Back in the underground, Levi would have sold every spark of his soul for immortality. Feelings, emotions, and even love – all those things Levi didn’t need, he would’ve given them for a small, bloody bite of freedom. Anything to be invincible.
Then a man led him into war, and Levi drank more blood and tears to barely survive than he would have paid for immortality. Yet, when the morning sun painted golden peace on the man’s face, sleep still caught in the wrinkles around his eyes and the gray shadow of his hair, Levi didn’t wish to never die again.
He just wished to die by his side, listening to the last beats of their battle-scarred hearts. Erwin opened his eyes, blinking at him in surprise as a smile flashed over his thin lips. ‘Yes,’ Levi though as he leaned down to kiss him, curling himself around the man’s body as they hid away from the world in their tiny cottage, surrounded by trees that were just The Forest now – ‘yes,’ Levi thought. One day their hearts would stop beating together.
But until then, they had many mornings of golden light ahead.
