_{As many times as it had been done before, only this one time mattered. It was for once, he realized that the feeling in his gut resembled remorse, and not lust. But sadly, the deed was done, and neither you nor he could go back in time. And it hurt.

Silence resided in the room when you walked in on them naked. A mop of black hair shifting as a voice that wasn't yours giggled under the covers. Blinking was the only movement your body could condemn, as shaky sighs told the story before you.

You were being cheated on.

As if life timed it out just for you, both heads peaked from beneath the covers; one pair of eyes staring lovingly at someone you once called yours, and another directly caught in your gaze. Their eyebrows creased as a frown ensued. Letting your work bag fall unto the floor, your eyes couldn't stand the burn they received from looking at that disgusting sight before you. Yuck.

More like ouch.

Bursting from the bedroom in search of a temporary sanctuary, your mind could hardly register the mixed shuffling of clothes and footsteps behind you, only revealed when an outstretched hand grabbed the wrist that tightly clutched the handle of the front door.

Turning around, panting from rage and sadness, hair strewn across you face after coming out of the style you wore for work, the face behind you only seemed to make it worse. Regret was NEVER Levi's thing. Especially when it came to relationships. The quote burned through your mind, as if he only said it to you yesterday.
When in reality, he said it to help you get over your last boyfriend by asking you out.

'Choose for yourself, whichever decision you'll regret the least.'

It used to make you chuckle, that one saying almost causing you to say no to the whole 'let's date Levi' thing.

Now you wish you had.

Finally meeting his eyes, the look they had in them made you cringe. In them, there was sadness. It turned the rage that boiled in your soul and pit in your stomach into all out fury. Shaking off his hand gripping your wrist you decide you'd twist the knife. In both him and you.

But the moment you opened your mouth, you realized, what was there to say?

'I'm sorry to have wasted your time?'
'It's over?'
'How long has this been going on?'

No. You were not in the wrong, so you decided, it would be him to explain. It would be him to apologize. And it would be him to end it.

All since he started it.

Plainly raising your eyebrows and standing your ground, the tears trying to fall before kept your back tall. They kept the anger pulsing.
His tears did not, as you saw the uncharacteristically wobble of his eyelids. Your name was the first to escape his mouth.

"Levi." You replied with distaste. Him physically cringing at the tone of your voice. There wasn't the sweet vibe of love that rubbed against him as you usually spoke, but one of monotone. He wanted his pain to end, he wanted you to understand, he wanted to take it all back; selfishly forgetting he brought this on himself.

"I can explain... Please, if you give me the chance!" He praised whatever lord was up there, thanking them for not letting his voice break. Although when he heard the bitter laugh that escaped your lips, he cursed them once more, knowing that they were probably on your side.

"Then explain."

Yet, "...I love you" were the only words stuttered from his mouth.

Your capability of breath was stolen from you, as those words were those he must've wrenched from his throat. Your eyebrows dipped down, as the beat your heart just skipped threw you off guard. Of all times, now was the first of which he decided to say those god forsaken words.

'I love you...' His voice repeated in your mind, as you realized, he meant it. And you laughed, turning the doorknob once more, while walking out of poor Levi's life.}
