Hey guys! I know I haven't updated in a week but I couldn't. You see, it was my Dad's week and he has no internet because he's a loser. But now that I'm at my mom's, I can type all of the words I want. :D Again, I'm really sorry for not updating sooner. I know it's been a week but I hope this chapter will make up for that. Since there isn't really a story in these couple of episodes, I have room to improvise. Please review the story and tell me what you think. The story has about 7,000 views right now so there should more reviews then 21 -_-. Anyway, I hope you like it and here is the chapter!

Ch. 20

I can't believe that we won. I'm still shaking from the excitement I had gotten when I heard the judge dismiss us. It was like everything I prayed for came true and went in my favor. Eren was now in control of the scouts and Levi decided to bring me to their headquarters as well. He knew my crush on Eren was huge and that clearly wanted to protect him with all I had. I'm starting to feel like Mikasa now. Did she feel the same about him? I haven't seen her since the trial but I knew she's doing okay, now that she knows her brother is safe.

"An architectural marvel, don't you agree?"

I brought my head up to look at the voice after all of those thoughts roamed my mind. I looked ahead and saw a castle-like building that I assumed was HQ. I smiled and nodded.

"It's beautiful."

I said in a soft voice. The man smirked.

"A proper royal residence, once upon a time, and more recently our former headquarters."

I giggled as I looked at the man who was talking. His name was Oluo Bozado. He was about middle age or so and by the looks of it, probably a smart ass. He kind of reminded me of Jean but it's probably just the hair. For now, he was being pretty nice to us so I wasn't complaining.

"Don't you think it's a little fancy to be the former headquarters of the special operations squad?"

I said with an eyebrow raised. He stared at the castle.

"Fancy, yes…But absurdly practical once the scouts got down to business. Much, much too far removed from either river or wall. This was the early days for us, you understand. Hopes soared high. Now this opulent bobble is more of a holding cell. The place where we store our newest toy."

He said with a smirk. I rolled my eyes at him. By 'toy' he meant Eren. I hope they aren't mean to him while we are here. If they are I'll have to kick some serious ass, especially Levi's. I turned to the side again when I saw the man whispering to Eren. By Eren's expression, I could tell he was probably talking some smack or something like that. I laughed slightly as Oluo bit his toungue and blood poured from his mouth. Serves him right, the bastard.

"Here we are. Why don't you two give your horses a rest over there?"

Levi said as he pointed to a barn that was a few yards from the main building. Eren and I nodded our heads and galloped our horses to the spot of reference. I jumped off my horse and stretched.

"Ah, that sun feels really good. I'm glad were finally here."

I said with my arms above my head. Eren smiled and brushed the horses hair with his hand.

"Yeah, I guess. I'm just glad that I wasn't put in the military police's control."

He said with a chuckle. I waved my hand at him and snorted.

"Please! We were 100 percent sure we would get you out of there."

I said with a cocky smile. Actually, that wasn't true. I really had about 40 percent of hope in thinking we would get him out. But he doesn't know that, does he? I looked to my left to find a pail of water and let my horse moisten his throat from it. I looked back at Eren and faced him. He was wearing a dark green hood that wasn't covering his head at the moment. I liked it that way anyways. His hair was probably the top 5 things I loved about him, hehe. He looked at me and tilted his head.

"What?"

He asked. I backed up a little and gave a nervous laugh.

"Oh nothing! Just thinking is all."

He laughed and gave my arm a playful punch.

"You!? thinking!? I hardly believe that."

I laughed and punched him in the arm way harder than he had punched me. He grunted and smiled slightly as he rubbed his arm. He knew by the force of the punch that he was on thin ice. Yeah….I can't take a joke…

"Yeah whatever, like you're so smart big guy?"

He brought his hands up in defense and chuckled.

"I never said I was a genius."

I laughed and blushed as his adorableness. Out of my peripheral vision, I could sense the only girl on the squad looking at me and smiling. I kept glancing at her since she was staring at me and I got red in shyness. I hate it when people stare at me. It makes me feel like a freak or something. I walked over to her and she greeted me.

"Hi, I'm Petra. I'm sorry for staring at you but I couldn't help but notice the fact that you were blushing every time Eren talked to you…Care to explain?"

My eyes widened. Am I that fucking obvious!? I looked to my right and then back at her. I looked at the ground and started to stutter like an idiot.

"N-no."

Was all I said and she giggled.

"Oh come on. You like him, don't you?"

I looked into her eyes and smiled slightly, shrugging my shoulders.

"W-well…Yeah. You see, we have been friends for about five years now and it was about a year ago when I started to get butterflies in my tummy every time I talked to him. I don't know what's wrong with me. I've never really been with anyone so I have no idea what the hell I'm doing."

I continued to ramble on until Petra put a hand on my shoulder. She looked at me with her light hazel eyes and gave me a soft smile.

"Maybe I can help you with that. You see, you're thinking about it too much. Your worrying if he likes you or not or if you kissed him, would it be good? Robina, you have to stop worrying and just tell him how you feel. In the world we live in, time is of the essence. Use every single second to your advantage."

She said. I took in her words and looked at her, admiring her advice.

"Have you ever had this kind of thing happen, Petra?"

I asked her. By the way she looked, it probably had happened. She was really pretty and she pulled the medium hair-length nicely. Her eyes could make any guy melt so she had a lot going for her. Petra smirked and stuffed her hand in her pocket, digging for something.

"Well yes. Please don't tell anybody I showed you this though."

She said as she took out a ring. I gasped and looked at the shining diamond. It was the brightest thing I had ever seen. To put it simply, it was gorgeous. I brought my hands up and widened my smile.

"Who was it? Who proposed to you?"

I asked in a whisper. She was about to answer me but was interrupted my Levi. He looked at us with a weird expression and took a look around.

"Well this place has gone to shit since I last saw it. So I say…..grab a broom and get this place back into shape."

He said as he walked away from us. I stared at his back and smirked.

"He sure likes to clean, huh?"

I said to her. She smiled and blushed.

"Yeah, I know. I love that about him."

I looked at her quickly and looked confused. I glanced at Levi then back at her a few times before realizing what she had just said. She and Levi were…oh my god! Levi, you ladies' man! Hahaha….Wow.

"Holy shit, you and Levi!?"

I said with complete shock. She giggled and nodded.

"B-But….How!? He's the most stubborn guy I know and doesn't take shit from nobody. How did you two even get to liking each other!?"

I shouted in a whisper so no one else could hear. She rolled her eyes and walked after him.

"That's a long story for another day. But while you're waiting, confess your love to Eren before he's taken. He is a very handsome boy, Robina."

She said as she disappeared with Levi in the headquarters building. I looked at the ground and my face went red. She was right. But I tried to confess and he ended up dying before I could tell him, or at least I thought he was dead. Then we got caught up in a huge battle and I never got the chance to tell him anything. But maybe Petra was right. This would be the perfect moment to tell him. We were in front of a castle in the woods. Perfect scenery anyways…

"Robina, can you help me put my horse in the barn?"

I heard Eren yell from where he was at. I smiled at him and nodded, running to him.

I grabbed the horse's rope, or leash, and Eren put his hand over mine. Oh shit….The warm feelings of our hands was hypnotizing. I almost felt like fainting from all of the blood rushing to my face. But he didn't seem to notice as we walked his horse in the barn. We both let go of the leash and the cold air surrounded my hand once more. I gave a depressed look and Eren looked at me concerned.

"You okay? You look depressed about something."

He said with worry in his eyes. I shook my head but then grabbed ahold of his arm slightly.

"W-well actually…I kind of need to tell you something Eren."

He turned to me and looked at me with his bright turquoise eyes.

"Okay, what is it?"

He said, expecting a problem to come out of my mouth. I looked at the ground and took a deep breath.

"I had actually tried to tell you back when the battle of Trost began but someone interrupted us and then we had to go to our destined posts."

I was stuttering now and my cheeks were blood red.

"…I-I umm….I wanted to tell you that I…"

I squealed in frustration as I couldn't get the words out of my mouth. He grabbed my shoulders and steadied my body, looking me in the eyes.

"Just tell me, Robina. I can't stand to see you all flustered up like this."

He said. I opened my mouth again slowly.

"Okay, Eren. I really…"

A stopped when a broom was shoved in my hands. Levi stood there with a face that said 'let's get to cleaning.' I just glared at him and took ahold of his collar, dragging him a few feet away from the confused boy I liked.

"Damn, what is it?"

He asked as I pushed him slightly.

"The THING is that I was about to tell Eren that I really liked him but instead, A FUCKING BROOM WAS SHOVED IN MY HANDS BY A FUCKING DUMBASS! THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE AND EVERYONE KEEPS INTERUPPTING ME! FUCK!"

I screamed in his face. He backed away from me with slight guilt but waved me off.

"Well do you want me to tell him for you?"

I slapped the back of his head and snatched the broom from his hands.

"NO I DON'T WANT YOU TO FUCKING TELL HIM! I'LL TELL HIM! Let's just get in there, fucking clean, and then you and the squad leave me alone so I can confess to him. FOR THE THIRD TIME I REMIND YOU!"

I said as I stomped to the castle. I was really pissed, but calmed down as I thought about it. I would tell him tonight when everyone was asleep. I promised to myself that I would so I will, even if I have to wake him up! Levi followed me slowly, leaving a gap between us, and stayed his distance. He knew that when I was mad, I was like a dog in a cage that had rabies. Eren walked over to him and raised his eyebrows.

"What was that all about? Why is she mad? Did I say something to make her angry?"

Eren asked with worry in his voice. Levi glanced at the boy and shook his head.

"Just get to work, Jaeger."

And that is the end of the chapter! Yes, please hate on me for interrupting her confession AGAIN but the next chapter will not be interrupted and maybe I can show you why the story is rated 'M'! That is, I get a good number of reviews or comments or thoughts whatever! If you wonder why I say reviews and comments, I post my stories on Fanfiction and Quotev.
