The creaking sound from an old mahogany door breaking the silence in that place. Dark. Silent. Cold. The underground basement in Wall Sina's government building isn't a place for a human.

But, a soldier without his uniform walking into that basement. There isn't a single tint of hesitation appeared on his lack of expressions face. The pair of small and sharp eyes always looking forward to a single object there's kept safely in one of that basement's room.

The light from an old oil lamp is the only source of lights in there. His black blazer on his shoulders keeps fluttering around as that feet stepped on the ground. His expression doesn't change a bit, still the same flat and expressionless face.

He doesn't remember how many times he comes to that same and uncomfortable place. Suffocating... filthy... that man shivered in disgusted when sees a spider web tangling in one of that place's ceiling.

But there's the place he crossed his legs and sit on the dusty floor, staring at some object with an empty gaze.

And in that silence, a past memory played again on his mind...

...

The same man, standing petrified in the same place when he met with the green eyed teen. In an underground cell.

"Eren..."

He called that teen's name, but because his callings haven't been answered yet, he stepped forward and gripped hard on the iron railings.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS, EREN!?"

A brown haired teen with a pair of – not so bright as the past – emerald green eye brought his head up and stared weakly at the man in front of him. A weak mumbled voice can be heard from the teen inside the cell, "It's already clear what this meat about, Corporal Rivaille..."

He lifts the both cuffed hands to make clear about what just he said.

Rivaille sharpened his gaze. And slammed the cold iron railings again, "I can't accept this... I can't!"

Eren just stared at his Corporal sadly, "This is the decisions of the government, Corporal. Me, or even you can't do anything about this."

Rivaille shut his mouth tightly with the overwhelming emotions inside him, "You... You don't deserve this."

Eren just stay in silent.

"You don't deserve this."

Eren closed his eyes, just like he knows what are Rivaille's going to do.

"What are those peoples thinking after you saved their butts, huh?!" Rivaille erupted.

"Don't... do anything reckless, Corporal."

"You ordered me now, brat?" Rivaille sharpened his gaze at Eren, "I'm your superior!"

He walked a few steps away from that iron railings.

"And as your superior, I rejected the treatment you have after saving their lives!" And after that, Rivaille immediately walks away from that place – leaving Eren calling his name.

"Please...stop it... Corporal..."

The one comes next is just the warm drops fell from Eren's eyes and slides from his cheeks.

.

.

Rivaille know that the end will come this way.

"Corporal Rivaille, if you keep rejecting this, I have to forced you go to a jail until Eren Jaeger's executions day. And if you keep doing the unneeded thing-,"

What? Takes my position away? Hah, like hell I care.

"-Eren Jaeger will be executed right now."

The voice from the judge closed the case. Rivaille petrified in that big courtroom. Irvin and Hanji just can stared at him in sympathy behind those small back, they knows that they can't do anything about this.

Of course, The Commander and Mayor from the 13th Scouting Legion's squad doesn't agree Eren have to be executed. As the last Titan remains.

The humanity already do a big expeditions around the world outside the walls after Titans anhilliated. But there are many members of Scouting Legion in dilemma because one of their most hard-working member have to faced a sad ending.

From them all, the most rejecting all of this is of course Mikasa and Armin – his childhood friends, and Rivaille – who loves him. Even though Eren doesn't know until now.

Rivaille's POV

After that, I haven't visits him again until the execution day arrived. There's nothing I can do again. I even prohibited seeing him until that final day. I never tell about my true feelings to him because I'm scared if something bad will happen to him if he has special relationships with me.

But now.

I regretted it because I never tell him about it.

Well, both of them turned out bad in the end. It's alright if I'm the one who gets the punishment – but, this is Eren. I can't let this happen. I'm a stubborn – not to mention, grumpy man, he's the one who softened me. Because of that, I guess I can't survive if Eren leaves me.

Time has passed away quickly without me realized it. I already standing in the front row of the crowding peoples who want to see the final time of the half-Titan human. One hundred years lived in terror, makes the humanity feared to let him live. Even though he's the one who freed them.

Selfish. Humans are indeed selfish. They are selfish.

Therefore, if they can be selfish, why I can't be selfish? I'm a human too, I'm selfish just like they are.

I grabbed tightly at a gun I hid under my black coat. My black eyes gazed sharply at my target – the one who will cut the head of the person I love. Eren, even if you don't know about it, but I'm here, always loving you. Even if you don't answer my feelings, it's ok. I will stay here, loving every memory about you.

Because of that, I will bet everything in this single bullet. I begin to aim to one of the executors.

Time has frozen. Eren sees what am I going to do. In a matter of seconds he stared at me with a widened eye in disbelief – but, immediately changed into a pair of eyes full of determination, and everything just go on.

Right before the executor kills Eren, and before I kill that executor, Eren bit his lower lip 'till it's bleeding and suddenly a familiar bright light appeared with the wind's roar. I frozed. I just stayed watching the storm, not moving an inch while the people around already runs away from this place. Hah, there are even a people being thrown away by the wind.

But my gaze never looked away from your position.

I thought there will be a huge Titan with black hair and emerald eyes appeared and roared really loud. But. The one I saw is a silhouette of a different thing. Cold feeling instantly bursting from the place where Eren is.

After everything has calmed down and my brain can recognize him; He closed his eyes in peace inside of a cold ice. Same as the one like Leonhardt did that time. The unmelted and undestroyed ice. The immortal ice made from Titan's essence.

Just with bit his lip and not like your usual way – bit your hand, you can do the transformation. The point is; just hurt your body physically is enough to be the trigger, I guess.

Every pair of eyes staring at you just likes Snow White in her glass coffin. I rushed jumped to the execution's stage and start to observe you. That ice is really cold, big and clear. Your both hands wrapped elegantly above your stomach, and both of your legs are stretched straightly. The elegant way to sleep. You face is in peace.

What a beautiful sight.

Tears falling down to my cheeks. I moved by your beautiful in peace appearance, but... I'm afraid that you will never wake up. My fingers touch the cold ice, and leaned my forehead there.

You do this for me, right, Eren?

You saw me ready to kill that executor, and if that happened, then I will be punished badly if I get caught. And in the middle of the crowds I'll definitely being caught. You do this because of that.

You freed me from the hard punishment.

My tears falling down like an endless waterfall.

"Corporal, the outside world is really beautiful!"

I don't need a world without you in it.

"Someday, let's explore the world together!"

I'm not going, without you.

.

.

After that I intended to kill myself with the single bullet that I prepared for the executor. But Irvin come and throw away my gun. I dragged back by a few people from the Military Police and the ice that have Eren in it – being moved away.

Hanji tried to encourage me – who looks like a crazy person without a will to live in this world anymore. I've messed up. I don't care anymore with clean, I don't want to do anything other than stays with Eren in that cold room. Mikasa and Armin come to several times. Hanji kept pulled me – sometimes she comes with Irvin, to do activity just like a normal human; like, take a bath and eat.

But I always come back in here.

Until someday I come back to my usual self – a little, and my love for hygiene comes back – I said to Irvin and Hanji they can go outside if they want, to the wide world. I'm ok to stays in here. Moreover, Eren's here too.

But they're refused it.

Mikasa and Armin refused too to not go without Eren. But they soon busy with works from the superiors. Now, Mikasa and Irvin busy with their task in the Scouting Legion, while Armin keeps doing an experiment with Hanji – search for a way to takes Eren out from that ice.

And I, still here, accompanying Eren.

Not sure until when, I don't know. If then Eren comes out from that ice or not, I don't know.

Until forever, I don't mind.

I will always waiting for you, Eren.

I love you.

Always.
