we met in a café

Memories

Levi's POV

Mikasa's words kept replaying in my head, did she think I didn't know that? Of course I do know that if I were stronger they wouldn't have died!

"Umm Levi are you crying?" I looked up at the person who I recognised to be Eren. Tears? Was I crying? I touched my face. I was crying, I didn't even realise!

"Uh, yeah I'm fine. Don't worry about it. How is your brother?"

"He's fine, just a broken bone, sorry about him attacking you. I don't know why he would do that."

"It's fine he was probably doing it for his pride." This conversation is so awkward! "Well uh, bye Eren."

"Bye Levi."

I entered my house and collapsed on the sofa, I wonder what Isabel and Furlan are doing right now.

Flashback

"Levi-bro, Furlan there's a fair happening this weekend, can we go?" Isabel said as she came into the room. Me and Furlan looked at each other, I raised my eyebrow and Furlan nodded.

"Yeah sure knock yourself out."

"Really?" Isabel looked at us, her eyes sparkling, we nodded and Isabel came running at us. She was about to hug me but I moved to the side so she just went to Furlan instead, turning as red as a tomato when she did it. At this point it was annoying me. They obviously liked each other so I don't get why neither have confessed. But I'm guessing that they're either oblivious as hell or they're wimps.

It was the next day and we were at the fair, there were lights everywhere and it was crowded. There were a load of different stalls lining the streets.

"I'm going to ride that, I'll be back later. Have fun."

"Wait what-"

"Bye!" I said as I walked off, I don't even know where I'm going but those two lovebirds needed a bit of a push.

It had been a couple of hours since I had left Furlan and Isabel so if they haven't got together by now I'm probably going to punch them. I was heading back to where I first left them when suddenly. BANG! A bomb went off, everyone was screaming and running in the other direction but I couldn't, I needed to find Isabel and Furlan. I need to know they're safe! "Ow." I had tripped over something. I opened my eyes and gasped. Isabel's dead body lay in front of me, I turned trying to find Furlan, hoping at least he was alive. Instead I turned to find his body in half obviously dead. I wanted to cry but I couldn't. The tears wouldn't come out. I wanted to scream out but the words wouldn't come. It was my fault, if I had nether left they wouldn't have died, if I stayed this wouldn't be happening right now.

It felt like everything had just crumbled right before my eyes, but I guess everyone leaves eventually. That's what I wanted to think but I couldn't. No matter how I looked at it the whole situation was my fault.

I should leave. I don't know when another bomb will go off and I don't think that Isabel and Furlan would be happy if I showed up in heaven with them.

End of flashback

After the whole incident I had never been the same. Now that they had died there was (and still) is a huge whole in my life. Every now and then I'm reminded by memories of times we spent together. It took a while but I made a 'full recovery' or at least that's what it seemed like to everyone else but that wasn't true. However I don't show it, in fact the only feelings I've felt since their death are annoyance, anger and sadness. Until recently that was.

That blond guy from the café now lives rent free in my head and it annoys me. I've realised the fact that I have a crush on him but, I want to get rid of it immediately. I had one previous relationship before and that didn't end up well so I don't bother with them anymore. "I need tea," I muttered as I got off the couch and walked into the kitchen. I checked my phone for the time, it was 11:41. "Where the fuck is Mikasa?" I thought aloud as I looked at the door and just as I was about to call her the doorbell rang.
