Chapter Nineteen: Lunches With Heartbreak

A/N: Do know that I worked my ass off babysitting my little cousins before I could get to a laptop, so sorry if my writing seems tired and lazy. I'm trying!! Either way, love you all, so here's a chapter just for you!! Oh, BTW, Matthias is an ex-boyfriend of Hitch that I made up. He's a former 104th trainee who's now an MP. 

(TIME-SKIP BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE RETURN OF THE ATTACK TITAN *Read Chapter 100*

2 Weeks Later) 

Mikasa Ackerman, Armin Arlert, Jean Kirstein, Connie Springer, and Sasha Braus were chatting about seeing Historia again, most of them still openly referring to the queen by her old alias "Krista Lenz." Squad Levi, who had come along to keep things in check (or Eren was there with them to make sure they didn't kill anyone), as they were now the most trusted troupe of Hange Zoe, were chatting about the Paradis Island Ball hosted here not so long ago. Or... it was more like Auruo kept reminding Petra of that time.

"And remember when that song played, and I just swept you off your feet like the gentlemen I am?"

"You should have worn the dress you wore to the ball. Then people would know that you're my lady."

"Remember how you were just there in the crowd before our big dance."

Petra kept staring at the others, the look of exasperation splashed across her beautiful face. Unfortunately, the poor thing could do nothing more than to just put on her most fake smile and reply, "Yes, Auruo."

When Auruo left to remind the 104th portion that he was their boss (as if they needed babysitting with Mikasa Ackerman with them), Petra walked over to Levi, her petite form making the man seem like he was actually tall.

"I wanted to talk to you," Petra said, "About... you know-"

"The... lip-touching thing that Hange got all crazy about?" Levi replied.

"Yeah... that," Petra replied before continuing on, "Let's just put that to sleep for now... at least until I can get rid of Auruo."

You might think that Levi wanted to tell her "no," but he knew that he was right. Auruo would be sure to ruin their existence if he found out about that heated moment, and you obviously know that this wasn't the time for that (*cough* Marley *cough* *cough*)

"You're right, Petra," Levi said, his voice blank, "It's just that-"

"The queen is ready," an MP announced before leading the group to the meeting room that would sub-serve as the dining area.

The two just walked up to the room in silence, but don't get me started on the tongue-biting bastard at this rate.

"It's wonderful to see all of you again." 

Queen Historia's hair was tied up into a french braid that was spiraled into a knot to make it look like a fancy hair-bun. She wore a pastel-pink gown that was flowing down to her ankles, upon which you could see white flats (A/N: I. F***ing. Hate. High. Heels.) A royal robe was draped down her shoulders, and a pin with the crest of the Reiss family was adorning her collar.

"It's a pleasure to be within your prescence, my queen," the entire SC group replied monotonously.

"Please," Historia replied, rolling her eyes, but a genuine smile on her face, "Call me Historia. Now sit."

The SC seated themselves before a couple of waiters came forth with trays that were sporting glasses of water.

"If you are in need to request any other drink, do tell me," Historia said, "I will be more than happy to have it arranged for you."

"You really must not wait on us like this, Your Highness," Armin said, a small blush on his cheeks.

"Nonsense, Armin," Historia replied, "You are my guests, and it is basic manners for a host to treat their guests like royalty. Secondly, you are all greatly important to me, as you have helped me in many ways to find myself. Lastly, just call me Historia!"

Everyone giggled before becoming comfortable enough to request different drinks, Levi asking for some herbal tea.

The day went from start to middle with conversations of war strategies, catching up, Eren's progress with trying to coax information of Leonhart (A/N: Read Chapter Fourteen to understand), upon which Eren started speaking a little more meekly, as well as many more subjects that I simply cannot name. In the mean time, the waiters had served a five-course meal, each one becoming more delicious and heavier. 

Things were going very well, and that's how it remained..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you seriously think that happened? Sure everything started off going well... that is until Queen Historia had said a certain sentence after finishing the fourth course, and that's where everything fell apart.

"So, my sources tell me that there is a couple in the SC," Historia said in a sing-songy voice.

Levi could see Auruo smiling proudly from the corner of his eye. Tounge-biting, copycat bastard

"So, Levi Heichou, Petra-san, how long have you two been in love," Historia said, inadvertently opening a can of worms.

Levi almost spit out his tea, Petra yelped, Auruo raised his eyebrow, Hange began to panick, and so on. 

"Actually, Queen Historia, I'm the one Petra's dating," Auruo replied. 

"Yep!" Levi said with almost too much energy for him, "Give it up for Petra and Auruo."

Hange applauded with a little too much energy for herself while everyone else just smiled awkwardly.

"My apologies," Historia replied, "Now, Auruo-san, you seem to be quite smitten with Petra-san there."

"Guilty," Auruo replied pompously.

F***ing bastard.

"How about you, Petra," Historia said, "Are you as smitten with Auruo as he you."

"Uhhhhhhhh," Petra couldn't bring herself to say anything, so all she said was, "Auruo's a.... really good guy!"

 "What do you mean that he's a 'good guy.'" Hange blurted out, "What about the 'apple of your eye?' 'The peach in your pie?' 'The blue in your sky?'"

Levi gave Hange a glare that clearly told her to shut up, but Petra practically beat him to it.

"I don't want to talk about this, Hange-san?" Petra replied.

"Why no-"

"It's okay, Petra," Auruo said, a little bit dejectedly, "I don't mind."

"Yeah, I... um.... er," Just when you think that the air couldn't be anymore awkward, it did with all of Petra's stammering.

"Why are you acting so weird?" Auruo asked. 

"I-"

"I haven't heard or seen anything this awkward ever since Matthias got dumped by Hitch during graduation day," Connie said to Jean, unfortunately loud enough for everyone to here.

Petra's honey-colored eyes widened and deflated again, which caused everyone to raise their eyebrows.

"A break," Petra said, "A break. A break."

It didn't take everyone long for to realize what Petra was saying, and Auruo's face fell.

"Is... that's what's going on?" Auruo's voice was cracking, "Petra, are you... breaking up with me?"

Petra put her hands on her mouth, tears falling out of her honey-colored eyes.

"Auruo, I'm... I'm so sorry," Petra cried.

Auruo turned away from Petra, muttering the word 'wow' before running out of the dining area, hiding his face so that no one could see the tears fall down his face.

"Auruo, wait!!!!!" Petra cried, but he was gone.

The room remained silent while Petra ran out of the room, Levi running after her.

"So.... shall we move onto dessert then?" Historia replied. 

The rest of the day was good, but nothing like before.
