Half My Problem

A/N - An update (yay), be proud. Please enjoy, bye for now~

He looks at my face, trying to find any hidden emotions.
"Look Naomi we are both upset about the law, it has taken a younger brother from both of us. There is nothing we can do." Everyone thinks I'm the oldest child and that my younger brother was taken, oh how they are so wrong. "Why'd you come here anyway, usually I approach you first not vice versa."
"The commander is here."
My voice is as quiet as a whisper, only Erwin should know this. His face shows surprise for one split second before it turned into a serious expression. "Do you know how long for?"
I shake my head.
"No, he is still here though. He's been watching for awhile I assume. Practically the whole town has come to watch this so he must've changed his schedule." Erwin just nods. "So what do we do then?"
Erwin thinks for a small moment.

We both know that if he, the commander, is interested in something it isn't the good kind of interested. "We continue with the tournament, act like we don't know he's here, that's the best way to play it safe. However if he reveals himself to everyone... No, if he does reveal himself to everyone just continue as well." I nod at his plan.
"That seems like the best course of action for now."
"Hey Naomi."
"Yea, what?"
"I may need to kiss you again." My face heats up immediately.
"You do realise your on hot coals right now and that you shouldn't say that?" He just nods and sheepishly smiles. "I know and once again sorry. Oh wait, now that I think about you've never been in a relationship have you?"
God dammit I'm so embarrassed right now.
"So that means it was your first..." Upon realisation his face also heats up, I turn away from him, arms still crossed, blush becoming fiercer. I see the girls once again approaching and he notices this as well.

He turns me around so I now face him, my back towards the girls like a target, as he leans down he silently whispers "Once again I'm sorry, please try and act if possible." I simply nod, my face red and warm. "I don't know why I'm letting you do this." My remark makes him smirk. "I swear I will pay you back." "No, don't. Just stop after this one." His smirk only grows. "Then we have to make this one remembered."
I really want to punch him now.
He gently presses his lips against my own again. His left arm wraps itself around my waist and his right hand holds my head, his fingers take out my hair tie of my now loose ponytail, he grabs my hair softly as my brown locks fall onto my back. My arms slowly and hesitantly move to his shoulders. My left hand rests on his chest and my right is behind his neck. I stare at his facial features, his eyes are closed and he seems calm and peaceful. I can feel his fingers stroke my hair, trying to calm me down. This is so bloody embarrassing, I swear one day I will kill this idiot.

"Way to go Erwin!" We slowly part from each other to see his brother, Milo, walk towards us. The girls were now walking away slowly, heads hung in shame. "So you finally got yourself a girl? Even if it is girly, I'm proud of you."
Erwin chuckles in embarrassment, I turn my head away, I hide my face behind my hair, I can feel my ears burn up. I close my eyes and try to calm down.
"Hey girly, what do you even find attractive in this guy?" I turn my head back to the two brothers and say the first thing that came to my mind.
"Um, his personality?"
As I say this Milo studies my face quickly before answering.
"Heh, for once it's for that not your looks."
"Okay Milo, I get it. Now we should head back now, the final stage is about to start."
Milo eyes his brother, I grab my hair tie from Erwin's hand and begin to tie up my hair.
"Don't you go changing the subject now, when we get home your telling me all the details."
"Don't worry I will." Erwin glances at me, telling me that he actually will tell Milo the truth. Poor Milo, he was so happy for his brother. Oh well, not my problem now.
