~Jean runs over to where the officers are standing. Reiner, Ymir and Krista run behind him~
Jean: Mikasa! Are you okay?!
~He looks at her on the ground, her body completely still~
Jean: Is she…?
Erwin: Her legs are broken, and she's passed out.
Krista: Oh my goodness!
Erwin: Jean and Reiner: I'm going to need your help taking her to the infirmary. Levi seems to be injured.
Levi: I just need some time to walk it off.
Erwin: Zoe, you and Levi can stay out here with Jaeger until he fully regenerates.
Zoe: Affirmative.
~Mike brings a stretcher for Mikasa, and helps put her on it. Erwin, Mike, Jean, and Reiner carry her to the infirmary. Krista and Ymir walk behind them~
Zoe: How did you hurt yourself?
Levi: It's not that bad, I just landed really hard.
Zoe: Liar. It wasn't from the experiment.
Levi: What? No, I hurt myself hitting the ground too harshly.
Zoe: No, you were limping before all this started.
Levi: ...I don't know what you're talking about I was walking fine this morning…
Zoe: If the MP find out you were performing an experiment with an injury…
Levi: I think they are going to be more concerned about the fact that Eren actually hurt someone.
Zoe: No, it wasn't his fault.
Levi: He still broke her legs.
Zoe: It was completely Mikasa's fault. We had everything under control until she showed up.
Levi: Do you think they'll reassign her?
Zoe: Hell, if we want we can get her thrown out of the military altogether. She attacked you. She was actively trying to kill you.
Levi: She couldn't have killed me on her best day. I was injured and could still evade her. I didn't even draw my blades once.
Zoe: It doesn't matter whether she could or could have: she still tried. She can't stay here. She's too violent.
Eren: Shut… up.
Zoe: You're awake?!
Eren: Are my legs back?
Levi: Yes, but you can't stand yet.
Eren: I don't care. Stand me up.
~Eren tries to get up, but Levi pulls him back down~
Levi: Dammit, Eren! I just said you aren't able to stand yet.
~Eren looks at Levi with angry tears in his eyes~
Eren: Let me go!
~Shocked, Levi lets go of Eren and lets him get up. He takes a step and nearly falls. He straightens himself up and keeps walking~
~~~In the infirmary with Erwin, Mike, Jean, and Reiner while Ymir and Krista wait outside~~~
Erwin: Thank you for your help carrying her here, but we need to set her leg. I'd appreciate it if you would all leave and let us handle this.
Jean: But, Commander Erwin I-
~Erwin and Mike ignore Jean and the others and place a belt in Mikasa's mouth~
Jean: What are you doing?
Reiner: Jean I really think we should leave… It's about to get ugly.
~Erwin gets a metal rod and places it next to Mikasa's leg~
Jean: Wait, Erwin!
~Reiner grabs Jean and carries him out of the room. He closes the door behind them just as Mikasa's screams begin to pierce the air~
Jean: Mikasa!
Reiner: She'll be fine, Jean, they just need to do this…
Krista: What are they doing?! She sounds awful!
Ymir: They have to put her bones back in place…
Reiner: Well I don't want to stand here and listen to this. Let's go.
~Mikasa screams for several minutes before going silent, presumably because she passed out. Reiner and the others had left, but Jean stayed behind. Eren steps into the hallway, his arms still barely regenerating and continuously giving off steam~
"Eren?"
"Hey Jean… Is she… is she okay?"
"No! Her legs are broken! All thanks to your ass."
"Is she conscious?"
"No."
"Can I see her?"
"Are you kidding me? You're the one who broke her legs in the first place and now you want to see her? What makes you think she wants to see you?"
"I just need to talk to her! I need to know what happened"
"You want to know what happened?! Maybe if she didn't love you so damn much, she would be okay right now! She saw them torturing your titan in the experiment and she got stupid and let you loose! You grabbed her, Eren. You would have killed her if Levi, Erwin, and Zoe weren't there. And this isn't the first time your titan form tried to kill her, am I right? Back in Trost, you swatted at her!"
"That was different!"
"No, it wasn't! Because she loves you, she tries to stay near you and she always gets in the way. Now she's hurt. How long is it going to be before you actually kill her?!"
"Her being stupid isn't my fault!"
"Yes it is because you know that you don't love her the same way she loves you and yet you still let her try to follow you around all the time!"
"What did you say?"
"She keeps doing all these things for you but you don't even care!"
"I do care!"
"Oh really?"
"I do care about her! She's the last bit of family I have left!"
"You see?! You think of her as family! You don't love her the same way she loves you."
"I-"
"If you love her, why haven't you been intimate with her yet?"
"Who told you that?"
"She talked to me. She told me all about how you've been making excuses. You know what I think? I think either you're stupid or you're screwing around with someone else!"
"That's none of your business!"
"It is my business because you are going to break her heart if you keep on doing what you're doing! Are you screwing around with someone else?"
"I'm not going to let you push-
"Just answer the fucking question! Are you or are you not cheating on Mikasa?"
~Eren looks down so Jean can't see his face~
"Eren. Are you being unfaithful?"
"…I am."
"You fucking bastard."
"Look… I didn't mean for it to happen, I-
"Why don't you do her a favor and walk out of her life before you ruin it anymore than you already have?"
"I want to at least talk to her first."
"Get out of here."
~Eren leaves without another word. Jean stands there in the hallway alone, shocked that Eren just admitted he was cheating on Mikasa. Armin comes running down the hallway~
"Jean!"
"Armin?"
"I heard what happened from Krista. Is she awake?"
"No, not yet…"
~Just then, Erwin opens the door, covered in splats of blood. Armin and Jean look at the blood splatters with wide eyes and then look at Erwin's face~
Erwin: …It took a little while, but we were able to save both of her legs.
Jean: She was going to lose one?!
Erwin: Well, one was broken, it was easy to set, but the other one was barely hanging on for a while there.
Armin: Oh my god!
Erwin: It's okay, though, she'll be able to walk after they heal. It's just going to take a lot of time.
Jean: Can I see her?
Mike (from Mikasa's bedside): She's not awake. We gave her something for her pain. She won't be awake for a few hours.
Jean: Can I just sit with her?
Mike: Sure.
~Jean rushes to Mikasa's side. Mike takes a quick sniff of Jean and Armin before leaving the room~
~~~Eren is in his room, sitting at his desk with his forehead in his hands~~~
What the fuck have I been doing? (You were having fun) But I used Mikasa. (You can't let them know about you and Levi. She was going to find you out. So you lied to her. You made it seem like everything between you and Levi was normal. Now, nobody is going to know. So, win) I didn't even think about Mikasa's feelings… (It was worth it) Was it? Was it worth it to break her heart just to be Levi's little sex toy or whatever? It's not even a real relationship and I lead her on for it! (You are more than that to Levi, I'm sure) How can you be sure? (He lets you call him Levi) What if that means nothing? (Why does it have to mean something?) Because I like him!
"Eren."
~Eren turns around. Levi is sitting on his bed~
"Why are you crying, Eren?"
"I've done something really bad."
"Yeah. You did, but it wasn't your fault."
"No… I mean… I lead Mikasa to believe that I felt for her the same way she feels for me, but... I don't love her like that."
"Oh."
"I just… she was going to find out about what we were doing and I came up with excuses and then the next thing I knew she was kissing me and I just went with it because… I don't know! I thought I liked her but I don't. Levi… I don't want her… I… I want you."
"Eren… I don't think-"
"No! You stop whatever you were about to say and you tell me right now if you want me just for sex or you really like me!"
"Eren."
~Levi stands up and walks over to Eren, kneels on the ground and looks at him in the eye~
"Eren, I tried to tell you this last night but I was too drunk to say what I really meant… When I'm with you, I forget about all the shit in my life that brings me down. It just melts away. I keep trying to tell myself not to get attached emotionally to you, but I can't spend this life that may end at any moment lying to myself. Yes, I really do like you Eren. Of course, I love tearing you up, but you mean more to me than just that. You're mine."
"That's what you were trying to say to me last night?"
"I was really drunk."
"So then, you and I are…?"
"You're mine."
~Eren grabs Levi's face and leans forward to kiss him. Levi kisses back with force~
"Eren…"
"Levi…"
"What is it?"
"I saw… something."
"What is it you saw?"
"Your… closet."
"My closet?"
"Well… the room behind it…"
"Oh. OH. Um…"
~Levi blushes and looks away from Eren~
"I was going to show you that later, but I didn't want it to scare you…"
"Yeah it was pretty scary, but…"
~Eren takes hold of Levi's chin and turns it back to look at him~
"…It looked like a lot of fun."
~Intrigued, Levi stands up and extends his hand to help Eren up. Eren takes Levi's hand and as he gets up, Levi pulls him in close~
"If that's your idea of fun, you really are a masochist."
"Let's go… I want to see what you're capable of."
"Are you challenging me, boy?"
"I guess I am."
"Challenge accepted. Your ass is mine."
