LEVI'S

"I've never been so fullmy whole life!" There was a glint of delight in Sasha's voice. They were talking about the food we just ate back at the Pixis'Manor.

Brats.

"The food was so delicious! It felt more satisfying than slaying five titans all in one slice!" Connie seconded.

"Then there was the general's daughter. She's really beautiful!" Armin commented. That caught my attention. Erwin noticed my sudden stiff posture which lead for him to look at my side.

"Everything alright, Captain?" He asked. I sighed and nodded.

"You know, if Im not being too much personal but you seemed bothered since you went inside the castle." He said. I avoided his questioning look.

"Plus you crack your voice for the first time." I heard Hanji giggling.

"Fucking annoying." I hissed which made her laugh.

"And you're annoyed! Tell me captain, is this about Lady Adelaide?" She intriguingly asked me. I looked at her.

"What the hell, Hanji? " she laughed, more like giggling.

"She's beautiful." Erwin commented. I dont know but there was a sudden urge of me to close my fists.

"I heard Milady's name!" Sasha rushed as we walk through the streets. We didnt bother to bring our horses since the castle was just near the head quarters.

"Her full name is Maria Adelaide. Her name really screams beauty." She added.

Hmm. Maria Adelaide? Sounds beautiful.

"She's sixteen and is home schooled. That explains her exquisite pale beauty."

"Her skin was as soft as a newly woven silk dress and as pale as cream." Jean spoke as if he touched her.

I stopped and looked at his direction. The crew stopped due to my sudden motion. I looked at Jean.

"Have you touched her, Kirsten?" I asked with a deep voice. Deeper than I usually use. I saw how he gulped.

"N-No Captain. It was just an assumption." He said. I tsked.

"It's as soft as the clouds. Nex time dont assume things you havent witnessed first hand." I said. Then Mikasa spoke.

"Have you touched her skin then?"She asked. Damn! It was a trick question!

I avoided anyone's staire and proceed walking.

"None of your business Ackerman." I said.

"You're also one Captain." I shook my head signalling my dislike to argue. Then Erwin spoke.

"Just remember, she's the general's daughter. Be careful when you handle her. It's Adelaide and General Pixis once you want to get involve with her." I didnt react but I listened.

"My mother used to work in their castle as one of her maids. She's shy, doesnt go out. She once had a suitor and General Pixis scared the shit out of the poor boy." Connie said.

"Is she really that beautiful for all of you to bw star strucked like that?" Petra seemee pissed.

"She's really beautiful." Sasha answered.

"And innocent." Eren spoke.

"Plus she's young" Armin said.

"And adorable! I wonder if her father will allow her to join the force-"

"I doubt that. She's an only daughter. It's very risky for general pixis to allow his daughter to join us. Espcially the scouts." Erwin told us.

"She looks weak, too." I tried not to get mad at Petra. Why is she really pissed at Adelaide?

Adelaide... It feels good uttering her name.

"Captain?" I heard Hanji calling out for me.

"What?" I plainly asked.

"Where's your coat?" She asked. Then I looked at myself and saw that I was only on my white under shirt while we're walking.

My coat? Where did I last put it?

Then I remember I wrapped it around Adelaide's shoulder because she seemed feeling cold as we watch the moon.

"Where did you left it?" Commander asked me.

"It's fine. I know where it is. I'll just get it some other time." I said.

The thought of really having a reason to go see her again feels somehow relieving and exciting.

Damn. What's happening to me?

We arrived back at the head quarters and Erwin called it a night. Before I head up, Erwin called me.

"You thought I wouldnt sense how you look at her?" He said. I smirked.

"It's nothing." I said.

"You know I dont have anything against you having someone. Just be careful with the general." He said before leaving me.

I arrived at my quarters and sighed. I removed my boots and took off all of my clothes then took a quick bath before drifting to my bed.

I sat there at a moment before remembering me and Adelaide under the moon. She was adorable when I she told me what was her wish about. She didnt knew that I wished for more than one thing.

I wished Id see her again and I know, Im sure we will.

Second, I wished she'll be the one.

I wished she's the one who will bring out the strange in me.

Will it be possible?

So what if she's sixteen? Im just thirty, still inside the calendar.

What the fuck? Damn, why would I even think and worry about this?

I lay down and closed my eyes, wondering that I maybe just sleepy.

Thats it, Levi. You're already acting weird.
