True For Words

by kimbleywimbley

Levi is ready to scour through the new recruits and see if any are worth his time and deny all of them as the usual, but one strange girl seems to catch his eye. He begins to bond with that certain girl, and he finds she is the second most skilled soldier. What will happen between these two excelled soldiers? Levi x Mikasa. Rated T for Language. (May have Lemon in the future)

4. Forgive In A Song

Levi returned before nightfall. He never confided in someone, so he thought over it all by himself. He had to turn away from her, but that didn't mean he hadn't wanted to stay with her. Levi said goodnight to Petra and Erd, and watched them go towards their rooms. Normally, he would go alongside them to his room, but he turned the other way and walked until he found Mikasa's door. It sounded quiet, so he thought she might be asleep. But, when he knocked, she opened it. He looked at his feet. "I'm sorry." Mikasa took in those two words, but shut the door on him. He turned around and sat against the wall. "I will call upon Your name. And keep my eyes above the waves. When oceans rise, my soul will rest in your embrace. For I am yours, and you are mine... Spirits lead me where my trust is without borders. Let me walk upon the waters, wherever you would call me. Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander..." Levi sang. Mikasa listened through the other side of the door. Levi kept repeating, "Spirits lead me where my trust is without borders." Mikasa opened the door and Levi stopped. She helped him up and closed the door behind her as she came into the hallway with him.
"That better not be the only song you know from the past." Mikasa lead the way downstairs and out back. Neither noticed a shadow following them.
Levi stood and thought for a moment, then sung, "You've carried on so long, you couldn't stop if you tried it. You've built your wall so high that no one could climb it. But I'm gonna try! Would you let me see beneath your beautiful? Would you let me see beneath your perfect? Take it off now, girl, take it off now, girl! I wanna see inside! Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?" Levi ended with a soft note and Mikasa broke into a small, content smile. "Good that you know another song, otherwise I would have walked away." Mikasa laughed and Levi took it as an offense, but they stayed there for the most of the night, being watched by the shadow that had followed them.

So, agree or disagree with Levi knowing songs from the past? (Yes these songs are from modern day for us.) I find it touching. Who is the shadow? Is that shadow an enemy or foe? Now that Levi is hanging by Mikasa, will one of them get hurt by rejection, or will they learn to accept each-other? Review, favorite, follow, and such. Thanks for reading.
