Mikasa and Levi talks before they reach Odiha
Mikasa's heavy eyelids slowly flutters open, her half gaze catching a seagull flying past the round window.
She shifts slightly and remembers the presence next to her. Mikasa lifts her head from his shoulder and leans back on the wall "How long did i slept?"
"Long enough. It's fine, we're still far from Odiha." Levi answers, his tone groggy, as if he's only just woken up himself.
How long ago has she earned herself some good sleep? Months, maybe even years.
She's killed. Enemies, friends, sometimes she can't tell the difference. Someone like her doesn't deserve a good sleep.
She turns to him, the bandages obscured most of his face but she can see the heavy bag underneath his eye, and the way his eyebrow is pinching slightly. He's in pain.
He had to kill his own squad.
Levi looks at her from the corner of his eye. She faces away.
"I chose not to wear it."
Silence engulfs them. She thinks she would never get used to the sounds of the ocean.
She hears shuffles outside their door, they're almost arriving.
"I lost him a long time ago. we all did..but i didn't realize it sooner," She brings her legs to her chest "i was clinging to the hopes that he was still there."
"Maybe he is," his voice resonates her, "what will you do then?"
"I won't know until it happens." Her legs falls again, and she moves to leave the bed but his voice stops her.
"I know i should've said this a long time ago," she turns to him as he speaks, and they finally face each other.
"when all of this is over..come back to me."
He squeezes her hand that was intertwined with his since the beginning. She looks down.
Their hands lay in the middle.
She smiles wistfully, Levi looks away. she might be crying, but she's afraid to find out.
She could feel it, deep within her. That feeling she thought she would never get to know again.
A/N; i noticed their relationship has always been subtle but definitely there. I imagine this is how their conversation would go. Only brief words but lots of feelings involved. Levi would wait until the war is over before they could really talk, he doesn't say "Don't die." Because he trust that she'll survive. The scarf part is foreshadowing "I chose not to wear it" meant she had chosen and came to terms that Eren could never be. And Levi telling her to come back to him implies she still has something to fight for. At the end ,she still has him. They have each other.
