Rags to Riches

Chapter 8- Why Me?

     Drifting through the pure white curtains. The sunlight from the sunrise lays upon the raven. The warmth flows through him awakening him. Hoping to his husband by his side. Silver eyes swirling with disappointment and loneliness. Thinking back to the previous day, he smiled sadly. Standing he made his way to the balcony. Cold air hit his pale skin making him shiver. Resting his forearms on the railing he looked upon the royal garden. Red roses could be seen through the light fog on this early Thursday morning. It was only Sunday when prince Eren chose Levi to rule beside him. 5 days since he meet all of his friends for the first time. The last time he saw the redhead Isabella.

     Looking towards the sun a salty tear escaped his eyes. A cooling breeze blowing his ebony back. Soon rivers were falling done his pale face. His hand covering his mouth so that his sobbing can't be hear, shoulders shaking. A knock sound through his room. Freezing he quickly deposses of his tears with the grey sweater sleeves. Feeling presentable he make his way to the door. Hange greeted him with a smile, it soon faded when her brown eyes saw the look of sadness on her best friend. In one quick motion the pale boy was in the tans hold. "What happened?" her words brought him to tears.

     Veins running cold Hange guided Levi to his bed. Sitting down he wrapped his arms around her slender neck, crying onto her shoulder. Shocked by his actions she freeze, but soon rubbed her up and down his back. Nothing but the silents could be heard between them.

     "Would you like to talk about it?". The brunette questioned when raven look up at her with swollen eyes. Thinking for a moment he nodded. Still in her arm he sat up start and started his story.

     "I had a great time with you guys, but my thoughts were dark. Constantly they said that Eren didn't love me, and when woke up I knew they were right." Sad smiling he thought about the moment they shared. They were the best ones he never had, but they didn't last. Through his whole life everything that brought him happiness soon vanished. Why he thought the prince of Maria would be different was unknown. Maybe it was because someone actually loved him or maybe because someone else could love him. Isabelle's loves him, but as a sister brother type of way.

     Hange was searching her mind for the right words. She been working for the Jeager family for a 5 years now. Only knowing the brunette prince for a short she knew that he's not one to hurt people's feelings. Even if he did Mikasa would talk it out with him. It's obvious that he loves Levi, but why wasn't he present was beyond her.

     "He has his reasons Levi. I don't know what else to say, but I do know that he loves you". Smiling sadly she gave one last hugged and left to leave the raven with his thoughts and her kind words.

     Hours past with Levi staring blankly at the ceiling. His tears long gone. Sitting up with he made his away to the master bathroom. Coming into the view of the mirror the raven was filled with disgust. Eyes bloodshot, dried tears stained his cheeks, his normally perfectly parted hair went in every direction. A broken smile reached his lips. Turning on the faucet splashing cold water onto his pale skin. Feeling more awake than before fit his ebony hair parting it down the middle. Returning to the bedroom the raven made his way to the walk in closet. Picking out black legging and a baggy blue sweater he went back to bed.

     Not really feeling up to reading he click the t.v. on. Searching through the channel he chose to watch Frozen. Any time a song came on the raven would sing along. He loves to sing. Memories of singing Isabelle came to mind. One particular time came to mind. It was the redhead's second week of living with Levi. He had to work a few hours over time that night and when he arrived a crying Isabella clung to his leg. Getting down to her level he pulled her into a loving hug like the one Hange had given him.

     "I-I thought you got hurt b-big bro" she cried. Heart breaking he carried her to bed. Tucking her into the white blackent the raven started to sing 'So ist es immer'. Levi's soft singing helped Isabelle to sleep. After the song finished his steely blue eyes open to see the little girl sleeping peacefully. Kissing her forehead he walked towards his own room.

     The memory had him sing it all over again. All of the memories of Isabella flashed by. When they first met, when they used to cook together, when Isabelle first started school. Then his memories with Eren flashed by. Going to the beach, first coming to the castle, their wedding day and night. His heart felt like it was being ripped in two. Two things that he loved the most were gone. Maybe he wasn't meant to be happy? All of his life he aimed to please every, guess it didn't work. More tears poured down his face. Sobs filled the room the movie long forgotten about, just like him. Shutting on the t.v. he turned and buried his face into the soft pillows.

     "Why me?".
