{Reader's Point of View}
Heaviness. That's all I felt. My entire body crushed beneath me and my breath became shallower by the seconds. The world around me blurred and my own blood started to coat my uniform. A part of my mental being, couldn't feel a thing. I felt empty, no longer having the energy to fight for my very own life. But on the other hand, there was one thing particularly on my mind. It was him. Levi Ackerman. I weakly smiled upon thinking about him. I had been a part of his squad for longer than any other and throughout all that time I had fallen madly for him. Every inch of being longed for him and yet I never once worked up the courage to tell him. What would he think if he saw me now? Would he be upset that his longest lasting cadet ended up getting herself killed? Or would he mourn me and miss the times we've spent together. I wished I knew.
"(Your name)!" I could barely hear it but I knew I heard my name. I couldn't make out how far it was or who had called for me, but I knew it was there. I turned my head to the way I figured I heard the voice. In the distance I could make out a figure but the darkness consumed far too much of me to tell who it was with vision alone. Finally, when the figure dropped to my side and held me it's arms, I knew who had come for me.
"Levi..." I whispered weakly. Blood I coughed up splattered onto his uniform. "You found me." I felt a tear drip down my cheek as I was finally able to make out his face. I tried lifting my arm to cup his face but didn't have the strength to do so. He must have noticed as he grabbed my hand and brought it up to his face for me. I smiled. A smile that was more than likely not very visible. I struggled to breathe and yet I continued to speak to the best of my ability. "I'm so happy that you are here by my side in these last moments." I continued to cough up blood.
"Don't speak. I need to get you to Hanji." I heard, for probably the first time ever, panic in his voice.
I managed to shake my head side to side once. "It's too late for me."
Levi shook his head and I felt as tears from him dropped onto my face. "No."
I smiled slightly wider. "I can't believe I made it to the day to see you cry; much less over silly ol' me." My eyes began to close, as I was sure to have lost too much blood by now.
"(Your name). You have to stay with me. Keep your eyes open." He gently shook me.
"Levi. I need to tell you now before it's too late. Please don't hate me for this. I love you, Levi. I always have and I always will. I'm sorry, I didn't have the courage to tell you sooner." My cheeks were soaked with my own tears and Levi's.
Right before I drifted into unconsciousness, I heard Levi's voice break. "I love you too, (Your name)." I couldn't help but smile as my eyes had shut completely and the world around me came to a silence.
~Time Skip~
My eyes fluttered open. Dim sunlight peaking in from a near window, illuminating what surrounded me. I turned my head around, in search of answers. Dead or alive? I wasn't for sure in the moment. It felt too quite for me to still be amongst the living. My eyes finally darted to my side as I heard whispers and realized it had been Levi I was hearing whispering for me to come back to him. I smiled, unable to move my entire body at the moment. Even if I wasn't alive, I was happy to see Levi once again. He had been looking down, his hands in my own; though I couldn't feel them at all.
"I guess I'm in Heaven if I'm seeing you again."
Levi jolted his head up, his cheeks showing dried tears. I gently smiled, my face being the only part of my body I could currently feel.
"Would you be upset if it wasn't heaven?"
"I must be alive then because I doubt I would see you in hell. And if that's the case, I'm even happier, because I get to be with you."
For the first time ever, I saw Levi smile. "And I get to be with you."
