Krista Lenz/Historia Reiss X Levi Ackerman

An Unexpected Meeting.

                                                                                                                                                                              

Krista woke up in her dormitory. Since everyone was allowed to customize their half of their dorm, hers was a mix of light pink and orange. Her roommate, Ymir, had her half filled with yellow and orange, knowing Krista liked bright colors. Krista had woken up from a dream that she was constantly having, where she was in a dark room and a voice was telling her that she was weak and small. She never saw who spoke to her, which was even scarier. She couldn't even tell if it was a man or woman, the voice just sounded so neutralized.

Krista got up and put on her uniform. She knew she needed to improve. She thought about practicing her agility, but then remembered that she was awarded ''Most Agile'' a few months ago. She needed something else. When she couldn't think of anything, she decided to test her balance. It was so quiet outside, she figured no one would be there. She put on her blouse, then her trousers, followed by her jacket and boots. When she was done, she quietly opened the door, careful to not wake Ymir. She knew Ymir was a heavy sleeper, so she didn't know why she bothered opening the door quietly. She slammed the door shut, which didn't even get Ymir to stir, which wasn't surprising. She walked over to the balance testing area, and realized someone would have to lift the lever on the crank for her to practice. She decided to find a stone. She found an average sized pebble which would do the trick. She lifted the lever a little and jammed the stone inside so she could practice without having to run back and forth to adjust the height. 

She connected the straps to her trousers and tried to stay as still as she could for 30 seconds. When that was done, she decided to go for a whole minute. When there was about 15 seconds left, something went awry with the height and she went so high she couldn't stay still and fell flat on her little, soft face. She started crying silently. She looked up to see a figure, not much bigger than hers, by the crank.

It was Lance Corporal Levi. He didn't even bother to look at Krista, let alone help her up. He just stared at the crank intently and said ''You little brat. You shouldn't be up practicing at night, and what's worse, you jammed a pebble into the crank and it hurt my fingers trying to take it out. Serves you right, falling on your face.'' He sighed and finally looked down at Krista, who was still crying. When he saw how much pain was in her eyes, and how crushed she looked, he instantly regretted making her fall, even though he didn't show it. He immediately, but slowly, walked over to Krista and offered her his hand. She was unsure to take it or not, but she thought she would look pathetic to anyone else who would see her. She slowly put her hand in his and tried to stand up. She fell down instantly and let out a whimper. Levi just looked at her and in two seconds had her in his arms. He looked deeply into Krista's soft blue eyes. That's when she blacked out. He carried her back to her dorm and set her on her bed. He took off her boots, jacket and trousers. He pulled the blanket over her and left the room, sighing.
