The Secretary. {Levi x Reader} (Completed)

24. Feeling Down

(Levi)

I walked outside of the gate with my small suitcase in my hand. Probably the last time I'll travel like this alone again... Unless it's for work. But I'm excited about it, I probably would be even more if there wasn't a funeral I had to attend tomorrow. Just as I was about to walk out of the airport I was pulled into a hug. 

"Levi bro, welcome back. " Isabel said but not nearly as excited as she usually does. That's understandable. 

"Hi Isabel. " I hugged her back. 

"Levi, it's been a while. " Farlan came and patted my shoulder. 

"You are acting like you haven't seen in years, I was here just a month ago. " I shook my head and pulled back. 

"Well we miss you anyway. " Isabel playfully punched my shoulder. 

"I know, I know. "

"How was your trip? " Farlan asked me. 

"It was... Worse than I expected but I made it, right? " I sighed and we walked outside to get to his car. 

"Was the flight that bad? " Isabel asked. 

"Yeah, yesterday was going too good so of course then it had to go and.. Make everything shit. "

"Well... At least you're here now. And you are going to see your mom and Amy again so that's good. " she tried to cheer me up. 

I did have to hold back a smile thinking of both of them. 

"Is Amy here? " I asked surprised. 

"No, she is not, she's with Marian but you'll see her tomorrow. " Farlan said and started driving. 

"Will she come to the funeral?" I asked shocked. 

"That's up to you, isn't it? "

"I guess you're right. " I sighed and rubbed my eyes. I was too tired and as excited as I was about seeing her I didn't want to to think about it right now. "I'll think about it later, now I want to see my mom. "

"Yeah, that will take a while though.  "

"Why don't you try and relax until then?" Isabel smiled at me and I nodded. 

I really wanted to close my eyes but first I needed to text my brat, I'm sure she is worried. Because my shitty flight it took an extra hour to get here. So I pulled out my phone and quickly texted her saying I arrived and that I'm going home. She quickly replied telling that I could call her at any time if I needed to talk to her, at that I found myself holding back a smile again.

However once I closed my eyes all I could think about was the funeral tomorrow. I really didn't want to go... That would make it too real.

"Hi mom. " she smiled hugging me, her eyes were puffy, probably from crying. 

"Hi Levi. I missed you. " she squeezed me. 

"Mom it's only been a month. " I mumbled into her shoulder. For being so smaller than me she sure as hell was strong. 

"I don't care if it's even been a day. " I patted her head and she squeezed me even more. 

I knew she wasn't going all out though... 

"Damn it Kuchel, leave the brat alone. " I heard the rusty voice of my uncle and I looked up to see him. 

He was smiling showing his teeth, playing with his knife, I swear he was wearing exactly the same thing as the day I left. 

"Did you never changed clothes? " I asked pulling away from my mom. "That's disgusting. "
