(y/n)'s house

sitting in void with levi on the other end of the call, you half-heartedly flipped through your textbook. words blurred together, sentences slipping through your grasp like sand.

the upcoming exams inched closer, but nothing stuck. nothing could, not with that conversation between you and ymir blasting through your head like a relentless drumbeat.

"i was in love with you, (y/n), and you broke my heart."

you swallowed harshly.

you hadn't known what to say at the time, hadn't even been sure what ymir had wanted you to say. apologies felt empty, explanations felt pointless. the confession had settled deep, heavy in your chest, refusing to dislodge no matter how much you tried to shake it off.

you tapped your highlighter against the paper, pressing the cap down with unnecessary force. you needed a distraction.

hey, brat.

(y/n)
hmm?

you lifted your head, grateful for the interruption.

boyfriend❤️
what are your plans after graduation?

you paused, coming to a shocking actuality.

your future was something you and levi had never discussed before. and for a good reason.

from the start, both of you had been so sure that this, whatever this was, was temporary. a fleeting thing meant to dissolve with time. and yet, somehow, somewhere along the way, the lines blurred. and now, the future didn't feel so certain anymore. not in the way you both thought it would.

(y/n)
well...i'm going to complete my law abitur and then apply to university. i want to specialise in criminal law.
