the pretty doctor ' hanji zoe x reader

one | the death of sawney and bean

hanji sent the (h/c-ette, brunette, ravenette ect) a charming smile before leading them into the building that the scout regiment would be staying at — it was slowly creeping into night and the lit torches hung up on the corridors gave the castle the creepy vibe could only think it was made to have at night. "hi there, squad levi!!" the taller of the two exclaimed, slamming the large wooden door open with a large grin on her face. (y/n) flinched as the door banged against the brick walls, probably setting a few of them loose.

"this is doctor (y/n) (l/n), they'll be working alongside us from now on!" hanji stated, causing said doctor to freeze on the spot before they looked up to meet the kind eyes of most of captain levi's squad. they gave a polite wave to the group, the tiniest of smiles on their face as they regrew their usual confidence, "i look forward to working with you all!" there was a series of polite introductions from the members of 'squad levi', before the conversation shifted onto what topic was being talked about last. (y/n) sat down at the wooden table, the chair scraping against the floor as they tucked themself in. they went to apologise before a lovely lady named petra, shook her head and gave a small smile.

the (h/c-ette brunette, ravenette ect) was staring off into space until their name was mentioned yet again — a bad habit they had picked up from her uncle — their eyes locking onto captain levi's. "petra will be taking you to your room, it may not be amazing but you'll have to work with what we've got," he explained, leaning further into the chair he sat on before taking a sip of his tea — he held the cup an odd way (which was one of the few things (y/n) had managed to pick up on his behaviour). they shrugged it off as a habit and got up from their chair, smiling and bidding everyone goodnight before walking out of the room with cadet petra. "how are you liking your stay with us so far, (y/n)?" the red head asked politely as they began to walk up the staircase that lead to the second floor.

"it's definitely not what i expected but i think i'll get used to it," the older of the two explained, a few random hand motions being used for emphasis. "i used to be a cadet in the scout regiment and this was the place i stayed in, but it's an absolute wreck compared to how beautiful it used to be. i can only imagine how much dust there is..." (y/n) rambled on, a frown tugging at the corners of their lips as they remembered their original days in the survey corps — not the best thing they could've chosen to do to be honest.

"oh? you used to be a cadet before?!" petra asked in confusion, a hint of excitement in her voice as she spoke to the older (and slightly taller) doctor. it was exciting to be working alongside another person in the military, as a lot didn't choose to join and instead went to work in the farms after wall maria broke. "yes! it wasn't exactly the career for me, so with permission i left the military and went to study to become a fully fledged doctor," the (h/c-ette brunette, ravenette etc) told the ginger girl with a soft smile on their face.

eventually, their conversation was over as they reached where (y/n) would be staying. "this is your room! there's a bedroom and shower connected to the office.. section commander hanji's room is next door!" petra stated digging around in her jacket pocket before producing a bronze key on a loop and then gave it to the doctor, "have a good night!" soon, the ginger turned on her heel and walked down the wall, causing (y/n) to let out a loud sigh — their social battery was draining. they fiddled with the key for a few moments before managing to unlock the door to their new room, using their shoulder to barge it open since it was quite stiff. maybe the hinges needing oiling.

they walked into the room and was pleasantly surprised with how spacious it was — considering this was just the office they could only imagine how the other rooms looked. (y/n) approached the desk picking up the cream envelope that sat in the middle, they tilted their head, noticing that it wasn't addressed to anyone she opened it. there was a small silver key, pretty cold to the touch as they held it between two of their fingers. "a desk key?" they walked around the desk to look for a drawer with a lock, but there wasn't one. "maybe it's just for a self keepings box." they slipped it back into the envelope and set it down before making a beeline to their bedroom — time for a rest.

they walked onto the scene in their regular clothes, sticking out like a sore thumb since they didn't have a scouts uniform yet. soon, (y/n) managed to track down captain levi, who was in the back of the crowd as they watched section commander hanji have a breakdown over the death of her two titan experiments. "sorry i got here late," the (h/c) haired doctor apologised quietly, earning a small nod from the short captain — the two were similar in height. "we're leaving now, the rest is up to the military police," he explained, before turning on his heel and walking away with the commander of the survey corps in tow.

they frowned slightly, inching their way to the front of the crowd that slowly died down to the sobbing hanji zoe who sat by the rotting corpses of two oddly positioned titans. (y/n) placed a soft hand on the brunette's shoulder, causing her to flinch before she turned around to face the former scout, she let out something that sounded like a strangled sob before clinging onto the doctor. "oh my... they were important to you, weren't they?" they asked curiously, placing a hand on her back as they began to rub small circles there.

they earned a small nod and a sniffle before the scientist pulled away from the hug, standing there with a smile slowly coming back and a blush dusted on her cheeks. "let's go get some tea, you can tell me all about your experiences with the two titans," (y/n) proposed with a small smile, attempting to cheer the glasses wearing scientist who nodded before speaking up, "their names were sawney and bean."

as the cadets underwent an equipment check, hanji zoe and (y/n) (l/n) found themselves in the brunette's office, drinking freshly brewed tea. "wow! i could say this rivals shorty's tea, how'd you make it?" the scientist asked curiously, taking a big gulp of the black tea in a pretty porcelain cup. "one scoop of tea leaves for the tea pot, one for every person, then half a scoop for extra strength!" (y/n) declared proudly, clasping their hands together, "my auntie taught me how to make tea, she had a strange obsession with it and even taught me how to make my own blends."

"oooh that's interesting! you should definitely tell me about that sometime!" hanji exclaimed with a large grin on her face, it definitely reached her eyes and (y/n) saw no trace of sadness from the incident that took place barely an hour ago. the (h/c) haired woman wore a similar smile, however it was slightly smaller, they then spoke up, "i'll definitely tell you some more about it sometime!"
