Promise (Levi x Reader)

Chapter 16

Riding inside the carriage, you keep looking around. You were outside walls and were heading to the harbor.

You were not wearing the uniform instead you were in dress that was picked by Sasha.

You looked at Levi who is sitting beside you, wearing a black coat with a white polo inside and black pants. He looks dazzling in his suit.

You shifted your gaze outside; you were really surprised to learn that they had eliminated all titans here in this land. It was beyond to your expectations and they killed them already years ago.

You take glance back at him and luckily he was paying attention on the documents he was reading. You remembered what had happened between you two yet you had no regrets.

You’re wondering what Levi felt, and you’re thinking if he regrets. You two keep it secret and neither the two of you talk about it, its better not to. Hence, all you do is act as if nothing happened.

Finally after a long while you arrived. “What the…” Your gaze fixated to the vast, azure ocean. You were very surprised by how wide it is.

You never would have thought that such a thing could exist. Although you have only heard about it, it turns out to be this incredibly fascinating. You step down from the carriage and followed Levi.

You keep looking around as it was new to you. You may be perplexed by what you’re seeing, still amazed by it. You were imprisoned for nine years, and during that time a lot of things occurred.

You’re now finally grateful that you accepted Hange’s offer and had you not, you would not have seen these beautiful changes.

“So where is Marley?” you asked to him, he paused and faces the sea. You did the same thing and stare at the large mass of water.

“On the other side of the sea, that’s where the island of Marley sits, and we’re going to ride that ship to get there.” Your eyes widened and look at the big ship very surprised.

“There’s no way for it to lead us to the other side,” you said that while laughing at him thinking it was a joke, and were only halted when you see him in his straight face. “Don’t tell me…”

“What the fuck, look Levi, we’re moving. It’s pretty cool,” you exclaimed out of excitement after the ship starts to move.

You stare at the wide sea, “We are really above the water.” You couldn’t help yourself but to be amazed.

You’ve never experienced such things in your life as you were only living in the shadow. You smile warmly being so happy,

so this is the outside world, it was big and beautiful.

The wind breeze touches your skin and your hair dancing along with the wind, it was warm and this sensation is breathtaking.

You were on the balcony, mesmerized by the lovely view. Being extremely happy is insufficient to adequately describe how you are feeling at this moment.

Levi on your side couldn’t take his eyes off to the attractive woman standing next to him. It was as though he were gazing at a beautiful angel.

For a long while staring at you, he couldn’t hold himself any longer and move his hand reached for strands of your hair and tucked them behind your ear. You flinch looking at Levi surprised.

He was merely staring at you, but this time his gaze was different and you couldn’t tell what he was thinking. You stare back at him nervously but you didn’t show any sign.

“You…”

You raise your brow as you wait for him to complete his statement. He was hesitant, and it was clear from the look on his face. Hesitating from what?

He averted his eyes and turned his head. You frown because of his behavior and it is unusual.

You continue to stare at him, then he said without looking at you, “You look beautiful in that dress, and your hair does fit you.”

You followed him with your gaze, your eyes wide open as he takes his leave. You stiffened and couldn’t move on the spot.

It appeared as though you were processing what he had just said, and you’re finding it hard to believe what you had heard. “Did he just tell me I’m beautiful?”

You were in your cabin; lying on the bed and staring at the white ceiling keep on recalling the scenario earlier.

Your thoughts had been troubled by what had occurred. You can still hear how he sounds; it’s as if his voice is reverberating in your head. You rolled over the bed try to move on and forget.

Suddenly you remembered what had happened between you two… and your face grew hotter.

Damn it!

You heard a knock behind the door and jumped to your feet, walk towards it, smiling uncontrollably.

You open it expectant to see him, but you drop your smile immediately after seeing who it was. Mikasa.

“You must prepare, we’re arriving in few minutes.”

Then she left. You’ve lived under the same roof with her for months, het her hatred for you hasn’t changed; it remains the same. You sighed and close the door.

Why do I feel disappointed?

You set foot for the first time in Marley. You look around the place, the surrounding was very crowded.

Hange and others would arrive on a so-called airship to pick everyone after destroying the place.

You were excited to see it even though you had no idea how it would appear.

You walked with Levi and other scouts blending with people, disguising as tourist.

You want to see you’re little brother but he was riding on different ship, you wanted to make sure his safety.

As you walk through, you felt very different, the atmosphere here is extremely strange. It felt heavy.

It was noon when you arrived, the sun shines very brightly. You’ve seen soldiers walking, and see people with noble dresses having a good time.

You can see now the difference here and in the Paradis, this place is way more developed.

It’s a shame because later at night whoever will attend the event will die in your hands.

You were halted when someone bumped into you.  You look at the kid who fell after bumping into you.

“Oh, are you alright?” You asked in concern as you knelt down to help her took a stand. She stare at your bare face before murmuring, “…you’re pretty.”

You look at her; she is wearing a stunning dress and has her somewhat curly hair tied up.

You smiled, “You look so adorable,” you said, as you pinch her cheek couldn’t help yourself from doing so. She pouted while rubbing her cheek.

“Mira, I told you to wait for me.” You took a stand when someone came picking her up. She looks at you and apologized.

You were about to leave but you heard her exclaims, “Let’s meet again, pretty lady.” You laugh a little as wave your hand farewell.
