I Can't Lose You [Eren Yeager x Reader]

11. Confessions

I have no idea where to have Eren and Y/n talk so I'm gonna make it so they never had a chance to talk until that part where Levi Squad is cleaning. I have no idea how long it has been since Eren's trial thingy. So it might've been like a couple days before they got to talk.

"Alright everybody, this is where we will be staying," Captain Levi said when we arrived at some old run down building.

Everyone got off their horses and were about to go inside when Levi said, "Hold on, if we'll be staying in this dump then we gotta clean up."

I groaned and whispered, "Seriously?"

"Well, if there's one thing you should know about Captain Levi, it's that he's a clean freak." Petra Rall whispered back. She was a member of our squad.

"Ugh, I hate cleaning," Eren said out loud.

"What was that Yeager? You wanna say that one more time?" Captain Levi said.

"N-No sir!" Eren said, stiffening up.

I let out a small laugh, but soon realized that that was a mistake.

"Something funny L/n?" Captain Levi said.

"No sir," I replied.

Eren looked at me, trying to hold back his laughs.

"Shut up," I mumbled quietly.

"What are you all just standing there for? Get cleaning!" Captain Levi said.

"Sir!" We all said in unison.

Eren and I decided to work together in one of the upstairs rooms.

"So Eren," I said. "I've been meaning to talk to you."

Eren looked at me and said, "What about?"

"That thing you said..."

"...What thing?"

"You know, after you plugged up the hole and Trost District."

"Well, I don't remember much of it. Most of everything was all blurry."

"Oh," I said, feeling a bit disappointed. "Did you hear what I told you, when you were unconscious by the boulder?"

Eren blushed a bit and looked away.

"Um, Eren?" I said, a bit worried. "Are you ok?"

"Fine, I'm fine," he said, turning to look at me again.

There was a moment of silence before I said, "Um... Eren, you didn't answer my question from earlier."

"Oh, that's right, um..." he said. "Yeah, I heard what you said. If I'm being honest it's one of the reasons I had the motivation to get back up."

I blushed at what he had said, and smiled. "Thank you, I'm glad I was able to get your sorry ass up."

Eren chuckled and just stared at me.

I laughed a bit and said, "What?"

"Nothing," he said. After a moment he said, "Hey, what did I say when I was knocked out after I plugged up the hole?"

I decided to put all my fears about saying this behind me and just come out with it. "Well, you said you loved me too," I said, smirking at him.

He blushed a bit and said, "I said that?"

"Yea, why?" I said. I was afraid that he didn't really mean what he said.

Eren laughed softly and said, "Well at least you know that I love you back."

My face turned red as I said, "Heh, yeah."

Suddenly the door flung open and Captain Levi stepped in. "What's going on here? I hear more talking instead of cleaning."

"Sorry sir!" I said as I picked up the broom and started sweeping.

"Sorry captain, I just needed to talk to my girlfriend," Eren said.

I immediately turned around to look at Eren. "What?" was all I managed to say.

"Well I don't give a damn if you're talking to her. Just keep cleaning," Captain Levi said.

"Yes sir," Eren said, still smirking.

Captain Levi then walked out of the room, not even bothering to close the door behind him.

As Eren walked over to the door to close it, I said, "What was that?"

"What? You're officially my girlfriend now," Eren replied.

"B-but I didn't even get my say in this!" I said.

"So what you're saying is that you don't want to be my girlfriend," Eren said.

"Wha- no! That's not what I meant!" I replied.
"Well then," Eren said. He walked over to me until he was just inches away from my face. He leaned forward a bit, so I was leaning a bit backwards to avoid him getting too close to me. "Y/n, do you wanna be my girlfriend or not?"

You can do this Y/n. Calm down and answer him.

I leaned forward a bit which made Eren lean back until he was standing straight again. I placed my hands on his chest and gripped his shirt. "What do you think?"

Eren laughed as I felt his hands around my waist. "I guess that means you're my girlfriend."

"Yep," I said, closing my eyes and moving my hands upwards and around his neck.

Eren placed his forehead on mine. We stayed like that for a moment, but then I could sense Eren's face getting way closer to mine. Oh my gosh, is he gonna kiss me?!

Just then the door flung open again. "What did I say, you brats?" It was Captain Levi.

I immediately broke away from Eren and tried to form an answer, but nothing came out of my mouth.

"You haven't done anything so far! Do I have to do everything myself? Or was it a mistake to allow Y/n to join the scouts?" Captain Levi said.

My expression darkened as he said that. Eren must've noticed because he said, "Sorry captain, it was all my fault. We'll get to cleaning now."

"You better!" Captain Levi said. He then walked out, but then someone walked in.

"Having trouble with the captain I see," Petra said.

"Yeah," I replied, picking up my broom.

"Don't worry you two, Captain Levi is hard on everyone," she said.

"Really?" Eren said.

"Yeah," she replied. "He's had it rough in the past, so he's just pushing us to do our very best."

"By cleaning?" Eren asked.
"Um, well, like I said before, the captain is a clean freak." Petra said.

"I can see that," I replied.

"What are you all talking about?" Captain Levi said. He poked his head in the doorway.

How long has he been there?!

"Nothing!" Petra said, now sweeping.

"Good, I want this place spotless by tonight, got it?" Captain Levi said.

"Yes sir!" we all said in unison.

When he left again Petra whispered, "So, are you guys dating?"

I blushed a bit, but Eren put his arm around my waist and confidently said, "Yea, just now actually. That's what we were talking about."

"Oh! Congratulations!" Petra exclaimed.

"Shhh!" I whispered. "Captain Levi is gonna hear again!"

"Oh! Sorry," Perta whispered back, smiling. "I'll go now, I don't wanna interrupt anything!" She then left, closing the door behind her.

Eren and I looked at each other, and randomly burst out laughing. He then pulled me into a hug and said, "I can't believe you're girlfriend now."

"About time," I said. Eren and I just laughed at what I said. Eren's my boyfriend now. Hopefully nothing will come between us.
