Realizing

A/N: Hello there! You know already I don't own SNK. Thanks for the support you're giving me I appreciate it. I know it's short but please accept it! That's the only thing I can give. Don't worry this might end in two-three chapters.

Dress in a crimson dress, whose black hair is bun messily at her left side. The moment her eyes lock on him, he knows that it was her.

His heart suddenly beat faster than its usual –yet he didn't do anything but gazed at her slim body.

'I have to tell her...' He thought to himself, '...Even if it wouldn't end with her in my arms.' He added.

Breathing heavily; he cleared up his mind. Slowly his right foot was about to make its step when the high pitched feminine voice stop her.

Putting her arms around his own, she said, "C'mon Levi, I said I'm sorry."

Levi stops immediately as soon as he felt the cold arms wrapping his own. The girl, who was wearing a simple yet elegant peach dress, instantly grinned once she felt his gazes lingering at her. Her ginger hair touches the man's arm as she leans on him making Levi shiver at the sensation.

Softly as he could he shrugged off her arms from his and said, "I want to talk to someone, can you go on without me?"

Petra gazes back at the serious black eyes in front of her. Sighing she took her arms and put it around her back, smiling she answered, "Sure thing!"

Levi nodded before he went on his way, not noticing how her smile turns to a frown as she stares at his back dumbfounded.

Once her sight loses him in the crowd, her gazes instantly went to the woman who he was gawking before.

'So he still loves her until now...' sighing heavily, she went on to get herself some drinks.

"Mikasa, it's been a while! I missed you." The guy greeted before hugging her.

"Me too Eren." She agreed, as she hugs him back.

After a while, Eren broke their hug and look at her, "How have you been?"

"Well I'm fine I guess. Congrats on your wedding by the way."

"Mikasa we're still not married yet." Eren quickly corrected, his face turning red as a tomato as he did making her fiancé chuckle at the scene.

"How's Bertolt doing?" She asks once she finishes collecting herself.

Mikasa's smile vanishes instantly once she heard the name. With concern and worried sparkling at her eyes, she stares at the solemn dodger eyes in front of her.

Eren nervously watch silently as the two stony-faced stared each other. He was glad that the topic has changed but he can't help but feel jealous at the man that worried Annie –even if he's her fiancé. Still he didn't dare to speak as thought of chaos got the best of him.

Sometime pass, Mikasa let go off her stern look with a sigh as images of the past entered her mind.

Bertolt has always love Annie more than how a friend should have, that's why when his feeling was rejected, he began avoiding them all for the whole four years. To fix that, Annie decided to make him the best man for their wedding; sure it may be painful for Bertolt but it was the only way for her to talk to him after how many years and a chance to let Bertolt accept things since they know him enough to know he's still in denial.

With a warm smile across her face, she answered, "Don't worry; I'm sure that he'll go to your wedding after all he's the Best Man. He's just probably busy managing his hotel. After all, his hotel, Warrior is a five-star. And it's no joke managing it."

A weak smile flashes across her face once she heard her answer. About to open her mouth to thank her, she was soon cut up by a masculine voice.

"Mikasa."

As soon as that word came to Mikasa's ears, her system began to shut down as her heart leap forward. She was having a great time talking with the couple that she forgotten that he was here.

She was still in a deep trance when suddenly a cold yet warm hand touches her shoulder puling her out of her daze as she shivered from the touch.

After maintain her posture from the shock, she look at her back to see the guy that has been calling her.

"Wha-"

Whatever she was about to say has put to hold as she saw him closer this time. What attracts her attention wasn't the white suit or the man wearing it, instead what has appeal to her was the red cravat that was tied neatly around his neck for it was the same cravat that she gifted to him fourteen years ago.

Levi who has followed her stares had his cheeks burned as he realizes this.

Shifting his gaze to another direction, he calmly asks, "Can we talk outside?"

Mikasa's head screamed a 'no' but knowing him, she knows he wouldn't accept 'no' for an answer.

Defeated she answer, "Fine, let's go talk at the balcony."

Finally as it reach its peak, away from the clouds, the white orb shines brightly at the sky, the dogs howling along as they saw it, still crickets continued to noise as usual like nothing had happened unlike the birds who chirps loudly and more in annoyance.

Still, for the two people few feet away from each other, there is nothing but the ghostly silence they could hear. But Mikasa was tired of it so with a one last breath she breaks the ice.

"So... what do you want?" she asked.

"I-I still love you..."

Her eyes began to widen at shock at what she had hear, for a moment she wanted to see his face to see if he was lying or not, but at that spare moment she was able to calm enough for her to avoid it.

"Don't play around Levi, we're not kids anymore!"

"But it's the truth!"

Mikasa wanted to shout at the top of her lungs to tell him that his already late that she was already happy at the life she has now but before she could make a mistake that she'll regret later, she composed herself.

"Look Levi, If we're talking about this then it would be pointless, nothing's going to change, we have our own life now, It's already in the past, it can't be undone. Besides, we have talk about this already. If you're talking about this again I'm leaving."

Just as she was about to leave, Levi suddenly grab her wrist making her stop.

"Wait..."

"Now what?" Mikasa said not even bothering to look back.

"There was a reason why I lied to you and cheated you six years before!" He talks loudly than needed as he did. "Petra... Petra has a lung cancer." He added.

From everything he expected that has a chance of happening, he didn't expect that what he'll get from saying it would be a red hand embedded from his cheeks from her slaps.

Levi caresses it as he tries to remove the pain that's already starting to sting him.

"If that's the case then I'm more disappointed of you! If you would be able to cheat on me because a sick girl wanted too, then what if an ill-girl pleaded you to do it again? Doesn't this mean they are more important to you than me? I know you don't know what to do in those situations, but at least... at least you could have told me!"

Mikasa took her wrist back as she continued to storm off. Levi could only stares at her back going away from him as those words haunted him.

'I didn't realize that...'
