Quite, gentle sobbing came from the empty dark hallways, waking up a certain female cadet. Slowly sitting up from her sleeping position, Ymir groggily rubbed her sleepy eyes and slammed her hand onto her warm covers, not caring if she wakes up her fellow comrades. It was quite obvious she was annoyed from her unexpected awakening. The careless girl smacked her her bare feet onto the wooden, ice-like floor and took an ear aching yawn and checked the bunk above her own and being surprised to be greeted by an empty, messed up bed.
"Where the hell is she?!" harshly whispered the the freckled teen while throwing the bed sheets up in one swift motion in hopes on finding a sleeping figure buried in the blankets. The sobbing continued.
"She's probably gone to the toilet or something" assured Ymir, falling back into the comfort of her own bed. The soft crying echoed throughout the hall which prevented Ymir from going back to her deep sleep again. The faint sound lingered in Ymir's mind.' Who the hell is up at this hour anyway?!' thought Ymir, fiercely throwing her legs off the bed and pushing herself up. The brunette girl furiously stormed out the room (which she shared with other cadets) and slamming the door behind her with a furious 'bang' like a gun shot.
"What the heck?!" yelled Sasha in fright. "Ymir, what the hell is your problem?!" she screamed, demanding an answer for her rude awakening and most likely waking up everyone else in the room.
Marching down the seemingly endless hallway, hoping to get her questions answered about the constant, distant sobbing. Ymir eventually came to a stop when she saw a petite figure crouched down on the floor. It's arms hugged it's legs as it sniffed into it's knees. Upon closer inspection, the reckless girl finally realized that this was, in fact, a clearly upset Krista.
"You okay, Krista?" asked Ymir, leveling up to the small girls crying form.
Krista looked at Ymir teary eyed and sniffing. "All our friends could die out there, Ymir" sniffed the tiny girl. "What if I'm too weak to protect them?"
Ymir stared at Krista in shock, she couldn't bare to see the delicate creature in tears.
"You're not weak" bluntly stated Ymir "I know you'll make it into the top 10"
"But what if I die? What if I get eaten by a titan?" Krista bombarded Ymir with questions, most of them revolving around her dying. She couldn't take it anymore.
"I'll protect you" interrupted Ymir. "So you can protect everyone else" she added as she wrapped her arms around the blondes small body. Krista returned the hug while a bright red blush was starting to bloom on her pretty face.
"I'll protect you until I die" softly whispered Ymir while gently kissing Krista's soft, smooth forehead.
"Ymir..."gently cried Krista as she squeezed Ymir's larger body. "Thank you, I love you..."
Now was Ymir's time to blush
