No Regrets

Ch. 6

I sadly remembered everything from the night before. My shameless flirting, the way I was practically panting at Levi's touch.

When I arrived to the mess hall for breakfast, my fellow hungover comrades were barely arriving, all dragging their feet. Levi was already there with his food and a cup of tea. He glanced up at the lot of us as we silently sat down at the table with our plates. I did my best to avoid any eye contact with the Captain.

"Sounded like you guys had a good night." We all groaned and grumbled in response and continues breakfast in silence. The pounding in all of our heads along with the bustle of the mess hall was enough without us talking to each other. After everyone was done eating, we were all dismissed for the day. Luckily it was Sunday and no one had to train.

"What are you going to do today?" Petra asked as we went to put our plates away to be washed. I already had plans to go see Erwin but wasn't going to mention that.

"Try not to kill myself from this hangover." She groaned in agreement and squeezed my hand before leaving me to go back to the house. After everyone left the mess hall, I snuck my way to Erwin's office. He was always busy but I could almost always count on him being in his office for breakfast. Ever since he became Commander, after Shiganshina, he stayed busy non stop. Between doing paperwork and trying to find funding for us, he rarely had any time for me. Even on the nights I would sneak to his room, he would fall asleep almost immediately. I couldn't really complain too much though since this is for humanity. I had to remind myself it wasn't about me.

When I got to his office I stopped to listen to the door to make sure no one else was in there with him. I didn't feel like having to come up with an excuse.

I knocked softly on the door and waited too long for a response. I was about to walk away when the door opened and Erwin stepped out, a surprised smile on his face.

"Oh! Hello," he said. "What a pleasant surprise. I was just running up to my room for something. Would you like to join me?"

I looked around to make sure no one else was near. On Sundays, most people go back to their rooms and sleep after breakfast, or go out for the day. So me and Erwin were safe to make our way to his room in a private part of the building. "Yes, of course."

We walked shoulder to shoulder up to his room and help small conversation. He asked how I was feeling and I groaned outwardly. "Like shit. I'm assuming you heard about last night."

He chuckled and smiled warmly at me, his knuckles brushing mine lightly as we walked. "Oh yes, not that I would've needed to by the way you look."

I blushed in embarrassment as he opened the door for us and then closed it behind us. "Not to mention a strange rumor about you and Miss Ral," he added slyly, shooting me a smirk.

"Erm, not a rumor. They bet us that we wouldn't kiss-as boys do-and well... you know how I can't back out of a challenge." Erwin sighed and shook his head with closed eyes but there was only a look of endearment on his face. He couldn't be mad because he knew me all too well. Plus, it didn't mean anything. Also plus, we've never had the talk about exclusivity even after all this time. I think we just both assumed we were exclusive but all these thoughts I've had about Captain Levi lately has me looking for loopholes. Maybe if Erwin had more time for me I wouldn't feel this way. I think I'm just horny.

"You are a mess, aren't you?" He asked, turning to me and placing his hands on my hips, careful to avoid my sore spots. I lifted my arms to place my hands on his hard chest and grinned.

"Don't you know it." I stretched up on my toes to kiss him. He dipped his head to meet me in the middle for a soft but firm kiss. The kind of kiss that describes this man to a tee; soft but firm.
