Sixteen || "I choose you"

First I want to say thank you for 200 Reads! I'm trying my best to write as much as I can! Enjoy! -M

I walk through the hallway to get my breakfast. "How could you not figure out that I like you?" Erens words have echoed through my head for the past few days. I can't keep my mind off of him. I felt really bad for not realizing.

While I was stuck in my thoughts, I run into someone who was standing in front of me. "Ah I'm sorry!" I say. Opening my eyes, I see the corporal standing in front of me.

"Brat you've got eyes. Use them." He said sipping on his tea.

"I'll try to next time." I say in response. I see the corners of his mouth form into what looked like a smile.

"Where's your boyfriend?" He asked me. I stood there looking down at my feet.

"We're not dating.." I say. "I actual my don't think I like him like that." The corporal sighs and grabs my hand.

"Well then you might as well start training. We have a mission in two weeks." He leads me outside where other soldiers have begun to train.

"Gather around, brats!" Levi calls. "You guys are going to fight!" He looks over at me. "Y/n, why don't you chose who you want to fight?" I look around at the soldiers surrounding us. All these people.. I think to myself. Their not really worth it.

"Well I choose you, corporal." I say. The captain and all the other soldiers look at me in shock.

"Fine." Levi says taking off his cape. "Don't start crying when you get hurt."

"Yeah, good luck to you too captain." I say.

"Everyone else get in a group and start fighting." Levi yells. People do as he says and quickly find their partners. Everyone seemed to be so scared of the corporal. Maybe it's just me, but he doesn't intimidate me at all.

I get into a fighting stance as Levi stands with his arms crossed. "You're not- Never mind." I say. He ignores what I was about to say and quickly runs us towards me, throwing a punch at the right side of my face. I dodge but then feel something hit the left side of my stomach. I look down and find the corporals leg coming in contact with my left side.

I stumble down to the ground but get up quickly. He didn't wait for me and threw another kick in my direction. I caught his leg and kicked the foot that was keeping him standing. He fell to the ground and the solders around us watched the fight.

I quickly ran over to pin the captain to the ground. He kicked my stomach, causing me to groan in pain. He flipped me over and pinned my arms above me and held my legs down.

"That wasn't bad." He said as the cadets around us whispered at each other. Levi got up from the awkward position we were in and wiped off the dirt that was on his uniform.

I made it up to my knees before vomiting on the grass. The powerful kick he landed on my stomach made me sick and caused me to throw up everything I had eaten that day. "Disgusting, cadet." Levi says. "You need to come to my office after dinner."

"Right." I say weakly. If it weren't for him kicking me, I would have won. Mikasa comes to my side trying to help me stand. "Mikasa I'm not that injured."

"Well you fought the corporal, I would think you were."

"No. She put up a good fight. She's actually pretty good. I could only land two hits on her." Levi says fastening his cape around his shoulders.

"Well good for you, Y/n." Mikasa says smiling. "I'll still be taking you inside to rest." She forces me to walk with her down to her room.

She forces me to sit on her bed and get comfortable. "Mikasa, throwing up was a normal reaction. I had just eaten before I went out to fight."

"I still don't trust it. Give it until dinner and then I'll be sure that you're okay." I listened to Mikasa. She's lost enough people in her life. And anyways, it's nice to have someone looking after me.

The door creaks open and a familiar voice is heard on the other side. "Hey, Mika-" The voice is cut off once it sees me.

"Eren.." Mikasa says walking over to him. Mikasa and Armin both don't know what Eren had said to me a couple days ago. "Y/n fought the corporal."

Eren looked over at me in shock. "Levi?!"

"Yes!" Mikasa says. "He kicked her and caused her to vomit. She says she's fine but I don't trust her." Eren makes his way over to the bed I was sitting on. He sat beside me. I felt uncomfortable with his presence.

"You sure you're good?" He asks me. He sounded really concerned.

"Yes. I'm fine. Mikasa's just worried over nothing. Trust me." I say.

"Mikasa.." Eren says, "Can I speak with Y/n in private?" Mikasa nods and leaves the room. "Y/n.. I'm really sorry if what I said made our relationship awkward."

I keep my eyes in my lap. I don't want to look at the boy. I know I've hurt his feelings. "Have you been staying away from me?" He asks in a shaky voice. "I never see you anymore."

I bring myself to look at his face. A tear was threatening to come out of his left eye. "Eren, I'm sorry I just don't know how to tell you."

He looks to the side. "You can tell me anything." The tear falls out of his eye.

"I just don't like you that way. You've always been a brother to me." He nods as I continue. "You have no ide-"

"Don't do that." He says. Tears fell freely from his eyes. His face was soaked with his tears. I continue what I was saying anyway.

"Eren. Your an amazing friend. But I think that's all you'll ever be." He wipes away his tears and look back into my eyes. I could feel tears welling up in my own eyes. I hurt him.

"I'm sorry Eren." I wrap my arms around him and give him a hug. He wraps his around me and cries in my shoulder.

"Can we continue to be friends?" He asks.

"Yes, Eren. You will always be my best friend."
