The girl on the ODM flew closer and closer to the man lying on the ground. He was clearly unconscious. Hange hoped it wasn't Levi. But the closer she moved to the body, the faster her hope faded. It was he. Covered in blood, it was scary to look at his face. Huge bleeding cut. And a lot of splinters. Hange landed next to the body. She easily placed his head in her lap. She began to check whether he was alive at all. He seems to be breathing, but he is very weak. Grabbing the man more comfortably, Hange used the remaining gas to fly into the forest.
-Who tried so hard? To mutilate Ackerman like that, you have to try. -Hanji pulled off Levi's shirt, red with blood. After examining the body, she wanted to cry. This was the first time she had seen Levi in this state. Half dead, but so beautiful. Hanji began to wipe the blood from the man's face. 2 huge wounds. The eye will clearly no longer be able to see, the wound went straight through the eye. Hange laid Levi down on a soft mat and began stitching and taping the wounds. It's good that Levi was unconscious, otherwise he would have felt wild pain. As a result, half of the man's body was bandaged. And so little Levi looked very vulnerable. Hanji sat next to her before Levi woke up. He tried to stand up, but Hanji's strong arms returned him to a prone position.
- Lie down, don't move. How are you in general? -Hanji straightened Levi's hair.
-Shit - Levi raised his hand - Fuck, my fingers
Hanji grabbed his hand
-Don't look, don't. I'm so sorry - Hanji could barely hold back her tears - When I picked you up, they were gone
-How did I end up here? you explain it to me. -Levi tried to sit up again -And why am I without a shirt?
-We had to bandage you, you were bleeding.-Hanji grabbed Levi by the shoulders and gently lowered him back. -Lie down, don’t move.
Levi was so weak that he did not resist. He was tormented by only one question: where were his fingers?
-Where are my fingers? -Levi looked at his hand -Where are they?
-I don't know. Perhaps due to the sharp fall they were cut off by blades - Hanji turned pale
-It's all Zeke. It's his fault. -Levi hit the floor.
-Hush, everything will be fine.-Hanji covered Levi with a blanket.-Get some sleep. You have to relax.
Levi muttered something and quickly fell asleep. Hange didn't leave his side. Levi's hand was bleeding heavily. She wrapped his palm in a new bandage. Levi slept for a very long time, Hanji fell asleep next to him .At some point, Levi woke up, turning his head, he saw that Hanji had fallen asleep next to him. With his uninjured hand, he removed her glasses and placed them next to her. He closed his eyes in pain. His whole body hurt so much that he exhaled noisily.Hanji stood up immediately.
-Hurt? How can I help?-Hanji wiped droplets of blood from her face. The bandages were soaked with blood. -Would you like to eat?
- The pain is unbearable, I don’t want to eat, thank you. -Levi answered a little embarrassed. He is ashamed that they are caring for him like that. -Can I drink some water?
-Of course-Hanji poured water into a cup. She lifted Levi's head with one hand. He was completely weak. - Drink carefully
Levi was able to drink some water. He lay and looked at the sky. He didn't notice that he grabbed Hanji's hand. A hot tear flowed from his eye. He was so pleased to realize that someone needed him. They love him. Hanji sat next to him. She wanted to say something, but she understood that words were not needed now. She straightened Levi's hair so it wouldn't get into his eyes.
-Levi, let’s stay here to live, just the two of us,-Hanji looked at the sky, -I’m afraid of losing you.
-I'm also afraid of losing you. I'm tired of losing people close to me. -Levi looked at Hanji. -This is the first time I’ll say such words, but I love you.
-I love you too- Hange hugged Levi. -I was so afraid that you would die.
