He was one of the best soldiers among the trainees of the 104th cadet corps. He could ace every test when it comes to strength, logic, a summative assessment or even a 3DMG test effortlessly. He was built like an ox, and he ranked 2nd, after Mikasa.

You admired so many things about him, things that your heart could not explain. His consideration for others and seeing him as a brother figure to other cadets who are younger made him stand out in your eyes more. With his endless dedication for humanity, and his immensible strength, strong as a bull, you could picture him as the Ares himself, the personification of a god.

You bet that he could even lift a titan in one swift move. Those little things about him made your heart fly out of your chest, melting the feelings deep down in the deepest pit of your stomach everytime you saw him.

Every move that he makes, causes your heart flutter with happiness. Your feelings for him were pure. You'd notice that day by day, the feelings that were kept inside your heart were getting deeper than before.

You decided that this night, you would pour your heart out to him through writing letters. This is now or never.

It was evening. Cadets and superiors were currently having their dinner at the Mess Hall. You took a seat beside Jean and Sasha. Across from your seat were Eren, Mikasa, and Armin.

"Hey, guys." You approach your friends as you walk near their table. They all glance at you because this is the first time that you're late. Usually, you were earlier rather than them, cleaning the tables and fixing the chairs even if it isn't your cleaning duty.

"You're late. What took you so long?" Eren asked you suspiciously. He looked at you as if he were asking where have you been, well, he was asking you, verbally.

"Probably writing a love letter for someone." Mikasa blurted out. Your eyes widened in surprise. You'd know it, she had seen you writing something since she was your roommate for a long time.

"Mikasa!" You stared at her as if telling her to shut up and not to spill the info.

"Oh, so our YN has a crush on someone. Who is the lucky guy?" Jean snickered at you. Grinning at you like an idiot. You expected Jean to act like this, he was a dork and nosy after all.

"Hey, don't jump to conclusions!" You answered.

"Tell us, who?!" Sasha who was sneaking our food onto the table while we were distracted from talking was also into the conversation.

"Did I miss something? Care to tell me what's the commotion" Your body went rigid when you heard where the voice came from. It was Reiner's.

"Shit. I think I can't do this." You told yourself. When Reiner was around, you weren't nervous like a teenager who had seen his crush. You were amazed and starstruck by the guy, who didn't have any idea that you'd been thinking of him nonstop. And most of all, he doesn't see your feelings towards him exist.

"(Y/n) has something to tell you," Mikasa answered with a stern voice, as always. She was cold and serious, but you knew, deep inside that, she held something soft towards her surroundings. She cared deeply about you, especially since I'm her friend.

"Hey, let's finish eating before talking." You interrupted to hide my embarrassment. They all eat in silence, not totally in silence because small chit-chats and conversation were heard inside the mess hall.
