It was the day after Isabel and Farlan's death. There weren't any expeditions or training going on today so you were sitting on your bed with your knees to your chest, silently crying. Not only did you lose two of your friends, but also your only friends.

Sure you had Levi, though he probably hated you, or blamed you for his friend's death. You were a bit scared to confront him about it, so you didn't. Instead, you just kept to yourself.

Levi was sitting in his bed, not crying though. There was probably nothing that could make that man cry real tears. His elbows rested on his knees as he tried not to regret his choice but that turned out to be very hard considering that he just lost his only, and best friends.

Of course, he had you, but he didn't consider you as his friend just yet. More like 'we know each other but that's it'.

After thinking about and what you were to him, the thoughts about you continued on in his head. Most of them consisted if 'is Y/N okay?' And 'what is she even doing right now?'.

His thoughts rambled on until he heard a soft knock on the door. No one else was in the dorms at the moment since most of the cadets had taken a day off and went to see family or friends. He didn't get up and just continued to stare at the wall behind the beds in front of him.

Since Levi didn't answer the door you took the opportunity to just open it. "Levi?" You asked as you peaked your head through the door.

"...What do you want, Y/N?" Levi was clearly not in the mood to talk to anyone right now, but that didn't matter.

"I'm just... checking on you. Making sure you're all right," you replied, offering him a sympathetic smile. He turned to look at you, only to turn right back again, trying to ignore your presence.

"Get out..." Levi hissed. He obviously didn't have the slightest interest in talking to you or anyone for that matter. "No, you can't possibly expect me to just leave you in a state like this." You sat down beside him. You were hesitant at first by putting your hand in Levi's shoulder, though he didn't brush it off.

You saw his eyes starting to tear up. To think that this stole cold man was capable of feeling such heartbreak saddened you. He closed his eyes to hold back his tears and let his hair fall over his face. You brushed some of the hair away to get a better look at Levi. He looked up at you as your own eyes teared up.

"Come, I want to show you something..." you said in a comforting voice. You stood up and dragged Levi by his sleeve outside to the training ground, and a little further. You stopped right under a big tree.

You took a deep breath before speaking, "Isabel used to always talk about this tree she saw from the view of the window in our dorm... she talked about how after the expedition we should all hang out here, together..." You looked down at the grass below you as you mumbled the last part.

"Oh, I see. What did you bring me out here for then?" Levi asked.

"I-I don't really know... I just wanted you to know that if you ever need someone to talk to, I'll be here."

"Tch, thanks..."

You sat down under the tree and patted the grass next to you. Levi sighed and sat down. After a moment of awkward silence you spoke up, "Levi, if we were to live to the day all the titans are gone, what do you plan on doing?"

"I-I'm not sure. I'd probably want to live somewhere far away from people. In a spacious house, that's easy to clean. And considering that I won't have to worry about everyone dying at any minute, I could get married..." Levi mumbled the last part, but you still heard it.

"Oh wow, who?"

"Who what?"

"Who do you plan on marrying?" You asked, surprisingly curious.

"I-I don't know yet. I do have to meet the right one before I consider marrying anyone." He answered. "How about you? What do you hope on doing after the titans are gone?"

"I uh... I guess I want to live somewhere far away from people too. But not too far away, I'd still want to easily visit people nearby. And... I want to live on a farm or something, thanks so Isabel I really like animals now... And I want my house to be placed in the middle of a flower field, with butterflies roaming around everywhere. And if I ever meet the right one, I'd marry him, or her, and live a peaceful and happy life... hopefully." You answered truthfully.

You always had a dream of one day living on the surface, on a farm, and with billions of flowers in all kinds of colors. And now, you had taken one step closer to that reality.

"You've got it all figured out I hear," Levi said, almost chuckling.

"Of course I do, it's been my dream since... forever." You admitted. You shifted your position and laid your head down on Levi's lap. He didn't smack you away so you took it as that he accepted it. Levi looked down at you and put one of his hands on your upper arm.

As he sighed he asked, "Y/N, do you... think that you might already have met the person you're going to marry in the future..?"

You didn't answer.

"Y/N?" He asked again.

Still no answer... because you were already asleep.

"What a way to ignore my questions... do you want me to wake you up? Or should I just leave you like this? No, okay. Time for bed I guess..." Levi grumbled as he picked you up bridal style. He walked back to the dorms but as he reached the door he realized one rather problematic detail... the door was locked.

He could hear the voices of some of the other female cadets on the other side of the door, but Levi didn't dare to knock on the door. Who knew what they would think of the situation.

'Damnit... What the hell am I supposed to do now?'

The only thing he could think of was either wake you up or leave you in his bed. Considering everything that's happened these past couple of days he figured it would be the best choice to let you sleep. So he walked to the door of his dorm and opened it.

Levi walked over to his bunk bed and laid you down, careful to not wake you up. After tucking you in, he sat down at the end of the bed.

"You know what, Y/N? I prefer it when you're sleeping. Makes you less annoying, and more... Likable." He could feel himself wanting to smile but decided to spare it for a special moment. Sometime when you could actually see him that is.
