"By the walls Eren, you turned yourself part titan all to pick up a spoon??"

I sit down next to him, giggling as I do so. 

"Yeah..." he looks at his hand, "I guess so."

The whole squad is already here, waiting for our meeting, but they stay silent.

Yikes.

After a painfully quiet 30 seconds, Hange and the Captain walk in.

"What a glorious day for science!" Hange's already going off.

Captain looks annoyed as ever. "Let's get to the point four-eyes." Instead of sitting in the only empty chair next to me, he leans against the wall opposite, crossing his arms.

"Alright guys! Feast your eyes on..." she unwraps a handkerchief and pulls out a spoon, "...this."

"That's the spoon!" No shit Eren.

"Yes, the one and only. It was held in your titan arm like so, between the thumb and index finger. And after seeing this reaction, I've come to notice a pattern. It seems when there is a distinct goal in mind, you can transform, willingly or not."

"That... that all makes sense. But I really transformed into a titan just to pick up a damn spoon? That's insane." Eren looks down at his hand.

Gunther suddenly clears his throat, "So uh Eren... I'm getting that what you did wasn't something you did on purpose..?"

About damn time.

"No sir."

Here we go...

Suddenly Oluo, Eld, Petra, and Gunther all raise their hands to bite it.

"W-What the hell are you guys doing!?" Eren and Hange both gasp in surprise.

"Damn kid, that hurts like hell. I can't even draw blood." Eld rubs his hand.

"We made a judgement call today and it was wrong. Consider this our way of apologizing." Gunther looks at Eren.

Petra speaks up, "That is, if you'll forgive us. We were scared, and made a quick decision based on that. We understand if you're upset."

Eren stays silent, staring at them.

Petra continues, "Well, we need to be able to trust each other, don't we? We'll get ourselves killed if we don't... I'm asking you Eren, trust us."

"Right. I understand, and of course I forgive you. I would probably think the same in your shoes."

I stay silent the whole time...

Trust. Right... that's what keeps us alive? I like to think I trust everyone here but really I don't know if I do... least of all the Captain. How can I have trust in someone who shows no signs of trust in me?

Hell, he won't even sit near me and rarely addresses me by my first name... what is his problem..?

I lean back in my chair and kick my legs up on the table, I sigh, "Finally. It's about time you guys. I was gonna fall asleep if you all kept droning on."

"Oh, come on Y/N!" Petra laughs lightly, as do Eld and Gunther.

"Arlert. Unless you plan on cleaning every fucking piece of furniture in this castle all over again, I suggest you sit properly."
