|23| 57th Expedition pt. 1

Hanji's POV

"Hey, Erwin!" I welcomed myself in, seeing the Commander behind his desk, probably going over some final changes with the upcoming expedition.

"Hanji, to what do I owe the pleasure?" He looked up at me, hearing the door slam shut.

"Oh nothing in particular, I just have a question about my dear friend (Name) that you may know about," I got straight to the point, and he rose a brow.

"Back when (Name) was first here, she was so happy and ecstatic about everything, and now that she's here again I can't help but notice she's the exact opposite," I sat down in the chair across from him, and crossed my arms as I got comfortable. He knows I'm not leaving without my answers.

"Yes, I've noticed that too," he set his pen down, leaning back in his chair with a huff. He then went on and explained everything about (Name) and Levi.

"Oh," it clicked in my head, and I huffed.

"Of course Levi is involved with her being down in the dumps," I leaned my cheek up against my hand that rested on the arm of the chair.

"I've been doing my best to make her feel better, but she is beating herself up about it," he said. "I don't know what to do, I feel like I've tried everything," I hummed, looking past the man and through the window. The sun was starting to set.

"Why don't you go give her a surprise visit?" He rose a brow in curiosity, and I laughed.

"Erwin, you only live once! I've seen the way you looked at that girl the moment you started training her way back when," I stood.

"She always comes to you, now it's your turn. Surprise her and distract her for a little bit to keep her mind off of Levi, whether that is by going on a nice sunset walk or," I wiggled my brows. I gained a chuckle from the man who stood, shaking his head.

"A walk sounds nice," he ignored the last part I said, ushering us out of his office.

"Thank you, Hanji," he said as I walked down a different hallway, and I threw up my hand with a thumbs up.

(Name's) POV

I rolled my shoulder, looking at my arm as I left the Infirmary. My stitches have been taken out, and the doc said I am free to do anything I want. Granted I've been doing that the past week in a half.

Physical therapy has gone as best as I had assumed it would. I'm not trying to talk to Levi as much, I want to give him some space. And some space I'm giving with him literally touching me everyday to help stretch and lift.

"(Name)!" I looked over to where I heard my name, and my eyes lit up and a smile went to my lips.

"To what do I owe the pleasure, Commander?" Erwin smiled back, catching up to me as I slowed my walk.

Erwin has been a huge help with everything that's been going on with me and Levi. He's been making me feel safe and able to forget everything that's been going on.

"Please, you know it's Erwin," I felt my heart flutter at his correction.

"You finally got your stitches out?" He asked, and I nodded.

"Yup, the doctor said I'm all good to go," I rolled up my sleeve and showed him my arm.

"Look! The physical therapy with Levi is working," I turned and showed him my bicep, flexing as hard as I can.

He chuckled, nodding his head.

"You might be able to take me on one day," he teased, and I gasped.

"Saying I can't right now?" He didn't answer, making me turn and nearly break my neck looking up at him.
