It had been approximately two weeks since Levi Ackerman broke your heart into a million singular pieces.
You all dated for one year, and then bam, he dumped you out of the blue. It had been hard, recovering from that.

You had neglected your duties as a captain, locked away in your room. People had tried to get you out, but the only person you wanted didn't care.
You sighed, turning over.

No showers, food, new clothes, nothing for days on end. Soon there would be your meeting with the Queen for your medals, but you could care less. You had lost a significant amount of weight, and you were now too small for your clothes.
The depression set it early. You still loved him, and would be willing to take him back. Unfortunately, he didn't want that.

He had said it was pointless to be in a relationship when your life was risked everyday, and that if we were meant to be, we would meet each other in a different life. It broke your heart, and everyone knew it.
Hanji knew first. They tried to comfort you, they even sat outside of your door and read you books sometimes.

A knock was heavy on your door, it pounded rudely; making you jump.
"Go away." You said, coldly. The knock was heard again, even harder. For the first time you actually got up, opening the door to find cadet Armin standing before you. He looked scared, soft, but sweet.
Your eyes softened.

1st pov:

"Please c-come out, it's been two weeks..We need you Captain (F/N).." His words were gentle. My eyes felt heavy, as did my heart. I flew my arms forward and hugged him closely, I probably smelled horrible. He hugged me back, though.

The next day I would get up and shower, readying myself for facing everyone. I had to be presentable, stoic, and professional. Like what had happened didn't hurt me, even though I knew as soon as his face met mine I would have to hold myself together.
Armin promised to stay by my side until we go to receive medals tomorrow, which I thanked him for. Today we would be training cadets on how to accept medals and the due process.

Hanji slipped a run down of each day under my door, along with paper work I did while in bed. The only thing I had missed was being present in person, which did not account for anything, really.
My uniform fit tight after receiving a new one. My new figure was proper, I still had large legs and a large bum, most of that was muscle. I liked the body I had now.

Confidently, shedding myself of any emotion, I walked out into the hallway to meet Armin. When walking out his jaw dropped a little, observing the new, post-heart break captain he had never met. I smiled and began, "Let's get to breakfast, then." He nodded and we made our way.

Once there, everyone had been looking at me. I could hear whispers, faint sayings of my name, perverted stares; all of it. My outside and inside told two different stories. On the inside I wanted to cry, run away, and bury my face back into my home of pillows. On the outside, I looked strict and confident, sure not to tarnish what I had created.

I sat with Armin by my side, along with Erwin, whom had many questions about my well being.
I felt it, when he walked in. I could feel his stare burn into my back while men surrounded me. I wanted to cry. Then, I saw his face when he turned. He had been looking at me in 'awe', I guess from the weight loss. I kept my eyes glued forward, keeping my head in the conversation with Erwin, Armin, and Hanji, all whom vowed to be with me until I felt better.

The day had finally come. We would be accepting medals.

My anxiety was out of the roof for more than one reason. Number one being the man I was in love with who no longer shared those feelings, and seeing Histora as the queen for the first time.

I dressed in my traditional female captains uniform* (as pictured above corresponding to the outfit Levi has on). It was a tight dress with a slit, boots, and a cloak to match. It partnered the male captain uniforms. Although, I wish it didn't.
I made my way through the halls, catching the eye of many male cadets. I waved it off as hormones, then began into the Leader Quarters, where all of us were set to meet before we left.

Upon arrival I had been met with Hanji fiddling around with Levi's tie, messing it up horribly. I had been the only one in the leaders who could tie a tie.
Once entering completely, I realized Erwin wasn't here yet. Hanji's eyes lit up when they saw me, "Ah! (F/N) would you do this for me? I need to go fetch Erwin! Thank you!" Then, they left.

It almost felt deliberate. Leaving us alone like this, Erwin was always punctual. I brushed away the thought and came up to him. Neither of us made eye contact as I reached to the tie, doing it slowly.
I then pulled the slipknot up, "Is that too tight?" I asked, my voice shaking. He nodded no.
I let go and began to turn when he grabbed my wrist, jerking me back.

"I'm sorry. I'm so, so very sorry." His words were breaking at my ears, falling onto the ground. I turned to see him, eyes glossy. Levi pulled me close to him, hugging me. I stood in shock, shaking worse than I had previously.

"I d-dont know what you are referring to, Captain Levi." My words were a failed attempt to sound unaffected. He scoffed and brought my head into his hands, now looking into my eyes.
"Stop with the formalities, (F/N). I know I hurt you. That wasn't my intention." His face was closer to my own, I could feel his breath; it was hot and smelled of black tea.

"I care for you. I love you. I only wanted what was best for us, and for you to not have to worry for me," He began, rubbing the new tears away from my eyes. "I see I was wrong, and, I'm sorry. Please." His lips now crashed into mine, pulling my soul away and interlocking it with his once more. My world spun around into fantastical circles while he did so, his hand finding my hair and petting me slightly.

I relaxed into his grasp, our tears were touching, as were our tongues. I felt up and down the body I missed, as he did for me. When pulling away I looked into his eyes and saw hopeful sorrow, something I had never seen in his grey orbs.
I cupped his face wordlessly, pushing our noses slightly together.

"Walls, I love you too, Levi. Please give me time to recover; but yes, I accept your apology." His eyes lit up and he death hugged me, a grip I had never felt before. Tight, longing. We stood this way until the door opened, both Hanji and Erwin walking in.

"I told you it would work, blondie!" They kicked out, fist bumping the tall commander. He smirked, then, walked over to us. "Glad to have you back, love birds."
