Alice's POV

Everything continued as normal the weeks after. The only differences were that Eren, Connie, Sasha and I would spend a little more time together. We would sit in mine and Sasha's room and the four of us would just talk. Sometimes Ymir and Christa joined us, sometimes Jean and Armin. Sometimes Mikasa forced herself in and the air was tense and Mikasa and I did nothing but argue until she either left with Eren, or Eren told her off.

Experiments with Hange were also more interesting. They would continuously ask me if I wanted to back out of an experiment since Eren and I were in a relationship now, but I always told them no.

The other soldiers in the corps didn't say anything about Eren and I. So everything was borderline perfect. Besides Mikasa, but that's nothing new at this point. Eren and I were sparring when Levi came out of the castle, a slightly pissed look on his face.

"What is it Levi?" I asked, kicking Eren in the back of the knee and sending him to the ground, smiling as he glared at me slightly.

"Stand the fuck up Yeager. The swine are here." I froze slightly at Levi's words and Eren was quick to get up and try to comfort me, but Levi grab him by the back of his jacket and held him back. "We can't risk them having a fit that you're in a relationship. I'm sorry Alice, but you have to show your findings with Hange."

"Why can't Hange do it themself sir?" Eren asked. Levi sighed.

"Because Alice spoke up at your last trial, and she's helped collect data on you."

"But so haven't others! It's not fair to Ali-"

"I know that Yeager!" Levi said. "I'm not fucking pleased about it either, but I can't fucking do anything. I fucking tried already." I nodded.

"Alright." I said, Eren turned to me and stepped closer.

"Alice." I smiled.

"It's my duty. I have to do it, even if it makes me uncomfortable. Besides, Hange will be there with me! They'll help me out if I need it!" And so I went and found Hange, walking faster if I caught sight of the green unicorn emblem.

"Alice!" They cried when they saw me, hugging me quickly. "You ready to report our findings so far?" I nodded as we sat at the meeting table. Erwin, Levi, and Eren came in shortly after, and then the Military Police. Hange quickly put a hand on my thigh to calm me down a little.

"So what information do we have on the shifter now?" Nile asked. My eyes narrowed slightly. He has a fucking name you prick. Hange and I relayed our findings, and that seemed to satisfy them.

"How has he been with the other recruits?" Nile asked.

"Fine." Levi said, crossing his arms. "He trains with everyone and isn't a problem."

"We mean, has he shown interest in anyone?" Nile said. I felt my stomach turn and Eren's eyes narrowed.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Hange asked.

"Because the higher ups realize that he is a teenager, and since we don't know if he could actually reproduce, they want to make sure he can't force himself on anyone." I stood at this time, glaring at Nile with so much hate I hoped he could fucking taste it.

"I'm sorry. Are you actually suggesting he would rape someone?" I asked bitterly. "You do realize this is the Survey Corps, right? It's not our thing. That's your factions stick." I spqt out. Nile stood and glared at me.

"How dare you! The Military Police has never-"

"Thompson case." I said with a bitter smile. "Now what was that you were saying? I know it wasn't that the Military Police has never been involved in something so scandalous." Nile just stared at me. "Now, you can tell your higher ups that they have nothing to worry about. The only person Eren has shown any interest in, is unable to get pregnant, courtesy of your faction. So, if this is done, I have some things I need to do. Like actually find a solution to ending the Titans and not having someone wipe my ass for me."

"Alice." Erwin said, voice stern. "That is disorderly conduct. You can not speak to a superior officer that way. Apologize to Commander Nile, and then you are dismissed." I crossed my arms and gave him a 'seriously' look.

"If I say no, will I be court martialed?" I asked. Erwin didn't say anything, but Levi sighed.

"Erwin, you know you can't make her apologize to them." Levi said.

"What are you all talking about?" Nile asked. "What does the Thompson case have to do with anything we are discussing?" I turned to him.

"Well, you asked if Eren was interested in anyone. The answer is me." I said.

"So he does have the possibility to reproduce?" Nile asked. "We can't-"

"My birth name is Alice Thompson." I interrupted. Saying my old name felt like ripping my heart out and showing it to the world. I was surprised I could say it the first time. Nile's jaw dropped. I cocked my head and gave another bitter smile. "So, there are no problems. If there is nothing else to discuss, I would like to leave. I'm sure you can understand why I don't want to be near the Military Police for too long."

"Sorry to say, but me and a few of my men are staying for a few days to see the shifters progress." I froze and Eren looked at me with sad eyes. I turned to Erwin, and he sighed, giving me a nod that, yes, it was true. I felt sick, and in a few seconds after, I was hunched over a puddle of my own vomit, and Eren was right next to me, rubbing my back as Hange was on the other side, apologizing quietly. The Military Police left then, and Levi happily shut the door behind them, turning quick on Erwin.

"Well, what the fuck do we do now?" He said. "Alice won't last with those fuckers here."

"My hands are tied." Erwin said, dry rubbing his face. "I've been trying to find out a solution since I learned they were staying."

"She can stay with me-" Hange began, but Levi quickly shot them down.

"No. You sleep in your office, and they will be in there looking through your research. And they'll want Alice there to discuss her findings again as well. Nowhere is really safe for her to stay where those fuckers-"

"Sasha and her room." Eren said. "They have no business in our personal quarters. They'll want to check mine, but they won't have a reason to go into her's. We can have a few soldiers rotate between bringing her meals and doing her chores while she's in there. We could excuse her from training and explaining her findings to them by telling them she's fallen ill. Considering she just got sick in front of them, it wouldn't be too hard to convince them."

"That's pretty good Yeager." Levi said. "I see no problems with it, do you Erwin?" Erwin shook his head. "Hange?" They shook their head too. "Good. Bring Alice to her room then."

"B-But..." I tried, but stopped when Eren gently cupped my face, he had a smile on his face.

"You did your duty. And now you need to rest. I won't let those bastards touch you." I smiled lightly. "I'll clean up here, Hange-"

"I'll take her to Levi's room to clean up and then bring her to her room and inform Sasha on what's going on." They said. Eren nodded, kissing my forehead gently.

"I probably won't be able to come see you for a few days." I frowned at his words, but nodded.

"Fine." I relented and let Hange bring me to the bath, having them steer me clear of every MP on base at the moment.

I don't know what happened, but I'm rolling with it!
