Chapter 2. Flying on Wings of Fredom

I use to think the Survey Corps was filled with the bravest of the brave. I wanted nothing more than to be like one of them. even as a nieve child I knew they were humanitys last true hope for ever regaining anything past the walls. even as a child I knew we were never ment to be held in by walls on all sides. my brother and I would sometimes lay awake at night in our little alley way we made our home and talk about all the things we'd do and see when we grew up and joined the corp. that dream never came for my brother. it makes me wonder if it had been me that had been eaten that day if he would have taken the same path I have. that's an anwser i will never have.

currently I was standing sandwitched in between Levi who was stairing ahead of him the look in his eyes intense and the guy who i had met on my first day who i found out was named Bennard Collons or just Ben for short, my fist clenched tightly in a salute as the commander was talking up on a stage. I had tuned out his speech having no interest in what he had to say about any of the other corps. most of the cadets in the top rankings would go for either the Millitary police or the Garrison. I on the other hand knew exactly where i was headed, being ranked fith in the cadet rankings allowed me to choose where i would be placed and i had already chosen even before i had become a cadet. I unlike the many other cadets had chosen to join the Survey Corps one of the most dangerous yet important corps. surprisingly i wasn't the only one to choose the Survey Corps, Levi had decided to join and so had Ben. although Ben said i was insane for deciding so soon without knowing my ability. i had just shruged him off. The commander finished his speech allowing us to relax and leave if we wanted to get some sleep before our first days.

Xthe next dayX

I awoke with a start having been pushed off my bed, my eyes wide when i realize that Levi was standing in my room looking annoyed as hell.

"what the hell Shorty!" I yelled at him glaring in his direction.

he twitched at the name before pointing to his attire. he stood there in white boxers, his arms crossed over his chest. I looked at him in confusion.

"why are you half naked in my room?" I asked tentivly a light blush on my face.

"this is my room idiot!" he growled out in annoyance. "couldn't you tell?"

my face heats up even more. his room? I look around noticing my pristene surroundings.

"wh-why am I in your room?" i stuttered.

"hell if I know!" he statted still obviously annoyed. "I just woke up to find you in MY bed next to me!"

my face turned a million shades of red at the thoughts running through my mind. I may only be fifteen now but I knew what sex was. I paled thinking the worse.

"n-nothing happend r-right?" I asked afraid of the anwser.

"what?! no!" Levi panicked waving his hands in front of him. "I went to sleep as soon as I made it to my room!"

I relax at his words but remained puzzled at how I had gotten here. just as I was about to get up out of Levi's bed a familliar face poked his head into the door.

"ya mind keepin it down?" he muttered seemingly unaffected by my perssence in Levi's room. "some of us are still trying to sleep it's eleven at night."

I blink.

"Ben did you see how Reina got here?" Levi asked.

"mm'hm, she just stummbled in here."he muttered clearly still half asleep. "kinda like she was sleep walkin or somthin."

I mentally facepalmed as Levi looked at me.

"you sleep walk?" he asked.

"sometimes. it doesn't happen often." I replied blushing lightly. "in fact i haven't done it since i joined the cadet corps. i guess it might have to do with what day it is."

Levi looked at me with a raised brow in questioning as Ben left stumbling to his room.

"my little brother was eaten by an abnormal on this day three years ago." I said to him before muttering. "that was one birthday i'd never forget."

Levi sat beside me before reaching an arm around my shoulders and giving me a somewhat akward one armed hug. it was then that I noticed the wetness on my cheeks, I was crying, I hadn't realized it. slowly i relax into Levi's embrace allowing myself to feel the comfort of another before moving away to wipe the tears away.

"thanks Levi." I whispered. "I-I needed that."

he only nods not knowing what to say. I smile softly to him before leaving his room. maybe he isn't the stick in the mud like i thought he was.

Dark: hey guys! so that was just a little fluff to get a small somewhat friendship going between Levi and Reina so tell me what you think. do you want more fluffy moments or would you rather have them be rivals in the titan killing department? next chapter! Reina's joined the Survey Corps! what will happen when she is placed in a squad and has to make one of the hardest desicions of her life? find out next time! oh and review!
