My Little Brat

Will You Be Mine?

We were out on patrol when Eren decided to break the silence that had been lingering for about an hour now.

" Hey Corporal? "

" Yes, what is it? "

" Well... I was wondering..."

" Spit it out, Jaeger "

" W-well, why aren't we on a mission today? "

" If you had been paying attention to our weekly meetings, maybe you would know. However, you should know this. Listen up. We have the week off, but I don't trust those idiots to patrol. Therefore, you and I will be patrolling. "

" Oh. Okay. "

" When we get back to the castle we're cleaning again. "

" But Heichou! "

" Don't you Heichou me. " I say, turning and crossing my arms.

" Fine..." He huffs and hangs his head, making that irresistible pouting face that could melt even me.

It took all my will power not to just hold him close and ask him to be mine. ' I need to ask him tonight. I have to. If not then tomorrow. '

We had gotten back to the castle and begun cleaning, when Eren came up to me and started wringing his hands, hanging his head.

" C-Corporal.... "

" What is it this time Eren? "

" I-I broke a vase... "

" You did what? "

" I broke a vase... I'm sorry! " he says blocking his face slightly.

" Then clean it up. "

" Y-you're not mad...? " he asks, lowering his hands and giving me a puzzled expression.

" No, but I will be if you don't clean it up. "

After those words he left the room quickly to clean the mess.

After he had finished his chores he returned. I had already finished my work, long before him, and was sitting in my study, still in my cleaning clothes.

He knocked on the door and I looked up, already knowing who it was.

" Corporal, I finished. "

" I noticed. "

He walks closer and looks to me for orders and I look up from my book, taking off my glasses. The sun setting outside, breeze blowing through the window.

" Eren... " I say quietly.

" Y-yes? "

'Why is he using my first name?' I could see he was thinking words along those lines.

I stand and look up at him.

" Eren, what are your thoughts on me? "

" W-well, you're very respectable and you're very strong-willed, and you can be caring when you want to be. I admire you very much. "

" Well, thank you. Now I have another question for you. "

" What is it? "

" Will you go out with me? "
