Life Is Too Quick (LevixEren One Shot)

Life Passes By

"We did it!" Connie yelled at the top of his lungs as he rode away from the ruins that were once our protector.

"The titans are gone! We are victorious!" Jean yelled as he swung with his 3d maneuver gear.

'We finally ended it all." Mikasa said quietly riding her horse beside Sasha, who was laughing.

"Yeah, we did." I glanced at the ground as my horse walked behind. "I just wish he was here." I felt a tear slip down my cheek.

"Eren, it wasn't your fault. You didn't mean to and-" Mikasa was trying to cheer me up but Armin had interrupted her.

"Guys! The ocean!" He screamed and started running his horse, his blond hair bouncing everywhere.

"Let's go." I said and kicked my own horse on, everyone following in suit.

        We arrived there in less than 10 minutes. Armin jumped off his horse and ran straight to the water, allowing himself to be engulfed by the pale green fluid that has been waving in. Everyone soon joined him, except for me. I saw a high cliff over in the distance and made my way to it. I saw a figure sitting at the edge and stopped. Who was that? I should go.

"Brat don't walk away." His cold voice stopped me in my tracks. 

"Heichou? Y-You're-" My voice shook as much as my body.

"Just come here." His hand motioned for me to sit beside him at the edge. I slowly crept forward and shrank beside him until I was sitting as well.

"We made it." I whispered. "We saw the ocean."

"Yeah, we did." He sighed out.

"I- I'm sorry for what I did. B-but you didn't kill me. You said you would." I looked at my hands which had been pulled together in my lap. 

"I couldn't. I knew what you were doing, but I couldn't do it myself." He breathed out and looked over at the never ending blue horizon. 

"I fucking ripped you in half! I- I j-just did it! They didn't even punish me!" I screamed out at him. "How could you break your promise to humanity?" My fists were now balled and I felt warm tears streaming down my tears. 

"Eren." I looked away. "Eren, look at me." He took his hand and made me face him, it felt so real. It felt like I was dreaming. "I kept my promise to you. I promised that you'd be safe and live your dream." 

"But... I didn't want to live it without you." I whispered and looked into his piercing silver eyes.

"Please try." He leaned in and kissed me. "Promise me you'll be safe." He whispered and pulled away.

I threw my arms over his neck and squeezed him against me. "I promise Levi. I promise I'll be okay and I know I will. You can go on now, I'll be there when the time is right." I whispered back.

"Thank you Eren." He looked at me on more time. "I love you brat." He began to fade into the air, slowly and was then gone.

"I love you too." I said into the light breeze that had come. "Thank you for letting me live."

"Eren!" I heard Mikasa scream at me. "What are you doing alone up here with your arms held weird?" I put my hands at my sides again. 

"Uh, nothing. Forget it." I replied and stood numbly.

"I'm sorry about him Eren, I really am." She came over and hugged me. Her black hair blew with eh breeze and tickled my ears as she did so.

"I know, but he would've wanted me to move on." I sighed. "So I will. I'll be okay." I repeated to her what I had told him.
