Purely a fictional story of a fictional story. Featuring Levi x Eren/Rivaille x Eren either way! Hoaiii! Tonight's the night the team strikes! I'll be keeping the scenes short since I can't really write people getting eaten (we still have no idea who's gonna die in the anime/manga after all) anymore so I'll simply explain their victories outside the walls then it's back to Erevi okay \o/
(Oh btw there's this thinny-whinny change of how I address Levi. Depending on the situation, I'll use heichou or Lance/Corporal accordingly! You don't have to mind this so much C: )
"Commander, sir! Everyone is present and ready to move out under your command!" the soldier whom looked in his forties saluted infront of his commander, whom, as usual, had a far-sighted look on his face. "… Right. Let's head out."
"Woah… those guys are at it again?" many of the people have gathered by the gates to send off the Scouting Legion on their final mission. "Unbelievable, I know right?" exclaimed another. "They've already lost so many people… yet they're still… furthermore, this late in the night! What is the commander thinking!?"
Within the crowd, there laid many families of the deceased members. Silently, they sent the team off, praying in their hearts that they would be no more casualties before the day… where they can finally live outside of the walls again.
"Hold on, Jean! I'll get it!" Armin aimed his gear at a tree and swung himself towards the titan's back. The titan pulled Jean away from its mouth and turned around to grab Armin. Unfortunately for it, Armin was faster and had drawn his Dual Blade, slashing a deep cut in the titan's neck, causing it to fall and burn to nothingness.
"Jean! Are you okay!?" Armin rushed over to Jean, whom was coughing from the bad smell of the rotted titan. "Yeah. Thanks, man. Never thought there'd be a day where I'd be saved by you." Jean smiled, but man, he sure ain't getting used to this at all. Like, getting picked up and brought close to a titan's face… bleh, such a bad memory for a man merely at the beginning of his adult days. "These radars the development team invented are really useful for telling us how many titans there is close-by. That's the only reason I could find you so quickly." Armin reached out his hand to Jean, whom grabbed onto it gratefully. "Yeah. Let's go check if there are any others that need some help."
"Ahhhh! Heichou! You could've left me that one! I wanted to do experiments on that one!" Hanji sulked as she and Levi swung after Eren, whom was moving full speed ahead.
"Are you stupid? Our mission is to 'Annihilate the Titans', not to 'Annihilate All but One for Experimental Purposes'. Do you even understand what that means?" even though Levi said it so threateningly an intelligent titan would've ran, Hanji simply laughed without a care in the world. "As expected of an ex-hooligan! Ya sure in a bad mood today, ain't cha, Levi heichou?" that tone of hers pissed Levi off as usual. With a tsk, he decided to speed up after Eren. "Ahhh–" Hanji's eyes followed him as he turned smaller (than he already is) then out of sight. "He got mad. Oops." She grinned and went after them, shouting, "Hey, don't blame me if you run out of gas!" on second thought, she rephrased her sentence, "Don't leave me behind~~~!"
"It's clear at Y–" shortly after, many teams have already gathered at the agreed meeting spot after wiping out the titans in their designated areas. "Any casualties?" asked a man holding a board and a pen. "No, sir," the guy reported. "Good. Stay here with the others. We're still missing Levi heichou's group."
Just as he said that, Hanji landed infront of the man with a loud 'YEEEEE-HAWWWWWWW' like a cow-lady. "H-Hanji-san… please don't scare us like that!" Hanji raised her eyebrows questioning behind her glasses as she looked around. All the members were glaring at her with their weapons in their hands. Then she burst out laughing to the extent of rolling on the grass. "You guys are hilarious! Hahahaha! There are intelligent titans, but there's definitely not another me!" the members looked at each other with looks that all read there she goes again as they relaxed and returned to chatting about what they would do with their families once this is all over.
The man from earlier approached Hanji with a smile plastered on his face. "Hanji-san, where might heichou and the kid, Eren, be?" it took 5 seconds for Hanji to stop laughing and register his words. "Oh, them?" she said, stifling back more laughter (she sure does have a weird sense of humor, huh). "They've probably gotten rid of all the titans by now. Eren said he had something important to say to heichou, and they told me to come back first." When the man looked doubtful, she added, "Don't worry, don't worry! There's no way those two can die, right? One's a half-monster, and the other's a real monster!" she began laughing hysterically again. The man decided to ignore her and report to Commander Erwin that this time, they have truly succeeded.
"… Is it okay yet, heichou?" Eren asked nervously but not taking his eyes off Levi. The radars the two were holding were no longer making noises, making their surroundings somehow awkwardly silent. "Yeah. What you wanted to tell me last time; you can say it now."
Eren gulped and took a deep breath, rehearsing his lines in his mind one last time. Before this final expedition, he had consulted Jean to confirm his feelings. For some reason, though, he choked on his food when he heard about it. Eren wondered why was that so but oh well, he's got his own problems now.
"L-Levi heichou… I like you! Not in an admiring way… N-no, I mean! I do admire you too, but… err…" Shit! Why am I stuttering! Eren squeezed his eyes shut and clenched his fists for courage to finish his 'confession'. "What I want to say is that… I love you, Levi heichou!"
Hohoho! That's the end of this chapter! To those who actually looked forward to any fighting scenes, jeez I'm sorry guys :c
And I really meant the radar thing. While writing this chapter, I thought it'd be cool if the Scouting Legion had this new device thing which put them at an advantage against titans. So I thought a titan-sensor would be cool. Hehe c:
My real purpose of this chapter was the ending \o/ I'll leave Levi's reply to Eren's confession up to your imagination until I update! Hehehe~
