Levi Ackerman had never wanted a wife. And knowing the reputation of Humanity's Strongest Soldier, you certainly never wanted to become his.
But when your father makes your hand in marriage the price of his support for the new government, neither of you is given much of a choice.
To Levi, the solution is simple: treat the marriage like any other assignment. Give you his name, his house, keep you safe, and ask for nothing in return. But somewhere between expeditions, quiet cups of tea, and learning to read each other's silences, the arrangement begins to become something neither of you was prepared for.
After all, Levi Ackerman had always been good at surviving. He'd just never had someone to come home to before.
