You thought that Levi was the perfect one for you. You would be lying to yourself if you said that you still believed that. You never would have thought that he would be the kind of man to break your heart like he had done. He was handsome, but he was also kind and loving. Was it all a lie?
You remember waking up in his arms that morning. You loved the way his arm would drape over your bare waist protectively. His touch and smell never failed to make your heart swell with tenderness. It was one of those good mornings you had with him, until that evening where he had come home completely upset about something at work. You remember trying to comfort him, but his shoulders flinched away at your careful touch; almost slapping them away if he hadn't contained himself. There was no doubt that you were hurt by his actions, but you thought you could handle it. But you knew there was only so much you could handle.
You barely spoke the next few days; only brief exchanges of condensed words when absolutely necessary before parting ways to get to work. You wanted time to rewind back to when you first met. He was a young man that was freshly admitted to serve his country for the upcoming war, while you were trained to rescue and treat the injured during battle. Levi wasn't just precise, he was immaculate. He never needed saving, but it turns out you needed him to swoop you off your feet. You had been clipped in the side by an OTM bullet, and if it wasn't for him, you wouldn't have lived through another day. Your love wasn't completely one-sided though, he had been immensely worried about your condition as well. You even remember the creases between his furrowed brows, but all those details seemed useless now that you had lost him entirely.
You ran your fingers down the deep jagged scar that travelled across your belly button. You could almost feel the searing pain of a bullet, but you knew that was all in your head. You quickly change into your nightwear and slip into the cold bed alone. Levi had been working overtime so much lately, he would usually come home after midnight. You were never able to greet him when he arrived, because you would usually fall asleep from your own exhaustion from work. He would never run his fingers through your hair like he used to. Now that you think about it, he hadn't kissed you in forever either. Your love was fading, and you could do nothing to stop it from happening.
Maybe you were attempting to make amends. You still didn't know why you had decided to visit him at his office. It was long past his work hours, but you assumed he was working extra hours again. The bag with his dinner in it suddenly felt more heavier as you entered the lift. You knock politely in case he would be upset with you for being tactless, but as nobody answers, you have no choice but to slink past undetected. Just as you reach the door to his office, you hear faint sounds coming from the room. That's when you realise that he was not alone. You were about to backtrack, but then you hear the his name being uttered by another woman.
"Levi....!"
You cover your hand over your mouth as the cries of another woman grows louder and louder. You were immobilised. Your mind was screaming at you to kick open the door and demand what was going on, but your body would not listen. The emotional turmoil begins to surface as you back away from the door. Just then, it opens and you look up to see your lover emerge from the inside. You notice a girl in just her undergarments spread across his work desk and the tears instantly coil as you tear your gaze away from him. Levi watches in silence as every bit of your sanity disintegrated. His own heart was tightening, and he wanted to bring you close and tell you that he was sorry. He wanted to love you again, just like old times. But time waited for no-one, and your relationship was something of the past. It was too late to rekindle the dim fire that was already extinguished long ago.
Your hand moves on it's own accord and it makes harsh contact with his face. The stinging pain of your hand was nothing compared to the desolation you felt within yourself. You try to wipe away the tears for the sake of your dignity, but your sobs echo loudly as you turn away from him at last. You had tried to salvage your hopeless romance, but now someone would have to mend your broken heart too. Levi watches you go without a word, then he brings his hand up to his tingling cheek.
His cheek hurt more than his heart.
