On a whim, he stares at you. Stricken with the foreign sensation of anxiety bubbling in his gut. Levi swallows thickly. It was maddening, this sensation. It felt like he had no grip on himself. That was because he didn't. The words that left his mouth, they surprised him; and especially him.

Levi needed to learn that some things were better left unsaid.

You clear your throat.

"Are... are you being serious right now?" you hesitantly ask. He couldn't blame you. Even if the odds of him joking around were null, it outweighed the possibility that he was being serious. The coldhearted, seemingly unsympathetic man, prior to this moment; had spoken heavy words.

Life changing, if they were to be accepted.

"I-"

Levi's mouth felt dry. He looks to the side, the shame finally settling in. It was selfish of him - he knew - but he felt almost angry at you. Why hadn't you denied him? At least he would have some form of closure if you had told him no. But instead, you offered a slow, agonizing torture.

Silence.

So, in your place, he speaks.

"Forget about it," he snaps. His fury is evident in his narrowed eyes. 'Shit, shit, shit,' Levi chants like a mantra in his mind. He pivots on his heels, and begins to walk towards the door. Alarm flashes in your eyes, and they widen.

"W-wait!" you exclaim. He keeps going. You begin to gnaw on your lip. It was a sudden, almost risky decision; but you run in front of him. Levi seems surprise, but it melts into impatience. Not at you, but himself. It wasn't as if you knew that fact though. Your arms are spread wide, in a weak attempt to keep him from leaving.

"You just caught me off guard." you admit, shyness overtaking you. His gaze, serious and unwavering, caused unease to wash over you. Goosebumps dot your body as you shift weight between your feet. Your thoughts are thriving, as you desperately search for a proper response.

Levi taps his feet. Raising an eyebrow, he asks, "Well?"

His fist clench by his side.

"I don't know," you whine in defeat. Levi rolls his eyes, and goes to walk out again. You block his exit.

"Honestly, you can't leave that on me and expect a clear answer right away!"

"This is an order from your superior officer. Let me out, [Last]."

It seems he wasn't paying attention to your desperate calls. His pride was wounded, a terrible feeling for Levi. It didn't compare to the almost unnoticeable look of genuine melancholy in his eyes. He was constantly berating himself in his mind for letting something that made him so vulnerable slip from his mouth.

You look at both sides. Yes, or no. That's all you had to say. Of course, with some other form of clarification. But those two words were the base of what you'd be saying next.

"Levi," you experiment saying his name.

He watches, lips sealed.

What you would say next was all that mattered.

"I... I love you too!"
Day 1 of flower drabble week: carnations. [Meaning: love].
I had a ton of fun playing around with this one! I'm excited for this drabble week to continue, prepare yourselves for an influx of fanfics B))

oh if you're confused, prior to the beginning events of the story, Levi and reader were in a gentle argument thing and he accidentally blurted out that he loved them in the heat of the moment
pls don't mind my need for cheesiness

but yeah this was a rather short drabble
whoops
the others will probably be longer tho

You can find what other fanfics I have planned for drabble week here

As always, I don't own you, or Attack on Titan.
