The word "Beauty" was often used to express to compliment the outside looks for a woman.
Her slim body, beautiful shaved legs, red full lips, long beautiful hair.
Those were most likely some of the most common points for men to describe the word "beauty" in woman.
But for Levi it was different.
Levi didn´t care over such things while they were living in the world they were currently living in. Being at the brink of extinction to the titans everyday. Not knowing if they would survive the next day. The next hour. The next minute.
For Levi beauty was the way her body moved while using her 3DMG. The way she sliced titan after titan during a expedition. Full off passion, fierce, wrath and excitement.
Her loud sometimes screeching laugh, her warm smiles which would make his stomach flip if they were directed to him.
He found it mesmerizing how her body could show so many emotions compared to his stoic mostly expressionless one.
He would find himself sitting with her for hours in his or her room listening to her rambling over her latest discoveries, theories over facinating new plants and animals she discovered while they were taking a break during a expedition. Anything that would come to her mind.
It was another thing of beauty for him how her eyes would shine in the candle light, how her face would flush painting her cheeks pink while she explained all sort of things to him and how it could calm him down and completed his rather quiet personality.
There were other times as well he would find himself adoring her never leaving marks from the straps of her 3DMG while they were lying in bed naked. Her permanent scars telling a story for each and every battle she fought, the tears she shed, what mistakes she did and a forever reminder over all the lives they both couldn´t protect in the process and lost.
Other men would find them inappropriate and say they should get covered probably.
It happened all the time when Erwin would take her with him to one of these balls in Sina to claim some needed funds for her research and other supplies for the Survey corps they needed to exist.
The dress she would wear would always cover her scars while cloves would always cover her rough working hands.
Disappointing. Those were the words Levi would find himself thinking instead of beauty as they stepped into the carriage which would bring them to Sina.
There were many things what would make men turn away from Hanji. Not batting a eye on her labeling her as crazy and unattractive.
But for Levi these were all the things that would make him drawn to her and her special kind of beauty.
