Broken Hearts, Severed Limbs (Levi x OC x Erwin)

|46| "I lost it,"

Levi rushed towards the room that the doctor had pointed him to in the Hospital of Trost, but Hange got in the way before he had the chance to enter. She pulled his hand away from the doorknob and she shut the door again. Levi couldn’t care less about why Hange wasn’t letting him in. He didn’t give a shit about what she was about to say. Nathalie was in there. She was in there, and he needed to see her.

“Wait! You need to give her some time-” Hange tried to say, but he cut her.

“She’s alive, isn’t she?! Get out of my way!” Levi growled grabbing Hange by the shirt.

“Please, Levi,” Hange said. Both hands found his shoulders. She sighed. She hadn’t told him. Nathalie wouldn’t want her to tell him. “She doesn’t want to see you right now,”

The words felt like daggers stabbing right through his heart. Why?! Why wouldn’t she want to see me? Hange hadn’t given any details. She hadn’t said anything. She just reassured him that Nathalie was alive, but she didn’t seem happy about that. She just said they had taken her in a hospital in Trost, and that she was recovering. But there was something more to it, and he wanted to find out. Something serious had happened to Nathalie and it drove him insane not knowing what that was.

He didn’t care whether she wanted to see him or not. He only cared about making sure that she was okay. Levi pushed Hange out of the way, and he barged in the room anyway.

“No! Wait-” Hange tried to say but Levi snapped the door closed. Hange tried to get in and pull him out, but Moblit stopped her. Moblit’s hand found its way around her waist, urging her back to crush against his chest and Hange groaned smacking his hand. “Let me go, Moblit!”

“They need to talk,” Moblit said and she turned and looked at him. “He has a right to know,”

Hange sighed heavily. A hand reached for her goggles, pushing them on her forehead and she rubbed her tired eyes beneath. Moblit was right. She had to admit. That was a problem that Levi and Nathalie could only talk through with each other.

“I know…” Hange admitted. “…I just wanna be there for her as a friend,”

Moblit’s hand slipped around her shoulders. He gave her a smile and he opened his mouth to speak, but Hange spoke first when she turned around and looked at the kids.

“Wait! Where are you kids going?” She asked as she watched Jean, Mikasa, Armin, Connie and Sasha leaving.

They stopped halfway the hall. “We’re going at Jean’s to make an omelette,” Connie answered and Hange raised an eyebrow.

“Five people to make an omelette?” Hange asked, crossing her hands against her chest.

“It’s gonna be one hell of an omelette,” Jean smirked.

“Nathalie’s been taking care of us when were bedridden,” Mikasa explained. She shrugged. “It’s time we do the same,”

Hange and Moblit did not try to fight their smiles back. “Alright, kids. Moblit and I will go find where Eren and Historia are. Once we find out, we depart immediately. Let your Captain know when he comes out,”

The kids saluted her. “Yes, ma’am!”

Levi found himself hesitant. He smelled blood. She had lost blood. She was probably still haemorrhaging. Her body, folded. Fingers had been clutching on her lower belly. He could tell she was crying and weeping. It broke his heart watching her. He had never seen her cry so much. He had never seen her in pain like this. Nathalie was always the strongest-looking one. She was always the one to pull him in a hug and comfort him, and speak to him logically and make him feel better. But now, the vulnerable one was her.
