Sasha woke up to the nice sound of chirping birds in the early morning. She sat up, stretching her arms as she did so.

She looked around the cave, searching for a sign of Levi but it seemed that he wasn't there. This caused her to frown.

This was weird, why wouldn't he be here right now?. But then again the captain was an early bird...maybe he went out searching for food or perhaps he is training somewhere?.

Now with that in mind, the Sasha felt like she could somewhat relax again. She got up and exited the cave.

The moment she stepped outside the cave she felt gentle rays of sunlight hit her face, she couldn't help but smile at this. It had been years since she woke up like this, she used to camp all the time out in the wild with her parents.

She lifted her arms up again, stretching her whole body while letting out a pleasing moan.

"Alright, now that I'm wide awake I-" but her sentence was suddenly interrupted by a faint thumping sound nearby. She was startled by this, which caused her to take somewhat of a goofy stance.

Thank goodness the captain wasn't around to see that.

Once she calmed down and figured that the sound wasn't caused by an animal curiosity got the better of her and she decided to follow it. It was coming from behind a few trees nearby.

The closer she got the louder the tumping got, and sometimes in between she could make out faint groans.

Now that she was only a few meters away she could confirm that the sounds came from captain levi. Sasha rolled her eyes, she should have figured it out way earlier, gosh she felt so stupid.

She tiptoed closer, making sure not to make any sounds, and crouched down behind a few bushes, listening to him train.

The longer she sat down behind the bushes listening, the higher the urge was to look. There was nothing wrong by watching him train right?... But then again this was Levi.

And he didn't really like that sort of attention. But then again...she has never seen him train before, this could be her one and only change!.

Now that she made a decision there was no turning back. She sat up on her knees and peaked her out from behind the bushes, her gaze instantly locking on captain Levi. And oh boy she wished she hadn't...

There he was shirtless, practicing his kicks and punches against a tree. He moved so fast, she could barely register what exactly he was doing and how. And the fact that the sun was shining on him like a light from heaven, clearly highlighting his hot, muscular body didn't help.

And the drips of sweat that were covering him and dripping down onto the dirt below him didn't help much either. She swallowed. hard. Her face as red as a tomato, god she felt like she was going to have a nosebleed...she knew that he was well developed but damn...those abs.

Now she was complicating on what made her so attracted to Conny a while ago...his body was nothing compared to captain Levi's...But then again Conny was good looking...But the same could be said for captain Levi as well. Gosh since when did she start to compare guys like this?.

While Sasha was spacing out, trying not to drool she didn't notice that Levi had stopped training and noticed her presence. he locked his gaze with hers, trying to get her attention, But she didn't respond.

He sighed, wiping some sweat off of his forehead before he began to approach her. Once he reached her he knelt down in front of her, giving her a questioning look. "Oi Brat, What is the meaning of this? How long have you been watching me?".

He patiently waited for her answer, but none came. This made Levi somewhat annoyed. "Oi brat, I am talking to you" He tried again, but still no response. He sighed in annoyance, slightly pinching the bridge of his nose as he did so.

"This idiot.," he muttered before he lightly reached up and gently flicked her forehead. This caused Sasha to yelp in surprise and stumble, trying to keep her balance but she failed and fell onto him. Levi had noticed this an wanted to move away but he was too late, the damage had already been done.

He landed on his back into the dirt and she was on top of him, straddling him. She didn't know why but she couldn't move. All she could do what stare down at him, her cheeks turning a lovely shade of red. Levi, on the other hand, looked as unamused as usual "Will you quit staring and get off of me?".

Sasha seemed to snap out of her state at the sound of his voice. "W-What?" She asked as she sat up, her face still red. Levi took this chance and he sat up as well. He looked at her, carefully taking in her current state. Once he realized that it was all because of him he couldn't help but smirk a little. "You know...from your current reaction one would think that you have never seen a guy shirtless before, Am I right?".

Sasha her face only seemed to get redder by the second, it was clear that he had a certain effect on her. And he would be lying to himself if he said that he didn't find it amusing. "A-ah well y-yes, I mean n-no..." she stuttered, trying to get the right words out.

Levi took this opportunity to gently grab her by the back of her head and pull her face closer towards his, so close until he could feel her breath on his face. "Oh? Really? I find that hard to believe" he said calmly, a slight smirk still present on his face. Sasha, on the other hand, seemed like she was on fire, he had never seen anyone blush this much in his whole life.

He then gently patted her on the top of her head, ruffling some of her hair in the progress before he gently pushed her off of him so that they could both easily stand back up. "Well there's no reason to be ashamed of that kind of thing, we are in the middle of a war. We don't really have time for relationships and things like that. I can guarantee you that most of the younger soldiers are still virgins". and with that being said he picked up the rest off of his uniform and began to walk away. "If you need me I'll be getting this filth off of me by the lake. We'll continue our journey in 30 minutes, Make sure that you don't forget anything". And with that being said he was gone.

She was sitting there, still frozen from the recent events, still slightly flustered, hand clutched to her chest. "W-what?..." she quietly muttered to herself while she was still lost in her thoughts. Staring at the spot where he had been moments ago.

~o~o~o~o~

It was the day after the incident from the recent expedition. All the soldiers were outside on the courtyard, waiting for Erwin to come and do a roll call to see which soldiers made it back safely and which didn't. They could have done that yesterday but everyone was too shaken up to focus, therefore they were doing it now. Most soldiers were still tired, therefore not fully aware of their surroundings.

Eren stood in between Armin and Mikasa on the first row, hands clasped behind his back, like all the other soldiers, and bags under his eyes like all the other soldiers. He wished that he could go back to sleep, but he knew he couldn't. He knew he wouldn't be able to sleep until he knew for certain that all his friends were okay. He didn't get much of a chance to check on everyone yesterday after all, nor did anyone else. They were in such a rush.

It was then that one soldier called for everyone's attention, announcing Erwin presence as the blonde man walked up the wooden stage. The courtyard was pretty much silent before, but it sure a hell was now. You could hear a pin fell. So silent it was.

Once Erwin was up on the stage he cleared his throat before taking a look at the list of names he was holding. "Alright because of the recent events we do a roll call today to see who are still with us. If I call your name please answer".

And so Erwin read the names of all the scouts aloud in order. Eren and friends alike felt relieved so far, knowing that most of their pals made it back safely, that was until Sasha her name was mentioned and she didn't respond.

Eren felt like throwing up. Sasha wasn't there with them..oh god...was she dead?. All thoughts were going to his minds and of the minds of his friends alike. Especially Conny had a hard time dealing with this. "No...Sasha...It can't be...". But other then them most soldiers didn't really seem to care, that was until Captain Levi's name was called out and he didn't respond.

Everyone went in instant shock mode so to speak. Their eyes widened, their pupils going dark. Humanity's strongest soldier was missing...or possibly even dead. Some soldiers started to shake, getting panicked. Humanity's strongest soldier was gone...now they didn't have a chance against the more powerful titans anymore...

Erwin calmly finished the list. He didn't seem affected by it but of course, he was. He really did rely a lot on Levi, he was his friend after all. In the end, 39 Soldiers in total where either missing or dead. Including Levi and Sasha. He did see soldiers die at the scene but there was no way he was able to confirm who was who. But he knew for sure that Levi and Braus wouldn't be among them. They where to strong to be simply taken out like that.

Erwin glanced at Hanji for a brief moment, who gave him a concerned look. Then he turned to look at the soldiers again. He took in their current state before finally speaking again. "It seems we have a total of 39 missing comrades. Now I say missing because there is a chance that some of them are still alive. We shouldn't give up hope and wait for their return. Now I know some of you might be wanting to go outside of the wall and look for them but know that you will be stopped. If they are all dead we can't risk losing anyone else. That is all".

And with that being said Erwin took his leave. Hanji and a few other soldiers following behind him. Eren clenched his fist, gritting his teeth in the process. Why weren't they going out and look for them?!. They were their comrades!. How could Erwin turn his back on them like that?!.

Mikasa, of course, noticed Eren's raging state, Giving him a worried look. "Eren..." She muttered softly.

Armin gave him a look of concern. Knowing fully well what his friend wanted to do. But as much as it pained him..he knew that Erwin was right. Armin put his hand on Eren's shoulder, giving it a supportive squeeze. Trying to calm down his friend. "Eren...I know how you feel but Commander Erwin is right...All we can do is hope that they manage to return safely".

Eren closed his eyes, trying his best to stop himself from turning into a titan and going after his missing friends. "DAMMIT!" Eren yelled in anger as he stepped forward and smashed his fist against a wall, creating a dent in it.

~o~o~o~o~

The walk was quiet and awkward, to say the least. Sasha wanted to talk but Levi hadn't said anything so she decided to keep quiet. She looked up at the sky, it was still pretty early which was good. It meant that they were less likely to encounter titans.

She then turned to look back at Levi who was still walking a few feet in front of her. His raven hair and green scouting coat peacefully blowing in the wind. She wondered what he was thinking right now.

Apparently, Sasha wasn't paying much attention because Levi had stopped walking, causing her to walk straight into him. She stumbled a little, thankfully managing to keep her balance. She looked up somewhat annoyed, ready to open her mouth and give him a piece of her mind when Levi sushed her.

Sasha found this weird but did as she was told. After a few seconds of silence, she heard it too, the sound of crunching leaves and twigs, multiple footsteps and voices coming closer towards them. Levi quickly ducked down behind a few bushes and motioned for her to do the same. She followed suit, kneeling down besides him and slightly peeking her head out from the bushes so that she could see what was happening.

To their surprise, they saw quite a few military police soldiers, half on horses and the other half on foot walking past. They were dragging 3 injured scouts behind them who still seemed conscious. Sasha was about to stand up to help her comrades but Levi put a hand on her shoulder and lightly shook his head. Telling her to stay put, so she did.

"Please let us go! We did nothing wrong. All we did was trying to survive after that horrible attack. Please!" One of the scouts begged, tears beginning to fall from the corners of his eyes. One of the military police soldiers scoffed at this before replying with "None of that matters. In case you forgot you are our property now. Our subject. So I suggest that you keep your mouth shut or things will get worse".

The scout swallowed, trying his best not to cry more. The military police soldier nodded "Good. Now stay quiet".

Sasha got a little disturbed by this. "W-What is going on?. Why are there military police soldiers outside of the wall?" she asked quietly. Levi frowned deeply, not trusting the situation at all. "I don't know but this can't be good".

Then the soldiers started to get out of range, disappearing into the forest. Levi quietly got up and launched his 3d maneuver gear to a tree, pulling himself so that he could easily follow them. As much as Sasha hated it she knew she had no choice but to follow him. She didn't want to do this, she was scared. But after seeing something weird like this...how could you not?.

Levi and Sasha quietly hovered above the military police soldiers, following them from a safe distance so they wouldn't be caught. This was so strange, why would the military police be taking scouts somewhere into the forest?. What the heck where they doing?.

Eventually, that answer was somewhat answered when they arrived at a small clearing, a rusted brown building that looked like a bunker stood in the middle of it. Levi and Sasha landed in a nearby tree. Watching from above as the military police troop dragged the scared scouts inside.

Levi carefully scanned the area as far as possible to see if there was a safe way inside, but there was none. They were so many guards, you'd have to knock most of them out to enter. He quietly cursed under his breath. This was not going to be easy.

"I know that this is not what you want to hear...But I don't really want to go in there..." Sasha said softly, feeling quite guilty that she'd choose her own safety over helping her injured comrades. Levi turned to look at her, his expression a little more on the sad side instead of his usual unamused expression.

"I know that you are afraid, and that is okay. I don't expect you to come with me, but I'd at least appreciate it if you'd keep an eye out here and wait for my return. But if by any chance they get to me don't help me, I'll be fine. Go to Erwin and tell him about this. He needs to know this". He then turned to look down a patrolling military police, studying their patrol patterns. Once he felt like he got it he looked at Sasha for a bit before quietly jumping down the tree branch and hiding in the high grass near the military police. waiting for an opening to quietly take them out.

Sasha watched nervously as Levi stealthy took out one military police soldier after the other. He was very good in combat, it seemed so easy for him. Then once he had taken down the last soldier who was keeping watch outside she watched as he quietly approached the front door, trying to open it but he failed. Then he tried some of the windows but no luck either.

She watched as he tried to open another window, but he stopped an quickly turned around as another troop of military police soldiers arrived, led by their leader Nile Dok. Sasha her eyes widened at this. Their leader was on it too?!. Levi didn't seem surprised and just calmly stood there, glaring at them as they approached him.

"Well, well, well look what we have here. Captain Levi what a surprise. To what do we have honor?" Nile said as he approached Levi, smirking. Levi glared at him, clearly not in the mood for his crap "What the hell is going on here? why are you bringing scouts here?". Nile his smirk only seemed to grow wider because of this "Ah you saw that?, Well let's just say that this is sort of a hobby of mine. That is really all you need to know because soon you will be staying here as well. It will be an honor to run my tests on 'humanity's strongest soldier'. Of course, my tests will really prove if you are true to your title. Get him, men".

Then as Nile Dok stepped back all the other soldiers moved forward, closing in on Levi, ready to attack. Levi backed up a bit, slowly drawing his swords. Sasha gulped, watching nervously from above as they soldiers pounced on Levi, attacking him. Levi easily kicked them off of him and swiftly killed one after the other. But the military police soldiers just seemed to keep coming...it looked like it wasn't going to end. She knew Levi was strong but could he really take these many guys all on his own?.

Sasha her theory seemed to be proven right after a few minutes of fighting, Levi clearly began to run out of energy, which caused some of the other soldiers to lay clear hits on him as well. Sasha wanted to jump down and help him, it was getting hard to follow the order...

After a few more minutes of fighting Nile seemed to have enough of it and called one of the soldiers over, whispering something into his ear. The soldier nodded and proceeded to get something out of his jacket pocket. Sasha squinted to try and get a better few of what it was, it was a syringe with some strange fluid inside. That couldn't be good.

She wanted to scream Levi his name but the words didn't seem to come out. This caused her to panic, she had to warn him somehow!. She quickly searched around for something to try and throw to get his attention but it was already too late, the soldier had managed to dig the syringe into Levi his leg, which caused Levi to grunt in pain and soon after he instantly passed out.

Nile and the soldiers who were still alive smirked, clearly happy with this catch. "Get him inside, I can't wait to start my test on him," Nile said as he was ready to go inside the bunker. "Yes sir!" the soldiers said as they approached Levi, slowly picking him up and ready to drag him inside. Sasha was shaking, slowly reaching for her swords. She was really scared but she knew that if she didn't act now it would be over for them. Even though the captain had told her to do otherwise.

Sasha unsheathed her swords and swung down from the tree with her 3d maneuver gear, killing the soldier that was holding Levi. Then she didn't waste any time in killing the second one right after. "I won't let you take him!. What you are doing is wrong!".

Nile seemed excited at the sight of a female scout. It was like he had never seen a female scout before. "Interesting...I have never had a chance to try my tests on a woman before as all female scouts we found where already dead. What luck we have today!...Take her too".

"Yes, sir!" The soldiers said as they got ready to attack Sasha. Sasha took a defensive stance of her own, raising her swords more. Now she wasn't that good in hand to hand combat but she wasn't about to give up to these guys. Her life and the captain's life where on the line here.

She fought and fought, showing no mercy even though it was really hard to so. She was so focused on defending her own life and Levi's that she didn't see the soldier with another syringe coming at her from behind.

She felt a sharp pain in her left shoulder, which caused her to scream. It hurt a lot. But as soon as the pain came it started to fade away, she started to feel dizzy and couldn't help but fall down. Once she fell down she came right face to face with the knocked out Levi. Even though the situation was dire seeing Levi without a frown was rare...he seemed peaceful. "C-captain...I..I'm so..rry..." she managed to say softly.

Levi his face was the last thing she saw before her eyelids got too heavy and everything went black...

To be continued.
