A/N Sorry if you don't ship this! I find it to be a genuine and realistic shipping and to be honest i find it cute. I do ship Rivetra as well as Eretra but I hope you like this!

"Eren!"

The young boy's eyes opened slowly. He looked to his left and saw his arms were still chained to the bed he has been thrown onto and caged like an animal. He sat up slowly and looked towards the bars of his cage. Where two guards from the Military Police Brigade stood at either side to stop anyone getting harmed by the beast that was Eren Jeager.

Slightly to the left of the center of his cage, a woman stood, facing him. She had golden brown hair, which barely reached her shoulder, and her eyes shone like the sun. The Wings of Freedom on her uniform capturing Eren's gaze.

She was part of the Survey Corps.

Eren crawled closer to her, towards the end of his bed, where she held a large piece of bread out to him, through the bars. He blinked at her. Why was she giving him food? Didn't she know who or what he was?

"Take it..please...I don't want to see you starve, Eren."

Eren accepted her food and ate it hungrily. She smiled at him, a beautiful white smile flashing at him.

"What are you doing here, Miss Ral?!"

The girl was startled, jumping to a salute as a short man with jet black hair made his way towards her.

"I-I was just checking on him, sir."

"That was NEVER your order Miss Ral. Go and clean the horse stables! We will speak of this later."

The girl saluted once more and left, flashing one last gorgeous smile at Eren before leaving.

A few days later, when Eren was given to the Survey Corps, he went to meet the remaining members of the Special Ops Squad. Oluo, Eld, Gunther, Hanji, Levi, and-

"Eren!"

Eren was tightly embraced by a girl.

As she pulled back a little, Eren saw the sunlight catch her golden eyes. It was her! Ral, the girl that gave him bread while he was imprisoned. She smiled at him.

"Oh Eren I'm so happy you're with us and not those bastards in the Military Police. I can't believe they would've killed and dissected you like you were some sort of damn animal!" Her wrists clenched in anger as she thought of Eren's narrowly escaped fate.

Eren rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah...I'm really happy to be part of your squad."

The girl smiled again and turned around when Oluo called her over,

"Hey, Ral! Come over here!"

"Coming Oluo!"

As she ran off, her golden brown hair bounced as she made her way towards her best friends, Oluo, Gunther, and Eld. Eren had to admit. She was absolutely gorgeous. She was by far the kindest person Eren had met since joining the military three years ago. With possibly the exceptions of Mina and Krista. Eren felt a small pang in his chest as he thought of Mina.

Mina Carolina was in Training Squad 104 with Eren. He had trained with her on numerous occasions, and she was a good friend, but he never felt any romantic feelings towards her. She had been killed in the battle for Trost. Along with more of his friends. As he pondered this thought, the names kept coming back.

Mina...Marco...Thomas...Hannah...Mylius...Tom...Nic...

Eren bit his lower lip and fought back the tears. He realised that he hadn't grieved for his fallen friends yet. His sorrowful thoughts were interrupted by a nudge on the shoulder from Hanji Zoe.

"So...you like that girl, eh?"

"Huh?!"

Hanji started laughing. "The girl over there, goldie?"

"oh...uh.."

"That over there is Petra Ral. The strongest female soldier in the military."

"Really? She's the strongest? She's so kind. I thought she'd be more fierce and angry, like Mikasa."

Hanji shrugged "10 Solo titan kills and 48 assisted kills."

Eren's eyes widened. He turned and looked back at Petra, who was laughing back at a joke Gunther was making.

"Petra Ral.."
