Surviving | Attack on Titan | Levi

Chapter Thirty-Three: Tests

After everyone was done eating (quietly and awkwardly, might I add), [Name] decided to explore the building, since searching for Eren didn't really count because she wasn't really paying attention to her surroundings. [Name] was wearing grey sweats with a loose fitting blue jackets. The zipper was zipped up only halfway, revealing her black tank top underneath. 

        [Name] walked quietly done the quiet hallway. The walls were painted white with nature pictures scattered over it. One was a picture of a baby elephant and it's mother, their trunks wrapping around each other in a loving way. [Name] thought it was adorable, but then she wondered out the outbreak affected the animals. Did they get bitten and turn? Did the zombies even show interests in them? Or did they all just die from being eaten alive and didn't turn? 

        These were questions Hanji would probably know. So, [Name] spun around on her heel and walked to Hanji's lab.





Eren's eyes were open in horror as Hanji brought the scalpel closer to his bitten arm. "I'm not comfortable with this!" Eren cried out as the cold metal finally made contact with his tan skin. Hanji raised her eyebrow then smiled, "Too bad."

        Eren cringed when Hanji pressed the sharp side of the scalpel into the bite. Blackish-red blood came running out, small drops of it rolling off and falling on the floor. Hanji pulled the scalpel away and set in on a paper towel then she turned to Erwin who was silent but watching closely. 

        "You're going to have to have Eld or someone clean this up afterwards, it could lead to an infection or turning," Hanji said quickly then turned back to Eren with a swab in her hand. Eren already knew what she was going to do -- take the blood sample from the bite and run tests on it. 

        After Hanji put the blood covered swab in a plastic tube, she bandaged up Eren's arm. "That's it for now," she explained, wrapping the white cloth around the bite. Eren sighed as Hanji and Erwin walked back out of the room. Later on in the day, Eld, the blonde they saw talking to Erwin when they first arrived, came in with a tray of food and a mop. He gave Eren the tray, which was nothing but an apple and juice pouch, then he quietly mopped up the blood and left. 

        Eren sighed then bit into the apple.







"Oh, hey [Name]," Hanji greeted once she stepped out of her lab and saw the [h/c] haired girl, "whatcha need?"

        [Name] smiled shyly. "Well, I actually have a question." Hanji gave her a curious look. "What is it?"

        [Name] sighed, "Do animals get infected too? Or to the zombies not pay them any attention?" Hanji was kind of surprised from the question, but mostly she wondered why [Name] wanted to know it. Of course she knows the answer, she is a scientist after all.

        "Zombies don't give them a first thought," Hanij explained, "their only objective is to eat and kill humans." [Name] frowned.

        "How come? I still don't get any of it."

        Hanji glanced out the window, her eyes following a brown feathered bird that was flying off into the distance. "I honestly don't get it myself. I've tried to brainstorm about it, but yet I get nothing that scientifically makes sense. The whole zombie thing doesn't even make sense to me. But I do know that it was man-made. Someone created this thing."

        "Why would they do that? They could die too." 

        Hanji closed her eyes. "Maybe it wasn't on purpose, or maybe it was but they weren't expecting it to end up like this. Or maybe all of it went according to their plan. No one knows except the person responsible."

        [Name] stood there, thinking about what Hanji just said. She was too deep in thought that she didn't even notice Hanji walk away. 

        "Hey."

        [Name] turned to where the voice came from, surprising herself it was Jean. "Oh, hey." 

        The hallway went silent once again, neither one of them knowing what to say to the other. Ever since the Marco incident Jean hasn't really talked to anyone unless it was out of anger, so him suddenly walking up to [Name] and saying 'hey' like everything was normal was strange. 

        "How are you holding up?" [Name] asked, breaking the awkward and uncomfortable silence. Jean looked at her and shrugged.

        "Not exactly sure. I still want to bash every MP person in the head, but other than that I'm perfectly fine."

        [Name] couldn't help but laugh at his reply. Once Jean heard the sound of her laughter he couldn't help but crack a smile himself. But then the laughter died down, and the smile faded. "How about you?"

        [Name] sighed, knowing that he was going to ask that. She didn't really want him to, because everything was just a mess of confusing thoughts in her mind. "I don't know," [Name] replied honestly. 

        "What do you mean?" Jean asked curiously.

        [Name] shrugged. "With the whole Eren thing, The Scouts, and things with Levi, oh, and not to mention how confused I still am about the zombie situation," she explained then sighed again. 

        "Yeah, the thing with Eren is.. different, I guess. I'm just pissed off at him for being so stupid, and The Scouts are something knew, but it's better that being with the MP's, right?"

        [Name] chuckled. "A lot better." 

        Jean grinned then frowned right after, "And I don't know about the whole Levi thing. That's probably something you should talk to Sasha about." [Name] could tell that he felt awkward even saying that, but she shrugged it off. 

        "I probably will anyways, but thanks for lifting up my mood, even if it wasn't by much." Jean smiled. "Anytime."




"I feel likes it's been forever since I've talk to you," Sasha pouted once [Name] found her in the kitchen and sat next to her. 

        "Yeah, it really does feel that way," [Name] agreed. They've only been at the Scouts' base for one night, but it seemed like a week to them. When [Name] walked in and sat next to Sasha, it had almost felt like two friends that haven't spoken in years. Sasha bit into her banana.

        "So what's up?"

        "A lot of stuff," [Name] replied with a sigh. Sasha swallowed and raised her eyebrows. 

        "Things with Levi?" She questioned. [Name]'s face changed and Sasha could tell she was right. "Do tell."

        [Name] looked down at her hands, examining the lines and creases on her palms. "I don't know. It just seems like we're more distant, you know? It's kind of hard to explain, but it feels like he's drifting, or that he doesn't want to be with me anymore. I could just be overreacting."

        Sasha had finished her banana while [Name] talked and was now throwing away the yellow peel. "Maybe it's just because of everything that has been happening lately. Marco, the MP's, The Scouts, and the Eren thing, it's kind of hard to take in."

        [Name] stared blankly at her hands for a few moments. "I guess," she said with a shrug. Sasha sighed.

        "I'll go talk to him then," she announced and stood up from the stool. [Name]'s eyes immediately widened and she quickly spun around on the stool, "No!"

        But Sasha was already gone, looking for Levi. [Name] groaned and buried her head in her hands.
