Heal My Scars

(Y/n): Ah I got gunpowder all over my sleeve...

???: I don't even know how you managed that.

The day after the graduation, you and the cadets had been assigned to a garrison. You were really just there to do the chores the garrison didn't want to do but don't let anyone tell them that. The rose backs would get all upset of course and then go on some spiel about guarding the walls and blah blah blah.

???: You enlisted in the Recon Corps?! Connie!

You lifted your gaze away from the filthy cannon you had been assigned to polish to find at the next cannon over Eren was speaking to what looked like Connie. finding this a simple enough reason to stop doing chores, you and the other cadet walked over.

Conny: This is my own decision!

Conny looked back at Eren and you could tell he was embarrassed. You didn't mind though as you did kind of pull him away from his dreams of the military police, a pang of slight guilt still in your chest. In your pride fueled episode you pulled your precious friends into joining the Recon Corps. You wanted to make sure they were safe and the scouts were kind of the opposite of that.

???: Um guys?

Your gaze was brought back up to find Sasha, and from her hunched over position you could just smell the reprimanding you guys would get.

Sasha: I borrowed some meat from the Officer's morning rations.

Sasha pulled out a nice looking slab of maybe pork or ham and you felt your heart drop along with the rest of the cadets in your section of the wall. You slide your hand down your face, remembering that Sasha was kind of an idiot when it came to food. It didn't help that she had a weird look accompanying talking about meat... she shuddered, drool coming from her mouth as you approached her.

Eren: You have to bring it back!

???: Meat is a rare luxury now that we've lost so much land.

Sasha: Don't worry about it-

The girl spoke moving forward, hiding the meat in a crate.

Sasha: Once we retake the land, we can keep pigs and cows again.

The area filled with silence. It was the overall sight of meat that seemed to break the tension. Its appeal simply overwhelming your weak spirits.

(Y/n): W-Well... Ah! Look if you give me some of the meat I'll cook it!

???: I want some of the meat too!

Conny: If ((Y/n) is cooking it then I really want some!

As your little group planned the heist of a century, you felt your jacket get tugged from behind.

???: If we don't get back to the cannon then we won't get any of it, Chef (L/n).

The young cadet tugged you along as you awkwardly walked backward. Sasha looked over her shoulder and waved at you before continuing back to her section. You smiled softly, letting your hand raise to push the loose strands of (H/c) hair out of your eyes, clicking your hair back with the light sweat that had built working in the bright sun on top of Wall Rose. You were just ready to hang out with everyone and get some lunch/ with the way your stomach growled you knew it-

If you thought your heart stopped when Sasha acted like her foolish self, the next thing that happened caused your heart to drop from your chest and roll off the wall. Your body wouldn't even let your lift up your gaze, a massive thing suddenly appearing to your left side. Your eyes widened to the size of saucers as you hastily spoke in a whisper.
