Remembrance ; Levi

C. 35 | Needles

Curled up in a small ball in the corner of your room, you couldn't help but let out tiny whimpers.

The familiar sensation of needles stabbing your back again and again almost made you want to just die.

Arching your back, you winced at the pain.

A knock came at your door. "Go away!" You groaned, thinking it was Hana.

Instead, Erwin opened the door.

"Er-chan," you stated, weakly.

Now, you let yourself crumple to the ground- your figure limp.

"Is it time already?" He asked.

You grimaced. "Oh no, I just randomly have these attacks."

He stayed silent.

"That was sarcasm," you supplied, letting out a sharp yelp.

"I can hear you all the way from my office."

"Fucking deal with it," you writhed on the ground.

He closed the door.

"Wait, Erwin!" You sat up, doing your best to ignore the pain.

The door opened again.

"Will the two teams be okay?" You looked up at him.

He nodded. "Those two teams..."

"They're very talented. Don't underestimate them."

You smiled, a little. "I'm not underestimating- just...thinking."

"You're thinking too hard."

The door clicked shut again.

Sitting in comfortable silence, it wasn't long until the pain began to start again.

Reaching to the bed, you soon had Mr. Bunny clutched to your chest, hugging it tightly- your arms turning red.

'It...hurts.'

'But the only think I can do is endure it.'

With a tense frame, you pulled yourself off the ground. The world seemed to be spinning when you closed your eyes. Fuzzy yellow dots appeared whenever your eyes fluttered shut.

With agonizing pain, you managed to open the door. The searing needle sensation was enough to make you almost pass out.

'But s.would make everything easier.'

Clamping your teeth together, you took a step out the door. With no destination in mind, you ambled out.

"(Y/N)?"

"...(Y/N)?"

You tightly shut your eyes, trying to ignore the shaking.

"(Y/N)!"

At this, you opened your eyes, an annoyed expression on your face. "What it is?!" You looked into the eyes of a certain soldier.

"Are you...okay?"

You sat up, careful to not make any loud yelps and whimpers. The pain hadn't gone away yet. "Uh, yeah. I-I'm fine." You took a deep breath.

He held out a hand. "C'mon, get up."

Gratefully, you accepted his hand.

"Hey. You guys are back," you smiled. "How did it go? Did you block it off?"

He pumped a fist in the air. "It was-!" He quieted and had an expression of fear. "What?" You asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Levi-heichou!" He saluted.
