Complications Throughout Generations

Chapter 105

Eren's POV:

We were back at school. Everyone had heard about Bertolt at that point. Students and teachers came up to all of us and gave their condolences. The funeral was in a few days. It was something I had yet to experience. Back then, if you died, you died. Sasha was the only one I knew that was properly buried but obviously I couldn't be there.

Jean and Annie were still in their own separate rehabs and Reiner hadn't been seen or heard from. As the days went on, the more I processed it. He's really gone.

I was in English class. It's only been a few days but I stare at the door waiting for Reiner to come in. But I couldn't imagine seeing him any time soon unfortunately. I'm glad Levi got his memory back when he did, otherwise this would've been worse. He now has the mindset he once had where he's simply desensitized to death. He's just as upset as the rest of us. But there's no panic attacks, excessive crying, or the worsening of his OCD. He's able to sit at his desk and let me draw shapes on his back as I usually do. I can't think of anything you can really compare his situation to. After years, he gets his memory back, Hange is his newly adopted sister, and we finally tell each other we love one another. But on the flip side, his friend dies of a drug overdose and all his friends are in mourning. So he's kept the information to himself. No one knows he got his memory back or that Hange is now adopted. Technically, they never knew she didn't have a real home to begin with. I've been over his house immediately after school every day. Since basketball season was over, it made things easier. It's back to the way it was. Put on a movie, make out, blowjobs, nap, eat, then cuddle until my curfew. It was simple but we both knew that as long as we had each other, what we did wouldn't matter.

I started to draw figure 8's on his back. I could tell that was making him tired. He doesn't sleep much at night. That's why we take those naps. I can sleepover on weekends. That's when he gets a full night's rest. Other than that, he can't sleep unless I'm with him. I'm not exactly complaining either. It's finally started. Our second chance. A new shot at life. We can finally love each other the way we always wanted. Just me and him. Forever and always. I always said 'I'll see you in another lifetime'. Now here we are. It took us awhile but I knew we'd get there eventually.

I reached over to him before the teacher noticed.

"I love you," I whispered. It was something I said often very quickly. It was all too true. I did love him and I wanted him to know.

"Pay attention, brat." He whispered back. There was a small pause. "I love you too." But his reply made me smile like a child. I felt complete. He was here. It was really him. My Levi. My one true love. My everything. I'll never do anything stupid again. I'm learning from my mistakes. Hurting Levi will be the last thing I ever do. I made that promise to myself the other night. I intend on keeping it. I won't let anything happen to him for as long as I live.

I love you, Levi Ackerman.
