The Language of Love

Rivetra

Levi “Rivaille"

-  A little OOC

Petra Ral

- Meh, she’s probably the same as the one in the anime. I don’t actually know .-.

“Hey um…guys?” Petra fidgeted. The rest of the SOS (excluding Levi) turned their attention to the small girl.

“Yes, Petra?” Erd said, putting down his glass of coffee. “I wanted to know something…” Petra trailed off.

“What is it?” Gunther placed a pitcher on the table. “Hanji told me that Captain speaks French.” Erd spit out his coffee, Auruo bit his tongue, Gunther fell off his chair, and Eren’s jaw dropped.

“D-Did I say something wrong?” Petra asked nervously. “N…No. You didn’t. We were just shocked that you would ask something such as that. Especially the fact that this is the Corporal we’re talking about.” Erd wiped his mouth and gave a goofy grin. Gunther regained his balance and smirked at the last part of what Erd had said.

“E-Everyone, we should s-stop talking about the C-Corporal or h-he might g-get mad!” Eren stammered.

“It’s alright, Eren. It’s nothing too personal.” Gunther assured him. “But still-!”

“What’s going on around here? I heard a loud thud.” The Corporal was standing by the door, his eyes giving a glare, and his voice sounded stern, as always.

“It’s nothing, sir!” Even with that being said by Eren, the look on his face said the opposite.

Levi looked at everyone one by one, then he stopped at Petra. Why must she be so beautiful?

“Tch. Just stop making a racket, I can’t concentrate.” He scolded them. The other five nodded, and he started walking back to his office.

Eren let out a sigh of relief. “That was close.” Erd looked at Petra. “Are you going to ask him?”

“I dunno, I might get him mad.” She stared at the ground. “I don’t think he’ll get mad at you. He’s really careful with you and the only reason why he gets mad at you is because you’re utterly reckless during expeditions sometimes.” Gunther countered.

“Just be wise with your actions.” Auruo said, trying to sound like their much adored Corporal.

“Whatever Auruo, I don’t need that kind of warning.” Petra boldly stood up and walked out.

“I just hope she’ll be okay.” Eren said while trembling. “You’re awfully frightened by him, aren’t you?” Erd tilted his head to the side. The brunette only nodded.

Actually, Petra wasn’t as confident as she looked when she walked out. As she got nearer to his office, she started having second thoughts.

‘What if I really got him mad?’

‘What if this isn’t a good time to ask?’

‘What if I bother him?’

‘What if he’s tired and I’m only going to be a nuisance?’

‘What if he’s in the middle of something important at the moment?’

‘What if this wasn’t wise at all?’

‘Ugh! I hate ‘What if’ thoughts!!’

But before she knew it, she was already at his office’s door. ‘Should I just turn back?’
