(Erwin)

Y/n, the most beautiful girl in the entire Scouting Regiment, in the entire world! Now at my side, sleeping softly while we watch tv in her basement. I heard the front door open and footsteps could be heard. Along with the footsteps, came scoffing and tch-ing. Probably Levi and Eren. I could hear someone talking as they neared the basement door, so I faked sleeping. Y/n was still sleeping when someone came downstairs and flicked me on the forehead. "What the fuck?" I whispered. I looked over at my sleeping girlfriend and smiled. "I knew you were faking it." Levi smirked. "Shut up, she's sleeping." I hissed. He smirked and tapped her head a few times. She growled and rolled over. 

"Wake up, Commander." He hissed. She rolled over once again and snuggled into my side. "So... Warm..." She mumbled. I gently caressed her side and she smiled a bit. I lifted her closer to me. Her small frail body was lighter than I expected. "I know. She never eats anything. If she does it's very little. Hanji said it's something like Anorexia Nervosa or something like that. She always stays thin as a twig, but she's been eating more lately. Hanji's been giving her counseling or something about her Anorexia. She's also got some other things going on. Hanji's trying her best to help her with those too." Levi explained. I nodded. No wonder she's so thin. I watched as she slowly opened her eyes. "Hey Levi." He smiled at her. "How'd you sleep?" He asked. "Better than ever." She whispered. Her voice slowly disappearing. "That's what you get for yelling for the past 2 days, sis." Levi helped her stand. She hissed at him and ran her fingers through her (h/l) (h/c) hair. She yawned once or twice before she grabbed her crutches and slipped them under her arms. She slowly went to the stairs. Stopping at the bottom. "Don't kill my boyfriend, or I'll kill your's." She hissed lowly. Levi froze and watched as she wobbled up the stairs.

I stood when she opened the door and she could be heard going to the kitchen and stopping. Probably to clean Eren's mess from this morning. It would not only bother her, but Levi as well if one didn't clean it. I watched as Levi sighed and turned around. He started walking, but stopped at the edge of the stairs. He looked up the stairwell once before turning to me. 

"I just want you to something..." He lowly whispered. "If you ever  hurt Y/n, I will personally murder you. Got it?" He hissed. "Understood." I said as I walked over to him. I put my hand lightly against his back. "And what would make you think, that after 2 years of crushing on her, I would ever hurt someone like her. Especially after what she's been through." I smiled. "I guess not, but after what happened to her in the underground, I've just never trusted anyone she's ever been with." He whispered. I watched as he limped up the stairs. "Maybe you've got the same thing that's wrong with Y/n." I chuckled behind him. "I'm fine. And you may want that girlfriend of your's to help with your paperwork. She's not in any condition to be going on that next expedition." He said from the top of the stairs. Anyway, I did need help with my paperwork. My desk just might collaspe from the amount of paperwork on it. I'll tell everyone we're staying back so she can help with all of the paperwork.

Y/n was sitting at the kitchen island. Sipping tea, and staring at her phone. She looked up when I rubbed her back slightly. Her magnificent (e/c) eyes glistened in the light. She was beautiful. Her crutches were at her side and her ankle was wrapped up.

"So when are we going on our next expedition?" She asked quietly. Her gaze shifted over to me. I smiled as she patted the seat next to her. "Mikasa Sukasa." (Hehe puns. Hehe) She said. I sat down and put my arm around her frail body. She leaned into my chest and closed her eyes. She yawned once or twice before she leaned up to kiss my cheek. I hugged her and placed a small kiss on her cheek. Levi came down the stairs and sighed. Eren following close behind him. Levi grabbed his wrist and led him into the kitchen. They sat down and I waited for them to say something. Y/n tried to speak. Nothing but a hoarse cough came from her. She contiued to cough but eventually stopped. I rubbed her back to soothe her. She gave me a faint smile before going into another coughing fit. I patted her back a few times to help. She coughed a few more times before she stopped. I rubbed her back and she laid her head on my shoulder. "Goals." I heard Levi and Eren whisper to each other. Eren laid his head on Levi's shoulder before turning to say something to him. Levi nodded in response. "So, uhh, Y/n..." Eren paused. "What is it?" She asked hoarsely. "Well, umm, we need to know something about you and Erwin." Eren waited for a response. She gave him a look that told him to continue. He did. "We need to know if you guys are dating or something like that. Everyone was asking if there was something going on between you and why he moved you up and not Hanji. She would be most likely to become your Second-in-command. She is section-commander after all." I nodded. "But Y/n is one of our strongest. She also was the best Squad Captain we have in the Scouts. I'm not favoring her in anyway. She deserved this postition." I explained. 

"I never wanted this position. I was fine being a Squad Captain. I would prefer staying Squad Captain and not having my team get a new Captain. They don't need someone else to boss them around. Anyway, people will still listen to me if I'm Squad Captain through fear. I would really like to be a Squad Captain again. So please find someone else to be your second in command." Y/n said as she grabbed her crutches and went upstairs. I went upstairs after her. She was right. Nobody asked her opinion about being Commander. I'll have to talk to Hanji about trading Y/n ranks. She was willing to take over her team until she had an answer for this. "I'll be back." I said to Levi. I got onto a horse and went to go see Hanji who was still at HQ.

She was working on a project for the walls. "Hanji." I startled her. "Erwin don't do such things." She said as she looked up from her microscope. "Where's Y/n's squad?" I asked. She looked in the hallway. "Just down there. They all share a room. Most of them do at least. They were the other ones we brought back from the underground." Hanji explained. I smiled at the thought. I remember it clearly. "Okay, I'll go talk to them." I said to Hanji. She nodded and I went down the hallway to where Hanji said they would be. I knocked on the door a few times before someone opened the door. "What do you need Commander?" One of the females, I believe by the name of Cassie asked. She seemed to have a sheet or something wrapped around her body and she appeared as though she was doing something with someone. I didn't want to know what. 

"Are you one of Y/n's squad members?" I asked. She nodded. "Yeah, Y/n and I go way back." She smirked. "She's going to be your Captain once again. She was Commander, but she didn't want the position and she's going back to the rank of Squad Captain. Please inform the rest of your squad." I explained. She nodded. "Thanks. And I have one question." She said as I began to walk away. I gave her a questioning look. "Are you fucking her or something?" She asked. "She's my girlfriend, yes." I replied. "Whatever happens, don't let her die. If she does, Brayden goes, and Levi goes with her. Brayden is her brother, also the crowned prince. If he learns of her death, both Levi and Brayden are gone." She explained. "So just try to keep her ass alive." She said before she closed the door. 

"I will."
