Thought of this while listening to the song.

Song: Reluctant Heroes (Slow version)

(Y/N)'s POV

We just came back from another expedition with some of our comrades falling in battle and everyone looks really depressed at the moment.

Everyone was in the mess hall, no one talking, no laughing, some of my friends weren't even eating......'guys I know u are all sad, but they would want us to move on and keep fighting not mourning'.

I then turn my head to the Commander's table and saw the expressions on their faces. They solemn too, then I turned my eyes onto Levi Ackerman, his expression was the same as everyone else's.

I hate to see him like that....but after all he did loose his whole squad.....I would never know how he must feel about it. But I think he believes it's his fault....but it isn't....he doesn't need to carry the blame.....I'm sure they don't blame him for what happened.

I can't see them like this, I stood up abruptly startling everyone to look at me, then I stormed out of the mess hall to go outside. I tried to keep my tears in bit one tear fell out then I used my maneuvering gear to get up on the roof of the Survey Corps building, looking out tot he distance, having this urge to sing.

Start video here

"It was like a nightmare that could make you scream

Cause nobody wants to die too fast

That wretched day of grief is so strange to me

I could see your face,

I could hear your voice"

I started singing the song not knowing a crowd watching me from down on the ground

"Remembering the day we met rips my heart in half

Cause no should have to die that fast"

I started to picture the fallen heroes before they were slained in battle, how they used to laugh and how they were fun to talk to, but all that's gone now.

"Day by day we're losing our edge

Don't you know, forgotten is the life we led

Now it seems you don't know what's at risk

The peaceful times have made you blind

I couldn't have ever thought that they would be the one that would have been taken away from this world, but we were blinded by all those carefree times we shared.

"Don't look back

Cause they're not coming back

Don't show fear

Each time after time"

I knew in my heart that all those carefree times would never be brought back to use...no...not with all the bloodshed happening everywhere I turn, I just want to feel that again....one day.

"But once again, I'm hiding in my room

The peaceful times have made me blind"

I looked up the stars above me, one stray tear falling from my eye, 'i wish I could have saved them'

"So you can't fly if you never try

You told me so long ago

But you left the wall outside the gate

So more than ever it's real"

I closed my eyes tight, holding back my pain singing this song.

"I sing for the reluctant heroes

Who give me their strength though life is so short

Sing out for the reluctant heroes

I wanna be brave like you"

I started to do the survey corps salute to honor those who have fallen, and then I couldn't hold back anymore tears I let them all out. All their sacrifices.....but that's what the survey corps is about....laying down your life for humanity, that's why we all joined. I wiped my tears away and looked up at the stars with a determined look in my eyes.

' I swear, I will keep fighting for all those who have fallen, I will avenge you and everything you guys stood for '

All of sudden I heard clapping and cheering and I looked down and saw Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Jean, Sasha, Connie, Commander Erwin, Section Commander Hanji, and Lance Corporal Levi....when they get here?

They were all clapping and smiling, I even saw a small smile on Levi's face, I blushed really red and came down from the building.

"S-sir-"

Erwin put his hand up to silence me,

"Your singing was beautiful Cadet (Y/N), your singing inspired us to keep on fighting for humanities sake, instead of mourning, we will just use this as a means to keep fighting until the very end, thank you Cadet (Y/N)" He saluted me and then I saluted back smiling a tear sliding down.

Eren came up to me and hugged me tight and smiled down at me,

"Thanks (Y/N), as Erwin said." I smiled back and needed up his hair.

"No problem Eren"

Then all of them started to surround me and complimented me for my singing, and then I looked over at Levi and he just stared at me with that smile on his face.

He looked.....happy, he looks better smiling, I smiled back at him blushing while doing so.

I hope this was alright for you guys, hope u enjoyed it :)
