Attack on Titan Seven Minutes in Heaven Erwin

     “The rain has stopped and you all know what that means.” Sasha ran up to you with your item already in her hand. “You know what that means right?”

A little startled by her sudden closeness, you jumped back. “I'd guess it means it's time to play again.”

“That's exactly what it means.” She smiled wide. “Since the sky still looks ready to open up at any second, I went ahead and picked out your item for you. If you don't like it, I'll just let someone else go first.” She opened her hand and let a rather large green pendant dangle directly in front of your face. “It's actually kind of nice, isn't it?”

The moment you saw the necklace, you knew exactly who it belonged to. “This is going to be interesting.” You took the necklace from Sasha, stood up and turned around to find Erwin. Not surprisingly, he was already standing up and waiting for you. “Well that was pretty easy.” With an awkward smile, you handed over the pendant. “Here's your necklace thing.”

Erwin accepted his trinket and nodded, his face completely expressionless. “Thank you. Follow me, I have already chosen a spot for our turn.” He didn't take your hand, or wait to see if you were actually going to follow him. He just walked away from the small group of people and trusted that you would. Which you did of course, but a little chivalry would have been nice. Silent until he'd reached his final destination, Erwin led you all the way out to one of the watch towers.

The location baffled you completely. “Don't you think this is a slightly dangerous location to be goofing off? What if someone standing watch sees us?”

Completely stoic, he shook his head and climbed up the ladder to the tower. “It will be fine. No one will come to this particular tower. I am the one that's supposed to be keeping watch here.”

“Oh really?” His confession was completely unexpected and out of character. “So you're abandoning your duties to play a silly little game like this? That doesn't sound at all like you. You're usually so.” Pausing, you tried to find a nicer way to say what you wanted to say, but failed. “Well, you're usually really boring actually.”

Erwin didn't seem at all offended, but then again, even if he was you doubted he'd show it. “I am not abandoning my duties. I was supposed to stand watch, and that is exactly what I'm doing. I've just brought you along to do it with me.”

Your eyes widened at his words. “Good grief you're right. How do you even manage to plan all this stuff out the way  you do?”

He looked out over the thick tree line in search of any danger as he answered. “Practice.”

“I could practice all day long, but all I'd accomplish would be giving myself a headache.” You sighed as you leaned against the rickety wooden railing of the watch tower. “You must have some sort of special something to make you the way you are. I know that was probably confusing, but I'm sure you understood what I was trying to say.”

Though fully immersed in your conversation, he never let his eyes stray from the forest, not even once. “With diligence, I'm sure you'll learn eventually.”

“Maybe, but there's something else I've got to ask you.” Scooting a little closer to him, you looked up and smiled. “What are the chances of me getting a kiss from you while we're up here?”

His icy blue eyes glanced down at you for less than a second, then quickly returned to surveillance. “I'm not preventing you from doing anything.”

Your expression dropped. “But you're not going to initiate anything either, are you?” He shook his head. “Well if that isn't boring I don't know what is. I guess I'll just have to stay up here and talk to you until you change your mind.”

Erwin didn't seem at all worried by your statement. “Do what you wish, but I warn you, I am not at all easily influenced.”

Resting your head on his arm, you grinned. “Oh that's okay, I don't give up easily either.”
