How you met:

"(y/n), this is Petra Ral. She will be showing you around headquarters and introduce you to your fellow squad leaders." Erwin spoke.

Petra saluted with a smile on her face. You smiled back holding back a giggle saluting as Petra lead you out the door of his office. You both let out a girly squeal and hugged once you were out of Erwin's hearing range. You were both childhood friends. Now that you turned 22 you were able to apply for squad leader and got the position. You will start working closely with Corporal Levi Rivialle, and Squad leader Hange Zoe, and of course Commander Erwin Smith- all whom you've met and talked with before. Apparently there was another squad leader whom you've never heard of, but you were excited to see them.

"I can't believe you are actually here! It's so nice to see a face from home," said Petra.

"I know right! Now I can finally see this mysterious "Levi" of yours. How is your fiancée?" you ask.

"He's great- you will get to meet him in a bit. Let me introduce you to the rest of the squad and Hange first. But first, how is your guy back home?" Petra asked wiggling her eyebrows.

"I thought you were supposed to be the mature one" You said rolling your eyes.

"I'm only 24" she said shoving you.

"Mmhmm. Anyway he dumped me." You said huffily.

"Don't tell me… for Pricilla Underwood?" she asked.

"Yup. I'm okay though. Anyway I'm kind of done with guys and- Ooof," You say as you bump into another person, making them drop all their paperwork.

"I'm so sorry, here let me get that," You say bending down to grab some papers as Petra followed.

"It's okay. I'm Mike by the way." He said as he gave you a light sniff.

"Ummm hi Mike I'm (y/n)." You said handing him a stack of papers backing up slightly.

"Oh this is perfect! He actually is the other squad leader. Mike, this is the new squad leader who will be working with you, Hange, and Levi." Petra explained as you all got up off the ground.

"Ahh…well here's a little advice. Don't wait until the last minute to fill out all the paperwork like I do. It never ends well." He said.

"Thanks…I'll remember that," you said as he continued descending the staircase.

"By the way, I couldn't help overhearing, but that guy doesn't know what he's missing out on," he said waving his hand back.

As you continued up the stairs Petra started to giggle.

"What?"

"I thought you said you were done with guys."

"I am"
"Then why are you blushing?"

Your cheeks turn an even darker shade of red.

"...Shut up."
