The sounds of your footsteps echoed in the hallway, as you make your way to the Ex-Commander's office.
You pulled your hood further in front of your face, hoping no one else is around.
"No one is going to recognize you here, (y/n)." Notes your companion walking to your left, with a smirk. "Even so, I don't want to take any chances." You answered as your head swivels from left to right to confirm you two are still the only ones around.
The man walking next to you pulled on your arm for you to stop, looking for your familiar (e/c) eyes hidden under your hood. "You don't have to do this, (y/n)," he said softly, "you'll have full citizenship in less than 2 months."
You lifted your hood slightly, meeting his cool hazel eyes with your determined (e/c) ones, "I know, Peter. But you know that's not why I'm doing this." You squeezed his hand and gave him a small smile. You know he doesn't really approve of your choice, but he has known you long enough to know when your mind is made up.
He sighs heavily as he lets go of your hand, and runs his hand nervously through his ear length curly black hair. He decides to leave it at that, and leads the rest of the way to the office of Keith Shadis.
"Do you think he will remember who you are?" Peter asks without looking back at you. You were silent for a moment, pondering your answer. It's been 4 years since you met Shadis, and the circumstances of your meeting weren't exactly ideal. But he has met many people under similar circumstances, so you doubted he would recognize you.
"I don't think so, but it doesn't matter," your eyes darken a bit at the memory, "maybe it is best he doesn't, but regardless it doesn't have anything to do with why I want his recommendation."
Peter nods quietly and doesn't push you any further; he knows it's a touchy subject for you.
He hasn't seen you so adamant about something in a long time. When you heard about the scouts having a human that can turn into a titan, you had been determined to find your way into the scouts.
You and Peter reach Keith Shadis' office door, taking a deep breath you knock softly on the wooden door.
A loud mumble can be heard from the other side of the door, signalling for you to come inside. You slowly open the door and walk inside the small office, Peter following closely behind you.
Shadis raises his head slowly and nods at Peter, "Dr. Thompson, is this the woman you were referring to?" Peter nods as you step forward, hood still pulled over your eyes.
Shadis' usual frown deepens as he looks disapprovingly at your hood covered face. "Remove your hood, please." He says as he sits back in his seat, crossing his arms.
"Do titans need to know what I look like before devouring me?" You smirk sarcastically. You pull your hood back slightly, just enough so you can clearly see Shadis' face. That may have been a mistake. You're not one to back down, but something menacing darkened his eyes. You decided he probably wasn't one to be snarky with. Noted.
You reluctantly pulled your hood off, revealing your large (e/c) eyes, soft pink lips and (h/c) hair pulled back in a tight braid. Even though he tried to hide it, Shadis couldn't help but appreciate your beautiful features.
Your (e/c) eyes looked everywhere around the room, but not directly at Shadis. No matter how many times men marvelled at your looks, it still made you uncomfortable.
Peter chuckled a little bit, noticing how uncomfortable you were. "This is (y/n) (l/n), she-"
"I know who she is," Shadis interrupted Peter, not taking his eyes off of you, "we've met."
