tidal (Levi x Reader)

97. bergenia

"So- what's happening in the main hall?" I asked, peeking over my book to stare up at Levi from my position on his lap.

we've been sappy for long enough just tell me the bad news <33

"Eren is preparing to leave," Levi muttered, looking down at me.

PLEASE DON'T BE A JOKE

"Really? You should've told me earlier," I beamed.

LIFE CAN FINALLY RETURN TO NORMAL

"I was only listening to you idiot," Levi frowned slightly.

stop looking like a dejected dog- this is a moment for celebration

"Stop looking sad," I reached up to pinch his cheek. "Don't tell me you want him to stay?"

ive given up on eren .

i hope he stays far away from me

good luck mikasa and armin <33 he isn't my problem anymore

"I can't help but worry that he's only leaving because he's gotten what he came for," Levi murmured.

ok now you have to shut up

"We're still married."

i'd say he hasn't succeeded

"You're right but-"

"Is this the moment that you tell me that you've fallen out of love with me because a childish prince lied to you enough about my character to make you believe it?" I reached up to grab his hand, squeezing it.

it would be incredibly embarrassing for me if that's the case

"How did you know?" He gasped dryly, "Eren has thoroughly convinced me that you've been secretly manipulating me into loving you by pretending to be deeply in love with your guard."

it's not pretend <3 i am in love with hanji

"Seriously- what are you worried about?"

actually, wait, do i want to know ???

"When I was talking to him earlier he had completely given up on trying to convince me of anything," he paused, thinking, "I don't believe that someone like the prince would give it up that easily."

i can dream

"Then why would he be going back to the capital?"

he isn't the type to give up that easily

"Who knows?"

"Has he received any letters from the first princess?" I sat up, my fingers still interlaced with Levi's.

maybe she told him something-

"Not that I know of."

so there's something else-

can't we just be content with the fact that he might be leaving just because?

there's never a 'just because' <3 it's hard for plot progression

except miss y/n this isn't a story .

that's what you'd like to think

HUH ???

nothing

"Maybe he's just given up- I was talking to his attendants- they disagree with him- maybe they talked him out of it."

except the timeline doesn't work out on that-

mikasa and armin talked like they were going to talk to him
