Always Be With U [Levi X Petra]
Piece (15)

"What's going on, Levi?"

The next morning, Erwin, Mike, Hanji, and Levi talk about the incident last night in the dining room of the Elite Army base, more precisely it as well as the meeting room of the soldiers.

"It's the fools who are trying to kill me and destroy my squad" Levi said briefly.

"Yeah, but thank God that in five days Nico will be executed and I will be allowed to execute him!" Hanji laughed happily.

Levi massaged his temple, "Does that seem like a game to you?"

Hanji innocently assented while putting on the face of the pelongo. Levi was very anxious to slap him.

"Levi, I know you want to slap him in the face" Mike said, noting Levi's head.

"Levi? Did ya? Don't be so mean to me. Erwin, protect me!"

"Shut up or I'll actually do it!"

Mike laughed out loud. While Erwin could only sigh at Hanji and Levi's behavior.

"Hanji, Levi, return to the main topic. You seem to be the real target" Erwin said.

"Yes, he and I used to fight a lot while they were underground. It seems, he held a grudge against me until now and attempted to destroy me and my army."

"They are the most feared mobsters in that small town. They are known to be very cruel to the residents there. They took all the property, food, and needs of the people there. Then, yesterday's headquarters was one of their headquarters. That's the kind of information I get, too" Hanji added.

Levi threw away his face, "Mafia Slaughterer Everything, tch! Just hear it I'm sick of it."

"At least, we know some of their motives. Meaning, do not rule out the possibility of their members are still many and are wandering, seeing their organization seems quite large," Erwin concluded.

Mike gave a rude snort, "Haahh, they're fools whose hobbies obliterate the welfare of life."

"Erwin, I'll talk to him before he's executed." said Levi, adding, "the big lady also had that mouth."

Erwin nodded, "Your team also came with me to the trial later while waiting until Petra regained consciousness."

"Ehh?? Then, what about my team?" ask Hanji.

"Your team is temporarily assigned to guard this base. And.." Erwin turned to Mike, "Submit Karanese District monitoring to your team, for our expedition. To determine the path to Shiganshina, we'll discuss it later."

Levi, Hanji, and Mike nodded in understanding with their commander's command, "Do it."

"Captain!"

Levi who felt himself being called automatically turned to the source of the voice. It was Eren who called him.

"What's wrong?"

"Me and Oluo-san are done cleaning the upper floors. We'll be cooking soon" Eren reported.

"Petra's room is already?"

"Already, Captain! The captain can see for himself."

"Alright, thank you, Eren."

Eren instantly gave a salute, "Good!"

...• • •...

A nice room to look at.

That was Levi's first impression as he looked at Petra's entire room. The stuff is neatly arranged in its place. The bed that looks always tidied up. The atmosphere of the room felt very comfortable for anyone who visited it, Levi was no exception. Levi was not wrong to choose and rely on Petra as his main assistant.

His sapphire bead was fixed on a folded piece of paper on the small table of the room.

"Ck, why is there still trash? Their basis," said Levi. He picked up the paper and just as his tiny hand was about to smash it, he realized there was writing inside. His brain told him to immediately throw the paper away, but his ego told him to take a look.

Levi sighed, "Now I feel myself a stalker," Levi told himself. He opened the paper slowly.

"Petra's letter."

'Dad, I don't know how many times I've written a will, but I haven't met my death, hahaha.

How's Dad doing? I'm always healthy here. All my colleagues, seniors, and juniors value and respect each other. Especially Gunther, Oluo, and Eld, they have been my best comrades since I joined the Elite Force. I also have great respect for my superiors and seniors. So, you don't have to worry about my attitude anymore because I've grown up. But, I'm still your God Boy anytime :"D

Dad, I hope you're not tired of hearing my story with 'her', but please just listen. Today I made a mistake. I had a little fight with him. I feel so guilty. I should not have acted that way to him. Embarrassing, I shouted in front of my own boss. No. Maybe more than just a boss. You know I admired him for a long time, right? My feelings for her were more than awe, Dad.

I. I love her..

But, I know I have no right to express my stupid feelings or be loved by him. I was just a soldier destined to live his life in the Recon Corps and enter the Elite Army. Ah, nevermind. I'll ask you a lot more, ahahaha!

See you, Dad! I love you, Mom, and Revan always!

- Petra Ral

Levi's sad look. Does he deserve to know this? But, he felt very happy, relieved, confused, and surprised at once. Several times his eyes widened and memicing reading the words listed on the paper, making sure he did not read wrong. Heart warms. However, his brain was confused thinking about what he should do after this to Petra.

Levi took a deep breath. Should he be loved? Does he deserve all that?

He folded back the letter as before, of course the intention to throw it away was gone.

"How can you admire and like someone like me, Petra?"

Levi's memory immediately glared back to when Petra said something while she was asleep..

- FLASHBACK

"Why do you sleep here? You moron.." Levi rubbed a soft petra head.

"I'm sorry, and good night, Petra." Levi smiled very thinly, while staring for a long time at the peaceful face before him.

"I'm.."

Levi was stunned when Petra again rummaged softly. He did not step his foot out of the room.

".. liking you.. Capitan.."

Suddenly Levi widened his eyes, surprised to hear the words of the girl. Did Petra say that because of the burden of the mind? Or is he just messing around?

- FLASHBACK OFF

Levi tried to believe that he did not believe that. But, deep down, he wanted Petra to love him and always be by his side. The egoist? Levi didn't know if it was selfish or not. But, if I may allow it, his little heart desperately wants it.
