Well I think it is about time for another chapter for this story. This story takes a little bit longer than my other ones because it's going by the episodes and not what I made up so I have to constantly look at that episode I am writing on and make sure I haven't made any mistakes lol. I really wish that you guys would review the story more often. You don't need an account to review my stuff so yeah. I would also like it if someone helped me out on Deviantart and draw Robina and Eren together. That would be totally cool lol but yeah I've been really busy but I'm not one to take 5 months on a story and then its only like 1000 words -_-. ALSO, I AM PUTTING UP A POLL ON MY PROFILE OF WHAT STORY I SHOULD WRITE AFTER I'M DONE WITH THIS ONE. SO PLEASE VOTE FOR WHICH EVER ONE AND I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR VOTE.

Ch. 13

The plan is simple. Eren turns into a Titan and then puts the rock where the hole is in the wall. But it's not that simple. Hell, we don't even know if Eren can turn back into his Titan form. And if he still can, who says he won't go berserk and forget everything about the plan. The thing I'm most worried about though is his safety. I can't afford to lose him again. I can't even believe how I acted when he died. I acted like a dumbass and wasn't professional at all. I may have the skills of a high rank general but the only difference is that I'm a 15 year old girl who is way over her head. I looked down at all of the frightened faces of the cadets and it seemed like they were thinking the same thing. Pixis noticed this automatically and offered them a choice. Run away or try to take the district back. Knowing them, the majority of them will decide to quit and throw away all of the training I helped them with. But some stopped and listened again when the commander changed subjects,

"If you remember wall Maria…."

Wall Maria? Why is he bringing that up?

"The sound of reconquest had a nice ring to it, but it ended up having an ulterior motive. The population couldn't sustain itself in the limited space that it had, so the deaths that resulted from the mission were deemed necessary for the survival of humanity. It was a sin that all of humanity was guilty of, including me. However, if Wall Rose was breached, humanity would not be able to get off with just twenty percent of the population being killed. With only Wall Sina left for us to live in, less than half of the population could be sustained, which is why reclaiming territory this time is so important."

My eyes went wide as I let his words in. He was right. He was so totally right. I looked to my right to see Eren tense up. Don't get me wrong, Eren was tougher than nails but there was so much pressure on him. I think I'm going to make sure he's alright after my Grandfather is done but I think I should add in his influence.

"We have to stay and fight! If we run away, the Titans will attack us again and again until there is no one left! Do you all want that to happen!? You have to put your life on the line for your love ones and for yourself as a human being! If you don't, then you might as well walk right into a Titans mouth! I am sick of fear taking over our courage as soldiers! So now is the time to throw away that fear and give humanity all you've got. And if you do that, I know we will never lose this fight!"

` I yelled as my heart pumped with adrenaline. I took a deep breath after talking and swore I saw a few grins form down below. I turned to my Grandfather and Eren to see them smiling at my words. I smirked and turned to the crowd again.

"Now is the time to fight with everything you've got! Let's go!"

I said as I flipped my ponytail and disappeared from the cadets' view. My Grandfather cleared his throat and mumbled.

"I couldn't have said it better than myself."

I smirked and sat on one of the wooden boxes, crossing my legs. Eren walked over and sat right beside me. I looked at him and he grinned.

"That was pretty cool…..I mean, what you said…"

I blushed slightly and punched him in the shoulder softly,

"Oh shut up! I'm sure you would have said the same thing!"

He smiled softly and looked at the ground. I stared at him for a second and noticed that his shoulders looked really stressed.

"Eren, are you okay?"

I asked softly. He looked up at me quickly as his emerald eyes widened.

"Yeah! I mean….yeah. Why do you ask?"

I put my white-gloved hand on his warm one and patted it.

"Don't act like you don't know. Everyone can see that this is a lot of pressure that you are putting on your shoulders. I know everyone is depending on you but you have to relax. If you don't, you won't be focused and succeed in the operation."

He knew I was right but he, of course, didn't like to admit it. I put my hands on his shoulders and pushed them down.

"Starting with these."

He groaned softly as they went down and I giggled.

"Did you just get that sort of feeling when you lay on the bed and everything starts to hurt for a few seconds?"

He nodded with his eyes closed and I rubbed his back, my hand going up and down his back muscles.

"Well that's what happens when you're stressed so cut it out, big guy."

He sat up straight and his back bones cracked slightly, making me flinch. He looked down at his hands in his lap and began to speak.

"Your right, Robina. But I can't help it. I've never been in this kind of situation where everyone was counting on me to save their lives."

I smiled and ruffled his hair.

"I know but you will have me, Mikasa, and Armin by your side…Always…"

He smiled and nodded, looking back out into the district. We sat there for a minute before he gently rested his head on my shoulder. I gasped inaudibly and looked away from him. He closed his eyes and sighed.

"I'm sorry Robina, but I'm just really tired right now."

He said in a hushed tone. I was really glad he couldn't see the blush creeping its way to my cheeks because if he did I would have to kill him…..Just kidding…A couple of soldiers walked past us and snickered. I shot a bird at them and wrapped my arm around Eren's shoulder. He sighed to my touch and rested deeper on my shoulder.

"It's okay, get some rest. You deserve it."

After a few seconds, his breathing slowed and gave off a repeating soothing sound. I didn't realize he was this tired. I guess being a Titan can take a lot out of you. Commander Pixis walked over to me and smiled.

"So caring for your friends, I see. Just like your mother."

I smirked and rubbed my hand up Eren's forearm slowly.

"She really was amazing, wasn't she….He's really tired after being a Titan and sucking up to you."

I said with a quiet laugh. Pixis grinned and nodded.

"I know nobody likes a teacher's pet but I love them!"

I shushed him and he quieted down.

"How much time can he sleep before he has to SAVE EVERYONE'S LIVES, Grandpa?"

I asked as I gave him a look that said, 'give him a fucking break.' He sighed and took another sip from his flask,

"Normally I would say that there is no time for sleeping but I have to say, the boy needs his rest. He's your age right? 15?"

I nodded and smiled.

"Yeah and every teen needs sleep to grow."

He agreed and covered the sun from his eyes.

"I will give him about thirty minutes, okay? In the meantime, I will go talk to my elite team and give them the details of our plan."

I nodded and looped my fingers around Eren's hair.

"Thank you, Grandpa Pixis."

He nodded and left Eren and I alone again. I looked down at my crush again and kissed his forehead softly. He moaned softly as the skin of my pink lips came in contact with his skin. I couldn't help but smile. He looked so peaceful when he slept, unlike when he is awake and under stress. I brushed some hair that fell to his eyes and whispered in his ear.

"I'm so grateful you're alive, Eren."

He, of course, didn't hear me but I liked to think he did. I suddenly felt tired as Eren and rested my head against his.

I guess I need some rest too….."

I mumbled as I drifted off to sleep.

I woke up to my Grandfather nudging my shoulder slightly.

"It's time, Robina."

I nodded and rubbed my eyes. I know it was only thirty minutes but it felt like six hours. I rubbed Eren's cheek and whispered soothingly in his ear.

"Eren, it's time to wake up. Come on, wake up."

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at me. I smiled and he returned the gesture. He sat up and stretched his arms above his head. I did the same and stood up, offering my hand to him. He took it gladly and his tired expression quickly turned to an expression of seriousness and determination. I shook my head and giggled.

"You ready, hotshot?"

"Fuck yeah."

Was all he said as we made our way to Mikasa and Armin. We reached them and Armin immediately began apologizing for making Eren responsible for everything. Eren put his hand on Armin's shoulder.

"Armin, don't apologize. I have believed in you from the start, Robina and Mikasa too."

I smiled and nodded at the other blond. His crystal blue eyes sparkled and I blushed at his beautiful irises. I turned to Mikasa and she looked at Eren.

"I would feel better if I helped protect you along with the elite team. I don't want you to be alone."

Eren looked annoyed and it was presented in his tone.

"I'm not your little brother anymore, or your son. You don't have to protect me every time I do something. Besides, I won't be alone because Robina will be there."

Mikasa gasped and looked at me.

"Protect him okay…."

"You can count on me, Mikasa."

She smiled and went into a thinking mode until one of the leaders of our operation spoke up. Ian Dietrich. We walked over to him and he turned to Mikasa.

"Mikasa, I want you to come with us. Eren needs all of the cover he can get."

Mikasa never showed it but I could tell that she smiled on the inside. I smirked as I turned around to face Armin.

"Don't die, kid."

"Right back at you."

He said as we bumped fists. Ian turned around and faced the district.

"Alright…let's go!"

And that is the end of the chapter. Did anyone notice that I always say 'And that is the end of the chapter' at the end of every chapter? Lol I don't know why but I can't help but tell people the obvious. Anyway, this chapter was really fun to write because I really wanted to focus on Eren and Robina's relationship as of now. I wonder if she will tell him she likes him. I mean the story is rated 'M' for a reason right!? I guess we'll just have to find out in the future chapters. But for now please review this chapter and follow the story as you have done with the past chapters. I do ask that you take consideration about the DeviantArt request and PLZ VOTEE FOR MY NEXT STORY. THE POLL IS ON MY PROFILE! Anyways…thank you so much for reading and stay tuned for the next chapter!
