Second Person POV

After the loss of his only two friends from their first expedition, you were the first person to be there for him. You had already been in the Scouts for about nine years prior to the recruitment of the gang trio, so you were already acquainted with death. Even though he was from the Underground and never showed an ounce of amusement or emotion, you still respected him like any other human being deserving of kindness. He was no different than anyone else.

You were cautious at first, obviously expecting a lot of hesitancy from him when you first reached out to him but you were ready for the hard work involved to simply gain his trust. Once he realized you were not going to give up, he lightened his tough exterior enough to try and accept your kind actions. Plus, you graduated top 10 of your class for strength and the Commander was thinking about promoting you to a Captain, so, Levi already had to respect you. You were dubbed Humanity's Second Strongest Soldier after Miche Zacharius. Even after successfully gaining Levi's trust over the next year, you kept up with the routine until one day he didn't bat an eye when you called him your friend. As shocked as you were that he didn't pull you into a headlock for such a label, you also felt relieved your efforts weren't being wasted.

However, this new friendship gradually blossomed into something much more. You practically considered him your best friend after a few months but eventually, you noticed yourself feeling funny around him. Your stomach would twist but your other friend, Hange, said it was just butterflies, as much as you tried to deny it. Not only that but sometimes you felt yourself blushing around him. The obscure sensations were just that. Obscure. There was no way you were developing a crush on your best friend. You would never admit to having feelings for the young man, who was only a year younger than you. You would rather lay to rest before confronting him about those thoughts.

Expedition Outside of Wall Maria, 845

Its the first expedition in a month and you're stationed alongside both your friends, Hange, and Levi. Even for as long as you've been serving, you still manage to get a bit anxious over leaving the Walls to fight. Hange poses no fear towards the Titans and Levi has God-like strength, easing your nervous state while you wait for the gate to open. All three of you are the best and the most likely to survive any expedition so there's nothing to be doubtful of. To you, this is just another day of work waiting to be over with. Before mounting your horses, you give Hange a hug then, turn around to throw your arms around Levi before he has the chance to shrug you off of him.

The first few seconds always go by in a flash, considering all the chaos in the air while soldiers cry out during the charge. Officially outside of the Walls and away from your home, everyone splits into their desired formation to cover as much land as possible. Following Hange, Levi rides beside you as you head south with the rest of your small squad.
