LeviHan Fairy-tail Week!
Day 6 - The Little Mermaid
Title: Sea Foam
"Levi, what would you do if I turned into sea foam?"
Levi spun his head around. They were sitting in the library, reading up on their respective topics. Hanji was reading a huge tome about the history of titans, trying to find new clues to their origin.
"Where the hell did that come from?" Levi asked.
"Well, when I was smaller, my mother used to tell me this story, called the little mermaid. And in it, a mermaid makes a deal with a witch to become human so she can be with the prince, the man she loves. But there were problem with the deal - as soon as he marries another woman, she will cease to exist. So the mermaid gave up her tail and became human, and lived with the prince. One day, he fell in love with another princess, and they were married. The mermaid's sisters brought her a knife that would turn her back into a mermaid if she killed the prince, but she couldn't do it. So she became sea foam… And I was just wondering what you would do if I die and ceased to exist."
Levi said nothing for a long time, and Hanji went back to reading her book, sad that he didn't care enough to answer her.
"Do you think they have that book in the library?" Levi asked Hanji, and she looked up. "Will you read it to me?"
Hanji beamed, and lead Levi to a small section of the library. She had come her many times to read the book, and remember her mother's soft voice, and gentle hands. She took the book from the shelf, and sat on the floor, motioning for Levi to join her.
And so they sat there, shoulders touching, while Hanji read to Levi. By the end, Hanji was tired, and leaned her head against Levi's shoulder. He rested his head on hers, and they sat there.
"I would do nothing." Levi said quietly.
"Huh?" Hanji asked.
"Your question, what would I do if you became sea foam."
"Oh…" Hanji breathed out, small tears forming in her eyes.
"I wouldn't let you become sea foam. Because no matter what, time and time again, I would always choose you."
Hanji's eyes shot open, and she lifted her head to look at Levi. He turned away, but she saw the blush coming up onto his cheeks. She giggled, and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you, Levi. I love you too."
They stayed in the library for hours, just enjoying each other's company.
The End.
