~{Levi's POV}~

I heard a muffled "Come in" so I laid my hand on the cold door knob and turned it and walked in.

My cold grey eyes landed on her warm brown ones. They were filled with hope and joy, but I new she was in pain because of her injuries but she was fighting to reveal it.

She has bandages around her head from a mild concussion she got when she fell off her horse, bandaging around most of her torso up until around her naval area (her belly button). The abnormal broke most of her ribs and if he squeezed any longer he would've broken all of them and she more than likely would have a ruptured lung. Along with that, she had bruises, scrapes and a few cuts but nothing to major in those departments. The only other injury she had than those was a broken arm.

Honestly, it was a miracle that she got out of that with just that. She'll be stuck in the infirmary for a couple more weeks, but then around two weeks before even being able to go back to experiments. But, everyday I walk into her room and see her, it pains me. Usually seeing this happy, excited, and outgoing women everyday has turned into seeing a crippled and struggling women.

And I feel like it's all my fault.

I feel like, that if I had reacted earlier than when I did, things would've turned out a little better. That she might've been able to evade so many of her ribs being  broken or anything else. But it didn't happen like that. Now she's stuck in the infirmary and she can't do the only thing that makes her happy in this fucked up world.

I must have been staring for to long or something because Hanji's voice carved it's way through my thoughts and it eventually broke them. I walked over to the chair leaning against the wall and pulled up next to her bed and sat in it. "How are you feeling today?"

"How much better can I feel? I'm stuck in an infirmary with tons of broken bones". My face must have softened from its original stoic look because Hanji suddenly stopped speaking like she realized that I was still blaming myself for her injuries. "...Well, actually my head is feeling a little better. I don't have that much of a migraine as I did yesterday. It just downgraded to a severe headache...Listen Levi, I don't know how many times I have to tell you this, but my injuries aren't your fault. It was because of my own reckless and carelessness. I wasn't watching and the titan got me. It is not your fault."

I didn't respond. I just looked away and put on my normal face. "When do you want to change your bandages? After or before you eat?"

The brunette simply sighed and replied with, "After. Eren came in a little earlier and told me he was bringing in my breakfast in a little while. He should be here any minute."

I nodded. "Well, that brat better bring it soon. We need to change your bandages, they haven't been changed since last night. And I wanna see if the wound on your back opened up again." (A/N: idk if bandaging for broken ribs has to be changed that often or at all even, because I've never experienced that sorta thing but I'll do it anyway.)

As if on cue, there was a knock on the door and it slowly opened releasing a small creaking sound. Eren slowly walked in with a smile on his face while holding a tray of food. I stood up out of my chair and pushed it back. I walked over to the wall which had a window on it and pulled open the curtains. Sunlight flooded the room. The window had a view of the training yard with already a decent amount of recruits on it practicing.

~{Hanji's POV}~

When Eren walked in my room with the tray of food my face lit up. I had been starving and dying to eat breakfast since dinner last night. He set the tray down on my lap and I looked down to see what it was. It was the usual. Soup with a piece of bread and a glass of fresh water. But there was something in the soup. I stirred it around and I found it to be chicken!
