He opened his eyes to a silhouette standing before him. He blinked. That wasn't a silhouette.
"Hi."
He just looked at her, as if by blinking, she'd be gone and he'd be all alone again. But she smiled and held out her hand.
She was real, and alive. She was in front of him.
He tried to get up, but the flashing of images were before his eyes; he was glancing at Armin, Kenny pointed a gun at him, the sound of gun…
"Ugh!" he held his head with one hand, as if he hit his head somewhere before he passed out and woke up with Petra in front of him.
"Are you okay?" She touched his arm and he was startled at the touch. "That's fine… You're here, now, Levi. You're safe." He let her pull him into her arms. He still didn't know what was going on, why was she here, and other questions were floating in his mind.
He closed his eyes and put his arms around her, he gladly inhaled the scent of her that was familiar back then, before the 57th expedition, before she was gone, taken from him.
He slowly pressed his lips against her forehead before he looked down at her, one hand making its way down from her cheek to her neck.
"How?" He asked, not because he wanted an answer, but because he wanted to hear her voice again.
She shook her head. "Really? Do you want me to explain to you in our reunion?" She said with a smile. It was a smile that made her look calm and beautiful, the smile that always made him stop and stare, the smile that always had been there for him.
"Not really." He agreed.
"We have one day before… before They took you."
"What?"
"Your time there is over, Levi. But that doesn't mean you have another time… in another world."
He seemed puzzled by her words. He wasn't a fool himself, but what her saying didn't make sense. He opened his mouth to say something, but she interrupted.
"I know you don't get it, but do you even know where are we right now?"
He finally got a chance to look around. It was like the forest where… she died. But no Titans in sighting. He began to understand. A little. He looked down at her again.
"Will I meet you again in… other world?"
She smiled. "Yes. I'm pretty sure about that." She stood on her tiptoe and brushed her lips against his. "We have all day…" she whispered. "What do you want to do now?"
He looked at her blue eyes, those eyes he hadn't seen these days. Those eyes were always there when he woke up from a nightmare. Those eyes that were staring at his.
"I don't have any idea." He admitted as he kissed her shoulder and let his head staying there. He didn't care if they only had one day, because it was enough for him.
Because it was finally enough, after all those nightmares he saw in his dreams about losing her, after how he actually lost her, after everything reminded him of her… she was back in his arms.
