DISCLAIMER: I do not own Shingeki no Kyojin.
It had all happened after he witnessed the young dark-haired girl sobbing. After seeing her crying like that, his emotions became overwhelming and confusing to him. Somehow during the day his thoughts would wander from his duties and to thoughts of the younger girl. His thoughts weren't of anything in particular but were more so a replay of the day he saw her in such an emotional state. Annoyingly enough she was the last one on his mind before bed and the first one when he awoke. It frustrated him terribly that this was happening to him and it made him uncomfortable to be around her at all. He was unsure of what it all meant as he had never experienced those kinds of feelings before.
The corporal opened his eyes. Was it already morning? It had felt like it had only been a second before he closed his eyes. Suddenly an image of the dark haired girl appeared in his mind and he bolted upright in his bed.
"Fuck..." he muttered and he rubbed his forehead. "Why the hell is that girl always on my mind?" he said and he looked out his window. "Damn that brat."
"Corporal?" came a voice from outside his door.
It startled him and he sighed. "Yes. Who is it?"
"It's Erwin," replied the other man.
The corporal sighed and he climbed out of his bed and made it up perfectly. He then prepared his uniform on the bed before replying to the man outside. "You may enter, commander," was all he said.
"Rivaille," said Erwin as he entered the room. He took out a piece of paper and handed it to the corporal. "I have a request of you concerning members of my squad. Are you interested at all?" he asked.
"Let's hear it."
"I would appreciate it if you would take some time and personally train some of my men and women in combat. Many of these individuals are very skilled but I would like to take their skill and bump it even further. I acknowledge their strength and I am indeed proud of them and their accomplishments. I have noticed that in battle they don't work very well in assisting each other and I would like it if you taught them a little about teamwork. Do you accept?"
The corporal only stared at the blonde haired man. Was he joking? Asking him to give up his time to train a bunch of kids? "I don't have the time, commander."
"Then if you will not take all then I ask that you at least take the Jaeger boy as your apprentice and a possible new candidate for your special ops team. He is very strong-willed and I believe he is a strong individual in strength itself."
The corporal's ears perked up at the name. Jaeger. There was no doubt that if the Jaeger boy was one of the individuals the commander was talking about then surely that girl would most likely be one of them. He turned to look at the commander and his eyes fluttered to the paper in his hand. He scanned it: Braus Sasha, Springer Connie, Braun Reiner, Hoover Bertolt, Jaeger Eren and... there it was. The girl who often occupied his mind... Ackerman Mikasa.
"Having second thoughts?" asked the commander. He could tell that the corporal was deep in thought. It was actually rather amusing to see him this way as the corporal rarely seemed the type of person who would actually take the time to think of this kind of request. Normally his answers were blunt or said rather quickly.
The corporal's eyes flickered up. "Yes. In fact I have decided to accept your request. I will train these men and women to the best of my abilities."
A smile crept up onto the commander's face. "That is good to hear. Then I shall assemble those names onto the field in the next hour," he said and rather hastily left the room.
The corporal sighed. He was surprisingly nervous. All day... that girl would be training with him. She would be by his side all day making him feel unpleasant feelings in which he didn't want. But... were they really that unpleasant? He cursed under his breath and walked towards his bed and readied himself for the day ahead.
