So this is kind of an open starter, kind of a drabble, if anyone wants to use this to start a thread - by all means, reply :3 Under read more cause kind of a spoiler from the manga.
What had all of this been for? These years of slavery, protecting humanity, fighting... fighting the one thing he was trying to protect. He should've seen it coming, he should've known that all along, these Titans were in fact, humans. Of course, Eren and Annie were also humans that could turn into such a thing, so why did none of them figure it out sooner? Levi was more than capable of looking after himself in the world, and if he wasn't generally needed here, then he could move elsewhere, start fresh.. a new life.
Packing a bag of a few necessities, the Corporal felt a heavyweight on his shoulders, as if he were letting everyone down, giving up. Though, wasn't this how everyone else was feeling right now? It was only a matter of time until everyone knew. Personally, he just wanted out, he didn't know where he would go or what he would do, perhaps with the money earned he could just retire.
Sighing to himself he quickly scribbled a note for Eren, knowing he would no doubt see it when he next decided to visit his boyfriend.
Eren, I'm sorry, this.. Us, it was never really going to work out. This was what I was afraid of, I thought this would be over if you were to perish in battle, but instead, I'm the one retreating. I want to start a new life, a clean slate, and I'm sorry but that doesn't include you.
I love you and I will always love you.
With a small shrug of his shoulders, he threw his bag over his shoulders, head outside into the cold winters night, lit up a cigarette and smoked it on his way to the stables. Flicking the butt to one side, he chose the horse he usually rode, jumped on and trotted to the entrance of the camp. He glanced over his shoulders once more before galloping away into the night.
