(H/c) strands of hair blew in the cool wind. The moon gave it a vibrant shine as it did so. You couldn't help but sigh at the fact that these beasts were slowly consuming your friends, much less humanity in general. What choice do you have besides fight? Your (e/c) orbs moved slowly across the field of dark green grass, taking in the vast beauty. You decided to walk out, since you had trouble sleeping. Not wanting to disturb the peace that consumed Sasha, Ymir, and Christa in their sleep, you ended up here, in the nearby flower field letting air flow through your system.

You knelt down, hugging your jacket tighter to warm you up a bit. The grass wasn't as prickly as it seemed, rather it seemed like satin. You laid back and counted the infinite stars that shone, illuminating the color in your glistening eyes.

'(y/n), how many times have I told you to not be out after hours? Silly, girl. It's your stubborn attitude and dedication that keeps us going, now.'

Tears prickled at the corner of your eyes, quickly enough, you pulled down the end of your sleeve and wiped them away. Titans. They're the reason why you haven't given up yet. Why you haven't slipped through the cracks? Easy. You had a motivation to avenge your family. Not to mention that boy you met during training. Bertholdt Fubar. You weren't going to lie, you had a thing for that tall boy. A warm pit built up in your stomach thinking about him. He was a close friend, which was amazing. The way you can spot him out from a crowd because of his height and emerald eyes. Nothing made you happier than him being around you.

You sigh, letting out your hot breath into the cold night, making it visible. Slowly enough, your (s/c) eyelids grew heavier and heavier. Until you dozed off into a light slumber. Soft winds flowing through the dark and humming in your ears.

You heard a sigh. "(y/n), what am I going to do with you?... What am I going to do without you?" Soon enough, you felt a pair of muscular arms carry your limp body. Too sleepy to care, you ended up throwing your arms around the so said persons neck and snuggled closer into his chest. 'So warm.' You thought silently. An airy laugh filled your ears, soon enough, you recognized the voice of so said person. (E/c) eyes fluttered open and you slowly lifted your head off the muscular man.

"Bertl?" Your cheeks grew warmer by the second, not to mention you had a sensation of butterflies in your stomach. "What are you doing?"

He gave you a shy smile, "I was out.. and I saw you laying in the field and I-I thought something happened to you, (y/n). So I checked on you and turns out you we're sleeping."

Feeling tired, you nodded and tried your best to push away your feelings, letting his body warmth gently lul you to sleep. Your grip on his neck became a little tighter and you patiently waited to arrive back in your barrack.

"Here we go." A soft whisper crept upon you, along with the feeling of a bed, consuming you. You felt your jacket and boots being ever so gently removed from you. A pair of rough hands caressed your (h/c) hair and moved it out of your face, whose cheeks were rosy and nose a slight pink. A soft groan escaped from Bertholdt's lips as you felt him prop himself off the stool next to your bed. Without thinking, you reached for his hand and gripped it enough to make him pause from leaving the room.

"Bertl, can you stay with me? Please?" The moonlight poured in from the window, making your (e/c) eyes glow, which were irresistible to Bertholdt. He smiled and made his way to you and removed his jacket and boots as well. He quickly, but softly climbed in your bunk, careful to not wake the others. While he adjusted, you took the time to do the same and grow your body closer to him. He wrapped an arm around you, acting as a pillow for your head and rubber your shoulder. As soon as you closed your eyes, you felt a kiss being placed in your (h/c) hair. Without thinking you opened your mouth and spoke.

"I love you, Bertholdt."

Once more, you felt the same pair of lips in your hair.

"I love you too, (y/n)." And with that, he pulled you in closer to his chest, and let slumber consume both of you
