Death Can Wait (Levi x Reader)

Prologue

Something as mysterious as death can never be understood by the human mind. We are naturally drawn to it, inevitable, slow, and maybe even painful. Beautiful in its cruelty and appalling when you expect it the least.

Just like love.

I never understood ... Why do we have to live?

There hasn't been a single day in my life which I could say I enjoyed. Well, maybe there were a few moments. When I used to enjoy living alone and drink a cup of tea every morning but now I have lost all passion for my interests. I lost it a very long time ago and the feeling of happiness was forgotten.

And as I look down at the lake, I saw the movement of water underneath me as I stood on top of a small wooden bridge. I couldn't help but feel the need to jump.

It was scary, but the more I thought about it, the more I think death it's comforting. Maybe it's sweet, maybe it's not painful. It will be instant.

Jumping into the lake won't kill me. After all, the lake's bridge is really small in height and it was made so people could pass to the other side.

But the lake was pretty deep, so tying up a heavy rock around my foot with a rope should do the trick.

Suffocation wasn't the best way to go, maybe I should have tried cutting myself in the bathroom. But once again, I don't want anyone to be traumatized by seeing my dead body in the bathtub. Especially my old apartment tenant who would be the only one to check on me.

I don't want anyone to find my body, it will be easier that way. Hopefully, everyone at school will think that I just disappeared.

Just disappear.

"Janitor Levi, can you come to clean something at the gym? Someone threw up."

It was always like this. Every day, Levi would wake up and head to work at a local high-school. Kids weren't his forte, but the money he received for cleaning was enough to sustain him. It was disgusting, the vomit but he liked cleaning, so he guessed that the job was ok.

"Have you met the new art teacher?"

"Yes! She's really cool, finally, we will learn something worthy in that class,"

"Yes, she will also be our new dance coach!"

Teenagers ... Levi doesn't remember ever been so frivolous in his younger years. At that age, kids think that highschool is everything and is so romanticized that they believe that their entire lives will depend on how well they do in high-school.

Well, at least he was done cleaning the vomit. The gym was pretty quiet around this time. There was no class and after a few hours of putting wax on the wooden floor of the basketball court, he thought that maybe he could take a cigarette break.

"Ah, you dropped the soda!"

"Shit, whatever it's ok. The janitor will clean it up,"

At the sound of the soda falling down and touching the clean floor, Levi turns his head to see two girls looking down at the spilled soda.

"Hey! Cock sucker, come clean this shit up!"

And with that, the two girls left as they giggled at each other.
