Aria Of The Cursed Dragon

" He did .... He tried to act sympathetic while saying sorry for what happened with mother ..... Hahah! It was so laughable that I nearly told him to go fuck himself .." Historia expression became a bit blank and she continued in dark tone filled with self mockery and disdain.

" You should have~ " Siegfried said with a smile making Historia snap out of her bad mood as she remembered the words she had said making her feel embarrassed.

She wondered if the Captain would dislike her for acting like that , she wanted to be confident and kind in front of his eyes.

Not empty and filled with self hatred but she was glad that Siegfried never looked at her differently making her crush on him harder.

He accepted her as she is and tried to help her , she didn't care if he had uses for her as he was upfront about his goals to her.

Heck she wanted him to use her as Historia wished to be of some help to him.

" Captain you are teasing me again! " Historia said with a pout while she looked down at her glass to avoide embarrassment.

She felt the Captain's smile was truly unfair and if she kept on looking at him then she would only embarrass herself more.

Historia downed her drink in frustration and called for a refill as she had a healthy flush on her face.

Historia's alcohol tolerance was pretty low...

....

Siegfried slightly raised his eyebrows as he gazed at Historia who was sitting really close to him.

During some part of their conversation she had scooted closer and closer to him. He didn't mind but her friends were looking over here from time to time.

Siegfried swore that he felt Mikasa staring unblinkingly at this direction but whenever he looked back she would be gazing somewhere else.

If his senses weren't superhuman then he would have easily been fooled. His cute disciple was being sneaky.

" C-Captain! " Historia called out to Sieg in a brave voice making him then his attention towards her.

Historia only had a single glass but she was already tipsy and the rest of the drink she recieved was just juice because Siegfried strictly forbade her from drinking because he didn't want to deal with a drunk Historia.

" Hmm?" Siegfried hummed in response as he took a sip of his juice.

" I-I really like you! " Historia said quickly as she shut her eyes waiting for his reaction.

'Ahhhh! What have I done! Now the Captain is not going to talk to me again! ' Historia really wanted to cry as she clenched her hands.

'Huh?' Historia was confused as she felt a warm hand on top of her head making her feel very comfortable.

" I am flattered..." Siegfried's gentle voice entered her ears making she open her eyes as she gazed at him in nervousness.....

....

" I am flattered.... But I really don't deserve such affection and I believe a beautiful girl like you would definitely find someone who would cherish you .." Siegfried said gently as he patted her head.

Historia was a wonderful girl and she deserved someone who could make her feel special.

He knew she idolised him but he really wasn't that good of a person. He felt like she would realise the meaning behind his actions once her admiration faded away.

Carla and Hange were one thing but he didn't think he deserved the affection of such an adorable girl like Historia.

He believed she liked him because she has a preconceived notion about him and once this image is broken then her interest should wane.

A harmless crush , that was all that he felt this was and it should fade away quickly .... Atleast that was what he thought.....

...

" No!" Historia nearly shouted as her voice came out a bit loud making Siegfried confused.

"Huh?"

" Captain might think this the stupid crush of a foolish girl out of admiration , which is true to some extent .... But whenever I think of Captain , my whole body feels warm and my chest feels tight while at the same time I can't stop smiling..." Historia clasped her hands in front of her chest as she had reminiscent smile on her face.

" I have heard that when you think of the person you love .. you always feel happy like your whole being is giddy and you want to see them , spend time with them , do things with them , So I don't know what to call this feeling I am feeling if it's not love " Historia smiled bashfully as she bravely held Siegfried's gaze who was bewildered by the very passionate words.

" So Captain.... I can say this with 100% certainty... I love you..." Historia gazed passionately at Siegfried as she confessed the deepest feelings she had been harbouring and trying to bury...

...

As soon as Historia was finished with her words whistles and claps resounded around her making her mind go blank.

" UWOOOOOOOO! " Some of the drunk men cheered for Historia while taking their shirts off and rotating it.

'Uwaaaaaaa ! It's over! It's over! ' Historia mumbled inside her mind as she covered her face with her hands as she heard the cheers and whistles to her apparent brave ' Public Confession '.

" Haha ~ " Siegfried couldn't help but chuckle in amusement as he gazed at the adorable Historia.

Her words had moved him but he still didn't know what decision to take .... He was indecisive due to many reasons.

"Mou! Captain~ " Historia pouted as she heard Siegfried's laugh along with the others ruffling her head like a child.

But with his behaviour her awkwardness and embarrassment was eased a little bit...
