I scrambled to pick up my towel but it was already too late. Bertholdt walked in and stopped dead in his tracks. I was frozen to the spot. I had managed to cover up my chest but I couldn’t say much about the rest of my body. I watched as poor Bertholdt’s face went bright red. He couldn’t move his eyes away from me and I could feel my cheeks heat up.
     I kneeled down and picked up my towel. I saw blood leak from his nose. I quickly tied up my towel before going over to help him. I sat him down on the bed while I rushed around and looked for something to hold the bleeding. I found a flannel and held it to his nose. He still looked stunned.
    “I-I’m sorry Bertholdt.” I apologised.
     He didn’t reply. I waved my hand in front of his face. He still didn’t move. I grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him a little.
     “Bertholdt.” I said shaking him.
     He eventually snapped out of it and looked at me with wide eyes. “I-I’m sorry (name), I-I just… ah sorry.” Bertholdt stood up and walked out of the room.
     I leant on the door as I got dressed. I opened the door and he was waiting outside. I gave him a smile and bumped him gently with my hips. He jumped at my touch.
      “I should’ve knocked.” He said.
      “It’s your room; I should’ve told you that my stuff had been moved in there.” I said.
      Bertholdt shrugged, he was looking at the ground and his face was still red. I touched his arm and he jumped again.
      “Let’s forget the whole thing so don’t worry about it. It was an accident. It could’ve been worse.” I said to Bertholdt. “I’m going to a meeting now. I will see you later.”
I walked in and everyone was already waiting. Erwin, Hanji, Mike, Levi and even Eren were all sitting around a table. I sat down next to Eren. Erwin cleared his throat before speaking up.
      “As you know Annie Leonhart has been taken and we are to suspect that the Colossal Titan and the Armoured Titan are among us.” Erwin explained.
       “Who are they?” Eren said sitting on the edge of his chair.
       “We think they are Bertholdt Fubar and Reiner Braun.” Levi said.
      My heart stopped and I didn’t know what to think. There was no way it could be them. They were so nice and I mean Bertholdt started sweating when he got in trouble so how could he kill so many people and be good with it.  I didn’t believe them. I looked over at Eren and his face was in disbelief.
       “You’re lying.” I blurted out.
      Erwin looked at me. “We only think, we don’t know for sure. Until we can prove that they aren’t we have to keep a close eye on them.”
      I laughed. “There is no way they can be killers. I mean Bertholdt got a blood nose from seeing me in a towel. He is so nice and Reiner is my friend.” I said almost yelling. “They can’t be killers.” I said quietly.
      “I agree with (name). Reiner and Bertholdt are our friends. There is no way they would do that to us.” Eren backed me up.
      Levi stood up and stood behind us. He hit both of us over the backs of our heads. Eren shut up and looked down.
      “I’m sorry, I know you are all friends but remember what happened with Annie. We can’t risk that so (name) since you are sharing a room with them please keep an eyes on them and if anything strange or out of the ordinary happens, tell me.” Erwin explained.
     I nodded. “Okay.” I said being very informal.
     Erwin didn’t seem to care. He looked over at Eren. “Eren you will have to keep an eye on them as well. Four eyes are better than two.” Erwin said standing up. He walked over to the door and held it open. “You two can leave now. The others and I have someone other stuff to discuss.”
      Eren and I got up and left the room. Erwin closed the doors. I stopped and looked at the ground. Eren placed his hand on my shoulder.
      “I don’t want to believe it.” I sobbed.
      “Neither do I. Let’s keep going as we usually do, they are still Bertholdt and Reiner.” Eren said happily.
      I looked up at him and nodded. “You’re right, they are still our friends.”
      “Don’t worry about what Erwin was saying; he is just trying to find out who they are. Don’t take it to heart (name).” Eren said. “Come on I will walk you back to your room.”
      I nodded and followed after Eren. Bertholdt walked out and made me jump. I never realised how tall he was. Eren gave me a look before walking off. I knew I had to be quiet and act normal. It just wasn’t that easy.
     Bertholdt gave me a smile. “How was the meeting?” He asked.
     I wiped away a few of the loose tears that had gotten through. “Good, boring though. Just a good old meeting.” I said walking back into the room.
     “Are you okay (name)?” He asked following after me.
     I tried to fake a smile but it didn’t work. “Yeah I’m good.” I whispered.
     “If there’s something wrong you can tell me. I’m your friend and I won’t tell anyone else.” He said.
     I had to make something up; I didn’t want to tell him the truth. I didn’t want to know the truth if what Erwin had said was true.
     “Just a little emotional, it’s a woman thing.” I said trying to hide my face.
     “You were fine this morning. So tell me what’s wrong?” Bertholdt said.
    I shook my head. “Don’t worry about it. I’m fine.”
     Bertholdt took me by the shoulder and turned me around. I had tears running down my face. I looked away from him.
     “I said I was fine.” I said sourly.
     “I know you did.” He said softly. “Can I hug you?” He asked.
     I looked up at him in shock. “You don’t have to ask me but why do you want to hug me?” I asked.
     “Well you look like you need one. So it’s fine if I hug you.” He said.
     I nodded. He stepped closer and wrapped his arms around me. I rested my head against his chest and listened to his heartbeat. There was no way he could be the Colossal Titan.
     I moved away. “Thank you Bertholdt.”
     A knock came at the door and we both turned around. Jean was standing at the doorway with a smirk on his face.
     “Hey (name) do you wanna come and have dinner with me?” He asked.
     I gave Bertholdt a confused look. “Don’t we all have dinner together?” I said.
     Bertholdt gave off a laugh.
     “No, I was thinking you and me.” Jean said.
     “Can I bring Bertholdt and Reiner with me?” I asked.
     Jean’s face dropped a little. “I was thinking more of just you and me alone, without them.” Jean explained.
    I looked at Bertholdt. “Umm well-”
   I was cut off by Reiner deciding for me. “Of course, she would love to have dinner with you.” Reiner said walking through the doorway.
    I looked down nervously. I caught a glimpse of Bertholdt, he looked sad. I shook my head. “I’m sorry Jean but I promised I would have dinner with Bertholdt tonight. Maybe another time though.” I said.
     Jean nodded and took off. He didn’t look to upset. Reiner raised his eye brow at me.
     “You’re such a little liar.” He laughed.
     "I'm not lying. I'm having dinner with Bertholdt tonight and you as well. So I'm not lying." I laughed.
     Bertholdt leant on me. A small blush came to my face. I could feel myself developing feelings for the tall boy. It made me happy because I had always kept myself away from people. I ignored what Erwin had said about Reiner and Bertholdt. I believed they were innocent.
I was bad and wrote another part when I should be studying for my English exam. I'm such a terrible person...nevermind. I hope you all enjoy this. What has reader got herself into? Oh no what lies ahead.
