Levi's a man of few words. Most assume when Petra says that, she means he's stoic and antisocial. And while these things aren't entirely untrue, she's not saying he never talks.

In fact for a man like him he talks a lot: of the weather, new strategies, mindless chatter to fill up the hours. She knows he's self-conscious about many of his traits, so he works harder than most assume to connect with the squad.

Despite all this, he spoke few words of importance. When matters of importance were concerned, it'd be easier killing a titan then getting him to open his mouth.

But in the dark dreaminess of the night, when his lips hover ever so slightly over her collarbone, Petra hears three words.

"I love you." As soon as they are spat out, they are we replaced with a flurry of butterfly kisses, traveling down the rest of her body.

And even though he can't see her face at the moment, Petra smiles.
