It's been a while, so here's an update! :D

Anyhoo, please review!

Why So Early?

I stepped around the other side of the table and retrieved my tray with the intention of returning it to the kitchens for washing.

Just as I'd finished popping it away, Hange walked up to me.

"Willa, I'll be needing you to sleep in the infirmary again, to make sure you're fit and healthy." Hange gave a cheshire grin.

"Oh okay then, I thought I'd get to bunk with the other cadets soon?"

"Once I'm sure you can move around and function normally. As good in health as you might seem at the moment, you could have bleeding on the brain. Now, we wouldn't want that to be the case." I walked along with Hange, towards the infirmary.

"How would you know if I was bleeding on the brain?" I asked, genuinely curious and slightly concerned...

"Well you've already exhibited two of the known symptoms." Hange's head turned to face me. "Loss of consciousness and severe headaches."

"Yeah, that has been happening." Now I was getting more worried. If I was as badly injured from head butting a wall as Hange was insinuating, I would never get the chance to even see a Titan before I died. Ironic that it could have been my own addled brain whacking that caused my demise in a world of monsters.


The next day I awoke to the sound of curtains being drawn roughly and a flood of light attacking my shut eyelids.

"Gah!" I exclaimed in a half stupor, voice harsh from sleep.

"Get your lazy ass up." Said Levi.

When I had heard Levi was in charge of taking care of me, I didn't think he'd take it so seriously. In the reverse role, I would have asked someone else to train the random stranger that had infiltrated their ranks, let alone wake them up myself.

"What time is it?" I rubbed at my eyes with the back of my hands, clearing them of sleep dust.

"Well past five."

"In the morning?"

"Yes."

"The hell are you doing waking me up at five?"

Levi set a dead stare at me; the insolent girl. "It's time to train."

'I didn't realise they trained so early.' I mentally catalogued.

Chucking the covers off of myself I slowly swung my legs out from the bed.

"Do I have a new set of training clothes?" Levi's head nodded in the direction of a stool with a pile of clothes on top. "Thanks."

I stood, stretching slightly. "How long do I have to sleep in the infirmary?" I queried scratching my head and taking my hair out of the messy bun I'd slept in.

"I'm looking into finding a room."

"You know something else that would be good?"

"What?" Levi asked, not really wanting to know.

"Some pyjamas. You do realise I'm in just my underwear."

"Yeah I know." His eyes stayed fixed on mine.

"Fine, well can you sort that out." I stated rather than asked. There was a toilet in the infirmary which was quite useful, it was like having my own en suite. I stalked in and locked the door behind me, slightly miffed that Levi hadn't even sneaked a glance at me.

Levi stood just outside the bathroom and was contemplating leaving the infirmary, but just as he started towards the door it swung open to reveal none other than four eyes.

"Morning!" Exclaimed Hanji.

"Yeah. It is." Levi replied sarcastically, to which Hanji replied with a head pat.

"What are you doing here?" Hanji asked, evading the fist that had been aimed towards the old glasses Levi hated.

"Picking up the brat." Levi tilted his head towards the door, silently pointing out where Willa had gone. With the sound of a tap being turned off, I stepped out of the bathroom.

"Good morning." I smiled. Now a bit more awake, I was fully aware of my state of undress and the new addition to the infirmary. Trotting quickly to the stool I chucked on the uniform in record time, before Hanji even had the chance to say-

"Morning!"

Now I really thought about it I didn't know anything about these fictional people I thought I knew so well. For example was Hanji a boy or a girl? What was his/her back story?

Should I just straight up ask Hanji's gender? No that'd be rude, I concluded. I decided to just look out for signs and physical tell tales. Didn't want to ruin the good friendship that had started to blossom between the Titan mad fanatic and the amnesiac universe traveller.

"Breakfast?" I asked a smile spreading across her face at the thought of freshly baked bread and different jams.

"Before that you have to do laps."

"What do you mean?! You're horrible!"

"No, Will that's normal procedure, every one of the cadets does six laps of the field in the morning, before getting food." Hanji said, sort of coming to the rescue for Levi, as I felt about ready to bite his head off, just like a Titan.

"Oh okay, that's fine then." I ducked my head slightly in shame, see I had gotten so used to Levi acting like, well Levi that automatically I went to lash out at him.

"Let's go." Said Levi, already leaving the infirmary.

"Bye Hanji, have a good day!" I waved as I skipped out of the room.

"You too!" Could be heard faintly from down the corridor, an echo of Hanji's voice filling the mine and Levi's ears.

After a short trek we reached the track field. A giant dust circuit marked where hundreds of pairs of feet had beat away the ground.

"Are you sure that this is were everyone runs? It's a big track."

"I'm entirely sure, stop questioning me."

"Then where is everyone?"

"They're eating, we're late."

"But it's only about half past five?!" Levi just gave a look that said, 'yeah you're half an hour late.' Accompanied with a slightly raised eyebrow.

"Fine then, let's get going." I said, stretching a bit in preparation.
