MY HEADCANONS :

Rivaille is 25

Eren is 18

NOTE: This is like my first fanfic ever, also English is not my first language so there might be mistakes, nope, there will be mistakes. Hope you will enjoy it anyway, Ale. I can't belive I wrote this.

As all new recruits left, the room fell silent but the atmosphere still felt heavy. Eren found it hard to breath for all their words where still echoing in his head and he still felt on his back their fearful stares. They did not want him to be a part of their team. They did not trust him. But how could they, thought Eren, even I don't trust myself. How could they trust me?

"HE is gonna be a part of our team?"

"I don't want to die, does HE really has to be in our squad?"

"Am I supposed to put my life in HIS hands? Really?"

"I knew choosing scouting legion was a bad idea…"

They never said those words loudly - they were just whispering to each other in voices so quite, they were hard to hear. But Eren heard them clearly and those words cut through him like a knife. But the most hurtful thing was that they were right. It is dangerous to stay around him. Not always had he control over his titan form, even though he was doing his best to keep his consciousness, there still were times it just didn't work.

Eren sighed and tilted his head back.

Who am I?

'Say Eren…'

Eren looked at the other side of the table where Rivaille sat. He had no idea he didn't left with them and was a little surprised to see him sitting there and quietly drinking his coffee. The black haired man didn't look at him, though. He was staring into the undescribed void before him as if it was the only thing worth his attention.

'… you were there at Wall Maria, weren't you?'

Eren only nodded with a sorrowful expression on his face. Rivaille still not looked at him as he took another sip of his coffee. Eren liked how corporal never hold his mug by it's handle.

'You saw things those shitty brats have never even imagined." Rivaille finally looked at Eren, but the look he gave him was cold and emotionless as usual. "And yet you managed to stay yourself." Corporal put his now empty mug back on the table, he stood up and slowly begun walking toward the exit. He was just about to grabb the door knob when Eren grabbed him by the sleeve.

"But just who am I?"

Rivaille turned to him and looked at Eren with a disapprobation and annoyance.

"I'm sorry" Eren stood back a little and fixed his eyes on his shoes.

"You don't get it, do you?"

"I'm sorry."

"You're more human than they are, you damn brat."

Eren fell silent. His bright emerald eyes looked at Rivaille with a mix of surprise, relief and gratitude. Suddenly the air weren't as heavy as before and he felt a subtle warmness in his chest.

"Thank you" said Eren in a quite voice and offered a hand to corporal.

"What is it?" asked Rivaille not hiding disgust.

"A handshake" Eren was a little embarassed and he didn't know how to react. This was all he could come up with.

"Not happening. They say a kiss is more hygenic than a handshake"

Eren then, without a word, unconsciously lowered his head and placed a soft, delicate kiss on Rivaille's mouth.

Damn brat.
