You fall back onto your bed and stretch. You were exhausted. After cleaning half of the day to training for the rest, your body was aching more than it had after you were done with Levi's office. Your legs felt like jello and your arms were burning. And to think, you had to do all of it again tomorrow. You didn't mind, though. A part of you was actually excited to be able to see Levi again. Watch him secretly as he worked. You knew the feeling you had for him, but you wouldn't admit to them. Not until you knew he felt the same.

As if that will ever happen, you think dryly, eyes beginning to close. It would be great if he did, though.

You open your eyes to see Mikasa leaning over you. Her hand was on your shoulder and she was lightly shaking you.

"At least you didn't hit me this time," she joked, "It's time to get up and get the room in order."

You stand slowly and wince once your feet hit the ground. Pain shot up and down our body as your muscles clench uncomfortably. You couldn't be that much out of shape, for God's sake. It wasn't even that strenuous of work.

A sigh escaped your lips as you forced yourself to make your bed and get yourself in uniform as fast as you can. You could tell that today was going to be a long day. The pain was so bad that you felt like you had to throw up. You have never felt this much pain in your life.

"You worked hard yesterday," Mikasa looked at you once you were finished getting dressed, "didn't you?"

"Tch," you scoff as you salute towards the door, "I guess so, seeing as though my muscles feel like they are on fire."

"Levi will like seeing that you're working hard," she states, hands moving to a salute right as a knock came at the door.

This time, when the door opened, it wasn't just Levi at the door. Chief Erwin stood towering beside him in the doorway. Both of them scanned Mikasa's side first, as if he figured that your side would be messy like yesterday. The look of slight surprise on his face made you smile slightly.

"Wipe that smirk of your face, cadet," Levi said, which made you force back a bigger smile.

Erwin smiled at you, "I see you've learned from yesterday that Levi likes things clean. Your side looks good. Nice job."

You nod, "Thank you, sir."

"You look like you're in pain," he stated.

"I'll be okay, sir," you say, "Nothing to worry about."

He smiles wide, "I like you. Well, welcome to the survey corps, cadet. It'll be nice having someone like you on our side."

"Thank you," you nod. It was a great honor to be told that from the person who leads the special forces team of the scout regiment. But the one person you really wanted to hear it from, still has not said it yet. Maybe because you haven't proved your worth yet. Which would make sense.

He turns, but Levi continues to look at you, "I expect to see you promptly after you eat your breakfast in my office, brat. Am I clear?"

You nod slowly. You weren't sure how you were going to get through today with your body feeling the way it does.

He turns and follows Erwin out of your room. He glances one last time back at you before shutting the door.

"Did I do something wrong," you turn to Mikasa.

"Not that I believe," she answers, "Come on, let's go to breakfast. I'm sure you're hungry after not eating much of anything yesterday."

You bite your lip and follow her out of the room. With each step came more and more pain, causing you to become more and more uncomfortable. You begin to feel dizzy, so you stop and put your hand on the castle wall. The cold stone felt good on your warm hands. You lean forward and press your forehead against it and sigh.

"Are you okay," Mikasa places her hand on your shoulder.

You hear Levi's voice down the hall and you straighten, but keep your hand on the wall for support. Your vision is blurry and your legs felt like they would give out at any second. You watch as he walks to another room and knocks.

No, you think, this isn't going to bring me down.

"Let's go get some food and water in you," Mikasa says, beginning to help you walk down the hall. She put her arm under your shoulders and grabbed your hand in hers and began to walk.

As you passed by Levi, he turned his head slightly to look at you. Your (e/c) eyes lock with his charcoal-colored eyes as you walked by. His eyes widened slightly and his eyebrow cocked upwards. Why was he looking at you like that?

Silly man, you think with a small smile and a wave. His face goes back to its normal stoic expression right as the door opened, revealing Eren and Armin.

Eren's blue green eyes look right past Levi and to you. The look of worry began to show on his face, which soon was followed by Armin. You couldn't have looked that bad. The lightheadedness and the sick feeling in your stomach had to have been just the fact that you haven't had food in a while. You skipped dinner yesterday because of the pain in your body. But, not today. You would be sure to eat today. A low blood sugar was never good for a soldier.

And, like clockwork, your body went cold and your legs gave out from under you as your body fell to the floor.

"(First Name)," Mikasa's voice was the last one you heard before you blacked out.

Your eyes open slowly to see Mikasa, Eren, and Armin sitting beside your bed along with Levi sitting in a chair across the room with a less-than-pleased expression on his face.

You sit up quickly, "What happened? Why am I back here?"

"Do you really not remember anything," Armin asked, "You were awake through all of it until the end."

"I don't remember anything after I fell," you shake your head and press the palm of your hand to your forehead. You weren't sure how you could have stayed awake after the fall. You blacked out.

Mikasa handed you a plate full of food, "Eat and we'll explain and see if you remember."

As they talked and explained what happened, you eat. The fact that you were complaining that you were hungry and was in too much pain to keep living, crying through all of it, just didn't seem like you. You wouldn't complain unless it was deemed necessary to do so.

"I'm sorry," you look at all of them, "I get a low blood sugar if I don't eat…I guess I act like a completely different person."

"And one last thing," Eren smiled slightly, "You told Levi that you loved him."

Your eyes widen in fear and your body went warm. No... That couldn't be true. You told yourself that you would never tell him, no matter what. Maybe that was why he looked so disgusted, because now he knows one of his cadets were in love with him. Oh God… he was going to hate you now. This is exactly why you wanted to keep it a secret, so he didn't re-think his decision on allowing you to join his squad.

You stand quickly, "S-sir, I'm sorry. I don't know where that came from. Where any of that came from."

He looked at you for a moment before standing. He kept his eye on you as he walked to the door before he added silently, "I still expect you to work hard today, cadet. I'll see you in my office."

Once the door shut behind him, you fall back onto the bed, "Just kill me and get it over with."

"He really didn't seem to mind," Armin laughed, putting his hand behind his head.

"Yeah," Eren looked over at him, following in on the laughter, "which is super weird."

"Why did he look so disgusted when I woke up," you ask, annoyed.

"You threw up on his shoe after you said it," Mikasa smiled, "You know how he is with things being clean."

You did what, again? You threw up on his shoe after you told him that you loved him? Great. Now he definitely was going to have a problem with you.

You stand. Might as well go get lectured by him again about how wrong it is to be in love with a leader and how disgusting you were for throwing up on his shoe. You could see it now. Two more weeks of cleaning duty for that one.

But, maybe this time you could get into that room of his.

A/N: Hey, all. Hope you're still enjoying. I've been sick with the flu :( so if anything sounds weird, I'm sorry. I'm not all there right now.

Comments are always welcome. Just be nice ;)
