One-shots & Short Stories [Levi | Reader]

Human Nature [Levi | Reader | Modern AU!]

It's amazing how fast everything happens. In a flash.

How fast people die.

And most of all, how long it takes to recover. In other words, never.

Two years ago, there was an accident, you could call it. People died of course. It was... the doing of a lunatic. Moreover, he was never caught. 

However, now he's probably home alone, doing something his crazy mind considers rightful and not causing any problems to anybody. 

You don't seek revenge. 

The guy never did anything to you. Directly anyway. 

And you could care less of what has become of him nowadays, but it would be a thrilling experience to meet the killer of your parents face to face and ask him:

"What made you kill all of those people back then?"

You couldn't know whether you'd be able to comprehend the answer or not-- heck, you weren't sure you'd receive an answer, but you've always wondered, what made murderers kill in the first place? 

Was it the thrill? 

Probably.

Maybe arousal?

Might be.

Panic?

For defensive reasons mostly yes.

Or maybe it was something far beyond what your brain could cope with, something twisted or scary, something meant to stay forever locked inside of the doer's mind?

That was just one of the questions you liked to ask yourself daily. 

Maybe there is something wrong with you. 

You are traumatized. 

You can fall into depression. 

You can't express yourself.

You can't do a lot of things. 

And one of them is not knowing when to shut your mouth, to comprehend the fact that what you've said is enough or that you shouldn't say it at all.

Selfish. Self-obsessed, also conceited. Self-indulgent and mostly-- evil.

All characteristics above are in the possession of every single person alive or that was to ever roam this Earth. 

Sure, they are covered up, but they are nature. 

And as much as we may try to be humane, nature is what we are, so we can't repulse it.

And some of us just accept it instead.

"Why would you come today?"

"Why don't you watch your step?"

"Why don't you take example from those people?"

"Why don't you have manners? Didn't your parents ever tell you not to talk while chewing?"

"Why do you always gnaw on your lips?"

"Why don't you ever talk with full sentences?"

"Why can't you just die?"

Those are the questions you are most often to receive and honestly, probably the ones that would stay forever imprinted on the inside of your brain. They chase you when you sleep, but when they catch you, they never do you any harm.
