LeviHan Fairy-Tail Week!

Day 3 - Phantom of the Opera

Title: Point of No Return


A/N: Okay, so phantom of the Opera AU. It's gonna differ a little from the PotO plot-line, but still basically the same. I might change it to what I want to happen… lol. Here we go. Also, listen to Point of No Return while you're reading this, just a suggestion. Gerard Butler is spectacular!


Hanji sat on the stage, waiting for Eren to enter and begin their duet. Don Juan Triumphant was the newest opera written for her by her angel of music, Levi. She sat on the stage, and glanced up at Nanaba. Nanaba, her childhood friend, and now fiancé, smiled at her. He sat in box 5. The box that had caused such trouble, that was normally reserved for Levi. Tonight, however, the phantom was nowhere to be seen.

Hanji didn't know what was going to happen tonight. No warning had been given by the phantom, and so far there was no catastrophes. But anything could happen. Hanji herself didn't know what she would do tomorrow, let alone what she would do if anything happened to either Nanaba or Levi. Nanaba and the managers had created a plan where they captured Levi, but who knew what would happen. She cared about both of them so much. Nanaba, her precious childhood friend, who was so obviously in love with her. He had proposed to her, and it had startled her so much that she had said yes. But then there was her angel of music, Levi. The man who had took care of her when her father had died, had taught her to tone and shape her voice into the beautiful instrument it was now. Her life had become so confusing in just the past few days.

The curtain behind her opened, and she heard the footsteps of her fellow singer behind her. But when Eren began singing, he didn't sound like Eren. He sounded like-

Hanji, struggling to remain in character, turned, and saw Levi singing to her. He was dressed in black silk, a black cloak adorning his shoulders. His face was covered with a mask like usual, but it was a elegant black mask that she had never seen before. His voice echoed in her bones, and she shivered. Every word was like fire in her veins.

He moved towards her, slow and graceful. His words were so passionate and fiery, something that Levi hardly was. He spoke of seduction and love, but the undertones told Hanji that he meant more. He was telling her that he loved her more than life, more than the music that both of them adored so much. She was his world, and he wanted her to know that.

Hanji's reprise came, and suddenly she knew what she wanted. Her lines, which had only seemed like words before Levi's piece, were now conduits for her emotions. She poured her love and decision into them, and watched as Levi's eyes widened in realization. They moved up their staircases, and Hanji's words took on a husky timbre. "Our passion play has now at last begun!". Levi's smirk, that Hanji had now come to recognize as a symbol of affection lit up his face. "How long we should two wait before we're one?" The smirk fell away, and surprise lit his features. When had I figured out that I wanted him like that? Hanji thought to herself.

Within the past few minutes, Hanji had completely forgot about Nanaba, and had focused completely on Levi. He was the only thing in her mind. Their voices mingled, and their elation was tangible to both of them. "We're past the point of no return."

Then Levi began another sound. "Lead me, save me from my solitude. Say you'll want me with you here beside. Anywhere you go let me go too." Sadness and regret coursed through Hanji. How had she let this man, who had been so hurt and broken through his whole life, let him think that the woman he loved so completely did not return his affection?

She turned, and looked into his eyes. "Take me with you" she whispered, and the phantom gave a slight nod. He turned, and with regret and shame lighting his eyes, he cut down the chandelier. A shock coursed through Hanji, and then she felt the floor beneath her disappear. She threw her arms around Levi, his sturdy chest providing security and safety.

When they landed, Levi pulled her off the ground, and then guided her through the underground city. They didn't go in the direction of his lair, but in a direction that Hanji was completely unfamiliar with. They heard the screams and shouts of the hoard of police and angry men behind them, but nothing would get in their way now.

A thought came to Hanji, and she tugged on Levi's cloak. He stopped and looked back at her, confusion in his eyes. Did she want to go back? "What is it?"

"Do you have a piece of paper Levi? I want to write a note to Nanaba."

"Why?"

"How would you feel if I just ran away from you?" Hanji asked.

"Pfft, as if, shitty glasses." Levi said, all the grace and passion from the song gone. But Hanji loved this Levi too. No matter how gruff or tactless he was, he was her's, and she wouldn't change him for the world. She put her hand out, and Levi gave her the sheet of paper and a pencil. She scribbled out a quick note to Nanaba, and left it on a rock in the tunnel. They would undoubtedly scour these tunnels for both her and Levi, but by the time they came this way it would be too late. With that, they continued through the tunnels.

When the finally came to the grate, Hanji turned and looked at Levi.

"Where are we now?"

Think for a moment, Levi replied "We are about 10 minutes away from the Opera house on foot. We should be far enough to be safe."

Hanji nodded and took Levi's hand. "You know that no matter what, I trust you and love you."

Levi turned to her. "You love even my scars?"

Hanji's eyes softened, and she put both hands on his cheeks. The sound of the angry mob were far out, and she felt safe enough for now. She gently took the mask in her hand, and tugged it off Levi's face. His hair fell, free from the constraint of the mask, and he turned his head, afraid of her judgement. She tilted his face back up, and looked at his scar. A long, jagged scar ran down the side of his face, from his hairline to his cheekbone, and curved under his eye. It crossed the bridge of his nose, and stopped under his other eye. She ran her finger down and across the scar, and slowly brought her lips to the start of it. She pressed a kiss to it, and continued to do so all along the scar. When she moved back, Levi's eye's were closed, and anxiety rushed through Hanji.

"Did I do something wrong?" She asked.

"No. It's just… no one has ever been so gentle with me before."

Tears rose to Hanji's eyes, and she smiled at the man who loved her.

"Never again will I let you feel unloved." Hanji promised, and with that, she lead Levi out of thet tunnels, and into the night. No longer were they the opera singer and ghost of the opera house. Now they were just Hanji and Levi, two people who were facing their futures together.


The End


A/N: So, if you can guess, I wanted Christine to end up with Erik. Plus, in the book Raoul was a stalker and really creepy. But I wanted Hanji and Levi to be happy together, so it's kinda an AU within an AU… i guess. Also, Levi didn't kill Eren, he just knocked him out :D

But anyways, enjoy! Tomorrow is Robin Hood.
