5. Day and Night


Levi sighed and rubbed his temples as he watched Eren and Mikasa bicker near the stables. Well,as usual mostly Eren yelled while Mikasa stayed silent except for an occasional plea for understanding, which Eren ignored. These kids will end up giving me a fucking migraine.

Levi couldn't understand what she saw in that dumb, uncultured brat. He would be washing Eren's mouth with the strongest soap available if it were up to him.

I just might sometime.

After a few minutes of steady arguing, Mikasa looked away from Eren and her gaze landed on Levi. For a moment, he was taken aback by the sadness simmering in her dark eyes. However, it was gone the very next moment and was replaced by a smooth, impenetrable mask which Mikasa usually wore.

Something about her gaze triggered a memory for Levi. He found himself thinking about Isabel and Farlan after all these years. To his horror, he began comparing Isabel and Farlan to Mikasa and Eren.

They are nothing alike, Levi thought scathingly, trying very hard to divert his thought process. Eren is a dumb little shit, nothing like Farlan.

And Mikasa…

If Isabel was day, then Mikasa was night. There weren't two people who could be more different. Then why did her eyes remind him so much of the girl he had once considered to be his little sister?
