SNK-SONGFIC: EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD (by LORDE)

Pairing: Levi x OC
Link to this song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hne-eJ…

Listen to LORDE's version for better understanding of this ffc.

(Intro)

The members of the West Unit of the Scouting Legion stayed up late, as usual. Their leader, the Assistant Corporal Schwarz, was sitting in her chair next to the fireplace. She was also the last one to stay behind, when everyone else went to sleep. She keep staring at the fire. It was one of those nights… where she couldn’t escape her own thoughts.

“Welcome to your life…”

A young girl was running through the dark alley. She was hurt. Bruised. Covered in blood. And she was crying.

“There's no turning back…”

This boy, older than her, took her into his arms and hugged her. Tightly. She burried her head into his collarbone, and breathed his scent. He stroked her long, black hair. She didn’t speak for days after he found her like that.

“Even while we sleep…”

He stayed by her side. He covered her with a worn-out blanket and laid down next to her. To warm her up. To calm her down. And it worked.

“We will find you…”

She was still shaking. But she was comforted by his presence.

“Acting on your best behavior…”

“Levi…” she whispered, and the boy just looked at her.

“Turn your back on mother nature…”

He knew she will talk to him when she is ready, and didn’t want to rush her.

“I… d-did s-something terrible...” the girl sobbed.

Everybody wants to rule the world…”

Ezra Schwarz looked at her hands. They seemed normal. But she knew… that no matter how many times she washes them… the blood will never get off. And it wasn’t just… the blood from killing titans. She drew human blood.

“It's my own design…”

She ultimately grew into a soldier. A fighter. Forged by Levi, forged by others, and by her own, iron will. But she lost so much in the process.

“It's my own remorse…”

That little girl she used to be… was so ashamed. It took her a lot of courage to confess to Levi her grave sin. She believed he’d judge her… or get angry. Abandon her. But he didn’t react that way at all. He hugged her tighter.

“Help me to decide…”

“I am glad you killed that pig. For if you didn’t… I surely would have,” he admitted, deadly serious.

“Help me make the most of freedom…”

And for that, she loved him. He understood her. So, she decided that, no matter where he goes… she will follow. She owed him that much.

“… and of pleasure…”

But when exactly did she… grow to desire him? And when did he start to return these feelings to her? When did they decide that they’ll be lovers?

“…Nothing ever lasts forever…”

It doesn’t matter. It’s all behind her anyway. Everything must come to an end - so does lust, and so does love. But why does she miss him so much, then?

“Everybody wants to rule the world!”

The only thing that matters now… is for her to grow even stronger. She must focus on acquiring power in order to forget her pain.

“There's a room where the light won't find you…”

Here she is. On her own, in her darkness. A leader, a Corporal. But empty.

“… holding hands while the walls come tumbling down…”

And missing him so damn much. His embrace. His lips. His warmth.

“…when they do I'll be right behind you…”

We’ve promised, didn’t we? That we would always be together, no matter what.

“… so glad we've almost made it…”

And we almost kept that promise. Didn’t we, Levi?

“… so sad they had to fade it…”

But, because of that other girl… because of Petra…

“… Everybody wants to rule the world…”

It doesn’t matter, Ezra reminded herself. The Humanity does.

“… everybody wants to rule the world…”

This war against Titans must be her first thought. Not Levi.  

“… Everybody wants to rule…”

She mustn’t think about such trivial things as feelings. Right?

But here she is. Still thinking. Still hurting. Damn.

“… the world.”

The last flame in the fireplace died.

Whatever. It’s just another one of those nights… where she couldn’t shake her memories away.

I don't own the song, it belongs to Lorde, and Tears For Fears ^^
Levi belongs to Hajime Isayama, and the SNK universe.
Ezra belongs to me :)
Pairing: Corporal Levi X Corporal Ezra Schwarz

The original song is interpreted by Tears For Fears, but I've chosen Lorde's version, since it's darker, and fits the mood better. :) Soooo... after a lot of struggling, I've decided to post it, and blah... sorry if I ruined the song for you :XD: 


Don't ask me why I've chosen this song in particular. I don't know. It just inspired me.

Also, this is my first crapfic songfic, so pardon me if I missed the concept.

In case you wondered how Levi felt, here's: SNK Songfic 2 - Levi x OC (Ezra Schwarz).

Ezra is the protagonist and narrator of my LANCE CORPORAL ffc series, as you may, or may not know :XD:

Levi and SnK belong to Hajime Isayama. :) I claim no ownership of the midget, though I would like to.

YOU MAY NOT REPRODUCE/REWRITE/REPOST this story ANYWHERE without my WRITTEN PERMISSION. Also, I know there are many grammar mistakes, and wrong expressions, but it's my work and I, and only I keep the right to change it, should I see that fit.
