[Y/N Pov]

"So.. yesterday night, I heard some noises while talking to Eren. Who was outside?" I choked on my food because of Hange's words. I forgot Hange was supposed to talk to Eren about experiments and it looked like they stayed up all night talking about that.

"Looks like we caught the culprit." Gunther said glancing at me while chewing his bread.

"Hmm y/n why were you moaning? And who was with you?" My head jolted to Hange's direction on her choice of words.

Oluo who was sitting across me on the table and he choked on his food this time, looking at me with widened eyes. And I could feel the gazes of people on me, my face red out of embarrassment. I shook my head at them.

I furrowed my brows at Hange who was looking at me, her eyes shining through her glasses or maybe it's just her glasses that shone. She was sitting at my right side, the very end of the table.

"Pardon me." I yelped at her. Panic evident on my face.

Realization hit her and she straightened her back, pushing the glasses on her nose back.

"Oh. Those were not the right words. I meant why you screamed? And at 'that' hour?" She said putting emphasis on the word 'that'.

"And who was with you?" She again said raising her eyebrows at me.

"She was with me." His cold voice which sent current down my spine said from the other end of the room, where the door was. I didn't turned to look at the owner of the voice, clearly knowing who he was.

"You and Captain.. I mean..." Eren stuttered looking at me. I shook my head furiously at him signaling him that whatever he was thinking was utterly wrong.

"What brat?" Levi sat at the left end of the table, ready to eat his breakfast kept in front of him on the table, and glanced at Eren. It was evident Levi didn't heard the conversation from the starting and came in between. Eren looked at Hange with confused eyes, who was almost chuckling at the situation.

"He thinks you and y/n did something, you know." Thomas, who was in the same squad as me, said, took the bread which was kept on the table and went away as if nothing happened. My eyes were shooting daggers at him until his figure went out of the room. If gaze could kill someone, Thomas would have been dead by now.

"We did so?" Levi's voice froze me on my spot.

What was he saying!? Is he insane.

"I cleaned the wounds on her elbow." He again said taking a bite of his bread and looked at Hange who was controlling her laughter.

"I didn't knew you were that rough Levi, you wounded her." Hange said and looked at him, then at me. And winked at me.

I immediately stood up from my chair and slammed my hand on the table, gaining attention from everyone.

"Stop! It isn't like that!"
I shouted at them. My face red from embarrassment. I heard chuckles from others, making me more red if it even was possible.

I looked at Levi who was looking at me with furrowed brows, still confused. Then realisation hit him. He glared at Hange who was now laughing out loud. I slumped down on the chair again, my face red out of embarrassment, slapping myself mentally.

"Geez, I was kidding." Hange again chuckled but I didn't looked at her. My gaze was fixed on the floor as it was the most interesting thing.

"Tch. I found her outside with bleeding elbow so I cleaned her wounds." Levi said emphasizing on each word clearly, irritation evident in his voice.

Gunther who was sitting at my left nudged me by his elbow and whispered "Sure nothing else happened?" I pinched his arm, causing him to jump at the pressure.

"Now what's with you?" Captain Levi asked Gunther who looked slight startled. Gunther glared at me and I gave him a mocking smile in return. I lifted my glass of water and was about to drink but the next thing made me almost drop the glass.

"I also want to do it with you both." Eren whispered looking at me but loud enough for everyone to hear.

"You WHAT!?" Eld who was sitting at my right side shouted out loud. I flinched at his voice. But again looked at Eren with widened eyes. He looked scared.

"Eren.." Hange started saying but was cut off.

"I also wanted to join you at the night training!" Eren stood and shouted.

Oh.

Eren was naive, he thought we are talking about training, the actual training we do everyday. I chuckled at Eren who had no clue as to what was happening.

"Kid. We were not talking about training. It is different but we can call it training too-" Oluo was cut off by Levi.

"Brats." He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. He looked annoyed, absolute annoyed.

"Out. Get out!" Levi snapped at all the cadets in a furious tone. I jolted up and ran to the door as if my life depends on it, and I am absolutely sure others did the same. As I was rushing to the door, it flunged open, causing all of us to fall back on the wodden floor with a loud thud. Moblit rushed through the door panting, panic evident in his face.

"Is Section Commander Hange here!?" He shouted, panic filling his voice.

"The test subjects.. both of the titans have been killed!" He continued looking at Hange's direction, who stood up from the chair with a gasp. My eyes widened at his words, Sawney and beane have been killed!? Hange rushed out of the room with super speed.

We all stood up from the floor, rushing to the stables to go to the place where the test subjects were kept. Once I reached the stables, I took tannie's reins, patting the head of the stallion and got on, to ride to the destination.

"Tell me, tell me it isn't happening!" Hange cried, her knees on the ground, her hands clutching her hair. She was desperate, fueled up with rage and sadness.

"They were such valuable test subjects.." Gunther who was standing beside me, whispered. We were standing in a distance from where the titans, well now their decomposing bones were kept.

"Did some soldiers do this?" He continued, now looking at Eld with worried eyes.

My gaze were fixed on Hange, she was still on the ground, shouting and crying.

"They have not yet found who's responsible." Eld responded with a stern voice. Petra smacked her elbow in Oluo's stomach for something he commented causing me to avert my gaze in their direction.

"How did this happen.." Eren who's face was covered with the hood mumered.

"Let's go. The next is the Military Police job." Captain Levi who was standing beside Eren said to all of us and made his way out of the place. I looked back at Hange again, feeling bad for her. But was assured because Moblit stood right next to her figure. His gaze fell on me, he smiled sadly, giving me a slight nod, telling me to go back with the others, to the castle.

"What do you see..?" The stern, cold voice lingered making me turn to the source to see Erwin leaning against Eren, his hands on Eren's shoulder.
"Who do you think the enemy is?" Erwin continued, his eyes glued on the decaying bones of titans. This man was upto something. I can sense it, that aura around him screamed he was planning a gamble again. But my mind averted to his words, his sentence repeating in my mind again and again. Then I felt a current run through my spine when I realized what he meant.

"A traitor.." I whispered, my eyes glued to the blond intellectual. He averted his gaze to me, but i didn't flinched. Keeping the intense eye contact with those blue eyes, trying to read his expression. He nodded his head in response causing a terror run through my body.
