"HI LEVI!" Y/N greeted their fellow captain as he sat in the dining hall with a cup of hot tea in his hand.

"winter is coming soon so i made... this!" y/n revealed a purple scarf they had hand knitted months prior. "ta-daaaa! i made it for you! what'd you think?"

they slid the article of clothing over to levi who merely inspected it from his sitting position. the same stoic face he stared at them with also stared at the purple cloth.

"purple dye is really expensive so i decided to make my own dye with purple flowers." y/n proudly huffed their chest, proud of their creation.

"it looks gross." levi finally spoke, taking a sip of his tea.

"uh, well that's mean. i spend months working on this!"
y/n pouted and crossed their arms.

truth was, they were a bit hurt at levi's blunt words. maybe it was just his straight forward demeanor but considering that they really looked up to him, those words hurt.

"you can keep that. i don't want that filth hanging around my neck." levi stood up and sauntered back to his office leaving his subordinate behind.

y/n stared at the scarf they made before weakly taking it in their hold and returning back to their room with a crack in their heart.
