breaking point ¬ levi's

3

Hanji was the first person who tried to befriend me here.

How could she tell I was crying?

Stupid, I probably look like a depressed red-eye little brat.

"That is not your business, Four-Eyes," I said, trying to defend myself.

"Well now it is! Why are you crying Levi?" She replied, pitying me. Erwin still had this same surprised look.

Don't pity me, big mouth.

"I was not crying." I crossed my arms.
"Okay, let him, it's fine. He is probably tired," Erwin said to Four-Eyes.

"Oh but, actually, thinking of that. I never thought or seen the Captain cry, how unusual.."

"Shut it, shit head."

She made a weird sound, and jumped on me to give me a hug.
"Shitty brat, get off me," I shrugged.

There was an awkward silence. She was still holding me in her arms and Erwin looked at us.
"F-For the last time, I wasn't crying,"
I lied again, screw my stutter. I felt so vulnerable enough by crying in the first place. Now I feel extremely vulnerable by crying in front of them and being hugged by Hanji.

"Okay, now let's change the subject," interrupted Erwin,"We have a meeting to attend in five minutes. Hanji, could you go save a place for Levi and me, we'll come just after you, okay?" He demanded Hanji, still holding me in her big long tangly arms.

"Umm, yeah, I guess."

She left, and after a short moment, Erwin looked at me like he wasn't surprised anymore.

"Levi, you know it's okay. You don't have to hide. Just remember, no one could ever know what could happen, and it's not your fault."

I stood, still feeling sick from all the crying.

"When is this meeting?"
"Oh, yeah, let's go."

Erwin was right. I shouldn't be ashamed of crying. But I feel this way, and it'll always be that way. Erwin was also right when he said no one could ever know the outcome of unfortunate events. Now I'll stop be a scared little shit and move on.

They are dead, but they aren't in my memories, because we had good times. And nothing can ever erase those good times.

I know Squad Levi will never be the same without them, without Petra, shit-head Oluo, Eld, and Gunther, but this is just part of the package.
