Chapter 20

_________________________Levi's POV____________________________

We were following the sounds of crying. While we did all I could think was 'She has suffered so much, and its all because of humans. How can she be so happy and cheery now, after everything she's been through? Of all the tortures brought upon her just because she wanted to live and have friends and family?'

I continued to think these kinds of thoughts, until I saw (F/N), she looked exactly like she did when she was six.

"Go away." She murmured.

"And, why would we do that?" I heard Ayame say gently.

"Because, nobody wants to be around a monster." (F/N) said.

"That's not true, you aren't a monster!" I heard Lola shout.

"LIES!!! ALL LIES!!!" (F/N) shouted.

" No, it isn't if it were lies then why would we come all the way here to get you?" Maynard said.

"Because, your just like them! You say that you want to be my friend, but as soon as I let my guard down you'll betray me! Just like everyone else!" (F/N) shouted, but she is no longer a six year old, instead she looks exactly like she does today.

My temper flared as I took a step forward.

"You fucking brat, I thought you made a promise to me that you would return back home alive and well, and I expect you to keep that promise, even if I have to break every fucking bone in your body and drag you out of here!" I shouted.

"Yeah, didn't you make a promise that you and I would see the ocean together? I also expect you to keep that promise!" Armin shouted.

"Yeah, you also said that you would teach me new moves in hand-to-hand combat. I want you to keep that promise to me!" Eren shouted.

"You also promised that you would do everything in your power to protect me, Reiner, and Annie, how would you do that stuck in a place like this." Bertholdt said.

"You also promised that you would make different kinds of foods for me and you to enjoy together." Sasha said.

"You also said that you would teach me some awesome pranks later." Connie said.

"You also said that you would help me with something important. I want you to keep that promise to me." Mikasa said.

"You said that you would train us in order for us to get stronger. How are we going to do that if you aren't there?" Annie said.

"And don't forget about me, you said that you could help me with becoming an acceptable leader. After all, you said that I have the potential to. How are you going to help me with that if your here?" Jean said.

"SO YOU SEE, WE ALL WANT YOU TO CAME BACK WITH US, AS SOMEONE WHO IS AN IMPORTANT COMRADE TO US!!!!!! Everyone shouted together.

"B-but, what if I hurt s-someone again?" (F/N) asked while tears poured from her eyes.

"Then, I guess I have no choice, but to kick your sorry ass!" I shouted.

"Pfft, still as blunt as always Levi." She said in a shaky tone.

"And besides you could always heal us, right? I mean your not as weak as before you are a very strong person now." I continue to say.

"T-thank y-you, everyb-body. I-I'll put t-trust in y-you g-guys and I-I'll keep my p-promises now and in the f-future." (F/N) said still crying.

"All right! Well let's get going!" Hanji said.

As soon as Hanji said this everything turned white, everyone closed their eyes when the light became to bright.

When I opened my eye again, we were in the infirmary, and (F/N) was awake still crying, but she was giving all of us the biggest smile anyone has ever seen.

__________________________Your POV____________________________

"(F/N)!!! Hanji shouted and got her in a bone-crushing hug.

"H-Hanji.....c-can't........breath" You say trying to pull yourself away.

"O-oh, sorry (F/N)." Hanji apologizes.

Everyone starts laughing at the odd spectacle that they were watching.

"I-I'm sorry, everyone. I thought that you guys would hate me after w hat you saw and for that I-" Before you could finish you were interrupted.

"You have nothing to be sorry about. After all, its what friends do, right?" Eren says and smiles.

Your eyes widen at the statement he made, and you begin to laugh while tears of happiness stream down your face.

"Y-yeah, your right." You finally manage to say. Akame finally walk up to you, her bangs covering her eyes. As she stands there, she mutters something that you couldn't hear.

"Sorry, what was that?" You ask.

"I said I'm sorry for everything I've done." Akame mutters.

You'r eyes widen a bit as you hear your older sister apologizes. You begin to laugh.

"W-what's so funny! I'm trying to be serious here!" Akame shouts.

"I-Its nothing. I just never thought that the most stubborn person in the world would apologize." You say tying to stifle your laughter.

Akame raises her hand and punches you hard enough that you fall off the bed.

"Ow, what was that for!" You shout.

"Oh, I dunno maybe for being a total psycho!" Akame shouts and Maynard, Lola, and Ayame freeze and start backing away very slowly.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Eren asks.

"D-don't ask, just run!!" Maynard yells before dashing out of the room with Ayame, and Lola close behind leaving everyone to wonder what they're so afraid of. However, when they turned around all questions were answered.

They could practically see the menacing aura around you.

"Fine, you want a psycho, then you got one." You say darkly before getting up from the bed.

"Oh, and what are you going to do about it psycho?" Akame asks.

"Oooh nothing. except this." You say as you brought your hand as far as you can back, forming it into a fist. You then punched Akame and she goes flying into the wall, however she doesn't stop she keeps going through wall after wall, that is until she reaches outside where a tree finally stops her.

Everyone sweat-drops as they all laugh nervously.

"W-well, I should get going, I have experiments to do!" Hanji shouts as she runs out of the infirmary.

"Yeah, I have paperwork to do." Erwin says as he too leaves quickly.

"Same here." Mike says before leaving.

"Y-yeah, we have cleaning and training to do, w-well catch you later (F/N)." Eren says as everyone leaves, and soon enough only you and Levi are left.

"Tch, your going to have to fix that, brat." Levi says.

"Yeah, Yeah, I know." You say and snap your fingers as all the walls are back to what they originally were.

"Oh, that's right you said you wanted to talk to me after the expedition." You say to Levi.

"That's right." He says rather bluntly.

"Weeell, what is it?" You ask.

"Just wait here a moment." He says before leaving the room. After a few minutes he's back and is holding something in his hand.

"Here." Levi says as he tosses you something. You easily catch it, and you look down to see what Levi gave you.

It was a simple silver bracelet, it didn't have any details on it, but that's what made you instantly like it.

"I saw that while I was in the market and thought you'd like it." Levi explains.

"Thank you so much, I love it!" You shout as you hug Levi tightly.

"Whatever." Levi said as you let go of him and instantly put the bracelet on your wrist.

"Also, I have something else to give you." Levi says.

"Oh, and what might that be?" You ask.

Levi walked up to you and formed a fist with his hand, he brought it up to your head and began rubbing the fist into your head, very hard at that.

"Ow,ow, ow,ow!" You shout.

Levi finally stops after a few minutes.

"What was that for!" You shout rubbing your head while tears prick the corner of your eyes.

"That was for breaking your promise of not worrying me." Levi says before walking out. You follow out behind him.

"Also, sorry." Levi mutters.

"For what?" You ask.

"For your past." He states simply.

"Levi." You called out and he stopped.

"Levi, do you know why I continue to act the way I do now?" You ask him and he shakes his head 'no'.

"Its because Makoto once told me that painful things happen, but he told me that even though the world may be cruel, its also very beautiful at the same time. I once looked at the world as an unforgiving place, and it still is, but that makes the things in this world so beautiful. I have learned to not focus on the negative things in life anymore. I want to live my life to the fullest. After all, every life must come to an end at some point, the only difference is if that life ends sooner or later than others. Even though I won't die others will, and I want to continue to live for them, and in order to do that I must live my life happily and keep them in my memories. Because, no one truly dies, they will always be with you, even if they aren't there physically. As long as I keep them in my memories they won't truly die. That is how I am still smiling today." You say to Levi.

Levi just looks at you in total shock and respect at what you said.

"Anyways, why don't we enjoy a nice hot cup of-" That's as far as you got before you tripped over your own feet and face-planting in the floor.

Levi whose just looked at you with new-found respect, now looks at you like the world's clumsiest person.

"Idiot." Levi says as he offers a helping hand towards you.

You gratefully take his hand and he pulls you up.

"Thanks." You say as you scratch the back of your head nervously, as your face turns red from embarrassment.

"Anyway, lets go to get that tea you want." Levi says as he walk away with you tailing behind smiling.

_________________________Mike's POV______________________________ 

  I was walking towards my office when I see someone standing in front of it. As I near I see that its Lola.

Lately, whenever I'm around her, it seems that I can't act like I normally do.

'I wonder why.' I thought.

As I get behind her, Lola seems to not have noticed.

'She seems nervous.' I thought.

"Do you need something?" I ask and I see her jump as she lets out a little yelp from being startled.

"M-M-Mike don't sneak up on me like that!" Lola shouts as she puffs out her cheeks in a pout.

"I didn't sneak up on you though, I was just walking to my office when I saw you there." I say.

"Y-yeah, well I wanted to say something to you privately." She says looking away.

"And that would be what?" I asked.

"Well, let me into your office and I'll tell you." She says in her usual sassy manner.

I let out a small sigh.

"Fine, just give me a minute." I say and unlocked the door, we both walked in.

"Okay, what's so important that you wanted to talk to me priva-" I stopped mid-sentence when I turn around and find her with tears rolling down her face.

"H-hey, what's wrong?" I asked worryingly.

"T-thank y-you for h-helping (F/N)." She says.

"I-its nothing to cry over." I say.

"Y-yes it is. Those three are like family to me. I w-wouldn't know w-what to do if I-I lost t-them." She managed to say in-between sobs.

I gave a soft smile as I pat her head like a child.

"I'm not a child." Lola says.

"Well you sure act like one." I reply back.

"N-not true!" she shouts.

I just start laughing.

"Quit laughing!" Lola shouts again.

"S-sorry, but its just that you say that, but what you just said was really childish." I say trying to stifle my laughter.

"Fine, if you won't stop then I'll make you." She says as she grabs the collar of my jacket and pulls my down into a kiss.

My eyes widen. She pulls back and smirks.

"See, that stopped your laughing." She says as her face turns a scarlet red.

"W-why did you do that?" I ask stuttering.

"Ehh, isn't it obvious by now?" She says and I just give a puzzled look.

"Its because I...Love...You." She says slowly as she walks out.

"Well, see ya~" she sings and closes the door behind her.

'She is an odd one, but I guess that's why I fell in love with her in the first place.' I thought as I sit at my desk to continue the rest of my paperwork.
