Always Be With U [Levi X Petra]
Part (19)

...• • •...

"Sister Petra! Brother Petra!"

The girl who felt her name was called out slowly woke up from her long sleep. He blinked a few times, scanned the surroundings, and found himself on a vast expanse of lilies, like there was no end. For some reason his body felt so light, like he was reborn without sin in a different world. A world that felt foreign to him.

White.. white..

"Where am I? What is this in the afterlife?" muttered the girl known as Petra.

"Sister Petra!"

Petra was shocked when a young boy shocked her from behind. Observed by Petra, the boy's honey-brown hair fluttered to and fro along with his agile body movements. A second later the girl was shocked to see the boy's face, a face she missed so much.

"Re..van?"

The boy just smiled revealing his neat rows of teeth. "It's time for you to wake up! Lots of people waiting for you."

The lips of ranum Petra were shaking. Slowly, tears washed her beautiful face. Both of his pale hands were outstretched, wanting to reach for the existence of the figure before him right now. "Revan, let's go home."

The boy named Revan immediately shook his head as he said, "My house is different. My house is much more beautiful now. Later, I'll take my brother to my house."

"So don't want it later, but now, Revan.."

A smile was again engraved on that tiny face. "Later on. when the time is right, brother."

Revan's figure slowly began to fade from Petra's sight, making the girl's cries even tighter.

The girl was afraid of losing again.

"No. no! Revan!" petra's screams tried to reach Revan's hand back, but nil.

"We'll meet again. I promise, brother! See you, Brother Petra!"

"No. no.."

"Revan!"

Eren, who was sleeping next to Petra, woke up from a scream. "Who-"

The emerald bead of the boy surnamed Yeager immediately sparkled to see the senior he admired so much was awakened. "Petra-san! Thank goodness you're sober!"

"E. ren-argh!" Petra was holding her head tightly which hurt. His left hand squeezed softly into his chest which inexplicably tightened. Breath gasping.

"You. cold sweat! Take a slow breath, Petra-san!" tell Eren to worry.

Petra also followed Eren's instructions to neutralize his hunting breath while wiping the sweat that poured out on his forehead. Slowly, Petra began to feel comfortable and good again.

"I'm fine, Eren," Petra assured Eren because she saw Eren still panicking and worrying.

"Thank God, am I relieved to hear it?" Eren looked at Petra's eyes which looked haphazard and slightly swollen. "You've been crying, Petra-san."

"Eh, huh?" Petra flinched then she hurriedly wiped the remaining tears on her face. "I didn't even realize I was crying" she said, turning her face away.

"What.. You have a bad dream?" eren asked worriedly.

Petra smiled palely, "Revan made me wake up.."

Eren smiled slightly with a sad look. He thought back to what had happened to his senior brother.

Petra suddenly patted her cheek, "What day is it, Eren? How long have I been sleeping? What are the others doing? What about Nico and his organization? Then, captain-uh!" Petra again complained while holding her right chest which still hurts.

"Calm down, Petra-san. You just came to your senses from your critical period. I'll get you some food and warm water first." Eren helps Petra sit on her bed, and she leaves the room.

Petra let out a long breath. His two almond irises scanned his entire body and he could deduce that almost his entire body was bandaged, even part of his face. The scars of all the wounds were still painful and bruised, especially the gunshot wound on his right chest.

"Captain what are you doing? What.. is he okay? The others.. How about?" petra muttered softly. So many questions approached him, what happened during his unconsciousness.

...• • •...

"Petra-san, here. Sorry, there's only porridge, bread, and warm water because we haven't returned to the main base. So. haven't had time to take supplies and food again."

"It's okay, Eren. Thank you, yeah." Petra smiled gently.

Eren sat back down and accompanied Petra to a meal. He began to answer the question that Petra had asked earlier. "You were unconscious for almost a week. If you ask where the captain and the others are, they're now in court because today's court has decided to prosecute the mafia organization. I was ordered by the captain to accompany you here" Eren explained.

Petra sighed, "I must have troubled you all.."

"Not at all. Don't think like that, Petra-san. We're supposed to be soldiers to help each other."

Petra smiled, "Thank you.."

TOK TOK..

Nanaba immediately rushed and hugged her roommate and her classmate.

"Nanaba-sshh. sick tau!" lamented Petra.

"Aahaha! Sorry sorry! You finally realized too! Sleep over, you son!"

"You look so excited today. Don't-don't.. You've got a new boyfriend, huh, hm?" goda Petra while giving a grin.

Nanaba immediately touched Petra's forehead, making Petra complain. "I'm sorry I hugged you.."

Petra laughed out loud, instantly forgetting the pain all over her body.

"Nanaba-san, sorry I didn't see you and your team downstairs earlier" Eren chirped.

"Ah yes, indeed my team had a short business in Karanese District. And my squad was ordered to temporarily return here by Mike" Nanaba explained.

Eren mangosteen, "That's it."

"I heard. as long as you were unconscious.. Captain Levi takes care of you every night instead of ignoring you."

Petra immediately choked on the water she drank when she heard that, surprised instead of playing.

"Petra-san!" Eren rubbed Petra's back.

"Geez, slow down Petra."

"That's right, Nanaba. He couldn't possibly waste his time just looking after a weakling like me. In fact, he probably thinks I'm his weakest subordinate."

"But that's right, Petra-san," Eren confirmed.

"Eh? You're Eren too?" Petra widened her eyes. The reason, the two people in front of him testified to the truth of the topic about a Levi who wanted to take care of his subordinates directly.

"I've seen the captain come into your room at night. This morning, Oluo-san also told me that the captain was in your room with a lethargic face when she delivered breakfast for him. Captain Levi. won't eat these three days."

Petra was surprised for the second time, "No. maybe.."

Why.. captain to his side? In fact, the captain would do it for me?

"When you had surgery, he was very worried about you. I can see it even though Levi's trying to hide it."

Suddenly the three humans in the room turned to the door and found Chief Hanji who testified confirming the statement.

"Danji-san!" call the three together while salute and immediately replied to a wave of hands by Hanji.

What did Chairman Hanji mean? inner Petra.

"Hi, Petra! Hows it? Are you feeling better?"

Petra smiled in response to Hanji, "I'm fine, Hanji-san. Why are you here?"

"Well, my team ordered Erwin to guard this base."

"so yeah. Ah.. What do you mean?" ask Petra to make sure.

"Yes, that's also an additional testimony from me. Well, even though she just said you were the only female member of her squad, but I caught something different. You know I hate to say things that don't fit the facts in time. He's more like.fear of losing you, Petra."

Even.. Chief Hanji also confirmed?!

Petra ambushed, trying not to get a big head and thinking excessively. "Maybe he was worried about me because I was the only female member of his army. Yeah, maybe it's like that."

"Hee, but if it's more than that, it's okay, Petra. I will always support you! I hope you can melt and melt that midget's heart!"

"Hanji-san!" Petra's face successfully blushed.

"Come on, how many times have I caught you two. In fact, I didn't expect a Levi to be able to interact long enough with someone. In fact, I myself could not bear to linger looking at that stiff and creepy face because it would end up me being scolded by it. Only you can do it."

"I-that's it. I'm just trying to get to know Captain Levi more deeply because I think it should and because we're on the same team." Petra was getting embarrassed. However, his heart warmed and felt relieved knowing that. His belief was never wrong, that his captain was not someone bad.

"Well, you're so nice, Petra! Lucky Levi got you in his squad." Hanji patted Petra on the shoulder.

"Ah, I should be the one to thank you and Commander Erwin for receiving me in the Survey Corps, especially to Captain Levi who has chosen me directly in Special Operation Squad."

"Yes yes, Ginger Boy! But, sometimes it's okay to believe in your own heart, okay?"

Petra heard Nanaba's words. Yes, putting trust in our little hearts is better than putting our thoughts forward..

"Yes yes, porcupine hair!" petra won't lose. They both ended up sticking out their tongues.

"Jeez." Hanji patted his forehead while Eren chuckled at Petra and Nanaba's behavior.
