~Ashley's POV~

We walk out to start our hand-to-hand combat of course as being the last two people out there, I was paired with Armin. Knowing he wasn't very strong, I went easy.

[I don't know much about hand-to-hand combat, so I'm going to say what I think sounds good, and let's see where it leads.]

I let him take the first hit, only to dodge quickly, a retaliation in minced, but I didn't want to hurt him, so, I only dodged. "You don't handle to go easy on me, I know I'm no match against you." He said, going to kick my legs from under me.

I fall to the ground just to jump right back up, hitting his chest with my foot, knocking him back, and breathless. He stumbled backward, coughing slightly. "Oh, my gosh!" I hurry over to him. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you…"

"N-No, it's fine… I should have expected that from someone as strong as you…" He said, standing up to sit.

"How about such a good fighter go against me?" Said an all too familiar voice, Jean. "Ah, well, I could try…" I smirk as I get into fighting stance. "So who makes the first move?" I ask, right before Jean lunged at me. Quickly, I move away, punching his side.

He jolted away, turning to face me. He's smart, number one rule of fighting, never turn your back to the enemy.

I head forward, going to hit him as hard as I can, but a hand stops me. Who did it belong to? "I'm sure that if you can spare against her, you can spare against Humanity's Strongest." Corporal Levi stepped from behind me.

Jean only stuttered before pretending to be buff, emphasis or pretending. Corporal Levi kicked his ass. "Cadet Rose." He called, making jump and salute. "Meet me in 10 minutes." He walked away, brushing past my slightly shorter figure.

To be honest, I'm only 5"0 tall, making him only 3 inches taller. But I didn't mind being short, I'm sure it made other people less worried about their height.

Anyways, back to reality, a few minutes passed before I left the fighting area to meet my captain.

Before we get there, let me tell you what I was worried about:

My arms, legs, sides.

My eating habits.

My sleeping habits.

My crush on him.

Yes, I had a few things to worry about. Let's see what he wants, and let's get this over with.

I give a small sigh as I knock on the door. "Name and purpose of being here." Came his normally cold voice. "Ashley, sir, and you told me to come." I state, hearing papers rustle as I guessed he put them down. "Come in." He said, standing up.

I open the door and step into the room. "Close the door. Lock it." He ordered, and, surprise surprise, I followed his orders. "Good. Do you know why I called you in here?" He asked, walking over towards me. "U-Uh, n-no sir…" I say. "Give me your hand." He said.

Slowly, I move my hand towards his. He grabbed it to hold it in place, one hand below, one hand above. "Lift your sleeve." He commanded. I didn't move, scared of what he would see. "Are you disobeying your commanding officer?" Captain Levi asked, eyes darkening. "No sir…" I look at him. "Then roll up your sleeve." He ordered once more. And I do it, I lift up my sleeve.

I only hear Captain Levi sigh and let go of my hand. "You'll need someone to watch you, huh?" I sit quietly. "Take a seat." He said, moving his hands from mine, sitting at a desk, opening a drawer. I sit in front of his desk and look.

"Arm." Captain Levi ordered. I give my arm over as he brings out a damp rag and some bandages. Dabbing my arm softly, he notices my wince. "They're new…" He muttered and finished cleaning and bandaging my arms. I knew he knew about my legs and side, but someone else already cleaned and bandaged them.

"Now, you're not allowed to be in your room al9ne, or would you like to move into someone else's room?" He put the things up, and looked at me. "I could move in with someone."

"Alright, do pack your things, you're moving in with me." He said. 'What?! You can't move in with him!" My mind shouted at me. "O-Oh, well, t-thank you, sir…" I hurry off to unlock the door. After I leave, I lift my sleeve, looking at the bandage.

"Ashley!" My friend, Armin, called to me. "Oh, hey!" I rip my sleeve down and smile at him. "What did Captain Levi want?"

After I discuss a small lie, as not to break his heart anymore, yes, he is the one who bandaged my sides and legs, he nods. "Okay, that sounds like it will be fun huh?" He chuckled, I laugh a little and nodded.

"Well I have to move out of my room into someone else's…" I say, packing a bag. "Ah, well, I wish you luck with your new room mate…" He said. I nod. "I'm going to live with a very good, very clean person…" I admit. "Sounds nice…" He said.

"Well, I have to go now…" I put the bag on my shoulder and walk out to meet my roommate by my new room.

"Bag number one." Levi stated, grabbing the bag. "Bag number only one. I didn't have much, considering I don't do much…" I chuckle softly and walk into the room while he put my bag down. "Ah, well, I hope tomorrow's better." I say, Levi nodding in agreement.
