Rivetra Week 2 Day 1: Survive.

Summary: He thought he could survive a day without her. He thought wrong.

A/N: So hey guys. Yeah, first time participating in a fic week. Yay. First posted on tumblr. My username is armin-is-on-the-arlert


He has to live on. He knows he has to. Yet why can't he?

Is it because the familiar scent of her coffee is now gone?

Is it because her gentle and caring voice cannot be heard anymore?

Is it because her bright and sunny smile has long since faded away?


He was never familiar with fondness. The closest thing he had to fondness was his obssessiveness to hygiene.

So when did he start to care for her? What made him care for her? And most especially, why did he care for her in the first place?

He promised himself not to get attached to anyone. Ever since Isabel and Farlan…left, his heart grew colder than ever.

Yet how did she manage to melt the giant glacier that was his heart? Just who was she exactly?

All he knows is that she is no ordinary girl. She isn't petty. She isn't childish. She isn't cowardly.

In fact, she's kind, mature, and best of all, brave.

She was Petra.

Petra was the mother figure of the Levi Squad.

Petra was also the little sister amongst them.

Petra was just unlike any other.

She always made the best coffee. She always scolded Auruo for doing something irresponsible. She always smiled even when he frowned.

How could he let her go when she has a firm grip on his mind, heart, & soul?


Before, he didn't need anyone to survive.

But now, it feels like he can't last a day without her.
