tw: blood, grief, death, gn! reader
Scarlet blood decorated your skin, imprinted like tattoo ink. It will take you days to scrub it out completely. The fade of crimson never truly disappears.
Each time you went on a mission you never really thought that it would be as god-awful as the last, and most of the time ā and most fortunately ā you were right.
But not this time.ļæ¼
This time, it was the worst of the worst. Unimaginable. As if the pits of hell collectively decided that out of all days, today would be the perfect time to unleash eternal damnation upon the entire corps.
Today, the universe chose to make you a witness to the most gruesome scenes ever known to the human eye and to let you live with it.
That was truly the worst kind of punishment.
The punishment of being the lucky few who survived after seeing the rampages of hell. The so-called lucky ones who have yet to fully comprehend what they have been through and face immediate backlash from hundreds when returning to the walls. It was only then that you understood the idea that survival was possibly the next thing worse than death.
Heads bowed, a deep sea of dark green cloaks was all the eye could see on the return home. Bodies numb and battered, stomachs empty and nauseous, mental state shattered and fragile, this is all that is left of the Survey Corps.
The contact between each otherās eyes was how communication flowed. After a tragedy like this, only a set of weary eyes could portray the answers to the unspoken questions. In silence, the poor numbers of survivors trailed one after the other, the optimism once held in these hearts were now killed by the fate of the world.
Knuckles tight, your hands gripped the reins of your horse. Your limbs shook, unable to cope with the amount of grief and trauma that you had just seen. It was unbearable, having to go through it time and time again, mission after mission, hope after hope that this time would be the last time that you would see your comrades die.
You donāt think youād ever reach that point. Internally, you had already decided that this would be the last time. You were done.
Silently, you disappeared from the small crowd. And after tying up your horse in the stable, you slipped away not caring to be present for a register. The worn soles of your boots thunder as you walk down the soulless corridor, cold and empty, only now coming to life.
Making a sharp turn, you meet the closed door of your office. Bloodstained hands meet the cold doorknob and you twist with all the strength that you have in your own drained body to get the door open. You only manage to take a few steps forward before collapsing on your office floor. Like the rest of the headquarters, itās cold and empty, and thereās already a stack of papers on your table ready to be signed.
For the first minute or two, you realize that you have no energy to cry, instead choosing to slump on the ground, your body melting into the floor.
Itās only a matter of time before it all sinks in. The visions and raw images race back into your mind like a film scene rolling before your eyes. Before you know it your eyes are watering and youāre unable to stop the tears from flowing. Neither are you able to suppress the deep cry inside you. Hands shaking, you canāt stop, like you're not even in control of your own body. You canāt stop no matter how hard you try.
Forcing yourself to take in a breath, the tears only pause momentarily before flowing all over again.
You donāt even know how long heās been there. You never really noticed your office door open or even hear his steps. Wiping away at your blurry eyes was when you found him there, right there in front of you. He was a splitting image of you. Bloodstained and exhausted.
Inaudibly, heās beside you on the ground, his nimble, cold fingers gently holding the tips of yours. His face is filled with immediate concern on how much youāre currently shaking, and soon he unbuttons his own cape and wraps it around you, the warmth of it already doing wonders.
Coming to a sudden yet much needed halt, your body has run out of tears. Eyes red, skin patchy, head throbbing, your body has nothing left in you. Miserably, you sit, shaking your head slowly as you hiccup. Leviās hand slowly rubs circles into your back. Pathetically you rub your eyes one more time, skin irritated by the amount of contact.
āI canātāā
It merely comes out as a whisper, your throat dry and croaky. It takes you a few times to swallow before you can repeat yourself a little louder.
āI canāt do it.ā
Levi raises a brow, his concern never once left his face, not even for a minute. āCanāt do what?ā
āThis.ā you mumble, raising your hands. āThey say that after the worst you canāt do it anymore, that itāll break you and maybeā maybe this is it, because I canāt do this anymore.ā Your voice wobbles before the end, breaking off as a new set of fresh tears reach your waterline.
āDonāt say that.ā
āItās true!ā you exclaim, āIām finished. I canāt keep doing this anymore, Levi. How many people do I have to watch die in front of me before we can reach freedom? Itās like a fucking nightmare I canāt wake up from, and just when I start to get hope, just that tiniest spark of hope inside me, it just fucking dies and I end up with nothing, I end up with nothing, Levi.ā
āYou donāt have nothing.ā He begins, his tone quiet and gentle with you. āYou have your squad andāā
āAnd so what? One day Iāll lose them too and you know it. I canāt keep pretending that Iām strong enough for this, I canāt do it. Iāmāā You shut your eyes, tilting your head upwards. The words leave your lips in a whisper. āIām just so fucking tired of this.ā
He gets it. He really and truly does understand where youāre coming from. Even when it feels like nobody understands, he gets it. Because at one point in his life, he had reached that conclusion too.
Levi swallowed thickly letting the silence creep back in after your words. His eyes were casted downwards, searching for an answer, anything to comfort you. It took a few moments before he was ready to say something.
āI know I donāt have the answer, none of us do, and trust me, weāre all tired. Every single one of us. Every single day everyone wakes up and thinks, āwhy am I doing this?ā āWhy did I choose this path, this endless path of not knowing if Iāll make it to tomorrow?ā But the thing isā¦we have no choice but to keep going.ā
Levi paused for a second. ā I know it doesnāt seem like it but little by little we are making progress. With each and every mission we are coming back with new information and intel in which we didnāt know about before. In fact, I bet you Hange will storm your office tomorrow with something new that they found.ā
His words coax out a subtle smile out of you, you could just imagine that happening.
āThat is why we do it, so we can get new information, to discover shit that we havenāt even thought about yet. It is a sacrifice but no one who steps foot into the Survey Corps isnāt aware of that.ā
Levi took a deep sigh, watching as your tears slow down your cheeks. You felt his exhale of air reach your skin. A reminder he was here, right here with you.
āKeep going, ā He tells you, gently. āFor me at least. For us.ā
It was possibly the most selfish thing that he had ever asked for in his entire lifetime and the first selfish thing he had asked for but he knew that this was your breaking point.
If he couldnāt get you to promise him this, then there was no hope left for you. Just this once he needed to be selfish and it was all a no brainer for him if it meant saving you in the long run.
His hands cup your face, bloodstained and all. Because of your own blurry eyes you couldnāt catch the way that his eyes welled up.
āPromise me this one thing.ā He mumbled. āPromise youāll keep going for me.ā
āLeviāā
āPromise me.ā His voice grew loud all of a sudden, echoing off the walls of your quiet office. His tone was stern as if he was giving an order to his squad, the only difference wasā¦you could hear the fear in his voice.
He was only being strict on you because he was so afraid of losing you. That was his own breaking point. And if it ever came to that then that would be it. He wouldnāt be able to do it anymore. He wouldnāt know how to. Heād rather be sacrificed to the titans than ever imagine himself in a scenario like that.
You meet his eyes, fear evident in them. For him youāll do it. Whatever it takes.
āI promise.ā
āGood.ā his fingers steadily wiped away the trail of teardrops. āI wonāt ever let you down. You remember that, okay?ā
You nod, trusting him full heartedly without a second thought.
Again he was being selfish, guiding you down a path that could potentially lead to disaster, but it needed to be done, for the sake of saving you. Could it be something he will potentially regret in the near future?
He doesnāt know. No one does.
But for now, heās willing to do whatever it takes to keep you by his side.
