she took you out of your comfort zone from the moment you first encountered her. she was on a marleyan ship and she had just shot her captain. you were filled with shock but you were also interested in her. she was extremely tall for a woman, had dark shining eyes, and you could sense from her personality that she was ambitious and was seeking a higher purpose.

yelena looked around at everyone on the other side of the ship. her eyes were drawn to you for a few seconds and you in turn held her gaze. she broke eye contact to start moving to talk to hange and levi. you stood in bewilderment for a few seconds before turning around to talk to mikasa.

your first private encounter with her was in the hallway a few days later. you were headed to your station and you weren't paying attention to your surroundings due to trying to fix a strap on your uniform. you ran into someone and immediately looked up to apologize. you didn't expect to see the person from a few nights ago standing in front of you.

"i'm sorry i should've been paying attention." you said to her. she stayed quiet for a moment before moving her hands down to the strap that was causing you issues.

"you seemed to have made it stuck by pulling the wrong way." she pulled on the strap and like magic it was fixed. your cheeks burned in embarrassment since this was an action you've been doing for years.

"oh yeah that's right. my brain has been all over the place. thank you for fixing it." you said as you moved to continue walking. a hand pulled on your arm, stopping you in your tracks.

"wait, can i walk with you to wherever you're going? it could count as you making it up to me since you ran into me." yelena said this with a light smirk on her face. still red from embarrassment all you could do was nod your head in silence. you were really very grateful for this opportunity since you were very interested in her.

some of the walk was spent in silence. yelena was trying to figure you out and you were trying to get over yourself.

"so" yelena started "you don't talk much do you?"

you smiled a bit at this and yelena noticed. it went straight to her ego. she made you smile. big deal in her books.

"i do talk, i just don't know what to say at this very moment." you replied keeping the tiny smile on your face.

"well you could start off with your name. knowing your name would be very much appreciated." yelena said half serious half joking.

"y/n" you answered her simply while looking up to her. yelena looked right back at you. yelena realized your beauty right then and there and she could feel herself staring. she broke contact and you did so well. she sighed lightly and showed a small smile.

"beautiful name, y/n. it fits you. my name is yelena. it's nice to meet you." you immediately started blushing again. you looked up to her again to see if she was serious and you could tell she was. yelena could feel you staring and it made her heart race.

"thank you. i think your name is pretty as well. it's very nice to meet you." you said this and searched her face for a reaction. she just kept on looking ahead and had what seemed to be a permanent smirk on her face with a light blush. she was giddy that you complimented her.

seeing that you reached where you needed to be you stopped and turned towards her. "thank you for walking with me even though it was an apology of sorts for you." you chuckled lightly as you joked. yelena smiled down at you. she was once again caught up in your bright shining eyes.

yelena turned to go back the way she came but before that she patted your shoulder and said "see you around, y/n". she winked at you and walked away. you just stood there trying to come back down to earth. you were fully invested and couldn't wait to see her again even for just a little bit like this encounter.

little did you know, yelena felt the same.
