SONG: Dancing on my own

Y/N'S POV:

       "Have you confessed already, y/n?" Levi asked. "I want to, but I can't bring myself to do it. Maybe it is just like how they always say it, 'it's easier said than done'" I replied. "It's better to confess so you won't regret it when it is already too late." With those last words, he left.

          Levi is like a brother to me. We are both from the filthy underground together with Isabel and Farlan. Many things had happened over the time; we soon lost Isabel, Farlan and almost everyone that are precious to us. Then, Levi and I became a Captain and a Squad Leader. It doesn't matter how many times we fall; we will always stand up, face forward and manage to continue living on. On our way to our future, we met two people that Levi and I have never imagined that they will be significant to us, Hange and Erwin.

          This leads to my situation right now. Hange Zoe, a squad leader like me and my best friend, seems to be my problem. It all started when I assisted her about the titan research; we are both assigned about the titan studies since Commander Erwin noticed our unbelievable fascination about these gigantic creatures. I'll make it short, we became closer and I fell for her. That is also the reason about the talk that I had with Levi earlier.

         I absolutely love everything about her. Her attitude, her way of thinking, her overall appearance, her nature, everything really. She's been with me through ups and down; whenever we had a problem, we help each other overcome it. Almost everyone knows that I like her and they are pushing me to profess my feelings. Now, don't get me wrong; I too agree that I need to let her know how I feel. I just can't get the timing and the mood right. I'm trying to ask my squad for advice but all they say is either about direct confessing or some stupid joke of theirs to make fun of my situation.

      "Y/N, do you like someone?" Hange asked. I got too flustered by her question; all I can do is stare at her, which is really embarrassing by the way. "Y/n, are you okay?" "Oh, yeah...I'm fine" "okay, if you say so; do you like someone?" "Yes, I do fancy someone; why'd you ask?" "Nothing in particular, curious is all. Now, tell me about this lucky person" She asked excitedly. "Okay fine, I'll tell you." I replied chuckling at her cute behavior. "She's very smart, beautiful, and understanding." "Wow, I can see the look in your eyes when talking about her, you're so in love." "How about you Hange, do you like someone in particular?" She blushed as she looked down. " "Yes I like this guy for a few months now, he is so caring towards me; he's always there to fix me whenever I am a utter mess" "ohh" "I actually brought up this conversation for this; you see, I don't know what to do about this new profound feelings that I have for someone. This is the first time that I have felt this." "Just confess to him, he probably likes you back, seeing what kind of woman you are." I faked a smile, stood, then left. I'm not certain if she buys the fake smile that I showed earlier, but at least I left the conversation earlier; its better like that.

         She already loves someone, I guess it can't be helped, "oi oi oi" "Levi...I'm not in the mood for your lecturing right now, not today at least." "Tch, who cares if you're not in the mood? I saw you with shitty glasses just so you know" "okay" "That's it? You haven't even professed your feelings yet! At east let her know how you feel." "What's the point??" "People come and go in this life.....there's a chance that you won't be able to see her the next day you know." "I don't know Levi, I'm not certain of what to do." "Here's a piece of advice, I'm only saying this once for your nonsense, you hear me? ....We don't know what's going to happen in the near future, there are also some actions that we can do while not knowing the consequences. To tell you the truth, it's completely normal to experience those. So, its better to make a decision than do nothing. That's all, hope you understand it."

         It took me long enough to land on a final decision; two days of sleepless nights. I'm going to tell her how I really feel. It doesn't matter whether she accepts, rejects or get mad at me. Well, I'm not sure of the words that I would need to use to convey my feelings so I'll just make it direct.

         'This is it' I thought. "I'm not sure if I am ready to be friend zoned, but I need to do this." That's when I realized that I am already face to face with her door. I knocked on it, three times; you know the usual knock. I'm surprised because the moment that I knocked, the door slightly cracked open. I'm sure that there are two voices inside; woman and a man. Obviously Hange is the woman.

         I know that what I'm doing is wrong, prying at their conversation and all. I looked inside the slight crack of the door. My thoughts are confirmed; my assumption that Moblit is the man that is. "I like you Moblit" Hange said. "y-you're what?" "I said I like you "she repeated. "Since when??" "I know that it is embarrassing but it started for some time now; if my calculations are correct, I started feeling this for a few months now. I understand if you don't feel the same." "Whoever said that I don't like you??" Moblit replied. They stepped closer to each other, they seemed to be lost in each other's gazes and then, their lips connected.

         I'm standing there not knowing what to do. Just there, frozen in one place. I did not even notice that my tears are falling down; I thought that it was raining. I left that night; I don't think that I'll still be able to confess after what I saw. It will surely ruin the mood of their happy night. In the end, Levi is right; I should have confessed earlier. Now, I truly regret it.

       I guess I can never get out of this zone huh?.......Never enough to be a lover.....just a friend....friend.
