My Warrior

Chapter 6

I ended up waking up to the smell of alcohol and saw a cotton ball Bertholdt put in front of my nose.
"Thank goodness you're awake, we were starting to get worried." Bertholdt said.
"So worried that Bertholdt was about to start crying." Reiner said with a chuckle.
"Th-that's not true! Were a team. Of course we have to be worried about each other." Bertholdt said as he put away the small first aid kit we had gotten in our backpack.
"You still thirsty Y/N?" Bert asked.
"Yes."
He handed me the water and I quickly drank from it again quickly.
"Y/N calm down, drink it slowly. Your gonna ch-"
Reiner started but before he could finish I started coughing and felt a hand patting my back and saw it was Bertholdt.
"Guys I'm..I'm sorry. You two are the sharpest out of everyone and you guys get the good grades and because you guys got stuck with me all three of us will fail."
"Don't worry about it. Will probably only get yelled at by the instructor but we won't fail this." Reiner said.
"Right. So rest as much as you need until you're feeling better and can get back up on your feet. And well head on back." Bertholdt said.
"O-okay."
After five minutes of resting a bit I actually felt a lot better.
"Guys I'm ready. Let's go." I say as I got up.
"You sure you gonna be okay?" Bertholdt asked.
"Yes."
We headed out back to base and thought we were the last ones to arrive there but to our surprise the only squads there were Sasha, Armin, and Jean and Mikasa, Connie, and Eren.
"Hey you guys!" Connie yelled.
I quickly run up to him and Sasha who I quickly hug. Armin started to come up to us and asked me how my squad did.
I told him and the other two what happened.
"Damn. You sure you're okay Y/N?" Sasha asked.
"Yeah."
"I think you should go rest until dinner Y/N, don't over do it." Armin said.
"Yeah I agree with Armin." Connie said.
"But I-."
"Come on, let's go!" Sasha said as she grabbed my wrist and dragged me back to the girls dorms.
When we got to our dorms I laid in my bunk that me and Sasha shared. She slept on top and I on the bottom since sometimes I would always wake up to use the restroom. Sasha sat on a bunk across me.
"So it was going all well until you got dehydrated?" Sasha asked.
"Yes and also..the place we had to get to was in the exact same location that my dad use to take me and my brother when we were little and that triggered me and I was so close to ruining it for Reiner and Bertholdt."
"But....?"
"They stopped me. They told me not to rush things. That were a team."
"And who took care of you the most?"
"Bertholdt did."
"I know you are going to yell at me for this and before you do don't give me the "he would always stare at Annie a lot" crap cause believe me or not and I only acted as if I didn't see anything cause I know he probably would have got nervous seeing that I caught him but he stares at you too and the times he stopped starring is when Reiner would talk to him. And..."
"And...?"
"That one time I got partnered up with him he asked me if I knew you liked any of the boys."
"And what you tell him?"
"I told him not that I'm aware of and even if I did I wouldn't tell him."
"Oh." I quietly say.
"Y/N are you okay? You sound a little sad."
"I'm fine Sasha no worries."
"But-"
"I like him."
"Like who?"
I only look down to the floor.
"You like Bertholdt?" Sasha asked.
"Yeah."
"Oh my gosh!!!" Sasha screamed in excitement.
"Then why are you sad?"
"You know why Sasha. It's pretty obvious he likes Annie and I've actually liked him for quite sometime now and the only reason why I try hard to ignore what I feel is because of that and also we have duties. We need to put others before us and-"
There was a knock on the door and a short petite blonde girl came in. Krista.
"Hey you two!"
"Hey" We both say.
"So what are you guys talking about? Armin told me you two would be here."
"Were just talking about how our day went." Sasha said.
"Oh nice! How did it go for your guy's squad?" Krista asked.
Sasha told her about how it went for her. Apparently she found some lizards and she so badly wanted to get them to eat but both Armin and Jean didn't let her.
Typical Sasha
I told her what happened with me and I was in here till dinner time so I can have rested a bit.
"Oh I'm sorry to hear that Y/N but it's nice to hear you're doing well." Krista said.
After catching up a bit with Krista there was a knock on the door and Mikasa opened it up.
"Hey you guys it's dinner time."
We head on to the mess hall and it was crowded as usual.
I got my plate of food and I actually saw a table where it was only Connie, Jean and Eren.
Me, Sasha, and Mikasa went to go sit over with them.
"Were having the day off. What should we all do?" Jean asked.
"Me and Y/N are gonna go fishing. Will have fish for breakfast, lunch, and dinner." Sasha sang happily.
"And then when the higher ups are distracted I might-"
"Don't think about it potato girl!" Jean said.
"Sasha you're gonna get in trouble someday!" Eren said.
"Does it really surprise you man?" Connie asked Eren.
I giggled a bit and told them to leave her alone while Mikasa remained silent.

Bertholdt's POV

I see Y/N laughing and talking with Sasha, Eren, Connie, and Jean. Oh how I wish I was one of them right now. I keep sighing sadly and kept pushing my soup around with my spoon. I hate myself for another reason. I have a mission. I'm not suppose to have any romantic feelings for anyone. And by that I mean...not anyone that wasn't from my hometown yet...I like Y/N. I could see from the corner from my Reiner having an annoyed look. I could already sense what was coming after dinner. Reiner giving me the usual talk. I quickly got up and dumped my tray and I saw Reiner wanting to follow but I told him not to.
I just wanted to be left alone. I need to get a grip. I need to forget about her. Sooner or later people are going to find out the truth about me and Reiner and when they do Y/N will hate me. I have feeling that between her and Eren she will be the one to hate me the most.
