Hearing and Heartbreak pt 2

“Is she quiet now?” called Erwin from his seat. Levi slumped over toward Hanji. His body had finally given out. He knew that it wasn’t wise to have come here. But, he had to prove he was strong. Instead he only proved that he was sick and potentially dying. It was just so cold

The king looked at Tyleen before at Erwin. "I guess she is." He said happy she was finally quiet. He seen how Levi was seeing him potentially die.

He looked at Levi. "Levi, since you were following orders, did you try to have a relationship outside of it being orders?" The king asked Levi.

Levi couldn’t answer. His body felt like ice. Everything was stuck. His mind cried out for Erwin to stop talking, stop lying. He only looked sadly up at Tyleen’s face, he didn’t even have enough energy to look innocent. To show how outraged he felt.

Erwin kept digging this story deeper, telling the trial about how he and Levi planned their entire plot and kept it up because it seemed to be working.

His heart broken, Levi collapsed to the floor, having lost his will to fight, and to continue living. He fell sideways to the ground, landing slumped on his good arm.

Hanji listened to Erwin and she knew Erwin was just trying to keep Levi out of trouble. She helped him back into his chair and she rubbed his back gently she listened to Erwin and frowned hearing the story. It was believable but it was a hard story

Tyleen listened to the story erwin was telling. She kept her eyes trained on the floor. How could she be so stupid? How did she expect the captain of the survey corps, humanity's strongest, the person everyone up here admires to love her? All she was was someone from the underground that made their life hard when she came up here. Tyleen couldn't look at anyone she felt embarrassed that she fell for it. The red head took everything for Erwin to say to be true.

Once the king herd enough he put his hand up to silence Erwin. "Well, he's still suspended for duty for a while, and they can't be on the same mission. It's a creative idea on to get her to listen but we still can't even have fabricated relationships." He said.  "Court is adjorned."

When he said that Tyleen up up as she made her way out the court room and outside. She lit a cigarette as she walked replaying the whole story in her head.

Hanji seen Levi passed out after the court ended and she was upset with the king and she didn't think Erwin needed to be so harsh. She picked levi up as she headed back to the hospital talking to Levi telling him everything will be okay. She was pretty much the only one that fully supported their relationship. She wishes others would too

Waking up Levi was surprised to be back in the hospital wing. His side bandaged and arm in plaster and a sling. Everything was hazy and he could tell he was defiantly on some strong pain medication. Hanji was the only one left in the room as Erwin had some paperwork and other recruit training to see to.

"Good morning Levi!!" Hanji said looking at him and smiled happy to see her best friend awake. "How are you feeling?" She asked looking at him she was a bit hyper as she looked at him awaiting an answer hoping he wasn't in any pain

“I feel like someone dropped me on my head, thanks for asking what happened? Lag I remember was being in court.” He slurred his words out. They were almost incoherent.

Hanji listened. "In the court room you did fall over on your head" she said to him. "And the court ruled that you and Tyleen wont be on the same mission and you're suspended for a bit. But that's not to bad. Erwins story saved you from any harsher punishment" she said to him. "But you shouldn't worry about that now, you should get some rest." She said to him

“Wait what?? I mean, I’m glad we can’t be on the same missions, that means she’s going to be safe. If I’m on it, it must be dangerous. That’s good. But how long am I suspended for?” Levi was relieved. He didn’t have to worry about Tyleen being hurt anymore. He’d take the dangerous missions and keep her out of harms way. He’d keep protecting her.

"Just a few weeks like protocol states." Hanji said. "But that's enough time for you to rest up and heal. So in the end it's good you got suspended." She said to him. "And until you're fully healed Tyleen will be on the missions" she said to him. Hanji knew that he wanted to protect her so he'd take the more dangerous missions. But she wanted him safe to, he was her best friend. Hanji also didn't have the heart to tell him that Tyleen believed most of erwins story so she was upset. Hanji just wanted things to be calm for Levi for once where he wasn't mad or worried or upset.

“What!! But, the elites are gone. Everyone’s going to get killed! You have to let me out there! I have to go.” Trying to move his bandages restrained his ability to stand up, causing himself more pain as they constructed his stitches. Writing around he falls to the floor. Trying to stand up from here he just kept trying to fight but it didn’t work. Giving up he just lay there.
“She can’t get hurt because of this. Or I will never forgive myself”

Hanji quickly got up and went over there as she helped him up and put him back in bed. "Levi. You need to rest before you kill yourself. We'll find more elites. She'll be okay, everyone will be okay." She assured him. "Don't stress, after every mission Erwin and I will come here if you want." She said to him
