A Fading No One.

IIV

"He what?!"

My world began shutting down. I began to feel queasy, a stone sank down into the deepest depths of my stomach.

By the time I looked up, Erwin was gone, and Levi was stoic again. "Levi, is what he said... is that true?"

He only nodded his head.

His expression seemed stoic, but I saw horror in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, for loving you Eren. If i hated you, you wouldn't have felt the need to save me with the serum."

I couldn't help but smirk.

"Levi, at the time, I thought you did hate me. I only read the first page remember?"

Levi looked shocked. "That's correct. So what made you save me?"

I looked down, at the ground. I didn't have a reason. i didn't know why. I just... I just did. "I guess deep down I loved you, even though I felt unrequitted."

levi sighed heavily.

"Whatever I do, It causes people pain. it caused you pain. I'm sorry. now look where we are, we are sitting here, preparing to become a part of the past."

"we can only help the universe become nothing, Levi." I said. I believed that there was a beyond the pale blue yonder that awaited us. There was a space, expanding, and it expanded until it's energy was spread too easily, and we all became a thing of the past. All nothing, there wouldn't even be a memory.

"we've done our job." i said. deep down i was angry, infuriated. These mother fuckers called titans ruined my life and many others.

"i just wish I could kill them all." I said, a tear at the edge of my waterline. I held it back.

Levi began to speak. "when I heard that you hated me, I thought I would wince, yet right here and now, I am your prince."

"pardon me?" I was so confused.

"it's a poem. they relieve stress, try it."

Alright. I tried to put words together in my mind.

"here I lie,
beyond love at last.
at least right before,
I become a part of the past.
Sorrow is black,
And love, it insists.
I want to murder every fucking titan that exists.
I have a thirst, to make every single one of them bleed.
But I guess, that would include you and me.
but what am I? is it human?
What if all I want is accuman?
I'm a nobody fading,
Maybe this way i'll be free
In a way escaping
This hell of a reality"

I realized that Levi started to look sad, i had to turn the poem around.

"But then there was you,
You lit up my day
To my rainbow you were the hues
And together we'll fall astray
This deserted path
At last
we get to laugh
To my broken memories,
You are my cast.
Thank you for that."

Levi looked up. He was on the verge of tears.
"Don't cry! i'm... i'm sorry."

He looked at me. "No, it was pretty. that's all. Let's go."

He put on the uniform he'd put on one last time. I did, too.
