My Little Brat

The Appointment

Third Person

Levi and Eren had begun and finished most of their planning in only a few short weeks. Invitations had been sent, venue set, and yet there were still three months before they would be united in marriage. Three agonizingly long months.

Levi awoke next to Eren and rolled slowly. He was groggy and tired, but he sat up in spite of his morning haziness, got dressed and kissed Eren's forehead. As the dark haired male made his way to the kitchen he grabbed a pen from the desk, and the pad of paper, magnetically hung from the fridge.

" Out to the doctor's, not sure how long I'll be gone. Remember to get the groceries. Love you.
~Levi "

He left the note on the coffee pot and grabbed his travel mug, heading out the door.

~~~~~~~~

" Mr. Levi Ackerman?" Called a disembodied voice, seeming to come from the ceiling.

Levi sighed and stood, walking to the desk and signing in. He was directed to a door to the left and was told to put the antibacterial gel on his hands, as if he needed to be told.

He did as instructed and entered the back. His weight, height, and heart rate were checked before he was guided to his own checkup room. Levi's eyes wandered in the room as his blood pressure was taken, it already seemed as if this visit was going painfully long. Having sat in the waiting room for over an hour, it was already nine o'clock, and he didn't expect this checkup to take so long. Hopefully, it would quicken soon.

He was wrong.

The doctor came in after another half hour, and now Levi had grown slightly impatient. The doctor gave him directions to do this and that, but when they took the blood, Levi felt uncharacteristically lightheaded. It was a small extraction of the red fluid, yet he felt it instantly draining his energy. He brushed it off, it was probably because of his skipping breakfast.

The doctor left, leaving Levi alone once again. He sighed, groaning as he stretched.

Another hour later the doctor entered again, looking gloomy and concerned.

Levi noticed it and looked to the doctor expectantly, " Doctor? What is it?"

The physician looked up at the man sitting upon his examination table with weary eyes, sad and full of worry. " Mr. Ackerman, I'm going to need you to follow me. "

Levi nodded and slid from the table, standing straight as the doctor opened the door and exited, Levi trailing behind.

They reached a room full of different scanning machines and Levi's stomach dropped, as well as his spirits. He inwardly groaned as the doctor instructed him to lay in one of the large machines.

He followed his orders and laid in the small bed-like table of the machine.

After being scanned several times Levi was taken by a nurse back to his examination room.

~~~~~~

The doctor appeared once more, and he eyed Levi the same way as before, but with a more intense aura of sorrow and pity. " I'm afraid, Mr. Ackerman, that you have developed..." He trailed slightly, " A brain tumor..." The doctor continued.

Levi's eyes widened, his heart stopped, and he froze. The whole world stopped moving in that second, as his heart seemed to plummet into an inescapable abyss of darkness.
