Daydream

Note: This story was requested on tumblr by an anon. They asked for a story where the events in chapter 132 happened quite differently and I'm here for it. 

WARNING: MANGA SPOILER.

Summary: In which you save Hanji before she has the chance to go ahead with her suicidal charge.

.

As Jean drags your body into the aircraft, you feel your throat burning from all the screaming. The pain in your lungs is unbearable but not enough to stop you.

For a split second, he loses his grip on your body and you are able to escape.

Using your gear, you find yourself taking down a colossal titan standing next to Hanji.

"Y/N??" She looks at you, fear in her eyes. Rage takes over your body as you slice the nape of yet another titan.

"How DARE you leave me!" You say before grabbing Hanji's cloak. As you tighten your grip, the hook of your gear hits the aircraft just barely taking flight.

As she tries to struggle, you throw her body into the moving vehicle as you follow closely behind.

All eyes on you as you lay on your back, trying your best to catch your breath.

"Hanji! Y/N!" You hear Pieck's voice echoing through the ship as you silently sit up on your elbows. Once you can get your lung movements under control you look over at Hanji, who's sitting against the wall.

"WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING?" You yell at her. Rage and sorrow clouding your mind, all you can do is let your feelings out in the most aggressive way you can possibly think of.

From her hands to her face, you notice burns and scratches covering her skin. Hanji doesn't move. All she can do is stare at the ceiling quietly, warm tears running down her face.

Armin extends his hand, helping you get back on your feet. No one says a word as you make your way towards Hanji.

You kneel by her side, watching as she covers her eyes with her arm.

"I just wanted to protect everyone." She whispers, hiccups erupting from her body.

You gently place your hand on her arm, slowly moving it out of the way so she can look at you. "And leave me behind?"

"Leave you alive." Hanji finally looks in your eyes, you see the amount of pain she's in.

"I would rather die with you..." You say, moving her glasses so you can treat her injuries. "Then to live without you."

As Reiner hands you a small bowl of water, you take out a small piece of cloth that rests in your pocket to clean her burns, making sure no debris is left on her open wounds.

Hanji's face writhes onto a pained expression. She bites down her lower lip and allows a few pain-filled tears. As soon as you're done, you wrap her wounds in the best way you can and finally, you decide to break the silence.

"I don't care if you are the Commander or a cadet" You make sure she's looking into your eyes before finishing your sentence, an unusually serious expression takes over your features, "Don't you dare try to leave me again."

"I won't go anywhere, I promise." She tries to smile at you, but among the tears, a smile simply won't appear on her lips. Instead, she flashes you a pained smirk as her bottom lip quivers.

Slowly, you start brushing your lips against hers, wanting nothing more but to feel her breath against your mouth. She pulls you close, destroying any space existing between you. Her breathing against your lips is all you wished for.
