To the Moon and Back (A modern Eremika fanfic)

Chapter 22: Tying Loose Ends

Mikasa's POV:
I couldn't believe what I saw in front of me. Levi and Petra were standing right in front of us with both heads looking at their feet. They looked almost ashamed of themselves, avoiding looking at the two of us. I looked to my left to see Eren nervously smiling. This was his surprise. I didn't know if I should slap him or hug him, I just had no clue how to feel about it.

Eren: "M-Mika?" he said shakingly.

Mikasa: "W-Why are they here?"

Eren: "Annie and I met with Levi and asked him to see you. I didn't know he'd actually be here let alone with Petra."

Petra: "Hi Mikasa."

I turned to see the ginger looking up at me with a faint smile. She has never been so innocent and friendly with me. She'd always be distant from me or even ignore me, this was new.

Eren: "Go Mika," he said smiling, "I'll be right next to you."

I grabbed his hand and walked up to the pair. Eren could tell I was nervous because he proceeded to squeeze my hand a bit which actually helped. We finally reached the two and Levi finally looked up to us.

Levi: "Let's go home?"

After getting out of the car, we walked into the house. I left to change into more comfortable clothes, while Eren, Levi, and Petra sat in the living room. My parents went to get dinner, so they weren't home. After putting on some shorts and one of Eren's hoddies he gave me, I walked back into the living room. It was completely silent to the point you can hear a pin drop. Eren looked back and gave me a small smile. He was blushing a bit. He always does when I wear his clothes. I walked a bit further and sat down beside Eren. Levi and Petra were on the love seat on the other side. It was still silent till Eren spoke up.

Eren: "Levi? Do you have something to say?"

I looked over to see Levi muttering to himself. He finally looked up and I could see the tears forming in his eyes. I could feel my own tears coming, trying my hardest to hold them back. I looked back and saw him take a deep breath.

Levi: "Well... I... actually we... want to make things better Mikasa. Of course for your sake, but also... ours."

I decided to stay quiet, I couldn't truly trust him, not yet.

Levi: "You don't have to say anything, but we'd like for you to listen to us... well to Petra."

I looked over to see the ginger with tears herself.

Petra: "I... I'm going to be honest Mikasa... I don't know what to say. So what I'm about to say is basically all I'm feeling without filters or stupid mind-editing." (A/N: How I write my stories:,))

Petra: "...I'm so sorry. I took Levi away from you because I love him. I wanted him all myself and I took him away from his own family. From his own cousin. I've been such a bitch to you, to your parents, to even Levi and I'm so sorry. I'm probably going to say that like 10 times more, but it's how I truly feel. I understand if nothing is going to be fixed today, but I really hope we can fix it one day. I want to make things right with Levi and you, but also you and me. It took me so long to realize that I'm not the only thing that makes Levi happy. I wanted to see that I was, the one and only thing that made him happy, but that was unfair. Unfair to him and unfair to you. I also want you to understand that I truly love Levi, he makes my world complete, but he can't do that if he's not truly happy. I'm so sorry it took me so long to realize how much you mean to him. I'm sorry."

She said all that in one breath and was basically gasping for air. It took me a minute for it to all sink into me. Processing every word that came out of her mouth. She... she was being genuine. My doubt was creeping up, but I decided to push it down. I'm going to put all my hope into her being true. To hope that I can actually have Levi again.
