Live for me. Live for us

Chapter 13: After death

"Who?" Hanji raised an eyebrow. I took out my green contacts exposing my bright blue eyes. Next I ripped my hair as hard as I could taking off the wig and letting my 'black as night' hair fall to my breasts. Hanji backed away. "When my parents gave me away my fake father altered my looks to protect me from the military killing me" I explained. Annie got up and ran towards me. "Oh look who came for a visit. Ebony Leonhart. I understand why dad gave you away" she smiled. "Oh no this is not a visit. Ebonys back forever" I smiled

As Ebony whenever I smile I look like a yandere. "Viol- Ebony whats going on here" Levi stood and grabbed my hand. For a moment my world stopped. This was not warmth I felt. It was coldness. As if he felt angry that I kept this from him. "Levi" my voice went soft. We stood staring into each others eyes. "Whos this" Jean ran towards us. "Hello im Ebony Leonhart. Violet was my alternative persona" I let go of Levis hands. At that moment I felt time break. What was this feeling.

"I want to address something" I said. "We're listening" Annie said. "As my real identity is now reviled I don't want to be treated differently" I looked in everyones eyes. They all nodded. "Now lets head home it's getting late" I said mounting my horse.

Once we got back Erwin waited for us. "Who is this" He said pointing towards me. "Hello im Ebony Leonhart. Violets real identity" I bowed once I presented myself. Erwin including everyone was too confused to speak.

I laid on my bed ready to fall asleep when Levi came in. "Theres a thing called knocking. You should try it" I smiled. Still looking creepy as fuck. "Sorry" He said sitting on my bed. "Ebony can I ask you something" He asked. "Yes" I looked at my ceiling. "What do you think happens after you die" he linked his hand with mine. "Odd. Annie asked me that not too long ago. I dont know" I said.

"Reincarnation" A female voice said from my door. Hanji stood there and we unlinked our hands. "I think it's reincarnation" she sat on my bed too. "I think its eternal darkness" I continued looking straight up. "Hey guys. Whatever you do. Don't forget this conversation ok?" Levi smiled. He actually smiled. We both nodded and I fell asleep.

I dreamt about life after death and eternal darkness swallowing me whole. I jolted up and when down for breakfast. I got a lot of looks. Because of my true self. I sat with Hanji, Levi, and Sasha. Of course Sasha inhale her food. Hanji too. Me and Levi shared some eggs because both of us we equally full already. What we didn't eat Sasha and Hanji fought over.

"Ebony why didn't you show yourself earlier. Your a very beautiful woman" Sasha smiled. I couldn't help but blush. "Thank you" I smiled. I felt Levi kick me from under the table. I looked over at him and he gestured that we go for a walk.

We talked mostly about life and death. "Ebony promise this. Don't die before me" Levi stopped and held my hand. "Why" I asked "I don't think I could handle life with you" he blushed. "Levi please" I blushed also. "Im not joking I don't want live without you" Levi said. He was being dead serious. I sighed. "Ok I promise" I rolled my eyes and Levi playfully punched me.

We sat at that lake. We've been out for at least an hour now. "Now Levi why do you like me so much" I asked. "Hmmm. I guess you're different. Unique." he smiled. "Why do you like me so much" He asked. "You're a pretty boy. You got a weird way of seeing the world. I guess you're just. Unique." We both laughed at our similar answers. We talked more about each other and another hour past.

"We should head back now" I stood. "No just a while longer." He pulled me down. "Ebony I have to ask something" Levi said. "Ask away" I looked him in his grey eyes. "Do you love me" He fumbled with his thumbs. "I don't know what love is" I looked at my lap. "Love is when you hold someone" He gabbed my hands. "And the world feels like it stops" he pushed my face up. "And you know everything is going be okay for just one moment.

He leaned in and closed the space between our lips.
