everlasting pain ⤷‧₊˚ levi ackerman

tears

It was like a knife had struck through your heart.

Your e/c eyes widened in horror.

Your face turned pale along with your hands which shook and clenched violently.

Your breathing turned ragged.

"W-what...?"

Opposite from where you were sitting, Erwin sighs with a solemn face.

"I'm afraid so, the attack was too fatal. So going to the village in such rush would be pointless".

Ragako Village.

Was suddenly attacked by titans, wiping out the whole village.

"We will prepare for the expedition to restore the area. We do not know how long this will take, a few weeks, possibly a month, depending on our supplies and the situation at hand".

"But we won't be going anytime soon" Erwin finishes.

The fellow squad leaders nod, some slightly shaken by the news.

You couldn't utter a word.

'Wiping out the whole village'.

Your mother is...

Hange beside you, rubs your arm in comfort.

Not even a tear could escape your eye.

All the letters you sent.

All the loving words exchanged.

When after all, she wasn't safe at all?

---

Your h/c hair blows to the wind, covering your eyesight.

Rain pours down mercilessly.

It was either the rain or tears sliding down your cheeks.

Sitting on a bench outside HQ, you lifelessly gaze at the ground.

You turned as a man sat beside you silently.

Looking at his expression, he showed nothing but empathy.

Levi didn't care about the rain pouring onto his hair and clothes, only the woman beside him.

You both sat there for a moment, listening to the sounds of the pouring rain.

Unexpectedly, he stands and turns to face you in front with a slight blush on his cheeks.

Hesitantly he reaches a hand to you and without thinking you took it and stood in front of him.

Still holding hands.

He then suddenly twirls you. Your hair flows around you spiralling as water drips off the ends.

"Levi...?" you question, dazed.

He softly took your hands and placed them on his shoulders.

Putting his on your waist.

You couldn't help but blush at the gesture.

He then started to move side to side.

Silently swaying to the non-existing, yet beautiful music of the rain.

"I am...so deeply in love with you" he says shyly.

He stares lovingly into your eyes then his gaze turns to your lips.

You're almost lost for words.

His beauty takes your breath away.

"I feel the same" you whisper.

Still swaying, his rare smiles appear.

You adore the sight.

"May I?" he whispers.

You slightly nod, and he leans forward.

With a gentle kiss on the lips, you couldn't ask for anything more.
