Captain Babysitter

❗️ Chapter 7 ❗️

•Levi's P.O.V•

I explained to Eren what had happened because he was confused as hell. Mikasa was still a child and since the two didn't meet while she was a child and Eren a teenager before now, he had no idea.

He was completely quiet first but then he stared at Hanji with that look. "Why...and why me..."

Mikasa was sitting beside Armin as he was reading a fairytale for her so she could chill down a bit from her enthusiasm.

"Have you learned your lesson yet, four-eyes?" I questioned. This crazy woman better stop using Eren as a puppet and act mature.

"Oh of course I have! Never ever use nitric acid – or as others would say, aqua fortis – in a poison again," she proudly said in a determined tone.

I inhale sharply and bite my bottom lip to avoid yelling at her. "When are you done?"

"Hm...it's taking a long time...and I need more acetone..."

"WHO EVEN USES SOMETHING AS POISONOUS AS ACETONE?!" I yelled at her.

"Don't worry! I mix chemicals to make a mixture that makes it less poisonous so it's totally not risky," she explained.

"Less poisonous," I mocked.

"Uhm Dr. Hanji...if you don't have acetone then..." Eren trailed off.

"Yeah, I'm worried that I can't make more because if we buy acetone then I still need a dangerous chemical we need to buy from underground and it's very rare so yeah..."

I groan and frustratingly rub my temples. "So Mikasa is staying a child?" Armin questioned.

"Oh no no, don't worry, as I mentioned some days ago, it takes half a month or so to get back to normal, but yeah, in the meantime she's staying a child," she told.

"Let's go outside and play then, hm Mikasa?" Eren chided at the little girl.

"Where's Eren! I need to find him!" she squealed. Oh, how fricking stupid.

"I...I'm here...Eren Jaeger, that's me..."

He lifted her up and took her outside and Armin followed them. At least I don't have to take care of two nor even one kid anymore. I cracked my knuckles and got up. "So we're not gonna attempt to buy that...rare chemical?"

She stared at me bewildered.

"What? No! Too dangerous, too risky and too expensive. Oh and also too impossible!" She shouted.

Then how in god's sake did she get that thing before now...ugh. Right now I just needed some rest that I didn't get from the previous days.

I left her lab and went to the kitchen to get a hot cup of relaxing black tea. As I prepared it, I saw two drawings on the table. I studied the details of it before I smiled. Yes, I smiled.

One of the drawings was a boy who was fighting against a titan and a crowd of people on the ground were cheering at him. The boy had brunette locks and a smirk plastered on his face.

At the bottom of the paper, Eren's name was written. He must have drawn it when he was a kid.

The other drawing was a girl and a boy who were hugging and smiling brightly. The girl had long raven hair and a pink outfit with brown polished shoes. The boy reminded of the guy from the previous drawing; brunette hair and emerald eyes. The only difference was that he was wearing village clothes instead of a soldier outfit.

There was a long red scarf that was tucked around them both, holding them even closer.

Definitely Mikasa's drawing.
