*TRIGGER WARNING* Excessive description of decapitation (skip the ** stared part)
"You better be alive in there you shitty brat!" Levi quickly cut Eren out of his titan form before bringing him to the ground.
"Did... Did we do it?" Eren slowly opened his eyes to look at everyone in squad, including Commander Erwin and Hanji.
Levi chuckled before smiling. "Damn right we did!" Eren smiled, finally, after 100 years of being caged animals, humanity has won against the titans.
"Woo hoo!" He laughed, he could finally go see the outside world without fear and death awaiting around every corner.
Eren slowly stood up. "Want to do the honors Jaeger?" Levi handed him the flare gun with the special color already loaded.
He pointed the gun to the sky and plugged his ear with the other, the rest followed. He smiled and pulled the trigger, sending the flare to the sky, for everyone to see that humanity had finally won.
Armin and Mikasa ran up and hugged him. They've been through so much together and survived it all. Connie, Sasha, Christa and Jean joined in on the group hug.
"On this day, the Survey Corps squad led by Captain Rivaille has successfully completed the 100 year objective of leanrning about and exterminating the titans with help from Cadet Eren Jaeger. Good enough summary of today?" Hanji said while noting the record down.
"There is no true way to explain what we did and what we faced to get here. All we did is make our choices and hoped we didn't regret them." Eren walked over to Levi and hugged him.
"We did it heichou! We finally fucking did it! Finally..." He laid his head on the shorter man's shoulder. "I get to see the outside world."
"I'm going with you too brat. Don't forget our promise." Levi hugged him back and patted his head. "Of course not."
He let go and stared at the sky. It was so wide, so vast, so many possibilities were able to happen now. And Eren was going to see them all.
"What now?" Erwin walked over to Levi when Eren went back to his friends. "You know they will want him back in court for another ruling."
Levi sighed heavily. "Yea, I know. Just let them bask in the moment for know. We'll worry about all that later." Levi looked at the sky, today started a new world.
Beautiful...
~.~.~
Levi held his hand closely to the flame to protect it as he quietly crept to Eren's room before soft knocking on the wood door. Foot steps were heard on the other side before the door opened to reveal a mop of brown hair and sleepy emerald green eyes.
"Levi? What's wrong?" Eren tiredly rubbed his eyes. "Eren, I need to talk to you" Levi's face was serious and... Hurt?
Eren opened the door and allowed Levi in. He set the candle on the table and pulled out a chair, Eren sat on his bed.
"What's going on?" Eren decided to break the silence first. "Well you know we defeated the titans today... And we have to send in another report about you... You'll avre to go back to court..."
Levi kept trailing off, he tried his best not let his voice waver but it was slowly becoming more obvious.
"Yea... Levi spit it out. What's wrong?" Eren began to look worried. Levi lifted his head to show his eyes lined with tears.
"It's a strong possibility that they will choose for you to be killed!" Levi's voice broke and so did his walls, he began to weep in front of his lover.
"Hey, hey, hey." Eren quickly hugged Levi. "Its okay." Levi continued to cry. "I can't lose you! Not you too! Farlan, Isabel, Eld, Gunther, Auruo, Petra... Not you. I can't lose you too..." Levi clung to his lover and continued to cry.
Eren knew this was going to happen. It was bound to happens someday and he just knew the only reason he is alive now, breathing, carrying on with life... Is because Levi was there. He was the only reason for Eren to still be where he is right now, so he could defeat the titans. He did it. What now?
"I'll continue to fight." Levi spoke again. "I'll speak on your behalf, do whatever I can to keep you alive. We'll go see the world. Just like you wanted." Levi pulled Eren onto his lap and stared into his eyes.
Eren wiped away his tears with his thumb before placing soft kisses on the corners of his eyes. "Together" Eren spoke softly before kissing Levi's lips.
Together...
~.~.~
"How fucking dare you! Do you know the shit he's been through to get here while you sat on your lazy asses?! And you want to kill him!" Levi was furious. Not even a full ten minutes into the trial and the already wanted to chop his head off.
"He is no longer needed." One man spoke. "Hand him over to the Military Police for testing." Another spoke.
"Hanji Zoë is the only one with authorization to perform tests on him!" Levi shouted.
Eren sat in the middle of the room, chained to a post like a dog. He smiled, he didn't care what they did. It would go down in history that he contributed to the freedom of mankind.
"You've proved you point. He was a great aspect in defeating the titans. Its over now, he is no longer under your supervision. Hand him over Corporal." The first man spoke again.
Levi hopped over the stand and ran in front of Eren before pulling out his swords. "Come near him and I will fucking kill you." He was sick of playing nice.
"Both of you said you wanted to defeat all the titans! We all still see one and you keep trying to protect it. What will all your comrades say huh?!" Another voice spoke up.
"Shut up..." Levi hung his head low. "Knowing they laid down their lives to kill all the titans an you keep one alive!"
"Shut the fuck up!" Levi painfully gripped the handles of his swords. "They died for nothing!" The voice yelled.
"Shut the hell up!" Eren screamed. "Levi. Move." Eren looked up at Levi.
"B-but Eren..." Levi lowered his swords slightly but kept up his guard. "No Levi. You said it yourself, how are we sure I won't transform every time I stub my toe." Levi realized where he was going with this.
He dropped his swords and turned to grab Eren's shoulders. "No. Don't you fucking dare Eren. We also figured out you won't transform unless you have a purpose!" He was angry Eren would except this fate.
"And who says I wont make up one? To ease my guilt? Levi its fine." Eren smiled even though a few tears slipped out. "Move so I may speak." Levi bowed before standing next to Eren and saluting.
"Your honor! May I speak freely? If your going to kill me you should at least hear what I have to say." Eren boldly looked up.
"You may." The judge nodded. "Thank you your honor. I, Eren Jaeger agree to be put to death for being a monster. I will only allow Corporal to make the final swoop that kills me."
Levi visibly stiffened. "E-Eren... I can't..." He kept his stance but trembled lightly, holding back tears.
"As it was decided before that I'm under rule and supervision of Corporal. He is also the one who was to put me to death if I went rogue. If anyone is to kill me... I'll only allow him. Let it be known that Captain Rivaille- no, Levi Ackerman, Humanity's strongest killed the very last titan. Fair enough?" Eren breathed out harshly.
"Eren please. Don't make me do it. Anyone but me" Levi silently pleaded. "I trust you with my life, I also trust you to take it." Eren silently cooed.
The judge raised the gavel. "Former Cadet Eren Jaeger is sentenced to death via decapitation by Captain Rivaille, tomorrow at dusk." He slammed the gavel down. "Court dismissed." He stood an left the podium.
The first thing Eren heard was Mikasa and Armin's cries in anguish. "Fuck..." Levi cursed quietly as the tears finally slipped out his eyes. The rest of the squad saluted and hung their heads low in respect.
Goodbye...
~.~.~
"Hanji!" Eren ran up to her. She smiled sadly. "Hey Eren. What do you need?" She adjusted her glasses.
"Do you know where Levi is? I need to do something." Eren smiled. "I think he's in his office." She point down the hall.
"Thanks Hanji!" He started off only to turn around and hug her. "Thank you Hanji. For everything. You've been a great help in yesterday's victory, even though I'm going to he put to death tomorrow, I regret nothing." A tear slipped out her eye.
"It was an honor to test and fight alongside you Eren. I'll never forget it." She hugged him back. "Dito." He kissed her cheek before doing his salute. "See you later Hanji-san." He ran towards Levi's room.
"Goodbye Eren" she waved and quietly walked away.
Eren knocked on the door softly. "Enter" Levi's voice cracked, he was obviously crying. "Hey, no crying over me. You promised." Eren entered and closed the door.
Levi looked up. "Eren? What can I do for you?" Eren walked over to Levi. "Gimme your pinkie." Eren smiled brightly. He knew he was going to die but still he smiled on.
Levi held out his pinkie. "Close your eyes..." Eren cooed. "Eren why-" Eren interrupted him. "Just do it. Please." Levi sighed before closing his eyes.
"And... There!" Levi opened his eyes to see a red string tied around his pinkie, connection it to Eren's. "Cut it. Its like a promise ring." Eren smiled.
Levi got a knife out the drawer and cut the string before putting it back. "You're my wife now." Levi chuckled.
"I'll always be loyal" Eren bowed. He stood and sat on Levi's desk. Levi sent him a questioning look when he took off his jacket and shirt.
Eren pulled him forward by his cravart. "Levi. We both know what's going to happen tomorrow, whether we like it or not." Eren spoke softly.
"Tonight is our last night together." Eren moved in closer. "Anything we wanted to to..." Their lips moved closer.
"To try..." Their lips were a mere inches apart. "We'll do it tonight. I love you no matter what, Levi." Eren kissed him deeply.
"I love you too." Levi returned the kiss, holding back the tears.
Fading...
~.~.~
Eren walked out into the courtyard, everyone stood watching. Some cheered, the monster would be gone. Some looked indifferent. And then there was his squad, all aligned in the front, saluting him.
He was set on his knees in the middle of the makeshift stage. Eren decided to wear his uniform, he wanted to die a soldier.
Levi walked on he stage slowly, dragging his sword behind him. He stood on the right side of Eren. Eren looked up and smiled sadly.
Levi smiled back, obviously saddened by what he was about to do. Eren looked forward at his squad.
"Any last words Eren?" Levi's voice trembled. Eren nodded, not meeting his eyes. "It was a pleasure to serve alongside you! You all fought well and brought victory and freedom! I'm forever greatful! If my death will ease people... So be it!" Eren couldn't do his salute cause his hands were chained.
Levi set the cold blade against the nape of his neck as Hanji wrote down his words. "Anything else?" He was visibly in tears. Once again Eren nodded.
"I love you Levi. You are my Wings of Freedom." Levi watched as a tear slid down his tan cheeks. Levi stop! Comfort him!
Levi nodded and waited for Hanji make note before bringing the blade back. Dont! T-there has to be another way to save him!
Levi brought the blade back, his right arm crossed his chest. Eren took in a slow breath. SWISH! Everyone went silent. Eren's eyes widened and dulled as his head fell off his shoulders.
* Levi and the rest of the squad stared in horror as the blood squirted on them, Levi, the stage and dirt. His body finally went limp and fell on its side where a trail of fresh, red blood dripped on the ground and mixed with the brown dirt *
Levi stabbed his blade into the stage and took off his cloak. He kissed the Wings of Freedom before lightly placing the cloak over Eren's lifeless body.
"You... Bastards." Levi whipped his head up to glare at the crowd. "Does he look like a monster?! Like he'd kill anyone?! You killed an innocent person! You made me do it!" Levi held out his hands.
"Look! His blood is on my hands! He accepted this bullshit! All of it! The responsibility of being your last hope! Of everyone expecting him to transform even though it'd bring him closer to sickness and death! He did to save you and this is how you repay him?!" Levi clenched his fists until the began to bleed.
"Fuck all of you bastards! I hope you all rot in hell!" Levi screamed. This took everyone by surprise. "Levi." Hanji and Erwin said in unison.
Levi shook his head and walked off the stage and out of sight. "I'm so sorry Eren. Please forgive me." He saluted and walked far away from the crowd.
Alone...
~.~.~
"Eren!" Levi jolted up in bed when he heard a knock at the door. "Levi?! Wake up! We have a performance today! Get up!" Hanji yelled before walking off down the hall.
2000 years later and Levi still grieves. He threw the blankets off himself before standing and stretching. He walked to his desk to open his laptop, he checked all his useless PM's of horny girls sending him naughty pictures.
He rolled his eyes and logged off of his social media before turning on his drawing pad and waiting for the icon to load. He stood and changed into some average clothes (he had a change of clothes ready for tonights show later)
He walked out the room, in search of breakfast. He decided to just have two toasted pop tarts. He dropped them in the toaster and sat on the counter while they cooked.
"Morning Levi." Levi turned around to see Petra brushing down her strawberry blonde hair. "Morning." He mumbled and turned back to look at the toaster.
"Sleep well?" She grabbed a cup out of the cabinet and filled it halfway with orange juice. "No." Levi rubbed his eyes.
"Same dream." Levi hopped off the counter to grab a plate and set the pop tarts on them. "You're too nice. Nightmare is more like it." Levi poured a cup of milk before grabbing his plate and walking off to his room and shutting the door.
He set the plate down and took a sip of his milk before grabbing his sketch pen. He put the tip on the pad before drawing a circle. He watched as a circle appeared on his screen.
He drew on for what seemed like seconds, before he knew it his pop tart and milk were gone and an hour had past by.
He colored in the picture of Eren holding out a flower crown while wearing one. There was a knock at the door. "Enter" Levi signed and saved his drawing before turning off the drawing pad.
Hanji entered and turned on his TV. "Who told you to do that?" He rolled his eyes and turned towards the TV. "Look!" She turned to one of those morning gossip news shows.
"Welcome back! I'm your host Ilse. Everyone ready to go nameless?!" She held out the microphone to the crowd where a ton of fans screamed.
"Why am I watching this?" Levi groaned. "Shh!" Hanji shushed.
"That's right! The infamous band No Name will be performing tonight and Shinagansia hall! And one lucky fan will be able to meet them, up close and personal" she purred the last word and Levi visibly shuddered.
"Get out your phones, get on you social media and answer this question." Everyone quickly pulled out their phones.
"I can guess the question" Levi mumbled and Hanji shushed him again. "What is lead singer Rivaille's favorite color? PM me this and your name and the backstage VIP pass is yours! Back to you in the studio Nile." She smiled at the camera.
"No one is going to get it right." Levi shrugged and turned back to his computer. "Isn't it blue?" Hanji questioned.
"Nope. Everyone assumes that." Levi set his drawing as his laptop profile picture. "Then... Then what is it?" Hanji tilted her head to the side.
"Besides Ilse only one other person knows it." Levi picked up his laptop. "C'mon. We got a rehearsal to go to." Levi turned off his TV and put on his shoes before walking out the room.
Beginning...
~.~.~
"Can you hear me Erwin?" Levi spoke into the mic. Erwin stuck up a thumbs up from the middle of the room, far away from the stage.
"Okay. Let's try a little further back. We need to make su-" Levi turned when someone called him.
"Levi! Levi look!" She handed him his laptop, already on the show from earlier. "How did you know my password (the password is Eren)" Levi frowned.
"Its obvious, but look!" Levi rolled his eyes and looked at the screen. His eyes widened in shock, someone guessed right.
"That right folks! Out of the thousands of fans who guessed only one got it right!" Ilse giggled. "What the fuck?" Levi furrowed his brows.
"We go to them now!" The camera followed her to someone. Levi got a small glimpse of brown hair before his laptop shut.
"Huh?!" He looked up to see Petra holding his laptop. "We have rehearsal Levi. Worry about this later." She smiled and walked away.
"Who do you think it was." Hanji whispered. "I-I don't know..." Levi sighed and walked back to the mic. "Can you hear me?"
Guessing...
~.~.~
"So I guess we just wait?" Levi took off the bandages and removed his tie. "Don't say it like that! A fan is getting the chance to meet us, at least seem happy." Petra sighed.
A knock was heard at the door. "Must be them. I got it!" Hanji jumped up, her heels echoing on the floor a he walked to the door. She cracked the door open some.
"Hel-" her hand quickly covered her mouth and she went silent. "Hanji?" Erwin questioned, she just shook her head.
"Hanji? Who is it?" Levi sat up on he couch. Hanji stepped to the side, opening the door all the way to reveal a smiling Eren.
"I didn't know Captain liked to sing." He chuckled. Everyone stayed silent, taken aback by the brunet at the door.
"What? No 'Hi Eren'? No 'How have you been for the last 2000 years'? I'm 22 now by the way." Eren leaned on the door frame.
Levi looked over Eren entirely. His brown hair was still in the same style and length, his emerald eyes shined full with life; his pink lips curled up into a smile, his tan arms crossed over his chest, which was covered by a white tee shirt. His hips leaned on the door, they were covered back black skinny jeans. It was Eren. Eren was there.
It took Levi a split second to make it from the couch to Eren's embrace. "E-eren?" He hugged the brunet and listened to his heartbeat. He was alive.
"Yes Levi, I'm here" He hugged LevI back.
Emerald green eyes...
~.~.~

Lol I'm eating two toasted pop tarts and a cup of milk. Lmao I know myself so well. Senpai loves you!
