Medicals
Disclaimer: I do not own Attack on Titan, any of its characters or properties
It was the annual medical checks for the Survey Corps. The medicals themselves were simple and usual procedures, involving testing of the eyesight, hearing, strong bone structure, healthy weight, general fitness and so on. It had also included an analysis of their mental health too. Like the other branches of the military they were necessary to ensure that the Survey Corps were at their fighting best. Given the Survey Corps having the highest casualty rate of the three branches, their fitness and health was vital. The Cadets, Garrison and themselves (the Military Police did not count, those soft, lazy bastards being nice and cosy behind Wall Sina all of the time) needed to be at their peak physical condition, it could make a difference between life and death when squaring off against the Titans.
The rank and file of the Survey Corps, this included Eren, Mikasa, Armin and their friends had already gone through their medicals. They had been stripped bare and were all wearing white towels to preserve their decency. They had all passed, but many had received 'cautions' concerning their health and there had been issues. Eren and Mikasa had passed without any problem whatsoever, Armin and Krista had both had a panic attack at the sight of a needle, Jean had almost gotten into a fight with one of the doctors, Connie was told eat more and Sasha was told to eat less. Apart from these minor incidents, they were all given the green light, and left going about their own business doing chores, training or getting into trouble. This was normal behaviour for the group of teenagers and had been expected, especially for a group of teenagers that squared off against Titans on a regular basis.
Given their ranks, the officers had the right to be given exclusive treatment away from the lower ranks, and that suited them just fine. Whilst they were fond of the men and women under their command and cared for them very much, Erwin Smith, Levi Ackerman, Hange Zoe and Mike Zacharius preferred to keep their dignity intact. Wearing only towels in front of the rest of the Survey Corps would only be asking for trouble, trouble the Commander and the Squad Leaders would prefer to avoid happening.
Levi stood to one side, wearing only his towel, having completed his health form and waiting for his turn in taking the medical. Erwin and Mike had already finished and passed theirs, the doctor was now going through their paperwork, the Captain of the elite 1st Squad had his back against the wall and his arms crossed on his chest.
'Good morning Levi', chirped a perky voice. 'How are we today?'
Levi turned to owner of that bright chirpy voice. Apart her glasses, she too was wearing only a towel to preserve her decency.
'For being at a boring medical when I know I'm healthy enough to kill a Titan', droned Levi in a bored tone. 'Good, I suppose. You?'.
Hange looked at her colleague and gave him a toothy grin. She hated these medicals just as much as her fellow Squad Leader did. Hange understood that they were necessary procedures, but that did nothing to lessen her dislike to them, especially when she could using that time to study on captured Titans or just socializing with her fellow officers, especially Levi.
'I'm fine thanks', she replied. 'Although I can imagine better things to do then wait, naked under a towel, for a doctor to tell me what I'm already know about my body'.
Levi turned to the woman, keeping a dead panned look plastered on his face and nodded in agreement. They had an understanding, both respecting the other and their personality in their own special way, even if it constantly looked like they were out to get one another. They were friends really. The way they grilled and tormented each other was just their way of showing their affection.
'You just need to wash every now and then', he said. 'And you'd have a clean pass if you didn't stink of stale sweat and Titan gut's'.
'Well we can't all be as immaculate as a certain Squad Leader I know', Hange returned with another smug grin on her lips.
Inside, Levi smiled to himself, he liked when they got into these 'debates'. Unlike Erwin and Mike, Hange responded to his taunts and was able to find the right facts to provoke him into further argument or stump him in arguments at times. It's kind of funny we're having a debate like this when we're both wearing just a towel he thought to himself. We always seem to get into these sort of situations together.
The pair of Squad Leaders continued their chatting and debating until it was time for their physical check ups, including taking their height and weight in account. Given their genders, they were separated for a hour or so. After that time, both were given the okay with some advice for dietary and hygiene issues and sent on their way.
Now with the medical finished, the pair once again stood side by side, waiting for the doctor to come back with the last of the forms that were needed to be signed before they could leave. Hange was confused. She had checked both of their heights and weights, and despite her being taller then Levi, he was heavier then her, weighing 65kg against her 60, it just didn't make sense.
'This makes no sense whatsoever', she stated. 'You're shorter and look so much skinnier. How come you weigh so much more then me?'
Levi remained silent, keeping his blank look on his face. Hange was still curious though.
'What makes you so heav. . . . . . .' she trailed off as she figured out her own question, she looked at Levi's cloth covered waist.'. . . . . .y'.
Her eyes widened with shock as red blush spread across her face from her realization.
'Oh my fuck', was all she could say.
Levi crossed his arms and smiled smugly. He did not utter a single word.
I remember seeing a bunch of pictures off Pinterest that inspired this first chapter. I thought I had to start with something short and sweet. This will be a series of one shots resolving around Levy and Hange. I will try to not make any spoilers, if I do, sorry in advance. Hope you guys enjoyed this new chapter. This story is T rated, but will change if I decide to. I will update as soon as possible. Until then enjoy :)
