-Erwin's POV-
I pace back and forth across the width of my tent, my mind tumbling over the image of Sakura's back as she galloped away. Another pained sigh leaves my thinned lips as I run shaking fingers through my hair.
"In other words," Levi says from where he sits on the small cot, twirling his cup of tea before taking a sip,"You really never ordered for her to stop. You just kept yelling at her, but never ordered."
I glare at him,"You just yelled at her for running headlong into danger and here she goes running into danger again, and you're lecturing me?"
"It's technically your fault that she left."
I grit my teeth together, anger flashing through me,"How is this my fault?!"
"First off, you fucking told me about the wall having been breached right in front of your damned tent. How is she not going to over hear? Second off, you didn't send her to me like I asked you too and thirdly you didn't even TRY to fucking stop her." He ticks off the suggestions on his fingers.
"How dare you? How dare you say I didn't try to stop her? I tried as hard as I could!"
Levi narrows his eyes and leans back folding his arms over his chest,"Fourth you are in love with her."
My eyes widen, is it really that obvious that I've fallen for her? If he knows how many more people know? I open my mouth to try and deny it, but he shoots me a glare.
"Don't you try to deny it. It's fucking obvious that you're head over heels for the brat."
I press my lips together into a thin pale thin as I glare at the smaller male,"Well, since you know everything what are we going to do about it?"
He takes a sip of his tea then sets the cup into it's saucer and stands up,"There is nothing we can do," he places the cup and saucer on my desk and claps his hands,"She's already gone, probably already in the next town by now. We can't get her back until we get to the walls."
Mike walks into my tent just as I'm about to reply, his golden eyes run over the pair of us before he takes a deep breath through his nose,"Smells like anger and confusion in here." His eyes don't stray from me as he speaks and in response I bristle.
And again before I can reply Levi jabs a finger at me,"Lover boy here is pissed off because Sakura ran off to protect her friends."
Mike sniffs again before saying,"We're ready to depart for the Karanese District, if you would like to pull yourself together before you have to see other people."
With that the Squad Leader leaves without looking back, I gape at the tent flaps then narrow my eyes and glare at where he was moments ago.
"You know he's right," Levi comments as he stretches,"Comb your hair back into place and get your shit together before you come out."
I glare at his back as he leaves and when he does I fold my arms over my chest and huff. Yet, I can't help to agree with the Squad Leader and the Lance Corporal; I have to stop bending myself out of shape because of this if anything is to happen it will happen when it is supposed to. There is nothing I can do about her leaving and I won't see her again until I get to the walls, so I need to get there as soon as I can.
With a deep breath, I fix my hair and walk out of my tent so it can get dismantled. Hanji runs up to me with her horse reins in one hand and my horse's reins in the other. She gives me a small smile and hands me Buddy's reins. That's when I remember Sakura's words before she turned around and galloped off 'Te Amo, Erwin' the accent she used with the words sounded vaguely familiar at the time and now I know why. I remember hearing Hanji speak when she was extremely frustrated with the same accent.
"Hanji, I have a quick question."
She raises an eyebrow,"Are you going to ask whether or not you should marry Sakura?"
My eyes widen in shock,"No, that's NOT what I was going to ask." I say as I swing up on Buddy's back and pull him toward the front of the formation.
Hanji laughs,"Okay, but I think you totally should! Anyway what was your question?" She snaps her reins and pulls up next to me.
"My question was: What does Te Amo mean?"
Her eyes widen behind her googles and she twists around in her saddle to look at me with them,"When did you learn Spanish?!"
I blink,"The language is Spanish?"
Understanding dawns on her face,"Ah, it must have been Sakura because I saw her walking around the Headquaters carrying the 'Spanish for Dummies' book."
"Well, what does it mean?"
She sits back and another look crosses her face that I don't quite understand,"It means I love you, Erwin. It means I love you."-Sakura's POV-
I whiz around the Titan the hooks of my maneuvering gear hooking into the sides of brick buildings so I'm spinning around a steeple as it's hand smacks into the brick work. Once I'm back around the steeple and defiantly staring in the Titan's face I hook onto its face and fly past it's face just to spin around its neck and cut open it's nape.
Sighing I land on a nearby roof and reach up to rub the cut on my forehead while muttering darkly underneath my breath,"That's the fourth one in this town alone." I grunt as I stretch my arms over my head then I drop back onto the street level and call for Kurodayu.
I swing up onto its back while affectionately rubbing his neck,"We only have half an hour of riding left boy stick with me." Kurodayu grunts and stamps his feet impatiently, so with a small smile I snap his reins and we set off galloping back into the never changing plains.
As we draw closer to the wall the number of Titans grow drastically larger, and my heart drops with each small group I have to veer around.
"Maybe something happened besides the wall being breached. That's possible, right?" A single tear rolls down my cheek as Kurodayu climbs the final hill and I know, it's inevitable, what's on the other side. With my eyes filling with tears with each step that Kurodayu takes that's closer to the crest of the hill, I load my flare gun with the purple flare that Erwin gave me just as we reach the crest.
Countless tears roll down my cheeks as I pull the trigger and let the extremely loud flare fly through the sky.
Erwin should know to take the formation else where.
The wall has fallen.-Erwin's POV-
"Sir! Purple flare sighted from the west!" Mike says as he points a finger toward the climbing violet flare. My heart drops with the realization, even though it makes me happy to know Sakura is safe the purple flare is a definite sign.
The wall has fallen.
