kiss from a corpse ♡︎ereri/riren♡︎

₊˚๑ ༄ you can't get rid of me that easily

[cringey effort on trying to make an angst chapter up ahead- i've warned y'all so- be prepared, shawties]

✧ LEVI'S POV ✧

the thing i hate most about being a literal zombie is the fact that my bones keep dislocating. i should be used to it by now but it still irritates the hell out of me. after rearranging my body to its proper form, i searched the area for a certain human. i saw a glimpse of turquoise in the corner of my eye and i whipped my head to its direction. 

there he is. 

his eyes widen, and so did two more pairs of eyes. i scrunched up my nose at the sight of a particular female i didn't want to see. ever. 

"oh.. you're here" i said in a salty tone and 'mikasa', i think that's her name, knew i was talking about her. "levi? levi! what are you doing here?" eren ran up to me and hugged me. i pushed him away and his expression sadden a bit. "what? if you think its uncomfortable for me to hug you because of your bones then you're wrong" not going to lie, that made me laugh on the inside. 

"its not that, dumbass. give me your hand" 

"why though?" 

"just give me your hand, brat" 

he did and i took it, slipping something which he quickly gripped onto. without even looking at what i gave him, his eyes widen. "why?..." his question only consists of one word but i completely understand it. "i.. want to let go, move on" 

"is this ring stopping you from doing so?"

"i suppose" 

✧ EREN'S POV ✧

my heart is breaking in ways i can't even describe nor understand. i noticed black butterflies coming our way. first there were only 2.. then 3.. 6.. 10... i lost count. levi didn't seem to mind the fluttering insects around him. 

"eren"

his voice detached me from my now racing thoughts. 

"it's like from your song, even if i don't exactly know in which life, i'll still choose you. in whichever lifetime, i'll still try my best to find you. i'm willing to give my heart to you, figuratively or literally" 

his words couldn't help but made me slid a tiny smile on my face, and he did the same. 

"but for this life, it's just not right, so there's only one thing i ask from you.." 

"yeah...?" 

"live a proper life for me" 

without warning my tears streamed down my cheeks. "but how can i?" woah, i didn't stutter while crying for once. "try to? please?" i can feel my tears dripping off my face and onto the ground. 

well at least the soil got some water. 

"i... i don't know, levi..." 

the amount of butterflies doubled and i was starting to get annoyed. why so many? what are they doing anyway? why are they only surrounding levi? "oh.. i have to go" again, his voice stopped my train of thoughts. "what?" was he going back down there? he gestured towards the insane amount of butterflies on him and noted, "the best i have is about 3 minutes" 

"huh?.." negative thoughts couldn't help but successfully breach my mind. "now, remember what i said, its an order" he cupped my face with both his hands and gave me a disheartened smile. 

"levi..." 

"hm?" 

"whats.. whats happening to your legs?.." 

levi smiled again. that same heavy-hearted smile i hate seeing from him. "2 minutes" he breathed out. at this point i think my brain stopped functioning. i can't understand this.. this situation.. whatever kind of situation this is. i felt levi's touch leave my cheeks but his hands never lowered down. i look down to see his hands slowly disappearing. i finally grasped onto what the ever loving fuck was happening, and, like the moron i am, attempted to grab levi's hands only to feel my soaked cheeks instead. 

"no.. wait.. please.. no.. don't.." i clutched onto levi's shoulder, witnessing his lower body gradually fade away. "forgive me, eren.. but it's for the best" levi removed my hands from his shoulder. "i don't like this 'best'" i argued but he gently shushed me. 

"it was a pleasure knowing you too" 

every inch of my body was shaking uncontrollably, i don't want you to leave. i don't want to lose you. i don't want to continue living my life if you're not in it. my attention immediately went back to levi. "listen to these three words carefully, i love you" 

i can't handle this. i glanced back at annie and mikasa, their faces filled with sympathy. they gave me a nod, telling me to do whatever i want. do whatever feels right in my heart. i was only a few steps away from levi so i did the first thing that came to my head. i ran into the swarming butterflies. 

darkness consumed me. 

"EREN" 

someone shouting my name was enough for me to regain my consciousness. levi was sat infront of me, mixed expressions on his face. it was like, anger, relief, happiness, and a dash of sadness combined. "what the fuck were you thinking? do you realize what you have done?" he continued on and on, scolding me like i'm a teenage girl who was out wayyy late and he's the parent. 

"shut up" 

"excuse mcfucking me?" he remarked in an offended yet staggered tone. 

"you never gave me the chance to repeat those three words to you, you cruel bastard" 

"i.. that's not the fucking problem right now, eren.." 

"oh? and what is?" 

"eren look at yourself, you're fucking decomposing. you're becoming like me.. dead.."
