{LEVIHAN} My True Lover

Chapter 1: You'll Be Mine...

"Hey, Levi." Looking up from my assignment from English class, I realized that I was drifting away or something. Actually... I don't remember what I was thinking about earlier... Erwin was looking down on me, tilting his head. "Come on, you've been drifting away a lot lately... why is that? Need to go to the nurse's or something?"

"Tch." Was all I said as I carefully put the assignment back into my backpack. I shouldn't be bothering with essays in senior year here... but, that's the school's policy. Whether I like it or not. "What are you doing here, Erwin? Don't you have a date or something?"

He chuckles, "For a guy without feelings, you do know how to humor us."

"Whatever..." I say. "Aren't you gonna answer my damn question-"

Erwin then held his hands up, "Wake up on the wrong side of the bed, Levi? Jeez. And to answer your question, I was wondering if you want to help out showing this new student around school and-"

"Erwin, that's your job as student council. Not mine. Besides, why would I help you out? Not like it's gonna help me or anything."

He then leans forward, with a smirk on his face. "Well... from your record, the staff members are looking at student's credits... and it seems to me that you're not gonna graduate this year. If I were you, I would join a club."

"Tch. You don't know shit about me, Erwin."

"Come on, worth a try. Levi, I'm worried about you-"

"In what way?" I stared at him, "In what way?" I asked again. "Mentally, academically? What? You know I'm incapable of having feelings..." My voice drifted away.

I knew I wasn't a normal kid... I was different. Which is the reason why I stayed away from people, becoming the loner that everyone knows about. The small rebel who doesn't dare to do their work. They really didn't know that I'm just a shell, without a soul... just wanting that missing piece of me. Never knowing that I wanted to become that normal kid, who would cry at sad times, laugh when joy is present, and to feel pain when I'm hurt.

Erwin sighed, "Come on. Help me out. Please."

What else can I do before school starts? There's literally nothing else for me to do. Showing a new student show kill some time. I rather do that then to sit down and just stare off as I tried to find a way to feel. "Fine. But if this student talks to me, or if he even tries to be my friend, I don't want him near me."

He laughs, "I don't think that'll be the problem, Levi."

"Why is that?"

Erwin turns around, having that devilish smile appear on his face. "Because the new student isn't a guy... it's a girl. And she's a junior."

*   *   *

Following Erwin down the steps from the rooftop, he kept his distance. A girl? Must be a transfer student, or someone that was home-schooled, there was no way that she was new around here...

"Who is she?" I asked him, hoping to figure out who she was. I felt... a hint of curiosity... which is pretty new. I never felt that.

He shrugs, "All I know is her name, that's it, Levi."

"Which is?"

"Hanji Zoe."

"Hanji... anything else about her?"

Erwin looks back at me, having a small smirk on his face. "Oh... is the emotionless Levi finally having a bit of emotions? That's a bit surprising... for a guy who does express any feelings..."

Rolling my eyes, I ignored his comment about what he said towards me. Then, from the corner of my eye... it felt that someone just... gave me life. I only saw her back, but I saw her brown hair. In my head, I thought that it smelled like strawberries. 

"Hanji?" Erwin shouts, which made her turn.

I never thought she would wear glasses... but she did. That didn't fit her... no... it didn't. Those glasses didn't need to sit on her beautiful face of hers... and her hazel eyes... why did it draw me towards her? Why did I want to be closer to her?

The girl, Hanji, smiles. "You must be Erwin..." She shakes his hand. "I heard you were showing me around school." She tilts her head over to me, and he giggles was so... relaxing to hear. "Who are you?"

"L-Levi..." Why am I stuttering around her? I never stutter near anyone. Was she a witch? Or the cure for my disease? Whoever or whatever she was... I needed her. When I looked up, I thought of her lips to taste like strawberries or cherries... "I'm Levi."

Her smile infected me with her cure... I felt... my heart pounding fast, and I felt that she was a goddess. She cured me. "Well... I'm guessing you already know who I am."

Erwin took one glance at me, chuckling softly. "Well, shall we give you the tour? And mostly, I would stick around Levi."

"Eh?" She says as she walks right next to me. 

The urges to take her hand was strong... but I held back. If I were to take her hand, she would get scared of me... and eventually leave me. But... I felt that the closer I was to her... the more normal I felt. I needed her... 

"Why should I stick around him when you're showing me around?"

Erwin chuckles, clearly walking away from her... spacing himself away from her. "Well, you guys share the same schedule... shouldn't be that bad. But I do encourage you to join in a club."

"And why is that?" When she bounced close to Erwin, I felt this... hatred growing inside me. But it seemed that he knew how I felt earlier, and tried to keep his distance away from Hanji.

He sighed, "Well... it's better for you to know the school way better if you joined a club. Maybe you can also convince this guy to join something."

She smiles and turns to me. That feeling inside... woke something in me. "What grade are you in?"

"I'm a senior..." I managed to speak properly with her around. "And I heard you're a junior, am I right?"

"Right you are, midget?"

"Midget?" Though... it sounded that it should have insulted me... but it really didn't. "Why are you calling me that?"

She looks at me, "You're not upset at me?"

"Why would I be upset about you?"

Hanji's look just sent confusion down her spine... I see it in her beautiful hazel eyes... "You mean... you don't mind being called a midget?"

Shaking my head, I still don't understand why it would upset me... that was the first time I ever had a nickname like that... and when she said it... I felt that it was full of love. "No..." Would it be safer if I told her my secret? No... no, if I told her... she wouldn't be near me again. She would despise me of not being a normal kid.

But... I needed her. As we walked over to our first class... I think I already decided Hanji's fate. You'll be mine... and only mine, Hanji Zoe. If I can't have you... no one will ever have you.
