My Choice

Chapter 19

Erwin's P.O.V.

Scarlet and I were to meet with someone in the Capitol today to plan out our wedding as soon as I was done with my paper work.

The Survey Corps all had two days off. Some went home, and some stayed here since they had no home. But everyone was taking it easy. It was quite a sight to see all my soldiers relaxed.

"Erwin?" Scarlet knocked on the door.

"Come in."

She opened the door with a tray of food in her hands, "You didn't come down for breakfast so I got worried."

Scarlet walked over to my desk and set the food gently down, "Are you taking care of the paperwork for later?"

I nodded, "Yes. As soon as I'm done with this we'll get ready to go alright? You can stay here if you want." I gestured to the seat in front of my desk and smiled up at her.

Scarlet took a seat in front of me and smiled back, "So who are we meeting with today?"

"The man who have me the list with you on it. Charlie Prescott. I should really thank him for putting you on there." I smiled and looked into her eyes.

"I wonder why he put me on there..." She muttered and looked at her hand.

"Well you are the most excellent female soldier in the Survey Corps. You're beautiful. You're unique. You're skills are out of this world. And when you have a passion for something, It's a burning passion that no one else has. Need me to go on?" I asked as I took a piece of the biscuit she had brought me.

She blushed deeply and nodded, "N-no. It's fine..."

"Because I can if I need to. I have a lot more good things to say about you." I chuckled a bit and finished off the last bit of paperwork.

She stayed silent and looked down at her lap blushing.

"Commander, Corporal, your carriage is here." One soldier came in.

"Alright we'll be out there in a minute..."

Scarlet's P.O.V.

Erwin placed the paper work into a neat stack of papers and clipped them together.

He held out his arm for me, "Let's go? This is a very important day for us Scarlet."

I stood up from my chair and held onto his arm and nodded, "Alright. Let's go."

The two of us made our way down the hallway and to the front of the HQ. In front of it was a carriage being pulled by two beautiful white horses. The driver from the Military Police looked strangely familiar though.

"Hello Erwin." He waved with a warm and comforting smile. I'm pretty sure I've seen it somewhere before.

He actually looked like Klyde a bit. From the side swept brown hair. To the one dimple on his left cheek. All that was different was the eyes. They were a blue green color just like my cousin.

"Seth?!" I asked.

"Yes? Is there something wrong?" He looked at me until his eyes widened, "SCARLET??"

"You two know each other?" Erwin asked as he looked down at me.

"Yes. Seth is my older cousin. Him and Klyde are only a few days apart," I explained, "When I saw you I thought you looked just like big brother..."

"I still look like him?" He chuckled and scratched the back of his neck, "It's been years since I've seen the two of you. I expected Klyde to join the Survey Corps. But you? I remember you telling me you would never join because you were scarred to."
