Different Sides of the Sea - Levi Ackerman x Reader

chapter 15

Dear Levi,

the last few days with you have been bliss

I have learned a lot about myself
I have also learned that I don't really like black tea, please don't kill me if you ever read this;
you've taught me so much in a short amount of time.

I just hope I make you feel the same way you make me feel
The stars look so pretty tonight, I wonder if you're thinking the same thing in your peaceful slumber.
One day, we'll all have to leave this world and venture off into the beyond. What do you think that's like? Do you think we'll be able to see our friends and family patiently waiting for us?
Can they hear my prayers and wishes?

Is there someone waiting for you on the other side? I'd love to hear stories about them and how you came to know one another. I want to know everything there is to know about you.

This type of love makes me feel soft...and tender. To know that I have been given a home I could set down my things. A blessing to have found you.

Today, we had to pack up the cabin and leave. We cleaned it out, so that it looked like there was no one ever there. I don't know why we had to, but it was a little sad cleaning it out, but we had to move on.

Levi wasn't saying much as we walked towards Trost. He kept his eyes straight on the road in front of him while he guided his beautiful black horse.

I was given an order by Commander Erwin to stand back and wait for him in the Capital of Mitras. He has told me his plan including the Coup D'etat and asked that I stand by if anything were to go wrong.

I immediately started planning for the worst. As I planned things out to eventually save Erwin's ass from being hung in the Capital, I felt guilt rush over me. I know I'm too far into being a savior for these people, but I always humble myself. I'm merely a traitor.

My ears grew hot and I felt like I was going to throw up. I'm fighting an internal battle with my moral conscience. It really only took one hot guy and a short trip to Paradis for me to realize my own faults and how brainwashed I've been into believing Marley's propaganda.

I want to help these Eldian people and believe that my brother was loyal to this place for a reason.

Come to think of it, that bastard Zeke is both a liar and a manipulator. He's good at his games. I'll give him that.

The other part of me wants to go back home to Marley. I miss being with Pieck. I hated being confined to the internment zone and having my every move be watched, but it was home. It was all I knew.

Helping save someone who only wants to know the truth about the walls and protect the people from a fraud government. I had taken a horse to Wall Sina and was granted permission to enter the gates with my government identification.

As I reached the building Erwin was in, I dismounted my horse and gave it to the guards out front to secure it. I positioned myself in the hiding spot that he had instructed me to be at. I had a hood covering my face and a knife strapped to my hip for protection.

After a few hours of waiting, Erwin stepped out of the building with a beat up face and a small limp in his walk.

"(Y/N), there you are. It was a successful Coup. The rightful heir will soon take back the throne."
