____________Levi's POV____________
I was currently standing in the mess hall, along with my squad.
"In about two days, there will be another expedition, so I expect everyone to train twice as hard, is that clear!?" I shout, and everyone replies with a 'yes, sir!', as they salute.
I dismissed them for training, but as (F/N) went to leave, I called out to her.
"Oi, (F/N), come here."
She turns around, confusion written all over her face.
"What is it, Levi?" She asks, as she walks over.
"I'm going to be observing your training today, since neither you or Nassir received proper training, we need to see how you've progressed so far." I state.
"Y-Yeah, that's fine and all, but-" The last part of her sentence starts to fade out.
"But what?" I ask, irritation lacing the words.
"But, I don't see the point, I was already on an expedition and survived, doesn't that mean that I have enough skills to prove that I've been training hard?" She asks.
A tick mark appeared on my forehead, as I hit the top of her head.
"Ow!" She exclaims, as she rubs the top of her head.
"And its that kind of attitude that's going to get you killed, stupid brat." I growl, as I cross my arms in irritation.
"Eh, but why did you hit me?" She whines, still rubbing her head.
"Thought it would knock some fucking sense into that dense head of yours." I mutter, as I walk past her.
"Ehh~, Levi, I'm not that dense." She whines again.
I don't respond, as I stop by the door leading out of the mess hall.
"Tch, are you coming, or am I going to have to drag you out of here." I say, as I tap my foot.
"I'm coming." She says, as she walks up to me.
We both walked in silence, as we made our way to the training feilds.
I suddenly broke the silence, as I say, "I was wondering something."
"Oh, and what's that?" (F/N) asks.
"I was wondering if your afraid of the upcoming mission?" I ask.
(F/N) stops walking, causing me to stop as well. I turn, and saw that she seemed to be in deep thought.
"I don't know." She suddenly says.
I raise and eyebrow, as I ask, "What do you mean that, 'you don't know'?"
"Well, I am afraid, but not for myself. I'm afraid that the people I care for will get hurt, and because of that, I just hope that everything will be okay." She explains.
"Okay? Why just okay, why not 'I hope that everything will go marvelous'?" I ask, my tone emotionless.
"Because, if there's one thing I've learned, it's this: we all want everything to be okay. We don't even wish so much for fantastic or marvelous or outstanding. We will happily settle for okay, because most of the time, okay is enough." She says, looking down a bit, as she smiles softly.
"I see, you know, for a brat, you do sure talk like a philosopher." I deadpanned.
"Eh, well I can explain that easily." (F/N) says.
"Then go right ahead, I'm curious about how you know so much about shit." I state.
"Because, the loneliest people are the kindest, the saddest people smile the brightest, and the most damaged people are the wisest. All because they don't wish to see anyone else suffer the way they did." She says, smiling sadly.
My eyes widen when I heard this.
'I see, I guess that is somewhat true.' I think to myself, as I stare at (F/N).
But, before I know what I'm doing, I bring my hand up, and began stroking her hair.
"Stupid brat." I say gently, as I continue to rub her hair.
"Pfft, what kind of reaction is that." (F/N) says, chuckling a bit.
"Tch, be grateful that I'm a least trying to comfort you." I hiss, but not in a menacing way.
(F/N) laughs, as I drop my hand to my side.
"Tch, lets get going, before the brats start training without us." I says, as I spin on my heels, and began walking down the corridor that leads to the door outside.
Once there, I immediately began to observe the way (F/N)'s been training.
Her hand to hand combat skills have increased, as well as her use for the 3DMG. However, her abilities also play a factor in this, which is why I'm going to be doing training more differently then usual.
Once, we got set up, I called (F/N) over, which she immediately runs over.
"What am I doing now?" (F/N) asks, as she stares at the titan dummies.
"You will be using your manipulating abilities to control these titan dummies, and try to capture the rest of the squad, this also means that Nassir will be involved, as well as Hanji and I" I state.
____________Your POV_____________
Once you heard this, you immediately responded by saying, "Understand, but what if I accidentally hurt someone?"
"Tch, you won't hurt anyone, besides if someone does get hurt, then its by their own fault for being stupid enough to be captured by one of these titan dummies." Levi hisses, as he launches himself onto the branch that Hanji was on.
"You ready, (F/N)!" Hanji calls out excitedly, and you nod your head.
"Ready.......set..........go!" Hanji shouts, as she, along with everyone else launch off the branches they were standing on.
You immediately activated your abilities, as you moved your fingers around, like controlling a puppet with invisible string, and after a while, you finally got the hang of it. You manage to capture Armin, Connie, Jean, Nassir, Bertholdt, and Sasha, which were sitting next to you on the ground.
You quickly moved one of the titan dummies' hand, capturing Eren in the process.
"Damn it!" He shouts, as he lands next to you, and sits down in a huff.
"Sorry." You mumble, as you continued to manipulate the titan dummies.
"It's fine." He huffs.
You watched the superiors maneuvers, Hanji and Levi were both skilled, avoiding the hands of the fake titans that went to grab them.
That was, until Hanji wasn't paying attention.
You immediately moved one of the titan's hand, causing Hanji to fly back to avoid it, but that was when you brought the other hand up, and caught her.
"Oh man, and here I thought I could make it!" Hanji whines, as she sits down on the ground next to you.
'Lets see, only Reiner, Mikasa, Ymir, Krista, and Levi are left.' You think, as you immediately went for Krista.
Caught off guard by the sudden action, she was caught, along with Ymir, who tried to help her out,
"Wow, good job in catching me." Krista said, as she lands next to you, with Ymir by her side, who said nothing.
You smile slightly at the compliment, but soon turn your attention back to the rest of the people that you had yet to catch.
You manipulate some titan dummies that were near Mikasa, causing her to become a bit flustered at the sudden movements of the multiple titans around her. This caused her to become a bit sloppy, allowing you a split second to grab her. Which, you successfully did.
Reiner was a bit difficult, thanks to him watching all the tricks you did, but he looked a bit exhausted with all the dodging, finally allowing you to catch him.
"Wow, I wonder who'll win?" Connie says, as he watches as Levi dodges every attack you sent his way.
But then, an idea came to you.
You smirk, as you did something no one expected, you disabled your ability, allowing the titan dummies to stop all movement.
Levi looked pissed, as he said, "Who said to stop, brat?"
You smiled, as you said, "Who said I did?"
Levi took a moment to process your words, but when he finally did, it was too late.
A titan dummy from behind got him.
You heard him click his tounge, as he said, "That was a dirty trick, brat."
"Well, you should know better then to let your guard down, especially if there's titans around." You say, grinning triumphantly.
Levi just clicked his tounge, as everyone chuckled at the scene before them.
You smiled too, as you and the rest continue to joke around.
'I wish things would stay like this, for a little while longer.' You think, as you and everyone else, laugh at the joke Connie said.
But, unaware to you, that a dark future will be coming upon you, as well as everyone else.
