His 11th Youngest Vice Commander (ERWIN SMITH X READER)

In a world where love was buried beneath bloodshed and sacrifice outside the walls, feelings were the most dangerous weakness a soldier could carry.

A Commander and his Youngest Vice Commander.

At some point, Erwin Smith realizes that what he feels for Y/n Takahashi is no longer simple curiosity, command responsibility, or admiration for her strength.

So when he finally says it. "I care about you."

Y/n does not soften.

She only looks at him with the same cold hatred she has carried since the day he forced her into the Scouts.

"Don't," she says quietly. "Don't make your guilt sound like love."

Because to the Commander, it may be the beginning of love.

But to Y/n, it is still the voice of the man who took her choice away.
