He is worn-out, dull and dreary, and just needs a bit of a spark to keep him afloat in a new type of world that is moving too fast. But he finds it so unbearably hard when the woman he loves is living across the sea.
That is, until, you open up your cozy flower shop next door.
Navigating love and life is hard enough, but with their new hometown in the deep end of a recession following the calamity of the Rumbling, fueding sides test their patience to stay put, and even their relationship.

Captain Levi Ackerman is known for his cold, calculating demeanor and unwavering commitment to the fight for humanity's survival. To him, there's no room for distractions, least of all a soldier like you. From the very first day you joined the Survey Corps, you've been at odds with him, constantly clashing over your different approaches to combat, discipline, and even life itself. His sharp tongue and indifferent attitude make it clear: you're nothing but a nuisance.
But as the days pass, something begins to shift. Behind your fiery exchanges and disdain for one another, there's an undeniable tension simmering beneath the surface-a bond neither of you can fully ignore. As the two of you are forced to work together, surviving the horrors of the Titans and navigating the perils of war, something unexpected happens: the hatred turns into something deeper, something neither of you can deny.
However, your troubled past refuses to stay buried. Secrets once hidden in the shadows come to light, shaking the foundation of your fragile relationship. Levi, ever the stoic figure, must now confront the darkness that haunts you, all while grappling with his own emotions that he's spent years suppressing.
In a world where trust is a rare commodity and love can feel like a weakness, can Levi and you find solace in each other's arms? Or will the weight of your past be too heavy to carry together?
