Chapter Text



Have you ever wondered…

…about Levi’s past?

“…. My cute prince.”

The scrawny little 10-year old boy with grey eyes and raven hair beamed.

Or his mannerisms?

She smirked, “He’s still a clean freak, huh.”

“Oh you mean he was this obsessed since before?”

“Well…”


For the first time…

… we learn about the two important women in Levi Ackerman’s life.

 

       One…
        … who shaped his past.

“Levi, remember what I told you?”

“Never trust, never talk.”

One…
…. who changed his future.

“You want to do it here then, love? My name’s (F/N) but you can call me anything you want.”

But when the ghosts of the past….

She was stopped abruptly by the force of Levi’s arm on her throat, shoving her against the wall.

“Where did you get that cloth?” Levi hissed.

(F/N)’s eyes narrowed.

“If you’re not going to pay, then fuck off,” she spat at Levi.

Levi’s arm dug further into her throat, almost cutting off her air supply.

“I’m not going to repeat myself.”

…. merges with the present…

(F/N) stared at Levi, looking at his features closely. Finally, she whispered, “So it’s you.”

It creates an opportunity…

The streets were deserted. Most people were still sleeping, and even the nightlife had ended. Levi treaded softly lest he attracted any unnecessary attention. When he neared the market, he surveyed the surrounding area for escape options and once he was satisfied that there were at least three routes that he could take, he stepped into the red building with the sign “Ripe and Ready”.

For change.

It had been 12 years – 12 years of not knowing what had happened – and now, he finally had a hint; a small glimpse of what had unraveled that fateful day which changed his life. And he was determined to uncover the whole truth, by whatever means necessary.

“Help me find those bastards.”

“With pleasure.”

But is it a change for the better?

Their hands were intertwined, locked in mutual understanding. There was no exchange of words for it was unnecessary. A simple gaze was all it took to convey their deepest emotions.

… Or for the worse?

“Promise me… that you won’t die.”

“I can’t.”

No one knows.

Something in her voice or the way her lips curled downwards in a firm, resolute way caused Levi to stop mid-way. He wasn’t sure why he was letting her do this but somewhere deep down, he understood her reasons.

“Fine,” he replied. “But in the future, we do this together.”

She smiled a little and looked at him. “Sure.”

 

             

Levi… the only thing I ask of you is this…

             When the time comes….I trust you to do the right thing.

                Please…. My love.
