New Beginnings

Chapter 4- Levi

Chapter 4-

I missed you big bro

-

Hurry.

Levi stared down at the last text on his screen. Erwin had seriously been on him about this charity deal. But if Levi was going to do this he was going to do it right. However he didnt expect who the owners of the shelter ended up being. Looking up at his desktop he stared down the two names on his screen. Hed spent the last week trying to find the right words, but at this point he doesnt think there are enough words in the English language to describe the way these two made him feel. He tries so hard to act like he feels nothing but in reality he feels too much. He has no way to know if it's more or less than the average person does but to him it feels like a flurry of ice and fire mixing in the core of his heart and mind fighting each other with every breath to come out on top. All he could do was sit and wait for the day that the clashing feelings and thoughts would explode from his being.

Staring at these names it felt like that day would be soon.

Dear Mrs. and Mr. Church,

What should he say?!

Been awhile huh-

Delete. Delete. Delete.

Who knows! Maybe this isnt the Isabel and Furlan he knew all those years ago! Honestly, calm down Levi. Even if it is them you didnt do anything wrong. Chiding himself he took a breath and set his fingers down on the keyboard. He made sure to align his hands properly like he always does, pointer fingers on F and J, and began to type.

Hello, this is Levi Ackerman with Survey-Corp. I would like to request that if at all possible, I could come visit your establishment. We have been donating to your shelter for many years and would like to finally make a very late visit to meet you and the brats-

Crap, cant call them that.. Professional Levi. Be professional.

-you and the youth in your care. Ill keep this short and honest. The owner feels the public doesnt trust me and wanted me to get involved with our many charities, yours however was the only one that hit home and I felt like I could actually do something. I wont go into details but I really could have used a place like yours years ago. Having said this I hope you both will allow me to visit and get to know your work. If I do this I do hope I could also use any publicity Mr.Smith makes from this to spread awareness of the shelter and hopefully help pull in donations. Hoping to hear from you soon.

Sincerely, Levi Ackerman

With furrowed brows he read over the email multiple times before finally sending it. He sent a quick message to Erwin saying he sent the email before putting away his phone and grabbing the paper work for an investment meeting coming up.

Doing his best to forget about the email he sent earlier that day Levi went about his day, entering meetings and reading reports, eventually he managed to block the potential visit from his mind. Going about the tedious work and only managing to fire two interns along the way. Wiggling the mouse on his desk he wakes up his computer, he goes to open a document he meant to print that morning only to hear a familiar but startling ding come from the speakers attached to the bottom of his desk. Habitually glancing down to the bottom right corner his eyes quickly skim the notification, noting the small image of mail on the side he checks the name of the person emailing him. Stiffening with the recognition filling him he quickly slides the mouse over and opens the notification.
