Fanfic AOT Levi x Petra

Part 10

Miki nodded. Levi looked up and whipped his tears away. He put away his swords and walked to Miki. One meter in front of her he stood still. She looked at him, not knowing what to say or do. Levi looked her in her eyes. ‘What happened, why did you disappear, where have you been, who is this boy, and how did you stay alive?’ He asked. 'He...uhm...dad, I love him. We stayed at his house in the forest.. and...well...he befriended a titan, so that titan lures the others away...' Levi looked from his daughter to the boy. ‘You what?’ 'I love him.' Miki said. Levi looked at Petra not know how to react. Petra looked at Miki. 'Does he love you back?' Miki nodded. The boy did a step forwards. ‘Sir, I don’t think this is the right place to talk. I suggest that we go inside, there we will explain everything.’ Levi thought and nodded. There wasn’t another option. And everyone went inside. The boy looked at Miki. ‘Should I tell them?’ Miki nodded. ‘Okay.’ The boy said. ‘To start with, my name is Kite.’ He took a breathe and started to tell the story. ‘A few months ago I found Miki, she was unconscious. I took her with me to this house where I took care of her. It took me two months to cure her completely. After that she had to get stronger. In that time we fell in love.’  Miki looked at her parents. 'So... please don't be angry..' Levi looked at her. ‘Don’t be angry? Miki, do you know what I and Petra did to find you? I let a titan hit me because I lost you! I was almost dead. It broke us. And how long did you planned to stay here? Or didn’t you want to come back and live a happy life here?’ 'I...of course I wanted to come back to you! But.. but what could I have done? I was wounded! And the reason I didn't come back is because my gear was broken!' she said, tears welling up in her eyes. ‘Well you said he has a titan friend. Then you could walk back with the titan to protect you.’ Levi said. He knew he shouldn’t be angry, he was glad he found her. But he felt like he explode. He never felt this much of emotions flowing through him. Like everything what he felt the last months came out. 'We tried that! But if the titan got attacked while someone was on it's back, I would've gotten crushed! Look at how the dummy we used ended up!' Miki said and grabbed a doll made of grass and wood. It looked like a mess. 'Well...at least you're alive...but we were really worried you know...we thought we lost you..' Petra said. Levi looked away. How could she stay so calm? Miki hid her eyes. 'Sorry..' Levi took a deep breathe. ‘Okay, what are we going to do now?’ 'Well...I thought...maybe he could come with us to the hq?' Miki asked. ‘No way.’ Her father answered. ‘He won’t be of any use.’ Kite stood up. ‘I’ll give you some time.’ He said and walked outside. He didn’t like Levi at all. Miki looked at her father with sad eyes. 'Please...if he isn't coming then neither am I..' she said. Petra looked at Levi. 'Maybe we should let him stay for a little while...we could train him?' Levi was shocked. What now? His daughter, who he thought for months to be dead. Came up with a  boy he never saw before, and forced him to take him to the hq. He became angry again. How could she do this? 'Levi..' Petra said and put her hand on his, trying to calm him down. 'she loves him...we can't ask her to leave him...I understand you're not happy about this at all but really isn't it better if she's happy too?' Levi stood up. ‘It doesn’t make sense. If she stays here I’m going to be depressive and Miki is sad because she left her father for the boy she loves. But if she and Kite come with us I’m going to be sad because I will have the feeling to lose her. And that will make Miki sad. Whatever we do, we won’t be happy.’ Petra looked at him. 'If we just go back all together...we at least will be together? It's difficult, but she's older too...she can't be your little girl forever. She gets older, but that doesn't mean she doesn't love you anymore.' She said and smiled soft. Levi knew he couldn’t win from them. He walked outside. 'Levi..' Petra sighed. Why was he like this? He was really depressed... Levi saw Kite and walked to him. He pinned him against a tree. ‘If you do one thing to Miki I’ll kill you.’ Kite looked at him, he was angry but he kept his cool. Levi let him go and walked back inside. Miki looked at him. ‘When do we leave?’ Levi asked. . ‘What about Kite?’ Miki asked. Levi looked at Petra. ‘He can come with us. But I keep an eye on him.’ Petra smiled soft. Miki jumped up and hugged Levi. 'Thank you dad!!' She said and kissed his cheek. Miki, Petra and Levi walked outside. Kite was standing between the trees. But with him was a girl. The girl had blond hair and leaned against a tree, they were talking. Levi looked at them, He couldn’t see her face but he thought he knew her. 'Who's that girl??' Miki asked. Kite looked up, he said something and the girl turned around. Levi gasped. That girl, her hair, her eyes. Those eyes, looking like she wasn’t interested in anything. He knew her. The last time he saw her she turned into a big crystal. How did she get loose? The girl, standing there with Kite. Was Annie.  

Miki looked at Levi. 'Dad? Do you know that woman?' Slowly he nodded. ‘Who is she?’ Miki asked. Levi looked at his girl. ‘Her name is Annie, she gave us big trouble years ago. And she killed our best soldiers.’ Levi’s eyes became unclear. ‘And…’ Miki understood. 'She's the one...I understand.' Levi looked at Annie. This was the person who took Petra away from him. He remembered it clearly, how she lay there. Against a tree. He felt himself becoming angry, more angry than he ever had been. Petra put a hand on his shoulder. 'Levi.' He calmed down a bit. Kite came closer with Annie behind him. ‘This is Annie.’ He said, not knowing that Petra and Levi already knew her. ‘She is the titan who protected us these months.’ He looked at Miki. ‘Sorry I didn’t tell you before.’ She looked Annie in the eyes. Anger was burning in Miki's eyes. You could tell the whole story from just looking at her eyes. Kite didn’t understand. ‘Something wrong?’ He asked slowly. Miki looked at him. 'Let's go to the hq. I...will tell you later.' Levi shook his head. ‘I won’t take HER with us.’ He looked angry at Annie.
