The Turquoise Cure (Eren X Reader)

Valentine's Day Special 💕

I interrupt our regularly scheduled program to provide a sweet Valentine's Day scene from Training Camp, because that was literally the last happy moment in this mf hell show. 

-2 years ago; Training Corps.-

    Yawning and stretching your arms above your head, you slowly began to start your day. You ran your slender fingers through your long (h/c) hair and sloppily tied it into a braid as the sounds of your dormmates waking up began to fill your ears. The peaceful silence was interrupted once everyone began getting dressed. Slipping a plain t-shirt over your scarred abdomen, you couldn't help but overhear: 

    "I wonder if Franz knows what today is," the vibrantly red-haired Hannah Diamant remarked as she leaned against the wall with her leather jacked taut across her chest, waiting for her friend, Mina Carolina, to get ready. "He's a guy," Mina said, giggling as she tied her dark black hair into two pigtails, "they don't think about that kind of stuff." 

    Shit, I wonder what today is. Did I forget a ceremony or something? I'm so screwed. 

    Krista thankfully came to your aid. "Ooh!" she shouted excitedly, approaching Mina and Hannah, "are you guys talking about Valentine's Day?" What in fuck's name is that? "Yeah!" Mina said, a bit more extroverted than Hannah, "Hannah here was wondering if her boy toy remembered it or not." "He is not my boy toy!" Hannah retorted, a deep blush creeping across her freckled cheeks. 

    You felt a sharp pinch in your side as you quickly turned, spotting Annie's frame waiting for you. "Quit staring," she mumbled, nudging you with her foot, "you look like a creep." "Hey," you asked, grabbing her bun as she started to walk away. "Um, ow?" Annie said, a sly grin perched on her lips. After noticing that you were serious though, she softened up. "What is it?" she asked, crossing her arms over her chest. "What is Valentine's Day?" Annie looked just as confused as you. "I don't know," she said, thumbing the silver ring on her finger, "I guess we didn't really celebrate that where I'm from." Not wanting to pry, you just shook your head and turned to Mikasa, who was still half asleep as she wiped the drool off her cheek with her wrist. 

    "Oi, Mikasa!" you said, grabbing her shoulders and gently shaking her to wake her up, "I gotta question." Mikasa glared at you as she quickly began to wake up, her dark eyes slowly widening in consciousness. "Oh my god, what do you want," she asked in mock annoyance. "Do you know what Valentine's Day is, because I don't want to ask the other girls and look stupid, but Annie doesn't know what it is either, so-" "Oh my god, it is way too early for the interrogation," Mikasa said as she tied her boots haphazardly. You pouted at her, scrunching up your eyes and nose and sticking out your tongue. She couldn't seem to keep up the front anymore. "Yeah, my parents used to celebrate it a little when I was a kid, and I think Eren's did too once I moved in with them." 

    "Ahh," you said, wondering why you had never heard of it. "So like," you said, moving closer to her, "what is it though?" "What is what?" Sasha's loud and eager voice blasted as she moved over to Mikasa's bed, ruffling her messy hair. "Oh, it's nothing," you said, toying with the end of your braid. "She doesn't know what Valentine's Day is," Mikasa said, answering for you. "Mikasa!" you said, slapping her arm as she dragged a comb through her unruly bedhead. She smirked in sweet indignation, "oops." "(Y/N)!" Saha shouted out, catching the attention of the remainder of the room. "HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT VALENTINE'S DAY IS?" Your face turned a bright shade of pink at the unwanted attention of the other girls staring at you in shock. "You don't know what Valentine's Day is?" Krista asked, her eyes rather soft. "Well, neither does A-" you turned, but Annie had slipped away. "Bitch," you muttered under your breath as you saw the door swinging closed.
