It was not too long ago when you confessed your love to him.
'Not too long ago.. pfft. As in few months ago.' You smile to yourself.
"Huh? You love me? You must have hit your head somewhere, kiddo."
"Kiddo? For fish sake I'm freaking 22 years old! I've matured already!"
You paused at your tracks.
"...Kiddo.. huh?"
'Is that really.. the image of mine in his eyes? What can I do to make him recognize me more?'
"Oh, what are you doing here, spacing out like that?"
You break from your thoughts to the titan freak, Hanji. "H-Hanji-san..!"
"Hehehe." She look down to the thing in your hands. "Uwah. That bully ask you to search for some documents again? Well, can't help it." She snorted.
"Wh-what do you mean?"
"You know what I mean. He's short. That's why he ask you to search for some documents because he can't even reach the upper part of the shelves..! Hehehehe..! I know that book." She points to the yellow book that were among the other papers in your hand. "That book is located at the upper part of the shelves, you know..!"
"H-Hanji-san!! Do you want your glasses to be crashed again?? Remember that last time-"
"He broke it with one hand? Hahaha! I would love to see that again! It's so funny!"
"Hanji-san..!"
"Alright, alright, I will stop." She grinned. "Seriously, why did you keep on defending him?"
"Even if he rejected me, it doesn't mean my respect to him has gone altogether..!"
"Okay, okay~" She snorted again. "Haah~ If I was a guy, I will steal you from him though~"
"H-Hanji-san!"
"Because he was so blind~"
"Hanji-san >/////<!!"
"Pfft! Okay, okay..!"
-------------
"Eventhough he rejected you, he has been looking at you when you didn't notice it, you know?"
Hanji's words echoed again in your mind. "That couldn't be.." You shake your head and laughed. "Hanji-san and her pranks.." You whispered to yourself and smiled. 'Of course not.. It will hurt if I put my hope into it..'
You stopped and knock on his room's door. "Heichou, it's me."
No reply.
"Maybe he's not inside. Well, I'm coming in..."
You pushed the door slowly, "Heichou..? This is the documents that you requested for-"
You paused, smiles, and put down the heavy documents slowly on your Corporal's table. With a sigh, you grinned.
"Really, to be sleeping here like this.."
The room was silent, but peaceful, as you were looking at Rivaille's sleeping face. You can't help but to fall in love once again, like you did when the first time you met him.
"Oh, I shouldn't be doing this. I have to coach Eren-kun with his titan training later..!"
Before that, you covers Rivaille slowly with a blanket and whispered, "You will catch a cold you know.." You smile to his sleeping face once again, leaning down to his cheeks and give a small peck on it. "I love you.." Then you quickly walk out with the best poker face that you could give.
...Not knowing that he was already awake, and covers his blushing face as you closed the door.
"Damn it.."
