I Hate You A Little Less Today

Chapter 33

Floch's POV

Y/n had finally arrived back from talking to Zeke. I had so many questions about her visit, I even at one point was doubting that she would even be on board with all of this. But once I saw her again I knew that she was one of us.

She told me to meet her at her office, I obliged, when I walked in she immediately started handing me papers, financial records, written down plans that the scouts had. She was the whistleblower that we needed.

It didn't take long before she was walking in and out of the scout regiment as if she had become a superior.

Turns out... somehow she quickly got acquainted with every single higher up, as if she wasn't already best friends with Hange.

I liked her.

Eren and Zeke trusted her for some reason, so I trusted her as well.

If I could be honest, I remembered her from when I was younger, she would walk around the survey corps seemingly without a care in the world, the moment I saw her I thought she was one of the prettiest girls I had ever seen, but I didn't let that fantasy go any further.

I even remember a strange rumor, that she and Captain Levi liked each other, what an odd rumor.

Now she was in front of me, on my side, not on Levi's. It made me feel sort of special.

Pretty y/n...would help us win.

Y/n's POV

I looked up at Floch, he had a strange expression on his face.

"What?" I said perplexed by his expression.

"N-nothing, sorry, I was just lost in thought" He quickly shifted his gaze.

"Ok..." I turned around and started walking through a hall, he followed, "Today I have an important meeting with Hange, Eren will be in the same building, you said he wanted to talk to me right?"

"Yes, he said he had something he needs you to deliver"

"Why didn't he give it to you?" I asked.

"Not sure, must be something only you can do or...I don't know" Floch mumbled.

We said our goodbyes for the moment and I made my way to the survey corps.

I walked in confidently, wondering what Eren had to say to me. But before that, I made my way to Hange, where we were meant to have a meeting about some weapons I was funding.

I instinctively opened the door, expecting the usual crowd that was part of the meetings, instead, in the middle of the room, Hange and Armin Arlet stood, around some familiar faces and some unfamiliar ones...

In my peripheral vision, a man with jet black hair.

I couldn't look, I couldn't see if that was true.

I felt his presence, his gaze, as soon as I walked inside the room, I greeted everyone, except the man.

We all sat down around a long table, I sat next to Armin, the man who I couldn't even look at sat...right in front of me.

He did that on purpose. I thought to myself.

I faced Hange, as she talked about a new military weapon that could shoot down planes. I tried to listen attentively, all this information was things that I later would write down and hand to Floch. But I couldn't focus.

Was he looking at me? Was he not paying attention to me? I wanted to see his face so badly.

Armin Arlet started explaining the contraption while pointing to some very detailed blueprints.
