Everybody was panicking around the courtyard. It was completely reasonable as everybody was told that you have to fight or die. 'Desertion is punishable by execution,' the higher-ups said. You walked over to a nearby bench to gather your thoughts after getting assigned to a squad. 'Three years of training commitment. Why do I feel scared..?'
"Hey," A voice said above you, making you meet eyes with a pair of blues. "Who's in your squad?"
Standing up, you realized just how dysfunctional your team is. "Connie, Ymir and Christa... God, what a mixture," you muttered with an eye roll. "Is yours any better?"
"I know that Eren and Mina are with me," Armin replied. "But... Can you promise me something?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Don't die. Please. I can't lose you guys."
Even in such a situation, you gave him a smile. "Me too," you said before shifting to a serious tone. "But hey. If something happens, please call me. Scream if you need to."
His mouth was wide open at how defensive you were just now. "No, I-- I can't put you at risk for my own protection."
You didn't back down. "No," you said sternly. "You're an important person to me. If I know that you, Eren, and Mikasa are safe, then--"
"Cadet [Name]," an elite called out to you. "Your squad is ready and waiting. Get to it."
The both of you looked over at the elite, standing straight. "Yes sir. I'll get right to it," you said before glancing over at Armin. "Stay alive for me. Make sure Eren is safe too."
