for following and "favouriting" my story! :D You don't know how happy this makes me! :D
I totally suck at the summary. There's not much to say from me but since it's the school holidays here I'll be updating my story as much as I can! I would really want to know if I had some grammar errors and would be grateful if you can correct me, and suggest me some EreRi fanfiction for me to read as well! The best I have read so far are Eros Magna, Something Infallible As Eternity, Ashes to Ashes and and Monster! :D I really admire the authors' creativity and the skill they have for writing. They're the ones who inspire me to write, so Thank You! I'll end my meaningless blabbering now, so…here's the story!
Chapter 2: Alarmed
"Oh crap oh crap oh crap I'm gonna be soooo dead!" said Eren panickly while he scrambled to get dressed. Quickly, he buttoned his shirt and put on his jacket. He was tying his leather straps when he suddenly found his hands tangled up. "Aw man! I need to hurry! Please don't do this to me!" He spent another five minutes trying to untangle the straps. After getting everything ready Eren literally sprinted to the training grounds.
~Rivaille's POV~
That stupid brat. Yesterday he woke up at 4 a.m. in the morning and said that he can't sleep. And now he's late for today's training. He's going to receive punishment for sure. Corporal Levi signaled the other trainees for another two laps around the HQ, as Jean was slacking off. Although I hate to admit it, that boy interests me. He had something that made him different from all the other trainees. He had such a strong spirit and yet, sometimes so weak. Hmph. He blowed the whistle as a signal for the trainees to move on to their next training. I'm going to train him until he become the best soldier. He had the talent. And I'm going to draw everything he's got out of him, not leaving a single thing left.
~Normal POV~
Eren arrived at the training grounds with everybody staring at him with that " You're dead meat " look. Slowly I lifted my head and my eyes met the corporal's. They were filled with anger. Everybody very well knew that being late was lacking in discipline, and lacking in discipline means punishment. Eren gulped. He got the feeling that this punishment is not going to be what he had received before. Trembling, Eren walked over to the corporal.
"Cor-corporal I'I'm….Ugh!" a fist hit him in the stomache, making Eren crouch and yell in pain. Despite the corporal's size, his strength is definitely incomparable and challenging him means death. "You insolent brat, do you know the consequences for being late? For MY training?" the Corporal said in a harsh tone. "Y-Yes….c-corporal…" Eren said shakily. "No lunch for you today, Eren Jaeger, and you may go and clean the toilet. NOW!" the corporal hissed. Really? He'll let me go by just cleaning the toilet and not having lunch? "Don't get your hopes up brat, you'll be seeing me in my office, at 2 p.m. sharp. Got it? I'm not going to repeat myself!" Just as I though, Punishment training. Again. Eren saluted to the corporal and went away sullenly.
*scrub…scrub…psst…psst…
With his jacket off and sleeves rolled up, Eren scrubbed the toilet floor, worrying about the punishment that he would be receiving later on. Realizing that he was spacing out, Eren quickly returned to the cleaning.
*flashback
"Just as I thought, you stupid brat, you did a horrible job in cleaning. You'll receive your punishment. Tomorrow morning you'll do double of everything." Rivaille said in disgust as he saw some spiderwebs on the ceiling and a corner of dust which Eren missed.
Eren shuddered at the memory he recalled. He remembered having a hundred push-ups, with the corporal sitting on his back, as an additional weight. Corporal Levi actually weighs a lot heavier than he looks. Whenever his hands were trembling and he laid on the floor exhausted, the corporal would land a kick to his ribs, forcing him to push himself up. Although the corporal trained him in a very harsh manner, there wasn't any hatred towards the corporal. Eren simply respected and was actually a bit honoured, for having to be trained by the Corporal Levi himself whom he had looked up since he was a kid. When he was little, he and Mikasa always waited in the crowd, as they watched the Recon Crops return from their expeditions.
Unexpectedly, Eren found his mind drifting away again. He snapped out of it and scanned the toilet once more to make sure that there wasn't anywhere he missed out. The toilet had always been in a dirty state, as there was hardly anybody who would clean it, except for the corporal, who was an obsessive clean freak. Having make sure that everything was done, Eren gathered up the cleaning supplies and headed for the 'Cleaning Room' (the place where Corporal Levi put all his cleaning tools).
~Rivaille's POV~
Hmph. I wonder if that brat has done cleaning the toilet, whatever, he'll do a terrible job, just as always, and I'll end up cleaning it again. I just can't stand anything or anybody who is dirty. Whenever Hanji approached me after experimenting with her titan pets (which means she'll be covered in germs and dust) and tried to land a hand on my shoulder, I dodged her swiftly and was tempted to spray my disinfectant on her face. Hmm..seems like the trainees' training for today are over. I should go and check on that brat to make sure that he wasn't slacking off.
I arrived at the toilet located on the second floor. As I went in, I skimmed through the area. There weren't any spiderwebs or dust. Just to make sure, I ran my finger across the sink. Suprisingly, there wasn't any dust. Hmph, that brat has learnt from his lesson I gave him last week huh. Feeling satisfied with the brat's work, I went back to my office. As I reached for the doorknob of my office,
" Corporal Levi! Three titans were sighted north from the HQ! A 5 meter, 6 meter and 3 meter class! " Petra reported with an alarming tone.
"What? Why the heck would there be titans here in Wall Rose?" I replied, trying to remain my calm.
"It is unknown, corporal! Trainee Eren Jaeger has taken the lead of the emergency attack squad, with Sasha Braus, Mikasa Ackerman and Jean Smith!"
"What the hell? He should be under my nose! Why didn't you inform me immediately?" I yelled at her. "Although Eren Jaeger's skills are decent, but that emotional brat could just lose control if anything goes wrong!" Without waiting Petra's reply, I rushed towards the direction where the titan sightings were reported, feeling slightly angered.
I really don't know how to end a chapter. QnQ I think this was probably really boring coz I'm typing this in the middle of the night, with my head uncontrollably "fishing" away. Well, I hope anybody who reads my story might leave a review on your opinion or kindly give me some advise on how to make the story better! I would really appreciate that! Until the next chapter! :D
