Bertholdt's POV

Reiner and I happen to come across a little tea shop that actually selled not only tea but some sausages and some bread too and in all honesty we really don't know how they did it with the sausage. All meat became expensive in Wall Rose after Wall Maria fell. Once we entered a waitress brought some tea and we told her we wanted four sasuages. While we were waiting for the waitress to bring them I saw Reiner was thinking about something.
"Everything okay Reiner?"
"Yeah, everything is alright, just thinking about how if we didn't had this stupid mission to retrieve the coordinate I could have married Krista."
I was somewhat getting annoyed by Reiner. He was becoming a hypocrite, say it wasn't Annie who I had feelings for, if it was a girl within the walls Reiner would be giving me all this crap about how we need to focus on our mission.
"Reiner forget it. You know that won't happen. You know what's going to happen to us." I sighed sadly.
I was wondering how it's going for Y/N and her friends in Rakago.

Your POV

We all arrived at Rakago village just taking a look of what was left of it. I don't even want to imagine how Connie must feel right now knowing that his whole entire family got turn into titans.
"Connie, you okay?" Sasha asked as she placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Yeah, I'm fine, but killing the Beast Titan will make me feel even more satisfied." Connie said with a lot of anger in his voice.
Jean looked at him weirdly but it also looked like he was worried for Connie. We all knew Connie also has feelings but Connie really doesn't seem to be the type of person who would be fixated on revenge.
We were all strolling through the village and happen to come across what seem to be what was of Connie's house. Connie made a fist as Sasha gently hugged him.
Then Connie saw a somethinging sticking under some of the rocks and went to check it out and saw it was a picture of his mother.
"We should keep moving." Jean said.
"We should head back." Connie said.
I could tell he really didn't want to leave but if he knew that if he stayed here a little while longer then he might spend the whole day here.
"Hey Connie, how about when we get back we go and throw horseshoes?"
"Yeah that sounds nice." he said.
We all got on our horses and rode back and as soon as we got there we saw the captain with Hange.
"Hello you four! Where are you guys coming from?" Hange asked.
"From my village." Connie said sadly.
"Y/N, Connie, Jean, the three of you are free to do whatever you want while I give Braus here some cleaning duties for stealing meat from the pantry." Levi said.
I could hear Sasha muttering under breath "Shit, how did he know?"
"You have to be more aware of your surrondings and make sure no one is looking cause while I won't say who but someone saw you and reported it to Shadis who then reported it to us." Hange said.
"Don't encourage her, shitty glasses."
"I'm not." she said.
"Have fun cleaning." Jean teased as I elbowed him.
"Hey.." the captain said.
"Sorry captain." I say.
Right as I was about to leave I saw Bertholdt and Reiner heading towards the same direction as the captain and Sasha were going. One thing I would tell Sasha that I never told anyone is that I somewhat enjoyed talking to Bertholdt to which she teased me about having a crush on him which I denied. I told her how I sometimes would see him stare at Annie.
While the captain wasn't looking Sasha stared at me to give me the look that Bertholdt was here.
I powered walk to catch up to them.
"Captain! I have to be honest, I was the one who told Sasha to steal some meat from the pantry. Please give me her cleaning duties instead."
The captain saw through my lies and raise his eyebrow.
"Nice try but Sasha won't go unpunished for what she did and neither will you. Thanks for being honest, I'm giving you cleaning duty for three weeks."
The captain saw Reiner and Bertholdt walking and approached them.
"Hey you two, these two have cleaning duties to attend to in the mess hall. I want you two to make sure they clean it top to bottom. And report to me when they are done so I can come and check."
"Yes sir." They both said.
Once we got our cleaning supplies we somewhat lied or at least I lied about how I gave Sasha the idea to steal meat from the pantry.
"Wow, if it was just Sasha I wouldn't be surprised but you Y/N, I really am surprised." Reiner said.
"W-why did you give Sasha that idea anyways Y/N?" Bertholdt asked
Just as I was about to anwser Sasha answered for me.
"Well maybe you two don't know this but Y/N also has a thing for meat."
"Really?" Bert asked.
"Yeah, my mum cooked really good meat back then. After the fall meat became expensive. If it means we have to steal meat then so be it. Who know's when will get livestock back." I say.
"D-do you two really despise the Colossal and Armored Titan?" Bert asked.
Sasha stopped brooming for a second while I stopped sweeping a shelf.
"What kind of stupid question is that? Of course I do." I say.
I see the surprised look on both Reiner and Bertholdt's face. I was never one to yell at people but Bertholdt's question just threw me off.
"What will you do if they both re-appeared?" Reiner asked.
At this point I was getting annoyed. Why are they even asking questions related to those two monsters?
"Hey guys me and Y/N really need to finish cleaning before the captain comes and wonder why are we taking long so damn long and we want to go meet up with Connie and Jean to go throw horseshoes." Sasha said coming to my defense. Sasha may not be smart like Armin Arlert is but she is not dumb either. She could tell easily when someone was talking about something I don't like or made me uncomfortable and would find ways to get people to stop talking about it.
"Your right Sasha, were sorry. Will help you two finish." Reiner said.
"But-
"The captain didn't say we weren't allowed to help you. Bert and I will gladly help you two. It's what we do. Ain't that right Bertholdt?"
"R-right." he said.
Reiner left to go get cleaning supplies for him and Bertholdt and he was helping Sasha broom while Bertholdt was helping me sweep the shelves as I try to reach the very top of one by placing my foot on the second row I lost my balance and pulled the shelf toward me.
Bertholdt screamed my name as he pulled me away to get me out of the way in time.

"Are you alright?" Bertholdt asked.
"Yeah I'm fine." I say
"Y/N you okay?" Sasha asked.
"Yeah I'm okay."
"It's a good thing Bertholdt catched you on time." Reiner said as he patted him in the back.
I saw him blush a bit which I'm not gonna lie, I find it cute whenever he would blush, especially if it was when Reiner would taunt him with Annie.
