A bleak night

Erwin smiled at me as I exited the carriage, holding his hand out for me to grab. His blue eyes seemed to sparkle as he looked at me, and I couldn't help but do he same. It was the first time I saw him really happy, and I couldn't help but thank the walls for it.

Levi stepped out after I did, folding his arm with mine as we walked, Erwin grabbing Hanji's arm and leading themselves in front of us.

At times Erwin would glance back and smile at me, waving a two fingered salute by his side and continuing to walk, making me confused.

Once we were inside I gasped in awe.

Everything was so sparkly, gold and polished white. The ground was made of grey and gold marble, and the chandelier seemed to be glowing!

I turned to Levi with a bright smile, seemingly almost jumping on my toes.

He smiled as grabbed my hand, leading towards the middle of the floor where everyone was dancing to the musicians wonderful sound.

I grunted, gripping tighter to his hand and looking around, instantly seeing a food table with Sasha on it. I steered towards that direction, shaking my head at Levi who tugged me to the dance floor.

I soon gave up and walked towards him, hugging him and leaning my head into his shoulder.

"I don't know how to dance." I whispered, tugging on his sleeve. "I don't want to embarrass myself, can we not do this?" I tugged on his sleeve harder, my eyes flashing a quick gold before going back to their original (e/c).

He sighed and nodded his head, gripping onto my waist and turning around, walking towards the food table.

Sasha and Connie were laughing and joking around, having a handful of food in each of their hands.

I let go of Levi's hand, running towards the table and waving my hand, instantly grabbing two plates of chocolate chip cake, handing one to Levi as he walked beside me, glowering at the cadets around the room.

"Chocolate chip..? (Y/n) why the hell give me this horse shit? There's green tea pocky, regular pocky and even some tres leches cake. But you grab this original shit?" Levi sighed, putting a hand on my shoulder.

My smile faded as my ears and tail lowered, looking at down at the ground.

I can't let this strike a nerve.
He doesn't know.
I can't let this strike a nerve.
He doesn't know.
I can't let this strike a nerve.
... He will know.

"This is the first time I've had any kind of desert in years. My parents would always make chocolate cake for me and my siblings on our birthday and it was the best. It just something I want to remember, something for us to think about... but it seems you don't know. Sorry for being such a pain."
I mumbled under my breath, walking away with my plate in hand, grabbing a fork on my way out.

I herd him take a step towards me, but before he could utter a single word I spoke up.

"Don't follow me, don't apologize to me out of pity. I don't want to talk. I need to be alone."

I headed towards the closest balcony, stepping outside and closing the curtains, giving myself some privacy.

I leaned against the railing, looking out at the sky and setting the desert on a nearby round table.

After looking at the sky for a bit longer I turned and say at the table, resting my head in my hand and poked at the cake with my fork.

"I guess I should eat this before it goes bad."

I dug the small golden fork into the pastry, taking out a bite sized chunk and holding it to my mouth, opening it to take a bite.

I put the fork in my mouth, sealing my teeth and lips around it I pulled the fork away, leaving the cake to seemingly melt in my mouth.

I swallowed it and sighed, pushing the plate away.

It's not the same.

I placed the fork on the plate and turned my chair to face the sky, leaning my head against my hand as I tried to forget the taste of the cake.

The curtains behind me rustled, as if someone had entered.

I heard the footsteps approach me, ignoring it as I looked down at the blue and white design in my knee length dress.

The mystery person sat in the chair with the cake, pushing it to the middle of the table and leaning against it, looking straight at me.

"(Y/n)?"
