The next morning I woke up with a shock. I sat straight up in my bed and frowned. Something woke me up but everything was as it was the night before. I looked over at Petra and saw that she was still fast asleep and the first rays of sunlight were coming through the edges of the curtains. I sighed and got up out of bed. Then I heard a clunking noise coming from the window. I rubbed my eyes and went over to it opening the curtains a little. When my eyes adjusted to the sunlight I saw Jake stood just below the window, fully dressed and smiling up at me. Feeling confused at what he was doing at such an hour I opened the window.

"Morning Drew." He said cheerily.

"Jake what are you doing outside my window at this time in the morning?"

"I wanted to talk to you."

"You could have knocked on the door to my room you know?" He smiled and scratched the back of his head, the way he did when he made a mistake or nervous about something.

"Yeah I tried that but I kind of got lost in the building. So anyway do you want to go for a walk with me?"

"Now?"

"Yeah it's just I woke up at midnight and couldn't sleep. I'm kind of nervous about the mission that we're going on today and needed someone to talk too. So I found my self trying to find you."

"Me? If you wanted someone to talk to you should have called for Petra, she is so much better at comforting people than I am."

"Drew...please." He said looking up at me with big purple pleading eyes.

"Alright. Let me get dressed and I'll be down..."

"Sorry to wake you up." Said Jake as I closed the door to the building the Levi squad shared together. I had gotten dressed really quickly and was just putting on my scouting legion jacket on with the wings of freedom on the back.

"It's no problem. So where do you want to walk too?"

"I don't mind where I just wanted a walk."

"Alright." I sad following him as he began to leave. "You know you should be that nervous about today. You've served this cause for 9 years and now your with us and the Captain."

"I know but I have a gut feeling that something's gonna go wrong today."

"I don't think that anything really ever goes right when we step outside those walls. Soldiers fall and there is nothing we can really do to save them. Even when the mission is claimed to be a success, it never really feels like it after the lives that were lost in the process."

"You saying your not nervous?"

"No I am a little. I always am, I don't show it. I have to be strong for Petra. She gets scared, every time but that's understandable. That's what your meant to feel. Even in the best squad with the best Captain the Survey corps has ever seen things can still go wrong. Not even the best of the best can predict what will happen out there. That's territory and we just have to pray that we're ready for whatever comes our way."

"That's why they call you the saviour of the survey corps huh? The daughter of Commander Henry Kimura."

"That title isn't as impressive when you barely knew him yourself. Most people know my Dad better than I did."

"How old were you when he...?"

"9, I was 9."

"And your Mum?"

"Died 2 years later due to illness." I said and the conversation seemed to die a little there. We both stopped as we got to the streets if Trost. There were still people everywhere but there was a noticeable decrease in the amount of people there. Jake grabbed my hand and began to pull me away from the sight. "Hey Jake..." I began.

"I have to ask you something Drew. These something I have to know before we leave today." He said cutting me off.

"What? What do you want to know?" He stopped pulling me when we were behind a old looking building, out of the sight off any on lookers we might have had.

"Last night Gunther said something to me. I want to know if it's true."

"What did he tell you?"

"He said that I should stop trying with you because your heart already belongs to another, but he didn't say who that other was. Who is it?"

"What? I-I don't know. These past couple of days, since I met you things have been really confusing."

"Confusing how?"

"I-I can't explain it. I can't tell you that I love you or anyone else because I don't know how if feels to love someone. I have never been in love before." Jake looked shocked at this information.

"Really? Not even once?"

"No. I have never really had any friends to develop feelings for. When I was you get I was always at home, alone, practising my ass of in the back yard to that I could make it into the survey corps. That's all I ever wanted, to be like my Dad. To fight for humanity. I was always told that I couldn't do it because I am psychically weak because of my traumatic birth but that only made me want it more. So I pushed myself and worked as hard as I could. Friends and everything else just didn't matter to me, I was alone. Then when I joined the trainees I met Petra. My first real friend. She and I trained together and I made a few more friends but if Petra wasn't there I wouldn't have even talked to them. Even then I kept the talking to a minimum, trained when everyone else was asleep. I have never had time to fall in love, never thought about it. Even now I struggle. I'm always going off on my own in missions, killing by myself because that's the way I'm used to it. Petra is always trying to get me to rely on the rest of the squad more but I struggle to do it. Then you come along and things get complicated."

"Maybe I can help make things clearer for you." He said as he stepped forward and took me into his arms.

"Jake..." I began my face becoming bright red.

"I have to know." He said as his lips came down on to mine. I froze the fear of what was happening slowly setting in. His lips were warm but that was it. There was nothing, I felt nothing. My mind was drifting I wasn't thinking of the man I was kissing I was thinking of another. I was thinking of...

"A gentleman would wait for a woman's consent before doing that." Said the cold and angry voice of Captain Levi. Jake pulled away and moved away from me leaving a large gap between us.

"Oh Captain Levi Sir." Said Jake while I stood there still shocked about what had just happened. The Captain walked over and stood by my side.

"Go and get the horses ready." He ordered. Jake looked from him to me before nodding slowly and turning and walked off. The Captain took my chin in between his thumb and forefinger. He lifted it up so that I was looking at him. He studied me closely. "Did he hurt you at all?"

"No, no I'm okay."

"Good." He said letting go off me.

"Levi." I called out without thinking of how I was addressing him. The Captain smirked and turned his head to the side to look at me.

"Yes Drew?"

"Um..." I said a large blush on my face. "Th-thank you for helping me."

"Don't mention it." Then he disappeared around the corner...
