Switched

VIII

As soon as (F/N) entered the room, her eyes widened at the sight of multiple men and women in ill - fitting and skimpy clothes lifting things and doing weird exercises.

Apparently, Hans and Jenny brought her to a gym, she just didn't know it was called like that.

"So, this is what you call a gym." She quietly said as they made their way past numerous gym buffs looking at them with weird expressions on their faces.

"Ha, you can say that again! Oh!" Jenny answered as he saw a cute guy doing the push ups on his left.

"Well, it's filled with exhibitionists, I must say - "

"Sshh! They might hear you!" Jenny warned as he covered (F/N)'s mouth to prevent her from saying any more insults.

Taking Jenny's hand off her mouth, she said, "They won't! Stop overeacting!"

"Anyway, you're not planning anything evil now, are you?" Hans asked her as he turned towards her and touched her shoulders, making her turn and face him.

" ... nnnooo,..."

"What was that long pause for?!"

"Look! Stop questioning and just let me do my thing! Are we clear?"

"Now, that is the sound of someone with evil plans." Jenny declared as he brought his bag down on a floor mat.

"I don't have evil plans! I just want to see where the Levi in this world spends most of his time on." (F/N) answered

And it was the truth. Ever since accepting the fact that she won't be getting home anytime sooner, (F/N) has set her sights on getting to know Levi more. She knew that that the Shorty here was still an asshole but, she's fully aware that the version here was even worse than the one she knew. The Levi she knew might be considered as downright honorable, but the one in this timeline surely wasn't! Who, in their right mind, would leave someone who cares for them for another? That's just unacceptable and unforgivable!

She might not have any evil plans, as of the moment but, as soon as she gathered enough information regarding him, meaning the people he knew, his closest friends, his colleagues, his private life, that Goddamn bitch, hell, even the dirtiest of his dirty secrets, she will make her move and exact revenge on her counterpart's sake. She will do whatever it takes to make him pay, and she will not go home until that bastard's grovelling on the ground like the mangy mutt that he truly is.

Now, if only that cheating bastard would enter that door,...

With those thoughts deeply etched into her not - so - innocent mind, she put down her duffle bag next to Hans' and Jenny's and followed their example of first doing the body stretching, which was quite simple and effortless. Then, it was followed by brief sit - ups, which she also found quite easy.

And when she was about to take it up a notch and do the push - ups, she finally saw him enter the room, not by himself, but with the bushy - eyebrowed Commander, Erwin Smith, himself.

"Aha, there they are!" Jenny uttered as he wiped his sweat with his pink towel. "Always the fave among bitches."

And it was true. The moment Levi and Erwin made their way to their usual spot within the gym, all of the women, not to mention a handful of men, started staring at them like they were some kind of a scrumptious meal. And as soon as they settled their bags on the floor and took off their shirts, the women ( and those handful of men ) started looking like they were hyperventilating. Some even started screaming.

But, why? They're just a couple of lanky boys with six - pack abs! The Levi and the Erwin from her own time were much more ripped with their pronounced biceps, rock - hard thighs and legs, and their freaking eight - pack! And that's just those two! They haven't even seen Mike, yet!

(F/N) rolled her eyes as she went back to her training.

"Those bitches!" Jenny whispered next to (F/N) as he looked at the women, who stopped doing their work - out, just to watch the two newcomers do their own training.

"You can say that again!" (F/N) answered, making her voice intentionally louder. Some of the men turned to her direction in curiosity to see her. Her plan was going as expected. "I mean, I can do more than what they can combined!"

At the sound of his ex's voice, Levi turned to the far end of the room and saw none other than her, already at the center of the men's attention.

But, him seeing her in a chaotic place such as a gym?!

Impossible!

Unless,...

"(F/N), stop this! The men are staring! Levi is staring!" Hans whispered as he tried to conceal her from the perverts. Yes, she was the counterpart of his best friend. He just couldn't take it when men looked at her like that.

But, this is Section Commander (F/N) (L/N) they were talking about.

And Section Commander (F/N) (L/N) would never go down without a fight, Titan or no.

"Relax,..." (F/N) answered as she effortlessly moved Hans aside. Making sure that she could be seen by everyone, she grabbed the edge of her loose, white shirt and pulled it above her head, completely removing it and exposing her gorgeous upper body covered only by a black sports bra.

"Shit!" Levi swore under his breath as he saw what (F/N) just did,...

... and as his eyes wandered on her six - pack abs, perfectly toned arms, and lean shoulders.

Since when is she ripped like that?!

"Is that,... (F/N)?" Erwin asked, also bewildered of what he just saw. "I didn't know she's huge and muscular like that!"

"She is not huge and muscular!" Levi retorted nervously as he saw the feisty woman going to one of the weights and picking a particularly heavy one. She positioned herself and grabbed the thing,...

... and a few moments later, the men around her were already making a fuss of how ridiculously strong she was!

And (F/N) knew this, as well.

And she was just beginning,...
