Levi had left during the night, I should've guessed it would drive him crazy to wear the same clothes for nearly a day. While his new uniform looked as immaculate as ever, although his hair was definitely something else. It stuck up in places, ruffled from running his hands through it. We probably matched with equally messed up hair. Swinging my legs out to get up proved to be a mistake, my feet touching the freezing stone floor, if Levi hadn't seen me get up before he had certainly heard my not so quiet language
"Shit, that's fucking cold"
"At least you're up." He'd gotten up and wondered into the corridor, probably to look out a window or something.
"Your sympathy astounds me" I mumbled back, trying to reach my shoes from under the bad without getting up off it. At least the boots were big and easy to slip on. I might as well get dressed, Levi probably wanted to grab Hanji pretty soon and I was not having Hanji at my bedside again anytime soon. I pulled the cupboard door open, with some resistance, and looked at what little clothing there was. No point in wearing the uniform, unlike Levi I didn't have a job to do. Picking up my loose shirt and the closest I had to comfy clothes I turned to put them on the bed and started getting changed.
I'd originally felt bad for heading out in the few hours Eren had slept, but looking out at the sky proved it had saved us the precious time we would need to talk to Hanji. Looking back down the corridor I could just see my chair and the soft glow of the stub of a candle, still I'm glad I was here when he woke up. Thoughts churned about the 'plan' we were going through with, what if Hanji couldn't help, what did it mean for the Scouts and what if Eren has side effects or- No this is getting me nowhere, and standing around is just wasting time. Turning away I headed back toward the cell, hopefully the brat hasn't gone back to sleep, although he had gotten woken up-Shit. Eren was pulling his shirt, of course he would start getting change, I was gone for a while. God why can't I fucking think about these things. Turning away I headed back down the corridor. Leaning against the wall I was considering screaming into the void, but I settled with desperately trying to cool my face down, at least it's still a bit dark Eren might not notice. Why does this keep fucking happening to me, I swear I am one accidental walk–in away from losing it. Thank fuck Hanji isn't here. I try warming my voice a bit before talking, I'd never live if it fucking cracked right now.
"Eren, you ready to go?" I've wasted enough time, this is more important than some stupid crush.
Levi seemed to know the way to Hanji's room surprisingly well, considering we've not been at the castle very long. I was fed up of this silent walking, trying to stay out of people's way, there was no one around to begin with, hardly anyone bothered to get up before breakfast was ready and that wouldn't be for a few more hours. So why not lighten the mood a bit, I caught up to Levi's pace and leaned in so I wouldn't get hit for being loud.
"So d'you go to Hanji's often?" My tone heavy with implications.
His look was almost worth getting tripped up.
At least I don't have to worry about them flirting, although I'm not sure why that would bother me so much, Sasha gets flirted at by Connie all the time and that's never bothered me be-DOOR. I should pay more attention when I walk, it's not really a statement of good health to walk straight into doors. It's certainly not helping my reputation with Levi.
That stupid shit, why the fuck did I have to like someone in the first place, let alone someone that walks into fucking doors and purposely tries to tease me. With a sigh I pushed him to the side and knocked on Hanji's door. At least I know she'd be awake, the real question is if she'd be in a suitable state. Before I could warn Eren, the door opened and Hanji stood, thankfully clothed, behind it.
"LEVI-"
Before she could go and wake the whole damn castle up, I grabbed Eren and pulled us into Hanji's room. Letting go of his hand I closed the door and turned to explain myself.
