It has been two months. Everyone by now knew about what happened. And all the office seemed to be so grey, and so dull, it was hard to imagine how this same place before it happened was so lively and with such a great work-mood. Nobody ever wandered why it was like this... The excited and young writers influence.

But since you were gone, it all has changed. Now it was difficult to even try to conversate with one writer; a kind of separation has been made between the "economic" part, the ones who took care of sales , and the ones who did the magic and wrote their ideas down, the creative group of the industry, the group you belonged to since you graduated from university.

But the place was silent. Levi and the sales group were talking about the delay of your last book, which was supposed to be at the public market a moth ago. But it was unfinished, and nobody dared to touch it or continued it; it was the last part of the chapter of his most liked character through the public opinion.

It was commented numerous times to delay it some months more to give time to the writer to reappared. And to his editor, which was supposed to face the sales department and explain the abscence of his writer in charge.

But Erwin Smith seemed to have also dissapeared from Earth. Levi had an internal conflict since his abscence was noticeable... He didn't justified his sudden go from work when the evening it happened his mobile rang. That was the last time they all saw him.

Levi was in the board of the sales room when the door suddenly opened -- After all, he was the Titan Dynamics Enterprise CEO. And the main investor in the book which was casually his wife's book.

" She is here. She has the writing - they are here ".

There was silence, then conmotion. Could you be... Really here? Yeah, it may happen. Yeah it... It is. You are.

Levi ran out of the room. Was he prepared to confront his wife? Tramits of the divorce were never spoken; Levi feared every night that he would receive a call from an unknown lawyer telling him they would have to reunite to talk about the separation of goods or things of the kind... But it never happened.

Was he now prepared to see what you've become?

The first thing he sees is him, of course. Erwin is so tall is difficult to ignore, but his gaze is so different. Not the normal workaholic one which makes him so centrated on his writer in charge -- but a loving one. Adoration. He looks down to the most beautiful woman in the hall.

She is short, not in excess, but anyone would be seen smaller comparing their size to Mr. Smith. She has a cashmere jumper, extremely big; seems to be one of those gifts that Erwin receives every Christmas from his rich and wealthy family. It looks extremely cute on her, and sexy at the same time because she has under it a visible tank top which makes her seem like a youngster again. Not like she is old, but... Her eyes are very tired. Like she has live hell on Earth.

Levi has those same eyes.

She is talking very quickly, explaining a lot of things to the three secretaries in charge. Erwin puts her big hands on her small shoulders and seems to take the lead. Everyone gathers around the prodigal daughter. It's like she has revived from the Death.
Writers, workers receive her with open arms because she is the structure of the enterprise. More than that... She is the smile of the industry, with his adorable husband... But maybe not anymore.

Say something, I'm giving up on you.

My Dear [F/n]:
Today is a lovely day, again. It's one of your favorite days, you know, cloudy weather, cool temperatures and in conclusion a cuddle day. Again, I don't know where to send this letters, because I don't know where the hell you are now.
I hope you are okay.

And I will swallow my pride.
You are the one that I need,
and I'm saying goodbye.

I must be honest with you once more: Please come back.
I... Am so lonely.  I go to work -- and I haven't drink at all, I promise (I know how much you hate when people drown their sorrows in alcohol) . I have close/stopped/ cut any relationship with her. I can also promise you also that it's all over. I know it would be difficult-- it's impossible to forget about this, about what happened: Because it hurted you. I know, it has hurted you more than anything I have ever done, even our first time, I'm so embarrassed to remember it but let me.

Let me talk to you once more, see you once more and to make you understand all what happened and what were my reasons, because all of my acts have always had one. I'm not trying to justify myself, I would never dare to do so with you, but maybe and just maybe if I confess why I was so immature, childish, and stupid, you may forgive me. You may come back, because oh, my dear writer, you are so perfect. Your words make always so much sense, they tell so much truth, they are so full of emotions, those which sometimes you are not capable of saying. And you have gone so far without my help, you've always insisted on me being your muse, your inspiration source;  saying that a person like me would be always a good one -- a good one who has suffered bad things, but never has been a bad one.

This is the first time you are wrong, (F/n).

I'm sorry I have failed you on such a big way. 
I promise that when I said yes in our wedding,  I could have never thought on being so attached to you. On being so dependable on your voice, eyes, body, soul. I miss you so much I don't know even where to start. Just come back and I can tell you, promise you, confirm you, that my love has only grown for you every day it has pass since you left. Gosh, this is so cheesy and so topic from all those pink-literature books. Forgive me for being a cheesy one in the end, I guess.

And, once more even I know you are tired of listening to it, I'm sorry I did that. I will never forgive myself, even if you do, which would be something that would ease my soul a bit because you are such a good person you'll feel guilty after reading this -- I will never forgive me myself for hurting you, the person I love the most and the one to whom once I vowed loyalty and respect. I'm sorry I have broke this, from our happy marriage and made your life a hell. 

If I had to see your crying face once more because of me, I would rather die than knowing I made you cry and unhappy again.
Believe me when I say that I'm still here. Waiting for you, I will never move nor change because I have learned the lesson, now I know, too late maybe, that what I've done has been horrible and has sent to hell our lives. I'm so sorry to have made you so miserable and insecure, because nobody, especially you, should ever suffer this from such a horrible person as me.

Love, or the remains of it, 
Levi.

And I... I'm feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all


Her eyes.

Levi is desperate to make eye contact with her writer. 
It's like there is an invisible barrier between them... One that Erwin Smith has created.

Because when Levi finally tries to break that barrier, where your eyes are at the point of finally meeting each other... He appears and kisses her head. Her hair.
And Levi feels like falling to the ground when she smiles and looks up.

The hopeless by every second the scene develops CEO, Mr. Rivaille, decides to retreat to the corner of the great hall, a better place in which he can see the scene.

People seem to disperse themselves leaving the center of the room in silence. Even the three secretaries from before had leaved the hall because of all the errands they are going to do because of the turn of events of the new book.

— Do you regret it? - Erwin silently asks finally breaking the silence between her (F/n) and him. Levi gulps.

— Not at all... I know everyone is expecting something else, the happy ending of the pair of engaged teenagers who ended so well in my first book... But this will be refreshing. To advice people what they should do... And what they shouldn't. — Her voice hasn't any anger in it, not sorrow, not sadness. He even sounds like she is smiling. 

— Has he... Approached you?

Silence. Suddenly the air so tense Levi closes his knuckles in a try for relaxing his composture.

— No he hasn't. I didn't expect it from the beggining. It's all right Erwin, don't give me that face.
Levi tries to see a bit more from where he is. He turns his face a bit closer to the light, to where they are in the center.

— I know we talked about it. I know you rejected me but still - Wait, he proposed to her? Just after they have fight?! What kind of friend is Erwin?! — ... Give it a thought, I'm only asking you that.

— Er, I know. But... You can't just get into my life like that. I appreciated your feelings, and I think my answer was clear: I can't love anyone but Levi.

And anywhere I would've followed you 
Say something, I'm giving up on you

Time stops for Levi. Sound gets muted. And he can't control his actions until he is running to her.

— Thanks, thank you, I-I really thought you were going. I thought it was all over, I can't thank the Universe, world enough for having created a creature like you, crap, I love you so much, you are here... I... I-I just... — Levi sobs. And Erwin makes a signal saying that he has to attend a very important call in another place.

Levi's arms are around you, so strongly, you think you might die. But now you couldn't care less... You have just seen Levi cry two times.
That day when you left home... And now. Levi is desperate to make you fusionate with him in your embrace.
Slowly you try to correspond it.

— I-I promise this won't-h-h-happen again, oh please don't dissapear. Don't, just stay, I need you, (F/n), I just need you here with me, p-ple-please. — His voice is breaking again. Your heart is shredded when you hear his voice, slowly aiming to reach you. He doesn't make a movement but to embrace you -- Even so, you feel some wet drops on your neck. — I have learned, (F/n), I promise I have, don't continue this, don't leave me, let me love you, let me treat you like what you really deserve. I will take holidays, I will concentrate on you, I will make up for our lost time, I know it sounds impossible but I... I would do a-anything to make you mine again -- And when I say mine, I also mean I will belong to you again, I will be yours once more. I remember each word we sayed in our wedding ceremony: I have been doing nothing but playing again and again the old videoclips, recorded things someone took that day and to whom I'll be forever grateful, because he has taken every angle of you, of your face, of your dress, of your smile, emotions... I have never seen a more beautiful bride — Levi is trembling trying to control himself and you finally take his head to your chin. You make him hear your heart beat, for avoiding him see your tears.

Slowly you both get to the ground. He gets into your neck sobbing and trembling once you are down there.

And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something...

— Hey (F/n)... Say something...
Your lips open finally, you seem to have given again the chance to talk -- your throat opens.

Levi... I haven't give up on you.
His sobs stop when your voice is heard. His trembling stops. The world stops.
And all that's left, is to hear a low whimper, like someone has been relieved from a great burden. The whimper of a child -- his whimper.
The 'I love you' doesn't seem to be enough. Levi is so sensitive, has been released from hell so suddenly, he doesn't know what to do but to cry more and to murmur low "thank you's" from the bottom of his heart.



BONUS ENDING
{Out, in the terrace}
 
He gazes up still with some tears in his face.
The morning is clear, the colors are calid: orange, yellow, red, and somehow purple. Is the start of a new day. Of your new beggining.
You try to do your best removing the tears of Levi's face with the sleeve of your cashmere jumper.
— That's from Erwin, isn't it? - He murmurs looking sharply to the cloth.
She smiles ands nods removing the wetness from the pullover.
— Can we burn it down after this? The asshole tried to take advantage of the situation.
You tilt your face with a face that advices him to stay quiet and to be careful with what he says.
— I have said I haven't given up on you... But not that I forgive you... Entirely - You remark
His face changes inmmediately and catches what he just have said.
— We have to talk about a lot of things. — He quickly says taking your hand with his. He kisses each knuckle on your right hand and lovingly stares at you waiting for your final answer. — Sorry, about what I've just said, that has been an stupid thing, please don't mind it, you can conserve it and I can even wash it.
You laugh seeing how terrified he is to say something stupid, but calmly reassure him with a smile.
— Yes we have to talk and clarify some things... It's all right as long as you know what you've done wrong, Levi. I will... Eventually... Forgive you, just give me time. And hugs. And kisses. And cuddles.
He laughs taking you finally again in his arms, as you finally let him, making Levi the happiest man at that hour of the day.
— I love you.
You bury your face in his chest and the blonde man who has been watching all the scene in silence finally leaves, letting the cigarette butt touch the ground of the terrace. He silently gets out of the top of the building, descending the stairs while sighing to himself. 
— And all of this, for nothing... Hey, (F/n), say something else. — Erwin murmurs to himself lighting up another cigarette. — I still don't want to give up on you.

SOOO FINALLY HERE IT IS. I don't have enough sorry's to excuse myself on how long has this take to writen. I still think I haven't accomplish what I really wanted to do (although some tears formed in my eyes at some point when I was writen this), because I really loved this series, and maybe this is not what you were expecting... But I think this is the right thing, because Reader is all in all in love with his husband, he has been there when nobody was and Levi has supported this promising writer since the beggining... We all hate cheaters, but I believe in forgiveness. I just hope some good reviews and comments on how this could have been better or if its fine like this.

I confess I left this after the SS1, but... It has still take a lot of time to me, I have erased this story a lot of times, redid it, TWO TIMES IT EVEN ERASED ITSELF IN STA.SH, and my mind wanted this to be perfect. I DUNNO, I JUST HOPE TO MAKE YOU ALL CRYAGAINTHANKS.

Why’d you forgive a cheater? Not cool. Not cool at all. Levi you should be ashamed of yourself.
