Alice's POV

The next few weeks went... alright, I guess you could say. I wasn't awkward now that I knew what the feelings I had were. I went back to normal. It was Hange, Erwin, and Levi always keeping a close eye on us. Well, closer on Eren. It was a little weird and the others noticed.

"You ever notice how much more attentive our superiors seem to be?" Connie asked during down time. "It's like they think Eren's gonna just turn on them." That, of course, brought forth Mikasa's response.

"That midget already beat Eren bloody. And now he doesn't trust him?"

"It's not that Ackerman." I growled out.

"Yeah, Squad Leader Hange and Commander Erwin have been keeping a closer eye on Eren as well." Armin said.

"Hange I understand. They're probably thinking of all the experiments to perform on Yeager." Jean said.

"Then why would Commander Erwin?" Sasha asked as she stuffed her face with some bread she snuck from the kitchen, with my help of course. Eren looked bummed out at the thought.

"Did what happen inside Wall Sina make them lose faith and trust in me?" Eren asked. I frowned and stood.

"No. That's not it. They're being stupid." I said as my eyes flashed to the side to see Hange and Levi were watching. I turned. "Fuck off!" I barked, making everyone else flinch because they obviously hadn't noticed them.

"B-But-" Hange started. Levi just came closer.

"I'm in charge of Yeager. I need to keep a close eye on him." He said. I crossed my arms and narrowed my eyes.

"Yes, but does that mean you have to be watching him every fucking second? No. Sorry to say it doesn't. And unless you're going to drop down to also tuck him in bed at night, stop. Ackerman's way ahead of you with that anyways."

"Mikasa doesn't-" I held my hand up to silence Eren.

"Not the point Eren. Now Levi, if there's a problem with Eren, I promise you'll be the first to know. And Hange!" I yelled back to my sibling. "You can drool over planning experiments in your lab." I pulled one of my notebooks from my jacket and handed it to Levi. "Give these to Hange. They're possible experiments and hypothesis on Eren. And tell Erwin to back off too. He has better things to do then watch Eren, since that is technically your job anyways."

"Which is exactly why-" I leaned forward to whisper in Levi's ear.

"If he hurts me, you'll be the first to know. I can take care of myself, I'm a soldier." Levi clicked his tongue.

"Whatever brat." And he walked away, dragging Hange with him. I just popped my hip and waited a few minutes after they turned a corner, just to see Hange's head poke back out. I tapped my foot a few times.

"Hange! You have experiments to approve. One of them has to do with Eren's regenerative abilities that could potentially be used to make vaccines and on site medical applications." And they were gone.

"Well then." Ymir said. "If you can order them around like that, why aren't you the Commander?" I laughed.

"Are you nuts? That'd be awful. And they're only listening because they know they're being ridiculous anyways." I sat back down.

"I want to know why they're watching Eren so closely." Mikasa said, crossing her arms and adjusting her scarf.

"Too bad Ackerman. You won't find out for a while, if ever." I said.

"Do you know why?" Christa asked. I sighed and rubbed my temples.

"Unfortunately."

"Why?" Mikasa said, glaring at me dangerously. I smirked.

"None of your business Ackerman."

"If it involves Eren, I deserve to know." She shot back.

"No, actually, you don't. As far as the military is concerned, you aren't authorized to be given some information because of your rank. The only reason I do is because I found some of that information out. And I'll repeat myself, the situation in which our superiors are responding to is absolute none of your business. It's not even Eren's business to know." I snap.

"If it involves me, shouldn't I know?" Eren asks. I shrug.

"I am also not in the position of authority to share said information. I can't help you."

"But Eren at least-"

"No Ackerman. Even if I wanted to share any information, I legally can't. We could all be discharged. And I don't know about you, but Eren would be fucking devastated to be forced out of the Survey Corps, especially since that means the Military Police would get him. And I know for hell you would hate that." I say. I'm getting sick of this conversation.

"Is the reason that the others are keeping a close eye on Eren serious?" Connie asks. I shake my head.

"No, it's nothing horrible or bad or anything. To be truthful, the reason they're acting like this is because of some information I told them. And it was completely harmless. I apologize Eren. If I had known they'd act like this, I wouldn't have said anything."

"So what did you tell them?" Mikasa pushed. I just stood with a wide smirk.

"None of your business. Now let's go. We just wasted our break interrogating me. It's time to get back to training." And at the moment, the bell went off saying that down time was over.
