Flashing Eyes

Hanji doesn't know how to tell a whole story.

Levi's POV*

I had been eating breakfast when that little thorn in my side showed up.

"Hey! Levi!" She ran over to me, personal space immediately disregarded.

I sighed and looked up. "What is it, shitty glasses?"

"I came up with this new serum that should enhance senses and strength! I was wondering if I could try it out on you."

I looked at her with a disdainful expression, scoffing. "Why me? You're in the Survey Corps, shouldn't you be trying it out on the brat over there?" I shifted my gaze to Yeager across the room.

"I would, but there are two many variables seeing as he's-"

"Okay, I know why. But I still don't want you tampering with my DNA, shitty glasses."

"But Leeevvviii~! It might even make you taller! Pleeeaaassseee?" She pouted and I was starting to get annoyed. I knew from experience

that she wouldn't stop asking until I relented.

I sighed. "Fine. If you turn me into a snail or something I'm going to murder you."

"Yayy! Thank you!" She grinned and grabbed my hand, sprinting the entire way to her lab.

"Slow down! You're going to trip me!"

"Grow some longer legs, shorty!" I growled at the nickname and and walked into her lab as she pulled to a stop.

"Okay, sit down while I get the serum." I sat down on the seat where people like me who had been roped into her experiments typically sat.

Hanji walked back out with a frighteningly huge grin.

She stood next to me and rubbed the inside of my elbow with an alcohol swab. She then jabbed the serum filled needle into my skin, and even though I only breathed inward just little enough that it wasn't even a gasp, it still stung like hell.

"Okay, I want you to stay here for a while to see if there are anything happens."

"I'm not going to stay here a moment longer than I have to." I stood to get up walking to the door, when suddenly my breath left me, my legs giving way under me. Everything in my vision seemed to slowly darken and fold in on itself.

***

"Hello~? Anybody home?" I opened my eyes to find Hanji staring at me.

I shoved her away. "I'm not some spectacle, shitty glasses!"

She just chuckled.

"Uh, Levi? You might want to see a mirror." She handed me one, which I took hesitantly.

I nearly dropped it when I saw my reflection.

Eren's POV*

I was sitting in the mess hall for dinner when a horrible screech echoed through the rooms. Everyone seemed to quiet down immediately, everyone looked towards the hall, where it had clearly issued.

"What the hell was that?" I heard Jean say. I was about to say some snarky remark when another shout echoed, more clearly enunciated this time.

"No! I refuse!" We all immediately knew who had said it. When he issued commands they were pretty damn hard to forget unless you wanted to do extra chores for months on end.

Murmurs spread throughout the mess hall.

"Was that Corporal?"

"Woah, I had no idea anyone could shout like that."

They all stopped talking when a deep growl rattled out, along with the sounds of someone scratching things.

We were all turned to the hall's opening when they appeared.
They happened to be an incredibly scratched up Hanji and... No... Oh my god, it's really is the Corporal!

He had cat's ears which were flattened down on his head, and a tail, which was waving angrily behind him. He had his arms crossed, scowling. He turned to Hanji and said with vehemence, "I fucking hate you." His eyes glinted angrily, flashing with loathing. You could just see how very pissed he was.

She only laughed. "Well, as you all can see, Levi is undergoing a test of a serum at the moment. Since I need someone to watch over him and make sure he doesn't do anything to render my tests useless, I'll need the help of..."

I slunk down I my seat, desperately praying she didn't choose me to have to spend time with the captain.

"...Eren!"

Ah, fuck.
