"Eren, calm down! You saw yourself she agreeded." Gunther said to Eren who was tapping his fingers on the table for ten minutes after Petra went away.

"Well, the truth is, we don't know what this idiot told her." said Annie while glaring at Connie.

"You... you haven't said her the truth, haven't you?" asked Armin in monotone as somethig close to realization came to him.

"Well, I wasn't completly lying. Levi really has a homemade balm for wounds, it just isn't-"

"You said it he puts a balm on a wound!?" shouted Eren, already angry.

"Which burns for 3 minutes and you're all crybabies so you don't want to do or even talk about it."

Auruo facepalmed. He couldn't believe how someone can be this... no comment really.

"Oh God! If I didn't stop her from talking further, we would find out about what Connie said to her! Aaahh!" said Sasha, both hands in her hair.

"Well, they already like eachother so I thought a little help won't hurt." said Connie with a smirk, not hearing someone approaching from the outside.

"What's with that nonsence again, smartass?"

"CONNIEE!"

Connie jumped in fear and turned around just to see really, really angry Petra on the door.

"Oh shit." Connie muttered and runned away with Petra following him.

"Get him Petra!" shouted Ymir.

"Beat the shit out of him!" Eren cheered.

"Wait!" Connie shouted as he tried to change the way he was running around the table, but Petra did the same and they stopped, but stayed in position ready to run again.

"You little..." Petra glared at him.

"Eeeehh! Did Levi use his balm?"

Petra's face burned and she chased him again and this time she managed to grab his collar and lift him from the ground.

"Petra wait! I was just kidding!" Connie shouted helpless while the group at the table laughted.

"Serves you right Connie!" Jean said with a grin.

"We won't help you this time, in case you were wondering." said Christa.

"Homemade balm!? Really Connie?!" shouted Petra.

"Believe me, I had the best intentions!"

"Yeah, sure..."

"Eer, look at this on the bright side, he really liked you and that was the reason he brought you here. So I thought a little help like bonding will make a progress."

"What?" Petra asked confused and looked at others.

"What is he talking about?"

They shifted a little as if they were ucomfortable about something.

"We... all of us are people in trouble who he decided to make his servants, except you." Armin said.

Petra let go of Connie, who let out a sight of relief, and approached her seat but didn't sat down. She gave others at the table questionable look.

"What do you mean? You were all in some sort of trouble and he was in the right place in a right time to meet you? And that's how you all ended here?"

"You get it rather quickly." said Mikasa. "For example, my parents got killed when I was just 9. I would be too if Eren haven't arrived and saved me and that's how I came into Yeager family." she started.

"Soon I met Armin too and three of us became friends. We lived in a little village on a southern side of a country. The things were perfect until the gang of criminals came. Our area was always safe, so villagers were never prepared to fight. Luckily, shepherds saw them from afar and alarmed people and soon they escaped safely. But it wasn't too great for us, because we were in a forest, picking mushrooms. Eren's mother came to us running and told us what happened and all three of us started running away. After some time, they found us. They were at a good distance behind, but they aimed their guns, ready to kill us. Eren's mother slowed down, shielding us from their guns and it... ended her life... One thing lead to another and we reunited with Armin and his grandpa only. We never knew what happened to other villagers. When Armin's grandpa... passed away... we were alone... We had 13 years when we were left by ourselves. Somehow, we survived one year and almost got killed when street bandits attacked us. That was when Levi appeared. I quess I don't need to say what happened after that."

Petra listened, spechless. She couldn't even imagine how they felt. How they sirvived a year alone, without anyone. She couldn't help but to admire how Mikasa talked about it like it was nothing, completly normal and how Armin and Eren weren't tearing up or showing any kind of broken composture.

"You were... so brave. You were just children and you managed to do it. I'm so sorry." Petra whispered, but loud enought for everyone to hear.

"Don't pity us. That's behind us and we're moving on." said Eren.

"What happened... to your father, Eren? He wasn't there when village got attacked?"

Eren went silent.

"His father was the doctor. Does Grisha Jeager rings a bell?" asked Armin.

"Is that the doctor who cured the illness in Shinganshina, Trost and Mitras?" asked Petra, eyes wide. Jeager! How in the world I never realized it?

"He was my father." said Eren.

"He went to the Sina hospital the a day before attack on village. After that, we never found him." continued Armin.

"We asked people, from door to door and even went to Sina hospital, but always with the same answer: -We haven't seen him-." added Mikasa.

"I see... Do you think he's in danger?" asked Petra.

"I don't think so. He didnt have any enemies as people said and I know." said Eren.

"And... others?" she looked at faces of her friends sitting at the table. There was a hasistation in their eyes. After minute of silence, they started talking.

Petra learned many things about her friends that day. Ymir and Christa were friend for a long time. Christa was abadoned by her father because she was the bastard of a wealthy man who already had a family. Her mother, Alma was his maid who had affair with him and in the end, she gave birth to her. Alma never loved her and her last words befre she was killed were: -If only I never had you!- Ymir was an orphan who was picked by Ymir Cult, cult of a 'godess of the outside world'. They gave her her name and threated her like real godess. All of that changed when The Wall Cult found out about it and killed all of her follwers. They wanted to do the same to her, when one woman saved her. She appeared from the shadows, knoched out her attackers and grabbed her. She was like a mother to her. However, she disappeared after two years and she was left alone. She then met Christa in a countryside, sitting on the fence. They became friends, both in the age of 10 and traveled together. However, six months ago, The Wall Cult found them and made a circle around them, their spares ready to kill them. That was when Levi saved them.

Jean was the Duke's son who was sent to other county for diplomating reasons. Other Duke, who wasn't at the good ground with his father, sent assasins after him and they had a fight in the same forest where bandits attacked Petra. Just like in her case, Levi appeared.

Eld, Auruo and Gunther were soldiers, lying half-death on the bloody ground after the battle. Their enemies were running to them with weapons in their hands with intention to take their lives. But everybody know what happened next.

Sasha was a hunter, together with her father. She was hunting a boar in order to prepare food for upcoming winter, but instead of that, the pack of wolves attacked her. She killed a few using her bow and arrows and later knife, but four of them jumped on her. She fought then, but in vail and in no time they could eat her. But luckily it wasn't a case.

Connie was an ordinary peasant in the village named Ragako. The life there was great. He lived with his parents, little brother and sister. Everything was as it should be, Connie went to the forest with other hunters to supply the village with food. Connie separated from them to catch a deer. He was running so fast after it that he didn't have time to stop himself when deer took a sharp turn on the right and Connie fell from the hill in the river. The river brought him near the castle and Levi found him there.

Annie was a girl of an ordinary family who loved to scout. She once went to the border of another country. One day, bandits killed her father, the only family she had. He screamed to her to run away and she did. She could easily take down a few of them, but others would catch her. In the end, she was overnumbered - 1 on over 50. She was running all day, until she spotted the castle and thought no one was there, but she was wrong as it showed later. She went inside and Levi spotted her.

Petra walked down the corridor, carrying a basket full of dirty clothes. It was her laundry day. 18 days passed after she learned her friends' stories. They spoke about it more often now, talking about their lives before. But Petra just couldn't figure out why she was the only one picked like that.

"He loves you."

No, it's nonsence!

Suddenly, her bite-mark started itching again. She brought her hand to it and scratched lightly. That reminded her of Levi licking her wound 18 days ago. After that, she haven't came to him.

As a redemtion, Connie took one of Levi's homemade balms, which he really made, and gave to Petra. She put it on her wound three timer a day and at this point it was slowly fading. She knew it would be quicker with Levi, but she wanted to avoid more embarrassing moments with him.

Suddenly, she bumped into someone.

'S-sorry! I haven't se-"

Words got stuck in her throat as soon as she realized who she just bumped into. Levi.

He gave her his usual, boring look. Petra was frozen in place. She was just thinking about him and now there he is - in front of her. Her heart started beating against her chest again. What happened next was something Petra never thought would happen.

Levi smiled. He couldn't help it. He felt attached to Petra from the first time he saw her. He already decided to let her go soon, but he wanted just a little bit. Just to give her a hint how he felt. Just one more time. He already deal with the fact she'll never love him. In her eyes, he was just a monster. Even if he heard how she talked about him, deep inside, he knew she could't deny it.

"You're beautiful." he said.

Petra's eyes widened. She felt something fluttering in her chest. Other men said she was beautiful when they tried to flirt with her, but this was different.

Levi moved closer, making Petra flinch. She dropped her basked and her back hit the wall as he moved even closer to her. He placed both of his hands on the wall, trapping her so she couldn't escape. Petra looked at him with wide eyes and fear kicked in.

What does he want? What is he doing? she paniced inside.

"L-Levi, what are you doing?"

"I've never felt like this."

"What?"

Dark-haired man placed one hand on Petra's cheek. She looked at him puzzled.

"You are... dear to me... Petra."

Why is he saying this to me?

Levi's eyes traveled down her neck and stopped when he saw a bite-mark he left behind. He smirked.

"You haven't came to me after that day." he said and kissed it gently which sent shivers up Petra's spine.

"Don't-!"

"I won't hurt you." he said and brought his hands around her waist tightly, but gently. Before Petra could say something, Levi started kissing her neck feverishly. He nuzzled her neck while doing it so gently. Petra forgot how to breathe. She was tensing under his touch. How in the world he had such an effect on her?

Soon she started moving her head to the side, giving him more space which he welcomed openly. It wasn't long until he started nibbling her neck, leaving his marks wherever he could, not thinking of consequences. He started licking and sucking and Petra started feeling hot. She was gasping for air at this point, even if he wasn't kissing her.

It was as carma desided to go against her, Levi broight his lips to hers in a hungry and deep kiss. She felt his tongue exploring every space that was in her mouth. She tried to catch her breath everytime he slowed, but it was too difficult.

"S-stop, please. I-I have work to do..." she said weakly between kisses.

Levi stopped and looked her.

"Fine." he said and let go of her, but not before he nibbled her lower lip. Petra quickly bent down to pick up the basked and runned away as fast as she could. As far away from him as possible.

Levi looked after her and when he was sure she left, he punched the wall in front of him so hard that it cracked.
