Evening

There had been a strange quiet hanging over the barracks. Conversations over dinner had been muted and there had been a lot of whispered conversations about why Eren had been put into isolation. Mikasa sat at a table with Armin, silently fuming. She wanted to yell at them, tell them it was none of their business and that Eren had not meant to hurt Hange but Armin had shaken his head. Losing her temper would not help anyone.

Levi had not appeared and Erwin was sitting with Mike, quietly talking. It was a weird atmosphere in a place where people were usually drinking and laughing. The scouts were always loud, it was a coping mechanism for the horrors they faced on a daily basis but tonight, there was only quiet.

In the infirmary, Moblit sat next the Hange's bed. Someone had brought him food earlier but he had no idea who it was. His focus was entirely on his beloved Squadron Leader. People made jokes about him behind his back, he knew, calling him Hange's little lapdog but he was not bothered. Working for Hange made life bearable and he was worried sick she could not pull through. Eren had a lot to answer for.

On the wall, Levi was still sitting staring out over the expanse of open ground wondering how the hell he had ended up in the middle of this mess. He had been flattered over the attention Eren had shown him and he had even felt like it was something that he would be open to but he tried to kill Hange. Levi huffed and shook his head. Hange, who was always a huge pain in his ass but would always be the one standing back to back with him, sword drawn when the shit hit the fan. He could not imagine his life without her. This mess would have to be sorted out and he had a feeling that it would not be a nice clean ending.

Eren lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling. He had been alone since he left Erwin's office and he did not think that was a good sign. His only consolation was that he was not in a cell right now but that could change. He also hoped that it meant that Hange was still alive. He did not want to kill her. He had been mad that she had seen into him and warned him off Levi, but he could understand it. They had known each other for years and she obviously had strong feelings for Levi. He wondered if Levi now knew what had happened and how angry he was right now. Eren knew from experience how powerful Levi was as a soldier and he really did not want to get on his bad side. For a second, he thought, oh hell, what if he loves Hange and I killed her? Eren groaned and rolled over to face the wall. He hoped soon someone would come and tell him what was going on.

A few hours later, Moblit was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed when he heard Hange say his name, her voice weak. He opened his eyes quickly.

"Squad Leader, you're awake! I was so worried about you!" he said

Hange managed a quiet chuckle, "You going soft on me Moblit? Takes more than a tree to finish me off!" She winced as the slight movement made her head hurt.

"I need to go tell Erwin you are awake; will you be ok for a few minutes? Moblit asked.

"I'm sure I will. It is not like I am going anywhere!"

A few minutes later, heads were lifted as Moblit barrelled into the mess room and headed straight to Erwin. Erwin listened and then nodded at Mike and stood up before hurriedly leaving the room with Moblit. Mikasa watched them and looked over at Armin.

"Well that either means Hange has woken up or she is dead!" she muttered.

"I am sure it means she is awake, Hange is tough," Armin said, trying to be positive.

"Let's hope so," Mikasa replied, "If not Eren is going to be seen as a murderer"

Armin looked towards the door; he had not thought about it like that. He really hoped it meant Hange was alive, not just for Eren but because he liked Hange. She treated him well and listened to his ideas. However, he knew that even if she was awake Eren was still going to be in trouble as he had attacked a superior. There was no way that this was going to end entirely well for him.

Hange

Erwin walked into the infirmary just as Hange was trying to pull herself up into a sitting position. Judging by the amount of swear words coming from her mouth, moving was painful! Erwin walked over and stood by the bed.

"You need a hand Hange?" he asked

"No, I bloody well don't" she snapped back still struggling.

Erwin stood and watched until she managed to get to something that resembled a sitting position before he sat down next to the bed.

"How are you feeling," he asked.

"Like I have been hit by a titan!" she replied, "What the hell was Eren thinking, he could have killed me! I am gonna kick his ass for this! Where is Levi?"

Erwin laughed "One thing at a time! Eren is in isolation until we figure out what to do and Levi is off somewhere brooding and thinking. He has a lot to get his head around. He just found out one of his team and his friend both have feelings for him"

Hange was looking for her glasses, which Moblit handed to her "What the hell? You told him I had feelings for him! That was a secret!"

"A secret that everyone knew," Moblit mumbled under his breath.

Hange's head spun in his direction, "What?"

"Nothing," Moblit muttered looking down.

Erwin smiled slightly because he did not think Moblit's feelings for Hange were totally platonic.

"Anyway, we need to sort this out. I can't have the two of you beating each other to death over Levi!" Erwin said.

Hange stared at him, "I didn't do anything to him! He tried to kill me with ... with a tree!"

"I am going to go and speak to him but I wanted to make sure you were alive before I did!" Erwin said.

"Pfft takes more than being slammed against a damn tree to take me out," Hange laughed. "If you see Levi, tell him to come see me. I need to try and sort things with him"

"I will, but you need to rest. You took a hell of a knock against that tree."

Erwin stood up and walked out, heading to see Eren. He still had no idea what he was going to do. This could get worse if Eren lost control again whilst in titan form and they needed to be able to reply on him. He sighed; this was not what he needed right now. A love sick titan!

Eren

Eren was still laying facing the wall when Erwin walked him. He rolled over and seeing Erwin; jumped to his feet.

"Sir, how is Hange?" he asked.

"Luckily for you, she woke up about 20 minutes ago. Not so luckily for you, she is pissed!" Erwin said

Eren nodded, "I know Sir, I totally deserve anything that is coming to me. I did not mean to hurt her. It just ... happened."

"This is a problem Eren," Erwin said. "If you have feelings for Levi and Hange does too then the rivalry could lead to this happening again. You lost control in titan form; it is a serious problem."

Eren looked down, "I know. Will Hange be ok?"

"She will, with rest but I would suggest you stay out of her way for a while. We need to work on a resolution for this and the only one who can sort things is Levi but he is away somewhere working on his head. Until I have spoken to him again, you are free to go to the mess hall to eat but you stay away from Hange. I would probably recommend staying away from her squad as well, especially Moblit!"

Eren nodded, "Thank you Sir, I will stay near Armin and Mikasa."

"Good plan, now go get some food and keep your head down whilst I go find Levi."

Erwin nodded one last time and went in search of the person who was in the middle of it all.
