Always Be With U [Levi X Petra]
Kittens (33)

"Two more days.your forces will be physical combat training."

"What?!" The four members of Levi's squad were shocked. Just after they finished giving a report related to training last afternoon, now they are surprised again by a good news or not.

"Just like the Force-104?" tanya Oluo made sure, met with a buzz by their captain.

"Improvement of rank and level. If there is an increase, Erwin seems to be considering your position in the expedition formation."

The four humans put on serious faces. It seems they already know what to do. Yes, especially if you are not practicing.

"Is something unclear?"

"It's clear, Captain!" koor they're in unison.

"good. You guys can come out. Thanks for your report."

All members of the Levi squad did not forget to give salute, not least Petra. However, he allowed himself to remain in the room, until one question was thrown from his captain.

"What's wrong?"

"As usual, can I make you some tea?" ask Petra.

Levi frowned, "The stok is still there?"

Petra immediately checked the tea stock in the corner of the room. He gave a thumbs up while smiling, "There are two more."

As soon as he got the nod from his captain as a sign of approval, Petra immediately served him a cup of warm tea. The man is now turning to some paper on his desk, again.

Petra placed the tea cup slowly on the table, worried that it would betray her and spill all its contents. Just imagining it is horrible.

"Thank you, Petra" Levi said as he began to sip. "My company is here."

"Eh? B-well, Captain."

Petra also chose to sit in one of the chairs available in front of the table. He looked carefully at the serious and sharp face before him. The jet sapphire is busy in the direction of the white sheets containing it. Maybe Petra should start a topic so as not to be too awkward.

"Captain, with the time so far.we've been a good team, right?"

"Yes, I hope so too."

"What... all this time you've put complete trust in your members, including me?"

Now Levi turned his head, looking at the girl before him for quite a while. No reply came out of his mouth, because now his brain was digesting and thinking..

What exactly does a belief mean?

Levi could only believe that as long as they still believed in each other, it would definitely be a whole better.

A soldier believes in each other for the same purpose, but does he have to believe in the choices his comrades make?

Or believe in himself?

"I don't want to trust anyone too much, Petra."

"But.. unknowingly you've done it.. Like you did to Commander Erwin?"

Petra's words were not wrong. How much did he trust Erwin? In fact, he always followed all the decisions he made.

"I think believing is when you've planted the belief that it's the right thing, no matter what the outcome will be. That goes for me, too, Captain."

The girl took a breath to prepare herself to start the core topic. Both of his hands were firmly linked, trying to strengthen himself.

Yeah, this time he has to express his feelings, maybe?

No matter what happens. If the captain decides to stay away, that's fine. He was ready for all the results.

"I've always believed in you, Captain."

"Petra, I can't promise anything. You know I'm not as good as you think."

"No problem. I don't care about the end result. It was my decision to trust you."

Levi could not say. He doesn't know what to reply to. Should he thank you? In fact, his tongue felt like it was just saying that.

The result of the trust itself.. Levi doesn't even know.

No. gabe. He sure would never know. Because in the end he can only accept what happens later.

And in the end, everything just keeps going on..

Petra sighed. He knows he won't be able to express his 'real' feelings'. This topic of conversation might already be considered too strange. However, it is not a lie that some of him feel relieved to have revealed one of them.

This conversation was not like the time he and Levi were on the balcony of the base back then, flowing naturally. This time Petra felt that her captain did not retaliate much. Is he the only one who has to continue this?

"Captain.."

Levi could only look. His gaze this time was not as sharp as usual, more like it was filled with many questions.

"I am grateful to know you. Thanks to you I came to understand what feeling means to someone."

Until he decided to express other honest feelings while ending the conversation for a few minutes.

"Maybe that's all I want to talk about. Thank you very much, Captain," Petra said with a smile. Then he immediately left the captain of the Elite Force, who was still staring at him.

"Please don't work too hard. Let yourself rest enough."

Once again the ginger girl carved a gentle smile on her face, making Levi feel warm and calm looking at her, again. Again and again, a strange feeling arose in his little heart. His lips moved to call the girl's name.

"Petra-"

However, the girl had already left the room and closed the door.

Levi threw his body into the chair, then closed his eyes for a moment, still with the theme of digesting everything that the girl named Rall said. I don't know why his brain this time feels slow to catch something.

"Why is he talking like that? Why couldn't I answer that?"

Something stuck again in his mind and heart, it was all thanks to Petra. There were a lot of questions in him, but stupidly he could only hold all that.

Was the point of Petra's conversation just now a confession?

"That feeling.is it true?"

Levi again remembered the contents of Petra's letter that he accidentally and intentionally read at that time. That feeling.. Is that true?

And the expression when he was sleeping at that time..is that also true?

...• • •...

Stepping into his home took extra effort. With all the feelings that are still raging, plus the conversation with the captain who could be said to be one-sided was successful in making his mind complicated. And he kept his heart set on this.

Too much heart and mind-setting done today.

"Why am I so brave - no. Why am I so brave today?"

Petra rubbed her chest. He must be sure that everything he does is okay.

Both of his almond beads swept a glance, looking at the residents' passing in the afternoon. Every now and then someone greeted, waved at him, and smiled. No lie that such a small thing adds energy and strength to Petra keep going.

Until he was at the door again, he took a deep breath, trying to put on his usual expression as much as possible.

"Miss Petra?"

The girl quickly turned her head, finding the neighbor whom she had considered her own family, smiling at her.

"Ah, Aunt Yara!"

"I think I just saw you go home again. Where have you been, son?"

"That's. I'm very busy at headquarters. There are many tasks to be done and I also have to help my boss. So, I didn't have time to go home" Petra answered half-lyingly.

"Oh, so it seems. You can still stop by I'm happy. Nami keeps asking you about it. She said she wanted to play with you."

Petra smiled slightly, "Tell him that's my promise. I'll visit you more often too."

"Thank you, Son. Thankfully, Bibi and Nami never regret knowing you and your family. You're a very good boy."

"Thank you very much, Auntie."

"Together, Son. If you need help, don't hesitate to tell me."

Petra smiled softly as she nodded, and immediately stepped inside the house.

...• • •...

"I'm home."

Looks worried look from the face of the man who began to wrinkle. The owner slowly approached with a hand holding a broom.

"Where have you been, Petra? You know I'm worried about you. It's been almost three days that you didn't come home" Mr. Rall said.

Petra was so relieved to know her father was still worried about her. The girl was secretly grateful. However, for now he could not show the look of his longing. He has to hold it.

"Dad, I want to talk."

Seeing the look on his daughter's serious face, Mr. Rall also let go of his anxiety for a moment.

"What is that, son?"

"We'll talk in the living room."

Petra also walked first, followed by the father who may have been absorbed curiosity. Why did his daughter suddenly talk after returning home? Usually the welcome from him is answered with excitement.

Once the father and son were in their comfortable position, the child began to take deep breaths while linking hands together.

"Tell me.. What really happened?"

Mr. Rall put on a puzzled look, "What do you mean, son?"

"If you lie to me one more time, I won't go back home. I will never see me again."

How surprised Mr. Rall was to hear his daughter's words. His worry grew when he saw Petra already glazed over with a trembling body. And the head of the family realized that his daughter had already found out the truth in this situation.

Mr. Rall took a breath and exhaled slowly. How nervous he was to face his own daughter now. He was afraid that this would happen.

No. gabe. Maybe it's time to tell the truth. It was enough he had hidden all this time, because sooner or later Petra would find out.

"I owe you to pay for your mother's care."

Petra tried to listen to every word of confession that came out of her father's mouth, even though the clear hairs had wanted to break her conscious eyelids.

"I promised I would pay. Turns out, I chose the wrong side. They are evil and cruel."

Mr. Rall looked at Petra who was still downcast reluctantly to look at him. Her daughter was trying to hold back the crying.

"Then?"

"I didn't know they had that kind of knowledge. One of their leaders made me two choices for ransom. Two women. or one man.."

Petra understood very well what 'two women or one man' meant was herself, her mother, and Revan, obviously.

"I was also hypnotized. They told me that I chose one man. I. didn't expect that the man was Revan.'s own son.."

Petra could no longer hold back her tears. He directly squeezed tightly onto his chest while covering his face. Crying sounds were heard from the father and son.

"Yes, my God.."

Petra continued squeezing her chest which felt extremely claustrophobic. How many times did he try to catch his breath. How many times did he shake his head, trying to shake all of this.

No. gabe. He doesn't want to believe all this. It's nonsense. Lies. It is impossible for Nico's words to come true.

Suddenly Petra was startled with Mr. Rall who immediately knelt before her, making her sobs even more so.

"Dad has no choice, son. I can't let your mom keep holding back her pain. I'm also too embarrassed to continue to depend on your hard work as a soldier."

Petra's tongue was confused, not knowing what to say. It felt like all the letters he had learned had simply disappeared. All he could do was cry with his body frozen completely.

"I don't deserve to be a father. I. deserve to be punished. I have killed your brother." cried Mr. Rall more and more sobbing.

Petra couldn't hold it anymore. As much as possible he does not want to vent all his emotions here.

He also moved straight from his position. His hands were held by Mr. Rall, but he was immediately pushed hard, leaving the father who continued to cry there.

...• • •...

Petra dropped her trembling body behind the bedroom door, drowning her face that might already look messy by now.

This.really happened.

The truth has really been revealed clearly from his own father.

The circumstances that he had always considered to be fine.all of them were lies.

Petra gritted her teeth firmly. Both of his hands tightly gripped his ginger mane. His head was stinging repeatedly.

"Aarrgghhh!!! Aaaarrgghhh!!!! Aaaaaa..."

Petra hit her chest that felt increasingly claustrophobic. For a moment he could not breathe properly. He suddenly felt very nauseous. His head hurt until it ended he hit him too.

"Why.. Why.."

...• • •...

Someone had arrived at a nightclub operating on a small, remote street in the suburb of Ehrmich District. It could be said that the area is an area that is very rarely known to many people.

The figure appeared to be tightening the zipper of his black jacket. His steps began to enter the place. Instantly seen the sight of humans who are busy with worldly affairs. Making love, drunk, dancing. It is accompanied by bright lights that change color per second.

Ignoring the various sights, one prefers to approach the tattooed man complete with various images all over the body, who is enjoying a cigarette at the very end of the table. Two loyal bodyguards stood behind him.

"You must keep your promise."

The tattooed man exhaled his cigarette smoke quietly. A terrible smile was engraved on his face.

"Stay with the old man. or.. young girl?"

The interlocutor immediately smiled with excitement while clapping quite loudly. "A young girl?!"

"The stupid old man's daughter. You want to take it?"

"of course! He's a more attractive prey than a wrinkled old man."

The tattooed man laughed softly while playing his cigarette. The fixed view of the memicing directly leads to the interlocutor.

"Wait until the next four days, you can take it."
