Chapter 4
Breakfast
Breakfast was important.
The day of a soldier in the survey corps is exhausting and most nights are cold. Evenings were spent in the bathrooms or together with your comrades in the community rooms. But breakfast was the only time of day, where all were together and all were enjoying the same thing.
After I repaired the coffee-making-machine, coffee was a precious drink in the morning. After Levi-Haichou decided, that I would make him coffee too, Hanji and Commander Erwin insisted to have some of the "best coffee which were served here for years" too. Soon I made coffee for everyone. Don't get me wrong. I love to help my precious comrades and to be honest I am a little bit proud, that everyone loves my coffee, but it is tiring to make coffee for the whole legion.
One day I overslept. You know, I train very hard to make Haichou proud and to avoid being a burden. So I was so tired and every part of my body hurt, that I didn't thought much about my comrades, when I just turned around in bed.
I woke with a creepy Levi-face over my head. "WHAAA, Haichou!" I screamed while jolting up. "What the hay…?" I gathered my sheets around me to cover my nearly naked body.
"You didn't made coffee today. I was wondering if you are ill or something. But it seems like you are alright. If I were you, I would get up and make coffee. They all get rough if they don't get it." He said while walking out. "Why didn't Hanji wake me up?" I murmured, while putting on my clothes and I swear to god… I screamed to god, when Levi-Haichou was standing at the door saying" Because you look fucking tired."
"WHAT THE HAY? WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?! I AM STILL HALF NAKED!" I screamed. " You know, it doesn't matter if you are half naked, if you are exposing yourself to me." What?
It was when I realized, that I was pointing at him, so there was no arm or cloth that would hide my body. My red face got even redder while I screamed and hid my body.
"GET OUT!"
"Okay, okay", he said in a monotone voice, which was impressive if you think about the situation. He lifted his hands in self defense and was going to go out, when he stopped. "But you know, she didn't wake you up, because you are standing up at sunrise and go to sleep after midnight. When you were sleeping you murmured something and you looked pretty pale." He said, while I was putting on my final cloth.
"Is that so?" I said and could hit myself right after it. What a stupid question. "Are you afraid to sleep?" he asked.
"Huh?" I asked in confusion and guilt. How did he know?
He was right. I didn't sleep much, because I have bed dreams lately. My first mission is in 3 months. It seems like a lot of time, but I am so nervous. What if this would be my last. Was this going to be my life? 19 Years in a cage. Great life. When I close my eyes I see titans everywhere. Their rotten teeth are so close I could touch them. But I couldn't because this big hand was crushing my body. Why does it have to be so scary?
"You don't have to. We are all here. Hanji is right beside you and I think you are pretty close to Gunther Oulo and Erd too. And even I am here. You are good. I chose you, because you are talented and have a big heart. You won't die, I wouldn't let you" He said, while looking deep into my eyes, my soul, and my heart.
"My tears began to water and I said "Haichou, thank you.", when I heard footsteps on the floor. Hanji was leading Oulo Gunther Erd and even Commander Erwin into our room.
"Ahh, Levi, here you are." Erwin said while sitting down at a table.
"Oi Petra, you all right?" Oulo asked, while sitting next to him. "Hanji said you looked tired, so we wanted to thank you for your coffee every morning" Erd said while Gunther nodded. "So we made you breakfast! I know, the coffee isn't even close to yours, but we did our best, so we can eat all together" Hanji screamed, while putting a picnic basket on the table. " We thought about it. You make always coffee for us, but you also do most of the breakfast. So we decided to help you and make the breakfast tomorrow instead of you. You just have to make coffee, Petra-san" Erwin said, while he was helping Hanji and the others putting everything in order.
I was standing there, speechless. I could only feel, when my cheeks wetted, that I was crying. I couldn't help but sob. Everyone stopped in their tracks and looked horrified. Even Levi looked uncomfortable and wasn't sure how to react. "Did – Did we do something wrong? Shall we go?" Hanji said. "N-No." I sobbed. "I am happy. I am so ha-happy I can't stop crying. Thank you, minna" I cried and couldn't hold me up anymore and got down on my knees. "Thank you for being here and making this so much more like home. Thank you, nakama" I said while I tried to smile, but it must look pretty creepy with my tearful face.
I could see a lot of emotions in their faces … except for Levis, but even he had a small smile on his lips. Hanji was the first to speak. "You. YOU ARE SO ADORABLE" she screamed while hugging me. I was so happy that I hugged her back and after that we had a big group hug except with Erwin and Levi.
Erwin ruffled through my hair and said, that he was happy that I make this legion so much more cheerful and even Levi patted my shoulder. After that incident we all were eating together every morning. Some days later more and more soldiers were joining us and we looked like a big happy family.
The day as a soldier is hard. The nights are cold. But there is one time, where everyone is happy and cheerful: breakfast.
Ironical, if you consider, that we are all living in a cage, where the morning is the start for the hunting season of titans.
No. No,No,no,no nonononono. Fuck. Gunther. Why? Erd, Gunther. No! I don't want this! This is wrong! Help! Haichou~!
