Modern AU

The sky is cloudy and the wind is cold. The people dressed in black still surrounding the grave. He was a good man. Respected man. But now he left the world. He left with a small smile on his face indicating that he was rest in peace. As his coffin being lowered to the ground, Levi felt his heart scattered into pieces. He would never get used to this sort of thing.

His best friend, Erwin Smith leaving him to another world. He felt his eyes glazed but he refuse to let out a single tears down his face. Hanji stood beside him crying out loud with Moblit by her side try to soothing her. Levi never thought that he will see Hanji in a state of suffering. In fact, everyone at the cemetery was deeply hurt by Erwin's sudden death.

This is not the first time Levi lost someone. He lost his mother when he was a baby. He lost his father because his father abandoning him when he was 8 years old. He lost his precious two friends in a traffic accident. Now,he lost someone he respect a lot. He still in thought of Erwin's death when suddenly he felt two strong arms circled on his waist and a head on his chest. Levi surprised and looked down to see a ginger-haired on his chest. W-who?.

"You are the one who has not yet received a hug from anyone since we began the funeral. And I thought everyone deserved a hug right now."

She looked up and give him a smile that make his heart beating a little toned. She hide her face in his chest once again.

"I knew we don't know each other. And I knew my action is disrespectful. But I'm not regret it. Because in this situation, everyone feel the same way. And a hug is the best choice to share our sadness."

Levi surprised face change to a sad face. He probably need a hug right now. With hesitation, he hugged back the girl. He buried his face on her beautiful hair. He let out a single tear and closed his eyes. Levi felt her arm rubbed his back. They hugged in a long time then she pulled out from the embrace. She wiped his tear with her finger and gave him a small smile.

"I should go now. My friends are waiting for me."

Levi didn't answer her.

"Umm. Hopefully I'll see you again?"

When she felt that he will not answer her, she turned around and walking to her friends. Levi remember that he has not asking the name of the girl. When he was about to call her, she already far away.

Levi wonder if he will meet her again. And he really wish he will meet and ask her name.

And he wanted to thank her for the stranger hug.
