Twenty Five || Let Me Help

I stand in front of the corporal's door, gaining the courage to knock. My knuckles come in contact with the door. I hear papers behind shuffled on the other side.

"Name and business."

"Y/n, and I brought you your lunch."

"I'm not hungry."

"You have to eat." I hear a grunt on the other side and the door opens.

"I don't want it." The corporal says. I look into his eyes which had looked red and puffy. I shove the plate of food into his chest.

"Eat it!" I spit. He growls and grabs the plate. "I'm getting you tea and I'm coming back up." I say.

I turn around and march back down to the cafeteria. "Hey, Y/n!" Eren says greeting me at the entrance.

"What's up, Eren?"

"Nothing. I'm just trying to figure out what I'll be doing the rest of this day." The captains and the commander had lots of paper work so we won't be training for the next couple days.

"I hope you find something." I say walking into the cafeteria. Eren looks back at me and the shrugs, looking for Mikasa and Armin.

I find a kettle and put hot water into a teacup. I reach my hand for a tea bag, not caring which flavor I pick up. I hold the packet by the string and walk out with the tea. The captain didn't really like sugar in his tea. I make my way back up to his office and open his door.

"Knock!" He groans.

"You knew I was coming."

"Anybody could have been behind the door."

"Why haven't you eaten your food?"

"I'm not hungry."

"You still have to eat." He slams his hands on his desk.

"Stop ordering me around! I am your captain!"

"I am helping you!"

"But I can help myself."

"Fine. Be that way. I need to go to the infirmary anyway. Why am I wasting my time looking out for you?" I stomp over to the door of his office. "You should also go to the infirmary. I heard your ankle crack when you saved Mikasa."

"It's not your job to worry about me." I slam the door behind me and go to the infirmary.

"Hey, Y/n." Hange greets me as they walk through the hall. "Did Levi get his food?"

"Yes but that shorty won't eat it." I grumble. Hange giggles.

"I'll be up there soon to shove it down his throat! What brings you to the infirmary?"

"I hurt my ankle during the expedition." I reply.

"Right. Hey, Doctor Etta, this young girl here has hurt her ankle. Mind helping her?" Hange calls.

"Of course I will, no problem. I'll be there in a minute."

"Okay, Y/n. I have some work to do. I'll se-"

"Hange." I interrupt.

"What is it?"

"Captain Levi also hurt his ankle. He kicked a titan's hand while saving Mikasa. Make sure he gets someone to check out his ankle as well."

"Wow, Y/n. You seem to really care for Levi." Hange says wiggling their eyebrows.

"No.. No it's because he is just my captain and I shouldn't have to watch a captain limp around." I say.

"Yeah, yeah. Don't worry I'll keep your secret." I open my mouth again but I've got nothing to say. Instead, I blush and sit in a chair waiting for the doctor to come back for me.

Time Skip

"Your ankle is going to be okay. It's just a ligament sprain. It should only take a week or two to heal."

"Thank God." I sigh.

"I'm going to wrap it up. Go easy on it." Doctor Etta instructs.

"Yeah, okay." I walk out of the infirmary and find Eren, Mikasa and Armin.

"Hey, Y/n!" Armin calls.

"Hey guys!" I sigh.

"What were you doing in the infirmary?" Mikasa asks.

"Oh, I had hurt my ankle during the expedition."

"Is it going to be alright?"

"Yes."

"Y/n," Eren starts. "Why did you take a plate out of the cafeteria? Who was that for?"

"Oh, that." I say. "That was for Captain Levi. Hange had told me that he didn't come down to get his lunch so I brought it up to him." I reply.

"Then what were you doing when you came back down?" Eren asks.

"Got his tea."

"Y/n, you seem to really care about the Captain."

"Why-" I rub my head, "Hange said the same thing. Bringing someone food does not mean you want to be in a romantic relationship with them. In fact it doesn't even show that I care about him. I was ordered by Hange so I did what I was told!" I say crossing my arms.

"Y/n, I have to agree. It does seem like you care about him. I mean, every time someone complains about the corporal, you either stay silent to try to defend him." Mikasa says.

"Yeah, because he's my captain? That's all there is too it." Eren looks down at his lap.

"Guys, I think I'm going to go take a nap." He says weakly.

"Are you sick?" Mikasa asks, placing her hand on his forehead.

"No, I think this mission has just worn me out." Mikasa nods and Eren walks back into the HQ.

"Y/n.." Armin says, pulling me aside. "I have a feeling Eren likes you. I can tell you don't feel the same way. Im not saying you need to get in a relationship with him. I know that wouldn't make you happy. But can you please just cheer him up?" I look into Armin's blue eyes.

"I'll try, Armin." He let's go of my arm and nods his head.
