mickey i need ur thoughts on jjk men (esp satoru) helping out and showing love for their partner with autism

like uuuuuuuu i was thinking abt toru keeping a pair of his sunglasses with him hust in case youre visually overwhelmed. ORRRR him teleporting you to a quieter space when he notices that theres too many complex sounds that are upsetting you.

ughhhhh like imagine one of them remembering that pressure is soothing for you and js puts their full body weight whenever you come back home from a bad day.

GUHHHH them keeping candles of your favorite scents and alwaya makes sure to keep your safe foods stocked up whenever you visit

OH NOW I'M REALLY KISSING YOU GRAY MY BELOVED!!! THIS IS SUCH A WONDERFUL LITTLE ASK WAHHH I GOT SO GIDDY

i agree with everything you said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now i know that every single one of them would do anything and everything to help you out!! but i did pick some things out that really made me think of them!!! anyway hello my fellow autistic ppl this one is for you all i love you very very much<333

satoru 100% carries extra sunglasses with him and i think he'd actually carry his black blindfold aswell. obvs he's not gonna make you wear it as you're moving through public but he'd lead you to a quiet spot and then just let you have a moment. he's either sitting you down next to him or he's holding you against his chest, protecting you from every single ray of light that could possibly make it any worse for you. bc honestly... sunglasses are sometimes just not enough for me personally. i've had my fair share of times where i just have to cover my eyes with my hands bc it just hurts so much.

we all know that satoru is a big yapper but i know he needs his quiet time too. i think he would love to just Do Nothing with you in complete silence. maybe you're both just taking a nap together, maybe you're just laying in the sun out in the park. maybe you're resting your head on his lap, maybe he's resting his on yours. it's all just about gentle touches and looks.

he loves it when you ramble and he's literally your biggest hypeman!! he's ready to spend all of his fucking money on you and any fucking equipment you could ever need. you want a new game or a new console? they're both already waiting for you at home. you want to start drawing? he has already ordered a tablet for you to practise on. you want to get into photography? he's buying you a camera and three different lenses. he wants you to be happy and he wants you to be able to do everything you could ever possibly want. he's just the sweetest guy ever i am crying rn actually:((

he's the best little autism bf btw. bc he gets it. he understand. he knows. he knows all about the light sensitivity. he knows all about the difficulty of eating "normal" foods, always munching on candy and snacks bc that's just easier. he knows about the fidgeting, he knows about the innate need to have somebody lay on top of you. he knows about the rambling and the hyperfixations. he knows about the confusing social clues and the ridiculous differences of speaking tones. he knows about the eye-contact problems - whether you're someone, who struggles to keep it or you're someone, who can't tear your eyes from everybody else just like him - he understands! he knows about being straighforward and speaking exactly what's on your mind and then being scolded for it. he knows about Not Really Understanding personal space. he truly does understand and he's ready to do anything and everything to help you cope with Life.

toji is theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee best weighted blanket and i stand by that. he's so fucking huge and he's so fucking heavy - he's perfect. he's gonna tease you about it but just a little!! you tug him by his hand and he gladly takes his place on top of you bc let's be honest... he's gonna love it, too. he's protecting you! he's taking care of you in a way that doesn't need words! he's trying his best! and if this is what you need - he is going to do it!!!

also with the light and sound sensitivity - he'd gladly pull you into his chest and cover your eyes with his big ass palm. and it would feel soo comforting wtf. the weight of it and just the fact that it's him?? fuck, i know it'd be so good. or your ears. he's placing them on your ears, muffling the overwhelming sounds while cradling you and wahh:(( he'd make you feel so safe.

suguru and shoko and parallel play. it's amazing. they will read a book while you're gaming. or suguru's painting while you're reading. or shoko's having her morning smoke and coffee while you're doing your skincare (i'm sorry i just can't get out the beautiful picture of her sitting on the little windowsill of your bathroom, a cig inbetween her fingers and a cup of coffe in her hand. no words are being spoken - it's just the sound of the birds outside, the water running and her gulping down her little espresso. thank you for listening.)

or suguru's doing his little home workout routine as you're crocheting. or it's you and shoko just laying on your shared bed scrolling on your phones in silence. could literally be whatever. they're gonna glance at you every once in a while, they're gonna ask how you're doing, how you're feeling and then they're gonna give you a tender smile and a kiss on your cheek and continue on. i'm melting just thinking about it.

suguru is obviously also going to be there for you if you have sleeping problems. he understands them all too well and he's pulling out all the stops to help you fall asleep (and himself). he's gonna make the tea one night and you'll make it the next night. it's equal. maybe you're also going to take a lovely little bath together, you'll giggle exhaustedly as you both slur out very stupid jokes and after that you'll both climb under the covers and take turns in listening to each others heartbeats and (hopefully) fall asleep.

shoko and sarcasm. she definitely makes a lot of sarcastic jokes and comments and she'll be a bit confused at first when you just blurt out the good-old "i don't know whether you're joking or not". but i think she'd find it super cute. she'll still occasionally make the comments but she'll make sure to check in whether you got it or not. i think she would tease but she'd do it very lightly (she definitely cackles when satoru doesn't understand sarcasm though lmao but you're her baby and she doesn't want you to feel bad). and i think she would love if you made terrible sarcastic jokes. like she would laugh until there are tears prickling in her eyes and you'd still be like ????? i don't understand and then she'd laugh even more. she's so cute.

kento is always ready to cook for you. he understands how hard it can be, how overwhelming it can be. he doesn't mind it a bit. i truly think this would be good for the both of you! he loves to cook and it's such a relaxing thing for him, and it's even better now that he knows he can see you fill your cheeks with delight. he needs you to eat well and he will make sure you do!

i also think that he's so patient with you and he'd never ever make you feel like you have to speak with him. he buys little plushies that you can turn inside-out, a pink side and a blue side - indicating how you're doing on the Speaking department that day. and these tiny interactive pins and you can express whatever you're feeling without ever speaking a word. he never pressures you in any way, always just reward you with more reassurance and a kiss to your temple.

he's ALSO the best listener. like he never talks over you. never. not even on an accident???? it's a superpower i think. he let's you talk at your own pace and he just stares at you with very soft eyes:((

wait i also think that shoko, utahime and yuki would gladly speak for you. in a sense of if you have social anxiety or you stutter or anything like that, they'd easily take up the task of ordering for you! they literally have all of your orders remembered and everything.

UMMM could i request tfa slipstream x blackarachnia or tfa blackarachnia x optimus?? or hust some tfa elita ANY WORKS thank u for readingg:3

Are we about to kiss right now?! (Yes.)

The lesbians. Usually I’d ngl go for Optimus and Blackarachnia (because Oplita forever) but ngl in any other continuity than tfa I always see her ass an absolute gay (Airachnid x Airazor my beloved…). So why not here too?!? Decided to make them shiny as well idk I felt like it. I feel like sending in a request for me is always like a spin the wheel of what style of art you’re getting. Nobody knows. Guess you’ll have to wait and see.

⚠️But just like for future reference, I do prefer when y’all either make up your minds when asking / send multiple asks because doing a game of chance every single time, hoping I do the “right one” is mf crazy LMFAO. I haven’t said it before this ask came in though so dw about it anon I needed to make that clear tbh. You can send anything in again if you wish for it to be done. ANYWAY!!

Actually love tfa, and this is again a fun pairing I had never considered before. I think they would be gay af though. Need to get a break from the boys and just make out at the girls sleepover. They’re too much to deal with.

It terrified me (Ryusui Nanami x GN reader fluff)

Request: Nope

Pairing: Ryusui Nanami x GN reader fluff

Synopsys: Being sick because you overworked yourself is not what you had in mind for today but it brings something very nice too with a certain captain.

Tw: angsty, bit of hust comfort, talk about being sick but nothing bad

Note: My phone died during my holiday and I bought a notebook to write this so I know that it's not the best. I hope you will like it :) I love Dr. Stone and the new season was amazing, can't wait for the next one !!

Ryusui never felt fear, he was the greediest man alive ! Why does he need to feel fear ? Even during the petrification, he was not afraid for his futur. But he met you and he fall hard. When Senku and the other "woke" him up and his eyes met yours...Ryusui knew he desires you.

Before the petrification, you were a student in marine biology and you were friend with Senku, Taiju and Yuzuhira. After your depetrification, you tried your best to help everyone with your science and knowledge. But you missed studying what you love so when the decision to build a ship was made, you were more than thrilled to start the constuction. You too, when Ryusui was depetrified, find him attractive rapidly after your eyes contact.

With his passion for sailling and yours for marine biology, the txo of you bounded quickly and in between your stories in the sea and helping Senku with the ship, everyone notice the simple flirt with each other.

You liked Ryusui and was not a surprise when you realized it. Maybe he was the greediest man but he was kind (especially with Suika), always wanted to help and Ryusui was determided thanks to his desire for everythings (plus he was handsome which didn't help your crush on him).

But builiding the ship was more important so you put mind and body literally on it to distract yourself. You redoubled your efforts and worked even harder when the sonar was ready to be used making you forget sometimes to eat or sleep. Senku was a little bit concerned for your health: being sick in the Stone World was not easy even with the sulfa drug. After a sort of little talk and a lot of apology from you, things became normal again. However, a few weeks later, you started again, neglejecting your health with too much work. Your skin your skin looked paler and paler and your eyebags became more visible. Ryusui was worried sick for you and was always here asking you if you were okay but you always brushed it off by saying thats it's just a cold, that it wil pass and to not worry about you.

Somedays later, you were with Taiju and Suika picking up plants and fruits, you knew it was not a good idea with your blurry vision and your tiredness but like always, you wanted to help. The sun was high and you felt weird

Suika: Are you okay Y/n ? You seem a bit lost...

Y/n: Yeah don't worry, I'm fin-

Suddenly a light headed feeling came over you and your vision worsened.

Suika: Y/n ?

Y/n: Don't worry, I just need a break, the heat's not helping.

Your head began to hurt really badly and the dizzy feeling wouldn't go away. Suika was worried now and before she could call Taiju, you fainted. Taiju, who heard the sound of your fall, ran over your uncunscious body and tried to "woke you up".

Taiju: Y/n ! Y/N !!

*in the Ishigami village*

Taiju: SENKUU !!

Everyone in the village turned their heads when they heard the panicked scream of their friend. Taiju were carrying you bridal style ,with Suika who were crying not far behind and ran quickly toward his geen haired friend. Senku was with the others Wise Commanders talking about all their unfinished tasks when Taiju arrived in front of them in a hurry with you in his arms, still uncunscious. Every eyes widened seeing in what state you were and quickly went over him.

Gen: What happened ?

Taiju: I don't know! They were with Suika and then they were on the floor unresponsive !

Suika arrived with Kohaku and after taking breathes to calm herself, she began telling what happened with a little bit more details.

Senku: Bring them to the laboratory. Now.

All of your friends followed Taiju toward the labo where he laid you on the bed and left you with Senku's science.

However, one person didn't follow, Ryusui couldn't move or speak, allof his body was shaking and his mind was blank. The only thing he could see was you, unresponsive and unconscious in the arms of Taiju...A shiver rolled down his spine and he knex: Ryusui never felt fear until now. The tought of loosing you terrified him and he hated it...He was so lost in his mind that he didn't feel Francois's presence and Suika taking his hand until she squeezd it.

Suika: Don't worry, the will be fine...They said in themsleves.

Francois: I have to agree with Miss Suika. Y/n is strong and it's not that that will stop them to follow their dream of navigation.

It gave him a little bit of hope and Ryusui squeezed back Suika's embrace and nodded to his chef.

Ryusui: Yeah, thank you.

Suika gave him a kind smile before she let him go to the lab with the others

Chrome: So it's not like Ruru's illness ? Because if it is, we need to give them the medecine.

Senku: No need. They just have an high fever because they overworked themselves. Y/n need to rest , take more care of their health and stop overso everything idiot.

Kohaku: So they will be fine ?

Senku: Didn't you listen Lioness ? Yes they're going to be fine.

Kohaku: I'm not a lioness !!

Gen: Okay, maybe we need to leave dear Y/n rest but leaving them alone might be not a great idea...What if their condition worsens ? Someone need to be with them.

Every person in the room knew what Gen was doing and decided to play along.

Chrome: Yeah good idea but with Senku we need to do some...science stuffs.

Chrome's acting was not the best and they all knew that. So they all gave one by one arguments and reasons to why they can't watch you to cover it.

Gen: And you dear Ryusui ? You're the only one who is not occupied. You could be with Y/n !

Everyone nodded their heads before hurrying out, leaving Ryusui and you alone without him saying anything. He was not dumb, knowing the mentalist, Gen saw right through him and knew about the desire he has for you. Ryusui sighed with a smilebefore entering more in the lab to take care of you the best he can.

*Night time*

Your eyes fluttered open, trying to adjust to the small light of a candle. You tried to get yourself into a sitting position but stopped quickly and laid down again immediately because of a terrible headache. You let out a grunt of pain before bringing your hand on your forehead.

Ryusui: Y/n ! You're finally awake ! How are you feeling ? Do you need anything?

You didn't know at first that Ryusui was there with you, to lost to even know were you where...Closing you eyes again, you turn your head to face him and open them to see a soft but worried smile on his face.

Y/n: What happened? Why I am in the lab ?

Ryusui: Well, you overworked yourself to the point of sickness and exhaustion so when you were with Taiju and Suika picking up plants, you fainted and Taiju took you here.

You let the information sunk in your head,making a note to yourself to thanks Taiju and Suika tomorrow.

Y/n: And why are you here ? Not that I don't appreciate it ! But Senku or maybe Chrome would have been the one I expect when I wake up sick.

Ryusui: You're doubting my medecine skills ?!

Y/n: You're a sailor !!

Ryusui: And ??

The captain made a false hurt expression to be dramatic, making you chuckle. You let out another grunt of pain because of your laugh which alerted Ryusui who quickly replaced the cold clothes on your forehead and neck that fell when you "sit up". Your checks which were already red because of your fever, reddened more because of (or thanks to) the proximity between the two of you.

His touches were gentle but you noticed that his hands were shaking slightly. Your eyes widened a little when you saw, right after, the worried frown on his face. You never saw him this scared,not even in the storm. He was always so confident (and greedy) that being the reason of his fear made you feel a bit guilty. A weird yet comfortable silence was in the room before you took Ryusui's hand to stop him.

Y/n: What's going on? I can tell that you're not okay.

Ryusui didn't respond immediately and a more saddened expression came on his handsome eyes. He was struggling to find the right answer and in the same time to maybe express his feelings for you. With this misadventure, the blond haired man knew that he needed to tell you before it's too late.

Ryusui: I...I was terrified. When I saw you unconscious in the arms of our friend my heart skipped a beat and not a good one. You were not moving, only your chest was and it seemed like you were on the verge of death. I couldn't move, fear overtook my body when everyone went to the lab to help Senku. I thought that we were loosing you, that I was loosing you and it terrified me...

Y/n: You didn't loose me Ryusui, I'm here and alive. Okay I'm not in my best shape but I'm not dead.

To accentuate your point, you out his hand on your (rapid) beating heart. You were now blushing hard and when he looked at you, you saw a faint redness on his checks making him more beautiful and less sad.

Ryusui: There also something else I need to tell you. It's maybe not the right time but it's very important.

You nodded your head for him to continue.

Ryusui: I love you Y/n, a lot. The thought of living without you scare me but not saying my desire for you before it's to late is scarier ! I love you since the first eye contact and days after days my desire grew.

All of your face was deep crimson red now, thanks to his confession, with a happy and soft smile on your lips. Squeezing his hand which was still on your heart, Ryusui looked at with hope squeezing your hand back.

Y/n: I...I desire you too Ryusui, since the first day and forever.

Your shaky confession made his eyes widened but a big smile appeared on his lips. Ryusui laughed of relief with his iconic laugh making you joining him with your own soft laugh to not hurt your throat or head again, still feeling sick.

The comfortable silence made you yawn so you slowly closed your eyes feeling rather tired.

Ryusui: When everything will be over. I will like take you on a date.

You smiled for yourself, still with you closed eyes.

Y/n: Yeah, I will like that if you do.

It was his turn to smile

Ryusui: I want to kiss you

You were already fast asleep when he said it so with a found look, Ryusui softly kissed your hand (still locked with his), listening to each breath you take, comforting himself that you're alive and now his.

*the next morning*

Everyone were relieved to see you in a better shape than yesterday and this time, Senku made it clear that you are not leaving your bed for 3 days even if you told him that you were ready to help again.

‘Kiss me, don’t leave me’

🔱x🦈

Disclaimer:reader is dark skinned and Amphy ofcourse. And my title got recommended to me by @miss-seanymph-pani

Genre: a pinch of Spice i think or maybe a pinch angst too?

Pairing: Poseidon x Amphitrite reader.

Setting: Academia Au

Tag list: @miss-seanymph-pani @monstertreden @tinyy-tea-cup @vilereign @nicasdreamer

Characters: Poseidon, Amphitrite Reader and some mentions of oceanus.

Language: English

Summary: You were sent to an elite school made for rich young adults. This was all thanks to your father overprotectiveness as he thought that sending you here would intervene with you marrying Poseidon. Unfortunately the man he wanted to protect you from had hust started his career as a teacher on this elite school

｡ ₊°༺❤︎༻°₊ ｡

You were walking in the halls of the academia. Despite it being elite, it had many members. Most of them were royals or had parents who held a lot of power. The academia specialized in helping students with finding what kind of job they wanted, for example if they wanted to to a different thing from what they studied in high school. Yet no one payed attention to the lessons. Why? Because most of them would simply take over jobs from their parents. That’s why the school had hired a new teacher in hopes that the students would behave since the former teacher quit.

You were stopped in front of the door of the classroom you were supposed to be in 6 minutes ago. You internally debated since now that you were late you could just skip it anyway. But, the principal of the school was a family friend of your father, and he would surely snitch you. Besides you didn’t even have a good reason to be late…and you even went off campus…so that would surely get you into trouble with your father. You sighed and sipped on a coffee you bought of campus. You decided that you’ll rather take that detention than to see ‘Mr.snitch’. You opened the door and were greeted with a quiet class. That was weird, very weird. Everyone was always chaotic and did whatever they pleased, they got away with it soo since they just usually bribed the teacher. You looked a bit confused and wanted to ask, that was when a cold monotone voice asked ‘You look lost.’ A man with blonde hair and blue half lidded eyes asked you, he wore a dark blue velvet suit and it looked great on him…but you didn’t recognize him. His back was turned to the class as he wrote on the white board, from his accent you immediately knew he was Greek….That mean he was new since most teachers were Atlantean. And lucky for you, you were known to challenge the newbies. ‘I think you’re the lost one, Mr...?’ You looked him up and down. This was going to be a though one. But you’ll manage it. You were sure of it. ‘That’s professor for you, Miss Amphitrite.’ You smiled at him response. You were known to have charming yet unreadable smile with dimples, something you inherited from your father. Poseidon’s eyes were still focused on the board before he put the cap on the whiteboard marker before he turned to you, his eyes still cold and extended his hand. You looked at him with one raised eyebrow, confused by his gesture. ‘Your drink.’ Poseidon said, noticing your violations of the rules no one kept to. Just this time you decided to behave and hand over your drink. ‘Careful, that one was a wait time of 13 minutes’ You said to him as you walked past him to your seat. Poseidon ignored your remark and placed the drink on his desk. He gave you a look before he got back to his boring lecture.

Your eyes watched his moves. He was confident and well reserved. Which would make him harder to crack, but you were no loser. You knew the moment he confiscated your drink that you’ll break him even more. You paid no attention to his lecture and instead pulled out your phone and did whatever you wanted. You opened your group chat, it was filled with lots of other’s who each were in their own lecture at the moment. Some of them were chatting about how they actually skipped theirs, while others talked about meeting after school off campus. You were typing something about maybe going to the convenience store. That was until the phone was snatched out of your hands. You looked up to Poseidon reading the messages on your phone. He even went as far to scroll up. You leaned back in your seat and waited for him to speak, which bothered Poseidon. How could you still be so care free about all of this? It infuriated him. ‘You can say goodbye about going to the convenience store, as well as this phone.’ This raised your attention, he was confiscating your phone. Something that had never happend before. You laughed at him in response. ‘You think this is funny?’ Poseidon asked you. He put the phone in his pocket and placed his hands on your desk. His eyes were narrowed and it was clear he was holding his tongue…which only made you laugh more. In his eyes you were just a privileged brat who had no respect for others. Your phone proved his statement, it was the newest in the collection and the case had an expensive brand on it too. ‘Be careful with that, professor. It costs more than your life.’ You joked to him. Even now with your phone in his hands you were still not even showing the fraction of respect. Poseidon clenched his jaw. He wanted to break your phone if it meant you’d showed the least of respect..but he had to remain calm. ‘If you have a problem with the way i handle things, you know where the door is.’ Poseidon said. He was expecting you to behave now and not disrupt his class unfortunately for him you were known to never listen. So you rose from your seat and walked towards the door, you grabbed the door clink and turned to him ‘I’m back after class.’ And with that you left the class. Poseidon looked at the door with his usual cold eyes, yet he was stunned. His eyes not leaving the door. He turned back to the white board with gritted teeth.

✰ ✰ ✰

You returned to the classroom after school had ended, you stepped into the classroom and was greeted with Poseidon sitting on by his desk. ‘After class, you said. You missed the next 4 periods you were supposed to follow.’ Poseidon said pinching the bridge of his nose. You acknowledged what he said, but you didn’t care for it at all. He noticed this which just infuriated him even more. How could you be so foolish?! He was at his limit with you and he has only been teaching you for one day, hell one period since you missed the rest. ‘You care for an Americano?’ You asked him holding the drink extended to him. ‘What did you put in it?’ Poseidon asked you suspiciously. He did not trust you at all. ‘Nothing, if you open the lid its a real pain to put it back on, so even if i wanted to, i can’t.’ You told him as you put the drink on his desk, you got him a Americano yes, but that didn’t explain why you missed 4 periods. ‘What were you doing off campus.’ Poseidon asked you as he signaled you so sit down in the front row, which you of course refused to do and instead sat on his desk. ‘I got my nails done and grabbed a drink…then i saw a store with some expensive clothes so of course i had to buy that-’ Poseidon interrupted you with a sigh. ‘Young lady, you do not miss 4 periods, especially without a good reason.’ Poseidon told you as he stood up. He stood in front of you, his hands on either side of the desk with you in the middle. He was kind of invading your personal space but you let it slide. ‘What do i have to do to make you behave respectful and not as an entitled brat.’ Poseidon spat at you, he was angry, very angry. But anger doesn’t get far with you, you laughed at him in response and tugged his tie which made him come even closer to you. ‘What are you willing to do?..’ You asked him, the same charming smile, your dark skin close to his pale skin, your eyes were seductive yet mysterious. Everything about you was so…beautiful and perfect. His breath was caught in his throat as he stared at you, you noticed the way he looked at you, he wants you. He was falling for your bait. You smiled and got even closer to him. He wanted to kiss you so bad, but he can’t. You’re a brat and you don’t deserve it…is what he thought. Yet he couldn’t help but feel the opposite. You gave him a smile before your hands reached for your button up shirt. Poseidon saw this and choked on air ‘D-don’t-’ He was a but too late as you had already unbuttoned the button. Your dark skinned breast were heard to miss. His eyes drifted even lower which made him let out a raspy and shocked grunt. He could see the darker skin of your nipples. He can’t take his eyes of it. It was so beautiful, so perfect. His mouth went dry as he felt you press your breast push on his chest. You were being too seductive, it was getting too much to bear. Way too much. His mouth was dry as he looked down at your breast.

‘My eyes are up here.’ You teased him. Poseidon tore his eyes off your cleavage and looked you in the eyes. He took a step back and turned his head to the side before he cleared his throat. ‘I think you should leave…’ he said, not daring to look at you. You got off of his desk and gave him a kiss on the cheek, this made his eyes widen even more as he refused to be anywhere near you. You only laughed at him which made him frown but he didn’t say anything. You walked to the door and spoke. ‘You should wear corsets, they will make your tiny waist even more visible.’ You winked back at him before heading out the door. Leaving a frozen and embarrassed Poseidon in his class room.

~Time skip~

Poseidon had his back to the students, the class was a little loud but he didn’t seem to mind, his mind was somewhere else…that was until the door to his classroom cracked again. He stopped writing and turned his head to the door, a little irritated to see who interrupted his lesson. Upon seeing you in the door way he let out a sigh of frustration. ‘Young lady, we talked about this. Now Go to your seat.’ Poseidon said as he turned back to the board. The class seemed to regain it’s chaotic nature as you sat down. Nobody paid attention to the things poseidon wrote on the board. Many of the students tried to mess with him, that included making comments on his appearance. Yet none of them got to him. Poseidon paid no attention to them and remained with his back to the class. ‘You have a nice waist.’ Poseidon froze upon hearing the comment Poseidon thought back to the little commotion the two of you had. He didn’t know why, but that comment pissed him off. He didn’t care who it was, he was way too angry to care anyway. ‘Get out.’ Poseidon said sternly to you. This confused you. You hadn’t said one word to him at all. ‘That wasn’t m- I. Said. Get. Out.’ You were interrupted by his stern voice. This was ridiculous. You hadn’t done anything besides being late. But it was better than going to the principals office, thats for sure…so for once you actually listened to him. When you rose from your seat and walked to the door poseidon spoke up again. ‘After class i expect you to be here. And not a moment later.’ Poseidon said, referring to yesterday when you were 4 periods later. You smiled at him again and grabbed the doorknob, twisting it and stepping out but just before that…there was a little smirk plastered onto his face. You narrowed your eyes but still stepped outside the classroom, choosing to ignore it for now.

After class you were standing outside the classroom, the halls were filled with students who were going to their dorm or hanging off campus, some of them even greeted you and gave you their best wishes since you had to he alone with Poseidon in his classroom. After everyone in your class had left you stepped into the classroom. Poseidon was sitting by his desk. His eyes locked onto yours. You waled closer to him and leaned against his desk. ‘So…what do you want?’ You asked him, slightly smirking at him. Poseidon stood up from his desk and and trapped you in between his arms, both of them by each of your sides. His face quite close to yours. his eyes half lidded and lips slightly parted. There was a certain look in his eyes as he stared at your big glossy lips for a few moments. ‘You gonna apologize or what?’ You asked him as you stared into his eyes. He scoffed, though his smirk remained. ‘Apologize for what?’ He asked you, still invading your personal space. Poseidon softly brushed his lips against yours. He closed his eyes, his hands grazing the wood of the desk until they reached your hips. Poseidon pressed his forehead against yours his lips parting even more before he spoke in a barely audible whisper. ‘I’m failing you and getting you expelled…only then could you become fully mine.’ His hands had reached your back by the time he was done speaking. His lips were millimeters away from yours. You could feel his breath on your face. He was totally crazy about you. And this made you smirk. You gently pushed him to let him sit in his seat. Poseidon still held onto your hips and looked up at you, his eyes filled with different emotions all at once. His breathing got heavy as you leaned into him. What was he feeling? Love? Passion? Desire? Anticipation? He couldn’t pin point it but he didn’t mind. His mind was way too focused on you and your lips. You leaned in even more while Poseidon brought one hand to your cheek. He looked at you as if you were his only purpose in life, as if you were the reason why he even put up with this school at all. He couldn’t help but desire you in a way he never felt towards anyone. Not even past lovers…His lips got closer to you, way closer than before….And thats when you pulled away. His eyes snapped open, his eyes held a confused expression, perhaps even a pained one. He was so stunned that he couldn’t say anything for a few moments. He watched you as you pulled back with a smirk and walked towards the door. You were smirking as if you had won. ‘Kiss me, don’t leave me…’ Poseidon said in a soft voice. His eyes never leaving your figure who now stood at the door way. ‘A kiss from me will costs you a lot.’ You replies with a flirty voice. Poseidon’s parted lips closed and he clenched his jaw. ‘Fine…you win’ Poseidon said, yet his voice didn’t sound angry at all…it was more in a lovable way. He watched you walk out of his classroom in silence with only the fast beating of his heart being audible. He didn’t care that you pushed him away. Because he the moment you decided you pulled away him was the moment he knew he would be yours instead…

I did an art trade with the amazing @happyrome0 ! We each sent each other sketches thats the other rendered. I made this page of sketches

And these are the drawings i rendered! ^^

For the first render I did, I wanted to do a watercolor peice because thats my main style at the moment, so I printed out the sketch page Rome0 sent me and transfered it onto watercolor paper

My second render was done via mouse, because I forgot my tablet pen during a 3 hour studio class... yknow how it is.

The third render was actually the reason I approached Rome0 for an art trade. I was rendering Tango in this style and I was like. Man. This would look really good in the solidaritydaily style. And I went wait thats my mutual I can just ask. So BOOM art trade >:0

WIP Tag Game

I was tagged by @orangecoluredsky to share a snippet. Thank you for tagging me!

Rules: Share a snippet from whatever you’re currently working on, and then tag 5 people.

From Madness of Memories and What Could Have Been:

Apparently, it was up to Kingsley to tell her everything and ask the final question. Despite Ron's vague assurances, it still felt like a guillotine waiting above her head, swaying in the breeze.

She'd been so self-absorbed— as much as it hurt to realise— to notice what was going on in the world around her besides the papers that crossed her desk. Sure, she knew about the plight of hags who were attempting to integrate into society now that they had Moonshine's potion, that relations with centaurs and merfolk were tense, and that werewolves were facing some of the worst persecution in the past thirty years.

She hadn't known how fragile Kingsley's position as Minister for Magic was. That her divorce was finalised amidst sweeping reforms to magical law that was barely popular in the first place. That it was already chaffing the purebloods that their power over the Ministry was being challenged. Didn't realise that the claims of muggleborns attacking magical tradition were part of a broader argument being picked up by unsettled purebloods.

How Travers and Doyle treated her during the husting made more sense now. They had been leaning into the public unrest and distrust of the new reforms. Using the growing bigotry to encourage the judges to let the pureblood Weasleys pursue 'better' marriages away from 'lesser' blood. Framing their marriages to feed the bias of how Harry and Hermione weren't worthy spouses.

Used it to paint her as little more than an animal, because that's what half of the judges wanted to believe.

A lump rose up in her throat memories howled at her, but she wasn't going to face them. Not now. Not now. She shoved the observation room of the husting back to it's dark corner of the Ministry in her mind.

chapter 24| Fracture

WC-6.2k

Summary

The underground is filthy and dark. Dim lights, dull alleys, and desperate hearts. A place Levi knows as well as the back of his hand, and a place he would do anything to get out of.

Chapters of life roll by and with the turn of a page, things drastically change. In front of him is the opportunity to live on the surface. And the flimsy bridge that he has to cross. From an uncivil criminal to a disciplined soldier.

But life on the surface seems tougher amidst all the mockery, civilities, and the gaping hole left in his heart, after the demise of his dear friends Isabel and Farlan.

Content/Warnings

canon- compliant, canon-typical violence, spoilers for No Regrets OVA, descriptions of PTSD, grief, depression, heavy angst and themes, strong language, self-hate, physical assault.

MAR 850

Trost is busy as usual.

It's 10 in the morning, and the streets echo with the clatter of horse-drawn carriages and the rhythmic click-clack of shoes. People hurry to work and shops begin to open their wooden shutters.

Vendors yell, as they sell fruit and bread to workers walking in haste. It's rowdy and loud. And the stray cats dare to sleep in a corner of the husting pavement.

It's just another mundane day that flows its usual course.

And Mae sits on the edge of her bed, holding the painting of her and Levi that she keeps on her nightstand.

She faintly remembers the lingering kiss he pressed on her forehead. The sun hadn't risen then, and she was a little too sleepy to decipher the sweet words he was mumbling to her.

When she woke up, her bed was cold and the sun was out.

The day had begun, not waiting for anyone. And Levi was outside the walls. Back to being the dutiful warrior, scourged with the responsibility to save the world.

"Do your best Levi, be a good soldier and I'll try to be a good doctor too." She mumbles, after planting a long peck on the painting.

And she picks up her briefcase, and walks into the day.

Flowing along with the fast pace of the world.

The months of March have always been hot. Heat envelops the ground in a sweltering blaze, and Mae's hands feel clammy the moment she steps out.

"Good morning Doctor," a voice calls from the crowd, and she swivels around.

A familiar mop of blonde hair filters through the passersby. It's Julie. The trainee who's been interning under her for 4 months now.

Time has flown and it's already been 2 years since she decided to start her own clinic. And by God's grace, everything has played out well. Her clinic has become quite popular, and there's always a line of regulars at her door.

"I met Michael yesterday, he told me to pass his thanks to you." Julie says, as she catches up to Mae.

And Mae's chest swells up with pride. She remembers the scrawny boy infected with a fatal case of jaundice. "Oh that's lovely," she chimes. "I'm glad he's doing alright now!"

They continue trekking forward the uphill slope. Her clinic is just a few minutes away. The incoherent chatter of the pedestrians fills up their own lack of conversation. There is peace in such chaos that is so known.

Then, a loud boom intrudes. Loud enough that Mae has to press her hands over her ears.

Light forks through the clouds, piercing through the air and dissolving into the land. Electricity cackles through the wind.

Lightening. So close to the wall

And Mae keeps a hand over her beating heart, reassuring herself that it's just lightening and that's all.

Wind starts blowing with ferocity, so fast that Mae can hear it ripping past her ears. Heat surges past the walls, as if charged with a jolt. And the ground starts trembling. As if all natural disasters ever known to mankind are crowding up this very moment.

Birds flee from the tree tops, scared, and stray cats dash towards the inner parts of Trost.

And confusion hovers heavy, on everyone's mind, as they stand unsure of the catastrophe that has fallen upon them.

Time stills, it halts, it rots.

And Mae's breath gets caught in her throat as a giant muscular creature arises past the wall.

Its face red, with an angry glare. The Colossal titan.

An eerie silence spreads through the town, like forest fire. And every mouth shuts close as the gate that protects humanity bursts into pieces a second later.

Broken shards of the gate get hurled into the sky. Its pieces, huge and small.

Smaller pebbles fly higher, fall further. A few land on Mae as well, digging into her supple flesh until blood sprouts out. It's a rain of devastation.

The chaos around helps reality settle. And people start to push, pull and run. The end is near, the titans have returned and death is the only thing that welcomes them with open arms.

Julie darts for the inner gates as well, frantic and fearful.

But Mae remains frozen.

Her house... it was just 5 mins away from the gate of Trost.

Sheer curiosity mixed with fear, makes her stagger forward. And she gets up on her toes, hoping she gets to see her house standing straight, like it always is.

But the world is cruel, and hope is only meant to be crushed. Just like her house that now stands in complete ruins.

The walls she decorated with so much love, the roof she built so many wonderful memories under. It's all lost now. Demolished and bygone.

Replaced by a boulder and a mound of destruction.

The pebbles littered around start to rattle and the ground thumps a cry for caution.

The titans enter through the broken gate, and Mae shudders at the way the earth trembles with their every step.

She sees the creatures who have taken everything from her. Her parents, her friends, and who threaten to take her lover as well.

A smile stretches on their face from one end to another. As if this is all fun and games. And Mae feels any ounce of hope disseminate.

Stones start rolling, picking up a pace. Windows shatter under the sheer force of their pace. And Mae feels the ground reverberates, as a titan enters the alley she stands in.

When its predatory gaze falls on hers, time almost pauses.

The thumps of the titan get louder as it walks closer. And Mae feels each of its footsteps jolting through her frame. The hair at the back of her neck stand in fear, and her life flashes in front of her.

She reminisces about how much she has missed her mother's embrace and her fathers voice. And maybe it's time to finally go back home. Too a place where things will always be peaceful.

The moment makes her feel so weak but so grateful. So fragile, yet so strong in her surrender.

And so she sits there, in an unusual state of calmness. She's never been much of a fighter anyway. She's always accepted destiny the way it has come to her.

"GET UP MISS! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" A soldier shouts from behind.

The hooks of his ODM gear attach to the crevices on the walls beside her, and he swings forward with full force. Forcing his sense of duty to overcome his fear.

And she witnesses the terror of the titans.

A single swat is all it takes.

As if these trained soldiers are nothing but mere flies, a toy for them to play with.

The blood of the soldier splatters to the ground. And his body breaks into two with an abominable crunch. His upper half now dangles down from the titans mouth, and his gut falls to the floor.

In the background, the clink of silver echoes, the clash of the blades, and the sound of the ODM zipping through the air.

At this very moment, countless other soldiers are also fighting the titans. They grunt, they yelp. They scream for help.

"Levi," the word leaves her lips like a mantra. For a moment those are the only words she can recall.

And her mind pieces together the picture of hersilver eyed lover, with words of steel and a heart of unfathomable strength.Her staunch lover, fighting against all the odds, with so much determination sometimes she wonders where it all even stems from?

All of a sudden she can't fathom the hell Levi goes through on a mission. All of a sudden, she doesn't know whether he'll make it alive either. Because hearing stories of the titan's devastation is nothing compared to personally experiencing their soul crushing power.

And she can only trust that he will do everything to come back alive as well, because she won't leave him alone in this hellhole.

Her shoulder still hurts, fresh with the small pebbles stuck inside her skin. But the strength in her heart is so much more than that.

And so she gets up and runs. She gets up and runs while the titan is still busy devouring the soldier.

She runs at the imagery of Levi sitting by her grave, completely numb. Regretting opening up his walls to someone who left him as well.

Her knees feel weak, and her heart burns with exhaustion. But the desire to survive pumps through her blood. She can't die at this point.

Not when she and Levi still have so many things left to do.

The gates that lead inside Rose soon enter her vision.

It stands blocked not by people, but by a giant wagon.

And in front of it, stands Reese and his men. Reinforcing their dominance.

"THE LAND OF SINA WILL NEVER PROVIDE FOR US." Reese yells, as he stands defensively in front of the wagon. "THIS IS TO HELP ALL OF US." He hides his selfish motives under the fickle name of philanthropy.

Five of his men try their level best to push the wagon through the gates. But the enormity of the wagon repeatedly makes them fail. Countless lives are on the line at this very moment, countless lives are being sacrificed to buy time for every breath.

"Julie!" Mae gasps in between her rushed breaths. And she jogs towards the familiar face. "What's happening here, why aren't we being let in?"

"Doctor!' Julie chokes as she lunges forward and wraps her arms around Mae." I'm so sorry I left you behind... I just panicked and couldn't think." Her eyes are wet, brimming with tears. And Mae can feel her fear with the way she shivers in her embrace.

"It's okay... everything will be fine once we get in." Mae pets her back comfortingly. "You're going to go in and see your family, right?

"But he isn't budging, " Julie sighs as she breaks the hug. "It's been a while, he isn't listening to anyone..."

Cries echo in the background and Mae winces at the sound. Soldiers are dying every second and yet here, time is being wasted over a silly fight like this.

Minutes pass by slowly, the tension is palpable, but Reese stays adamant. And the fight only breaks off when heavy thumps start echoing through the ground.

A titan dashes towards the crowd. Sprinting fast with his hands unusually flapping around.

Soldiers trail behind it but fail to keep up with the pace it rushes in. The color drains from Reese's face. And people start squeezing towards the gate, faced with death once again.

Miraculously, a soldier zips forward, and catches up to the crazy momentum of the titan.

It's a girl.

Her build is strong and muscular, and her red scarf trails behind her as she cuts through the air and slices the titan's nape with ease.

In a second the titan falls to the floor, deceased. And Mae can only imagine that watching Levi slay the titans would be as much of a wonder, as watching her is.

Reese gives up on his wagon as soon as the girl's blade lands on his shoulder. And Mae's chest swells up with pride for all these soldiers fighting selflessly for the people around her

It only takes about five minutes for all the crowd to filter through the gate. Finally in a place that's relatively safe.

The citizens of Jinae are already lined up against the canal, fighting to get into the last ship on the port. And now the people from Trost start rushing too. There is no way everyone would be able to fit into a single ship.

A group of senior Garrison soldiers overlook the evacuation. Asking people for money to enter the ship. It's probably a strategy to weed out the weak, after all everyone knows that the land of Sina, isn't enough to sustain the entire population.

And civilians fight. They leap over the canal. Push past the lines, and fight, just to get a spot on a ship that's so close to leaving. .

Julie checks through her pocket "Oh! I have the money," she sighs in relief, almost darting towards the line of people who stand privileged and cashed.

But she stops when she notices that Mae still stands behind, with her face downcast.

"Doctor... don't you have the money?" The question hangs heavily in the air. And Juile's face turns mortified at a beat of silence that passes by.

There's a fight everywhere, with the titans and also amongst the humans. The only people who don't fight are the soldiers who sit wounded on the bench. Defeated in every sense.

"It's unfair and cruel, how these soldiers are selflessly fighting for people that are rushing to leave them all alone in this hell hole... " Mae confesses in a timid whisper. "And the fact that I'm a doctor and I could possibly be of help makes me feel even worse."

The truth hardly matters in the face of death. Survival is what comes first.

"I'm sorry doctor...I can't stay and help them," Julie urges, her voice thick with emotion. "I have a family waiting for me. And staying here is as good as dying... We don't know when the armored titan will come... And I don't want to die yet... not now when I have hardly achieved anything for myself."

In a way Mae sees a version of herself in Julie as well. The girl who would do anything to save her family. The girl who would always look after herself.

Levi would want her to run away as well. Get as far from the walls as possible. She remembers all the times he would wake up, from his nightmares. Quaintly silent and tired, and how he'd mutter to her all the ways she should escape from a titan, if the gates of Trost ever break.

But it just doesn't feel right.

Not when she knows she can be of help, and soldiers are dying left and right.

After all, these are Levi's men.

The men who fight alongside him. The men who he's promised to protect.

In a sense, she feels responsible for them as well.

And Julie knows Mae's choice is made, when Mae picks her briefcase up with a bittersweet smile tugging on her lips.

"Take care doctor," she wistfully says before walking away.

A couple moments later, the ship departs, crowded to the brim.

Silence fills the place. And the chaos calms in the most unsettling of ways.

The port is empty now, but the roads are crowded. People wait for another ship, shaking their feet and biting their lip in nervousness

"Here, let me help you." Mae walks over to the wounded soldiers and lays her equipment next to them. Her briefcase opens with a click. But the soldiers don't look up, not even when she crouches down next to them.

Turns out most of them aren't even soldiers yet, they're just graduates.

They sit mangled and broken. Taking a moment's rest before duty calls them again.

No one knows what will happen next. The armored titan can appear any moment.

And Mae finds both distraction and solace, in healing these soldiers who sit so defeated.

She wants to see Levi. She wants to see Levi so badly that she's ready to step out of the walls just to catch a glimpse of him.

It's the only thing she wants to do before she dies.

And these soldiers that she tends to are the only thing that's closest to him. Their influx is constant. It's almost overwhelming how they all jump over the wall. Fleeting from the hell that is Trost.

It takes almost an hour for another ship to come in. And hope dares to seep back as the sound of a ship's whistle pierces through the air. People rush, as if life has been breathed into them. The commotion comes alive again.

"Mae..." A familiar shriek reaches her ear, and she swivels around to find Raz rushing towards her with tears brimming in her eyes. And Mae leaves her equipment aside and runs towards her too.

"Raz!" She pulls her into a hug. "I'm so glad you're alright... I thought you must have boarded the ship already, what took you so long?"

And Raz holds onto Mae tighter as she catches her breath.

A second later, her lover arrives too, taking his place next to her.

"Everyone in the city left, there were no carriages, nothing, I had to run all the way," She pants. And Mae smiles as she sees the way Raz's lover looks at her, with the gentlest of gazes.

A couple of abusive relationships later, Raz has finally found someone worth her love. And Mae couldn't be happier.

"Come let's board the ship, and get the hell out of here." Raz's fingers wrap around Mae's wrist and she pulls her along, to the line of people waiting to get inside.

"Raz! They are asking for money!" Mae warns. "50 pennies per person."

"50?" Her lover speaks up. His voice falters and his fingers fumble through the compartments of his wallet. And with the most heartbroken of looks, he says, "I only have money for one."

Raz's lips fall into a thin line and she starts digging her nails into her skin. It's something she does when she is extremely nervous.

The clock ticks. And past the wall are soldiers fighting for every moment's survival.

And Mae knows that when Raz is stressed, she can hardly think.

"What will you do Raz?" Mae intercepts. "Run to your house that's miles away. Might I remind you it took you almost 45 minutes to reach here in the first place?... We don't know when the armored titan will appear and break the gates again."

"THEN WHAT ARE YOU SUGGESTING MAE?... Waiting here for another ship to come here and running back to get the money is the same isn't it?." Frustration quells Raz's tone and her voice breaks into a sob.

Her lover pulls her into his arms. And Mae can see her shoulders quiver as she cries into his chest. "It's okay honey, you can go... I'll wait for another ship," he mumbles into her hair.

And now both of them have partners, who truly care for them. They have found love, they have found hope. They have found someone worth fighting for.

And so Mae draws out her wallet, and picks out the 50. "Here I have the money for one ticket," she says as she hands the notes to Raz

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SAYING?" Raz's eyebrows contort in rage and tears spill out of her eyes. "THAT I'LL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND LEAVE YOU BEHIND?"

And Mae places both of her hands on Raz's. Enclosing the money into her palm with a sense of calmness. "I'm telling you to go with your lover... while I'll wait here for mine."

━━━━━━━━━━━━

The air outside the walls always feels fresher.

But the blood that slowly drips down Levi's hand feels stale. And the hand he is clasping onto slowly runs cold.

"He's gone," Petra wistfully mumbles as she silently cries. And Levi squeezes onto it tighter hoping to force back some life into the corpse that lays in front of him.

Another dead, just like countless others.

"Did he hear everything I said?" he asks. Hoping that the soldier found some solace in his words.

"Yes captain... he must have." Petra smiles. "Look at his face, it's so peaceful."

And Levi sighs. Beautiful lies. They're all beautiful lies.

He promises his men that he'll annihilate all the titans. That their sacrifice wouldn't go to waste. But he wonders if he's capable enough to actually keep up with all the words he spouts.

"Good," he mutters, as he stands up. There's a mission in front of him, and a promise that has to be completed.

"LEVI," Erwin calls out, as he rushes on his horse. "We need to pull back."

And Levi's face contorts to one of disobedience. "Why...?" He sneers. "You damn well know that we can push further.... My men didn't die for us to retreat."

"The titans are heading south, towards Trost. It's just like 5 years ago."

And Levi is quick to hop his horse and gallop ahead, a single thought running through his head.

Mae

It feels like time has stopped its usual passage. It's heavier now. And every moment feels all too slow yet all too fast at the same time.

The ruins of the buildings blend into grasslands. The tall trees, the luscious grass, and the vast sky blazes past him. Everything is a blur now.

And Levi's hands tremble, even as they hold onto the reins of his horse.

"You need to calm down, Levi." Erwin says, as catches up to him. But it falls on deaf ears.

And he continues speeding ahead all by himself. Not caring if he's left all alone in titan territory.

Because every minute wasted here could be her last moment in this world.

And the rate of his heartbeat only escalates as he reaches closer to the gates.

It's just like 5 years ago. A breach in the gate, and titans crowding at the small entrance.

A lump forms in his throat. And he hooks his ODM gear into the crevices of the now breached wall, jumping upward and flipping over to the other side.

His eyes are red with both rage and panic. And he swiftly slashes the 2 titans that stand just at the entrance, and he lands on their corpse

His eyes scan through the destroyed town. The edges of the town are completely shattered. Littered with half eaten bodies, boulders and splatters of blood. Answers await him here. He hopes they are in his favor, he hopes she's made it alive somehow.

There's three kids behind him, a little too frazzled to give a coherent response.

"Oi brats, what's going on here?" He asks them.

But they hardly utter any words. And so he launches the hooks of his gear, and darts forward. Into the familiar lanes that lead to her house.

Everything stands shattered. Rooftops fallen and houses crushed under boulders. And he freezes mid-air when he sees the condition of her house.

It's hardly recognizable now. Only a single wall stands. Everything else lies in a mound of destruction.

His landing is rather forceful, knocking the air out of his lungs. "Mae." He chokes, his voice barely above a whisper, as he walks towards the ruins.

"Mae... where are you?" He calls out again, just the way he would after he was back from a tiring trip. He starts digging through the debris, lifting up the heavy boulders one by one, to catch a glimpse of the off-white midi dress she would always wear to work.

Somewhere in the ruins, he finds the painting of both of them, crushed under a huge slab of wood. His breath shudders. Fingers trembling as he carefully takes the pieces out from the frame.

Its glass has shattered, and the drawing inside is torn.

The sight breaks him. And he falls to his knees.

She looks so happy here, with her smile reaching her eyes. And he was happy too, even though she'd forced him to sit down for hours to get this painting done.

And now they are torn apart. His face is crumbled, and there's a rip that stretches from the corner of the page to her face.

A heavy lump grows in his throat. For a moment he's unable to process a single thing.

No knife can hurt him, because his skin is hardened with scars. And no tragedy can hold him back, because he's drowned in misery all his life.

But the loss of a love that he's never felt before can indefinitely break him.

And he sits there in shambles.

Time has stilled, and peril still hangs around. He must get up and get going, but he can't find the will too. He's lost his determination, his calm, his soul, his everything.

And all that remains is his physical body, that cages him to this hell of a world.

"Levi," Erwin's voice rings somewhere in the distance. But he doesn't find the energy to walk towards it.

Urgent taps break him out of his reverie and Levi turns to face his commander. "All the civilians were rescued... some of them are in Jinae, while most have started moving past that already. In fear of the Armored titan."

And as always Levi finds a glimmer of hope in his sky blue orbs. "You think she's alive?" he cuts through, still in disbelief.

"She must be... " Erwin says, with a reassuring smile on his face. "Now go! We can easily handle the rest here."

And Levi heavily gulps, throwing a grateful nod, "Thank you... Erwin."

Hope glimmers in his heart, like a spark of a fire. And with that he races towards the inner walls, with his momentum so fast, that his fuel runs out.

He harshly crashes on the top of the wall. The skin on his knees scathes.

But his body is immune to the pain. And his feet carry him forward with a will of their own.

He runs through the horde of soldiers that stand on the top of the wall. Eyes scanning past everyone, searching for her familial short stature. Every breath he takes, is only with the intention of finding her.

"Have you seen Mae? Dr. Mae Edler?" He urges frantically.

Logically thinking, none of the soldiers could ever possibly know who Mae is? Or focus any attention on her with all that was happening around.

But Levi is desperate. He has lost the ability to think straight.

And all he gets in return, are blank stares and puzzled faces. It makes him frustrated, but he's still relentless. Unyielding in his faith to find her alive.

And he can only hope that somewhere, someone would have seen her safe. Boarding the ship to Sina. Away from this hell.

And so he pushes past the crowd. Uncaring that his carefully built stoic facade is now falling apart,

"Have you seen Dr. Mae Edler around?" Every soldier he bumps into. "Do you know Dr. Mae Edler? Have you seen her around?" He asks the same question

"Dr. Mae Edler... please tell me you know of her?" It's the only statement that leaves his mouth.

"Are you talking about the doctor on the top of the wall?" A soldier finally tells him something resourceful.

And Levi runs as if there is no tomorrow.

Heart racing, muscles burning and eyes glossy with unshed tears.

His pace slows when her voice falls on her ears. "Morris, get me some more bandages and some salve from the closest hospital." She commands a soldier who isn't as injured.

And soon he spots her tiny figure. Overwhelmed by the sea of injured soldiers that crowd around her.

She's seated on the floor, with all her medical equipment layed out in front of her. And Levi notices the way her back slouches with tiredness. Levi notices the way her lips tremble, as she holds back her own cries.

Her hair is disheveled, and her face is smeared with dirt. And perhaps what makes her beautiful is not her appearance, but what she does in her courage.

He wants to crumble in her arms, and let her kiss his tiredness away. But she's out there, working. Keeping her duty before him. Keeping her logic before her emotions.

He couldn't have been prouder.

And so he takes a seat on the wall, watching her work from a distance.

The top of the wall slowly starts to get vacant. As soldiers start to settle into Trost, looking for food and accommodation.

Erwins taps on Levi's shoulder, informing him that he's headed for a meeting with Pixis. Hange excitedly tells him that two titans have been trapped and can be finally experimented on. And it's only when the sun starts to fade, that Mae finally tends to the wounds of the last soldier.

And slowly Levi makes his way towards her. He's waited so so long to hold her again.

"Doctor," he mumbles in a rather gruff voice.

And Mae swears her heart stops for a few moments when she's met with his gaze.

The flame of life begins to rekindle again. And shards of relief, hope and faith crash as normally as they can.

"Levi..." she breaks into a sob . She thought he wouldn't have survived, but now he's come back to her, just like he always does.

Her arms stretch out, and wrap around his neck, and he lets her pull him down to the floor.

The crowd on the top of the walls has almost disappeared now. And the sun is setting as well. Flurries of white cloud, and pink sky meet above the setting sun.

And Mae and Levi hold each other close. Their wounds are still bleeding, and their body still aches. But their hearts have been mended immeasurably.

"Come doctor, let me dress your wounds now," Levi murmurs fondly, as he presses a kiss on the top of her head. His eyes are moist too, heavy with all the emotions he's felt.

And Mae nods against his chest, with the biggest smile on her face. Grateful, that she's finally home.

The world is still full of war, fear and destruction. But there is love and magic between them.

And so, hope prevails.

━━━━━━━━━━━━

The evening sky is dull because of all the smoke that clouds up.

Plumes of black soot rise up, following the vibrant blue like a shadow. Vultures hover around the town, flying around in circles. Their cries are ominous and piercing, and their gaze is stuck on the feast in front of them.

Cinders float around in the air, mixing with the air that people intake.

And Mae stands alongside the group of people that circle the empty ground, watching the bodies of the dead soldiers being burnt.

The scene unfolding tastes so bitter. Valiant soldiers who died protecting their people but didn't even get a burial. Instead they had to be burned. It's what had to be done, to stop the spread of an epidemic.

The searing heat makes it difficult to breathe, or maybe it's not the heat at all and just the fact that the end is near. And it's not just death that lurks around the corner. Its extinction.

Mae's shoulders tremble, and her eyes burn with unshed tears as she looks at the sight in front of her. And all of a sudden all the warnings Mr. Mendes gave her, hit her in the gut.

And all the desperate things he did to live in the interior make sense.

From the safety of her home she could have never comprehended the impending doom, and the threat that the titans were.

It's been hours since the fight, but the smell of death hasn't weakened. The feeling of dread hasn't disappeared.

The town is in ruins. Houses crushed, walls scorched, and people conquered. And all that remains now is this painting of devastation.

So much had happened today. It's all too overwhelming.

The breach in the wall was blocked by a big stone, by some Titan kid. It was the first victory humanity had ever tasted. Nurses and doctors arrived as soon as Trost was declared safe.

And since Mae had stuck around since the start, the military officials made her the chief doctor for the rescue operation.

They had to scout through the ruins of her town, identifying the dead, and disposing of their bodies, so an epidemic doesn't spread.

Harsh decisions had to be made. And it was disturbing to see all the dead bodies that now littered the streets she used to travel in everyday.

Severed limbs and blood was everywhere. And some of the faces were mangled so brutally, they weren't even recognisable.

Worst of all was the titan puke. A giant ball of mangled, half eaten bodies mixed with blood clots and internal organs. And Mae had to stay there, tasked with identifying all the dead bodies stuck in that lump.

Losing count of all the times the sight made her puke.

The tears slip out with ease. She just can't hold them in anymore. She's tried to stay brave and composed all day now.

And she wraps her arm around herself, in an attempt to steady her shuddering heart. It feels dizzying to even stand upright.

"Oi, doctor," A voice calls out. It's familiar and it puts her heart at ease a little. She looks up and her eyes meet Levi's.

"Follow me." He says with a stern look on his face.

And Mae follows Levi thoughtlessly.

To everyone it just looks like the Captain of the Survey Corps, calling the chief doctor to discuss a plan. And Levi makes sure to keep his cold facade until they walk deeper, into the more congested parts of the town. One packed with tiny houses and shops.

Slowly then, he slips his hand into hers.

The streets get darker, the settlements lay abandoned and the only light glimmering is from the torch Levi holds in his other hand.

A few minutes pass by, and then he halts at an alley's corner.

He keeps the torch aside, and pulls her into his arms. Lovingly, dotingly, gently.

And Mae finds herself in a place that is warm. Squeezed between Levi and the wall. For a moment it feels like everything in this world will be alright.

Her distress falls out in the form of loud sobs, and she buries her tears away into Levi's chest.

"I'm here... I'm here." He coos as he pets the top of her head.

It's the only solace he can provide, because no one knows what the future holds. No one knows if things are going to be alright tomorrow. And no one knows if they are going to get to spend another day together.

They can only preserve this moment of sacred silence.

Nothing has to be said, because the both of them are scared. It can be felt in the way Mae's shoulder trembles despite the warmth of Levi's embrace. And in the way Levi's breath shudders as he places a lingering kiss on her forehead.

In a spur of the moment, the world has changed. Obviously their relationship will also never be the same.

The doom of humanity isn't a distant idea talked about in religious books any more. It feels tangible now. Like the only place they are headed towards.

"Come let's have some rest.... You look like shit, you've been working all day." Levi offers as he wipes the tears rolling down her face.

"B-but my h-house... my house, i-it's gone."

"You'll be staying with me, obviously... silly." He flicks her forehead, and ruffles her hair. "Erwin has booked a room in a hotel for us."

And they walk through the dark, narrow streets together.

Midway, Levi finds the painting of them that lays in his pocket. Now torn and ripped apart by cruel fate.

He'll ask Moblit to replicate this painting he thinks to himself. And he'll also tell him to make another small copy of just Mae. So that he can keep it with him, in his wallet.

━━━━━━━━━━━━

Mae wakes up with a jolt. Her heart hammers violently in her chest, and she looks around petrified.

Beads of sweat roll down her forehead, despite the cold temperature of the room.

And her breath comes out in ragged gasps.

Darkness surrounds her. The sky is black, the walls look dark, and the candles placed on the side-desk are slowly running out.

And Levi stands at the door frame, aghast.

Mae is up in her bed, back slouched, and hands clutching on to the sheets.

Her eyes are bloodshot, and her entire frame is trembling.

The sight makes him lurch forward.

It's probably a horrible nightmare that has left her in such a state.

"Mae," he calls out, but she remains distant. As if her soul is still trapped in another world.

"Mae," he gets on top of the bed. Closer to her, and closer to the details of her wreckage.

Her eyes are blown wide, tinged red. And she's biting her lip so hard, he's scared it will draw out blood.

He cups her cheeks, and tilts her head towards him. "Hey... what's wrong?" He murmurs dotingly.

And Mae's hands still tremble as she reaches them towards his shoulders. They tremble so much that Levi can feel the fear that rattles deep within her bones.

He leaves a peck on her lips, hoping it brings her back to this world. But she still remains trapped, in a part where he can't reach her.

He pecks her again, peppering her with kisses that slowly turn desperate. The tip of her nose, the center of her forehead. He kisses her everywhere

For a moment she doesn't move, a little too shaken and distraught. And slowly her hands snake around his neck and she pulls him closer. Desperate to feel the thud of his heart against her skin.

"Titans.... Death... Blood everywhere. " Her words come out as an incoherent mumble against his skin.

"It's okay, I'm here... I'm here, I'm not going to let you die." He speaks as he rubs her back.

And Levi looks so confident, as he flashes her a smile of reassurance. Not an ounce of doubt or fear on his face, as if without a second thought, without a bit of regret, he'll sacrifice himself to save her from her death.

So brave, so strong, so admirable.

"I'll protect you with everything I have, sweetheart... I'm not going to let you die that easily, on my watch... You know that, right?" His words are so sweet, like honey to her ears. To most it will be unbelievable that Humanity's Strongest can muster up a tone this soft.

And when she looks back at him, her eyes carry enough grief to drown the rest of the human population.

But it was you who died in my dream, Levi. Who's going to protect you? Who's going to look after you?

The plot of AOT has officially started!!!!! It's time to take your tissue boxes out lol.

I don't know if I have mentioned this earlier, but as Mae is a civilian, she wouldn't be playing a really big part in the AOT plot itself. She'll be more like a bystander.

Something I really wanted to highlight here is Mae's character growth. (From a character who would panic and freeze up at the sight of blood (chp2) to someone who can keep her duty above her emotions)

Let me know what you think, any comment and feedback is always appreciated.

Next chapter will be out on Saturday!
