Promise me [Levi Ackerman x OC]

LVII: Selfish

The sun was about to set in the horizon, the sky was reddish pink, the wind was starting to chill making Hazel to shrug. On top of wall Maria, she was looking to the vast lands before her without spotting any titan, just peace.

With her legs hanging from the edge and her arms extended behind her, she supported her weight on her hands and looked up at the sky with was turning dark and a few stars were already out.

"Isn't it amazing?"

"Hmm?" Hazel thought she was alone, so she startled a bit. She turned her head to find Declan beside her in the same position looking back at her with a warm smile. "Hey." She said in a low voice with her heart racing by seeing him.

"It's being a long time, right?" He scoffed then looked to the sky in a relaxed way.

"Yeah..." She sighed remembering the last time she had a vivid dream like this with her brother, it was before she left the underground city almost Declan's birthday when she felt something wrong had happened to him. "I miss you." Hazel came closer him so he could embrace her with his arm, laying her body against him.

"You shouldn't. You have grown your family. There are a lot of people who care for you." She nodded in agreement and they stayed like that for a few minutes before he broke the silence between them. "You have a decision to make, what have you thought about it?"

"I don't know if prolongate my life would be selfish. My body feel so tired... with the transformation I would be finally cure, but I don't know how the others would take this."

"Maybe it's time to be selfish, you've been putting others before you always."

Hazel scoffed. "Look who says it."

"I know." He growled. "But, Haze, the only reason I would've took the chance of prolonging my life would have been to see you again. You want to change the world, and that's why you are a good choice for Dr. Grisha. But, if you give it a thought, you have change the world, not like you would want it, but you have changed some people's life. Starting with Hange, you were her first real friend and she's so grateful to you. Erwin, he learned to trust in people after being betrayed by his former best friend, and he sees you like a little sister, which I don't approve because I am your only big brother, but it's okay because he have protected you several times and made you grow your skills. Eren, he idolizes you, he wants to be like you. Dr. Grisha and Carla, they care so much for you like a daughter. Even, the little Mikasa loves you, she have being through a rough moment, that your kindness reminds her of her mother. Of course you know, but let's talk about Levi. The angel who save you, he believes that it was backwards. You gave it a place to call home and a family, warmed his heart again, you've never left him."

"But I will, everybody lefts eventually." Hazel was crying so hard soaking his shirt. "I would take the risk just to be with him a bit more, he doesn't deserve to be left again."

Declan stroke her hair waiting a moment. "Levi has known all the time this would happen. When he came out the underground, he didn't though you would be alive. Besides, you know how strong he is, even though he denies it. I can go on and on with the list of people who cares and loves you. In fact, you have visitors."

Hazel wiped his swollen face, and looked up to him puzzled. He pointed with his eyes to the other side of her. She turned her face and found Furlan sat beside her with a grin and the cute Isabel next to him with the same expression. "Guys... I wish I had been there to do something different." Squeezing his friend's hand.

With casual and cheery voice Furlan answered. "Oh, Hazel, you did warned us on time, but you know how we liked to disobey higher ups."

"We came quickly to say hi and thank you." Isabel smiled wider and stood taking Furlan's hand to help him.
