Here we go again with some reposts. I would just like to say that I don't mean to offend anyone or make anyone uncomfortable. If anything I want to spread awareness because suicide is a problem, whether it's from bullying, family abuse or just whatever the situation is, it shouldn't have to be an option. For those who are going through a rough time and this, you can always come chat with me. Believe it or not but I used to be in a place like that when I was in high school. I did a lot of stupid things then too, I used to cut and deal with depression (I still do to this day but not as bad as I used to). And some times talking to friends or family doesn't help, I know it didn't help me when I was going through it because no one seemed to understand. So if any of you ever have something you feel you want to get off your chest and can't go to someone you know about I'm always here. You can also talk with the Suicide Hotline people although I don't know many people who have talked to them, but it's still an option. And remember your life is precious, and if you think no one would miss you, then find better people to surround yourself with who will be there to lift you up and stick with you through your dark time and good times. 

1-800-273-8255 There is the number to the Suicide Prevention Hotline, do what you want with it.

~(Y/N)~

I woke up feeling like crap. The sun was shining in my face. I get up and hide the razor I had used last night to cut with. I go to take a shower then changed into uniform. I made sure I wore a long sleep shirt to hide the fresh cuts. I threw on my jacket and left my room. I went to the mess hall and eat breakfast, there I sat by myself as usual.

No one knew about the whole cutting thing I had been doing if anyone did they'd pity me that's for sure. I've done it for about a year or so since I lost my sister from the titans that's when I also joined the scouts hoping to help out but Levi has me stuck here cleaning. I had no family, no friends I was all alone here.

I had to be extra careful with my right hand and show no sign of discomfort. I quickly eat my food and head to the training grounds. On my way I saw Captain Levi. "Cadet (L/N) when you finish training you need to clean my office." he says.

"Yes sir." I say I salute him and go train.

I trained hard as my right arm went numb after I had practiced I noticed it started to bleed. "Shit," I say to myself. I hide my arm and run inside and quickly go to my room and change my shirt and clean the wounds.

I then make my way down to Levi's office with cleaning supplies. I knock on the door and wait. "Name and business." I hear him say.

"Cadet (L/N) you wanted your office cleaned," I say.

"Come in." he says.

I open the door and walk in then shut it again. I look to see he was sitting there doing paperwork with a cup of tea by his side. I take the duster and began dusting his shelves. My back was toward him but I felt eyes on me. I got on my tippy toes and stretched upward. I felt a cold breeze on the lower part of my back. What my shirt riding up? I stand normally and fix my shirt then dust the lower shelves. I turn and notice Levi had gotten up. He went over to refill his cup of tea.

I ignored him and went to clean his desk. I felt a sharp pain in my right arm from the cuts. I jerk my hand back then start using my left hand. I peek over seeing Levi staring at me concerned. I continue to clean but slower than usual. I go over to the other shelf and start dusting that. I got on my tippy toes while I was dusting I hit my right arm on the lower shelf causing me to hiss in pain a bit. I bit my lower lip trying to keep myself from yelping in pain. "Is everything alright (Y/N)?" Levi asks.

"Y-yes sir," I say turning and putting on a smile. I turn away and finish cleaning. I walk towards the door and exit the room quickly. That was close. I make my way to my room and go to sleep without even changing.

~Next Day~

I get up and go eat breakfast. "Good morning (Y/N)." Hanji says.

"Morning Hanji," I say.

I walk past her and make my way in the to the mess hall. I ate my breakfast alone again that day then went to training. I practiced on a dummy. From the corner of my eye I could see the Captain walking through the hall but stopped when he saw me. He then stepped outside and stood there watching me. I look at my arm to see if was bleeding. It wasn't so I kept beating up the dummy until my arm went numb like yesterday. I then saw Levi walk towards me. I look to see my arm was bleeding really badly. I hide it behind me and turn to Levi. "Cadet (L/N) walk with me to my office." he says. Shit, this means I can't go clean up. I nod and follow him to his office.

He opens his door and lets me in first. I did my best to hide the bloody sleeve. "Sit," he says closing the door behind us. I sit in the chair in front of his desk. He stood there and pulled the chair towards him and placed his hands on each side of the arm rests trapping me.

"S-sir?" I ask.

"You've been awfully jumpy lately and you keep hiding your arm or hissing in pain... why is that (Y/N)?" he asks.

"I-I don't know what you are t-talking about sir," I say nervously.

"Don't lie to me... let me see your arm," he says.

"N-no... it's personal." I say holding my arm behind me. I press my back against it making it hurt. I bit my lower lip keeping me from yelping.

"I really didn't want to have to do this the hard way," he says stepping back. He took my left arm and lifted me from the chair. I still help my arm behind my back but he was much stronger than I was and ended up pulling my arm forward seeing the bloody sleeve. I try to pull away but he pulled my sleeve up revealing the bloody wrap. He began unwrapping it but I yank my arm away.

"Why are you so scared of me looking at your arm? Did you do something?" he asks walking towards me.

"It's personal Captain something you wouldn't understand." I say.

He stood there giving me his typical stoic expression. He then grabbed my arm again and held it tight making sure I wouldn't be able to take it back. "No stop!" I say fighting to take it back.

He unwrapped it revealing the open cuts. I felt tears stream down my face I look away from his shocked gaze. His grip was softer but still strong. "How long have you been doing this to yourself?" He asks sounding concerned.

"It doesn't matter," I say.

He grabbed my face gently and made me look at him. "Answer me." He says.

I sigh. "I've been doing it for a year sir," I say.

He flicked my forehead then let out a 'tch'. "No practicing until you get this healed... you will stay here until they heal," he says.

"But sir-

"I want to make sure you stop doing this... I will stop by your room and confiscate any sharp objects so you won't have a chance... you will stay in the room next door to my office so I can monitor you." he says.

"Sir-

"Call me Levi... I believe since we will be spending more time together you get that privilege," he says.

"But.."

"No one should cut themselves... even if it is to relieve stress... You can either stay here with me or I can hand you over to Erwin... he's less understanding than I am if you're smart you will chose to stay... because unlike the others I don't gossip." he says.

"Why are you doing all of this? I'm not anything special." I say.

"Tch don't you really don't get it do you?" he asks.

"Get what?" I ask.

He opened his mouth to say something but then closed it and looked away. "Just say you will stay... I will be sure to keep your secret if you promise not to do this again," he says.

"Okay I promise," I say. What he did next was unexpected. He pulled me in and hugged me. This was a whole new side of Levi I never even knew about. He pulled away after a minute but held my shoulders.

"I'm going to tell Erwin that I will have you moved and I will have someone move your things into the room." he says.

"Okay..." I answer while nodding my head.

"Stay here," he says.

"Okay," I say. I watched as he left the room. I stood there waiting for him to return. I held my hand against my racing heart. I waited patiently for him to come back. Could there be another reason why he's doing this? He wouldn't do this with just anyone would he?

I for about an hour before he came back into the room. "Good news, Erwin agreed to let you move into the room next door and I got all the sharp objects out of your old room," he says

"Do you do this with just anyone? If not then why are you wasting time helping me?" I ask.

"I don't do this with just anyone and I'm doing it so you don't end up killing yourself... you may think no one will miss you if you die but you'd be surprised," he says turning away and walking over to his desk.

"Sir with all due respect I have no friends so there isn't anyone... I have no family no one." I say.

"You have me now," he says with his back facing me.

I look at him surprised. I was lost for words. He kept his back towards me and sighed. I turn and go into the room finding Eren and Mikasa with my things. "Hey (Y/N)." Eren says.

"Hi..." I say a bit confused. They didn't typically talk to me.

"You know (Y/N) if you want you can sit with us at meals," Mikasa says.

"Oh no it's fine... I don't want to be a bother." I say.

"Really it's no trouble," Eren says.

I nod and give them a weak smile while holding my arm behind my back. They both seemed to be concerned for me. "Is everything alright? What did you do to make Levi move you next door to him?" he asks.

"Oh umm.." I stop trying to search for the words.

"Are you guys together?" Eren asks.

"What?! No no no... nothing like that." I say. Without thinking I wave both hands exposing my cuts. They both look at my arm with a shocked expression. I then hide my hand again and look away.

"(Y/N) your arm," Mikasa says walking up and grabbing it. I am such an idiot.

"You cut?" Mikasa asks.

I nod and put my head down feeling ashamed of myself. "That's why I'm staying next to Levi he's watching over me." I say.

"Why did you do it?" Eren asks.

"I'm depressed and I had no one there for me and when ever I was extremely stressed out I did it," I tell them.

Mikasa hugs me and so does Eren. "Don't ever do it again... you could end up cutting too deep and bleeding to death." Eren says.

"I won't," I say.

"Why don't you come hang out with us tomorrow night it'll be fun, you, me, Mikasa and Armin we'll be in the mess hall with a few other people eating and hanging out," Eren says.

"Okay." I say softly. This was the first time in a long time I had people care about me. The door opened from behind me and Levi stood in the doorway.

"It's past curfew I suggest you get out before I put you on stable duty for a month," Levi says. Eren and Mikasa leave the room quickly leaving me and him alone.

Levi took my hand and led me to the bathroom without a word. He grabbed a cloth and dabbed at my cuts. "I'm sorry." I say.

"What for?" he asks.

"You have to watch a helpless girl who hurts herself... it must be a waste of time." I say keeping my head down.

"Tch it's not a waste... besides, you said you had no one... you should have someone there for you... I can be there for you if you'll do the same for me." he says.

"You want me to be there for you?" I ask.

"Yes..." he answers.

"Okay," I say.

"I just don't see how I didn't notice before.." he says.

"Well, it's because I didn't talk to anyone," I say.

"I see... maybe you should talk to more people... like Eren and Mikasa they seemed nice to you." he says.

"Yeah... so will you like to follow me around and stuff or do I just come here after practice?" I ask.

"Well, I don't think you'd be comfortable being followed and watched... but I will check-in and make sure you don't do anything," he says.

"Okay..." I say.

"You should get some sleep... if you need me I'll be in my office doing paperwork... you will stay in your room got it?" he asks.

"Okay," I say hopping off the side of the sink and walking out with Levi following behind me. I go and sit on the bed. He comes over and unravels them for me and basically tucks me in. He walks out of the room leaving me to fall asleep.

~Next Day~

I stay in Levi's office throughout the day sitting in the chair in front of his desk and watched him do paperwork. It was quite boring actually. Sometimes he'd take me out of the room and go supervise the other cadets who had been cleaning. He told them I was injured and could help so that's why I was watching. When it came time for bed I laid down on my back while Levi had been sitting on the side of my bed. He looked over and moved a piece of hair from my face. All I could think about was going to hang out with Eren and Mikasa.

"Good night (Y/N)." he whispers.

"Good night." I say laying there watching him get up and leave. Once he left through the door I got out of bed. I know he said I couldn't leave without him knowing and he's going to check but I wanted to go to dinner. I changed into a different long sleeve shirt and open the door quietly. I walk down the hall past Levi's door and down to the mess hall. I open the doors and walk in finding Eren, Mikasa, and Armin all sitting waiting for me. They waved when they saw me. I wave back and go to sit with them.

"Hey (Y/N)." Eren says as I sit next to him.

"Hello." I answer.

As we sat and talked I couldn't help but notice others that were at the table stared and laughed. Some whispering.

"Great look who they brought to the table." I overheard at the other end. I looked to see it was Jean the others around him started giggling at looking except for Armin, Eren and Mikasa they shrugged it off.

"I hear she cuts herself, what an attention-whore." I heard a girl whisper. I look down at the table trying to ignore it.

"Will you guys shut the hell up?!" Mikasa snaps.

The room went silent and Mikasa sat there. She went back to eating and the conversations started up again and so did the crap talking. I sat there with my head down until I felt a hand on my back. "You can go if you don't want to be here anymore," Eren whispers.

"N-no it's fine," I say. Inside I was dying I could see people looking then laughing to their friends or calling me names. It felt like it was going on for hours. Do they know? Who would have told them? Did Eren and Mikasa say something?

I sat there for a while longer until it got worse. Jean came over and wrapped his arm around me. "Can I look at your arms?" he asks he was clearly drunk. Tears began building up in my eyes.

Eren pushed his hand against his face causing Jean to fall to the floor. "Leave her alone." Eren snaps.

"Just trying to make a new friend," Jean says getting up and coming back to me. That was when the doors flew open and a very angry Levi came storming in.

"All of you are past curfew and will be on stable work for the next three weeks, get to your rooms or I'll triple it." Levi snaps. Everyone got up and left the room quickly. I sat there terrified what Levi will do. When the room was silent I got up. I walk up to him with my head down. He sighed and took my hand and led me to his office. We didn't say a word to each other then. When he opened the door he pulled me forward forcefully making me go in first.

He slammed the door behind him making me jump a little. "I told you to stay in your room." he snaps.

I say nothing and take his scolding. He stood there in front of me while I kept my head down. Tears had been streaming down my face since Jean came up to me. I sniffled a bit making Levi sigh. "What happened? Did they do something?" he asks.

I wipe the tears. "It doesn't matter... just punish me already so I can go to bed," I say. I look up revealing my teary eyes.

"So they did do something... tell me their names and I'll go kick their asses," he says. He placed his hand on my shoulder but I smacked it away.

"Just leave me alone," I say walking away into the other room. I slam the door to my new room and sit on my bed. The door open and Levi stood there in the doorway.

"I will not tolerate others hurting you (Y/N)." he says.

"Why do you care?!" I yell. He was getting on my nerves trying to help me.

He stood there with a flushed face and his mouth open ready to tell me but nothing was coming out.

"Tell me," I say.

"Tomorrow I'm going to breakfast I will sit at a table with Hanji and watch what happens... when I find out who has been hurting you they will be punished," he says.

"That doesn't answer my question."

"For my own personal reason! Now go to sleep, when I come back into this room I better see you still in this bed." he says giving me a cold look. I sigh in frustration and lay on my bed. Levi closed the door loudly leaving me by myself. I was stressed out and need some relief I searched the bathroom for a sharp. I needed to cut. I just ended up punching the window over the toilet and taking the shard out. I slit new cuts on my wrist and it started bleeding. I was like that for about a few minutes until I decided it was enough. There was blood on my shirt and on the sink. I heard the bathroom door knob trying to be opened.

"(Y/N) is everything okay in there?" I hear Levi asks. I lost track of time. I had been out of my bed for an hour when I looked at the clock. Dammit.

"Y-yeah just fine," I say.

"Okay then can you unlock the door." he says.

"H-hang on," I called nervously. Now regretting my decision I frantically look for a way to clean up the blood. I clean the sink with toilet paper and flush it down. I rewrap the cuts and open the door not realizing I left the shard of glass on the sink and the blood on my shirt.

"What were you doing in here? It's been an hour?" he asks.

"Uh.. nothing I- had to fix my hair," I say. I mentally face palm myself for my stupidity. He's not going to believe I spent an hour on my hair at this hour. He then looked at my shirt and noticed the blood on it.

"There is blood on your shirt... this wasn't from earlier was it?" he asks.

"Y-yes it is... I forgot to change." I say with a shaky voice.

Then he looked past me to see the shard of glass his eyes widened and he pushed me gently aside. I stood there scared of what he was going to do, I had already pissed him off enough today. He looked back at me holding the bloody shard. "You did it again?" he asks.

I hid my arm behind me back and step back. He came walking towards me after dropping the glass. I fell on to my bed and he took my right hand and pulled me up while his other hand snaked around my waist. "What do I have to do to get you to stop?" he asks.

I didn't answer scared he might start yelling. "Do I really need to block your windows too?" he asks.

"I-I'm sorry," I say.

"Sorry just won't work this time." he says.

"W-what are you going to do?" I ask nervously.

"We will have to have some rules then, and if you break any of these rules I will hand you over to Erwin with no mercy," he says.

I gulped nervously. He dropped me on the bed and stood there in front of me. "First... you will be with me at all times, if you are not in your room then you are with me.. But since you can't seem to behave alone in your room I'm gonna have to watch you until you fall asleep and make sure you are bathed." he says.

"But what about my privacy?" I ask.

"Do you really expect me to trust that you won't cut again after you just did it?" he asks.

He had a point but I still didn't want him seeing parts of my body like that. "Second rule you tell me where you go and I will be there to follow."

"Even if I have to use the bathroom?" I ask.

"I will check you for any sharp objects before going in and if you take more than ten minutes I will send Hanji in," he says.

"O-okay," I answer.

"And third you will talk to me about this so I can do whatever I can to help you stop that includes showing me your wrist to make sure there are no new cuts.... Because whether you like it or not you will stop." he says getting closer to my face.

"Okay." I say sitting up and putting my head down.

"Now show me your filthy arm... I need to clean it off," he says extending his hand out. I place my arm in his hand and he unwraps it. He lifts me up and lead me to the bathroom. He grabs a cloth and soaked it under the water then dabbed my wrist. He takes a different cloth and pats it dry and starts wrapping it again.

"You know if you keep doing this you'll end up cutting too deep and bleed to death," he mentions.

"I-I know," I say.

"If you know then why do it?" he asks.

I don't answer trying to prevent another scolding. I look down and take my arm back.

"Answer my question (Y/N)," he says

"I-I don't know," I say hopping off the sink and headed to my room.

"You don't know? That's a poor excuse," he says following.

"Why are you really doing this? I'm not some charity case, I didn't ask for your help." I say turning to him.

He stood there waiting for what I had to say next. "I don't care if you didn't ask, no one should be doing this to themselves.... You act like you have no one... yet I'm standing here taking care of you... I'm not doing it for charity... you are a lot like me, reserved and alone." he says.

"I'm going to bed," I say feeling defeated.

"Oh no you don't get to do that, you don't get to end this conversation like that," he says walking up to me.

"Well I am, I am tired and want to sleep." I say sitting on the bed.

"You're tired? I'm tired too I haven't slept in two days because I've been watching over you and doing paperwork," he says.

I get up from the bed and go up to him. "I get you have work to do and you are tired but I don't want to talk about this right now... I just want to be alone so I can sleep."

"You're always alone... and eventually you'll be content with it," he says.

"Good night Levi," I say turning my back to him.

He sighed in frustration and left the room. I stood there staring at the door. He's right eventually I'm going to be fine with being alone. I stood there for a while longer than changed into a nightgown that was fairly loose on me. I open the door finding Levi working on paperwork. I noticed his shirt was unbuttoned and his hair was wet. I sigh. I felt my heart beat faster. "What now?" he asks.

"What do you want to know?" I ask. I walk up to the side of his desk. He sat there staring at me then turned away and nodded. He seemed like he was searching for the right question to start with.

"Why did you do it?" he asks.

"Cut tonight or just overall?" I ask.

"Both," he says.

"Well... I started doing it because I lost the one person who cared about me. My sister. She was my best friend, if I had news she would be the first person I'd tell, she knew all my secrets, crushes..." I say smiling a bit from the memories.

"What happened to her?" he asks.

"The titans happened... so I joined the scouts... and I started cutting anytime I was stressed that's what I did because nothing seemed to work, I was bullied through my trainee years and I didn't care because I just didn't listen, or at least I tried not to... but tonight Jean asked me if he could look at my arm... so I think Eren and Mikasa said something because they saw my arm." I say.

"So Jean is one of them?" he asks.

"Yes, that is why I did it tonight too... because everyone in that room was staring and whispering... so most of them know what's wrong with me." I say.

"Alright... well I'll figure something out and get it to stop," he says.

I sigh in relief. "Is that it?" I ask.

He nods and as I was turning he snapped his fingers. "Yes?" I ask.

"Can you just stay for a while longer... it's too quiet in here," he says keeping his eyes forward.

"Sure," I say turning to him again. He held his hand out to me inviting me to come to sit. Hesitant I stood there contemplating if I should take it or not.

"You can help me with paperwork," he says.

"But does it really require me sitting on your lap?" I ask.

"Just shut up and sit with me." he says. His face was flushed and his hand shook a little. I took it and he pulled me in closer. I sat there on his lap. He leaned forward letting his damp back rub up against my slightly exposed back sending chills down my spine. I sat there with his arm wrapped around my waist and the other writing down stuff. It was actually kind of nice sitting here with him like this.

"Levi," I say leaning back resting my back on his chest and my head on his shoulder.

"Hmm?" he says.

"Have you ever been in love?" I ask. I was curious he was learning so much about me so I should be able to learn some things about him.

He sat there with a flushed face that grew a darker shade of red. "I know it's a dumb question, forget I asked." I say sitting up only for him to pull me back down to him.

"I have... but it was a long time ago," he says.

"Oh." I say looking up at him. He focused on his work instead of looking at me.

"What about you?" he asks.

"No... I haven't... at least not until.." I stop realizing something. I look up to Levi who continued to stare at his work. I'm falling for Levi.

I get up off of him. "I better get to bed... but uh- Thanks." I say.

He sat there confused. "Good night... I'll be in to check on you in a few," he says.

"Good night... Levi." I say softly then exiting the room. I close the door behind me and lean against it. I'm falling for Levi, that's why my heart races but he would never look at a girl like me... I walk over to my bed and lay down where I fell asleep.

~Next Morning~

I wake up feeling a pair of lips on my forehead. My eyes flutter open to see Levi backing away. Did he just kiss my forehead? "Morning," I say sitting up and rubbing my eyes. I was under my blankets. Levi must have properly put me to bed.

"Morning." He says sitting back in the chair.

"So what are we doing today?" I ask.

"I'm going to go talk to the group that has been gossiping about you and give them a good talking too... and you will stay here, you can clean, read a book, do some paperwork but you will not leave this room or my office until I return because when I do I'm taking you out for a little bit," he says.

"Okay." I answer.

"Good, I should be back in a bit, Hanji will be next door if you need anything."

"I am a little hungry." I say holding my stomach.

"I'll make sure to let her know on my way out." he says.

I nod and watch him walk out of my room. He was doing so much for me I don't know how I was ever going to repay him. I sat there in bed for a little bit thinking about going back to sleep when the door flies open and Hanji walks in with a tray of food. "Hello my dear! Levi said you were hungry so I brought you a bunch of yummy food!" she screams happily as she places the tray on my bed. She goes to close the door and walks back over then sits on my bed.

"Thanks." I say I begin eating as she watches me.

"You know Levi must really like you." she says.

I take a sip of orange juice and look at her. "Why do you say that?" I ask.

"Are you blind! He doesn't do this to just anyone! He's going to punish people for hurting you AND he's letting you stay in his room and he never lets cadets in his room unless he is really sick which is rare..." she says.

"So? He's just being nice and making sure my wounds heal properly." I say.

"But did he really need to put you in his room, in his bed for you to heal?" she asks.

Now that she mentioned it he didn't really need to but then again he wanted to keep an eye on me but I could have slept on his sofa for all he cares. I didn't have anything to argue with.

"See I'm right, Levi has got the hots for you missy." she says poking my cheek.

"He is just helping me, I doubt he even sees me that way for all I know I'm probably just some charity case." I say.

"Whatever you say believe what you want but I will still think Levi likes you." she says getting up off my bed.

"Even if he did it's not like it would really work, we have bigger problems to deal with and a relationship isn't something he should deal with, I don't want to be a priority to him... I don't want him to be unfocused when he's out in the field, he could end up getting hurt." I say.

"If you guys were to date I'm sure Levi will but in the effort most wouldn't." she says.

"But-"

"I'm leaving it there (Y/N) all you can do is wait and see," she says.

"Okay." I say.

Hanji left the room leaving me to eat my breakfast. Could Levi like me? But I have a limited time with him... what if it all changes once my cuts heal? I waited for what seemed like hours but Levi came walking through the door. I was dressed and somewhat ready. "We should get going," he says.

He went back over to the door but I stood there. "I don't know if we should." I say. He had his hand on the handle but turned to me.

"Why not?" he asks.

"I want to go it's just... what will we do? Hang out? Talk like we're friends... but what happens when my cuts heal and I have to go back to my old room... will we even talk like we do now?" I ask.

"Of course." he says.

"Somehow I don't think that's entirely true... the way I see it once I'm out of here you will not longer look at me the way you do now... or speak to me... I'm just going to go back to being the girl no one talks to... The one who doesn't go on a mission because I'd be the first killed, granted I am skilled I've never been outside the wall so I wouldn't know what to expect but that's not the point... the point is that once I leave I'm going to lose you." I say.

He walks over and looks at me. I was scared at the thought that I was going to be alone again. It had only been a few days and I was already falling head over heels for him.

"You don't need to worry about that. I'm not leaving." he says pulling me into his arms.

"You say that but I don't know if I believe you." I say. He pulls me back and slightly bends down to my level. He leans in slowly. Impatient I pull on his shirt and press my lips against his. Surprised by my actions he smiled in the kiss then wrapped his arms around me. I wrap my arms around his neck to pull him closer. After a minute we pull away but still held on to each other.

"Believe me now?" he asks.

I nod. My heart was racing and my face was hot. "Hanji was right..." I say.

"Right about what?" he asks.

"You having feelings for me." I say.

"You had to be told I liked you? I thought it was obvious." he says letting me go. I instantly missed his arms.

"I noticed but didn't want to believe it... I thought you'd never lay eyes on a girl like me." I say.

He pinched my cheek. "Tch stupid..." he says before kissing my cheek.

"Why didn't you say anything?" I ask.

He rubbed the back of his head while my arms wrapped around his waist. "I didn't know how to tell you... I tried but every time I opened my mouth nothing would come out," he says.

I remember all the times he was about to say something but then change the subject. I look up at him seeing his face flushed. "It's okay." I say hugging him.

He sighs and lays his head on mine and hugs me back. "I love you (Y/N)." he says.

Here I am standing in front of the one person who stood by me for the past three days trying to tell me he loved me. "I love you too." I answer. With that, I look up and was greeted with a sincere kiss.
