Porcelain : Levi x Reader (Royal AU)

☼ (Kingdoms, Royals, and Opulence) ☼

☾ Forced to marry into the Royal Yeager family to secure peace in your own country, you'll have to deal with politics, death, adultery, and much more. But there's one person, whose stony glare and distant personality invades your thoughts as he guards you day and night. Is this forbidden romance worth the betrayal of your countries' allegiance? ☽

"Levi, is there even a small part of you that wants to be with me?"

Levi who's always so thoughtful in his replies, who constantly weighs his words before answering anyone doesn't hesitate at all in his heartbreaking reply, "No," He watches as your face goes from despair to anger to completely blank in the span of only a few seconds but he continues his verbal assault, "Not one part."

To you, it's as if Levi had toyed with your heart in an unimaginable way. You hadn't expected him to love you, but you had begun to believe that you guys had something, anything. You had made the mistake of handing this man your glass heart and placing it into his callous hands.

At his words, as if like a scene playing in a movie you watched as his hands which had once covered your heart protectively, began to slowly separate, letting the organ fall into the gap created by his hands. In slow motion, it heads for the floor at incredible speed and you wish that he would use his fast reflexives to catch it, to say that he was only telling you these words because he couldn't bring himself to tell you how he truly felt.

But he doesn't, he just stares at you with that same blank stare he always has on his face and he makes no attempt as your heart crashes to the floor. It shatters into a million pieces in front of both of you, and a sad smile makes its way onto your face.

How silly of you to believe that someone else would catch your fall. How asinine to trust your heart to another when you were porcelain.
