Sorry for the late updates but I was quite busy this week and I won't be updating too often because I have a lot of summer holiday work for school and ugh. =_= anyway! ^-^; enjoy the new chapter! There won't be much going on in it.. Sorry about that but I had no idea what to write. This chapter will be quite short because I' waiting for the new episodes to come out because I don't want to spoil anything! Sorry for any grammar and spelling mistakes.
"Corporal! Corporal! What do you need to talk about? Are we going to kill titans? Are we?" Eren fell silent for a few seconds before muttering, "I will slay them all.." and clenching his fists.
"Eren. We are NOT going to kill any titans. We're just going for a walk."
"A walk?! but that's boring!"
"Shut up. I wasn't finished. Listen, there is a reason as to why we need to go for a walk." Rivaille looked over at Eren and started walking.
Eren, after realizing that the Corporal started walking, quickly started walking too and followed the Corporal. "So," He started and looked around. "What is it?"
Rivaille sighed, knowing that the boy won't shut up unless he tells him why they needed to talk. "I'll tell you in a bit."
"But Corporal, I could be training now instead!" Eren whined and looked down at the corporal once they started walking next to each other. "You're supposed to train me! Not walk me.."
"Shut up and listen,"
"Yessi-"
"I said shut up." Rivaille glared at Eren. "In less than a month we'll be going outside. A lot of people will die. Do you understand that?" After a while Eren nodded his head. "I've got some advice for you. Do NOT get emotionally attached to anyone because if something happens to them, you will most likely blame yourself. Got that?"
"Y-Yessir..!"
"Now go back to training. I've got things to do."
A while later..
As everyone was training Annie was the only one not doing any work. Irvin, noticing the way she acted, walked over to her.
"Annie Leonhardt?" She looked up at the tall blonde man and frowned.
"What is it, commander?"
"You've been avoiding doing any training for a while now. Your excuse is..?"
"I believe I was trained well enough." She looked around and sighed.
"Re-"
"Hey! Annie! Have you been causing trouble?" Reiner nudged Annie's side and looked at the commander. "Commander! I believe that Annie should do some serious training!" He grinned at Annie.
"Then be her partner."
"Me? but she's too stro-"
"It's an order." The commander looked at the two soldiers then turned on his heel and started walking away.
"What's up with you Annie?"
"nothing." She simply replied before knocking Reiner down with one kick. She looked over at the commander before sighing and walking away from Reiner.
Meanwhile..
"Rivaille! Guess what! I made some improvements! I made a new training schedule for Eren to make sure he training while in his titan form and while he's human! Do you want to hear about it? Of course you do! So, after he wakes u-"
"Hanji, why are you in my room and please take your stupid Eren files away. I've got work to do."
"Up at 6AM he will eat his food and at 7AM he will start his training just like others!"
"Hanji."
"Half way through the training we will take him to a different field and you and me will experiment! You will help me, right?"
"I will if you shut up."
"I knew it! So then we will train him until lunch! After lunch, when he's cleaned up and ready, I will send him over to you!"
"Can you leave my room now?"
"You will give him the papers I have prepared during the day to look over! You can give him a few orders until I finish preparing the experiment!"
"Okay, now leave."
"When I finish with him I will send him to you to look over him and maybe he can help you with your cleaning. The it'll be supper time so you will be free from him!"
"Hanji."
"Yes?" She fixed her glasses and smiled at Rivaille.
"How long did you spend planning this?"
"A few minutes."
"Get out." Rivaille sighed and looked back down at his work.
"Bye!"She waved at Rivaille before going out of the room.
"That woman.."
After supper Armin, Eren, Hanji, Mikasa and Rivaille were all sitting on one table in the dinning room. Armin and Eren were talking about the scouting legion and how they can't wait to scout while Mikasa nodded in agreement and made a few comments during the conversation. Hanji and Rivaille were talking about the next day.
"Hanji, you know that Eren has to train a lot, right? We can't have him spend too much time with his friends."
"But we can't tell him to not see them at all!" Hanji frowned at Rivaille. "Evenings like this and an hour to spend with his friends isn't too much! He needs to keep him friends. You should stay with them if it bothers you that much."
"I'm not staying with any brats."
"I'll tell Irvin to order you that! It will make you more.. hm.. sociable and more approachable!"
"Don't you dare." Rivaille glared at Hanji and before he could say anything else she was already out the door. He sighed then looked over at Armin, Eren and Mikasa.
"Eren, if anything bad happens, I will be there for you!"
"Mikasa! You and Armin are in different areas. You can't break the formation that commander Irvin organised for us all!" Eren quickly glanced at Rivaille that was sipping his coffee before looking at Armin. "I'm sure that Armin will agree with me!"
"Yeah! And You'll be with Corporal's squad! I've heard that they are one of the best! I'm sure the corporal would choose someone suitable for the job, right?"
"Yeah." Eren smiled at Armin and Mikasa nodded in agreement.
"Anyway, Eren. While we were looking at the formation we weren't told where you are." Mikasa leaned over the table, towards Eren.
"Oh that. Well, miss Petra told me that I shouldn't tell anyone where I will be."
"Why?"
Rivaille put his cup down and looked over at Armin that looked as if he was thinking. "Safety reasons!" Eren replied to Mikasa's question and smiled.
Armin looked up at Eren. "You're in the safest place, right?"
"Well.." Eren looked down at his hands.
"He is. You figured out his location?" Rivaille looked at Eren then at Armin.
"Not yet. There are a few places as to where he could be the safest."
"Don't tell anyone once you figure it out, got that?"
"Yes sir" Armin smiled at Rivaille then turned to Mikasa that was glaring at Rivaille.
Rivaille looked over at Mikasa and noticed her glaring. "What is it? Are you angry at me for some reason, Ackerman?" Eren looked over at Mikasa then at Rivaille.
"Yes. You went too far that day. I swear I'll shove my boot in your face one day."
"Hm? I'd love to see you try."
"Mikasa! Corporal! It's getting late! Let's all go to sleep now!" Armin quickly interrupted the two before anything could happen.
Mikasa looked at Armin then smiled. "Yeah. You're right. Eren, let's go."
"I can't."
"What? Why?"
"I'm under the corporal's care. He's the one that has to take me to my room. Well, the basement." Eren smiled at Mikasa then looked over at the corporal. "Isn't that right?"
Rivaille looked from Armin to Mikasa then to Eren. "No. It's been a while since you came here and we already know that you have to somehow hurt yourself to transform. You can stay in a proper room."
"Really? That's great! Did ya hear that?" Eren turned around and smiled at Mikasa and Armin before looking over at Rivaille. "So where is my room?"
"Ackerman, Arlert, go to your rooms. Eren, follow me." Rivaille ordered then started walking out the door and up the stairs. Eren waved to his friends before quickly following his superior.
"Corporal. Where is my room?"
"It's next to my room. I still have to watch over you." Rivaille looked at Eren while still walking. "And call me Rivaille."
Eren gasped a little then smiled. "Okay corpo- I mean Rivaille. Rivaille. That's a nice name!"
Rivaille looked forward again and sighed. "Here's your room. Everything is already there. If you need anything just knock on my door."
"Okay! Goodnight co- Rivaille!" Eren waved to Rivaille before going into his room.
Rivaille stared at the closed door before walking towards his door. He stopped and looked down at his hands. "Filthy." He groaned then started walking away.'Why are brats so annoying? That Armin kid sure knows his stuff. Hopefully he will keep his mouth shut when we go scouting outside. Irvin warned me about a traitor. But who could it be?' Rivaille sighed and snapped out of his thoughts once he was outside. He walked into the stables and walked over to his horse. "Your mane looks filthy. Come on, I'll wash you." Rivaille led his horse out of the stable onto a field nearby. On the way he picked up a bucket of water and a brush.
He slightly smiled at his horse and began to wash it. "We'll train tomorrow. Eren will come with us. Weird kid, huh?"
"So I'm weird?" A voice spoke from behind Rivaille and he froze.
"Eren. What are you doing here? You're supposed to be sleeping." Rivaille sighed then started brushing his horse.
"I needed a pillow and when I went to your room I noticed that you weren't there. Do you need any help?"
"No. I'm finished anyway. Let's go get you a pillow."
Eren nodded and started walking back to the stables. "You're really nice, corpo- Rivaille."
"Whatever." Rivaille led his horse back to the stables then started walking back to the Head Quarters. Once there the two boys made their way to the top floor and Rivaille walked into his room while Eren waited. After a few minutes Rivaille threw a pillow at Eren. "Go to sleep now." He ordered then shut the door.
"Goodnight, Rivaille.."
