Levi Oneshots

We're Finally Even, Erwin.

Levi's POV

I was carrying a heavy body as we went back to HQ with a solemn heart. The battle to retake wall Maria was over. Without the lifeless commander over my shoulders, none would have made it back. We not only took back Wall maria but also stole the Colossal Titan's powers. The cost? More than a hundred soldiers, this man, Armin's lifespan......tch. But worst of all, I have an unfulfilled promise. To kill that beast titan. There is so much guilt.

I walked into my room. Even though I don't use it at all for sleeping, I still clean it like crazy. I lay Erwin on my bed and put my cloak over him. Then I put some flowers in the vase beside the bed. I chose Stars Of Bethlehem. It meant that we were finally even. 

Since I entered the survey corps, I always tried to surpass you. You were so mysterious and intelligent, I could never guess what you were thinking. That was what probably made me want to read more. We also had such a deep trust, I don't even know anymore. So many times, I thought that your death would be so easy to get over with. You were so charismatic, making everyone like you. But now you are gone, and I have no clue what to do. I can't believe there was a time I wanted to kill you. I feel shocked, disappointed. This man...Erwin...he couldn't abandon his dreams even though he can abandon his humanity.

I sank to the bedside and held Erwin's hand, eyes shining with tears. " Erwin, if it means you can rest in peace, I won't regret it. I still remember your first advice to me. Erwin, thank you. You pulled me out of hell became my hope. Sorry, you can't see the ocean, but I want to tell you your father's theory was true after all. You don't have to fight anymore. When we visit the ocean in 2 months, I will imagine you with them, replacing Armin. This is it, huh? I guess I can't follow you anymore, but I will follow your cause. I still trust you."

That moment, I realised. Was Erwin my ackerbond? Never mind, it is too late. Then how come I did not protect Erwin as much as Mikasa protected Eren? Of course, because Erwin was so strong and capable he didn't need it, unlike that brat Eren.

"Oi, Erwin, you are dirtying the sheets with your blood. These are newly changed, can't you at least be hygenic?" But Erwin's blood wasn't the only thing dirtying the bedsheets. So were Levi's tears. "Erwin, I'll miss your weird-ass smile, your ugly bolo tie, and everything else! For now, I and Hanji are going to wait for that day we meet you again."

2 Months Later

We just saw the sea. Really impressive. It was just like how Eren and Armin described it. A large body of saltwater. I am particularly eyeing 2 people: Armin and four-eyes. Four-eyes because, well, I have this feeling that she WILL touch something poisonous.Tch, how annoying.Armin because he has the same eyes as you. I bet if your reactions would have been similar. I am only thinking about your eyes, they are the same as the ocean. So vast, I can't tell what was on your mind. Right now, your ashes are in my place. They needed someone of importance to you to keep your ashes and your skull.

Erwin, me and Hanji really miss you. Dead is dead, but can you please, for once, just come to our dreams and pay us a visit?
