Rivetra Week 2018
Day 1: Silence
Enjoy!
She was sitting with Eren in the dark room, wondering when they will be back. They were part of a gang, you couldn't survive the underground without being part of a gang. She had met Levi, the leader, when she lived in the streets with Eren. He had been kind enough to take them in and make them members of his gang, after passing some tests of course.
Now the others were out on a mission, while she and Eren were waiting at the base. Eren had been injured the last time and Petra has voluteered to look after him today.
"When do you think they'll be back?" -Eren said, his green eyes shining in the dark.
"I don't know, probably anytime now." -she answered, glancing at the clock.
A few moments later the door bursted open, revealing Levi and the others coming inside.
"We are soooo tired!" -Hanji said, inmediatly going to her room. The others followed suit. Petra and Eren got up, going to their rooms too. She was about to go upstairs, when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Yes Captain?"
"Come with me." -Levi commended. She walked after him, curious as to what he would tell her. Her heart was beating loudly and she felt butterflies in her stomach. It had been awhile since she discovered her affections for the captain, but she had tried to keep them disecret.
Levi pushed the door to his room open and montioned for her to sit on the bed. She was already feeling her cheecks getting hot. Keep yourself together Petra! Levi got the medical kit out of the drawers. Seeing it, Petra started to get worried.
"Is something wrong Captain?"
He didn't respond, but instead unbuttoned his shirt to reveal a large wound spread in his torso. Upon seeing it Petra gasped in worry.
"Oh! Who did this to you?!"
"Some fucker who deemed himself strong enough to pick a fight with me. I put him in his place but he managed to make a cut in my torso."
"Sit down Captain, I'll fix it for you." -she opened the medical kit, silently tending to his wound.
"It's not too deep, thankfully. It's probably going to heal soon." -she said, relief visibly showing in her face.
"Thanks."
He buttoned up his shirt and took the medical kit back in its place. Petra also got up, ready to leave. She watched him from behind, thinking about her feelings for him. Maybe this was her chance to confess. They were alone and noone would hear anything. She mastered her courage and took a deep breath before finally making a step forward.
"Captain, -she started.- I have something to tell you."
Levi turned to her and said: "Go on."
"I...I lo-ove you!" -and then she kissed him, closing her eyes. But he didn't kiss back, so she let go, keeping her head low, afraid at what he would say.
"I'll pretend you didn't do this."
"But... but I'm serious Captain!"
"This is ENOUGH Petra! Get out of here now, before I kick you out of the gang too."
"Yes sir." -she said, running staright to her room. Tears rolling down her cheecks. The next morning he didn't say anything, keeping silent about the whole ordeal. She acted as usual, but kept her distance towards him. If he wanted so than she would keep silent too, silencing both herself and her feelings for him.
