It wasn't long before you were flung into the trees behind you. You lay on the floor powerless and in a lot of pain. The danger beast grew closer and closer, and soon it stood over your frail body. You spat the blood from your mouth and released your claws. You weren't going to just lay there and accept defeat, you would rather die trying to save yourself. You pushed yourself up, back pressed against the firm tree. The danger beast came charging and you managed to dodge out of the way. The beast ran straight through the tree and fell over. But it wasn't long before it got up and recollected it's self. The beast charged again, smacking you right against a rock. You heard something snap and a sharp searing pain surged through your leg. "AHHH!!" you yelled as you tried to move your foot, but the pain was too much. It was then you realized it had broken.

The danger beast plucked you up from the ground, holding your small frame tightly beneath his paws. You could feel it's grip getting tighter and tighter, and each second as his paws slowly clenched you found it much harder to breath. You squirmed and squiggled, trying loosen the grip but failed. "Hey!!! Ugly!!!" you heard someone yell. You looked up to see who it was, and to no surprise it was Lubbock standing in a tree. "Put her down big guy! Your beef's with me!" the danger beast dropped you and you landed on the ground with a huge thud. The beast turned to Lubbock who had now disappeared.

It wasn't long before he came swinging from the trees with what looked like a spear, and stabbed the beast in the eye. A disturbing wailing noise came from the monsters mouth as it tried to swat Lubbock out of the air. But he was too fast for the slow moving giant. The beast swung its hands rapidly trying to catch the green haired boy. You watched as he swung from tree to tree dogging the beasts every move, his face serious and stern. Something about that face made butterflies flutter in your stomach. You blushed, trying to remove the very thought of him from your mind. But the more you tried, the more he lingered.

A loud thud and crashing of trees brought you back to reality. You looked up to find the beast dead and Lubbock standing in front of you with his hand out. He was breathing heavily, and a bead of sweat trickled down his face, leaving a fine exposed line of flesh beneath the blood and sand on his face. He smiled and you placed your hand in his. You tried your best to stand up and walk, but the pain was too much to bare. Lubbock then put your arm around his neck and proceeded to carry you bridal style. He looked down at you with a worried look on his face. "You okay?" He asked. You looked up at him and your eyes made contact, you both blushed and he quickly looked forward before starting to walk down the path. "Yeah, I'm fine." you finally said. "A few broken bones, but I should be healed by tomorrow."

He carried you for about an hour before you finally came to a stop. "Where here." He said looking up the large tree that stood before you. He gently placed you on the ground before pulling a rope hidden among the vines. It wasn't long before the ground beneath you started to rise. Lubbock continued to pull on the rope until you were both at the top of the tree. You looked around only to find you were on the balcony of a small tree house. Lubbock then picked you up again and brought you inside.

The house was small but cozy. There was a small mattress that lay on the floor covered in all kinds of blankets and cloths. In the far right corner of the room was a small sofa and to the left of that was a small table and chair. The entire room was filled with books of all kinds and all genres. And a large mat sat in the middle of the room. Lubbock then placed you down on the mattress and made his way over to the candles. "Sorry this place is a bit of a mess." He said with a sheepish grin and rubbing the back of his neck. "I like it." You said with a warm smile before pulling a blanket over yourself. "It's very cute and cozy." He walked around the room lighting all the candles, then sat on the couch as soon as he was done. "I'm glad you like it." You looked around the room again, then back at him. "It's a good place to raze the kids." He looked at you shocked and confused. "You know, you somewhat proposed to me in the forest before we got attacked. I move in with you. Now there's only one thing left to do." You giggled to show him you we only joking. A playful smirk crept along his face as he crawled over to you .

Your face only inches away from his. He slowly tilted his head to the side and you couldn't help but blush. Your breathing got heaver and your palms were starting to sweat, he looked straight into your E/C eyes. "What's your name?" He whispered in a very seductive voice that sent shivers down your spine, and made your skin tingle. "Y/N." you said rather flustered. "Well Y/N, my name is Lubbock." You blushed even more as he said your name. "Lubbock." you said breathlessly before he pulled away from you. "I really think you should get some rest." He said placing his hand on your forehead, checking your temperature. "WHAT!?" You said angrily crossing your arms. "I'd love to make babies with you, but you're not well and need to rest." He said with a chuckle. He then got up and pulled up one of the loose floor boards revealing a stash of snacks and a first aid kit. He pulled out the kit and walked over to you.

Once he was done wrapping your leg firmly with the bandage, he went on to replace the one on your lower stomach. "You didn't have to do all this." You said to him as he cleaned your wound with rubbing alcohol. "I know, but I wanted to." You looked at him with admiration and gratitude. And for some strange reason, you were glad he had almost killed you. As soon as he was done you lay yourself on the mattress and started to doze off to sleep.

Lubbock's Prov

I watched as she lay peacefully on the mattress until she fell asleep. I got up from my chair and started to pace around the room. "What I'm I doing!?" I asked myself. "Helping a Yager is one thing, but flirting with one! What's wrong with me?" The problem wasn't that I was thinking about her or thinking about doing things to her. The problem was that I wanted it. I wanted it all. It wasn't just my pervert mind craving a little action, I want her for all she is. I thought about the moment when we had fought. "Why? Why didn't I do it?" I asked myself. Then I remembered what she said to me.

"What a waste." I said letting out a sigh

"It doesn't have to be." She said softly looking sadly and pleadingly up into my green orbs, as I peeked through my green hair. I looked at her with a strange expression on my face, I was confused but curious. I dropped my blade and loosened my ropes. She started to get dizzy and she could barely see. She fell softly into my arms, tired and injured. "Thank you" She whispered before she blacked out. I looked at her face, innocent and drained of energy. I looked back at her as she lay on the mattress, that same innocent look on her face. "How could I have done such a thing to her?" I sat back on the couch and drifted of to sleep.
