Afraid to lose sight of you 4 [Rivaille x Reader]

Back at your POV;

" You're suffering from joint dislocation specifically to your shoulder part. Maybe the fall that you told me is the cause of the dislocation. Other than that, you have this big cut on your right croen. Anything more, you're fine "

" u-uhhm,... How long have i been unconsious? "

" Oh, for almost a day. " , " Now remember that you're forbidden to have unecessary movements because we don't want to strain your shoulder and your wound to open up, don't take off that cast and get back to rest. Understand? "

" y-Yes!! "

" Then i shall leave you to this corporal's good care. " when the girl attendant moved outside the room, you found out that the 'corporal' she was talking about is leaning against the door frame. You didn't saw him when the attendant was talking to you because she was blocking the doorway from your sight.

" i-i.... l-Lance Corporal r-ri..Rivaille!! " , ' what is he doing here? Does he want me to thank him from saving me earlier? ' you said to your mind.

" Eh? you're being so much formal. It irritates me. "

" But, - " , " Didn't you heard what the attendant said? "

Giving you this cold stare he said, " Get.back.to.rest. "

" i-I understand! " closing your eyes to sleep you still manage to utter " Thank you, for saving me for the second time.... Rivaille.... "

______________________________________________________________

You're merely 8 years of age when your brother joined the military following your father's footsteps. Their dream was to be a member of Recon Corps and see the world outside the walls. Your father used to tell stories how frightening the monsters were but that doesn't mean he's scared to find out more on what's out there.

A fter a few days they left the walls for an expedition, a letter have arrived, the news was about that your father and brother died in the field and in the letter it said that they didn't died in vain and have greatly served mankind.

You were devastated from the news but your stepmother's reaction was in the opposite. She was mad as hell saying that it was a stupid idea going outside the walls. " Those fools!! If they really have the brains then they should have joined the Military Police!! We should have been living inside Wall Sina all along not in this crappy village  we're in! ",

" Now without money earning people in this household, how the hell can i feed you, huh, kid? "

" u-Uhh, you don't have to t-take care of me. I'll look over the house, i-i'll clean everything from doing the laundry to washing the dishes while you're away l-looking for a job s-stepmother... " you can't help but stutter beacause you're scared from your stepmother's outburst.

She's never been like this before. She's always have this kind and genltle mother figure she's giving to everyone. Not like this.

" Oh my, you have some guts there kid. Like bossing me around? " , " If i can remember it correctly, i heard rumors about some group of people selling off pretty girls to perverts there. And now that i think about it, you're quite a looker aren't you? I can sell you off to that underground auction. Right, i'll sell you off to them tonight.  " she said while having this scary smirk in her face.

This can't be!! You need to get out of here now. Adrenaline rush through you as you backed  away from that person and ran outside the house. You ran straight to the back of the house where the stable of your family prized horse is located, you heard her scream out your name but you do not care anymore. It feels like choosing between life and hell.

Untangling the horse's rein from the tree branch, you remembered how your father taught you about horse ridding. Putting your feet at the stirrup you force yourself up so you can climb up on it's back. You immediately kicked it's sides slightly once you are sucessfully on it's back. The horse galloped as fast as it could towards the direction of your destination. The Scouting Legion's HQ.

The sun wasn't yet up when you arrived at the HQ. You've been here several times. Your father and brother used to show you off to their co-members because of your horse riding and hand in hand combat skills that they thaught you despite of the young age.

You just jumped off the horse when you saw someone walking nearby. It was still early but even from a distance you can see that he is having this dark aura gloom look on his face. Never mind the scary look, you approached the guy and called for his attention. " Uhm, Excuse me! w-wait!! "

" What, " the black haired man looked at you grimly. " -do you want? "

" uh, y-you see.. *sob* i came here f-for "

Ah, why did you came here for in the first place?

" *sob* my f-father and brother i-is ....*sobs* i can't b-believe it at first-... "

" What? I don't understand a thing you're saying. " the man had asked , " Uwaaaahhhh!!! " you fell down on your knees crying when you reminise a picture of your brother and father smilling at you.

" Oi. stop.it. Do you know what would people think of me if they sees you crying on your knees? " , " Stop.it.now. " with cold words and eyes he commanded. That made you stop a bit.

" Come with me. " he said while giving you a handkerchief.

" e-Eh? o-Ok. "

" So you're crying because of this? " he said giving back to you the letter that he just read. It was the letter that arrived yesterday at your house.

" Yes. They're my only family and now that they are gone, i'm scared. "

" I know this guys. I'm with them at the expedition and i remember i heard your brother saying his last words... " , " He's saying about 'protect my sister from her' he may be talking about you and your stepmother. " 

Smilling faintly you said " He said that?! I'm glad that he's thinking about me from his last brea- " "  STOP THAT. " he interfered.

Still smilling you answered, " Stop what? " inclining yourself even more against the window's railling.

" That's suicide. You won't achieve anything by doing that. " the man said " No you're wrong, i'll achieve something from this... I'll be able to see my family again. " then you let yourself fall from a 3rd storey building's open window.

Damn this man's reflexes is good. He caught your hand just in time." Didn't i told you to stop?! " , " Please let go of my hand? " , " No. Now gave me your other hand. " he demanded.

Gaving in, you sigh as you raise your other hand so he could pull you up. Once again by his side he said, " You're still a kid, you have so many time left in your life so don't you dare waste it. ",

" I think you didn't understand what your brother told us on his last breath but maybe i do, he's just saying that he just want you out of your stepmother's side and if any of us want, that person should get you and look after you as you grows. " he added.

" [Name] " you said.

" Huh? " , " That's my name, what's yours? " you said.

" I don't have to tell you kid. "

" Eh?! Never mind. Hey mister, do you want to know what is my goal and what i want in life? " ,  " I don't want to know. " the man answered.

" Eh!! I'll tell you anyway mister, What i want in life is.... to explore the world outside these walls and see what my father and brother likes about them despite the monsters my father always told us. And my goal is, to .... Become a hope of mankind just like them... A Survey Corps member. "

" Heh? For a kid like you you already know a lot of things. " ruffling your hair he said, " Then i'll be waiting the next time we meet. [Name]. Rivaille is my name. "
