LEVI POV
Levi's eyes narrowed, his mind reeling in bewilderment. What had possessed him? He'd never been one to indulge in petty debates, yet he'd gone toe-to-toe with that stranger. And then, fate's cruel joke - she reappeared, and he found himself ensnared in her turmoil.
Every time he gazed at (y/n), something shifted within him. The familiar armor of indifference cracked, revealing a glimmer of empathy. He'd always prided himself on not giving a damn, on being untouchable. Yet, here he was, investing time and energy into this fragile, fiery woman.
The memory of her expression lingered, refusing to be shaken. Those eyes, like shattered glass, reflecting the depths of her pain. Levi's gut twisted, a foreign sensation stirring within him.
For the first time in years, he felt the weight of another's burden. Felt the urge to shield, to protect. The realization unsettled him, like an uninvited guest in his mind.
Levi's thoughts swirled, a maelstrom of conflicting emotions. He'd always navigated life with a detached air, observing rather than participating. But (y/n)'s presence disrupted his carefully crafted equilibrium.
As he watched her stand tall, despite the tremors beneath her surface, Levi knew he was in uncharted territory. The boundaries he'd erected around himself were crumbling, and he couldn't summon the will to repair them.
Levi's gaze drifted out the window, lost in the star-studded canvas above.
His office chair creaked softly as he reclined, his mind miles away. Memories of (y/n)'s fragile smile lingered, the faint bruises on her skin etched in his mind like a grim reminder.
"Levi, I brought you some tea." Hange set the steaming cup on his desk.
Levi's focus remained on the stars, his thoughts consumed by (y/n)'s haunted eyes.
