Chapter 17 : Mental Condition

3 Days Since the Ambush

Levi's POV

  "Sh*tty Glasses, where's (Y/n)?"

  "Levi, she's still in the infirmary.. She's never left Theo's side since he's went in."

  Ever since that ambush, (Y/n) as been mentally unstable. She physically doesn't show it, but I can see past her expressions. She's staying strong for him, and she's saying she's fine, but really she's not. She's worrying me, and I don't like it. It makes me feel....weird.

  "Are you worried about heeerr?" Hanji sings.

  "Of course I am sh*t face. She's my cadet and a fellow cadet has been injured by an unknown threat! Of course I'm worried!" 

  "No! I meant 'worried' as in 'in love' worried." I could feel my face heat up, but I dare not say anything. Only to have her conclude more.

  "Your secret is safe with meeeee!" 

~~~~~

  I can hear Erwin give his sh*t speech to the new recruits. I and my team was excused, surprisingly, from the ceremony for 'mental' purposes. Although, I could agree for one, but the others are in in perfect condition. 

  She's still not accountable for. She hasn't shown up for breakfast, lunch, nor dinner. No one as seen her leave the infirmary room, unless she went to shower, change clothes, or to get books. I've seen her leave during the night to make up for training she's missed. Her hair in front of her eyes as she trains and her whole body shakes with anxiety and fear.  It bothers me. She needs to talk this out, or at least keep in check with herself more where her health isn't plummeting. Although I would be a hypocrite if I were to say this to her. I don't even do that, I choose not to admit it. I have my reasons, she has hers, but.....something about it doesn't seem right.

  These stupid cadets are so annoying. Disgusting as well, don't know how to keep clean. D*mn paperwork as well keeping me busy.

SLAM

  "Sir! They know what's wrong with Cadet Theo Moon! Come quickly!"

  I stand quickly making my way towards the infirmary, but not without letting the new cadet know about entering without permission. Once I make it, I see no (Y/n) in sight.

  "What's his condition?" I ask.

  "He's been blackened.....a poison, very rare, and very untreated. There's only one known antidote, but.....it requires the blood of a Light Magical. As you all may know....they've disappeared long since the Light Blood Wars 2,000 years ago. So death is likely for Mr. Moon here. He'll have maybe 3 months to live."

  She's crushed. I can feel it. I look over at Theo and walk over to him as everyone bickers over maybe another antidote. I grasp his hand, only to have a response of a squeeze. I stare at his eyes which are focused on me. He motions me closer to him. As I lean forward, he whispers to me.

3rd POV

  Levi's eyes grow worried and wide at the information he receives. The others don't notice as Levi repositions his posture only to stare at the wise Theo Moon. Theo with a heart warming smile on his face. Levi grasps onto to something in his hands, while also grasping on to the new information. Information he must keep to himself until the time is right. And only then will he know the full truth about two cadets.

  2 cadets that were mysterious from the start.

  2 cadets that were inseparable from the beginning to end.

  2 cadets that watched each other's back no matter the situation or commands.

  2 cadets that trusted each other with their own lives.

  2 cadets....started it all....from the beginning to end......they are family....they loved for one another....2 cadets that will do anything for the other if deemed necessary.

  Those cadets by Theo and (Y/n) Moon.

Their secrets are about to spill to a certain Corporal and he's in for a surprise.
