By the time that the nurse, Sophie, had come to check on them for about the third time the group had a plan. Even the nurse was in on it, her and some of the other nurses Eren had that weren't on what had been dubbed 'team inferno' had joined 'team rainbow' and had even added to some of their plans. They had excitedly added plans, Armin keeping record of every idea presented and writing all the little details down. The majority of the afternoon was filled with them giggling and manically planning revenge on team inferno. Somehow Levi had not woken up yet and was still passed out on Eren's bed, but the nurses were all glad to see him sleeping so he let it be.
It was around noon and all of his friends had gone to get lunch after Eren had insisted they get some decent food for once. It was quiet in the room, something that Eren was surprisingly grateful for after all the excited commotion that had been giving the room life the whole morning.
"He's finally sleeping, good"
Eren's head snapped up at the voice to see that Sophie had entered the room, he hadn't even heard her come in. He nodded and glanced down at Levi's sleeping form.
"Yeah, I didn't think he would be this tired." He said softly
She looked at him and smiled softly. "Oh sweety, that boy hasn't slept since you got in here, he's been watching you and snapping at that doctor." Her face scrunched up at the mention of the hated doctor. "I'm pretty happy someone is doing it, it needed to be done, that doctor is a cocky asshole sometimes" She said smirking.
Eren laughed "Everyone seems to hate him. I don't blame them, but how does he still work here?" He questioned.
Sophie shook her head "He's a brilliant doctor, he has lots of people who follow him and ignore his assholeish attitude because of that. He doesn't use teamwork very well though and is extremely closed minded, but his excellence outweighs his faults and we need a doctor like that here." She explained.
"Brilliant or not he's still a fucking asshole."
Eren and Sophie both turned to the source of the comment to see Levi leaning on his propped up hand and staring at them bordley. His hair was slightly messed up, his eyes conveying how tired he was, his mouth turned down to it's usual scowl. "Oh, you're up!" Eren exclaimed smiling at him.
Levi nodded, yawning and stretching, it was obvious he was still tired by his movements. "No shit, why didn't anyone wake me up earlier?" He asked annoyed.
Sophie crossed her arms and glared at him "Because you needed sleep mister." She said
Levi mirrored her glare "I had a bit of sleep I asked you guys to wake me up hours ago." He retorted.
Sophie scoffed "How would Claire feel about you not sleeping Levi? And don't think I won't tell her."
Levis glare hardened "You wouldn't."
Sophie smirked "Oh I would, Claire told me to tell her everything. She's just as worried about you as she is about Eren." She scolded. "Now I have to make my rounds, and you better be well rested by tomorrow or I'll tell her Levi" She threatened before smiling sweetly at them and prancing out the door "Bye boys, I'll see you in an hour." She called before disappearing down the hall.
Levi sighed "She's so full of energy I'm surprised she doesn't puke rainbows and glitter." He commented.
Eren turned to look at him and laughed. "You're only saying that because she is gonna tell on you" He teased poking at Levi's side.
Levi scoffed and swatted his hands away "Don't think because you're in a hospital I won't get you Jaeger." He said darkly.
Eren feigned hurt "You mean you would attack your poor sickly boyfriend who could possibly kick it any day?" He cried dramatically
Levi's face instantly hardened at the remarks. He leaned in to Eren "You kick it Jaeger and I'll kick you so hard you'll hurt for a million afterlives after." He growled.
Eren's face softened. "Levi." He said softly, putting a hand to his cheek. "I'm not gonna kick it, I swear on my heart." He said giving a mock salute.
That instant there was a commotion of clamoring noises and loud talking outside and Eren braced himself for the energy boost that was his friends.
"Preacher alert!" Was the first thing shouted when the door opened.
Eren glanced curiously at Levi and mouthed 'what?' and Levi just shook his head in a 'I'll tell you later' answer.
"Have you accepted Jesus as your lord and savior?" Connie exclaimed "Hey Marco I thought you Catholics left that to the Mormons."
Marco rolled his eyes and pulled Jean into his lap. "You really just went there Connie?" He asked annoyed.
Connie winced "Sorry dude." He muttered apologetically.
Sasha looked around the room nervously before jumping in. "I don't think Connie meant it Marco, I think we all just need out of these cramped spaces. Tomorrow we go to school!" She exclaimed in what Eren assumed was an attempt to lighten the mood.
"You guys can go to school, I'm staying here." Levi stated.
Mikasa shook her head "No you're not, Claire is watching Eren and we're all going to school. Suck it up and no bitching or I'm guessing she'll kick your ass.
Eren saw Levi recoil slightly before bouncing back and glaring at Mikasa "Since when do you talk to Claire?" He challenged
"Since you were sleeping and she recognised me as the responsible older sister of Eren" She responded.
"Hey! You're a minute older. One minute!" Eren exclaimed "Responsible older sister my ass" He muttered.
Mikasa poked Eren "I'm still older and I am responsible. Who do you think is keeping track of all the medical information and looking things up." She said
"Actually I'm doing all of the medical research" Armin inputted. "Just saying" He added, holding up his hands in defence after the look Mikasa gave him.
Eren looked around the room at his friends. All of them looked exhausted and a little annoyed, but seemed to be putting on a good face for Eren. Annie suddenly stood "Do you think him being sick could be in relation to having been a shifter?" She asked.
The whole room went silent. That was something none of them seemed to have even considered. Eren looked around, everyone seemed lost in thought. What if it had to do with him being a shifter? What would he do then? Would they even be able to fix it, what even was it? Would Annie, Yimr, Reiner, and Bert be affected too? Would everyone end up like him then, in the hospital unable to be fixed because it was something strange and never heard of. Levi must have seen the worry on Erens face because he broke the silence. "If it were because he was a shifter then why aren't the others affected?" He proposed.
"Well, it's a possibility. For all we know all the other previous shifters have been affected and it is just dormant in their system at the moment. There are endless possibilities if we take the fact Eren was a shifter into consideration." Armin stated. To Eren it looked like he was just rambling out his thoughts, his friend tended to think out loud and it never ceased to shock him with how intelligent Armin was.
"So what? We go up to the doctor and be like 'Hey doc, I know this may sound cry, but before this life Eren and a couple of our other friends turned into these giant things called titans and they are probably being affected by that look for weird dna thingies' It doesn't make sense." Jean exclaimed. "We can't do anything for them if that's the case! No one would believe us, we'd all be sent to the psych ward and Eren could die, or get worse. We seriously have nothing to do if Eren's affected by that."
The room went silent and everyone turned to Jean. He had a point, a very disturbing point that hit home with Eren. If it was affected by him being a titan shifter these doctors could do nothing for him. They would lock them all up and call them crazy if they said their concerns to anyone outside of this room. Eren could get stuck with something that could be incurable, it could kill him. He thought back to the promise he made to Levi, what if he couldn't survive this.. this thing, whatever it is.
"Jean, please calm down. We'll figure this out." Marco said quietly, rubbing Jeans back.
Jean nodded slowly and buried his head in Marcos chest. Everyone looked around in shock, it was strange to see Jean emotionally weak like this.
"We're all obviously really stressed." Christa said softly "Why don't we just try and relax?" She suggested.
Yimr grinned and pulled Christa in for a hug "That's my Christa, we can play stupid pranks and bother that dumb doctor and his minions." She added smirking.
Levi rolled his eyes "When you guys get kicked out I'm going to laugh so hard. You know your stupid pranks always get you in huge trouble. Always have, always will." He said smugly.
"We must defend the honor of team unicorn and it's followers from the evil team inferno at all costs!" Connie shouted, jumping on a table.
"Connie get off the table" Mikasa said.
"Never! I will get our hopes up, for we are the mighty team rainbow and shall destroy the evil overlords of darkness!" He exclaimed
"Dude are you high?" Jean asked
"Do you mean to ask if I have puffed the magic stick of happyness?" Connie asked
"Yeah he's high" Marco answered
"He's not high guys, he just had an energy drink...or two." Sasha said.
"Worry naught friends, for I have many-a plan to overcome team inferno and be victorious!" Connie exclaimed walking across the table.
At that moment the door opened and in walked the church priest, followed by the head doctor. Everyone froze and stared at them. "Aha! SO the daring team in-" Connie started before Mikasa hit his stomach and pulled him off the table.
"Ahem. Hello everyone." The doctor started.
This was going to be one hell of a visit, Eren could tell.
Okay so Yes I am alive hello, and I want to give my deepest apologizes for not updating. I was swamped with school stuff and life became really shitty and stressful for a while, plus the adjustment period for school took longer than I had expected, plus I had to drop a class but I am back and so very sorry. I have gotten some really positive messages from some of you and I really wanted to thank you for those, they really add to my life and give me that extra bump I need in life to do this, sometimes it's just that extra motivation of 'Okay I can't let these people down they said such nice things I don't want to disappoint these lovely people.' that and my girlfriend kept bugging me about updating shhhhh SO I am so so so so so sorry for the EXTREMELY late update... feel free to kill me and burn me at the stake if you must. Anywho I wanted to say hello again, my schedule should be fixed after this and I am hopefully, cross your fingers toes and anything else, going to have a constant schedule for you guys.
