Left Behind (Erwin Smith X Reader)

Chapter 4: Return To Sender

   "(Y/N)!" That was Hanji Zoe barging into my room and picking me up like a child underneath the armpits and standing me up. They lay their hands on my shoulders to stabilize me. "What happened (Y/N) are you ok?" They frantically searched me for any kind of injury as I just tried to stand up straight. "Yes I think so, just got dizzy that's all."

Soon enough a shadow appeared in the doorway and turns out it was Levi who was passing by. "You look like shit." He said as he had paused, looked at me and walked away. Which only made me feel worse as Hanji held their hand up to my forehead and proceeded to tell me I should stay in bed. I only fought back saying if I got dressed I would feel better. After shooing Hanji out of my room I gingerly put on my uniform. As I was putting on the belts for my odm gear I fall on my ass as another wave of dizziness and nausea hit.

I ended up getting changed after my little spell and headed out the door like a zombie. My stomach was twisted in knots like I felt an impending doom that was never gonna happen. I made my way to the end of the room and had my hand on the knob before the door flew open smacking me in the face and onto my butt once again.

Hanji had appeared and lifted me up again as my nose started to throb. "Thanks for the warning Hanji." Hanji wrapped their arm around my waist and hoisted me up with a nervous laugh as we walked out of my room.

Hanji closed the door behind us and all the sounds that were heard were the rest of the corps getting ready for this next expedition. Hanji eventually stopped in front of a doorway, I thought it was the infirmary but Hanji being Hanji they instead brought me to Erwin's office. The door opened in front of us as I looked up holding my nose to be met with Erwin at his desk. 

"Hey there Commander" I say with an apparent nasal tone to my voice.

"What the hell happened to you?" It was at this point he obviously noticed my unruly state. My pale face and dark eyebags. My hair was disheveled which only added to the look that I was sick. As well as a swollen nose didn't help.

Hanji started to help me towards the chair before I slipped out of their grasp and was about to end up face first on the floor. I suddenly felt myself being choked by my collar. Only to look up and see Erwin had caught the back of my shirt and held it like holding the scruff of a kitten. He brought his other arm right around my ribcage and pulled me up. At that point I needed a trashcan and sleep so i bolted for the can right by his desk and puked. The funny feeling in my stomach still there. As him and Hanji just stared.

Soon enough I was being dragged like a child down the hall by Levi to go down to the infirmary for rest. "I swear Im fine, just a little jitters that's all." I tried to plead my case to the short man.

"Such up, you normally shit instead of puke." 

"Hey how do you know that?" He responded with a tch that finally shut me up as we had arrived to the infirmary for me to get some rest.

It was obvious I wasn't going on this expedition and I was so pissed. Levi eventually left me on my own to get comfortable and some rest. So inevitably after once last stomach emptying I laid down. Letting the warmth of the blanket and the softness of the mattress consume me I fell asleep.

A voice rang out

𝐼𝒻 𝒾𝓉 𝒾𝓈 𝓂𝓎 𝓉𝒾𝓂𝑒 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝑜 𝓁𝑒𝓉 𝓂𝑒 𝑔𝑜

The voice sounded so familiar but so distant. A warmth and deepness to it that sounded like warm honey. But also a softness and lightness that was like snow falling on a cold day.

𝐼 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊, 𝒹𝑜𝓃'𝓉 𝒻𝑜𝓇𝑔𝑒𝓉 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 (𝒴/𝒩)

It rang out once again. Who was talking and why?

(𝒴/𝒩)

(𝒴/𝒩)

(Y/N)

"(Y/N)!" 

"Hey Section Commander!" 

I was finally shaken awake feeling that knot in my stomach gone. I wiped the sleep from my eyes feeling hands on my shoulders as I sat up. My eyes were fully adjusted to be met with a Garrison Soldier. His expression was twisted in pure horror. His face was pale and sweat ran down his face. His eyes were wide and dirt was apparent in his hair.

"What?" I responded lazily

"The colossal titan has breached the trost district!"

I sat up throwing  off the bed covers and sloppily put on my boots. Fear started to rise through me. The first time since I had joined the scouts. But I felt my head spin once again and my hands shake as I stood up and fumbled to the floor. The Garrison soldiers tried to help me up.

"Don't touch me! Go see if there is anyone else here if so send them to the Survey Corps out in the field and have them be alerted immediately. NOW!" The solder fumbled as he sprinted out of the room halfway in a panic and halfway in confidence. I stood myself and went to look for my gear. Once locating where it was and putting it on the soldier had greeted me with a salute and alerted me of the situation.

"There was another Survey Corps soldier here, they have been sent out to alert the Survey corps."

"Good" I said adjusting my straps one last time. I pulled on my green cape that doned the wings of freedom and pulled it snuggly around my arm. 

"Now time to give em hell."
