Moving In

Y/N sat down next to Luka in the mess hall and set her breakfast on the table. Luka snapped his head toward the sudden intrusion on his breakfast, but the second he realized it was Y/N, the irritation left his face.

"Y/N?!" He scooted over, moving his friend, Ilse, down as well to give Y/N more space. "Since when do you have time for breakfast?"

"Captain has a meeting this morning, and we haven't eaten together in ages." Y/N greeted Luka's three friends: Ilse, Otto, and Anna. "Good morning, everyone."

Recently, Y/N had been eating all her meals with Levi. However, before that, she ate the majority of her dinners with Luka. Out of those meals, his three friends were almost always present, and the four of them had welcomed Y/N with ease.

"Good morning," they all responded.

Y/N had grown quite fond of these four; she would even consider them friends of her own. They weren't particularly close, but Y/N could tell the bonds were growing.

When she looked back at Luka, he wore a sly smile.

"You sure have been spending a lot of time with the Captain," Luka teased.

Y/N tried to hide her smile by drinking from her cup, but Ilse was quick to join in.

"She's blushing!" Ilse pointed from around Luka.

"Oh my gods, she is," Anna confirmed. She was sitting directly across from Y/N and could see her the clearest. "We didn't believe him either, Y/N. He kept saying you had dinner with the Captain, and we all said he was lying."

"Yeah, you assholes!" Luka snarked. "Are you guys... fucking?"

"Luka," Otto scolded him.

Otto was Luka's polar opposite: serious, quiet, and reflective. He didn't speak often, so the fact that he felt the need to join the conversation proved how offended he was by Luka's crass question. Y/N couldn't help but to snicker at how annoyed Luka looked.

"It was a serious question!"

"Boorish," Otto quipped.

Luka rolled his eyes and turned back to Y/N. "Are you two holding hands?" Luka asked in a mocking tone to jab at Otto.

Y/N took a bite of her food to give herself a second to think. Erwin knows. And so many Scouts saw us holding hands last night. It's okay to tell them... Yeah, no, it's okay.

"As a matter of fact, we are," Y/N paused. "Yes, to both of your questions."

Ilse hushed Luka when he gasped too loud. Anna's hands covered her mouth, and Otto rubbed his eyes.

"You are!" Anna hissed, trying to control her volume.

Y/N leaned on Luka, who was still in shock, as she laughed.

"Captain Levi...," Ilse sighed. "I'm so jealous."

Luka whipped his head around to glare at her in disgust.

"What?" Ilse asked.

"You're jealous?"

"Oh, don't act like you don't know, Luka," Anna chimed in. "Captain Levi is so handsome."

Luka slowly shook his head and looked to Otto for support, but the man was fully focused on his meal.

"Don't bring me into this," he said without looking up.

"Get over yourself. He's objectively attractive," Ilse said.

Luka sat in awe for a few moments while Y/N continued eating after watching the whole exchange with a smile. Y/N felt a swell of pride knowing that other people desired her partner. I'm already excited to see him again.
