Little Moments
Time flies. Amidst the anticipation of the entire people of Paradis Island and with the strong support of the newly formed Parliament, the Survey Corps swiftly cleared away all the Titan inside Wall Maria. Thus, all the land that humanity had once lost was reclaimed.
Using the Shiganshina District as a springboard, Survey Corps Commander Erwin has set his sights on the vast lands Wall Maria.
Today, Shiganshina District is a large Military Camp, with several hundred Survey Corps and thousands of Soldiers from other regiments. This is where humanity has drawn its sword against the Titan from beyond the island.
Rumors circulate that Commander Pixis will become the co-chairman of the Military Commission, and Commander Erwin is about to be promoted to Commander of the Southern Theater Command. So who will succeed him as Commander of the Survey Corps? Will it be Captain Levi, the strongest fighter in the Survey Corps? All of this remains unknown.
The morning sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating Yago's face. The warmth made Yago's eyelids flutter, and he opened his eyes.
Just as Yago was about to get up, he suddenly froze on the bed because a fair, delicate arm was wrapped around Yago neck, and his stomach was being pressed down by someone's leg.
Feeling the girl's warm, steady breathing so close to his face, and turning his head to see Annie's peaceful sleeping face, Yago felt a sense of relief wash over him. He brushed aside a strand of Blonde that had fallen beside Annie's nose.
Then, Yago carefully and gently moved Annie's arms and legs away. Yago quietly got out of bed, tucked the blanket around Annie, and then went downstairs Yago two big dark circles under his eyes.
Lucia's breakfast was already laid out on the table downstairs. Still wearing her apron, Lucia smiled as she watched Yago tiptoe down the stairs.
Thank goodness, after Lucia's mother's constant hopes and persuasion, last night Annie reluctantly took her blanket and went into Yago's room.
"Is Annie still asleep? Did you bully Annie, Yago?" Lucia asked Yago, who was munching on bread, while cleaning.
Yago: "Not yet. I have to go out in a bit. If Annie gets up, Mother, remember to tell Annie."
Lucia stopped cleaning and said reproachfully, "You and Annie just got together, why are you so busy every day? When other kids your age were young, their Mother were already grandmothers!"
Faced with his mother's dissatisfaction, Yago could only awkwardly scratch his head. If he said that he hadn't done anything after sleeping with Annie yesterday, Lucia's mother would probably raise her broom and put on a show of maternal love and filial piety.
But you can't blame Yago for this. When Annie came to Yago's bedside with the blanket yesterday, Yago was dumbfounded. The two of them just stared at each other for a long time before Yago finally pulled Annie over and the two of them went to sleep together.
With such a beautiful scene and a lovely woman beside him, didn't Yago want to do something? Of course he did! He wouldn't be a man if he didn't!
But when Annie lay down, she was like a easily startled little rabbit. Even the slightest movement from Yago made Annie tense. Seeing Annie's pitiful little eyes in the moonlight, and hearing her say, "Yago, can you not be so hasty? I... I'm scared,"...
Helpless, Yago could only grit his teeth, close his eyes, and force himself to sleep, ignoring all the thoughts swirling in his mind. They were already sleeping together; how far away could "that" be? That was the only way Yago could console himself.
However, in the middle of the night, Yago broke down because he didn't expect that Annie, who was asleep at night, would do something. The sleeping Annie clung to Yago like an octopus, as if Yago were a giant teddy bear.
What's it like for a young, virile man to be held and slept in the arms of a beautiful young woman in the middle of the night?
Yago swore he had never been in such agony, his inner beast and reason locked in a fierce battle: should he be a beast, or worse than a beast?
Ultimately, a sliver of reason allowed Yago to close his eyes, which resulted in two large, round dark circles under his eyes when Yago woke up in the morning.
"Yago, you're an adult now. You need to be more mature about some things. You need to be considerate and patient with girls. Annie such a wonderful girl, why don't you cherish her?" Lucia's motherly nagging mode began.
Yago felt a chill run down his spine. He could only swallow the bread hastily and then run out the door as if fleeing.
"Sigh." Lucia sighed. The child is grown up now, she can't control him anymore.
Not long after, Annie, whose hair was a little disheveled, came downstairs. Lucia quickly went to greet her, asking after her with concern. Suddenly, the breakfast on the table seemed much more lavish than what Yago had just eaten.
"Thank you, Aunt Lucia ~" Annie said sweetly. If Yago were here, he would be surprised that Annie had such a well-behaved and cute voice, and amazed by the sumptuous breakfast that Lucia's mother had prepared for Annie.
But Lucia was thinking that Annie was so petite, she must have been very tired last night, and of course she needed to be well nourished. There was even a pot of old hen soup in the kitchen that had been simmering since last night.
"Aunt Lucia, where's Yago?" Annie asked.
Lucia laughed and said, "That brat said he had something to do and went out early this morning. By the way, Annie, if you feel unwell, be sure to tell your aunt. You young people can't be so impulsive. That brat Yago is so inconsiderate."
Looking at Lucia's meaningful smile, Annie was a little confused, but then she seemed to understand something, Annie face turned slightly red.
Lucia smiled knowingly; the children had indeed grown up.
(Muzi still have one last exam! Wait for me, everyone!)
