Summary:
During the last few weeks, maybe even the last month Mikasa had been feeling lightheaded and weak. She didn't tell anyone though. She wanted to be a part of the missions. She needed to protect Eren. As if it wouldn't be hard enough as it was; he seemed to get angry every time she even made a gesture to help. The fact that she was sleeping with a certain corporal didn't help her focusing on her main goals.
Levi stared at the sleeping young girl. She looked pale, and he found himself thinking that he liked her cheeks pink, especially if he was the reason behind it. Sudden flashbacks from one of their many passionate nights played in front of him, and he gritted his teeth in worry. Mikasa had just past out during training, and not woken up. She had not even been physically strained; she'd just watched Mike show some new combat techniques.
Knowing that they were alone in the room, he carefully placed his hand on hers. Her hand was cold, and soft. He found it fascinating that her small and soft hand could cause all the scars and bruises he had on his back.
"Is she awake?" A small voice behind him asked. He froze, and quickly let go of Mikasa's hand. He turned to whoever was talking, an annoyed expression on his face.
"What does it look like?" he asked coldly, staring at the nurse who had entered the room without even knocking. She was the medic, she shouldn't be asking questions. Before the young nurse, whose face was now red as a tomato, had time to respond, Levi continued with a calmer voice "What's wrong with her?"
The medic turned an even deeper shade of red, and opened her mouth. Not a word came out. Levi couldn't help but to think that she looked like a fish, a rather ugly fish, gaping like that.
"I-I… Uhm-"The medic started, not sure what to say. She avoided eye contact with Levi, and was fumbling with the file in her hands. "Uhm, I think tha-that Mi-mikasa should know first." she looked at him shyly. Levi clenched his fist, and nodded, even though he hated being unknowing. The medic realized that she was not welcome in the room, so she almost ran out, closing the door loudly behind her.
Levi let out a heavy sigh. He looked at Mikasa, knowing that she had to have something serious. He recalled an event from a few years back. His comrade Erikson had broken his collarbone in a fierce battle against a group of Titans. During the ordinary check-up, the doctor who was visiting from Wall Sina noticed a lump beneath his collarbone. He had called it a tumor, and told Erikson there was nothing to do. What he meant was that there was nothing that could be done outside Wall Sina. The only one beside Erikson knowing his condition was Levi. Three months later, Ericson had died. Levi frowned at the memory. The doctor had also wanted to tell Ericson that information in private. What if Mikasa suffered from the same thing? What if she was going to die? He decided that if that was the case, he was going to make sure she got the treatment she needed. He had lost too many people he loved; he wasn't ready to lose her as well.
Levi tightened his grip on Mikasa's hand, turning her hand white.
"Levi…" Mikasa mumbled. Her eyes flattered open, and he found himself starting into her beautiful, grey eyes.
"Mikasa" Levi gasped, and touched her cheek lightly. "How are you feeling?"
Mikasa frowned. It wasn't normal for Levi to act concerned like that. He was always formal and kind of cold. Never concerned.
"I'm fine…" she mumbled and sat up in the bed. Her body felt sore, and she had a horrible headache. Vague memories from earlier that day filled her head.
"I fainted…" she mumbled and looked at Levi questioningly. Levi nodded and placed his hand on her cheek.
"Yes you did." he confirmed. "The doctor knows why, but she wants you to know first."
Mikasa saw how irritated Levi was, and she couldn't help but to smile.
"I don't mind having you here when they tell me. I'd like it, actually." she confessed. Levi smiled and nodded.
In the same moment, the same nurse that earlier had stumbled in, opened the door. She nodded to Mikasa, and looked at Levi, hinting that he should leave thje room. He ignored here, and Mikasa bit her lip, trying not to laugh. He could be so childish sometimes.
"He can stay" Mikasa told to the nurse.
The nurse took in a deep breath and gently placed her hand on Mikasa's shoulder.
"Mikasa, I don't know how to tell this but"
Fuck. I am dying. This is it. I have a disease and I'm not going to be able to protect Eren and Levi-
"You're pregnant."
