kiss me hard before you go || Eren x Levi

fourth

Levi didn’t understand a lot of things.

He didn’t understand how the walls were built up perfectly. He didn’t understand how humans before the invention of the 3D maneuver gears eradicate the titans, sealing the gates of the walls. He didn’t understand what Erwin saw in him the first time they met that drove the man to recruit him. He didn’t understand why a lot of people die while some were spared.

He didn’t understand Eren. He didn’t understand how that boy was able to turn himself into a titan. He didn’t understand why Eren was looking at him that way the other day.  He didn’t understand Eren in general.

He didn’t understand a lot of things but that was okay with him because he knew how to deal with them. Not a proper solution but a solution regardless.

The walls? They protect them, that’s all that matters. Titans? Cut the back of their necks deep enough and they’re dead. Erwin? He was an arsehole who didn’t love him back, what was he to do? Eren? Ignoring him proved the best option.

The worst part of not understanding what Hanji was telling him about his supposed ‘condition’ was that Levi couldn’t work out a way to deal with it in his head. How was he – someone who had been through countless battles, familiarized with most military tactics – was to deal something he couldn’t wrap his finger around it?

It was preposterous, downright ridiculous – everything that Hanji was saying – that he couldn’t help but to just stare at the woman as she tried her best to explain the situation to him. She was on the verge of losing her buns off, Levi could see it, it was Hanji for God’s sakes! Her eyes were wild and glossy and she was making these movements with her hands that sometimes, she would touch Levi’s stomach – why was she doing that? She needed to stop.  She needed to stop before she drives Levi crazy.

“Squad Leader, yo-you should calm down,” Moblit tried to calm her; sounding nervous as always whenever he was around her. The amount of respect and admiration Moblit has for someone crazy like surpasses normal feelings an underling should be feeling for his superior, that was what Levi suspected.

“Calm down!?” Hanji shrieked, “Calm down? Calm down after knowing that Humanity’s Strongest is pregnant!?”

Levi groaned, the pounding in his head increased tenfold with each rise of Hanji’s voice, “Could you shut your mouth, you’re giving me a headache.”

Hanji clasped her hands over her mouth, muttering apologies. She then bid Moblit to leave the room and get Levi a glass of water. Once he obliged, leaving the room, Hanji sat back down on the chair by Levi’s bedside.  She tried to speak again but before she could Levi had a finger up, warning her that if she were to make a sound, he’d explode.

“You’re only allowed to speak once you’ve calm down, Hanji. Now, have you?”

Hanji nodded, still having that look in her eyes that just screamed mad man, or in her case, mad woman.

“And I don’t want you speaking nonsense. These theories on how I – an obvious male – could be pregnant, needs to stop-”
