Chapter 4 - Broken Inside

YOUR POV

I heard many muffled voices talking. Levi must've healed enough to be able to walk.

"When will she wake up?..." Somebody asked.

"Probably not for a while," A feminine voice added.

"Well, I'm going to go grab Some tea, I'll be about an Hour. Bye." A deep male voice said.

I tried to wake up but my brain was not having it.

I managed to successfully be able to move my head but I couldn't move anything else.

"Y/N CAN YOU HEAR ME!?" A female voice said, It sounded like Hange's.

I nodded my head.

"I'M GOING TO GET LEVI AND ERWIN! STAY AWAKE FOR ME, ALRIGHT!?" She said, The  ran off.

10 Minutes Later...

"What? She can't be awake, It's only been about half an hour!" I heard Erwin say.

"She moved her head! I swear!" Hange said.

"Are you sure you're not imagining things, Four eyes?" Levi asked.

"YEAH! SHE'S AWAKE! I'M TELLING YOU!" She shouted.

They all walked in.

"Y/n, Are you awake?" Levi asked.

I Nodded my head in response.

"Okay, I actually thought Hange was being her metal self but obviously not." Erwin said, Laughing a little bit.

"Rude!" She exclaimed, Which made Erwin and Levi laugh.

I tried to open my eyes countless times but couldn't.

Levi stroked my (H/c) Hair. It was really comfortable feeling his touch, and It'd be more comfortable If I could see him, Smile at him.

Knowing that we kissed before, Gives me shivers. I don't know why but, It just makes me feel awkward..

"Y/n, Are you trying to open your eyes? Because It looks like it." Hange asked.

I kept squinting because I was getting pissed off that I couldn't open my eyes.

I nodded.

Levi kept stroking my hair and It made me feel safe, Happy.

I managed to smile at him even though I couldn't see him.

"She smiled, Awe! I ship!" Hange said.

I don't know if you can go read while in a Coma but I did.

"She smiled because she's my best friend." He said.

Damn, That hurt... I just got friendzoned by my crush... To be honest, He probably only sees me as a Cadet... So I don't really care.

I still felt comfort while being near him.

I finally managed to open my eyes. I couldn't sit up though, It was as if my back was broken.

"I heard everything." I said, Looking at Hange.

"WELL IT'S TRUE! I SHIP YOU TWO!" She shouted.

"If Looks could kill, You'd be dead." I said, Coldly.

"Rude." She said, Which made us all laugh.

"It feels Nice to hear you all laugh again, It feels like years since I've heard it..." I said.

It's true, It feels really good to hear all their voices.

"Nah, It's only been 2 weeks." Levi said, Casually.

"Wha-!?" I said, "How could you say that so Casually!?"

"It's Levi, What do you expect?"Erwin laughed.

"True, True." I said.

Erwin and Hange had left me and Levi alone to talk, After what happened...

"Hey.. Can I ask you something?.." I asked.

"Sure," He said, sitting back, Ears open.

"Why did you save me?.. Why didn't you just leave me there?" I asked.

"Because, I... can't lose you. You're my favourite person to be around and I had to save you anyway, We can't lose someone as talented as you on the team!" He said, as a small tint of Pink appeared on his face.

"T-thanks... But you shouldn't have risked your neck for me..." I said.

"I did it because, Ya know..." He said, Suspiciously.

I was shocked at his words... I thought he didn't care about me as much as he did with the other cadets.. I've never seen him blush so much in my life.

"Yeah... I'm sorry for making you pass out as well by the way..." I laughed, Rubbing the back of my neck.

"It's fine, and it wasn't you. I was exhausted." Levi said.

"Well still, You could've died from the impact of hitting your head..."I said.

"Meh, Well somehow, we're both alive so that's all that matters." Levi said.

"True." I laughed.

"I love you." He said, Before walking out of the room, Leaving me stunned.

I didn't know what to think of what he had said to me. I had to stay in the infirmary for a few more days as I had broken many bones in my leg while on the Expedition.

I decided to get some rest because I was exhausted and excited about the fact I'd be released soon.

THE NEXT MORNING

"Y/n, wake up. We brought you some breakfast!" Armin said, Opening the door.

"Awwe! Thanks guys! You didn't havè too!" I said, Smiling.

He had brought along the whole cadet corps. Mikasa, Eren, Connie, Y'mir, Reiner, Bertholdt, Annie, Christa, Sasha, Jean. And then stood behind them were Levi, Erwin and Hange.

"Hey, brats." Levi said, Walking through.

"Hello, sir!" I said, With a bright smile on my face.

Everyone saluted. I bet they were jealous because I couldn't move one arm.

I sat up, With a red face. I felt dizzy and hot but nobody seemed to notice. Accept from Petra.

"Are you alright? You're really red. And you've got a temperature." She said, Which made Levi run over to me.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I said, Forcing a smile out.

"Tch, You don't look fine." Levi said.

"I'm fine, Honestly. Just a little light headed." I said.

I also had a headache but who know what kind of cleaning spree Levi would go on if I told him that. He'd think the dust got to me and that's how I got a headache. But it's not.

"Get her something to drink, Erwin, Please." Levi asked Erwin Politely.

Erwin nodded and grabbed a glass of water. I drank it and felt better immediately.

"You alright now?" Petra asked.

"Yeah, I'm perfectly fine, Thank you." I smiled.

I still felt a little hot but it's fine.

Everyone walked out the room except from Levi, Erwin and Hange.

"Too many people, huh?.." Levi asked.

"No Kidding..." I said, Laying down again trying to rest my eyes.

"We'll leave you alone, Get some rest." Hange said.

"I'll try.. Thanks guys.." I said, As they walked out the room.

I immediately drifted off.

1 WEEK LATER...

I was released from the hospital, Finally being able to walk and move properly.

"Y/N!!" Sasha screamed, Hugging me.

"Sasha!" I shouted back, Not hesitating to hug her back.

Everybody came up to us and hugged us.

It was like a group hug.

Except.. Levi wasn't there..
