Together, But Not Forever | Eren

Additional : Levi and Y/N's breakup

Ackerman

Eversince I landed my eyes on her, I already fell. It was ridiculous and sickening, who the hell knew that I am going to experience that shit of a love too? None.

At first, I could still stop myself from worrying too much everytime she is out of my sight, I could still stop myself from looking for her everytime she's away and I could still stop myself from being a lovesick motherfucker.

But in the end, I gave my reputation up, and it was worth it. Y/N has always been worth it.

Two years ago, I met her when Erwin brought me with him to train the late Commander's daughter. It was Y/N, and just like me, she lost her parents.

I saw how her eyes shook in anxiety when I held her cold hands for the first time, I felt how she flinched in fear when I wiped her tears from her broken eyes.

That day, I promised that I would help her heal and be strong again. But not numb. No, she shouldn't be like me. I don't want that for her.

So I did help her, I was there for her. Always. In her darkest nights, at times when she feels like everything was too much, at times when her world was shattering, at times when she had breakdowns. I also trained her to be who she is now.

When she finally healed, I told her I loved her. It was cliché and I find myself so ridiculous after saying those three words but again, it was worth it. Who wouldn't love a unique woman like Y/N?

She reciprocated my feelings. She loved me too. We got into a relationship, an almost-perfect one and it was all I could ever ask for. Because Y/N is my everything.

Cliché.

A year passed by and Erwin got me into a higher position, I was glad he did because I loved my job.

I became thrice busier. I didn't know how to manage my time anymore. I only see Y/N two times a month because of it, what should I do?

"You're always away . . ." Y/N said in a low voice as she buried her face in my chest.

I heavily sighed. "I know, I'm sorry."

I heard her sniff. Damn, she's crying. This was the first time she cried because of me. I never wanted to see her tears especially if it was because of me. I held her tighter and kissed her forehead.

"Please don't cry, I'll do something about this, I promise, hmm?" Hange would laugh in my face when she hears me like this. It was so far from the blank-faced Lance Corporal.
