It was another sleepless night, the third time in a row. Levi knew there wasn't a chance in hell of him sleeping that night. This probably happened more often than not and Levi was at the point of not caring. Why should he? He was an adult, no one could tell him what he could or couldn't do anymore. No one could tell him that he shouldn't spend the whole night on tumblr. Which was exactly what he had done for the past three nights, scrolling through the blog of probably the most amazing person in the world, well in Levis opinion at least. He would never admit that he had been stalking the poor kids blog for weeks now, building up the confidence to send a simple "hi". Confidence that he never found.

It was absurd, Levi didn't even have a tumblr blog, he had no idea why he was so nervous. But he was. For the first time in his life Levi Ackerman was nervous, because that brat had the brightest eyes, and a smile that could light up the world, and his arm around a pretty Asian girl. That was his downfall. The kid had his arm around someone else in his avatar, and Levi had no idea if it was a girlfriend or not. She was pretty, and tall, and Levi doubted he could compare. He was short, had a constant scowl and the bags under his eyes refused to leave. He made horrible jokes and was never good in social situations and he'd probably never be good enough to be that brats friend, or more.

He closed his laptop with a sigh, getting up from his chair and moving to the kitchen, yanking the fridge open he grabbed a half empty bottle of wine. Pouring himself a glass he sipped it carefully, watching the clock. It was barely past 3 am, much to Levi's dismay. He had work in the morning, and knew he wasn't going to sleep, which means he had nothing to pass the time. Except maybe stalking that brats blog again.

Levi shook his head, that'd be bordering on insane, even for him. He didn't even know if the brat was legal!  Yet he always seemed to return to that blog, night after night. He didn't even have an interest in the content. It was all photography, pictures of birds and scenery. Stuff Levi didn't give two shits about. Once again he opened his laptop, cursing himself for being too weak to resist the pull of that shitty photography blog. Once again, for maybe the tenth time that week he opened the ask box, and started typing,

"hi.. I'm Levi. I really like your blog" DELETE. Delete delete delete. Start again,

"yo. I'm Levi. You're really cool, want to be friends?" DELETE. Delete delete delete. That didn't even sound like him? Start again,

"You're hot. Let's get together sometime." Levi stared at the message, it was what he wanted to say, but he knew it wouldn't go over well. Delete, once again. He sighed heavily, taking a few more sips of his wine before trying again.

"What area do you live in?" That was too creepy, delete. Start over,

"What's your name?" Still a bit creepy. Levi chugged the rest of his wine, wishing he just knew how to send a simple message. Getting up Levi grabbed himself another glass of wine, siping it carefully but quickly. A total of four glasses of wine and Levi sat down at the desk once again, he squinted at the screen, deciding to try one last time before giving up.

"What's your name? Mines Levi. I think you're a good picture taker. We should see each other sometime." Send was hit before Levi even realized what he had done.

"No..." He whispered out loud, staring at the screen "I.. I didn't just do that." He pulled up Google in an instant, trying to figure out how to unsend the message. He had to figure out how to unsend that goddamn message! When his search results yeilded nothing Levi slammed his lap top shut, slumping over the desk, wishing his life was over.
