Yamya was laying in bed one weekend, sicker than a dog. She was sweating a lot and wasn't able to keep anything down that her father gave her. Erwin was deployed overseas and so it was Levi's job to take care of Yamya, despite the fact he wanted to clean her entire room for 8 days straight. It was 5 in the morning and Yamya just got done puking up what she was able to keep down from last night. Levi was tucking her in, ignoring the itch that was going through him to take another shower.

"I will call Mike to come over and take care of you while I head for work. I will be home as soon as I get off. If you need anything, tell Mike and have him text me what you want so I can grab it while on base. Do you need anything right now while I go downstairs?" Levi asked, stroking Yamya's hair, her blonde roots showing on her head through the black. Yamya only shook her head, her throat hurting from all the puking she has been doing. Levi gave her a small gentle smile before standing up and leaving the room. The only light that was on was from the lamp on her nightstand, which she asked to leave on so she had some light.

Levi went downstairs and grabbed his phone from the charging station and unlocked it. He scrolled through his contacts until her found the contact "Nose No Boundaries". He made that name for Mike after being in the Army with him and how he sniffed his way into Levi's life while he was dating Erwin. Levi smiled at his own joke before hitting it and hitting the call icon. Levi placed the phone against his ear and listened to it ring. After 5 rings, Mike answered with slight panic as those two never converse over the phone.

"Levi! What is it?!" Mike asked hurriedly as he was starting to slip into a panic attack. Levi felt guilt go through him before swallowing it down and speaking gently as he could as to not startle Mike.

"Sorry Mike. Didn't mean to scare you but I need a favor. I have to go to work in an hour and I need you to come take care of Yamya," Levi said, walking over to the coffee maker and turning it on to get it running.

"Yamya? Isn't she a little old to be babysat?" Mike asked, calming down from his panic and Levi could faintly hear Ryder whining in the phone.

"That is true but she is super sick so I would like it if someone was here with her just in case," Levi said, going over to a top cabinet that holds the bowls and cups and grabbed a black coffee mug before walking the two feet back to the coffee maker.

"Oh, sure. I can take care of Yamya. Do I need to pick up anything when I'm on my way?" Mike asked while shuffling on the other side could be heard, indicating that Mike was getting up from the comfort of his bed.

"No. We have everything here and if she wants to eat something, we have leftover chicken noodle soup from last night. She's having trouble keeping things down but she might last a few hours after eating before having to rush to the bathroom. If she pukes, just let her take a bath if she wants one and make sure to give her some apple juice with a small amount of water as to not upset her stomach even more. Just let me know if you need anything while I'm gone so I can grab it on my way home," Levi said, getting lost in the routine of how he has been taking care of Erwin when he got sick.

"Levi, I can handle Yamya. I'll be on my way in 20 minutes, should give me enough time to get there before you leave," Mike said on the other end of the receiver. Levi could only smile a bit before getting distracted by pouring the freshly made coffee into his cup.

"Alright, I'll stay out of our hair about it. She was never this sick with us and so I'm just a bit concerned," Levi admitted over the phone. Levi never tells people besides Erwin about his true feelings, even when he was alone.

"Levi. Erwin may not be here but I am and so is Hanji. If you ever need someone just to talk to, we are there. We know that you aren't use to dealing with stuff like that alone but we will both do our best to help you so you don't freak. If anything happens that requires her to go to the hospital then I will call you and let you know," Mike said reassuringly. He knew of Levi's past so he understands his freak out. Mike hurriedly went around his own home so he can get ready faster.

"Thanks Mike. I know but I don't want this to happen without Erwin here. He deserves to make any decision towards Yamya since he's more level headed with this type of thing. I wish this didn't happen while I was home alone but thank you Mike," Levi said. Mike paused at getting Ryder his food with general shock. Levi never thanked anyone with general feeling, even after Mike saving Erwin's life out on the field.

"You're welcome Levi. I think Yamya made you soft because you never thanked me before," Mike said with a chuckle before putting food into Ryder's bowl. Levi only scoffed and mumbled a 'shut up' before they hung up their phone call. Levi sat downstairs in the quiet house and looked around on his social media to see what Hanji tagged him in, messaged him with and what emails he had. He wanted to keep his mind off of Yamya being super sick upstairs and he knew cooking something would be a bad idea.

Before 6 o'clock hit, there was a quiet knock on the front door and Levi got up from the kitchen table to answer the door. Mike answered quietly and Levi sat there for a second wondering where Ryder was. Mike hardly ever left Ryder home alone.

"No Ryder today?" Levi asked, closing the door behind Mike and watched him take off his shoes at the front.

"No, I know you don't want a mess in here and you're already dealing with something so bringing Ryder would might make you freak out even more. Now, head on to work and I'll be down here to hear for commands from my niece," Mike said walking a little bit into the house to give Levi space. Levi only nodded before putting on his work boots and grabbing his wallet and keys.

"Let me know if anything happens," Levi said before opening the front door. Mike saw Levi off and waited for him to leave the driveway before walking back into the house and heading upstairs to check on Yamya. Mike found Yamya asleep in her bed and her lamp was on. Mike closed the door until their was an inch of opening before heading downstairs to sit on the couch to quietly watch TV. It was gonna be a long day for both Mike and Levi.
