(Chapter 4) - That Night

It was soon the afternoon of the next day. All you could feel was nausea, but you knew if you told a nurse, they would shame you for making love to a man right after you got out of a "battle."

You thought it would be nice if you were able to get some sunlight and sit down, so you sat on the neck where you previously talked to Eren and Falco.

To no surprise, a little blonde boy came running up, saying, "Falco here to check on you and Eren."

"Good evening, Pat! How was your day? " With a big smile and a little gasp, the young boy said.

"Good! And yours? " You looked confused at the young boy, not knowing why he was so happy, and a little taken back by it, you continued, "What's a young boy like you doing out so late, and why in such a good mood?"

He chuckled, "Well, Mr. Kruger asked me to take care of a letter for him, and it's a letter to his and your family telling them you are doing good!"

You took a second to respond, and the happiness on your face disappeared. "Oh, you did now?"

His smile vanished too, "Yeah! I thought that was a good thing. Why are you taken back by it? "

You smiled, and cheerfully said, "Oh, it's no worry! I'm just glad that you were able to do it successfully. I'll have to give you some candy or something. You are such a good boy. "

The boy went quiet, and after a few seconds, he went on again, "Hey Pat, could I talk to you about something? I would tell Colt, but I really wouldn't want to put more stress on him than he has right now. "

You looked down at the ground and said, "Of course you can, sit."

The young boy sat down and put his hands on his knees.

He began, "Well, you know how I was talking about the girl in the warrior cadets? Well, I'm really losing hope that I won't get the Titan. And Titans, well, I'll be respected if I get it, but if I don't, I'll just be known as a failure, and I'm really confused about what to do now; because the armored Titan at the moment, Reiner, is the girl's cousin, and he seems like he has been pretty harsh on me recently. "

The boy went on, but you started dowsing out due to the pain that was growing in your stomach.

".. Oh and yeah, I told my brother about you and he says he wants to meet you! "

You shook your head and looked down at the boy, not noticing your mouth opened wide.

Out of shock, you were able to kick one word off of your tongue, "... What?"

Falco widened his eyes and blushed, "Were you not paying attention?"

You just looked fixed at him and didn't say a word.

He continued, "as I was saying, my brother has agreed to meet with you before the ceremony held by Mr. Tybur next Sunday." After that ceremony, he will have to leave town to do something. He is not sure exactly what, but he would like to meet you before he leaves. "

You shook your head and coughed. "You told him about me..." and you told him that I was fancied by his act of being a gentleman? "

".. yeah, When I told him I had gotten a woman before him, he said he would be very puzzled if I had gotten a woman before him."

You thought about your night with Zeke and the baby roasting in your belly.

"Does anyone know about this?"

He sighed and looked at the ground. "They just know Colt is going to hang out with a woman. They don't know if you are an Eldian, or served in the Eldian military, or from a mental institution. They just know you are a woman." But Gabi, the girl who I am competing with for the Titan, is also coming because she is "loud."

Okay, good, but does Colt know who I am? Or did you lie to him too? "

"Colt... knows."

"And he's still accepting me, even though I kind of called him a Devil here."

Trust me, he doesn't care. He would care more if he was fighting against you, but love has no limits."

"He's risking his life by being caught with me. He knows that right."

"Of course he does, and I already threatened Gabi to not tell a soul."

Threatened? I thought you and your brother were gentle on women. "

Well, my brother's life is on the line because he's horny. I have to be harsh, you know? "

You gave out a chuckle, "death by horniness."

The young boy smacked his knee and flew back into the bench. "Honestly, it happens to the best of us, huh."

You shook your head. "So, when does your brother want to see me?"

Tonight! "The ceremony is tomorrow," he said with a week's smile so as not to surprise you.

"Tonight?"

Tonight."

"He should be on his way actually. I told him about this time anyway."

You looked at him completely confused, "he's on his way?" Like now? Oh, I have to get ready. "

Well, by the looks of it, there won't be a time and need. But if you need to tell Mr. Kruger, you can do it quickly! "

You thought about this. This would affect the mission and possibly get you killed too.

You quickly replied, "I'm not going to, or you, please don't tell Mr. Kruger. Or anyone for that matter. This is only between the four of us going. "

"Of course, I wouldn't," replied the boy with a smile.

"Uh... Falco!"

In the shadows, you saw a young man, about your age, with short blonde hair and an arm band, colored mustard yellow, like the one Falco wears. This man looked exactly like Falco, just older and taller, with a lot more muscle.

Along with the man, there was a young girl, the height of Falco, with brown hair and big brown eyes.

"Falco! Where are you? I don't think I should be here! " "Yelled the girl."

Here! " I'm over here, "yelled Falco, back, raising an arm up.

You wrapped the coat you were wearing tight around your stomach to hide the little bump on your belly.

The man and the young girl walked over to you guys, and as soon as you saw the man, your eyes widened.

"Hi..." you said quietly.

"Hi there! name's colt. You must be Pat. "

"Uh.. yeah, and nice to meet you, colt. How has your day been?"

He gave a smile and looked down at his shoes. God was that smile charming.

"My day was nice; I've just been keeping an eye on these little rascals," he poked the young girl, who was not amused, and wrapped his arm around Falco, "How has your day been my lady?"

"Good. I '

"That battle was rough, isn't it? I can see that you are still a little shaken up, but don't worry, everything's alright," said the colt as he rubbed your head.

You smiled and blushed, with a warm feeling, and replied, "I'm alright, sir, it's just been a long day."

He removed his hand, "Mine has been too, no worries."

"Ugh... This is why I don't watch romance movies, "said the young girl.

"Haha, sorry about that Gabi, it was a fluke," Colt said now, rubbing Gabi's head.

You blushed, and your face did not fade off red.

To be honest, I feel the same way. Colt noticed and put his hand against your cheek. He pulled his head towards you and whispered, "Don't worry, I don't mind the blushing." How about this: I'll get us dinner, and afterwards I can drop the kids off and we can walk around the town. "

You pulled away and smiled, and quietly spoke, "okay."

"Now!" Colt yelled, which scared you.

He continued, laughing at your shock, "who's hungry for me tonight?"

Falco quickly pulled Colt down and whispered in his ear, looking at you and Gabi. You couldn't understand what he said, but it made Colt give out a grand smile.

He patted Falco's back and said, "Sounds good kid, me and Falco will get dinner."

Gabi rolled her eyes, crossed her arms, and cried out, "You have money, Falco?"

Falco sighed, "that's why we are splitting it up for..."

Colt cut him in his words,"... two lovely ladies."

Falco smacked Colt's nape.

"Colt, what did I just say?" The boy yelled, making Colt choke on a laugh.

"Can we just get some food? God, I despise men," Gabi cried, adding, "At least I'm not alone with men; thank God I have Pat."

You smiled and intertwined your hands.

Um.. so what do you guys want to eat? I've been in the mood for burgers and whiskey, "giggled Colt.

"Of course you're in the mood for whiskey. Sorry lady, you got stuck with a drunk," sighed Gabi.

You chuckled. "It's alright, where I come from, I knew a lot of drunks. It's fine."

Colt made eye contact with you, a deep look that made your eyes widen.

He didn't smile, he just looked away. This worried you because you had no idea if you offended him.

Can we eat it now? I'm starving, "shouts Falco out to get everyone's attention.

Colt smiled and patted his back, "Yeah, that sounds good. Follow me."

When Colt and Gabi started walking, you tried, but Falco pulled you back.

He started whispering. "Hey Pat, I noticed the way Colt looked at you. Don't think too much of it. He's just concerned. He just got reminded that you're from Paradis, and that he might still be iffy about perusing anything with you. You know, personally, I really don't trust Pardis Eldians, but I can trust you. He just needs to see that. "

You bit your lip, "You trust me, Falco?"

He looked at you with a fixed expression.

"Is there a reason I shouldn't trust you, Pat?"

You took a pause, "Falco, I'm scared. scared."

He sighed, "is it my brother? I know for a fact that it's not Gabi. "

You continued, Eren or Z could hear what I'm saying.I am just scared. "

"Zeke?"

"I... Falco I don't know if I can do this tonight.

He lightly rubbed your arm, "Let's just walk, and please give my brother a try. I promise he won't do anything to you."

You two finally caught up with the others, and Falco was still holding your arm.

Falco got close to your ear and whispered, "Colt's a great man and a good older brother. There are no worries in there. He's blind to where people come from. "


You four were finally seated at the restaurant, and you were terribly quiet.

You felt bad since Colt wanted to see you so badly, but you couldn't get any words out of your mouth. You were just scared.

Even though the man was right in front of you, you couldn't even look at him. It just all felt awkward.

The two children were laughing with one another, and Colt would join in once in awhile, but he seemed bothered by your not being in a happy mood, at least the mood you had before you left with them.

"Hey Pat, Could I talk to you outside for a minute? " said Colt, and you finally mumbled a word, "Yes."

You two both got up from the table and made your way down to the door of the restaurant, and he held the door open for you as you walked out.

"Colt... is there a problem?" You looked up at him and made eye contact.

Yeah, well... I'm just concerned for your sake, that's all. You've been very quiet-did you even want to come here? "

"I," you say.I did want to, it's just that... I can't say it. "

"What do you mean, you can't say it, Pat? You know, I would never judge you."

"Colt.. I'm in danger, and you're in danger. That's why.

"I have a plan. Once I drop the kids off, I'll let Falco give me his arm band. No one will try to come after us and we can just have a good night."

But Colt! The people I'm worried about know exactly who I am! "

There's a certain someone? Who? I'll help you. Pat, I'm falling for you, and my heart won't let me stop. "

"Colt! Stop calling me that! My name isn't Pat! It's something I've been having to tell everyone to keep their cover; my real name is (Y/N)! "

"(Y/N)... Is there anything else you've been hiding away? Anything important I should know so things aren't as awkward between us, because I want to have a good night and take you somewhere before I leave tomorrow.

" Colt : I'm a...

He looked you deeply in the eyes and grabbed your hands, "(Y/N) please tell me, I need to know, you can trust me. Promise me this: if you can tell me anything, I'll tell you everything."

"I'm a Titan."

"Wait a minute... you're a..."

Your eyes widened at what you just said, and you quickly covered your mouth.

"What.. power? Attack? Female? Colossal? Pat... Pat, huh. "

You looked at him and backed up against the wall, "Colt, I'm sorry..." I have to go now, please. I'm so sorry. "

You started running away, but he grabbed you by the hand and pulled you back to him. He was strong, from running around in the trenches and carrying heavy guns."

(Y/N)... If the kids are happy, just treat everything normally. We can talk about this once they get dropped off, alright? "

"Colt.. I'm so sorry!"

(Y/N), I'm getting tired of saying'sorry'. I came to have a good night with you, knowing your past and what you said to me. Though it could cause more damage to me, it won't affect our night. "

"Thank you, Colt. I'm glad you understand."

He gave out his big, gentle smile he usually wears and pulled you into a side hug.

"Hey lady, as long as you don't try to pull anything out on me tonight, I might take you on a second night out."

"You got it, sir!" You sang cheerfully.

"Let's go back inside. I don't trust those two alone for too long."

You two walked back in and sat back down at the table, only to find Gabi and Falco playing a little puzzle game that was left out on the table to entertain children.

Falco, ugh, why are you so good at this? I hate your smartness, "cried Gabi, leaning on Falco.

Well, some of us know not to just push the pieces with force, huh?" whinnied the boy back.

Colt leaned across the table and whispered to you, "no need to worry about anything, this night will be a blast."

"Oh, lover-boy, he's back with his bait!" Gabi sighed loudly. She continued, "so... what was the issue?"

"Nothing you two should worry about, anyway. Is everyone done with their meal?" Colt replied.

"Yeah, and I'm tired," Falco said with a yawn.

Oh, c'mon! Do you really trust them two to be out alone? He doesn't even have a condom on him! " Chuckled Gabi, and Falco pushed her so she would stop speaking.

"Condom! For your information, I do..." he looked around awkwardly at the three of you and shook his head,"Uh.. as I was saying, or what I should've said, I think it's time for you two to go back. I wouldn't want anyone to worry." All

three of you were speechless at Colt's remarks.

So you do have a condom? "Are you sure Pat is old enough for this?" whispered Gabi.

I'm a It's not that I'm saying I will do anything. I'm eighteen.

Gabi gasped, "So my little boy is into older women, a whole year younger!"

Colt sighed, "you two shouldn't worry about us. We will do old people things, and so what, nothing that you two should care about."

Gabi chuckled, "Oh.. but I do care! You're going to make love to an Eldian solider? What will Reiner or Zeke think of this? "

"Gabi," cried Falco, trying to get her attention away.

Shut up Falco, he's risking everything just for one hot night with the Devil... and you are telling me to just keep quiet? "

Your face went numb.

"Gabi! Don't you dare say such a fucking thing to her, she has been through so much! " Colt screamed, and you put your hand on his back.

She's the Devil! I'm trying to help you, Colt. That woman is probably using you for a plan or something! I told you time and time again to find a Marleyan woman! "

How do you expect me to find a Marleyan woman when I am just a stupid, poor, fighting Eldian of a man? Everyone here hates us. The only people who like us are other Eldians! She's an Eldian; what makes her any different, huh? Explain, "Colt hissed,

Before anyone noticed, you were already gone, walking down the street.

You couldn't stand to hear these words. All they did to you was hurt you so badly.

You heard it faintly, "Fine! I'm going, "from the little girl, and you saw her and Falco in the distance running back the way they came.

It started to rain, and now the blood from your arm, that was recently covered up by the bandages, is beginning to show.

" (Y/N)! Where have you gone, beauty? "You heard the man yell."

(Y/N)! (Y/N)! Oh there you are! " A hand touched your back, and the shock from that made a tear fall.

Two large hands turned you around.

Hey, hey, no! Don't cry. I don't want you to mess up that pretty face of yours. Everything is fine now. There's no need to worry. It's just you, me, and the night sky. It's getting cold from all this rain though. I think we should go back to my place, and I'll make you some warm tea! How does that sound? "

His voice got deeper after you gave him no response. He said, "Hey, don't mind Gabi, she's young and very motivated at the moment. She's not going to tell anyone about something happening. I bribed her with the promise of buying anything she wants tomorrow. This night is just you and me, I promise."

You looked up at him, showing tired eyes, and softly said, "That sounds amazing, but I have to get back by..."

"8 am tomorrow morning," finished Colt cheerfully. He continued, "Well, I asked a nurse and she told me." Don't worry, I'll have you back before then. "

He grabbed the hand and intertwined it with his, and he boasted, "back to my place, my lady, I'll lead the way!"
