I slowly made my way back to the headquarters. Hange sure knows how to destroy someone's sleep schedule.

We've been working nonstop for two weeks. With the expedition in 10 days, we can't afford to take breaks.

The sun went down multiple hours ago and should start rising again soon. My eyes felt heavy from the lack of sleep and my dirty uniform clearly shows that I've been working.

After a short walk through the halls, I ended up in my room. I quickly threw off my uniform and changed into the standard issue sleeping attire. It's just a sleeveless top and somewhat comfortable biker shorts but it works.

I threw myself onto the bed and felt my eyes flutter shut. 'Finally... I can sleep'

Just as I begin to fall asleep, my door slammed open.

I groaned before turning to face the door to see who's disturbing me. The light from the halls revealed a scientist with messy hair in pajamas.

"Hange? What are you doing here?" I groaned out.

"Ah Y/n! I'm glad I caught you before you fell asleep."

"Yeah... so glad." I mumbled before sitting up on the bed.

"I just got the clear to experiment on Eren tomorrow! Aren't you excited!" They beamed with a smile they lit up the room.

"Very. Im afraid my lack of sleep is preventing my face from showing how ecstatic I am." I said and laid back down.

"Oh... sorry."

"It's alright."

They walked back to the door and closed it before sitting on the bed next to me. I suddenly felt a warm presence right above my head. I opened my eyes to see who it was but my eyelashes grazed another's.

Hange's face was right above mine. I could count the amount of lashes on their eyes.

Heat quickly shot up to my face at the close proximity. What are they doing? Why do I feel like this?

"I'm sure I gave you just enough sleep so that you wouldn't end up like this. Have you been sleeping at all?"

I froze up at the question. I in fact had not been sleeping.

"No..."

"Is something the matter?" Curiosity and sadness blanketed their face. "Is it about those visions you keep getting."

I couldn't answer. How did they know?

I nodded my head before dropping it low in defeat. 'I can't hide anything from them.'

"Y/n.... why didn't you tell me? Did something bad happen? Do you want to talk about it?"

"Why do you care so much?"

"Why wouldn't I care about the well being of one of my soldiers?"

"Right..." I mumbled

Oh... so that's all I am? Why did it hurt so much when they said that? I'm just a soldier... why can't I get that through my head?

Why can't I be more?

I turned on my side in hopes of shooing the scientist away. I don't want to be near them right now.

A few silent moments pass before I felt weight be lifted off of my bed. 'Finally. They're leaving.'

To my surprise, I felt their body behind mine. Soft yet calloused hands snaked around my body, resting on my side. Their chin pressed into my shoulder as they settled into the spot. I tense up to their touch.

'WHAT IS GOING ON'

My face was flaming. Are we... spooning?

I try to speak but I was far to flustered to. Why are they doing this?

"Oh... I figured this might help you sleep. If you're uncomfortable I ca-"

"No... this is fine. Thank you." I mumbled. I felt their lips curve slightly upwards on my neck.

Hange sat up to remove their glasses and place them on the windowsill.

"Goodnight Y/n"

"Goodnight Hange."

My eyes fluttered shut and I fell into a deep slumber.

~Hange's POV~

I laid still for a couple minutes. Soft snores from Y/n filled the room. I wish I could stay here forever. Her body cuddled up into mine, the moonlight shining on both of our faces; it's perfect. She's perfect.

How could someone so perfect inside and out be born into a cruel world like this? They were truly light in the darkness... light in my darkness.

From the moment I first saw her, she caught my eye. A smile that could light up a room. The most warm and comforting aura I've ever been in the presence of.

How could someone not fall for a person as perfect as Y/n. She is all the colors in one.. all at maximum brightness. If you stare too long, you'll go blind. A soft chuckle escapes my lips. Maybe I already have.

Maybe I have already gone blind. Blind enough to no longer be able to see what a curse love is in this wretched world. How love will get you killed. Deep down I know this, yet I still long for her touch.

I long to be in her presence.

I long to hear her voice.

I long to see her smile.

I long to see her.

Thousands of thoughts flood my mind but they all share a common subject, y/n.

I stare down at her face, taking it all in. Why is this world so cruel? Why?

I pull her body closer to mine and bury my head in her hair.

"Y/n... stay with me forever. Then...will you... be my mistake." I whisper

My eyes flutter shut. Maybe one day I'll be able to fall asleep with you in my arms like this every night. One day...
