I desperately wanted to keep writing this story that I really can't think of something else to write about but this lol. That and I really want to write the smut complement to it... heh ^^; well here's chapter 2! AND ITS LEVI'S POV! WOOOOOOO~ Oh, by the way, Eren and Levi's ages are closer than their canon ages. But, of course, Levi's older.
Another thing, for those who are manga fans, I know Hanji has no official gender but I decided to use female pronouns because its easier.

DISCLAIMER: Shingeki no Kyojin belongs to Hajime Isayama. This little idea's mine though~

More A/N at the end of the chapter.

How could I live in my previous life? I was the best soldier there was. I was even a Corporal for fuck's sake and was a member of the Scouting Regiment. I could've died at any given time. I didn't experience many things and I didn't need to until a kid appeared out of nowhere and wormed his way into my life and my heart. He was a real monster. It was seen in his eyes but there was more to him, even if he was a teen back then. Yes, I hadn't expected this to happen. But I was glad it did. I was glad I had fallen in love, even if that decision caused me to rip my heart to pieces in the end.

Levi

"Ugh..." I rolled over in my bed, trying so hard to zone out the shrilling beeps from my alarm clock. I really didn't feel like going to work today. Its not like I'm needed there anyways. Hanji was a co-owner and manager at the cafe we worked in. She worked today but for some reason, she wanted me there. I honestly didn't know how the hell I even met Hanji in this life. One day I was living my own life and the next she suddenly appears in my life again. I slowly slid out of bed, my hair a mess and for some reason, most of my clothes were now lost. I groaned. I really hate mornings...

Ever since I could remember, I always had dreams of my previous life. Every thing was in perfect detail, every soldier, every death, every moment. I really couldn't sleep so well when I was younger because of my memories. When I got older though, there was one person who could calm me, one person who resided in my memories. I tried to look for him but my attempts failed. I almost gave up in doing so. Thought if I had lived my life without him before, I can survive for the rest of my life.

I followed my usual routine in the morning. When I got to my closet, I just picked out whatever clothes there was and looked back at my room to make sure everything had been neatly done. Yes, that's another unfortunate trait that stuck with me in this life.

I was greeted by my cat, Rogue, when I walked into the kitchen. I made myself a simple breakfast and some tea, gave Rogue some food as well. I was actually quite comfortable with a simple life and a simple apartment. I was alone anyways and I really didn't need all the extravagances in the world. I finished my breakfast and tea and decided to just head out and walk a bit. I'm sure Hanji can handle the cafe on her own for a little while. I might as well pass by Petra's shop and say hi.

I do remember how Petra and I met in this life. We were college classmates at first and then became friends almost instantly when we both found out we both had our memories from our past lives. We often reminisce but most of the time, we're glad we no longer have to live in that world. The apartment complex I lived at was pretty close by to her shop and it was on the way to the cafe so it didn't take me long to get there and it wouldn't take me long to arrive at the cafe either.

I stopped by before the store was opened and I already saw one of her employees inside. It was the blondie that was always attached to him, Armin. Petra saw me and opened the doors to let me in. "Levi! Hi! How are you?" She gave me a hug as she greeted me. I noticed the blond quickly turned when Petra mentioned my name. By the looks of it, he knew who I was but I wasn't too sure.

"I'm good, Petra." I looked at Armin, who quickly returned to what he was doing, and then asked Petra if we could talk in private. She led me to her office and closed the door.

"What is it Levi?"

"Is that who I think it is?" I knew who he was but it wouldn't hurt to be sure about it.

"Ah, yes. It's Armin. And..." She looked away and thought about what to say next.

"Whatever you want to tell me, just do it. You know I'll get it out of you somehow." Even now that we are considered equals, I saw her fidget under my stare before giving up in holding back the next part of her sentence.

"Fine. I hired someone else. He's a student trying to major in art and... He's best friends with Armin." She looked at me, knowing that I would figure out what she was trying to tell me.

"You... You mean you found him?" She nodded in response. It was a rare sight to see tears falling down my cheek but hearing that he's finally been found, it stirred all these hidden feelings in me. Even Petra was shocked to see my body's reaction to the news.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, just... Happy." I gave her a slight smile, but it was an honest one. I looked at the clock on the wall. "Oh, I guess I should go now. Hanji wanted me to go to work today but I really don't know why. That's why I dropped by to say hi." I was practically shoved out of the store as soon as I finished what I was saying.

"Well get going then! I'm sure it's something important!" I groaned and waved bye to her as I walked away. Truth is, I don't want to go... Oh well. A few minutes passed before finally arriving at the cafe. It was open already and there were a few customers inside already. Shina's... How the hell did we come up with that na- My thoughts were disrupted by someone yelling and by the looks of it, that someone was getting closer.

"LEVI! DAMMIT! I SAID TO GET HERE EARLY!" Hanji grabbed my arm and dragged me inside until I pulled away.

"Well maybe if you would've explained to me why I needed to be here, then I would've gotten here on time." I glared at her.

"Levi." She turned and had a serious look on her face now. The fuck's going on? "He's been found."

"Yeah, Petra told me." She groaned.

"So that's where you went this morning... I should've known..." She rubbed her temple before continuing with the conversation. "OK, since you already know about that, I'll tell you something else." I crossed my arms and waited. "I've been meeting with Armin. You probably saw him at the shop." I nodded. This is getting interesting... "Today's his first day at Petra's shop. Armin decided to bring him here for lunch today. So we wanted you to just stay here and watch from afar."

"Why fr-"

"Let me finish Levi. We wanted you to be sure about this. You and I both know of what happened back then. You and I both know the cause of your nightmares..." She trailed off and looked away. "Look, Levi... I told Armin of what really happened back then. And he says that Eren doesn't remember many things with precise detail nor how he died exactly... We're both worried that he may remember and the both of you can end up hurting each other again..." She looked back up at me. "So, stay from afar for today, for both of your sakes..."

I stared at her. She was right of course. My nightmares... They're always the same and because of them, I am slightly afraid of what may happen... I did something unforgivable to him and I don't know what I would do if he started to hate me when he found out. Panic started to grow inside and I desperation was apparent on my face. "Hanji, I-I don't think I can do this..."

"Calm down. Breathe. You can do this. You're Levi for fuck's sake." I don't know if that was her attempt to lighten my mood or just her being stupid. I decided to go with the former option. I did calm down and she led me to a table in the far back.

"Dammit Hanji. I don't want to look like a fucking stalker." I grumbled as I sat down. "This is fucking ridiculous Hanji. I don't need to be here the entire time..." I scowled at her after noticing I would be waiting there for at least 4 hours.

"Huh? Oh, you're right. I guess you can go back home or something. Just get back before they get here." I nodded and walked out. I guess I can go home... I walk passed Petra's shop again but I didn't want to go in again. I just needed some sleep... And sleep I got when I arrived at my apartment.

~.~

I was awoken by my phone ringing. I checked to see who it was. "Fucking hell." I answered. "What do you want Four-Eyes?"

"GET HERE NOW. THEY ARRIVED ALREADY. YOU'RE LATE." Fuck. I told her that I was on my way and hung up, quickly getting out of bed and running out of the apartment. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. This was one time I was actually glad that I didn't live far from the cafe. I got there as soon as I could and I was glad there were enough people so I could sit down without being seen. I saw Hanji from the corner of my eyes and she was glaring at me. Another reason I was glad there was a lot of people.

I tried catching my breath when I sat down and Hanji brought me a coffee. "You look like shit." I ignored her and drank my coffee, then I saw him. He looked like the same person he was before. He still had the messy brown hair and his eyes were unmistakeable. He still spaced out and he was still clumsy. His eyes still shone as before, but there was a hint of sadness in them. It broke me a bit inside.

I observed, such as Hanji requested. I tried very hard not to run over to him and hug him and kiss him and be with him. Yes, I was afraid but I was more sure now that I really did love him, I loved him with everything I had.

Time seemed to have passed too quickly and I saw both him and Armin standing up and getting ready to leave. I wanted to run after him so badly, but before they both left, Eren looked back and our eyes met. I saw realization and happiness in his eyes.

After so long, he had found me.

And I had finally found him.

FINALLY. I FINISHED CHAPTER 2.
