➸ YOU WALK DOWN THE HALL WITH —
your suitcase rolling behind you in one hand. You were finally home from your summer long internship and only had a day before school started again. You were a bit tired but ready to see your boyfriend, to get back into your usual routine.
You grab your apartment key and unlock the door slowly since he should be asleep by now. The apartment was dark and quiet which only confirmed your suspicions in your head.
Your suitcase is left by the front door and you kick off your shoes. "Mary Jane." you coo to your dalmatian who ran up to greet you with kiss, "Mommy missed you too." you whisper and scratch behind her ears.
After giving her some love you make way to your bedroom. When you walk in there was a certain smell in the air.
Sex.
Panic raises in you and your hands fumble in the dark to find the light switch. But as soon as the lights come on you regret it with all of your being.
"Holy fuck." you say loudly when seeing your boyfriend of two years in bed with his co worker.
"Y-ou're home early." he pulls out of the woman and moves the blanket to cover himself. You look at the rooms sate. All of her stuff on your bedside table. Clothes tossed on the floor, fucking animals.
"Yeah!" you smile, "I wanted to have a day to spend with you but obviously you haven't been lonely." you look at his co worker, "The crazy thing about this is that I knew." you sigh, sitting on the chair in the corner.
You didn't want to be here by any means but now they were obviously uncomfortable and that made you happy.
"I knew you liked him." you look her in the eyes, "The way your eyes would just fucking sparkle at anything that comes out of this bastards mouth. As if he had the answers for absolutely anything. You're a saint because half of the time he doesn't make any sense."
"I-i'm sor — "
You raise a hand to stop her, "Don't say that. It means nothing because just a minute ago you were taking his dick with no remorse. Own your shit!"
The two watch with wide eyes when you stand up again, exhaling deeply. You had just got off an eight hour plane ride and now you didn't even know where to go from here.
"y/n — " your boyfriend stands up and puts back on his boxers.
You turn to open the door, "Fuck you Reiner."
The door is shut behind you, tears were fighting to come out but you hold them back. You take a deep breath again, feeling lost now. Mary Jane sits and looks at you for a few seconds before walking over and nuzzling into your thigh. You pet her with a shaky hand, you couldn't be here anymore. Not while they're in that room. That room where you and him had sex like animals. Where your biggest fights would happed and then an hour later you two were apologizing to each other in bed.
Now it was the room where he cheated on you. Multiple times.
Mary Jane follows you when you walk back to the door, grabbing your car keys. You look down at her, "Mommy will be back for you. I promise."

You end up at the nearest bar, drink after drink to block out the image of his flushed face and the hickies covering her neck. But it was too late, it was now burned into your mind.
You lean against your hand, the bar was pretty busy but you sat by yourself, circling your finger around the glass rim slowly. Reiner was supposed to be it. You were supposed to live happily ever after him but now the thought makes you gag.
Mid thought Sasha, your friend that was bartending that night placed a glass down. You look at it in confusion, "Huh?"
"From the guy over there." she nods her head and you follow, seeing a blonde who looked friendly. You two met eyes and he leans over to speak.
"Your current one was getting empty."
There were about two chair between you two so you turn to face him, "Thank you.. best part of the night." you laugh weakly and finish the rest of your drink to start on the fresh one. "Sorry where are my manners, y/n." you offer a hand out for him to shake.
"Erwin." he grabs a firm hold but it didn't hurt, as if he was trying to be gentle with your hand.
Just then he turns to look at someone behind him. You look too and see a man who looked to be annoyed while running a hand through his hair.
"Took you long enough." Erwin laughs at his friends expression. The new man takes the seat next to Erwin, being in between you two now. "Levi this is y/n, my new bar friend."
Levi doesn't bother looking at you and raises a hand to get Sasha's attention. Erwin shakes his head and leans over to look at you, "Sorry, he's not as friendly."
"Guess I won't expect a free refill from him." you say under your breath but Erwin hears and laughs. You notice that Levi's jaw tenses in the slightest and he looks at Erwin, saying something that was quiet enough for you not to hear.
You look down at your glass again, wishing that Reiner could get out of your head. You also wished that he wasn't a cheating snake.
"Shit." Erwin stands up and places a few bills on the table, "I'm sorry to cut the party short but I have somewhere to be. Have a good night y/n. Levi here will make sure you never run out of your drink." he pats Levi harshly on the back that causes him to roll his eyes.
"Bye Erwin." you wave.
It was quiet for a few minutes, Levi was drinking silently and you thought of what to say.
"Your friend is a lot more approachable."
"Yeah well I take that as a compliment."
"I'm sure you do."
Levi's eye twitches at your tone and places the glass down to look at you, " I know most people come to the bar to socialize but I come solely to drink. Go find someone else to chat to."
"But what if my drink gets empty?" you ask with a small pout and he scoffs.
"Then you buy another one." he says as if it was obvious. You couldn't help but be entertained by the way he was talking, so mean.
"But Erwin — " you start and jump when he slams his glass down again.
"Listen brat, I don't care what Erwin said. I'm saying you buy your own. I've had a shitty week and just want to drink in peace."
You now felt bad. You knew this week would be shitty for multiple reasons and didn't want karma to come get you.
Levi seems to be relaxed by your lack of reply and gulps down his drink. Just when he was about to order another one you move to the seat next to him. He doesn't look fazed by the change and looks at you briefly.
He looks more intimidating now. You take a deep inhale and finish off your drink as well.
