❝ Living life, without my soulmate, is a challenge on every level.❞ 

-Maverick Hill

Love wasn't something i desired. It seemed to only exist in books and films. The whole wonders of your grey world turning into a bright colourful rainbow.

That was until I met him.

Eren Jäeger.

A tall, skinny boy with messy brown hair and gorgeous blue green eyes. His smile shone brighter than a thousand suns. His quirky, lovable person drew you in as soon as you lay eyes on him.

All that for a dull man: Me. I had built a wall around myself. I swore that nobody would be able to break it down. People thought I was plain rude, boring and uninterested. 

But when Eren came along; when he walked through the door in the coffee shop where i first served him a pumpkin spice latte on a cold winter day. I felt as if my understandable wall had been cracked.

And the best part of it all, the black and world i once knew was full of unimaginable colours. At that very second, of what i remember was at 13:21, i had met my soulmate. 

I saw his eyes widen, realising that hid whole world had changed. There was a slight glimmer that made his eyes shine like the Caribbean ocean bathing in the sun.

He walked over and ordered, our gaze not breaking for a second as he did so. I asked for his name to write on his cup. 

"Eren." He replied. Eren's voice was full, sweet, kind and definitely intoxicating. 

After that we began to talk . we discussed anything really; whatever came to our minds at the time. I found out that his favourite colour was a darkish green. , that he owned a cat called Muffin, that he was in college studying biology. He also said he loved reading books and if he wasn't studying or with his friends, he would be in the library. He loved the way the author brought the characters alive and how you feel like you can relate to parts of the book. And how it was somewhere else - a different world to immersed in. 

We talked for hours, until closing time. My bosses Erwin and Hanji saw I was enjoying myself so they left me to it. 

When the day ended, we both exchanged numbers. We promised each other to meet sometime soon. He left with a massive grin on his face saying thanks for the amazing day. I was happy that he felt that way. I was just happy in general. 

I came to love Eren dearly. I was able to open up to him fully. And he didn't push me away. So the wall that once stood strong crumbled into a million pieces with Eren on the other side.

Time went on and Eren and I moved into an apartment up the road form the coffee shop with his cat Muffins. It was a small apartment with a small living area and kitchen. The bedroom was also small but it was enough. Enough for both of us, together.

Like usual Eren was at collage for morning lessons. As for me, I was serving people at the counter. Hanji joked around while preparing orders. Petra at the other side laughing at the stupid jokes. and also preparing orders. Mike was sitting in the staff room on his break sipping a coffee he brewed for himself. 

At that second, my heart sank. My hands froze and my breath halted. I close my eyes for a briief second, opening them again to see my surroundings in a monotone colour. Everything was black and white again. So dull, lifeless. Tears threatened to fall. This couldn't be happening. No. I refuse.

I buried my face in my hands. The tears finally fell, over rushed and unstoppable. I began to feel dizzy, light on my feet. I was losing it. Everything. 

Hanji shot around running over to me, followed by Petra. Their faces showing concern. Hanji began to rub circles on my back and ocassionly squeazing my shoulders for confort.

"Levi? Hey, What's the matter?" Hanji spoke quietly into my ear. 

"It's- It's gone." I managed to say, chocking on my sobs. "Colour. It's gone. Eren. Eren's-" My breathing rapidly increased and became heavier. 

Hanji decided to lead me into the staff room away from the eyes of the customers. Petra stayed behind at the counter incase anybody came into the shop.

Hanji seated my down on the at the table. Mike sat opposite looking at hanji questioningly. 

"Eren's what Levi?" She asked. It was almaost like a totally different Hanji. 

"Gone." I looked up. I was losing hope and i knew hanji could see that. Hanji realised what I meant, looking at Mike then back to me.

I cried more and more. I knew exactly what it meant when everything went dull. I had lost everything. I had lost Eren

When I arrived home later that day thanks to Hanji dropping my off. I saw a note on the side drawers in the hall way. I noticed the neat writing that i knew was Erens. 

Levi,

Thank you. for being such an amazing person. You rally did light up my world. Haha. I'm truly grateful for everything you have done for me and I'm sorry. 

I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I wish I did. But I thought you might have left me. I couldn't risk that. I'm sorry i didn't tell you about the illness I've had for around six years. The doctors didn't really know what to do, they had no idea what i had. 

I stayed strong though. I smiled and laughed for you. I wanted to make you happy. I didn't want you feeling like you used to. No matter happens Levi never built a wall around yourself again. Open up to people like you did to me, please. 

I want you to know I love you. I love you and everything about you. I didn't care what people thought about me or thought about us. I stilled loved you. 

So don't be angry Levi. Be strong. If it's not for yourself then for me. Smile Levi. 

Thankyou for being the best soulmate in the world. I'm sorry it turned out this way. hopefully I see you in my next life.

Eren
