When I awoke I didn't recognise where I was, looking around the place was spotless, not a single hint of mess, I fumbled around for my glasses, but they were placed on the desk, I grabbed them quickly and the room became clear, then I noticed something….

Not something…. someone.

"Levi…" I mumbled, stretching my back toward towards my leg. "what am I doing in here?" I waited for an answer, but he didn't respond. Instead, he got up, walked towards the desk and picked up the uniform, neatly folded. He placed them on the bed and walked away

"get dressed" He hissed "tch. Four eyes" I looked at him confused as he walked away quickly, leaving the room, what was I doing in his room. Although my body felt relaxed, it had been a long time since I had felt like this, but why? I didn't know what had happened after I opened the door last night.

I decided to get over it and get dressed.

Erwin was heading towards the mess hall as I was walking that way too, I didn't say anything, I felt slightly awkward after yesterday… did he really meant what he said? I continued walking, thinking about what I had just experienced. For one, I was sleeping in Levi's room, the last thing I remember was Levi… the puzzle would seem easy but it wasn't. I wondered about what would be the answer to this, I sighed, knowing Levi probably wouldn't even tell me what I was doing in his bed, he would just 'tch…' and walk away.

"Hanji, who are you talking to…" Erwin stopped in his tracks and turned around. "and what are you talking about?"

I froze, my cheeks felt like they were burning all of a sudden

"er… er nothing" I waved my hands in the air "Theories… titans… walls.."

"What was that about Levi?"

"Oh…. I er…."

"We are heading out in three days Hanji, I need you to stay focused"

Erwin started to walk a long side me, I felt awkward, why was he suddenly so interested in me "I'm sorry…. about you know"

"What?"

"Yesterday… at the mess hall…" I looked down "I didn't mean to offend you"

"Hanji…"

"You know I didn't get insulted… I know you just care" He looked at me as we walked "You have always cared…." His voice grew weak "Like I care…. about you"

I froze, What was happening today? Already? Am I being tested? I looked up at Erwin, other recruits walked past talking, joking around but for me, I felt like my body had turned to jelly. Erwin Smith… cared?

"Tch" Levis voice could be heard from the doorway. "Hey shitty glasses, you look.. refreshed, did you have a bath?" I turned to look at him, my eyebrows raised, what on earth….

"You…." I stepped forward "YOU!" I went to grab him but he moved swiftly out of the way.

"Hanji, you left me no choice"

"What are you two on about" Erwin butted in as I chased Levi around slightly trying to grab at him and give him a piece of my mind. "Levi! Hanji!" We both stopped, Erwins voice was cold and stern.

"I bathed her, I knocked her out, and washed her" Levi said calmly, I wanted to scream. Levi. Bathed me. He… he

"You bastard!" I screamed, I smacked him on the shoulder and he patted down where I had hit him to make sure it didn't leave a crease in his shirt.

"She stunk" Levi sighed "You understand Erwin"

"Levi, You should never…" Erwin started to talk

"You saw me naked!"

"You saw her… what!" Erwin looked like he was about to blow. Levi stood there, smug as ever.

"I think I need to sit down…" I sighed and I stormed off, I could hear the boys snapping at each other as I left.

During training, Eren was trying his hardest to finally harden himself. Training was coming through. Finally. Levi was standing around waiting for something to happen, Mikasa, close by making sure that no one would harm Eren.

"I believe it's finally happened" Armin rejoiced "now we can seal Wall Maria and finally… we are back to the beginning"

"I believe so.." I smiled "Eren however must rest, if he continues to work this hard it will destroy him, maybe even make his regeneration slower…"

"Do you believe in such things?" Armin looked at me, then looked back at Eren

"Come to think about it, I don't know what I think, does his regeneration skills get lower with time, or the amount he uses it or something more…" My brain started to tick "we must look into this for the benefit of Eren, we can't loose him"

"He is like your favourite toy" Levi sighed from behind me, I ignored his comment "Just like you playing nurse for Erwin"

My blood boiled slightly, but I continued to ignore him.

"I had an idea" I smiled, "I believe you would also be in agreement with me" |

"and what would that be?"

"A mechanism, for killing titans…"

"oh here we go…" Levi sighed.

My mind was in another world though… After Erwin today, and Levi bathing me? Was I dreaming? Had I died?

Levi angered me, I could easily bath myself if I wanted to. But then I thought about how relaxed I was, at that moment when I woke up… I thought about Levi, bathing me, his body pressed against mine… and something about that made me numb. My body was numb due to the thought of it. I wanted to forget about it but in my mind, my thoughts ran wild… of Levi.

In the evening, I laid on my bed, hugging myself, wondering what on earth was going on with my life. I skipped dinner, I didn't want to see Levi or Erwin.

There was a knock at my door, thinking it was Moblit I called him in. However… it was Levi.

"Four eyes, you look pathetic" He muttered "tch"

"You…." I didn't have anything to say to him really. I was just… I felt so lost.

"I did you a favour, it wasn't like I enjoyed it"

"You what"

"Hanji, look you don't shower, I do it all the time, you just started to wake before I could get you back in your room, so I just laid you in my bed, not like I use it anyway"

"Levi… I am furious" I said sitting up "We are friends yet you… you"

"it was for you own benefit"

He moved over and sat down next to me. "Hanji, you do not look after yourself, you spend all day in that lab, researching, doing your work and you never really look after yourself, not once"

"what has got into you that you care so much about what I do and how I do it"

"Because I can't bare to loose anyone else!" He suddenly snapped. "I just cant!"

"Levi…" I felt ashamed, I never realised how many comrades Levi had lost, how many friends we watched die, who we couldn't save…

"Isabel, Furlan, Pedra even Oluo" He sighed "sorry… I just"

"Levi look… we have lost our friends, family… comrades but we can't live in the past, they fought for our freedom, for another day.."

"but did they!" he looked down at the floor "did they really?! If they had died for this stupid cause then maybe the titans would of been killed out! But no! Now we think about how the titans were human?! How is that even…"

I put my hand on his shoulder

"Let it out" I calmly responded. "it's okay"

"You, you can't leave me" He said "You can't" He grabbed my hand. "Shitty glasses… I mean Hanji.." He looked into my eyes

"Levi…"

"Don't… don't ever die on me"

His hands cupped my face, my heart pounding. I closed my eyes, a tear slowly travelling down my cheek.

What was Levi trying to say…..
