Sits next to the river watching the movements. Scanning the scene she sighs. "So pretty. I wish it were like this everywhere." She sigh. "Calm and peaceful."

@Jackson Kang Levi listened closely, letting his words sink in and his voice ring in his ears. "..I believe it is possible, only from over hearing a few things. Do I believe you could be one..? I..don't think it is impossible.." He sighed, and closed his eyes, turning to lay on his stomach, letting his mind wonder. "It is also possible that it's just your mind wondering and scaring you..your mental state might be down and your playing tricks on yourself..you never know..but, I suggest, if you truly think you are one..you need to not be around anything too stressful right now." He wasn't fully aware of what he was saying, somewhat in his own thoughts.

@Levi "I-It's nothing really...I just, well, I had a really odd, disturbing dream." And with that Jackson began telling Levi everything that happened in the dream-or more like nightmare. "In my dream, I-I saw a Titan going on a rampage. It's eyes were full of rage and bloodlust, wanting to destroy everything in it's path...the weird part is though, is that i-it kind of-no it DID look very similar to me." Jackson described the hair and eye color that was just like his. "I wonder, I've wondered this for a while now. I know it sounds like a crazy thought: B-But...what if I'm one of them?" That was a fear Jackson had always had. What if he somehow became one of the things he hated and despised most? "Or do you think it's just a nightmare?"

@Jackson Kang Simply nodding his head in response, he closed his eyes again, enjoying the cold wind. "Hopefully, I won't need it again any time soon." he chuckled lightly, and shifted to lay down, humming. Upon hearing him speak, he looked up at him with a raised eyebrow, "I can't say that I do, personally, no, if you are to ask anyone, it would be Petra." Levi turned a bit to look at him better, "Why do you ask..?" He had now peeked his interest, and of course he wouldn't stop until he got an answer that satisfied him.

@Levi "Mhmmm it was fairly." Jackson responded pulling his legs up to his chin. A light breeze ruffled his hair as he smiled again at the older male. "Hey not a problem. If you ever need it again, just let me know." He hummed thoughtfully, looking up at the slightly starry sky. "....Say: Levi?" Jackson began quietly, looking back over at him unsure as to how he were to ask this question. "Do you happen to know anything about Titan Shifters?" Part of him regretted asking that, but, he had to know just out of curiosity and if his dream meant anything at all or if it was just a dream.

@Jackson Kang "I supposed so, being as you should be asleep" He closed his eyes, and leaned back on his hands, head falling back a bit. "It must have been bad for you to not just brush it off and go back to sleep" Added the shorter of the two, opening one eye to look at him before nodding his head, "I do feel a little better, everything is fine besides my throat, it seems." Levi sighed, "Thank you for helping"

@Levi "I thought as much." Jackson said sighing softly, sitting down on the cool dew covered grass. "That's the same as me." He was thinking about telling him about the strange dream, but perhaps it'd be better if he were to wait instead. It really was mind boggling that much he knew. He shook his head however to snap out of those thoughts, smiling faintly at the older male beside him. "Well I'm glad you somewhat sound better at least compared to earlier today. You don't look as warm or ill." Jackson was pleased that the thing he came up with seemed to have done the trick.

@Jackson Kang Levi's mind tossed and flipped through thoughts that he didn't wish to think about, but it was inevitable, he would have to at one point- whether he liked it or not. He shuddered at the cold wind that blew around him, humming softly in delight as his hot skin seemed to cool down as it did. Hearing the familiar voice, his head tilted to look up at the latter, "Not as bad as I was...but I'm still a bit sick, yes..I shouldn't be, but oh well" he answered with a shrug of his shoulders. It was odd having someone who actually seemed to be concerned, though in his mind, he figured it was only because of who he was, not because he meant something. "Mm..not really, sleep doesn't seem to be on my side right now."

@Levi His dreams that started out peaceful and calm were now nothing but nightmares. He had a rather horrible, gruesome one as a matter of fact...but the thing is the Titan in his dream almost bared an almost exact resemblance to him. As the dark haired male stepped out into the field, trying to figure out what his dream could've possibly meant his eyes widened seeing Levi out here and groaned mentally. "Oh no...Y-You shouldn't be out of bed Levi: You're not still ill are you?" He asked in evident concern, shaking his head with disbelief at him with a thoughtful frown on his face. "You had trouble sleeping to I take it?"

@Jackson Kang It was anything but a peaceful sleep for the short male. Only a few hours at a time, if hours- he woke up in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat. Levi sighed, and rose to his feet, he couldn't sleep anymore. Ignoring the fact he had no shirt, he grabbed his other jacket and slid it on, slipping out into the cold night air with a hum, at least it felt better than how he felt in bed. He found himself out by the field, sitting down in the grass.

@Levi By the time the rest of his training was complete, Jackson was completely exhausted by the time him and his bunk mates got back to their rooms. His legs were still shaking and wobbily from all that running plus 3DMG training they had to do. The minute his head touched his pillow, his arms limped at his sides and he drifted off to sleep for the remainder of the evening. No dreams. No thinking or overly thinking: Just pure, blissful sleep.

@Jackson Kang "I already told you, I don't want you sick" He answered, turning over to curl up again. "Figured you would, Stubborn child" he sighed, letting his eyes close. It didn't take long for him to fall asleep, leaving reality behind once more that day. He did feel a little better thankfully, the nausea and headaches had gone away- though his throat still seemed to throb.

@Levi "You sure about that?" Jackson asked with a raised eyebrow. He felt a little guilty for leaving him like this, but nodded in understanding. "Very well then: I'll check on you later though after everything's been completed." Before he walked out the door however, he looked back in just one more time to make sure Levi was doing alright and finally left when he heard one of the cadets calling his name sighing heavily. "Yeah, yeah I'm coming." He called back, rushing over to them.

@Jackson Kang Glaring up at him, Levi fell back on his bed, raising his hand up to rub his bare chest, "I feel like , still. I'm sure I won't soon after, but still.." he replied, closing his eyes. "Now that I've been medicated, you can go..I'm sure you have thing to be done" He stated, giving a sleepy wave of his hand.

@Levi "Hmmm....I suppose I am." Jackson said chuckling lightly. A grin spread across his face at the expression on Levi's face after drinking it, shaking his head a little. "Well what'd you expect it to taste like? It's not supposed to taste pleasent." He spoke in a matter of factly tone, looking curiously at the older male. "So how do you feel? I hope I didn't screw up on it."

@Jackson Kang Shifting to reach up, Levi brushed his fingertips over his read cheek, releasing a weak chuckle, "You really are swayed quite easily." His eyes went back to the medicine bowl in his hand and he furrowed his brow before tipping his head to drink from it. The raven squeezed his eyes shut like a child, wrinkling up his nose as he put the bowl down, "That...is most likely the nastiest crap I have ever tasted"

@Levi A light blush crept over his face shaking his head side to side. "N-No that's fine..." He muttered but chuckled sheepishly at his response. "I'm afraid that's the only way to make you feel somewhat better. You won't get sick trust me, I've made this before to test it out there's no side effects." Jackson exclaimed honestly with a reassuring grin on his face. "You'll be just fine."

@Jackson Kang "Do I need to prove it?" His eyebrow cocked, looking up at him from where he sat. "Wow, thanks, great way to start that." Rolling his eyes, he sighed, and rubbed his forehead, "Fine..I'll try, I guess.." he muttered, and reached for the bowl, scowling a little. Levi stared at the substance before wrinkling his nose, "If I throw up..so help me.." he muttered, simply staring at it, "Is there anything else I could do..?" he asked, shifting his gaze back up to him.

@Levi "What? Y-You actually feel...something for me?" Jackson lifted his head in complete shock, dumbfounded by Levi's words at first but he shook his head to snap out of it and grinned at his response. "It's horrible not gonna lie, but it really does do the trick. I did countless research on it so I hope it wasn't for nothing." It was considered one of the best cures around actually from what he studied, pleased to see he had finally seemed to get Levi to try it out.

@Jackson Kang "But, I would be lying if I didn't say I had feelings for you as well" He stated with a simple shrug of his shoulders, followed by a small cough. Levi gave a wave of his hand, clearing his throat a bit, "I'm so sick of this " he sighed, and rubbed his temples. If he hated anything, it was feeling useless, which is how he felt right now, being sick. With another sigh, he looked up at the latter, "I guess taste doesn't matter if it gets rid of this crap."

@Levi "I see. That's reasonable..." Jackson nodded in understanding, rubbing the back of his neck. This really was the first time he ever felt so strongly for someone, perhaps he should think about things first before diving head straight into something he might regret doing later. "I understand. Perhaps that would be best." He hummed thoughtfully, wanting to give this a little bit more thought after all. "I-I just thought I'd get it out in the open, finally off my chest is all. I'll give it some more thought." It was always best to think with your head after all rather then your heart.

@Jackson Kang Levi hummed a 'thank you' as he got off of him, and stretched before kicking the blanket off, getting hot once more. He thought nothing of what he said, mainly because he didn't really like when emotions got involved with anything. Looking up at him, the male raised a finely shaped eyebrow, "I would say that I'd need to do something so you could get your feelings straightened out before you do something stupid because you don't understand your own emotions, though I would only respond with telling you how I felt" he answered, slowly sitting up. His headache had gone away, but he still felt like hammered . He let the thought of having feelings for the latter pass through his mind before shaking his head, he wouldn't be dealing with that until he had to.

@Levi He flinched lightly at the other's words, but, perhaps he was right. Could Jackson actually be developing something for Levi? "...Maybe I do." He whispered lowly, slowly getting off him and biting his lower lip. Jackson always did have a small crush on him but he assumed that it was always just that. Levi was really the first person, whom he ever felt strongly connected to. "W-What would you say if-if I...Did say I felt something for you?" He murmured softly, picking at some invisible dust on his arm feet shifting nervously on the floor unsure of how to explain really.

@Jackson Kang Levi stayed silent, somewhat quickly drifting off into a world of oblivion, being brought back to the pressure on top of him, "You know, if you keep doing things like this, I'm just going to assume you like me." The raven raised his hands up to rub his eyes, groaning as he furrowed his brow. Listening to the other made him shift, shuddering a little at the , "Remember my response to this last time? I'm not too sick to say it, or do it" he threatened, tipping his head to look up at him, narrowing his eyes.

@Levi "Ah you're impossible." Jackson groaned mentally. Then a lightbulb went off in his head, as he smirked slyly in his mind. Putting the bowl of medicine down, he began crawling slowly on top of him thinking the way he woke him up that one morning would work. "Please Levi?" He purred almost teasingly in his ear. "I'll be happy if you just drink it. You don't even have to drink all of it, just do it for me won't you?" On the inside he was mentally kicking himself for doing something like this, but desperate times called for desperate measures right? He then his earlobe gently. "Pleeeease?" He spoke in almost a begging sort of tone something he hated doing.
