I'm not much of a LeviMika fan, but a good friend on here adores that pairing (Crystal I consider this your belated birthday gift xD). And I'm pending on whether to write a LevixEren fic, since that's my ship, but I generally detest yaoi...I'll think on that. This will either be a oneshot or full-length story; it depends on the response I get. So review for continuation and longer chapters!

It happened in a blink of an eye. No, faster. One moment Eren was plowing through the fields of titans, the earth trembling with every stomp, and the next..the next..

"Eren!" Mikasa was perched on a branch, helpless to the scene progressing a mile away. Her screams were frantic, echoing off the trunks and trees, lost in the wind. "Eren get out of there! Behind you! EREN!"

It happened too fast. The impossible happened. Eren was supposed to be invincible in his titan form! That idiot was supposed to fight off every monster that came at him! He had promised he would be safe; he would return to her! He made a promise they would be together until the very end. And so help her, she would enforce that promise.

Eren was the only family she had, the only one, besides Armin, who she truly cared about. They were partners. They were going to marry one day, she thought, and have children. Their children would be so beautiful..taking after their father's eyes..

But Fate was a cruel thing.

Fate had snatched Eren from her faster than her strangled screams could reach him.

Mikasa watched in horror as a 15-meter titan wrapped its deformed body around Eren's form, its maul stretching abnormally large to reveal rows of dulled teeth. She was weak. That was it. If she hadn't been weak she could have saved him. But she didn't. She watched with an aghast expression as its jaw clamped down on Eren's neck, a fountain of crimson spewing and splattering the surrounding vicinity, a pained roar emanating from him.

The titan pulled back with a satisfying squelch, flaunting the flesh it'd successfully torn off. Eren fought as best as he could, but a flock of titans soon had him to the ground.

The roars, they soon turned to wails similar to a human's. They tore her heart, puncturing her mind, into shreds. Eren's screams weren't enough to break her of her stupor, however. She could only stand paralyzed, and watch her most cherished friend get torn apart by monsters.

"Mikasa! Mikasa! MIKASA?!"

She was dimly aware of a panicking Armin, who desperately tried avoiding beefy hands and opened mouths as he shouted her name. He descended on a tree adjacent her, crystallized eyes filled to the brim with fear. She was as aware to his tears as to his screaming.

"Mikasa, Eren is—Eren is—!" Armin sputtered over his words, body writhing with the oncoming sobs. "Mikasa, what do we do?!"

Honestly, she didn't know what to do. She didn't have control over her body at the moment. She was floating through a haze, oblivious to the shrieks of her comrades and the commands of Erwin.

"Mikasa please answer me!" Armin pleaded, pain evident in his words. "What do we do?! MIKASA!"

She couldn't.

Because all she saw in the rampage of humans and titans was the sizzling corpse of Eren's transformation. But it wasn't that, not her partners as they were ripped apart, not the fading roars, not Armin's warnings to look to her side. She was fixated on the body of a bloody youth, fingers raising him by his shirt, and following his swaying body through the hectic surroundings.

"Eren," Mikasa breathed. "Please..don't.."

In that moment, Mikasa solely witnessed her family dangle over the parted lips of a titan. Her utterances were silent, her cries nothing, as the fingers released him. And like that, Eren was..gone.

"Don't..go..!"

"MIKASA GET OUT OF THE WAY!"

If Eren was gone, why even bother trying to live? She kept herself alive only to protect him, anything other than that was unimportant. If Eren was dead, then she should be dead to. Maybe she could save him in the afterlife.

Maybe..just maybe..

"Oi, Ackerman, it's time to wake up."

Mikasa opened her teary eyes, conscious that Corporal Levi stood at the base of her bed. It was all a dream? She would smile with relief, if it weren't for the weighted lump in her chest and the throbbing in her shoulder. Something just wasn't right.

Levi scowled. "Ackerman, clean out your ears and get the fuck up. It's time for training."

Mikasa sat up and asked a simple question: "Levi, what happened yesterday? When we were fighting the titans..What happened?" She waited.

And waited.

And waited, but she never received an answer.

For once, Levi was silent.
