As Zoe watched Armin after giving him some medicine Levi removed his shirt and placed it to the side on a chair. Zoe blushed as she caught site of Levi's upper body.
He had more muscle mass then anybody knew about. She kept her eyes glued to him as he looked right at her. "Stop looking at my body Shitty Glasses."
"Sorry Captain." She says with a blush on her checks as she turns away.
"Hmmmm." They hear as Arimn wakes up. "Hello Levi, Zoe. Levi, where's your shirt at?"
"You emptyed your stomach contents on it."
"Sorry."
"It's fine. Your lucky that we were here because you got sick in your sleep."
"I could have choked?" Levi nods his head. "Thanks for saving me."
"Of course."
"How long have I been in bed?"
"Almost all day. Your staying in bed untill your better." Zoe said as the child nodded his head. "No solid food until your feeling better."
"What will I eat?"
"Soup mostly."
"Okay then." Armin agreed as he stayed in bed. He was given one more meal and fell back asleep some time later.
Five days later.
"Wake up Armin. It's time for lunch." Zoe says as the five year old slowly rubs the sleep out of his eyes. "How are you feeling today?"
"Much better! I think i'm not sick anymore." He says with a smile as he begins to eat.
"That is good news. Your sleeping has been all over the place you know, but in a week or so it should be back to normal." She told him as she watched him eat.
"I hope so. Where's Levi?"
"On a mission."
"Oh."
"Don't worry, it's just a recon mission today." She said trying to make him feel better.
"That's good. At least he'll be back sooner then later. Maybe, we can spend time together!" He says as he thinks of what he could do with the Titan killer.
As Zoe smiled she thought about how Armin really brought the good side out from Levi.
Sorry about the huge skip but being depressed makes me not care about filling in the blanks of my work. Now I'm no longer depressed but I still want to get closer to the main plot. Well, my main plot that is. Sorry once again.
Three days before the attack on Shiganshina.
The sound of gunfire echoed through the Capital as Levi trained with his new gun. It was quite diffrent then what he expected. Armin was as smart as he let on. Perhaps a little smart. But that didn't bother him at all, he was happy to have someone as intelligent as him to talk to. As he reloaded his gun he felt the heat and the smell of gunpowder. The holes were of a normalish size and were also quite to Levi's liking. As Armin and Zoe watched the Titan killer put his new gun away in it's holster witch was located on his chest facing downwards and to the right. Left in Levi's case since he was left handed. Hw was wearing his S.O.S. outfit right now since he was going to leave soon.
"So, what do you think?" Armin asked with a smile while kicking his feet back and forth as Levi knelt down to his level with his normal look on his face. "Armin..." He said as both him and Zoe waited for Levi's anwser. "I like it. It's just a prototpye right now and can be improved on. Keep working on it and I think that it can go far when it come's to helping the S.O.S." He told the child genius.
"Really? Thanks Levi." He praised the Titan killer as said Titan killer hid a smile.
"You know Captain..."
"What?" He asked in his normal cold voice.
"...Maybe I should get a gun too?" She asked with a smile on her face, hopeing that he'd say yes.
"No."
"What, why not?"
"Why can't Zoe have a gun Levi?"
"Because she'll just use it as an excuse to test it on ant Titans that we take."
"But that's a good thing right?"
"Not when it's her. Once again, my anwser is no."
"Aw. But Captain Levi."
"For the last time Zoe, I said n-"
SMACK!
Time stood still as both adults were shocked at what just happened. Armin stood right infront of Levi, an angry look on his face as his hair covered his eyes and his left hand was in the shape of a fist. A mark was now imprinted on Levi's right cheek as he hid his shock behind his look as Zoe had her mouth wide open and hidden behind her hands. As Levi stood straight up, his face now cloacked in the shadows Armin spoke to him. "Levi, don't talk like that about Zoe. She just asked if she could use a gun like you when there done being made. I do not see the need for you to be act like that."
"Is that so Armin?" Levi asked. "Well then, here's my anwser." Levi told the five year old in a quiet tone. Next, he returned the favor by striking him so hard that he hit the ground. "We're even." Levi said in a dark tone as he put his hood on and left for the outer capital. As he faded away from view Zoe helped the now shaken child inside where she treated his new wound.
In her lab.
"Ow." He flinched as she rubbed alchol on his stinging cheek.
"Tell me why you thought hitting the Captain was a good idea?"
"I had enough of him being mean to you. I can't stand it, I don't like it and I feel... wrong when it happens. That's why I did it."
"Armin, that's just something that always happens between him and me. It's always gonna be like that." She told him as she put the rubbing alchol away. As Armin thought about what she had just told him he recalled his actions in his head. 'Maybe I should have not hit Levi. I wish that I didn't hit him. I'll say sorry later when he comes back.' He thought as he sat in the lab, waiting until Leve came back.
