Chapter Text
"(Y/n), come here. I want you to meet someone," Erwin said, warmly smiling at me. I smiled back at the man and walked over to his side. In front of us stood an older gentleman, holding a glass of whiskey; he was bald and had a grey mustache just above his upper lip. I smiled at him as Erwin spoke up, "(Y/n), this is Dot Pixis, he owned the company before I took it over last year. Mr. Pixis, this is my fiancée, (Y/n)." Erwin concluded and I extended my arm out to the older male.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Pixis," I said. The man took hold of my hand and brought it up to his lips, giving it a peck.
"Pleasure is all mine, Ms. (L/n)," he said slightly slurring his words as he let go of my hand, "What a lovely engagement party. The alcohol is very good as well," he continued as he looked around the expensive venue.
"Thank you for coming, Mr. Pixis. We hope that you enjoy yourself," Erwin said to the bubbly man. The blonde quickly averted his gaze back to me, "Come on, there's still someone I would like you to meet," Erwin put his large hand on the small of my back leading me through the crowd of our family and friends. I admired the features of my husband-to-be as we walked through the crowd. Erwin was a successful business man and my life with him was more than comfortable. We lived in a mansion, my jewelry box was full of diamonds, and Erwin made sure to bring flowers for me every friday. He was the perfect man...
As Erwin and I walked through the crowd I admired the expensive interior, the room was decorated with fancy high tables, that held beautifully arranged flowers, with people standing around them as they conversed and drank. Waiters in black suits walked around serving hors devours to the guests with smiles on their faces. An orchestra was situated on a small stage playing classical music on violins and cellos, making the already expensive venue look even fancier.
"Erwin, you really went out of your way for this engagement party..." I said and frowned my brows, "We could have planned a small get together at our house instead..."
"Nonsense. Anything for my beautiful bride to be," Erwin said and sent me a wink making me giggle.
We approached the bar area where a rather shorter male with dark brunette hair stood. As if feeling my gaze on his back, he turned around, making my world stop. I knew those piercing grey eyes and that deadpan look anywhere. That was my dead boyfriend. His eyes scanned the hall and stopped as he noticed my frame moving closer to him.
“Erwin.” Levi curtly greeted us as soon as we were within ears reach, not at all surprised to see me.
"(Y/n)... I would like you to meet my best man-" Erwin started, but I cut him off.
"Levi..."
Then...
I lay on the large bed in one of Levi's button-up shirts. My cheek was pressed against his bare chest while he slightly leaned up against the headboard with one of his arms wrapped around my body, caressing my waist. His other hand was intertwined with mine as I played with his rough fingers.
I loved moments like these... They were so pure and perfect; it made my heart fluttered as I realized this was the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, he was the perfect one for me. My actions suddenly came to a halt as my hand was pulled up towards my lovers face. His rough lips pecked my fingers one by one making me smile at the gesture. Grey eyes gazed down at me when he finished his act of love and when he let go of my hand, I ran it down his toned chest and came to a halt on his hard abdomen.
"(Y/n)..." he said in that deep sexy voice making a shiver go up my spine.
"Hmmm?" I hummed and smiled at him.
"I love you, princess," he said and tucked a piece of loose hair behind my ear.
"I love you too, Levi," I said gazing at the male lovingly.
"Say it again."
"I love you, Levi." I repeated the words that were only reserved for him, making him smile. This side of him looked so beautiful, yet it was so rare. I had to enjoy it whenever I could.
"Come here," Levi said as he grabbed my face with his hand and made me stretch my body up to capture his lips with mine. It was a quick peck, followed by another, "You're so beautiful, (Y/n)," he said and placed another peck on my awaiting lips. I pushed my body up from the comfortable position and went to straddle Levi. I used my arms to prop myself above his body as my head leaned down to his face, giving him a proper kiss. Levi propped himself up on one arm raising his body from the mattress. His other hand went to rest on my hip, squeezing it ever so lightly during the kiss. My arms no longer needed to support my weight, so I let my hands travel to caress my lovers face as we continued our kiss.
"Mmmm..." I moaned against Levi's lips as his skilled muscle asked for entrance to my mouth. He slightly smirked at the sound. I leaned my body closer to his and granted him entrance. His large hands caressed my almost naked butt that was only covered in black lacy underwear, indicating that he was satisfied with my choice of letting him get his way.
"Hey, Levi, we have to-" came a voice from the door to our room that was unexpectedly opened. We quickly pulled away from one another and looked at the intruder.
"Piss off Farlan, I'm in the middle of something," Levi said and fully sat up, with me still situated on his lap. The blonde male had a smirk on his face, showing no embarrassment about walking in on a sensual encounter.
"As much as I love hearing (Y/n) screaming your name at two in the afternoon... I have some bad news," Farlan said with a serious look on his face. Levi frowned at the male.
"Fuck," he groaned and looked at me, "Don't get out of bed. We’ll finish this when I get back." he said and gave my lips a quick peck.
"Don't worry (Y/n). I won't keep your man for long," Farlan said and sent a wink my way, making me giggle. I got off of Levi to let him get dressed. Before he left the room, he came back to the bed to give me a chaste kiss as he said those three wonderful words...
"I love you."
Now...
"(Y/n), you know Levi?" Erwin questioned, but I could only gaze at the man who stood before me.
"We knew each other-" Levi started to answer, but tears started to well up in my eyes.
"Excuse me..." I said and rushed off towards the bathroom, making Erwin look at me with confused eyes.
Once I got to the bathroom, I stepped inside a stall and locked it. Sitting on the toilet I put my head into my arms and the tears rolled out, ruining my makeup. Why now, after all these years? I thought that he was dead, yet here he was, looking as handsome as the last day I saw him. I heard the door to the bathroom open and then there was a soft knock on the stall I was in.
"It's occupied." I said, hoping the person would leave.
"It's me. Open up, brat." Levi's monotone voice came from the other side of the door making me glare at it.
"This is the women’s bathroom, what are you doing here?" I asked as my tears stopped flowing.
"Open the damn door, shithead. I want to talk," he pressed on. I stood up and unlocked the door, being met with his face.
"I thought you were dead, you asshole! How could you leave me alone like that?" I yelled and started to hit his chest which he didn't stop me from doing, "I thought you were dead for seven years and now you show up!" I yelled at him as tears started to flow again. Levi grabbed my wrists halting my attacks on his body.
"Stop yelling. Someone will hear you," he hissed at me with annoyance.
"Fuck you," I said trying to pull my hands out of his grasp. The male rolled his eyes and pulled me into his chest, running his hand down my back in a soothing manner.
"I know... I'm an asshole," Levi softly whispered as he squeezed my body closer to his. My crys soon turned into soft sniffles. Hugging Levi felt so familiar, but so new at the same time. He was still the same man that I remember from seven years ago, the only difference was the soft wrinkles that started to form around his face.
"What happened? Where are Isabel and Farlan?" I questioned feeling Levi stiffen against my body.
"The heist was a blow... they somehow knew we were coming and teamed up with the cops. I went to jail for four years," Levi said and I pulled away from him to look at his face.
"What about Isabel and Farlan?" I asked and Levi hesitated for a second.
"They're dead… T...- The cops shot both of them." Levi stated and my eyes went wide.
"Wh-what...?"
Then...
"Levi, are we clear to enter?" Farlan asked over the com they had keeping them in touch once they split up.
"Yeah, but be careful. I don't have a good feeling about this," Levi said into the small microphone that was attached to his ear.
"Don't worry, Big Bro! We always win!" Isabel cheered and he could picture her grinning. Levi rolled his eyes and smiled to himself; he loved his friends, they were the closest thing he had to a family. He saw Farlan moving into the building from his peripheral vision, so he started climbing up the building. He was going to come in from the roof hopefully catching the enemy by surprise. Isabel quickly followed after Farlan, her gun in her hands as she scanned her surroundings.
"We're clear on the first floor," Farlan said, making Levi frown his brows. He entered from the roof and didn't see anyone either. It was dead silent and Levi suddenly realized...
"Farlan. Isabel. This is a trap, retr-" he started, but stopped as red dots appeared on his chest, "Fuck."
"Freeze!" yelled an officer as men in bulletproof vests and guns surrounded the male, giving him no room to escape. Levi put his arms up signalling that he had nothing in his hands. He was forced on the ground, his face coming into contact with the dirty floor of the warehouse.
"You have the right to remain silent!" yelled an officer into his face as he was being cuffed. They led him down to the first floor, where the only exit was located. Before they could exit though, Levi saw his worst nightmare; on the floor lay a lifeless Isabel, her eyes wide open with a horrified look on her face. Next to her lay Farlan in a pool of his own blood, his white shirt was stained with red liquid that didn't seem to stop oozing out of his body. How could this have happened? He didn’t hear any yelling or gunshots…
"Please be okay, (Y/n)..." Levi thought to himself as he was led to a police car by the officers.
Now...
"Don't cry, (Y/n). You already ruined your makeup..." Levi said and one of the hands that held my body went up to my face, rubbing my cheek, "I looked for you after I got out of jail, but you moved across the country and you got yourself a boyfriend... I didn't want to drag you back into my life, so I joined Erwin's company and watched over you from the shadows," Levi said and softly gazed into my eyes, just like how he would look at me when we were alone. A look of love, "I never stopped loving you, (Y/n)..." he said. My chest started to burn and my hands started to shake.
"It’s been seven years, Levi… I got over you and I don't love you anymore. I can't do this to Erwin... I love him now," I said the three words that were supposed to be only meant for him, but were now directed towards another male. His loving gaze quickly morphed into one of sadness and confusion. His arms released me from their hold, "I hope you enjoy the rest of the party..." I said and walked out of the bathroom, not looking back at the broken expression of the man whom I used to love.
