This was inspired by a post I saw on Pinterest and. I hope you like it :) I swear, these relationship posts are ruining me Ü
Really OOC Levi; eh, I don't care. His perspective. A very informal letter. 'Mistakes' are kind of intended.

To [f/n],
Sorry if you can't read my writing by the way.
This may seem like one of the most gallant gestures ever. Just in case I never tell you-- screw that, I don't think I have ever said anything like this before. Not to this detail anyway.
I love you.
Now stop laughing. I know you are, cut it out.
I don't tell you that enough though. I decided to write this in case you ever needed to see this, or when I'm no longer there.
I love you from your personality to your looks, right down to your quirks. God you have strange quirks though. But hey, they make you you.
I remember you attempting to look tough in front of me, Shit-Glasses and the other superiors, but you tripped over your own feet, trying to lift up a weight or something. That was really awkward on your part anyway. I have never met anyone as clumsy as you were. After I instructed an older and less clumsier soldier take you to the infirmary after injuring yourself - even though you tripped over nothing at all - I heard a small bang, and I turned around to find out you walked into the skirting of a door whilst attempting to open it. At that point, I was even thinking of moving you to a different squad. I didn't want a clumsy-ass on my squad.
But you showed your strength and your passion while fighting. Occasionally I have had to come rescue you, being the clumsy brat you are. But that only happened a couple of times. Three or four, maybe? I mean, you walk into doors, fail to tie your shoes, walk into people shorter than you... Yet you are one of the strongest soldiers I have ever seen.
You are compassionate. Ridiculously so. When people are grieving, you acknowledge their feelings and accepted them. You let them take their time. You offered your company and a friendly hug if needed. You would bring food to those who were to weak or were injured to get their own. You even shared your own food. Even with Sasha. I'm still surprised there is food left at the end of the week. You even put up with me. When, after one expedition, I lost it and was fuming with anger. That night when you needed to talk, I blew up at you and I forgot that you were grieving yourself. You still looked at me as if you understood my complexities. And maybe you already did at the time. But you needed me - well, I knew you needed someone when I found you alone in the Mess Hall - and I still made you even more uncomfortable.
When you attempted make tea for me and the others after being promoted to Vice Captain. It was crap by the way, you should have known that I hate sugar. Do I look like a person who is addicted to sugar?
When you sat with Armin and tried to make him feel better about his insecurities.
When you sat with someone who looked lonely.
When you made dinner but it got stuck at the end of the pot because you left it unattended... Idiot.
When you continued to call into me before retiring for the night. You brought two cups of tea because you knew how I took mine. And we would talk for a bit. Mainly about the obscene amounts of paperwork we superiors receive.
When, after a few years, you told me that you loved me. I remembered all of these little things about you, because I felt the same way. I didn't think I'd find someone in this pigsty of a world, never mind a klutz. "I think I sort of, kind of, in a way love you and I think that, when you aren't in a shitty mood, you're okay to be around." I scoffed and I called you a brat. But I did smile a bit, and your experience with me helped you understand.
But even after all those nights we have spent together, I knew nothing about you...
That night when we were sleeping, I was awakened to find you weeping. No, the rhyme was not intended before you get excited. I noticed that on some nights, sadness and even loneliness so deep consumed you and shook you to the very core. How guilty you sometimes felt for not saving people. How you let your true emotions show. It genuinely surprised me that someone as ridiculously nice as yourself hid all of this. Then again, we have all lost people to the titans... And you know how clumsy I am. When it was Christmas and without any shitty excuse, I flat-out told you that I didn't have anything thoughtful for you. Or when I gave out to you when you spilled the tea which nearly burned you.
I knew that I couldn't afford to be 'me' here. But all I could do was say 'I'm here' or 'There is no need to say sorry'. I pulled you close to me and you cried w bit more until you started playing with my hair... Yes, one of those strange quirks. Or practically an obsession: you love playing with my hair when I'm with you. Yeah, yeah, I cut my own hair, fucking hilarious.
I mean, I just don't know what how.
I am rambling, aren't I? And I swear to God, I will lose it if you show this to anyone. If they ask, I'm still a grump and I don't have it in me to be affectionate, verbally.
If you even read down to here without dying from laughter, well done, because this is downright comical!
Just a few thins before I finish:
- I think you'll probably be so nervous that you'll run out of the room without your veil or one of your shoes. Try to take your time.
- I know you're nervous as hell right now. Before you come into the hall, calm yourself down. Look at something pretty and take a few deep breaths. Everyone gets nervous before their wedding, you and I are no exception.
- You probably look cleaner and less crappier than normal... Take that as a compliment, I haven't seen you in a dress before.See you tomorrow,
Levi.

"I can't believe you only found that now!" her husband exclaimed.
[f/n] had just finished reading the letter and smiled. She even showed it to her two kids.
"Jeez, dad, you're such a sap!" the eldest cried.
"Shut the hell up." Levi replied.

EH? I'll admit it Tia (blindedbyheadlights), that if you ever read this, yes, I was a little bit inspired by your oneshot 'His Letter', so I am very sorry! But I have wanted to write something like this for ages.
