28

Y/N POV
I made eye contact with Levi and it was almost as if I could feel his feelings. His eyes revealed shock along with other indescribable emotions, but I couldn't keep eye contact for long.

"y/n." Was all he managed to say and with the corner of my eye I could see his hands travelled to the metal bars of the cell separating us. Almost reminded me of when Armin pressed his face on the window's metal bars.

I didn't realized that he had reached out to touch my hand until the guard pulled me away.

"Please, I just want to talk to her. Alone." Levi begged.

I made eye contact with Hange. "Do you want to talk to him alone or do you want the guard to stay here?" Hange asked me.

"Yeah." I didn't care if we were left alone or the guard stayed. Hange could decide.
And they did. People could be horrible and do unforgivable things, but they will always have someone who cares for them and have their back no matter what. And Hange was that someone to Levi.
Hange signaled the guard to follow them and soon Levi and I were alone.

"I'm so sorry. I really love you, I don't know what got into me. The thought of losing you really drove me insane! I can't imagine living without you...."

"I'm having a daughter. I'll give her to my parents, when she's born, if she looks like you."
I forced myself to look at him in the eyes. "And I'm killing myself in a few months."

"Don't kill yourself please." He held my hand and I let him. He can go ahead and break it. I've been feeling depressed. The kind of depression that makes you feel nothing and nothing seems scary.
"Erwin decided to let me go back up." He spoke again but now his voice was like a whisper. So Hange and the guard wouldn't hear. "Because we're having an expedition tomorrow, and I'm humanity's strongest soldier. LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU!" His sudden shouting made me look from the ground to his face.

His grip on my hand turned tighter and he pulled me towards him. So close to him that I could feel his voice against my skin.
"I'm going up to the headquarters and you better be waiting for me near the bathrooms so that we can leave." He demanded.
Eye contact again. "You're mine and no one is going to separate us. Not even this damn prison. Not the other cadets. No one."
He reached out to touch my pregnant belly but I quickly freed myself from his grip. Taking a step away from him.

"Don't make me go look for you, y/n!" I could hear him shout as I walked away from him. His words brought me some kind of comfort, reminded me of the time we spent alone in that shed, but walking away from him made me feel powerful.

During lunch I sat with the group; Sasha, Connie, Jean, Mikasa who was only there because Eren, Eren, Ymir, and Krizta.
Of course, Annie wasn't there and Reiner and Berthold took her side. Only she and Armin know what the two of them had for her to hate me so much. For her to blame me for his death.

Armin wasn't there either. Armin only comes to me when I'm alone or on the verge of committing suicide. Armin wasn't there because he's dead.
But I tried not to think of that and attempted to listen to one of Sasha's funny training stories. Apparently Connie tripped today during training and they found that hilarious.
I listened to the group laugh, feeling Eren's hand stroke my hair and back whenever he noticed that I was too quiet or not laughing enough.

I zoned out Sasha's story as I placed a piece of bread in my mouth. My eyes stopped on Levi who was standing by the cafeteria's entrance, wearing a scout regiment uniform and all. Hange stood next to him, talking to him, making sure he respected the protective order and didn't go anywhere near me, but his eyes scanned the cafeteria. Looking for me.

I quickly excused myself from the group and ran out the back door of the cafeteria before being spotted by him.

I hid away in my room and cried while Armin consoled me and talked me out of suicide while hugging and kissing me, but maybe I was all talk about suicide and just wanted him to come to me and hold me so I wouldn't be alone.

When Levi walked into my room, hours later, Armin was already gone and I had come up with several conclusions; Eren was in love with me despite everything that happened, Armin was going to watch over me no matter what, and Levi wasn't going to let anything or anybody come between us.

Levi walked up to me and I expected him to hurt me by slapping me, breaking my foot, or to kill me on the spot.

"Ready to go, brat?" He asked but I avoided his cold stare as I turned to my bedroom's door. I expected for someone to miraculously walk in and notice Levi. Tell him that he wasn't supposed to be anywhere near me. For someone to walk in and protect me from the man who killed Armin.
But no one walked in.

"Do you want me to carry you?"
I nodded my head instinctively, I knew better than to cause a scene now that there were no metal bars separating him from me.

"We're finally going to be together. I will kill anyone who tries to take you from me." He assured me as he lifted me up in his arms. His sick words brought a sense of comfort. A comfort I despised but had no choice but to accept because Armin and Levi were the only people who could make the overwhelming want to kill myself go away.
