Some Say (Jean Kirstein X Reader)

Chapter Five

Once again I find myself back in the courtroom but I'm the centre of attention this time. Levi and Hanji stand firmly on either side of me as I kneel cuffed in front of the judge. Like these flimsy metal, shackles would really stop me if I was to shift.

As though Levi is reading my mind, he shoots a death glare down at me and I look at the floor.

"(Y/n) has never shifted previously before this occasion. She has been consistently under our care since she was taken in at 9 years old." He pleads with my case.

The judge hums. "(L/n) have you previously shifted before coming into the care of the Survey Corps?"

I raise my head. "No, your honour. Until yesterday I was unaware of my ability to do so."

The judge turns his gaze back to Levi. "And I only assume she will be under your supervision like Mr Jaeger."

"Her supervision will be shared between Squad Leader Hanji and myself."

The room is silent and I can feel my heart hammering away in my chest. Will Levi have to beat me like what he did to Eren just to prove a point? I close my eyes and drop my head. Why did this have to happen to me? I'm perfectly happy being a normal human being with no titan shifting powers.

"I grant that miss (L/N) be released back to normal duties and is to remain under the close supervision of Levi and Hanji."

My head shoots up and a smile grows on my face. Hanji nudges me a little and winks. A couple of gasps rise through the court and I can feel the Military Police staring at me. They are really going to be on our case now.

"You are all dismissed." The judge says before vanishing.

A military police officer comes forward and uncuffs me. A look of pure disgust crosses his face. "You titan shifters will be the end of humanity. Enjoy your freedom while it lasts." He spits.

I go to open my mouth when Levi and Hanji both step in. "Did you want to repeat that, pig?" Levi threatens.

"Last time I checked you Military bitches didn't even lift a finger for humanity. You just hideaway behind the safety of the walls." Hanji says.

I stand rubbing at my wrists. "And, like we have all witnessed, the wall doesn't seem to keep the titans out."

The guy backs off knowing he is not going to challenge us all. Erwin joins us and gives me one of his proud smiles.

"This has certainly been a huge change of events. I think we will get far with Eren and you on humanity's side."

"I can't wait to rip titans limb from limb," I admit.

Levi sighs. "You're starting to sound a lot like Eren, I don't need another one of him running around."

We laugh but Levi gives me a serious look. "Lighten up, Captain." I push my luck.

He shakes his head. "I have cleaning duties to hand out." He pauses. "Jean reminded me that you said you'd take his cleaning for the next month."

I groan. "I forgot all about that."

"Serves you right for being cocky," Levi says before walking off.

Jean is sitting in the dining hall with the rest of our friends. Relief washes over his face as he sees me.

"How'd it go?" he asks, making space for me beside him.

"I'm now under the close supervision of Levi and Hanji. Apart from that, I'm able to return to my normal duties."

"Why the Captain and a squad leader?" Connie asks.

I shrug. "Erwin probably thought I would have a better chance if I had two people watching over me. Whatever the case it worked and it's not like Levi isn't constantly keeping an eye on me anyway."
