Chapter 60

The End to New Beginnings

Things had not been the same since that day. Eren and Mikasa were thrown into prison for defying the Survey Corps and Armin spent his days sitting outside of their jail cell. Jean had gone to visit his mother while Sasha went to see her father and the rest of her village with Connie. Hanji had taken up the Suver Corps Commander title and Levi had become their second-hand.

All that was left was Miles and (Y/n). Miles didn't want to go back to help Historia, he didn't want to be apart from (Y/n) because she was like family. She didn't want to be far away from him either, they both needed each other more than ever. So they decided to stay close to each other.

Hanji had decided to create a small garden near the horse stables of the Survey Corp's headquarters and assigned Miles as the primary caretaker of the garden. They mainly did this so Miles and (Y/n) could convert their depressed moods into something productive. Levi sometimes would join them when he had free time.

He had barely any time for (Y/n). He was always traveling and running around trying to run errands for Hanji or organize his paperwork. He was just too busy and he felt guilty. He wanted to be there for (Y/n), but his duty forced him to be away from her for most days. (Y/n) didn't complain though, she understood the importance of his position.

She trails figures in the dirt with a stick out of boredom. Yeah, she liked tending to the garden, but she found it too repetitive and since Hanji forced it upon, it made her like it even less. A hand takes the stick away from her and wacks her in the head with it.

Her nostrils flare as her mood turns sour, and she looks up to see who had wacked her. Levi looks down at her before crouching to squat next to her, "You seem bored."

"Seem?" she sarcastically replies as her tensed body relaxes.

"You are bored," he corrects himself. His head tilts downwards to examine the figures she was drawing. One of them was a heart with multiple hearts inside. another was a sunflower, and then the other was a house. A sweet smile forms on his face at the childish drawings.

"What are you smiling at?" she asks cocking her head to the side to stare at his face. 

He turns his face towards her, leaning into her face, and placing a gentle kiss on her cheek. He moves away from her face to witness the flustered expression, "Nothing, you're just cute."

"I-" she barely says, still flustered by how sweet he had just been. They had been dating for a few months now and he had never ever been so sweet with her. It made her heart flutter and her stomach twist. 

A sly smirk forms on his face before cupping her cheeks and peppering her face with small kisses, each one making her heart skip a beat. He presses his lips onto hers in a sweet, sensitive kiss and breaks away. Once again, she was left speechless. 

"You're so cute," he whispers and stands up. He reaches out his hand for her to take and he pulls her up to stand, "We have to go to Trost, a certain brat is getting out of jail and we've been called by her bratty majesty."

(Y/n) couldn't help, but smile at hearing Levi say the word 'brat', "Is there one person in this world who you didn't think was a brat?"

"Hm..." Levi ponders for a second, his mind envisions Erwin and Petra, but sadly they were both gone, "Not really."

"Who do you think is the least bratty?" she asks him as they both begin walking towards the building.
