Before Us (Levi Ackerman X Reader)

Chapter 19: The System

Three days passed by and she didn't stop thinking about Levi for even a second. Today they were going to release her from the hospital. They had nurses behind and in front of her, making her feel like a prisoner. The hallways they passed were filled with people who were still in the system. The youngest, ranging from 9-11, was the younger children group, followed by the older children group, young teenager, middle teenager, older teenager, and so on. They made a turn to a hallway to their right. A separate room full of people ranging from age nine and above were in it.

And that's where she saw him.

His still body, lying peacefully on a flat, stiff grey bed with a glass covering him. He had never looked so calm before. So vulnerable. Levi...she thought, moving closer to the window of the room.

"Levi," she muttered softly to herself.

"Ma'am," said one of the nurses in front of her, "we have to keep moving."

"He-He's still..." she muttered, Alive. Suddenly, she noticed small tears flowing down his pale cheeks.

"Levi!" She yelled as she banged her fists against the glass windows, "You idiot! I'm here! I'm alive! I'm alright!"

"Ma'am! Please don't hit the glass!"

"I don't fcking care! Levi! Wake up! Wake up! You idiot I know you can hear me wake up! I'm right here!" She ran off to look for the door to the room.

"Ma'am! Please you musn't!" They called after her.

She found the door and immediately went inside and ran over to Levi's pod. His body lay still except for his chest rising up and down.

"Levi!" she yelled, slamming her fists onto the glass of his pod, "WAKEUP! PLEASE! I'M RIGHT HERE!" Tears began forming in her eyes and began streaming down her cheeks.

"Ma'am! Please step away from the pod!' One nurse said, grabbing her arms and placing it behind her back.

"GET HIM THE FCK OUT OF THERE FOR FCK'S SAKE! GET HIM OUT!" She struggled and began to kick around trying to get out of their grip.

"Calm down please, ma'am. This isn't good for your health." Another nurse pulled out a syringe full of a clear liquid and she stuck it to the side of (y/n)'s neck.

"Ack...!" She yelped when the needle pierced her skin. "Levi! Captain! Le...Levi...You...idi...ot...Captain." What the hell... she thought, did they give me?

Her eyelids began to feel heavy as her vision began to grow blurry. She felt her body begin to feel like a heavy weight. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

His head began throbbing as he heard voiced of a familiar girl. Her voice echoed in his head and sounded faded, as if she was far away.

Levi!... You idiot!... I'm here...I'm...WAKE UP! You idiot! WAKE UP! GET HIM THE FCK OUT OF THERE....!

Levi couldn't understand anything. What did she mean by get him out? Out of where? Why was he hearing her voice? And why now of all times?

"Levi," Erwin said, cutting his train of thought, "is something wrong?"

"Tch," He scoffed, "it's nothing."

She woke up, her eyes still feeling heavy. Where-? Where am I? I don't...what happened...why am I...Levi..

She sat up instantly. A sharp sting stung the side of her neck. She placed her hand over it and touched the area which was covered with a thin rubber like substance. Those btches! Then she realized where she was. White walls with no windows surrounded her. There were two doors leading to a bathroom and a closet. Her body was buried underneath a thick, cold, white blanket.
