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 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.
