  "Hey, -name-"

 "Hm?" You turned to the redhead. Both of you were in charged for cooking duty. You were wiping the washed plates while she was cooking some stew.

 A small giggle came from her when she paused for awhile to answer you. At that time, you actually did not really like her though she was one of your closest friends. Not because of anything wrong, but she seemed.. Perfect. So perfect which it made you burn with jealously. And, you could see that she liked the same man you did, not like she told you, but it showed a lot of obvious hints. You also noticed that Rivaille showed some interest in her, that made you almost not stand any chances at all.  Further more, not even a single person knew about your liking towards the corporal. No one knew that you were also deeply and painfully in love with him.

"I'm going to purpose to Rivaille before the expedition"

It took some time for those words to process in your mind. Seconds later, it finally hit you. Does it means if he accepts it, they're going to get married after this?

"-name-?" She tilted her headsideways. 

 The plate that was in your hands slipped out and crashed to the ground. Your eyes stared at her blankly. Sooner, your finger balled to a fist. You knelt down to pick up the shattered glass. But you were actually not paying attention. The sharp edges went through your fingers, leaving cuts and blood started to ooze out of the said area. 

"Oh my god, -name-! Are you alright??" She hurriedly helped you to get up and went for a first-aid kit. She arrived back as fast as she could and bandaged your fingers. Crimson smeared the white cloth but it stopped at some point. 

 As she helped you to clean up, you continued to kneel there helplessly, more to say lifelessly. Without your knowledge, a tear fell out of your eye and sooner began to flow endlessly. You did not make any effort to wipe it away or what because your brain was too busy echoing the words Petra said earlier. 

"-NAME-!" She shook your shoulders several times. You blink a few times and finally, you were back. "I'm okay" You threw her one of your worst smiles ever.

"Um, Petra, what were we talking about before?"

 She left the ready food on the table and finally, you were able to make your normal faces so that she could not worry more.

"As I was saying, if heichou accepts me, we might get engaged straight away and maybe get married a week later after this!" A blush crept on her fair cheeks thinking about how advanced her thinking was. 

"Heh, sorry for being so naive, I haven't even asked him yet" She scratched the back of her head.

 It hit you again. The tears continued flowing out like a river. You quickly wiped it out with the sleeves of your jacket but it continued shortly after that.

"-name-! Are you okay?" She patted your shoulder gently. 

"Ah, I'm fine. I'm just.. Er-happy for you!" You came up with a majestic lie together with a 'warm' smile. 

"O..kay?" An eyebrow raised from her left eye but sooner she smiled sweetly at you. Yeah, so sweet that anyone could get diabetes.

 You quickly pulled her into your embrace, brushing her hair with your fingers. She hugged you back. More tears spilled from your eyes but no one saw it. 

You helped her to set the table but returned to your room after that with an excuse of you not feeling well.

--

 You spent the whole night sobbing to your pillow and waking up to swollen eyes.

-(somewhere near episode 22/23)


  You sat beside the crate where Eren lied. You stared at the wrapped up corpses of the Special Operation Squad blankly while Rivaille stood there beside you. In his hands was the Scouting Legion badges of his fallen comrades. 

 His fingers clutched on the said items, hard. You were expecting a small cry from him, but instead, he just glared at the dead bodies in front him. You watched him kneel down slowly, his hands on his chest saluting firmly.

--

 There sat the corporal in the dim room with Eren sitting beside him. The man with black raven bangs sipped his tea calmly. After a few chats with the brunette teenager, you arrived with Erwin, Hanji, Jean and the other two of the Shiganshina trio. You took a seat beside Armin until the end of the meeting.

"-name-, could you stay with Levi? He seems very down after the expedition. Try to talk to him.." Erwin patted your shoulder.

 You simply nodded slowly and walked towards him. You pulled a chair out and took a seat. The man stayed as he is, emotionless. You wanted to say something, but it died off in your voice box when you opened your mouth.

 Your heart ached. Though he seemed okay, but the truth was the opposite. You understand him. Though both of you were actually quite close, he distanced himself from any other people but Eren, since he was under his care. 

 Neither of you spoke a word until he put his teacup down to the saucer. 

"I assume that you know what Petra was planning to do after this expedition"

You wanted to say something in respond, you somehow just nodded in answer.

"As I predicted." 
"I don't know, -name-, what should I do?" 

 You gritted your teeth. What should you do? 

"Actually, heichou, I know that this is the worst time to say it, but.. I liked you even before you meet Petra. I just.. Can't say it, seeing her like this. I'm sorry, but I just need you to know before it's too late."

He lifted his head, eyes widen but it turned back to normal shortly after that. 

"So I see."

Your heart dropped like, straight down to hell. It sank deep like, to the bottom of the ocean. You saw this coming, but the pain, it should not hurt as bad as this. Why was I stupid enough to say it now anyway? 

"That's all?"

"Yes, that's all." You stood up, pushing the chair back to it's own place. 

"You can find me to talk or anything if you want, I'll be in my room." You walked out of the placing leaving the corporal there alone.

--
You remembered the time when you peeked from behind the wall to see Petra's proposal. His reaction was completely different. He was smiling back then.

 You returned to your room and sat on your bed, arms hugging your own legs. You buried your face in your knees. As expected, he did not come to find you. 

You knew it for so long, she was the only person for him, and she's gone.
