Humanities Strongest Soldier
The sun have barely risen until the door to the recruit's room, with Alan, Jean, Connie, Reiner and Bertholdt are sleeping in, sprung open, with a senior scout member bargaining in, startling the recruits from their slumber
"RISE AND SHINE" The scout member bellowed "Up you get cupcakes, we have a month to get you prepared for the big day of the remainder of your lives" his sense of humour needs some work especially the words Jean spoke yesterday.
Grunting, Alan lifted himself from the bottom bunk, blinking to see the sun barely rising, even the cadets get more shut eye than this.
Sensing the ire from the cadets "You're not cadets anymore, the survey corps need to be prepared for anything, titans won't wait for you to get out of bed or fuck about" hinting towards Garrus being caught by Captain Levi.
Watching the group get into their uniforms preparing for the start of their crucial training, the senior member amused "Right, the horse face, the lanky boy, the little chihuahua and the Ox, you guys be coming with me, see what you have learnt with your ODM's"
Connie, confused by this "Why? Most of us are in the top ten" receiving a sceptical look.
"I'm sorry chihuahua, I'm sure the titans will let you kill them easily because you're in the top ten" The sarcasm oozing in his words "Shut the fuck up and do as your ordered" the group, taken aback from the vulgarity, Shadis wasn't this bad, but then again they are in the group of veteran titan killers.
Marching out the senior held his hand up to Alan "You on the other hand, wait in the courtyard, Captain Levi, have requested, for you don't know why, he just said, he fetch someone to get you" saying that, he up and left taking the others, Reiner's concerned look over his shoulder towards Alan as he watched his brother standing in the courtyard on his own.
"Will he be ok?" Bertholdt whispered, Alan always stuck to them, but to have one of the dangerous men requesting him, sounds pretty serious.
"He be ok Bertholdt, he always been able to take of himself" Reiner simply stated "We just do what we are told, and everything will be fine" saying this, remembering about Mikasa and their next big step, Reiner is not too entirely sure now.
Waiting is not Alan's favourite past time, unless he's the one who decides to wait, chuckling to the memory back to the big teamwork exercise in their training, how he would just sit on a rock, making the others wait, while he gets information and planning, a lot of planning running through his head, but now, he's just being told to wait for the bigshot captain.
Catching his notice a petite red headed woman strolled up to him, with a smile on her face, Alan raising his eyebrow in question, 'is she the senior member coming to collect him?' before he could question, the scout in question took her hand out, offering a form of respect.
"Petra Raal" the scout just blurted out, a smile still on her face.
Alan raising his eye took her hand and shook it "Alan Braun" the reply coming easily off his lips, not taking her eyes off her, pretty young woman, Mikasa would surely coming hounding onto her just for the physical contact alone. Instinctively looking around just in case, knowing that woman, she be sensing it right now and soon come running to protect what's hers.
"Don't worry I don't bite" Petra joked "What are you looking out for anyways?" her eyes scanning, following his line of sight. Amusing at the man, pretty cute though.
"Death" Alan spoke, his face stoic, now the guy is not so cute before Petra eyes widened but relaxed when his grin formed "Poor joke, let's say I'm with someone who tends to be protective" rubbing the back of his head.
Petra giving a small chuckle of her own "A couple huh? That's pretty rare in the scouts, since you know the mortality rate being pretty high" bit of doom and gloom but Petra was relieved to see the guy laughing at her statement.
"Yeah, but I have no intentions to die, not now or ever and I if I were to go I die knowing I made someone happy in that time" Alan stated, his eye cocking at Petra's surprised look "What is so surprising?"
"That's an interesting way of looking at it, usually we look to see if our lives are meant sacrificing for the better of humanity, yet yours is just simple, kind of cute" giggling at his reddened expression, looking to the sun in the sky "I've wasted enough time, you be coming with me to the Levi squad, the Captain asked for you for some reason and he hates waiting" Petra announced waving for him to follow.
Heading out of the gates, two horses are tied to the posts, apparently where they are operating is far, Alan would think where they stationed at the old fort that the recruits now reside in.
"Why are we heading out, if back there the scouts HQ?" Alan inquired as they rode out, following Petra's lead.
"We heading out to section commander Hange's site, she more eager to test experiments on your friend" Petra replied, seeing his curiosity piqued "You find out more when we get there" closing the subject, Petra doesn't normally know the specifics herself when it concerns Eren, just stand guard and be prepared for anything.
"Don't know why I be needed but ok, I just go with it" Alan shrugged, Petra laughing at the statement.
"That's how it is usually is when it concerns Section Commander Hange" Petra laughed, whatever Hange does, they have to make sure she doesn't go overboard with her excitement.
The ride was short, idle chatter between the two, until they come across Levi and the squad, Eren amongst them, with Hange drooling over him.
"OI, four eyes, stop drooling over him, we get to your next experiment once Petra brings the other brat" Levi spoke up, turning his gaze to the new arrivals as they unsaddled from their horse. "Speaking of which, took you long enough to get here, did you take a shit along the way?" Levi spoke, his tone authoritative, unimpressed.
"Yes Captain" Petra quickly said, causing Alan to raise his eye in question, but said nothing as if Petra's eyes is saying not to say anything and just agree.
Levi looking between he two before looking back to Hange "Hope you cleaned your hands" he blurted out.
Alan remained silent, unsure what to say but his gaze fixed on the captain, something is telling him he is extremely dangerous and not to be messed with.
"So here's the plan we can see how good Eren can control his transformation, No full body titan, just that arm transformation you did a few days back" Hange spoke, turning to Levi "Since you be taking on the new guy, your squad just to need to be on the ready in case something goes wrong" Levi only nodded.
"You heard her, be on the ready, Eld you're in charge, Brat with me." Levi ordered as he walked off, prompting Alan to follow his lead.
All Alan can think of at the moment is why is he requested by this guy, when he can train, learnt he formation that is needed for the expedition, yet he's following this guy.
Sensing Alan's gaze Levi, stopped walking, tilting his head just so he has an eye on him. Until Alan, got close enough, without warning, Levi swung his legs to his stomach, causing Alan, to narrowly dodge his foot before it connected to his stomach.
"Huh, good reaction from surprise attack, not quick enough though" Levi spoke, seeing Alan's face stoic yet the eyes narrowing before Alan can react, Levi swung his fist again to the stomach, winding the taller guy.
Holy Shit that hurts Alan, grunted from the impact, he thought Mikasa's was painful this guy's makes her fists look like a love tap, forcing through the daze ducking underneath the kick launching to his face, rolling away from a stomp as his foot moved to the ground.
"Not bad" Levi have to admit the kid got some guts and control, even throwing his punch in the kid still manage to avoid further attacks.
"You want to dance, shrimp, let's dance" Alan growled, Levi raised his eye at the insult, before side stepping a lunge from Alan as he attempted to pin him down. Alan launched his leg backwards to the shrimp's direction surprising the man with an unexpected attack, narrowly missing him.
Levi noticing how Alan quickly regained his focus and his face like stone, avoiding strikes, noting how his aim were precise, now Levi is on the defensive and judging from the kid, height difference means nothing, this would be interesting. Swinging his own leg Alan blocked his body with his arm, before forcing Levi to back away as his other arm swung to grab it, the kids can hold his own, yet something is still not right with this kid, kid is holding back on him, why? He isn't too sure.
"Ok that is enough" Levi said aloud, forcing Alan to stop his next attack, his eyes fixed on him, not as scary as the other one but Levi won't admit that aloud. "You got guts kid, usually people won't be able to handle me, but you did good enough." To other people that would be the greatest compliment Levi can give.
"So, you're just testing me?" Alan spoke his features relaxed yet his body still on guard, Levi quite impressed that he still isn't let his guard down, that's good if he were to survive the titans.
"Yeah, Commander Erwin wanted me to test you in some way, the fighting was just to see how good your awareness and reactions" Levi stoically stated "You passed that part" before motioning to the ODM gear nearby "You practice at night during training? Let's see how good you are"
Alan couldn't read the captain at all, his moves sporadic and Alan knows the captain didn't give it his all, the greatest soldier has years of experience on him, he hate to be his enemy, amused at the thought. To say his expectations of humanities greatest soldier is surprising at the least, the way recruits admire him to be this charismatic badass, turns out to be a rude short man with a serious OCD for cleanliness, maybe his destiny is to rid the world full of germs. Chuckling to his own little joke.
"What's so funny?" the subject of his humour piped up "I'm not waiting all day for you to get your gear on, nor am I holding your hand either" his face stoic but his grey eyes shown some irritation.
Not wasting time, Alan's have his gear in place, awaiting further orders. "Just go in there and do what you normally do" Levi simply stated pointed towards the woods nearby, Alan blinked once or twice at his order, he wants to go in the woods with the area not as big as the one he used to go around in his trainees years. "What you waiting for Brat? Show me what you got" Levi was more direct with his irritation as he watched Alan launch into the air disappearing into the woods.
Alan lazily, flying from tree to tree, pondering on this exercise, using momentum to conserve gas, scanning his eyes to notice that the shrimp is not following him, nor is he in sight, landing on one tree, he breathed and listened, allowing his own senses to reach out, it was quiet, too quiet for his liking.
Sudden movement from above cause Alan to leap from his direction as Levi swooped down upon him, attempting to knock him in mid-air, soon disappearing, Alan gave chase, trying to read the captain, zooming round, double backing, Levi pounced from his left, causing Alan to release his hooks allowing to drop, narrowly being collided, rolling in mid air to avoid his hook launched at him. 'What the fuck is that crazy bastard doing' Alan eyes widened in shock as he dodges attack from Levi's movements, unable to keep track, this guy is freaking monster with his ODM, Alan thought he was good but he's just mediocre compared to the living Legend, understanding why he's considered Humanities strongest.
Alan changed tactics to defensive since trying to gain on him is no use, swerving around allowing his body to direct the movements, willing himself freely. Dodging Levi attacks with ease in the air, Alan understood that he has to escape or hold out long enough until the captain is satisfied with their little exercise. Feeling his breath staggering Alan only choice is to go higher, through the trees if he has to. Moving sporadically, as Levi's attack lessened, as if now observing his talents, Alan pushed himself through the tree top flying above out of Levi's view.
Levi is impressed, very impressed, the kid launched himself out through the top, good tactic of evasion and since he has control of his movements he could land anywhere and Levi himself wouldn't know, leaving himself at a disadvantage, deciding it's enough is enough, Levi whistled signalling the test is over, hopefully the kid would understand that, Alan's smart, be amusing if he still hiding amongst the tree's being on constant guard. Levi decided to head back to the others, not interested in waiting.
Exiting the woods, hearing a thud behind Levi indicated that Alan decided it wasn't a trap turned to the slightly tired man, Alan's posture gave it away how it was slouched slightly, yet still have a lot of energy to spare, Levi must have put him through his paces. Still it's good he can avoid his attacks.
Alan raising his eyes in question "Mind telling me the point of that exercise?" causing Levi to huff in amusement at such a question.
"Seeing how you react and how quickly you can move, I read the report about Trost on how you took on a group of titans, coming out from the inside of one's nape. Gutsy but stupid, plus you avoided a group of titans attacks." Levi spoke, his tone of a matter of fact "Plus how you baited another group of titans without killing, that takes some skill without getting killed"
"So, you just want to see how I cope with constant onslaughts from you?" Alan deduced, apparently the Captain planned this from what he read, Levi only witnessed his leadership in Trost and one on one fights with a titan.
"You passed that test, those attacks are supposed to resemble to be multiple arms, teeth or any disgusting part of those monsters" a slimmer of humour cross Levi's eyes "Although the non-abnormal titans are a lot slower" before walking off, leaving Alan to his thoughts, 'yeah the scouts really need to work on their sense of humour'.
That guy is a lot more than what he appears, Alan thought, following back to Eren in an arm transformation. Hange being excited as she touch the burning flesh.
"See if you can move it Eren" Hange getting more excited at the prospect of Eren moving a titan hand.
"Section Commander, don't get too close" One by the name of Moblit, poor guy looks like a nervous wreck when around his superior, Alan felt for the poor guy having an erratic boss to follow around, especially one that seem she would fuck a titan seeing she's practically close enough to hug it, damn Garrus is influencing him, apparently he had to clean the whole Barracks yesterday due to captain Levi catching him in his rabbit moments. Still their reaction must be priceless to see to have Captain clean freak walking in on them.
"No sir, or ma'am" Eren stammered unsure what to call Hange, his arm lodged into the flesh, trying to pull out his arm, wanting to be free from it.
"What you doing?! Don't pull out yet just yet, you have got to be close" Hange exclaimed noticing his attempts to get free. Everyone shifted in their feet at her comment, sounding so wrong on so many levels.
"Oi, if he can't move it, he can't move it" Levi piping up from the ridiculousness from this experiment "Eren get out of there, we be heading back soon" Eren only nodded before trying to rip his arm out.
"Eren" Alan called out "Breath, relax and pull" Hange and Levi noting on the instruction as they turned to Eren doing just that as he freely came out fluidly launching backwards to have Oluo and Gunther catching him before Eren can impact the ground.
"How did you know how to get out?" Levi questioned, causing Alan to revert to an emotionless expression.
"Isn't that what you do when you get stuck? Pointless panicking when it's simpler to relax your body and breath" Alan commented, Levi nodding and grunted in agreement.
"Head back to HQ, and yes Shitty glasses, I'm ending the experiments today" Levi announced, ignoring her protests, and relief of her assistant.
Commander Erwin was sitting in his office, with Mike watching out the window as the new recruits train in the courtyard, apparently grooming the horses and learning about them are needed, the horses are specially bred for the survey corps for increase stamina and the ability to outrun normal titans for long distances during expeditions.
Mike was considered the second strongest and most capable under Levi, his sense of smell was considered extraordinary and highly useful for Erwin because Mike can always pinpoint the direction and presence of titans making him Second to Erwin in the command chain.
Erwin was drafting up the long-range scouting formation, placing where members would be and Eren along with Levi squad. If Erwin can summarise there are titan shifters just like Eren, if he have to bet on mankind, they will be after him, but it is the matter of who and where. This wold be the purpose of the 187th expedition, yet only he, Mike and Levi would know the true purpose, sworn to secrecy. The door swinging open noting that Levi just entered into his office.
Still drawing his plan "So Levi, what do you think?" eyes not leaving the sheet on front.
"Kid got a lot of potential to do some damage" Levi casually spoke "Spent most the time riding back writing in his damn book" Erwin chuckled at the comment.
"So, he passed your little test with flying colours, consider putting him in your squad?" Erwin asked his head lifting up to Levi, awaiting Levi's answer.
A silent paused linger for a second before Levi can comment "No" is all Levi can say. Erwin blinking at the answer, waited for more clarification, causing Levi to sigh. "He can do better with other sections instead of helping me babysit Yeager, I can't have all the best around me"
Erwin nodding to his reasoning "Indeed, he can be with Mike, since his skills at dispatching titans is second to none" turning to Mike "Any objections?"
Mike can only snort in amusement "If he can impress Captain Levi, his skills and talents must be true of him being the strongest cadet" affirming his agreement to the commander's order.
"Then it is settled then" Erwin affirmed "Have him train with the others, he needs to know the formation and horse bonding, Mike report to me of any improvement in his skills"
Mike saluted and left, while Levi stayed a little longer, knowing there's more to be said between Erwin and Levi.
"Anything else you found out about him?" Erwin questioned.
"From what one of my squad members told me, he has a brotherly bond with one the cadets named Reiner Braun" Levi simply stated "He's also coupled with Eren's sister"
Erwin raised his eyebrow in question, interesting non the less, he can be trusted if he's with someone close to Eren Yeager, or dangerous. "Anything else he said?"
Levi, staring emotionless, wracking his brain remembering every detail "Apparently the kid will protect the girl and Eren if he has to, his brother also"
"What of his book and knife?" Erwin pressed, more curious on the knife.
"It's a book full of stupid thoughts and dreams. Good at drawing though" Levi avoided the knife, which Erwin then prompted again. "Erwin, it's a stupid knife his father gave him, could have had it man made or some stupid shit, doubt it be good to pick the teeth of a titan" Levi stated casually and as a matter of fact, indicating that is all he got out of Alan, just a knife from his father, even refusing to tell them about his father that's for sure.
Nodding to the statement Erwin can only drop the matter knowing Alan can be trusted and not a suspect. "Very well continue to protect Eren under your supervision" with that Levi simply walked out. Erwin staring down at the plans in front of him, his brain in motion, placing Alan into the right flank.
Alan have been greeted upon his return like he was missing in action as they all seen how he was, Garrus showing his jealous streak again since Alan yet again gain notice from the higher ups without even trying.
"Hey Garrus, you got locked onto Captain Levi's radar a lot quicker than him" Reiner shouted out, causing the crowd to laugh. Sasha looking away in embarrassment.
"It's not everyday someone would get to see the big man in action" Garrus retorted, Reiner only rolled his eyes.
"Garrus, you trained half naked again today" Bruno snipped at Garrus, getting tired of seeing his best friend naked with his sausage wiggling about "Have you ever heard of decency and subtlety?"
Garrus twisting his head to Bruno "I am the master of decency and subtlety, I'm dressed, aren't I?"
"Does that mean you managed to sneak one out then?" Izzy asked innocently, causing the boys around to shake their head, Sasha incoherently stuttering, attempting to draw the conversation to another subject.
Garrus can only grin and tap his nose before winking to Sasha, hiding her face yet again.
Mikasa, can only listen to conversation, her eye's fixed on Alan, before heading somewhere private, Alan instinctively followed, Reiner can only grin as he watch them leave, deciding to put their appearances disappear unnoticed into his own hands.
"So guys, let's put a bet that Garrus would be half naked again, OR cleaning where ether he been fucking" Reiner clapping his hands drawing the crowds attention.
"I bet my next meal he be caught high noon, wearing metal around his dick" Ymir chanted, Christa swatting her arm.
"Ymir, you know it's rude to do that" Christa can only say with her own cheeks reddening, before whispering to Reiner she bet it will happen in the morning, Reiner grinning in response.
Alone again with his heart, Alan can only gaze at her face, before his own heart dance to its own beat. But his face expressionless, waiting for Mikasa to speak.
"Is Eren ok?" Of course, it would be the first question to escape her lips, not that he can fault her.
"He's doing fine as he can be, apparently he can transform a limb but can't control it" Alan simply stated yet her Mikasa is also waiting on something else "Yes he's been treated fine, not forcing him into it" Mikasa features and posture relaxing before setting her eyes onto his.
"And you? Have they treated you alright?" Mikasa asked, the anxiety clearer in her voice.
Alan thought his answer carefully "The captain tested me on my skills, I passed with flying colours, no harm done at all" a little white lie for sure, he isn't going to tell her he been in a brawling match and nearly pulverised while flying in the air, apparently Mikasa smiled in relief before closing the distance between the two, planting her own lips onto his. Her moan deepened along with the kiss, getting lost into his arms.
Pulling away leaving Alan his signature eye raise "You have been waiting to do that all day have you?" joking at her cheeks flushing.
"I like the feeling you leave with me, you are my heart after all" Mikasa responded a small smile creeping her lips before going in for more, after last time, her need multiplied twice fold, yearning for that touch once more.
Sensing this Alan gripped her rear before coming up to breath "Do you want me to train half naked like Garrus tomorrow" Alan joked, Mikasa eyes darkened at the thought "I'm joking, we be cleaning first then I be training half naked" laughing at his own joke.
Mikasa shaking her head before he asked a question catching her off guard "Who's in your bunk room?" Alan questioned while looking pass to a person eavesdropping around the corner of the wall. Mikasa blinking once or twice.
"Sasha, Izzy and another girl I can't quite remember" Mikasa slowly answered, her eyes questioning his motives, with only Alan grinning and tapping his nose, before pulling out of his touch, he then asked which part of the barracks "Left wing, third door on the right side from the main entrance" before Mikasa could ask Alan just pecked her lips before heading off, leaving Mikasa confused at his questions.
Before turning his head "Just try and stay awake after lights out" winking, Mikasa's cheeks flushing red.
Night came quickly as Alan silently slipped from his bunk, only to hear rustling of Reiner waking from his slumber.
"Alan where you going?" Reiner grumbled blinking at the darkness "It just gone lights out, brother" rubbing his eyes to see Alan dressed in his casual clothes, blinking once or twice before groaning.
"Don't tell me your going to sneak out to her?" Reiner questioned, Alan rubbing the back of his head nervously as if being caught, not answering "Aw man you are, are you trying to get caught"
"Not really Reiner, I have a plan for that" Alan snickered, Reiner in disbelief as he shook his head "Look above you Reiner, and tell me if something not amiss" Reiner grumbling decided to entertain his brain, looked to the top bunk to find it empty, a groan escaping his lips.
"Your using Garrus as a scapegoat" Reiner concluded, damn that horny bastard for using the right moment, "Did you know he's gonna do this shit?"
Shrugging "He eavesdropped on where they be so I am betting he would take Sasha out for a midnight stroll" before turning to leave.
"Well don't get caught, I hate to see you with you junk out" Reiner teased before returning to bed.
Mikasa pretended to sleep when lights gone out, she nearly jumped out of bed, until she sensed it was not Alan, the footsteps not so subtle as a little squeal, soon to be muffled, listening to the giggles as she can assume Sasha getting out the bed, before creeping out the, door slowly shutting, unsure why Alan asked her to stay awake, until the door creaked open yet no sound came as the door is shut once more, her heart beating as there is no sound, just silence, until her mattress grow heavy, her eyes opened at the blanket covering her gained a second mound, soon creeping across to the entrance to see a cheeky grin form underneath, Mikasa was about to say something until Alan placed a finger to his lips before placing his lips onto her, stifling her own groan from escaping as she wrapped her hands around his neck, Alan soon escaping her clutches, watching him retreat under the covers.
Moments lingered as Mikasa yearning for his touch, her eyes widened as the tug of his hands slipping her out of her under clothes, her head tilting upwards to actually question what he is up to, before caught by surprise as something wet touched her primary entrance.
'By the walls' Mikasa can only scream in her mind, as a unusual sensation came down as her legs parted outwards, her hands unconsciously reached below to find his hair between his legs, is he? Oh, is all she can think of, as she allowed his activity to go unhindered. Bringing one hand up to cover her mouth, stifling any moan as his ferocious onslaught continued, grinding herself as he manoeuvred his tongue to the desired area, searching for the spot he desired, until another pleasurable feeling shot through her body, as her hand on his head held him still as if keeping him there, some quiet moans escaped her breath, an amused grunt came from under the sheets, smug bastard. Unable to hold out her body convulsed as her climax reached, hearing him satisfied came up to be on top of her.
Blinking from the sensation Mikasa can only daze upon his face, feeling the smugness radiating from the guy, before pulling him into a deep kiss before the main course can be eaten.
During all this Izzy stared at the ceiling silently, listening to all the commotion, her thoughts dazed and imagining what is happening inside the room, assuming Garrus just sneaked in and started to fool around.
A/N: Well it took a while but now I'm in lockdown, possible more chapters will come out, so enjoy and review, I enjoy the thoughts of my readers, positive or negative, either are welcomed with open arms.
Myzor: thanks for the review, It be a shock indeed when the time come, I have that part planned out, need to reach there first and nope Mikasa is not pregnant, the little guy escaped before that can happen nor is he intended to for a good reason.
