A couple of weeks had passed since I talked at the lake with Jean, we would talk every now and then. When we weren't training we would sneak out to go down to the lake and talk, I enjoyed our conversations.

The air outside had a certain warmth to it, the sun was hidden behind clouds, it had just finished raining earlier in the morning, the grass was still wet and the sky was a soft grey.

We were practicing hand-to-hand combat in the field. We all needed to pick a partner. Since Mikasa and I were at the top two in hand-to-hand combat we had to spar with the people at the bottom in order to level the strength of the top ten cadets.

Commander Keith Sadies entered the field.

" LISTEN HERE MAGGOTS, TODAY WE'LL BE PRACTICING HAND TO HAND COMBAT! THOSE IN THE TOP TEN SEPARATE YOURSELVES FROM THE REST, THE REST OF YOU LOT PICK A SPARRING PARTNER ! ", he yelled

Connie slowly raised his hand to ask a question.

"Uh, sir do you think you could please repeat the names of those in the top ten again, haha ?", he asked, laughing awkwardly, quickly saluting afterward.

" Listen here, boy. Your head must not be screwed on tight enough if you forget a piece of information as important as that, not to mention your salute being on the wrong side. 

I'll repeat the top ten in hand-to-hand combat one last time."

The Commander was scary, or maybe it was just because he was bald, I guess those things kind of come hand in hand.

Clearing his throat he shouted,

"

Number one: Mikasa Ackerman

Number two: Y/N

Number three: Reiner Braun

Number four: Bertholdt Hoover

Number five: Annie Leonhart

Number six: Eren Yeager

Number seven: Marco Bott

Number eight: Connie Springer

Number nine: Jean Kirstein

Number ten: Sasha Braus,

Number 1 goes with 10, 2 goes with 9, 3 goes with 8, figure out the rest by yourselves.

Y/N it is your responsibility to put back the medical equipment used for training this week in the shed ."

"Yes Sir!", I saluted.

"Number two goes with nine... nine...nine...shit! ...who was number nine again?", whispering to myself.

After a minute of trying to remember the list I realized number nine was Jean, scanning the field to find my partner, I spotted him. We made eye contact and I walked over to him with a small smile painted on my face. His cheeks were a warm peach color compared to the rest of his face, it wasn't cold out, he was blushing.
