Hello there, this was written in conjunction with Levihan Spook-fest 2017. So for the first week the prompts are as below and I chose the dreams/nighmare prompt for this week. Since there are five prompts I decided to write a five chapter story as my contribution.

Prompt : Week 1 : i)horror movies ii)dreams/nightmares iii)fog

Rules: Tag your stuff as #levihan, #levihan spook fest, #levihanweek

This is going to be a five chapter story and maybe with an epilogue to tie things up. It's Levihan time!

Hange had wailed at the sight of her alien specimen disintegrate into steam and wafted into the galaxy. However when she remembered that she had at least managed to take photographs of the alien's severed finger the size of her palm, she quieted down and began sobbing. She knew that the alien's main body was now badly injured which caused it's finger to disintegrate. There was so much alien things she needed to discover but the alien they called titan was easily damaged so it was crucial she collect data as soon as she could.

Behind her Levi kept the alien or Titan badly injured but alive by keeping on the defense instead of offense. Levi kept the titan alive as Hange examined its finger in the background. But then Commander Keith Shadis had arrived abruptly and upon seeing the absurd scene ordered that the Titan be killed off instantly. Hange had begged for the Titan to be kept in lock up for her to examine further but the Titan proved to be too tough to be capture after it was injured and Commander Shadis did not want any casualties for the sake of science. So Levi upon Shadis' order had sliced the Titan's nape and killing it and along with Hange's specimen too.

The whole shenanigan lasted about an hour and Hange was punished for prolonging an attack longer than necessary. She was put on pribation by being shipped to Stohess Universitt for the remainder of the year. She had pleaded with Captain Erwin and Commander Shadis but they maintained that she was out of line this time and they had no expenses for science experiments this year and told her to come back early next year.

Hange had only notebooks and photos from the experiment. That was a few months ago and Hange was looking forward to return to Shiganshina, the planet near wall Maria starting next year. She had only a few weeks left to stay here and she was already storing her things in the metal storage she was shipping to Shiganshina prior to her trip back there. Her few months probation here at Stohess had made Hange more determined about researching the Titans, a race of enlarged humanoid creatures who made eating humans as a hobby.

The scientist was reminiscing her memories months ago while closing her experiments she was finishing at Stohess University. She would certainly miss the days of lecturing her students on Titan biology which was never a part of the curriculum anyway. The Vice Chancellor of the University had reprimanded her for always being out of topic but she was just reprimanded, as her students had good scored in the final examination last week. Hange had handed in her resignation letter and expected that the VC will not miss her, but instead the VC had welcomed her back should she find her duties at Shiganshina boring.

Hange had vowed to follow the rule this time and not succumb to her love of Titan knowledge to overpower her like before.

Hange opened her communication tablet which everyone affectionately calls the comm tab, and proceeded to check her emails. She rarely ever emails Levi knowing that her former colleague would only read and reply to it later. But she did not care as Levi sould always reply to her unlike her other colleagues.

Hey,

I missed you and the Titans. I hope you can meet me up when i return as it's less than a fortnight to 2854, and I am returning to Shiganshina. I won't be able to celebrate new year there since Commander S told me that my probation ended this year, and tickets were sold out on New Year. Hey, I just remembered that your birthday is just round the corner, so how are you celebrating then? Anyways hope you have a nice birthday and see you soon.

Hange

Hange closed her comm tablet and packed her things into her bag. A soak in the bathtub would be a good way to prepare for the end of the day. Hange got up and strapped the bag onto her body and stretched. She left her room where she works at coming with weekly teaching plans and headed for home. She was taking this easy the teaching thing. It was mainly because the day had come and she would be back to being the junior scientist at Wall Maria, dabbling in Titan science and getting her hands dirty with blood and sweat while discovering which she had sorely missed.

"Hange Captain, wake up the Titan had regenerated and is escaping!" someone screamed into her ears. Hange woke up and found herself asleep in her laboratory's desk. She immediately perked at the mention of titan and turned back to see where the titan could be. She had not been touching a titan for months … Suddenly she felt her body being kicked into a corner but before she could land someone caught her and they swung away outside of the building.

The man made sun was shining brightly and Hange was elated to discover that she was back at Shiganshina. The someone who had grabbed her quickly pushed her aside.

"Late nights again Hange? Your shitty ears never heard the titan alarm?" the person said.

Hange landed on grass and turned to have a better look at the person and locked eyes with a pair of grey eyes which looked pointedly for a few seconds at her before flying away. Hange was relieved to see that it was Levi and proceeded to shout at him, "Kill em all this time, I won't be needing a specimen."

She looked at Levi as the lieutenant launched himself into the air with rockets fitted into his sides. He had laser blades in his hands and activated them as he landed on the titan's neck. Hange had greatly learned from her past behaviour to always listen to orders and watched as the titan still in chains ran amok at the Survey Legion.

Levi flew and chucked his blades into the titan's eyes blinding the alien. The blue skinned alien which Hange estimated to be at least a 15 metres class covered its wounded eyes with its hands. Hange cheered for Levi to finish it off. At the back of her mind she was sighing that another specimen is loss but this titan would be more difficult to handle when injured so better to kill it off.

So Levi as usual spun his blades around and aimed straight for the nape and Hange watched with wide eyes as the Titan took away one of its hand from its eye and smacked Levi away. Levi nearly got hit but his awesome reflex enabled him to escape in time. Hange clapped her hands in nervousness, the titan can't be that quick without its sight and while injured right? She did not know much about abnormal titan like this so she could only wish that Levi was fast as usual. But the titan turned around as if it saw levi flying away and grabbed Levi's foot with its other hand and smashed Levi into the ground. In a swift second it stomped Levi with its feet and the other soldiers come attacking right after.

Hange couldn't believe her eyes at the fact that the puddle of gore was Levi. Levi was dead, hailed as humanity's strongest, and he was defeated just like that by a lab titan. The other soldiers quickly attacked the titan, shooting its hands and legs in a group attack. Hange ran to the spot she last saw Levi being stomped and saw his body, flat on the earth and blood everywhere. She knelt beside the body, she tried to look for the eyes she had looked at earlier, where were they? But in the bloody mess she could only see bloodied Survey Legion uniform and matted hair. Someone was shouting and Hange breathed hard, she looked above and saw the titan foot coming fast at her and….

Hange splashed in her bathtub and got soap and bubbles in her eyes. She quickly wiped away the soap and looked around and she was no longer in the fields at Shiganshina, she was back at her room in Stohess. It took a few seconds for Hange to get back to reality and realized that she was not dreaming. She slinked back into the bath tub and realized that she had fell asleep and it was all a dream. Hange lifted her body up and grabbed for her comm tab and wiped away at the layer of water covering the monitor. She looked around and saw that her bathtub walls were quite dirty and made a mental note to hire help to clean her bathroom before she left Stohess. There was a notification on her email apps and quickly opened it.

Her lips curved into a smile as she saw that Levi had replied to her. She looked at the time and saw that Levi's shift must have just ended.

Shitty glasses,

Do you still wear those glasses or have you had lasik? The titans were missing you too. Good to know you are coming back, grab some Stohess organic tea for me if you are able. I am celebrating my birthday with Kenny just staying at home.

Captain Levi.

.

She leaned back into her bathtub and closed her eyes. She was relieved to know that Levi was alive in reality, he was humanity's strongest after all so the only time he would be dead now would only be in her dreams.

Hange opened her eyes and rubbed the place beside her nose bridge where her glasses usually rested, she was never ever going to wear contact lenses nor resort to lasik for now. She was only 29 and glasses never bothered her so far, not when she was experimenting on titan at Maria nor while she was leading a boring life here at Stohess. She did not want to admit to Levi that she was missing the Shitty Glasses nickname he had for her, though she was sure it was more an insult rather than a fond nickname. But she did not care, as long as Levi was alive and wanting to be her friend, she was ok. He was the only who sometimes let her experiment on field, letting her inspect titan parts while he battled them. His only condition was that no one was going to get killed in the process so she usually found herself experimenting on the last titan alive.

She smiled as she thought about returning to titan science again and this time she was going through the right channel. Taking her away from the titan knowledge was the best punishment for her and she was sure the next time she broke the rules she would probably end up as a school teacher in Sina, which in Hange's diary is a nightmare.

Closing her eyes she dipped into the now cold bath water and let her mind wander for a bit. But then something struck her.

Kenny?

Hange frowned as she asked herself out loud, "Kenny? Who's that?" She put aside her comm tab back on the wet bathtub wall and wondered. She had been friends with Levi for a few years but never knew anyone from his life named Kenny. It must be a relative, but so far she never heard Levi having any family and knew that he was an orphan from the Underground, a planet on the other side of the Wall Maria circle where former prisoners reside. Kenny could also be a boyfriend, Hange thought. That made her realize something, Levi was capable of love… Oh? Hange smiled and thought what type of boyfriend would Levi be to his significant other. She got out of the bath with that thought in mind and thought about the moments when Levi was particularly concerned about her, like telling her to bathe constantly, he would definitely be a freaking clean boyfriend. Hange snickered and grabbed her comm tab and made a note to buy Levi a few packs of Stohess tea as souvenir.
