Amelia was sitting on the couch in the commander's room, drinking tea that she has requested. She was wearing the typical Survey Corps uniform, only instead of a white collared shirt, it was black and she was wearing her family's crest around her neck, almost in a bolo tie way. Her brown hair was tugged into a bun, so she can keep it out of the way for training purposes, since her hair came down to waistband of her pants. She hated the way things have played out in her life and she wanted nothing more than to just go home. Amelia's blue eyes looked up from her tea and glanced at the tall blond, who was sitting at his desk doing his usual paperwork. She placed the teacup onto the saucer, that was in her other hand and she decided to take a glance around the room. 'It's pretty plain. The walls were white, only yellow now because of the candles in the room, the wooden floor was looked like it was swept just an hour ago, even though no one came into the room all day and the room was quite spacious, even with the big desk in the room.' She thought to herself, before uncrossing her legs and standing up. The noise of her boots hitting the wood made Erwin look up from his spot.
"Are you done with your tea?" he asked, standing up. Amelia only stared at him with a glare.
"Yes I am. I can put it away myself, no need to get behind on paperwork for me," she stated, heading out the door without even waiting for a reply. She had only been there since that morning, when she was dropped off by her dad, the King, so she could get to know Erwin more. She knew her way to the kitchen and the walk made her have time alone to think. 'Okay, so, my only job is to see if I have chemistry with the commander himself. Him and I have only known one another since 2 days ago when he came to the castle to talk about his plan. The only question is...why him? I mean, I know he's the youngest but I thought my dad would want someone who works for the military police.' she thought, furrowing her eyebrows a little.
Amelia walked into the kitchen, finding no one in there. She headed over to the sink and started washing the teacup and the saucer, more because she is the one that used it. She dried them before putting them back in their usual spot and she smiled at how it made her feel when she cleaned something on her own.
Amelia sighed when she realised that she had to go back to his room, knowing the tense silence will taunt her once again. She turned and made her way back down the corridor, her hands behind her back. She hated the boots because they made so much noise when she was walking down the hall. The straps were too tight, the black shirt felt weird and the brown jacket made her so hot that she felt like it she had to take it off. The only thing comfortable was the white pants that hugged her legs.
Amelia stalked into the commander's room and closed the door behind her. She noticed the absence of the blond man and that made her raise an eyebrow with curiosity.
"Erwin?" she called out. She heard footsteps from a room which made her turn her gaze to the door. Erwin came into her line of view and he was wearing a sleeping shirt but he still had his white pants on.
"Sorry, I was curious because you weren't at your desk," she said, making her way back to the couch.
"You may sleep in here if you like. I got two bed in here, since the couch isn't that great to sleep on," he said, adjusting his shirt. That only made Amelia walk to the room to see if he was lying but happily, he wasn't. There were two bed in the room and it seemed as though he gave her his own personal one, which made her frown.
"Oh, that's right. You need clothes to sleep in. Let me see if Squad Leader is still up," he said before leaving. Amelia just stood there, watching his tall figure walk away.
"Finally, I can get out of these stupid straps," she said, starting to undo them. She was stripped down to her black collar shirt and the white pants. She took off her boots and everything was folded neatly right next to her bed.
"Amelia. I got you a shirt and shorts from Hanji. They should -" Erwin stopped in mid sentence, seeing she has gotten rid of most of uniform. Amelia only walked up to Erwin and grabbed the clothes before walking to his personal bathroom. When she closed the door, she let go of a breath that she wasn't aware that she was holding. She quickly changed, let her hair down and sighed at the sight of her.
"I'm not gonna be able to sleep tonight..." she said to herself before walking out of the bathroom and heading to the bedroom. She saw Erwin sitting in his bed, reading, paying no mind to her. She only climbed into her bed and turned her back to him, closing her eyes.
"There's training tomorrow for you, so please get some sleep. Goodnight Amelia," she heard Erwin before the room went dark. She only heard shuffling before she finally heard him relax in his bed. She fell asleep, feeling annoyed about everything.
