Chapter 2
Some time still remained until the crack of dawn, as Julie wore her uniform and headed towards the canteen for having a cup of tea.
She took a seat near the window, where she could clearly see the district of Stohess, still covered in the early morning darkness due to the wall.
She sipped on her tea, when she heard someone come in. She turned her head towards the door and saw Levi standing there.
Levi Ackerman
What are you doing here?
Julie Zoë
Drinking....tea I suppose? [She said lifting the cup]
Levi Ackerman
[He blinks and took a seat parallel to hers]
Levi Ackerman
It's still early.
Julie Zoë
Yeah well, I had some weird dream so couldn't bother going to sleep again. [She said sipping on her tea]
Levi Ackerman
[He blankly stared at her, then her cup, and then her again]
Julie Zoë
What? Do you want some?
She asks stretching her hand to offer him tea from her cup.
Levi Ackerman
Tch, I don't want your filthy saliva in my mouth. [He rested his arm on the seat and leaned back]
Julie Zoë
[She rolled her eyes as she continued with the drinking]
She parted her lips to say something again, but stopped without saying anything.
Levi Ackerman
Just speak already.
Julie Zoë
[She placed the cup down and clasped her fingers together]
Julie Zoë
You wouldn't be willing to tell me what I'm about to ask anyway, so it doesn't matter.
Levi Ackerman
As long as it's not about what we found in the basement.
Julie Zoë
Bull's eye. [She snickers]
Levi Ackerman
It's probably the hundredth time you've asked this to me ever since we came back.
Julie Zoë
But, you're well aware of the fact that how desperate I am, right?! [She suddenly grasped his hand and looked at him with her twinkling eyes]
Levi stared at her for some time, his sharp gaze never leaving her. But soon he retreated his hand from hers.
Levi Ackerman
Rules are rules. [He said standing up]
Julie Zoë
I could've just asked Hange, but I haven't met her at all since y'all came back.
He glanced back at Julie who was still looking at him with a sulking look. He sighed and turned his back at her.
Levi Ackerman
It'll be disclosed soon to the public.
Julie jumped in happiness at his statement.
Julie Zoë
Hah, you do melt at my cuteness. [She hit his shoulder playfully with a teasing smirk]
Levi Ackerman
Tch. [He looked away and walked out of the canteen]
She watched him walk out, as she stared back outside the window. The sun was now up, she stretched her hand in front of her face.
Julie Zoë
*The truth about this world, about....myself. I'll know it soon!*
