A Wall Of Blue Roses(Un Mur de Roses Bleues)

Just A Little Crush?

Belle had been walking through the corridors, for she couldn't help but feel something was up with her. All those thoughts were running through her head with every step, she took as she began to ponder.

'What could be wrong with me? I can't get these thoughts out of my mind. First whatever could happen to Claudius, wherever he may be and now falling for my own superior! Oh well, at least it can't get any worse.'

Unfortunately, the brunette's train of thought had abruptly stopped as her brown eyes widened as she spotted Levi working out, his well toned chest with sculpted abs on display for her to see. Luckily, he was in black cotton trousers. It was enough to make her cheeks tinge a shade of pink as she turned to walk away before he would take notice of her.

(Ah, crush, ah)

Belle ducked around the corner, out of her superior's sight. Her heart was pounding so loudly, it felt like it was wanting to burst free from her chest.

"Hey, Belle. See you're up bright and early this morning." Armin greeted as he, Eren and Mikasa passed her by.

Belle greeted them back before she went in another direction, leaving the trio confused.

"What's up with Belle?" Asked Eren, concerned.

"I don't know. She's acting kind of strange." Answered Mikasa, puzzled.

(See you blowin' me a kiss it doesn't take a scientist)

(To understand what's goin' on baby)

(If you see somethin' in my eye, let's not overanalyze)

(Don't go too deep with it, baby)

(So let it be what it'll be)

(Don't make a fuss and go crazy over you and me)

(Here's what I do, I'll play it loose)

(Not like we have a date with destiny)

Belle was sitting with the girls in the mess hall, talking about many things involving their lives and such. As the girls went on with their conversation, Belle couldn't help but notice Levi at a table with the leaders and Erwin, having to deal with Hanji's nattering about her experiments.

"Hey Belle, you okay?" Asked Sasha, through a mouthful of bread.

"Oui, oui, I'm perfectly fine." Answered Belle quickly, fearing she would get caught staring.

"Are you sure?" Asked Ymir, raising an eyebrow.

"We're just wanting to make sure you were feeling okay." Piped up Christa.

Belle nodded, breathing a sigh of relief as they went back to eating.

(It's just a little crush)

(Not like I faint every time we touch)

(It's just some little thing)

(Not like everything I do depends on you)

(Sha la la la, sha la la la)

During cleaning time, Belle was assigned to clean her superior's office. She already got the bookcase, sorting the books in order as well as folders and files and now she was polishing his desk. She made sure a single speck of dust was gone, wiping in a clockwise motion. She was so focused on her task, her eyes widened in shock as she saw, her hand was on top of Levi's, turning to him, their eyes meeting.

"I'm done with your office, sir." Belle pulled her hand away to give her superior a salute.

"I see, brat." Answered Levi, unfazed by their little moment which was a relief for Belle.

(It's raisin' my adrenaline, you're bangin' on a heart of tin)

(Please don't make too much of it, baby)

(Say, "That we're forever more")

(That's not what I'm looking for, all I can commit to is maybe)

(So let it be what it'll be)

(Don't make a fuss and go crazy over you and me)

(Here what I'll do, I'll play it loose)

(Not like we have a date with destiny)

The young brunette girl's mind had become in such a tizzy now that those strange sentiments were increasing with every moment.

(It's just a little crush)

(Not like I faint every time we touch)

(It's just some little thing)

(Not like everything I do depends on you)

(Sha la la la, sha la la la)

She decided to take her mind off them as she started laundry duty, washing the cadets' uniforms before hanging them to dry, ridding them of stains from Titan blood to mud and dirt that spattered on the items of clothing, soiling them in the process.

(Vanilla skies)

(White picket fences in your eyes)

(A vision of you and me)

As she scrubbed the garments in the warm soapy water, bubbles began floating in places, some floating out of an open window.

(It's just a little crush)

(Not like I faint every time we touch)

(It's just some little thing)

(Not like everything I do depends on you)

(Sha la la la, sha la la la)

A bubble then floated to Belle's face, showing her reflection of her blushing lovesick face before it touched the end of her nose, popping it, making her flinch and go back to work.

(Not like I faint every time we touch)

(It's just some little thing)

(Not like everything I do depends on you)

(Sha la la la, sha la la la)

After hanging the last of the laundry up to dry, Belle slumped down to the floor, her folded arms resting on her knees as she sighed.

(Not like I faint every time we touch)

(It's just some little thing)

(Not like everything I do)

"Oh zut alors..." Groaned Belle, running a hand through her chocolate locks. "What am I really getting myself into?"
