(y/n)'s house
and just like that, without explanations, without closure, your father vanished again, receding out of your life as easily as he'd forced his way back into it. shame might've chased him off. fear, too. or something uglier. you didn't know, and truthfully, you weren't sure you wanted to.
but levi was there.
he didn't prod for context or drown you in empty consolation. he simply stayed, filling the spaces where grief and confusion liked to nest. and, little by little, the fringes of your thoughts dulled.
then, before you knew it, february 14th arrived.
you hadn't given much thought to valentine's day. between exams closing in and the mess with your father, there hadn't been time to. besides, levi ackerman was not a man known for pageantry. his idea of romance was making sure you ate something other than heartache and matcha.
which was exactly why you weren't prepared for the sight that met you when you stepped outside.
he stood at the foot of your steps, hands buried in his coat pockets, not wanting you to realise that he'd been standing there rehearsing this in his head like it was a courtroom opening statement. he looked the way he always did: devastatingly put-together without trying. and yet there was something different—a subtle change, like he'd adjusted a detail or two purely because he wanted you to notice.
in one hand, held a touch too tightly, was a bouquet of white tulips.
you stopped short, startled."levi?!"
he exhaled as though bracing for your reaction, then held the bouquet out with a stiff, almost defiant sincerity.
"it's for you," he revealed, eyes darting away."since...it's valentines day."
you smiled shyly. not because it was funny, but because it was somewhat perfect. because levi, your levi, had gone out of his way for this, like he'd decided you deserved something gentle even if he had to fight his own pride to deliver it.
