The light at the heart of his world has been extinguished. And from the scars it left him, it was devastating to think that he would have to wait another lifetime to see her again.




Levi took a moment to appreciate the scene before him. Church bells were ringing. Little girls in pink tutu dresses held baskets filled with rose petals. The piano produced a background music to this blessed morning. It wasn't everyday that you'd to witness two lovers tie the knot. Especially when it was your best friends who were getting married.


"How do I look?" Farlan was tense. This was supposed to be the best day of life, yet he couldn't help but feel nervous.


"Tch, cut the crap. You'll be fine." The raven-haired man had always been blunt, but Farlan had long been used to his straightforwardness.


Adjusting the boutonniere on his suit, the taller of the men huffed a little chuckle out. This was a huge milestone, of course he would get the jitters.


"If you're afraid of messing up the vows, just speak from the heart. That's what Isabel would have wanted," Levi sighed, he was fully self-aware of how bad he'd always been with words of comfort.


Glancing to the wooden clock, the wedding procession should be starting soon. The entourage were to walk down the aisle in pairs. Being the Best Man, Levi was paired with the Maid of Honor.


He didn't know who the woman was, not that he particularly cared to know the person he'd be walking across with for 30 seconds. But as far as he knew, Isabel had no remaining family left, so she entrusted the position to her high school friend.


As the hired wedding organizer held his clipboard, he called out, "Maid of Honor and Best Man, please proceed here, you're the next ones to walk."


The short man was about to grumpily scold the wedding organizer to lower his voice, however he halted for a moment. His steel-grey eyes were met with an approaching pair of (e/c) ones. Levi could feel his cheeks glow with warmth. Was this love at first sight?


He never believed in such an idea, let alone even think it would happen to him. But there he was, his heart thumping heavily on his chest upon the sight of a young woman.


His turn to walk down the aisle with the mystery girl came. He knew it was his bestfriends' special day, yet he couldn't help but be selfish. He felt like he was the one getting married—his arms were entangled with hers, taking slows steps on the red carpet, where a trail of fresh roses rested. Many people struggle to find their love at first sight, but for Levi? It was like marriage at first sight.


After the ceremony, the raven-haired man nervously approached her. "I'm sure I haven't properly introduced myself yet. Levi Ackerman."


"Oh, hello. What a pleasure to meet you. It's (Y/N) (L/N)."
