LEVI ACKERMAN || snk ep. 65

• If it’s been a long day training Mike would prefer to lounge around after getting cleaned up from the day. Sometimes he likes a quick nap before dinner, other times he likes it when his s/o reads to him with his head in their lap. If they have the day off, he’d be up for a trip to town for some minor shopping, or maybe a easy trail ride together.

• Literally. Everything. The first thing that caught his eye was the way they interacted with their fellow soldiers. After that he started to notice the small physical details. How their eyes lite up when they were excited, the playful grin when they joked around. The blush on their cheeks when they were flustered.

• Mike is incredibly sensitive to how others are feeling, when he feels something is off with his s/o he’ll straight up ask them what they need of him. If they need to be left alone, he’ll find something to occupy his time. When they just want to be held, he’s more than willingly to cradle and protect. Mike is a quiet guy but if they need a distraction he’ll gladly babble on about whatever nonsense he can think up.

• Once all this mess is done and over with he would love a cabin somewhere semi remote. After living with other people for so long he would be over the moon so have space for him and his s/o. Maybe kids? The idea is nice but as long as he’s with his love, the finer details of the future doesn’t concern him.

• Mike is a naturally passive person in general, but he will let his s/o if something is going on that bothers him, or if he enjoys a certain aspect of their relationship. His partner is definitely his equal and he would never look down on their opinions unless they were harmful.

• It would depend on the severity of the situation. If they’re fighting over something silly he doesn’t even get mad in the first place, he’ll just let them rant until they realize how ridiculous the whole thing is. But if it’s a big explosion of a fight he’s going to walk away. Mike would calmly explain he needs a few hours away from them before going, no matter how angry he is he doesn’t want them to worry. When the smoke has settled he’d want to reconcile as soon as his partner is ready. He always keeps a level head about things.

• It amazes Mike each morning when he wakes up that he’s lucky enough to have this deep connection with another person. He’s always aware at the lengths his s/o does and will go for him. And he plans to show them how grateful he is for as long as he has to live

• There’s really no hiding from Mike given his heightened sense of smell. But that doesn’t mean he’s going to make you purge all of your secrets. He’s a patient man and would rather his s/o trust him and come around on their own. Everyone has their reasons for the things they do. As long as those secrets won’t hurt their relationship, he’s fine.

• Mikes happier. He was pretty content to begin with but now it’s noticeable. He smiles more and engages in conversations. He’s still not a big talker but will joke around a bit more here and there. Who knew, besides his s/o and Erwin, Mike could be so dang funny??

• Mike wouldn’t get any more jealous than maybe the average person. When the relationship is new he’s more watchful. But once they’re a solid pair he has no doubts. Would even find it a little entertaining to find someone flirting with his s/o. He’s a big dude after all, the only thing he would need to do is approach his partner and sling a arm around their waist, that gets the message across loud and clear.

• Mikes had enough experience to be decent. He adapts to what his s/o likes and once he does, his kisses leave nothing to be desired. The first kiss was slow a sweet, a little eager maybe but that just all more better.

• He’d wait and take them somewhere they could be alone. He’s a little nervous but would know when the right time to drop that bomb would be. Cuddling with a simple whispered “I love you” under the stars is pretty great.

• Without a doubt. This big boy is ready to settle down as soon as his s/o is. Mike wouldn’t want something big and flashy. Nah, he’d wait until after a love making sesh, with his s/os head on his chest and they’re fingers intertwined he’d do it. He would never pressure them into anything ever so it might take him a looooong time to pop the question, Mike just wants to be sure it’s something his love wants too. He doesn’t to put them in a awkward position.

• Mostly classic things. Hun, babe, sweetheart. He’d use inside joke nicknames when they’re alone.

• Mikes a pretty private person so outside of Erwin, Levi, and possibly Hanji no one would really have a clue until the couple is ready to go “public”. Mike expresses his feelings in little everyday things. He knows how to make their coffee or tea the way they like it, if he’s up first he’ll make a pot for them. He loves giving them back rubs after training, he’s almost giddy knowing he’s the one pulling the moans of relaxation out of his s/o. If he has to stay up late and work on reports he’ll tuck his partner into bed and make sure they have everything they need before he even thinks about starting on that stack of paperwork. He’s just a very attentive boyfriend/husband.

• During work hours absolutely not. He has things he needs to concentrate on and so does his partner. But if they go out with a group to a pub in town he’s not above plopping his s/o on his lap and holding them close. He wouldn’t go overboard with PDA, Mike is respectful of others, but he’d sneak in a few quick kisses here and there. He loves to hold their hand everywhere they go. He’s not overly touchy feely, but he loves the feeling of their hand in his.

• That nose of his is more beneficial than just being able to smell titans. He can gage what kind of mood his s/o is in almost instantly and that’s proved to be useful on more than one occasion.

• Mike can be pretty cliche at the beginning of the relationship. He’ll make sure to pay special attention to what his partner does and does not like and will get creative from there. He would do anything in his power to make his s/o happy.

• Without a doubt. Mike is like their personal cheerleader. He will always listen to what his s/o has to say. If they hit a bump in their plans, he’ll appear like a genie to help them out in evey way he can. Mike would never doubt his partner for a minute. They’re the greatest person ever after all.

• Mike is very much a go with the flow kind of man. Routines are nice because they’re stable, which is something he appreciates greatly. But he’s not a boring geezer, life is about living, and what’s living without some adventure? Hes relaxed enough to go with almost anything his s/o wants. Mike isn’t a pushover by any means, but he’s willing to try almost anything at least once.

• He’s probably one of, if not the, most empathetic person in the scouts. It’s hard not to be with such hyped senses. But even without that bloodhound nose, Mike is just a good person all around. He fits into the scouts so well because of that empathy, the whole reason the branch exists is to save people. Mike knows his partner very well. If he’s serious about the relationship lasting he’s going to want to know everything about them that they’re willing to teach him.

• The only thing Mike puts above his s/o is his job. Saving humanity is #1 on his list. It has to be. If the goal is lost, that means there’s no hope or future for either one of them, and he’ll be damned if that’s going to happen. This relationship means everything to Mike, he’ll never be ready to see it done without them being able to blossom together to their full potential.

• Mike. Is. A. Tickle. Monster. He lives to hear his s/o laugh and will tickle them any chance he gets so he can hear the sweet sound of their laughter. The best part is being able to calm them down with gentle kisses to their face and neck when they run out of breath.

• His favorite part of the day is at the end. When they’re relaxed together in bed and he can hold them close, knowing that at least in that moment they’re safe and he can protect them. If Mike is the big spoon he won’t be able to resist littering their back, neck, and shoulders with light kisses.

• Mike wants to be with his s/o as much as possible, but he knows that’s not always probable. He’s mature enough to be able to handle being away from them for long periods of time. Sometimes it can be upwards of a week depending on what duties they have. Paperwork is never ending for a Squad Leader so he can keep his mind busy. Working out proves a great way to wear him out physically. Spending time with other people, Erwin, Hanji, or his squad is a great alternative too. Though he can handle it with graceful strides, Mike is always ready for his partner to come back into his waiting arms.

• Absolutely. But his partner must be willing to go the distance also. He can’t be with someone who won’t put as much effort into the relationship as he is willing to. Mike would kill and die for his loved ones, especially his s/o.
