The next few days were okay-ish since nothing happened with Eren. You were kind of disappointed that you didn't get to see him turn into a titan. You knew this wasn't some game and this was not about whether you get to play Titans or not, this was a serious topic.
But living here has made your day so empty because back at the HQ you'd be busy the entire day with cases but here everything that comes within the radius of Eren is being checked and monitored so you don't get that many cases sent your way.
Plus you have been monitoring the experiments that Hange is doing on him and none of them led anywhere.
You were happy that now at least you're getting some sleep during the day because you just CANNOT sleep at night. Not even in your house let alone a castle. So this one night you decided to get something warm to help you sleep. You saw some guards sitting outside the dungeon where Eren was kept. They got up to salute you but you quickly asked them to be at ease.
You appreciated how dedicated and true to their words Scouts were. You never need to cross-check anything with them like with MPs.
As you reached the mess haul you could hear some voices. You wondered why are people up at this hour? As you got closer to the gate you could hear them a little. You didn't want to eavesdrop but you wanted to know who it was since you were trying to avoid Levi's cold gaze.
"What is she even doing here? All she does is fool around all day while we are here working our asses off." said one voice. "Oh to be an official. What does she have over Zachary anyways? I've seen how he was looking over her the entire time we were there as if she is the one who was making the decisions?" "I'm sure they are up to something. She really has him in her palm, doesn't she? I mean she is hot we cannot deny that..." They continued talking but you decided it was better to walk away. This was not the first time you heard things like that.
"Leaving so early? They were just getting to the best part." said a familiar voice from behind you. You looked over and it was HIM. Distress was clear on your face. You didn't say anything and turned back around and walked back to your room. You could feel his sharp gaze following you.
One thing was clear, it was easy working with Scouts because they are true to their words but they were the same as others. Always daunting on the fact that you get to live a more comfortable life than them. Only if they knew. It was all the shiny parts that they were able to see. But you didn't blame them for it.
A few days passed and you were all having lunch outside this afternoon in the experiment grounds. You were taking updates from Levi and Hange about the progress in the experiments because till now, Eren was not able to turn at all. And then it happened.
With a loud strike of an electric bolt and a HUGE figure emerged out of thin air. As the smoke dispersed you could see it clearly. So this is what a titan looked like. Levi took you by the hand and pulled you away from it, "Are you trying to get yourself killed?" he shouted. But it was all a background noise, for the thing you see right now, is a miracle.
Within a second everyone had their swords out and pointed toward Eren's titan form. Wait, did they not believe him too? If so, then this could be a problem. As if Levi heard your thoughts he barged and tried to stop them. Continuously checking your expressions too. He knew that this is not going to look in the reports and could be a huge setback for the entire situation.
After all of that was sorted you went back to your room to complete some work. None of them stayed to talk to you, they knew they messed up. Even Hange gave you a weak smile that clearly said, "Please don't mess this up for us"It was late at night when you went to the mess hall to pass some time. It was on the first floor and had the best view.
As you entered you were happy that there was no one so you helped yourself with some warm water and sat near the window looking at the stars. "Do you ever sleep?" it was him again. Your situation with him was very weird because you can feel his eyes are always on you and when you look back he pulls them away. If it was someone else, you could have considered the possibility that they were into you but his gaze is always just so cold and empty, this could never be a possibility with him."No. But you don't either do you? We always cross paths at night" you said with a smile trying to act cool when you're VERY nervous. His expression changed a bit then went back to cold. "I might almost think that you're following me or something. Do you worry that I might do something to Eren?" you said now jokingly but half curious to know his answer.
He just went ahead and started making some tea and replied with his back towards you, "I have better things to do." You scanned his body from up and down. This was the first time you could have a good look at him. He sure was muscular and those straps only enhanced it. Not even a single crease on this shirt even though he had his sleeves folded.
As you were checking him out you realized that he can see you through the kitchen glass door and he was doing just that.
You turned your back to him again as if nothing happened when on the inside you were contemplating jumping out of the window now.
Both of you were silent until he leaned over from your back and put a cup of tea in front of you. You flinched a little which he DID notice but you acted cool.
"Tha--nks." you thanked him thinking he'll keep it there and walk away but to your surprise he sat down next to you with his back against the window.
You looked at him surprised wanting an explanation for sudden kindness but what he said next just made you stutter like an idiot. "You'll get a better view like this." He said with a smirk.
"I- No no no no that's not it I-" you said waving your hand in front of your face. "You?" he said leaning close to your face. You just sat there like a statue and hoped that he'll disappear right then and there.
He just scoffed and leaned back again, "I'm just messing with you. You're my superior why are you always so scared of me?"
