal energy, but sometimes you felt like crashing to the floor and never waking up again.
And your friends loved you and only wanted to see you be comfortable in your own skin.
But the annoying part about the whole situation was that Reiner chased after you like a lost puppy and you still couldn't recognize his adoration.
Ever since he first saw you on campus he was head over heels in love with you.
He would offer to carry your books, bring you coffee, study with you late into the night, and anything else that you needed, 9 times out of 10 he would be there.
And he hated watching you sum up your self-worth based on your size or insecurities.
But he found you absolutely gorgeous.
And that had nothing to do with your appearance, not yet at least. He loved your personality and how you would smile when the sky was a particular shade of purple.
Or how your laugh made his cheeks warm and his stomach flutter.
Maybe it was the passion you had for your major that initially drew him in. Whatever it was, it would take a lot more than a little bit of jiggle to send him the other direction.
You hated your thighs and how they shook, but he only wanted to reach out and squeez them. You hated your stretch marks, but to him they look like battle scars that you won fighting a tiger.
You hated how cumbersome your breasts could be some days, but all he wanted to do was watch you push your shoulders back and walk into the college building with the confidence that you deserved.
He wanted to hold your hand and pull you close to his chest while he detailed everything he loved about you.
Everyone around you could see it in his eyes.
Connie, Sasha, and Ymir were making bets how long it would take for you two to finally confess to each other. Sasha hinted at it a couple times, but it took a little bit more encouragement for Reiner to confess to you.
He showed up with roses and your favorite chocolates at your doorstep. The poor man couldn't get a word out but you didn't care.
He was standing there, telling you how much he cared for you, and you couldn't feel happier.

reiner falling asleep to you singing:
reiner x gn!reader
cw: mentions of multiple personalities, basically all of Reiner's trauma
Tumblr media
you had a long day and returned home with sleep at the forefront of your mind. you wordlessly trudged to your shared bedroom to find reiner curled up on your bed.
you changed into sweats and as quietly as you could, you climbed in next to your boyfriend.
he stirred while you made yourself comfortable. his golden hazel eyes met yours and you smiled at him.
you recalled the song he told you his mother used to sing to him. it wasn't anything extraordinary or unique; it was simple and sweet. maybe that was his favorite part of it. the song didn't require a lot of skill or effort.
you didn't need to be a good singer for him to love your voice. your presence alone could relieve him of his worries.
the notes flitted from your mouth easily as you held him close to your curled frame. he closed his eyes and sunk deeper into the mattress. it didn't take long for his goofy snores to take over and you knew he would be sleeping hard tonight.
you watched him carefully, taking in every feature of his face. it was strange how despite all of his trauma, the man still cared for you like no other. sometimes you could feel him switch and his words didn't sound like him.
but when you see him resting like this, so peacefully and exposed for you to see, you just know that no matter what, he's still the same dork you fell in love with.
content, you leaned down and placed a soft kiss to his nose as you felt sleep take its hold on you as well.
Tumblr media
a/n: okay these are fun and all but i feel like my ideas are getting stale. if you want a specific scenario please dm me. i would really appreciate some new inspo <3

what you do after pt.2:
WARNING: s4 spoilers
gn!reader (also reader x levi will be older than the 104th, i imagined a 25+ year old)
cw: ptsd, nightmares, angst, fluff
Tumblr media
eren:
After the rumbling and Eren using the founding titan's powers, the rest of the eldian population was rightfully suspicious. Armin tried his best to ease the tension between the relationship, but they weren't convinced that Eren was dead.
And of course, he wasn't.
The two of you resided on Paradis, like Jean, outside the walls in a village next to a forest. The town was small and still beginning, but the two of you were just grateful to know you weren't caged like animals.
He worked training the young kids self-defense, and you worked as a blacksmith (or whatever job you'd like better; baker, weaver, farmer, etc.) and the two of you lived quietly.
You both were still young and still learning how to funtion as an adult, so it was normal for the two of you to return home and simply lay down and rest together.
It was also normal to wake up in a cold sweat. Most of the time you struggled to remember what the nightmare was about, but you could feel the dread prickling up your body until you couldn't stomach it and got out of bed.
You would begin to associate bed with nightmares, so you would alternate between the living room chair and your bed.
Eren had his own issues that he fought nightly.
He would often speak while he slept and wake up curled away from you without the blankets. Most of the time you would wake up too and pull him into a hug, but on the rare occasions that you didn't, he leave to go get a drink of water and sit on the porch.
The night sky reminded him of the Paths realm and it was oddly comforting.
You both had your triggers, some worse than others. He especially hated when the 'flying boats' would be overhead and remind him of Marley.
Neither of you fought, but things could get tense when you both were having an episode. It was best to take some time to yourselves and sort through your emotions. Other times you would sit down and talk to each other about it, effectively ending the disagreement with a hug or kiss.
Life with Eren is peaceful, but not always perfect and you're content with that.
reiner (my beloved ♥):
The two of you travel with Armin and the others to establish peace with the remaining eldians.
Most of your time is spent on a boat or a 'flying boat' and even though it's not the perfect happy ending, you two are happy wherever the other is.
You both take it slow and agree that you're still quite young to get married. You don't want to make any lasting decisions but you know that you enjoy being with him no matter what.
And neither of you are free from your past. Reiner still switches between his two distinctive personalities. It's not as intense now that the majority of the 'life or death' fighting is over, but that doesn't mean everything is okay now.
There are moments where you'll be sitting next to him and he gets this far-away stare. His eyes glaze over and his body stills.
You always grab his hand to pull him back to reality. It's not hard or firm. It's comforting to him as a constant reminder that you're together.
You have dinners and nice evenings with your friends. You all share some amount of trauma, but when you take a minute to relax and recharge your brains, it's not uncommon for your night to end a little tipsy giggling at everything Reiner says.
He loves making you laugh, and you love seeing him smile. Sometimes it feels like the two of you don't do it enough, but those around you can see just how loved up you guys are.
You're favorite thing is waking up wrapped in his warm arms. He's not overly sweaty but you're not freezing cold; he's the perfect medium and you can't get enough.
You make him food when he's down and just hold each other.
One night you found that reading to him helped him relax. He was able to eacape the world and just listen to your gentle tone lull him to sleep. If you're at home you'll get the fireplace going and just curl up in each others grasp.
Pieck adores you and absolutely supports your relationship.
levi:
When Levi lost his fingers, and his eye and knee was injured, he was absolutely terrified that you would leave him.
He already had some serious insecurity issues about his appreance, but now it's at an all time high.
Of course you stayed with him because the man could go bald, get a foot shorter, lose all of his toes and you would still love him.
You reassured him a million times but once you started tracing the scars on his face and knee he knew you were telling the truth. Something in your eyes just held so much adoration for the man that he couldn't possibly not believe you.
Seriously, how could you not love him? You'd spent years as his comrade and even more years as his significant other. You wouldn't have thrown all of that away because of a couple scars.
Anyway, you encouraged Levi to open his tea shop and you had always wanted a bookstore, so you combined the two.
You worked hard to make the café book shop a success. At one point you wanted to call it 'Ackerman's Tea & Reads' but Levi immediately shut that down despite yours and Gabi's pleads.
The two of you agreed on 'Café au Paradis', mostly because Falco read about the language and thought it was fun.
Your home is directly above the tea shop with a small kitchen and two bedrooms. The other room is often used by Gabi or Falco while they spend the night.
The idea of children had crossed your mind a few times and Levi said he would consider it, but the two of you realized that you enjoyed helping the two idiots and the remaining orphans that needed people to care for them.
You make sure to listen to everything Levi has to say, especially about his past trauma and mental health. The two of you have a healthy system of sitting down and talking every night about your progress.
When he gets particularly stubborn and refuses to talk, you wake up early the next morning to make him breakfast and show him that you'll always be there for him.
Just seeing you working at the tea shop, or hearing you hum as you push him in his wheelchair makes his heart thump in his chest. He loves your comforting nature and that you prioritize his needs.
Sometimes it bothers him that you put him first all the time, but for the smaller things, it really makes him feel loved.
Show him you love him and he'll be all yours.

what you do after:
WARNING: s4 spoilers
gn!reader
cw: fluff, angst, mentions of ptsd, children
Tumblr media
armin:
After Eren's death, he took a while to recover. He wasn't hiding in his room or ignoring his responsibilities, but sometimes he would get this far-off look and it would take a moment for him to return to the real world.
He wants to help Paradis have a good relationship with foreign eldians so he doesn't have a lot of time to be a househusband.
However, he loves staying in bed with you and when you both wake up you'll walk to the beach and smell the salty air.
Yeah you guys are gonna have a beach house.
He wants to make the next step and propose, but he doesn't have the guts to do it right away. He only tells you he was waiting to propose when you mention the idea of waking up to him every morning. You kept hinting at it and he knew he had to do it.
You had a small wedding with your friends and spent your honeymoon on the sea.
jean:
He would want a nice house outside the walls somewhere in a field. He'd love the idea of raising his kids on a small farm.
Despite his negotiation skills and Armin's constant prodding, Jean wouldn't be too involved with the rest of the Eldian population. His insecurities tell him he'll only make things worse and it'd be best if he just stayed on Paradis.
Jean had already mentioned marriage before Marley attacked, so when everything settled down, Mikasa and the others weren't surprised to hear about the modest wedding you two were planning.
And yes, Mikasa was invited and she honestly loved listening to you talk about Jean.
Things would be difficult at first. Nightmares and long minutes of memories weren't new, but now that you were finally free of expectations it made coping a lot harder. It was normal for you to wake up to Jean sitting on the edge of the bed with his head in his hands and sweat forming on his back.
You would comfort each other with firm hugs and sweet kisses, even if you're both doing something and it's just in passing.
At the end of the day you know you're going to spend the rest of your life with him and that's all the comfort you'll need.
mikasa (bc i love her):
Things were bittersweet at the end. You and Mikasa had a romantic relationship, but you knew Eren was her first love and that it would be hard for her to move on. You were willing to wait as long as she needed.
That day came sooner than you expected when you went to meet her under the designated tree. You would meet up to keep her company since Armin was gone quite often and to simply enjoy each others company.
She leaned against the base of the tree and you laid beside her, your face in the shade and from your shoulders down covered in sunlight.
All of the sudden she grabbed your hand and looked at you.
She explained that a part of her still loved Eren, and always would, but she was ready to move forward and live a beautiful, long life with you.
Holy shit she spoke more in those last 20 seconds than she did in the last year.
You gripped her hand and smiled. After a moment of looking into each others eyes, you let go and sprang to your feet. You lead her into the field where you hugged her and spun around.
After a while you two moved in together and lived peacefully. You wanted to open a bakery and she agreed. Your lives were calm, sweet, and filled with love.
You never officially have a wedding, but you do buy each other rings and refer to her as your wife. She appreciated the mellow things in life.
Damn, you were lucky as hell.

armin with an attractive s/o:
armin x gn!reader
cw: insecurities, mostly just fluffy
Tumblr media
the poor boy would have a huge crush on you from the first time you met, and when you reciprocated his feelings he would nearly pass out
it wasn't surprising that most of the boys in the 104th liked you too. shit, even Reiner had a hard time hiding his blush when you were around
but you only cared about the short, intelligent blond boy
eren would try to be his wingman but he usually just made the two of you uncomfortable so he stopped (i.e, mikasa smacked him whenever he said something stupid, which was every time he spoke)
mikasa would be so proud when the two of you finally admitted your feelings and started dating
she's never a 'girl friend' before so it's a nice change of pace, but she'll never say that out loud. please just play with her hair and be yourself, she'll be so comfortable around you
you reassure armin all of the time that you don't care about the people who like you
at first, he would second guess himself ALL the time. now, as the two of you grow into adulthood, he almost shows you off
if you go on dates, he'll put his arm around your waist/shoulders and just smirk at people who stare for a little too long. he loves talking about you to them.
"yeah, they're dating me. i know, cool right? they're so smart, and kind, and gorgeous. and they're all mine."
he loves bragging about you and don't ever tell him to stop because he literally can't

first kiss with the 104th boys:
pt. 2
armin x gn!reader ; reiner x gn!reader
cw: mentions of injuries, blood, s4 SPOILERS, fluffy as shit with a sprinkle of angst ✨
Tumblr media
armin:
at first, you didn't know why you joined the cadet corps. you weren't like eren who wanted to avenge his mother, or jean who wanted to join the MP.
no, you still questioned why you were there in the first place.
that was until you watched eren lose his leg and give his life to save armin. you weren't particularly close with anyone in the 104th, but seeing armin so close to the titan that just ate his friend made your skin flare with fear
you didn't hesitate to propel yourself at armin and grab his limp body. you could see in your peripherals that his eyes were still wide and tears spilled over onto his cheeks
for the first time since you joined the cadet corps, you felt purpose. the reason you kept fighting, the reason you took leadership and chose the survey corps was for armin.
after eren returned as a titan and the court finally allowed him to work with section commander Hange Zoe, you knew why you stayed. every day you would greet armin and you felt your heart soar at his smile.
and you weren't the only person feeling this way
armin would catch himself staring at you as you studied or as you worked with hange and he couldn't stop the warmth going to his face.
one day, jean had enough of the two of you and outright said, "walls would you guys just get a room already?"
sasha and connie snickered in the corner while you and armin avoided the others gaze.
awkward tension remained for the rest of the day. you made it a regular routine to relax in the library after a long day, so when armin found you on the couch in front of the fireplace with a book in hand he wasn't too surprised.
you felt the cushions sink as he sat down beside you silently
you were suddenly very aware of your knees brushing and the small proximity of your two bodies.
"is something wrong?" you ask not looking up from your book and effectively breaking the weird silence.
"n-no. i just needed to talk to you..." he trailed off and you looked over to see him staring blankly at the ground.
you closed the book and sat up to put your hand on his.
"is it about what jean said today?"
he nods, simply saying, "yeah... i was just worried you w-wouldn't want to be around me any more.."
"armin!" you smack his shoulder, gaining his full attention. "of course I want to be around you! just because jean is being an ass doesn't mean I'll stop being your friend."
he smiles sadly and you fear that you said something wrong.
"yeah i just wish things were different..."
you feel his hand grip yours firmly. you're both so close, that if you just leaned in a little you could finally feel what its like to k--
"y/n?" his voice breaks you from your trance and you realize you were staring at his mouth. "do you think jean was right?"
his question shocks you. did armin just ask that?
"i mean, i wouldn't be mad if he was..."
suddenly you feel his other hand on the side of your face and you make eye contact with him. "a-armin?"
"can i kiss you?"
a moment of silence passes between you two and the poor boy thinks your hesitation is just you trying to figure out a nice way to reject you. his hand drops from your face as he feels the familiar sense of embarrassment wash over him.
when you finally get your head out of your ass, you pull him back and smash your lips onto his. Walls his heart was going to explode.
he returned his hand to your face and you wrapped your fingers through the ends of his hair. he tasted like the apple pie that was served at dinner.
as you embraced each other, eren and mikasa stood outside the library door.
"did the finally do it?" sasha whispers
mikasa nods, a small smile forming on her mouth. connie fist pumps the air and eren has to hold back his shouts of pride from seeing his friend make a move, even if it took a long time
reiner:
you and reiner had been unofficially dating. neither of you wanted to admit your feelings, but that didn't stop you guys from doing couple-y things
after Trost, reiner made the conscious decision to take the next step. Bertholdt and annie would be pissed, but he couldn't care less. he wasn't convinced that a person as kind as you could be considered a 'devil'
this decision was prompted after reiner found you injured on the rooftop of a house in the middle of the battle. your side was soaked with blood and your skin was starting to coat with sweat. they still needed to get the gas tanks, but reiner wouldn't let you die by yourself.
he was determined to keep you alive.
so when he returned to the group with your fragile body held bridal style, it wasn't an unpopular opinion to leave you there.
using 3D maneuver gear while carrying someone was risky and the others weren't willing to let one of their best soldiers die trying to save you.
you told him to leave you there and find you after he got his gas refilled but the blonde continued to refuse. damn he was stubborn
with the help of armin and jean, you were firmly strapped to reiner and the plan was carried out.
after you climbed the walls with your gas refilled and Eren's court sentence was finalized, you were almost completely healed. thanks to the captain's giving nature those few days, you received minimal chores and you were sent to rest every few hours
you hated feeling helpless but as you healed you were allowed to go on walks and begin training again.
one day, Reiner approached you and asked you to join him in the fields later that night
he had his speech prepared and the flowers looked extra healthy that day, so he knew it was the time to do it. the sun was starting to set as you and the blonde trecked uphill
you reached the top to find a bouquet and a blushing man standing next to you.
"y/n," he began, not looking at you as he grabbed the flowers. "when i found you on that rooftop I-- I was scared you were already gone and that i would never get to tell you..."
he turned and faced you. his face was a mixture of sadness and fear at the prospect of losing you.
"damn this is harder than I thought," he laughed and you reached forward with a smile. his eyes met yours and silence took over.
your hands held his as you looked over the flowers. an assortment of purples and reds met your nose as yoh sniffed. walls, this man could send your heart fluttering with the smallest action.
"you don't have to say anything," you responded, gently cupping his cheek in your hand. you leaned forward and kissed his cheek
"you missed" he said with a new sense of confidence. your eyes widened and realization dawned on you.
standing on your tiptoes and leaning forward again, you sent your hand behind his neck and pulled him down to meet you halfway. your lips connected in a sweet, gentle kiss. he slithered his hands to your waist, careful not to hurt your injured side.
his only thought was, "fuck being an honorary marleyan" as he got used to the feeling of your lips on his

oh darling
levi x fem!reader
cw: mentions of death, angst, just overall sad times
Tumblr media
He knew this was a bad idea. From the beginning Levi knew the feeling deep in his gut was right.
The survey corps had never been beyond the walls for this long, and the odds of returning alive got slimmer every day they were gone. The trees were only so tall and the tanks would only last for so long.
He was able to talk Erwin into a retreat due to the supplies beginning to dwindle, but the challenge wasn't over as they rode towards the walls.
Shingashina was in view and Levi felt his worry slowly fade as he looked at you. Your face was determined and firm, but when you caught him staring, you smiled to your ears.
Your smile disappeared as you heard the familiar thumping of a nearby titan.
The titan was a 13 meter class and it was closer than you had assumed. Others trailed behind it but they were too far to be a threat at the moment.
Your 3D maneuver gear wouldn't be useful out here so you opted to try and lead it away from the formation. You were joined by a new soldier and the two of yoh veered right as the titan followed. It wasn't particularly fast but it had the advantage lf being in the open.
The pale brown horse you rode was keeping a good pace along with your squad member. The two of you seemed to be handling the situation well.
Ateast that's what Levi thought before your scream pierced his ears. His attention shot your way to find you in the clutches of a new titan. It had snuck up on you and the soldier on all fours. Now it stood with your legs dangling over it's mouth.
Levi propelled himself as he stuck his wires on a tree that was halfway between you and him.
He spent a large portion of his gas as he shot his body at the titan that squeezed you tightly. But the distamce was too far and he was forced to watch the titan bite and rip into your legs right above the knees.
Your throat ached from the blood-curtling scream you let out.
Levi pulled his blades through the nape of the titan, effectively killing it and it's grasp on you. Despite the feeling of weightlessness, you could only focus on the pain that overwhelmed your legs.
That feeling left as Levi grabbed your bleeding body and landed on the ground, careful not to hurt you.
At that moment, your head was fuzzy and you couldn't make out the words your fiance was saying. Walls you were colder than a saturday morning curled into Levi's sleeping form...
"Y/n..?" Levi choked out, tears brimming his eyes. "Hey! Brat! Hold on for a little and we can fix you up. Just hold on for the medics..."
Your senses suddenly sharpened and you were aware of the pain in your legs, his arm under your neck, his tears that dropped onto your cheek, and your hand that gently pulled his onto your chest.
"What did you say your mother's name was?" You knew what her name was. The two of you had conversations about her too often that you could never forget the sweet smile that graced his lips whenever you talked of her.
Your face was beginning to pale and your skin got colder by the minute.
"Ku- Kuchel," he replied, the tears spilling over his face more than before.
"Ahh, that's right. I remember-" you coughed a little and the metallic taste filled your mouth. "I remember you saying her hair was the darkest black you could imagine."
He nodded, cluthing your body a little closer.
"Do you remember the song she used to sing to you?"
He knew where this was going and that only made his heart hurt more. Levi nodded and wordlessly began humming the simple tune his mother sang to him to help the young boy fall asleep.
After all these years, the song was prevalent in his mind.
"I love your voice Levi," your eyes slowly blinked as the need for sleep overtook you. It felt like you could take a twenty hour nap...
As if it was the first time you saw him cry, you reached up and wiped his tears away. "Oh darling, don't worry. I'm just gonna sleep for a little bit. You can wake me up when you want to leave for dinner..."
He buried his face in the crook of your neck as he listened to you breathe. He took into account everything he could before you left him. Your breathing, your smell, your heart beat, your skin, the feeling of your hair in his hands.
Finally after a moment of rubbing soft circles on his hand, you stopped. You stopped breathing, bleeding, moving. You had stopped living.
Levi didn't want to pull himself from you. He wanted to do exactly like you told him. He would wait for you to sleep and when the time came, he would shake you and wake you up for your anniversary dinner.
He wouldn't be outside the walls, he wouldn't be crying and he wouldn't be holding your body. You would be awake and smiling like you always did. You would get dressed up and after your dinner the two of you would return home. He would begrudgingly let you braid his hair and talk about whatever you wanted.
Oh darling, how he loved you playing with his hair.

first kiss with the 104th boys:
eren x gn!reader ; jean x gn!reader
eren:
you had been waiting outside his room after levi beat him in court to prove eren can control himself
you knew he was okay physically, but that didn't stop you from being worried.
hange assured you he would be alright, but you didn't want to leave the chair you sat on outside his room even when your eyes got heavy from your lack of sleep
after hours of waiting, the door opens and you turn to see eren with his head wrapped in gauze
"hey! are you okay?" you ask, jumping to your feet. you grab his forearms and inspect his face for any lasting injuries.
he laughs breathlessly and your heart hits your ribs. he seems so relaxed and the sparkle in his eyes makes you realize how close you two are.
you both stop and stare at the other.
"sorry.." you say sheepishly as you remove your hands. "i guess I'm just tired."
"don't worry about it," he replies, a soft grin playing on his lips. you catch yourself staring at them only for him to raise his eyebrows at you and cock his head to the side.
Walls you were gonna regret this weren't you?
you grabbed his hands and held them firmly. his previous expression fell and was replaced with confusion.
both of your eyes met. you leaned in a little and he soon followed. the air was thick between the two of you and you felt your heart hammering your ribs again.
"eren.." you whispered carefully watching his reaction. "can i kiss you?"
he looks at you and smirks, "please do."
you placed your hand on the side of his face gently to not hurt him. your bodies moved closer like magnets
after a second of hesitation you meet his lips in a tender, relaxed kiss. he moves in rhythm with you as he places his hand on your shoulder.
huh. maybe the walls were looking over you today.
jean:
you were lying in the infirmary with your arm in a sling. after the battle of trost, you were immediately sent to the hospital where your injuries were treated.
other soldiers were there and the nurses were frantic to hell as many people as they could. after a few days you returned to the barracks but remained with the injured soldiers.
your comrades had visited but one person wouldn't leave you alone.
jean would get anything you needed.
a cup of water? already on your nightstand. lunch? he's got two trays and a topic to talk about. some rest and silence? he came with a book
however, one day he came in and you felt your breath catch in your throat.
"hey!"
"how are you feeling?" he asks, sitting down and putting his forearms on the mattress.
"not too bad. my arm is feeling a lot better." he nods and doesn't say anything else. it kinda weired you out. jean was always comfortable talking to you, but today felt awkwars and uncomfortable.
he doesn't mame eye contact with you as he thinks to himself.
maybe you said something wrong. maybe sasha told him you had a crush on him and he didn't like you. maybe he was just doing this because the others told him to. maybe he didn't really--
"why did you do it?"
his question shocks you a little
"h-huh? why did i do what?"
he sighs and runs his hand through his hair. "you could've died y/n. what would have happened if you left me like that? and for a dog?"
it all clicked suddenly. "oh! Jean I'm sorry i scared you. i just- i couldn't leave her... the titan would've crushed her!"
"i dont care!" he raised his voice but it was shaking as he stood and stared at you. "I don't care if you'd left a random dog! I care about you making it out alive so we can live a long life together!"
his eyes widen and realization dawns on you. he... what?
"do you really want that," you ask softly. your eyes rose up to his and you pursed your lips.
"i-- yeah... I do."
he sits back down and puts his head in his hands. you wait a moment beflre you respond, your voice breaking the silence.
"it's a good thing i do too."
he reacts instantly. his head shoots up and his eyes are small as ge watches you. you smirk at him as he leans in. you weren't ready for this bold of a move so your smile quickly fades
"i didn't know how much i needed you in my life, but the idea of you dying like that made me realize... i really want to kiss you."
a moment passes before you laugh. he joins in at his awkward declaration. walls he loved your laugh.
"i won't stop you," you say leaning in closer.
he puts his hand on your neck as a smile rests on his face. you both meet in the middle and connect your lips. it's soft and tender, his mouth moving against yours carefully.
he could get used to feeling your lips against his more often.

teaching jean how to play guitar:
jean x gn!reader
cw: none, just fluff for my lonely soul
Tumblr media
he loves listening to you practice. he'll come home early one day and catch you softly tuning your guitar in the shared bedroom
you're humming to yourself as he leans his head against the door and listens to the rhythmic strum of your fingers on the strings
he'll mention it during dinner and you offer to play for him some time. his eyes light up a little and he looks like a child one his birthday as you sit him down and pull out the instrument
your fingers glide elegantly over the neck of the guitar. a simple tune takes over and jean watches in amazement
he wont want you to stop
he'll be at work and brag about you to his coworkers
"yeah, they know how to play guitar. it's pretty impressive how good they are."
seriously, they're kinda getting tired of how often he talks about you. someone mentions music? jean runs in and explains in detail how you learned at a young age and how you could easily be a professional mucisian.
at some point he gets really interested and picks up the guitar. he doesn't expect to be any good, and he's not, but you overhear and offer to teach him the basics
he acts like you just gave him the best present in the world.
"really? you'll teach me? thanks y/n!" with a giddy smile plastered on his face. how could you say no to this poor boy?
it's nothing special, but he adores every second of your tutoring. he absorbs everything you tell him and also uses it as an excuse to touch your hands. boy is desperate.
after a couple weeks he can play a little bit and he's starting to understand sheet music pretty well.
it's a great couple bonding thing that you both do now, and it's only brought the two of you closer.
