You had fallen asleep in the bed resting with Erwin. You honestly couldn't even remember falling asleep but when you had awoken, Erwin was resting peacefully on his good arm. A smile crept on your lips seeing him not stressed out and at peace. A knock erupted at the door and it opened shortly after revealing Nile Dok and Darius Zachary. You shot up from leaning on the commander but it was too late. Their eyes had already laid upon you next to him.

Erwin jolted awake to the door opening and he sat up registering it all. He exhale slowly as he closed his eyes realizing how fucked he was. Darius cleared his throat as his eyes fell to the floor as if he were waiting for you to excuse yourself. You sent Erwin one last look before you saw yourself out of the room  quickly closing the door behind you and scurrying off to your room.

3RD PERSON POV

Nile stood off to the side awkwardly as his eyes glancing between Darius and Erwin. Erwin adjusted himself in his bed.

"Nile, will you excuse Erwin and I for a moment?" Darius asked taking a sharp exhale. Nile nodded and stepped right outside the door shutting it. Darius took the opportunity to turn back towards Erwin and furrow his brows.

"I'm hoping what I just saw was my eyes playing tricks on me." Darius growled lowly. Erwin sighed as he was just about ready to try to explain himself but Darius cut him off completely.

"Erwin, you of all of people. I mean come on..." Darius spoke defeated rubbing his face with his hands. "I cannot and will not bend the rules for you. You know that. End it or you lose your position." He spat in an ordered tone.

"Who are you going to give it to? Tell me one person you have qualified for my position?" Erwin asked lowering this bushy brows.

"I can easily find somebody."

"Oh please. One that will live long enough?" Erwin accidentally spat.

"I'm serious Erwin. This is unacceptable and it goes against many of our guidelines. How old is that girl?" Darius cocked his head.  "You are taking advantage of the poor girl."

"Oh here we go. She's well aware the age of 20 and she's more than capable to make her own decisions. And no I am not taking advantage of her." Erwin shook his head of disbelief.

"End it or your position is to be revoked." Darius spat turning around to make his way out of the room. Erwin let his legs dangle off the side of the bed as he brought his face to his hand rubbing it stressfully. He was fucked and was getting fucked in every position possible. He was head over heads for you and he has never let anyone get the best of him like you do. But it was either you or his job.

Back to your POV

You sat in the mess hall for breakfast with Sasha, Jean, Connie, Eren, Mikasa and Armin. Your mind was on worrying about how much trouble Erwin was in for you being in his bed. Not even in a romantic way but literally just resting with him.

"Hey you okay?" Armin nudged your arm gently noticing your off set mind. You snapped out of your thoughts and sent him a small smile.

"Yeah I'm okay, just didn't sleep to well last night." You lied as your eyes scanned the table that was not listening to you. "I'm fine I promise. Yesterday just kinda messed with me."

"No need to explain yourself, we totally get it!" Jean spoke taking a drink of his water. As the table began chatting of yesterdays events, through the hall came Levi, Hange and Erwin. Hange caught your staring and pretended to slice her neck with her thumb as in 'he's not okay.' Your eyes scanned Erwin's body language to confirm it. Yeah something wasn't right. Erwin's eyes scanned the room and once they had landed on you, he instantly looked away. Like it was a crime to look at you.

Your heart stopped when he forcefully looked away. The three of them grabbed their lunches and left. Hange holding Erwin's tray for him. The exited the mess hall and your eyes fell onto your tray of food. You weren't sure what you were expecting. You knew there was nothing that could come of you and Erwin. Though it was all you wanted. You knew the relationship of a commander and a scout could come of nothing. It was against so many rules and regulations. Little did you know that would be the last time you'd speak to the commander.
——————————-
Two months had rolled around. Everyday was a more intense training than the last. Now that you were fighting more than just titans. Captain Levi was giving no mercy when it came to judging every individual during training. The amount of times the mess hall had been deeper clean was beyond countable.

You dropped to your knees landing from the tree branch above you, your ODM gear clanking at the impact. Your chest rising and Falling quickly, the sweat beads dripping down the side of your face. Your lips parted as you took in all the air your lungs could take. A thump landed next to you and Jean who also looked overworked with gone knee to the ground.

Jean and you had gotten close, you two trained together, fought, argued, everything best friends would do. You were beyond thankful for him, especially since things were cut cold with the commander, you needed a rock. Jean stepped in.

"You good?" He asked out of breath his hazel eyes scanning you. You nodded and Lifted your head to the upcoming footsteps. Your eyes met with the captains.

"There's no breaks out in the fields." He spat "embarrassing."

"We have been working our ass off, sir. Respectfully if we keep training like this. We will be too exhausted to fight with all our strength when we need it." You huffed falling onto your ass.

"She's right sir, we're overworked. We haven't had a break in over a month and a half." Jean chimed in.

"Tch." Levi rolled his eyes. "You brats are pathetic. Take tomorrow off but after that. We're back on the clock." He spat as he turned and stormed off.

"Thank god." Jean exhaled relieved as he let himself flop against the ground.

"You life saver, I could kiss you right now bro!" Connie huffed staggering over to Jean. Jean scoffed and Connie turned to you. "You wanna take up that offer?" he joked smirking.

"I'm not into bald men, sorry." You shrugged your shoulders chuckling.

"Suit yourself." Connie rolled his eyes.

"So....hungry......need food." Sasha spoke rolling onto the ground next to you.

"You're ridiculous sash! You have your 3 meals a day like the rest of us." Connie argued.

"She's withdrawing, she needs her mid day snacks." You chimed in. "Give her a break."

"Speaking of a break, I hear my bed calling my name." Jean laughed as started to stand up.

"A nap sounds amazing but so does a shower." You laughed as you saw Jean reach his arm out to help you stand up. You smiled and grabbed it, he instantly hoisted you up.

"Food sounds so good" Sasha whined

"A blowjob sounds nice." Connie abruptly chimed In everyone stopped in their tracks and looks at him weirded out.

"Connie what the fuck?" You asked raising a brow.

"Do you even know what a blowjob is?" Sasha asked laughing.

"What- the fuck is that supposed- Yes I do!" Connie stuttered.

"Alright this is weird, I'm out" you threw up your hands shaking your head as you began to walk away.

"I'm right behind ya." Jean chuckled Following you.

"Don't leave me with this Virgin Mary!" Sasha pleaded.

"Excuse me?" Connie yelled out chasing after you guys.
