'Time to get up!' a voice announced deep inside her brain.
"No!" muttered the girl, curling further into herself, her hands tightly grasped the pure white sheets as she tried to send away the strong waves of pain that had assaulted her in the middle of the night and showed no intention of going away anytime soon.

-9am-Mess Hall-

"Where's (f/n)?" wondered Eren, looking around around as food was stuffed in his mouth, noticing said girl was nowhere to be seen. "She's never late!"
"She was still sleeping when I left!" babbled Sasha, her mouth filled with bread.
"Maybe I should go wake her up..." Christa suggested. "The corporal wouldn't be happy if she didn't attend the evaluations..."
Around the table, several heads nodded in agreement, observing the the blond as she abandoned the hall with Ymir following close behind.

-female quarters-

"(F/n)! (F/n)! Wake up!" Christa called in a sweet tone, gently shaking her friend's moaning form.
After 10 painfully long minutes... A tanned hand grasped the pristine sheets, violently yanking them away from the half-sleeping girl.
"OI, YMIR, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" snapped (f/n), sitting up on her now coverless bed while glaring at the tall brunette.
"I~ am waking you up, so that YOU can get to the training grounds in time for the evaluation and don't get in trouble with the midget!" she stated matter-of-factly.
(E/c) eyes widened largely in realization.
"E-evaluation... today..." stuttered the (h/c). "AH, I FORGOT!"
Jumping away from the not-so-soft mattress, the (e/c) eyed girl ran around the room, starting to get ready after telling the duo to to go on ahead and promising to join them soon after; though not before Christa placing two loaves of bread upon her just-as-short friend's hands, fully aware that the latter would have no time to go fetch breakfast for herself. A real angel she was, that blond cutie.
Get dressed; put on a pad; organise the bed; brush her teeth; shove the bread down her own throat an run...

Right on time! (F/n) had painfully stumbled into formation less than a second before the superiors arrived the place. A sigh of relief abandoned the (s/c) lips; a single second later and she would've been too late...

~~~3DMG Training~~~
Mikasa, excellent; Eren, good; Armin, decent; Jean, good; Christa, decent; Ymir, excellent; Sasha, good; Reiner, excellent; Bertholdt, excellent; Connie, decent; (f/n)... terrible...!
Everything had been going marvelously, everyone doing a great job as they managed their best...
It was (f/n)'s turn, at last. She took off not-as-gracefully-as-usually, but it was okay for everyone has bad days; she swinged around not-as-swiftly-as-usually, but that was okay for everyone has bad days; she not-as-meticulously-as-usually cut the nape of the first wooden titan, but that was also okay for not everyday can be a good day; and then... (E/c) orbs were locked on the next target, the maneuver gear attached to this second wooden titan. A sharp pain stabbed heavily at the cadet's abdomen; the focus were lost, her vision was blurred. A loud thud echoed as the female body crashed into the wooden figure, causing it to fall down. Loose wires threw the uncontrollably around like a rag doll as the figurine fell, until, that is... her body was thrown away, crashing into a large tree.
Curled up on the ground near the gigantic tree's roots, bracing herself while moaning in pain, her eyes tightly closed.
"Oi, brat!" came the oh-so-familiar growl. "What the f*ck do you think you're doing?" demanded the corporal, slightly poking the girl's back with his foot, only earning more whimpers from the cadet.
"Stop it, shorty! You're hurting her!" Hanji intervened, gathering the pained figure in her arms; Erwin kneeled down and softly patted the cadet's head.
"Are you alright, (l/n)?" inquired the commander. "Maybe you should stay put for today."
"I'm fine, sir! I can continue!" assured the cadet, her voice muffled by the older woman's overtightly embrace and the same's jacket.

~~~Horse Riding Circuit~~~
Mikasa, Eren, Armin, Jean, Christa, Ymir, Sasha, Reiner, Bertholdt, Connie... Everyone was riding exceptionally well, until the superiors' eyes fell upon... (f/n)...
"What the f*ck, cadet!?" Levi's shout echoed, the corporal was clearly annoyed.
On top of the saddle was (f/n), so far so good, but... instead of sitting down, she had her feet securely supported on the saddle and was curled down into fetal position. Wide (e/c) eyes blinked fearfully at the notice of whom the raven-haired male was talking to.
Her horse, as all others, stopped.
"I'm sorry, but it's really painful to sit down properly, sir!" she blurted out, suddenly standing up; for an instant, she managed an extremely sloppy salute, but, without any balance at all, she immediately fell down from the horse. A pained groan abandoned (s/c) lips as the girl, once again, clutched her stomach tightly.
"You really should stop hurting her, shorty!" Hanji mused, happily skipping towards the girl in order to help her up.
"I DIDN'T DO SH*T, SH*TTY GLASSES!" snapped the humanity's *cough*shortest*cough* strongest soldier.

~~~Hand to hand Combat~~~
Levi... Everyone had to face Levi... Needless to say, no one could stand the beating for more than 5 minutes (Mikasa held the record time of 4min48sec, according to Reiner and Bertholdt who had been betting about everyone's times).
Once again, the last one was the most disastrous one, not to mention rather ridiculous as well.
(F/n) stood facing the corporal. A few seconds passed before the raven head lunged forward, throwing a punch at the girl; bad timing, a wave of pain surged through the girl, making her bend over in pain, avoiding the superior's fist right on time; this process repeated itself 8 more times before the short man snapped.
"WHAT THE F*CKING HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, IDIOT?!" he demanded, looking down at the bent over girl.
A groan of pain...
"Corporal..." Armin called softly.
"Not now, Arlert!" growled the older soldier.
A whimper...
"But, sir..." Christa.
"I said not now!" insisted Levi.
"SIR, SHE'S BLEEDING!" Jean panicked.
A loud thud... The girl had collapsed. Greyish eyes widened in shock.
(F/n)'s pants were half covered in blood. He hadn't even touched her, so... where had all the blood come from?
A yell...
"WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Hanji ran up to the girl, kneeling down beside her.
"I DON'T KNOW, I DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH HER!" Levi shouted back.
"THAT CAN'T B-" Hanji started, being interrupted by Christa:
"Squad Leader Hanji... (F/n)'s not hurt, she's just with... you know..."
"OH! That makes perfect sense, seeing how her day was!" beamed the titan-lover, suddenly turning to Levi. "So~, good news: this wasn't your fault in any way! All she needs is a bath and resting, now if you don't mind..." in a moment, she disappeared, calling out for 'her babies'.
All the cadets slipped away, excusing themselves with 'cleaning'. Since when did they do that out of free will?
Erwin and Mike had also disappeared, muttering nonsense about the upcoming expedition.
Silvery orbs, once again, fell upon the fainted figure.
"Lucky me..." he muttered, carefully picking the girl up and taking her inside.

Silently, he sat on his desk scribbling on the papers; every now and then, he glanced at the open door of his room...
Among pristine sheets and covers, (f/n), now clean and warm, rested peacefully.
A sigh of relief left the male's pale lips as his hand placed the pen down and he leaned back.
He had never imagined himself in such position... His cheeks were still warm from the moment when he realized what the real 'problem' had been; how embarrassing it was, having to go ask one of the female cadets for help, having to admit he knew nothing about how to tend to someone in such situation, being the target of the girls' chuckles and giggles, having to have Christa (the shyest of all cadets) to help him and explain him how everything worked...
11pm... It was starting to get late when the corporal approached the bed again. Shirt off, pants replaced; the raven head slipped into the covers beside the younger female. It didn't take him long to fall asleep...

2am... (E/c) eyes fluttered open, quickly taking in her surroundings: she was inside a room she couldn't recognize at first, it was nighttime already, and... a half-naked corporal was asleep and holding her close. Pink dusted (s/c) cheeks as she became aware of the man's toned chest and stomach.
Now... last she remembered, she was on the training grounds on a combat with no other than the man now sleeping soundly beside her...
Thinking a bit, she came to her conclusion...
"Thank you, for taking care of me..." she mused, her voice low so as to not wake her companion.
"You better be!"
Looking up in surprise, silver orbs stared intently at her form.
"You were a f*cking huge load of trouble!" he stated.
"No one forced you to take care of me, you could've let me there!" she huffed.
"I guess... At least I wouldn't have had cadets mocking me because I needed help." he growled, his brow twitching ever-so-lightly.
"Then why didn't you ignore me?" urged the (h/c).
"Figure it out yourself, cadet!" he said. "Also, you are to remain in here until that... thing ends. Now, sleep!"
"But..."
"Sleep!"
"Yes, sir..."

"It's Levi!"
"Yes, Levi...!"
