I sighed as the dancing commenced. I looked around the room and spotted couples every where in the room spinning in circles. Laughter was everywhere, and I couldn't help but want to leave.

The man I came with, Jean Kirchstien, vanished. I didn't mind, he just didn't want to go alone, and he only came to make Cadet Mikasa jealous. Not that it worked, Mikasa came with Eren Jaeger, and she seemed almost proud.

I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned to see that it was Corporal Levi. I quickly acknowledged him and was about to salute before me put a gentle hand on mine. I froze, eyes wide. He smiled and said, "Dance with me, Cadet (Y/F/N)?"

I smiled, quickly brushing off my (f/c) dress with the opposite hand he held. I nodded and said, "I'd be honored sir."

He pulled me close, wrapping his hand around my waist, and interlocking his other hand in mine. I blushed and looked to the ground as he began to pull us around the room in a circular motion. He nosed my cheek and said, "Don't look away, (Y/f/n). I want to be the only one who sees your gorgeous face. Why did you even bother coming with Kirchstien?"

I blushed and looked at his cravat. "Well, he wanted to make Mikasa jealous, although I told him it wouldn't work. But he bribed me, somewhat, so I came with him."

He furrowed his eyebrows and pressed, "What did he bribe you with?"

I froze as I remembered what the deal was.

"If you don't come with me, I'll tell Corporal Levi about your little crush on him, and you know how well he'll take that!"

I sighed as the song ended. I pulled away reluctantly and said, "It doesn't matter."

I headed to a balcony, but before I could take another step in my black heels, a pull from my wrist stopped me. I fell backwards into Captain Levi's arms and I turned my head around slightly as to see him. He whispered in my ear harshly, "Don't try a stunt like that again. Now what was it he bribed you with?"

I gulped and whispered, "He said he'd tell you about my feelings...towards you."

His breath hitched ad my tears sprang from my eyes. I always thought I'd be ready if he were to not return my feelings, but I guess I wasn't. I let out a quiet sob and pulled away, walking through the crowd to leave. I guess Jean was right, I already knew how Levi would take that. I knew it all along, I just didn't want to believe it.

I gulped and heard my name. "(Y/F/N) (Y/L/N)!"

I slowly turned. Didn't Levi have enough? Was he really going to tell everyone at this ball about my feelings and how he turned them down? Would he really embarrass me like this?!

He stood on top of a table, his grey eyes staring into my wet (e/c) eyes. He held his hand out to me and said softer, "(Y/f/n)..."

I blushed as I realized that he'd been saying my first name the entire night. I blinked the tears away and glanced at the 'short corporal' whom my heart has been set on for who knows how long. He visibly gulped and said, "Can I...I..."

He seemed to struggle with himself for quite some time, as if battling what to say. I gazed at him as well as everyone else did, hanging onto his every word. He seemed flustered, the man's face becoming more red by the minute. My eyes widened.

Captain Levi, Humanity's Strongest Soldier...is blushing?

"L-Levi..."

He gulped, his face flushing more. "I'm in love with you, Cadet (Y/F/N) (Y/L/N)!"

A few gasped as he shouted out his emotions. The words hung like a curtain in the air as I started walking to him.

I don't mind if he addressed me formally. I don't care if he can't meet my eyes. I don't mind if he gets irrational towards people. I could care less if his face was is red. Just that sheer moment of bliss was enough. I am perfectly content with this amount of happiness I have now. This is more than enough.

He got down once I stepped closer to him. He blushed and looked at me straight in the eye. "If..." Levi started.

I walked closer as he continued. "If you...don't accept my confession...you have every right to push me away, slap me, or never speak to me again. You...you won't be punished, and I accept if you are ashamed that I could admit that, if I am not fit to be anything other than what I am now-"

I finally decided to get him to shut up. I grabbed his cravat and pressed his lips to mine. He froze, not knowing what to do
I closed my eyes, happy that he at least wasn't pushing me away. I pulled away, Levi standing completely still. Our lips were cenimeters apart, and neither of us made the move to get away.

I reached my fingertips to his, brushing over them as if they were fragile. The second they made physical contact, me pulled his hand away. I lifted my head, eyes wide with shock. I closed them and turned away, tears dropping from my cheeks. Before I could move my feet, hands were pressed against my neck, pulling me back to that warm blanket feeling.

Levi's lips were captivating, pulling me back in for more. I moaned happily in the kiss as claps were heard in the room surrounding us. He pulled away, and I blushed.

He looked down at me and smiled. He touched my fingers with his carefully, wondering if I'd pull away. Instead, I grasped his hand and pulled it to my lips. I kissed the back of his hand and said, "I would never be ashamed to tell the world that you love me.

"I am not ashamed, or scared. As a matter of fact, I'm overjoyed. I could scream from the tallest building, and it wouldn't be able to add up to the happiness I feel now."

I stood on my tip toes and kissed his nose, still holding his hand. He kissed my nose back and said, "You're mine then?"

I smiled and rested my head on his chest.

"I wouldn't want it any other way."
