...Hiding...

You slammed your hands down on the table

You slammed your hands down on the table. "What?! They're planning to eat him?!"

Mikasa was leaning against the wall beside you. She didn't look pleased either. None of your friends did.

Hange explained a conversation that Eren remembered between Ymir and Bertholdt. It turned out that titans can turn back into humans by eating a human that has the power to turn into a titan. A bit confusing but easy to keep up with.

"In the battle the other day, Reiner threw titans at Eren Y/n as they tried to run away. He must've known that Eren had the power to take command of feral titans with his scream. I think he was hoping that one of those titans would eat Eren and take his power to make things easier."

"Thank God for Y/n, then," said Connie, patting you on the back. "Eren would've let himself get eaten if she never kissed him."

"WHAT?!" Hange lurched forward, shaking the table. "Eren and Y/n kissed already?!"

You smacked Connie on the head. "Quiet!"

"Stay on topic," muttered Levi, glancing at you disgustingly.

"My point is if the government has a titan of their own, they'll use it to eat Eren."

You scoffed. "Like he'll let them. I'll kiss him a second time if it means he'd fight back and win."

"Nobody's kissing nobody," said Levi, tiresomely. "Everyone, we're headed for Rod Reiss's Estate. Prepare to leave at once."

As you headed for the door, Hange put a hand on your shoulder. "If Rod Reiss wants you dead, then you should probably come with me and Moblit."

"Sorry, Hange, but hell no. I'm going with Levi to get Eren back."

"Y/n, if all three of you die, then this all would be for nothing-"

"Glasses," spoke Levi. "She'll be fine with me. Y/n, get suited up."

"Yes, sir." You followed the rest of them out to grab your ODM Gear.

By morning, the Levi Squad was split in half. Armin, Mikasa, and Jean entered Stohess. You, Sasha, and Connie stayed behind with Levi in the woods.

Strapped to your thigh was the very knife that Bertholdt had stabbed you with. You had kept it as a souvenir, giving it the name "Bolt." Maybe one day you would get the chance to return the favor.

Along with the hood over your head, Levi also tied around a white cloth, covering your nose and mouth. The masks that you and Eren used to have to clean up the old HQ. That felt like such a long time ago when it had been barely a few months.

"Captain, we bought the supplies," said Jean as they returned from town.

"The MPs were handing out these flyers," said Armin, handing Levi the paper.
