Crybaby Levi
Disclaimer: I do not own SnK.
Told in POV of Eren, reincarnation with no memories of before life
When I was a baby, Levi-san first moved next door to my house. He lived alone, so my mother decided to pay him a visit as a neighbor with me. He was only 16 years old at that time.
According to my mom, she knocked on the door to have a 16-year-old answer it. She talked with him for a while, and discovered many things about him. For example, he lived alone, away from his parents, and he paid for the house rent himself. As they talked, my mom introduced him to me, and I was so adorable he cried. Well, that was our first meeting.
Since then, thinking that Levi-san was a child with many stories, she often invited him to our house, giving him food and such. And every time she did a tiniest kind act toward him, he would always cry. Levi-san was a tiny man with a scary face, but he was kind, too. His words were rude and he had cold demeanor toward everyone, but he cried when anybody did the tiniest favor.
Watching that, I always thought that he cries so much because he needs to cry the tears he couldn't shed in before life.
Levi-san cries a lot, which is quite a contrast, compared to me. I rarely cry. In fact, even when I was born, I yelled instead of crying. Even if I hurt my knee or something, I was more annoyed at Jean, my forever enemy who was just passing by, then the fact it hurt. Once, my mom told me that I don't have to hold back my tears, but that was not what I was doing. Seriously, no matter what I did, I could never get the tears to come. I must have cried a lot in before life.
But even I cried once before. I was young, only five or six years old at that time. I was watching Pokémon, and Levi-san was studying next to me.
"Do it. Ash! Exterminate them all!" I cheered, and suddenly Levi-san whipped around, his face a mask of anger.
"Don't say that word, Eren! Don't say exterminate! Where did you learn that word anyway?" He yelled, and I was taken aback. Then, Levi-san, realizing that he yelled at a child, crumbled down and began crying again.
"I-I'm sorry I yelled at you, Eren… I didn't mean it…"
I don't know why, but at that particular moment, seeing Levi-san cry, I began crying too.
"D-Don't be sorry, Levi-san…I was the one who said the ugly word. I won't ever say it again…"
When I asked why he yelled at me that day later, he didn't really know why either.
Time passed. I graduated elementary, and Levi-san graduated high school. When I began high school, Levi-san had already completed college and had a work. When I finished high school, Levi-san had to move away because of work. He was really sorry, and thanked us for all the kindness they gave him and for coming to say goodbye. He cried that day, too. But I didn't cry. I believe that even though this is a farewell, this isn't the farewell of lifetime. He and I will meet again sometime in life, I was sure of it.
