Hidden Secrets

Bedrest

"Are you fucking kidding me?!" Levi growled.
"Yep, your leg will need 2-3 weeks to heal enough for you to return to your usual practices" Hanji repeated, as she packed up the rest of her supplies, "and especially no using your ODM gear. Got that?" Levi groaned in annoyance. Although hanji was a very aberrant person, she excelled at many things, one of which included medical practice. "Also I recommend you stay in the infirmary for about 3-4 days so the nurses can check on you, and replace your bandages as needed-"
"What about-"
"Don't interrupt me," she continued, "meals will be brought to you until then so don't even try to use that as an excuse, when you need to use the lavatory call one of the nurses, they'll assist you there. Now. I must be going, take care Levi" she called out letting the door slam behind her.

Mikasa was almost running as she headed to the basement, where Eren was asleep. She reached the basement and burst through the door. The guards immediately stiffened, shifting to see who had entered. They relaxed when they saw Mikasa, she was well known between them as, her and Armin would sometimes go there at night to just hang out, reminisce-usual best-friend stuff. Mikasa visibly relaxed as she saw erens sleeping body, chest heaving up and down as he slept. She walked towards the cell, guards nodding as they opened the door slightly allowing her in. As she sat down she began to realize how chilly the room actually was. She'd been helping unload shortly after they'd arrived, even for just coming back from an expedition Mikasa still had lots of strength. She had worked tirelessly sometimes catching the impressed eyes of other comrades, and even Erwin. Now she sat next to Eren, her shirt sweat drenched breath slowing down as she watched the sleeping boy. Minutes passed and she just sat there staring, she'd never admit it to his face but she loved watching Eren sleep, he looked so sweet and innocent without his usual scowl, and it brought many memories to the carefree days before the Titans attacked the wall. Tears welled up in her eyes but didn't make it out, as the guard grunted as a sign it was time for her to go. She nodded in acknowledgment, before standing up, and walking towards the bars where the guard was waiting, but suddenly she turned around and walked back to Eren sliding off her cloak and laying it over his body. The guard which she remembered his name to be Heith, opened the cell door and let her out. As was about leave she called out "Hey Heith, tell Eren to give me back my cloak when he can"
"Sure" he called back
"Thanks" nodding even though he couldn't see her, before promptly leaving.

Mikasa began to head towards the dining hall where she would meet up with the others, she was almost it there when she heard a sing songy voice calling her name. "MIKASSAAA" she stopped and slowly turned around, to face hanji who was now racing towards her.
"Yes?" She halfheartedly brought her arm up in a salute.
"Phsh no need for that" she waved her hand, as Mikasa let hers drop to her side. "Annnyyywayyyy, can you bring Levi-what was that you called him the other day-" Mikasa opened her mouth slightly in shock,
"You heard that?" Ignoring her question hanji continued
"ah yes, mr I'm so high and mighty, that really is a hilarious nickname." Mikasa silently shrugged, "I'm rambling, back to the point, can you bring shorty is food please, I would but I have other things to do." Mikasa opened her mouth to protest,
"Please don't make me give him his food" she mumbled. A grin spread over the crazy woman, "Then I order you to bring shorty his food. Not to bring up touchy subjects but your partially responsible for the fact he can't walk." Mikasa knew she'd lost and softly sighed in defeat,
"Where should I pick up his food?" She mumbled.
"It should be ready in the kitchen on a tray" the scientist replied before speed walking away.

Levi had been staring at the ceiling twiddling his thumbs annoyance when he heard a knock on the door. "About time" he grumbled, sitting up. The door opened and he expected to see the crazy energetic scientist, but instead was greeted by a calm raven haired girl.
"What are you doing here brat"
"Hanji ordered me to bring you your food" she plainly stated .
Damn it shitty glasses
As she spoke, he took a moment to study her. He noticed the hollow look in her eyes, the dark circles that framed them, and what shocked him was how pale her skin was, it looked almost translucent. She looked horrible.
"When was the last time you ate" he snapped. Taken aback by his question she took a minute to reply.
"Um. Breakfast I think" knowing how little she ate, she was probably running on a piece of bread. That wasn't enough to suffice her, or anyone for that matter especially with the hectic day they'd had. His thoughts were interrupted by her shoving the tray at him. She then sat down in the chair across his bed looking longingly at the food as he began to eat.
"What are you doing" he questioned
"Waiting for you to finish"
"Stop staring at me then"
"Fine" annoyed she stood up to leave she headed towards the door.
"Ackerman wait" she spun on here heel, looking worse than she did just seconds ago.
"What!?" She replied sharply. As he was about to continue her eyes grew slightly wider and rolled to the back of her head. "Shit" he hissed out, if she fell she'd hit her head against the edge of the window sill and probably get a concussion. He jumped out of his bed, a jolt of pain riding up his leg, he barely made it to her using his hand to protect her head. They both fell and before hitting the ground, Levi blacked out from the pain.

Levi's eyes opened partially the pain in his leg had returned to a throb, he groaned and attempted to shift before remembering what had happened. Mikasa's body laid sprawled on the ground, his hand cradling her head, blood oozing through his fingers. Apparently he hadn't shielded her head as well as he'd thought. She shifted and he brought his attention to her, her lip was bleeding probably from accidentally biting it while falling. He grimaced, using his free hand to wipe the blood away "filthy" he mumbled. Hanji took that exact moment to enter,
"Levi I-" her eyes grew wide, as she noticed her head in his hand"LEVIII I DIDNT KNOW YOU WERE SUCH A PERVERT" she squealed.
"Dammit shitty glasses, she fucking passed out" he spat. Hanji rushed to the jumble of bodies, just as she reached them Mikasas eyes shot open, her onyx eyes cloudy,
"Shit" she hissed, attempting to get up.
"Ackerman keep your sorry ass on the ground."  Levi commanded, ignoring him she wobbled on her knees before whipping her head to face him,
"I'm fine" she slurred before promptly standing up. "See" she brought a hand to her wound, before stumbling towards Hanji. She took two steps forward and fell face flat. Hanji rushed towards her, picking her up and slinging her over her shoulders. About to exit she turned to Levi,
"I'll tend to her, and then come back to you and see what I can do. Good job by the way if you hadn't shielded her head, she probably would have gotten a worse injury." Hanji gave him a sad smile before leaving.

Levi stayed in the ground for a little longer before dragging himself back to his bed. He'd lost his appetite, after seeing the brat sprawled on the ground sickly,pale, as blood oozed from her lip and head. Her Raven hair, caked with blood has been wrapped around his hand before she'd shaken it free it . He didn't know why becuase he'd seen worse; but this disturbed him. Levi slumped in his bed, leg aching more after the journey from the floor to his bed he mulled over earlier that day when he'd saved her life from the female Titan.

He didn't know what came over him, he just had felt the need to act. He'd lost so many that day, including his squad, he didn't want to loose any one else. His mind wandered from thought to thought vision going blurry as he fell into much needed sleep.
