Chapter 9
(F/N) was looking outside the car, and everyone inside could see her face beaming in excitement. They were heading back to Tokyo early in the morning, and (F/N) was with Xyril, Mikasa and Eren on Levi's car. She was sitting behind the passenger seat, and beside her was Xyril and Mikasa was on the other side. Eren was sitting on the passenger seat. Levi decided to drive since he wanted to make sure (F/N)'s safety. The rest of Team Levi was on Hange's car that was following behind them, and in Erwin's car, driving in front of them, were Mike, and the family of Hannes.
After two hours, in which (F/N) didn't sleep one blink, they arrived in Tokyo. Her interest rose up and all of her reactions could be seen by Levi through the rear mirror.
Another hour had passed, (F/N)'s eyes widened when they entered in a huge gate, and inside a wide compound, she could see four two-storey houses inside.
Levi headed towards the farthest house on the right and he pushed the button above him that opened its garage.
"We're here" Levi said that made his son who was sleeping on (F/N)'s lap, woke up.
(F/N) got out of the car and roamed her eyes around to see a vastful garden in front of the two houses on the right, and a swimming pool in front of the two houses on the left.
Eren stretched his hands as he got out of the car and saw the flabbergasted expression from (F/N)
"(F/N)-san, this compound was built by Levi-san and the others. The system was installed by you" Eren explained then pointed at the house behind him "This house is yours and Levi-san's. The house next to yours is for Levi Team with Hange-san. The third one is Erwin-san's, and he let Hannes-san and his family to stay there. The last one, well, you could say headquarter"
"What is your work, really? Levi isn't saying anything. I mean, this is not normal for Engineers and architects" (F/N) questioned Eren but he smiled at her as he got their things at the trunk of the car
"(F/N), let's go" Levi called her and she followed him and Xyril. She was so innocent to what was going on, specially when Levi opened the door.
Levi input the password then let his right hand scanned on the door security panel. She jolted when there were two beepings followed by a voice system confirming Levi Ackerman.
Levi got their things and once the door automatically opened, he entered and the system announced his name. Xyril followed and the system also announced his name. (F/N) felt nervous and scared that what if the system didn't announce her name.
As she walked in the door, she jolted in surprise when the system announced it, "(F/N) Ackerman)"
"You were the one who installed that full body security after the alarm went off" Levi remarked as he smirked "How long are you going to deny that you are not my wife, (F/N)"
"I'm not denying it, just... I felt so nervous all of a sudden" She answered as she took off her shoes. Xyril opened a closet on her left and she could see two pieces of brown leather jacket hanged, for Levi and Xyril. There were also couple of men's shoes for Levi and Xyril on the shoe rack inside the closet
"Eren Yeager" The system announced as Eren went inside holding more of their things
"Levi-san, where should I put these?"
"Just put them on the living room. Xyril, clean up your toys" Levi's voice answered, making (F/N) speechless to what was going on. She was overwhelmed to their actions.
She slowly entered the entrance hallway, and as she opened the glass door, the maroon window curtain that covered the whole wall in front of her slowly opened, revealing the huge carpeted living room, with black L leather shaped sofa. She could see a wide backyard on the other side of the wall size window. Eren was helping Xyril cleaning his train set that was on the center table. She looked at her left and there was a marble round table across the living room. She walked a little bit more and saw a door leading to the kitchen, and she gaped in awe to see a window counter as she could see the kitchen inside. There was another door near the dining table, and she thought that it might be the bathroom.
She moved closer to the sofa and noticed the huge picture frame across the window. It was her and Levi on their wedding dress. Below the picture was couple of (F/N)'s picture with Levi, and on its left was another door. (F/N) noticed the divider below the installed 80 inch television on the wall across the sofa. She squinted her eyes and smiled when she saw Xyril pictures. Most of the pictures were just him alone, and there were some with (F/N) and Levi, but he was still baby.
"What are you doing, (F/N)?" Levi asked as he got out of the door beside the picture frame.
"Elevator?!" She shouted as the door behind Levi closed "Elevator? Why Elevator?"
"Its because you said that you wanted your child not to get hurt going down the stairs, (F/N)-san. So you asked Levi-san to make elevator instead" Eren explained "Compare to the other houses, your house is more advance."
(F/N) frowned from what she heard but sighed in defeat
"Let's go upstair, I'll show you our room"
"Our?!" She asked Levi as her sweat ran over her "Our... room?" She again asked but Levi narrowed his eyes toward her "I understand. I'll go, I'll go"
Levi pushed the button and the two of them entered the elevator. As they arrived on the second floor, (F/N) was surprised seeing an entertaiment space when the elevator opened. She could see more of Xyril's toys scattered on again carpeted floor. And again across the elevator was a maroon curtain covering the entire area.
"This way" Levi said as he headed to their right, and there was one door at the end of the hallway. Levi pushed a button on the wall making the hallway light up and there were lots of (F/N)'s pictures. She followed Levi behind and she saw him pushing another button on the doorknob, making the door unlock.
"This house is way too advance" She mumbled. Once the door opened, there she could see a 70 inch TV installed on the wall, and again a maroon curtain covering the entire wall. On her left, across the TV was the king size bed and on each side was a side table with lamp shade. Beside the lamp shade on the right was a working table, on which she could see two laptops, picture frames, and papers on it. As she walk more inside, she saw another room across the curtain covered wall. It was a room for clothes, shoes, accessories, and there was a door leading go the their personal bathroom. She put down her only one bag beside the bed, and roamed her eyes around. Levi got a remote and as he pushed the button, the curtain wall opened, revealing the glass window, and a door leading to the veranda. Levi again pushed another button, and the door of the walk-in closet closed.
"Wow!" She gaped "Very advance."
"You decided for it" Levi answered and again opened the walk-in closet and put her bag inside "Want to take a bath first before eating?"
She nodded and Levi showed her things that took almost all the space in the walk-in closet "You didn't throw them away?"
"Why would I?" Levi asked her back "These are my wife's things. Well then, if you need more or if you have questions, just push this green button on this remote. I'll put this on the bed"
As Levi left the room, (F/N) roamed around and she couldn't believe her eyes. For three years, she lived inside the forest, wearing three or four clothes over and over. Sleeping on a hard bed, and she could only watch TV during work. She was overwhelmed knowing that she would live entirely different now.
She got her change and entered the bathroom. She was so ignorant that for thirty minutes, she learned how to use the bathroom.
~
Two hours had passed and (F/N) finally got out of the bathroom. She shrieked when she saw Levi lying on their bed, and his eyes looking at her
"Did you enjoy taking a bath?"
(F/N) nodded as she was embarrassed being seen by Levi. Levi sat down and looked at her from head to toe, as if he was analyzing her
"Why are you looking at me like that?" She pouted her lips. She was surprised when Levi asked her to come closer to him in which she instincly followed.
"Let's dry your hair then let's go down and eat." Levi took off the wet towel on her hair and nuzzled her hair to dry it. "Did you have a trouble time learning how to use the bathroom?"
"Yeah, but the water was so warm that's why I took my time" She responded feeling ticklish from what Levi was doing
"Actually it was good that you took time. Someone just went here, and its better if you don't see her until the right time"
"Who is it?"
"You want to know?" She nodded then turned to Levi "Your bestfriend, the person my uncle told me to marry, and also the responsible why you got into accident" Levi answered with serious tone
"You have a fiancé?"
"I have a wife" He immediately retorted then pulled her in tight embrace "Its really a good thing that I found you. Don't worry, I will protect you this time, and I will make sure that those people will pay for what they did to you"
"Levi, thank you" (F/N) hugged her back and chuckled "Thank you. I've been receiving lots"
'I haven't told you Levi, but ever since you saved me, I've been seeing you on my dream. I don't know if those are just hallucination or my memories, but soon I hope I will find my answer' (F/N) thought and a smile escaped from her
"I will give you more, don't worry" Levi tighten his hug and it was then there was a knock on the door.
"Papa, Mama?"
Levi opened the door and saw Xyril grinning at him "What is it, brat?"
"Mama!" Xyril ran inside the room and immediately jumped towards (F/N) "Let's eat, mama!"
"Okay, I will just comb my hair then let's go down and eat" (F/N) lifted Xyril and put him on the bed then combed her hair. But then she noticed Xyril's head looking left and right "What's wrong Xyril?"
"Its my first time here in Papa and Mama's room" Xyril answered that made (F/N) turned to Levi suspiciously "Papa never let me enter this room." Xyril continued
"Ah, that reminds me of what you said that day." (F/N) narrowed her eyes towards Levi then she shifted to Xyril and smiled "Then Xyril, let's leave papa here and let's go eat by ourselves"
Levi clicked his tongue as Xyril and (F/N) left. However, he smiled to himself and let a loud sigh "How long am I going to hold back myself?"
~skip time~
Its been a month since they returned to Tokyo. (F/N) just stayed inside the compound. She wanted to go out, but she herself held back for asking it.
"Welcome home, Levi" (F/N) greeted him as she was wearing an apron, "How's work?"
"Tiring" he said as (F/N) got his case. Levi loose his tie and sat down on the sofa "Where is the brat?"
"He is sleeping upstair" She answered "do you want something to eat or drink?"
"Black tea"
(F/N) made a black tea for him and she continued cooking. She became accustomed to the household chores while learning computers and other stuffs during her free time, and sometimes playing with Xyril. She also watched the videos she took before on her laptop, without Levi knowing about it. Hange told her about it and while cleaning their room, she found the usb Hange mentioned. Though she remembered the site Erwin gave to her. The only difference was the folder with password on it.
"By the way (F/N)"
"Hmmm?"
"Someone will come today and get Xyril. Then in three days, we are planning to bring you to our company" (F/N) approached Levi and curiously looked at him "Its your brother. But he still doesn't know that you are here. For the company, well, it will be our last resort. I hope you can at least remember something"
(F/N) sat down next to Levi and smiled as she held his hand "Actually, I haven't told you, but every night, I've been dreaming lots of things. I don't know if they are hallucination. Like there was a dream where I lived in an apartment, and you were also there. There were titans and Hange-san was so happy. There was a wedding, then there was also something in a hotel, and there were bombs-" As she was about to continue, Levi pulled her into a tight embrace "L-Levi"
"They are your memories" (F/N) could feel his breath on her neck "They are you memories. Not hallucination, but your memories"
"I-is that true? Levi, am I able to remember everything"
"Yeah, you will eventually" Levi responded and was about to kiss her when the doorbell rang. He clicked his tongue and told her to wake Xyril up. Levi was holding himself back. He hadn't kissed, nor made a move towards (F/N). He was being a considerate gentleman.
He opened the door and a man wearing a suit, with short lengthed hair stood, smiling towards Levi
"Its been months, Levi. How are you?"
"Incredibly exhausted. How about you, Jude?" Levi let him in then crossed his arms. Jude stood at the middle of the living room then approached the pictures of (F/N)
"Same. And still I can't believe that its already three years."
"Ah, I'll say it now, don't be surprised and keep this to yourself for the time being"
Jude was confused to what Levi said then shifted his eyes towards the elevator. His eyes widened seeing (F/N) walking out of the elevator.
"Where is Xyril?" Levi asked
"Getting his stuffs. I'm going to get a paper bag. He said he wanted to bring some books with him. Where is he going by the way?" (F/N) responded as she went to the kitchen and got paper bag
"He will stay in your parent's house for a week" Levi answered. As (F/N) left the kitchen, she noticed Jude with eyes wide open and his things on the ground "He is your brother"
"Ah, the man on the wedding in my dream!" She gasped "My... brother?"
"Yeah, your biological brother. Jude, its (F/N), the real one"
"Levi! What is the meaning of this?!" Jude agitatedly shouted "M..my sister... Its my sister!" Jude ran towards her and gave her a tight embrace and he cried non-stop "I-I don't know what's going on, but she is the real one, right?"
(F/N) looked at Levi and he nodded at her. Once he nodded, (F/N) hugged her brother back. She felt the warmth, and she didn't notice that tears started to roll down her cheeks. Levi went to see Xyril and left the two to talk.
~
"I'm still at lost to what's going on. But seeing my little sister, again... I'm still..."
"Don't cry" (F/N) chuckled. She was still being hugged by her brother
"Jude, I appreciate if you keep this a secret. Also, I will leave Xyril in your care for a week. And if things got bad, I will call you and you will keep Xyril for the meantime"
"What do you mean? Is it about the Underground Mafia?" He nodded and then looked at (F/N) "Then I should bring my sister with me"
"I also wanted that, but Erwin said to keep an eye on her since she holds the key" Levi answered then explained to Jude what happened to (F/N). But he first asked (F/N) to help Xyril.
Jude was furious at first, but then calmed down. He left with Xyril and promised to look after Xyril for the meantime. He also promised not to tell anyone about (F/N), but told Levi that if everything is done, he wanted her to see their parents.
~
(F/N) sat down on their bed as she was watching her past videos. Levi told her to go to their room and sleep first while he was having a meeting downstair, with Erwin, Hange, Mike, and his team.
But Levi didn't know that she was watching them time to time. That night, (F/N) finally finished watching everything that was on the first folder. She tried to open the folder with password but she failed since she couldn't remember the password. In curiosity, she stood up and roamed around Levi's desk, and there she found a note on one of the drawer, and the password was scribbled on it.
She input the password, and smiled to herself once it opened. She didn't know that the password required her fingerprints, but she felt happy for what she did. However, she felt embarrassed when she played one of the videos.
"Its me and Levi..."
