Scenario: Reader-Chan is amazing at anything in the form of arts and enjoys her free time drawing or painting. One day all cadets are dismissed from training and Levi comes across Reader-Chan in the middle of drawing. Awestruck by her work, they bond and confess parts of their feelings towards each other.
{Levi's Point of View}
I roamed the halls of headquarters and watched as cadets freely enjoyed their spare time as today they were all given a day off. I myself managed to finish my paperwork early and not I'm wondering what I could do. I thought for a while and only one thing happened to cross my mind. I wanted to see and watch whatever Cadet (Your name) was doing.
I loved Cadet (Your name). It was obviously a secret but I'm sure many noticed that I favored her in particular. Not only was she gorgeous and intelligent, she was one of the strongest cadets I have ever had. The moment I first laid my eyes on her, was the moment I fell in love with her.
But for some reason, I couldn't seem to find her. "Four eyes." I said, approaching Hanji as her and (Your name) got along well. "Have you seen Cadet (Your last name)?"
"I asked her if she wanted to help me with an experiment but apologized and said she was going outside to do something."
I clicked my tongue, in an attempt to seem like my usual stoic stuff, and started to wan away to my desired location. (Your name) wasn't directly outside of HQ and therefore it took some time for me to find her; but once I did find her, I was slightly surprised. There she was facing the horizon and beaming sun as she painted on a blank notepad page. From the looks of it, it was directly what was in front of her. The view.
I watched her from behind and surprisingly she didn't notice me. It must have been because I was f directly behind her and so she couldn't see my shadow. I took a seat and continued to watch, in complete awe at her work.
"How long are you planning on sitting there and not saying anything, Captain?" I nearly jumped up upon her speaking directly towards me.
"How long have you known I was here for?"
"Since you got there. Feel free to come watch up close, or are were you looking for me for a particular reason?"
I stood up, walked beside (Your name), and took my seat again. "Hanji was annoying me about how you refused to help her in an experiment." I lied.
"I thought today's view was extra lovely and so I wanted to capture the moment."
"You seem to be talented with your hands."
(Your name) scoffed. "Barely. I'm not the best."
I looked back at her work. How could she say such a thing. Her art was magnificent. "I don't think anyone else here can paint that. How long have you been doing this for?"
(Your name) put her brush down and looked at me. "Since I was a little girl. I always have liked using my hands."
"Your hands are gifted."
"In what ways?" (Your name) asked, truly seeming as though she had no idea how talented she is.
"You're my top cadet. I know talent when I see it."
(Your name) lowered her eyes and sighed in sadness. "Then why have I been left alone my entire life? Why has everyone abandoned me and said that I wasn't good enough? I don't think I'll ever know the answer. Perhaps that's why I joined the Survey Corps."
I didn't know (Your name)'s story but upon hearing her words, I can tell she never had it easy. "Being from the underground feels that way. Like you're not good enough."
"The underground is roughest of locations to live in. I was lucky that my parents managed to move above ground through bypassing the guards."
"You're from the underground?" I asked, raising a brow.
(Your name) ran her fingers through her painting, noting it was dry so she could turn the page. I was shocked to see pictures of familiar scenes from underground. Only someone who has seen the underground with their own eyes would be able to paint it.
"I had no idea. I thought I was the only one."
"You're not alone, though I'm sure it sometimes feels like that. All of us Cadets are younger than you and you've lost all your squad mates. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring them up."
"Don't apologize. I thought I lost everyone. I thought I was alone. But now I see that I'm not and I feel relieved."
(Your name) smiled weakly before looking into my marble orbs. "Though you are my superior, I hope I was able to teach you something today."
Her voice was as calm and caring as ever. Almost to the point where it sounded mellow, but I enjoyed it. Something about it put me at ease.
"From the sounds of it, you're much wiser than I am. I wouldn't necessarily call myself your superior."
(Your name) half-heartily smiled. "I don't think that true Captain. You've taught me much more than you'll ever know."
"Levi."
"Huh?"
"Call me Levi when it's just us."
(Your name) seemed to be in the thought for a moment before speaking. "In that case, just call me by my first name when we're alone."
"(Your name)." I spoke her name. "It's a lovely name."
"I've always liked the sound of your name. It's unique. However I never thought I would be able to just call you by it, Levi."
I smiled for the first time in what felt like forever. "I want to ask you out on a date but I remember that you said you wanted to capture the moment before you; so is it okay if you teach me how to paint in the process of finishing one of your own?"
(Your name) flashed her teeth in her new found smile as she nodded. "I would love to."
