"The Boy With The Sad Eyes" Episode 2

2 years later...

Eren, Mikasa, Armin, and you are on the way to the training corps.

"I told you that you guys don't have to do this with me." Eren exclaimed.

"Eren, you act like we're going to make you do this alone. We're going to see the ocean together remember?" Armin said with a worried look.

"Of course I remember, Armin."

"I'm only joining to ensure your safety Eren," Mikasa said abruptly.

"Well, I don't need your help."

"Yeah says the kid that has
Mikasa rescue them when they get into trouble. But in all honestly I'm not quite sure why I'm still here. But you guys are my family, so there's no way I'm not going. Plus I wouldn't mind killing some of those Titans. It might be a nice stress reliever." You said this but you were just trying to act cool for Armin. He's still pretty shaken up about having to join the corps. He feels like he has too. You feel bad for him.

Eren and Mikasa were talking in front of you and Armin. You guys were pretty close to the survey corps, so Armin was getting increasingly nervous.

"Hey Y/N?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you still not remember what happened to you that day?"

"I- I don't think so... Maybe?" Your head started hurting, this happens every time you try thinking about that day. You clutch your head and stop walking. Armin looks concerned, he reaches his hand out and pats your head, running his hands through your hair.

"It's okay Y/N, don't force yourself. I'm sorry for bringing it up." He gave his usual smile while blushing. Mikasa teasingly looked back and smiled at Armin. He looked away with embarrassment.

"Thank you Armin, I truly appreciate it."

"Yeah o-of course, no problem."

Time Skip

Eren, Mikasa, Armin and Y/N make it to the training corps. When they arrive, they and the other trainees are told to line up.

'The general seems to have it in for everyone.' You thought. As he continues interrogating each newbie.

"What's your name maggot?"

"I'm... um, Sasha sir!"

"what do you have?" His facial expression was uninterested and yet angry at the same time. You definitely didn't like this general guy.

"Um, it's a potato... sir!"

"Why do you have a potato?"

"I was hungry!" She exclaimed while trying to take a bite of the potato. "I'm sorry, do you want some...?"

"Does it look like I want a potato?! How about you have your eating privileges taken away and run laps around the camp?" the general enforced. Sasha seemed distraught. Her face was completely awestruck and weirdly... carnivorous... you think she's hungry.

"Does anyone else want to run laps around the camp with Sasha?" You felt bad for Sasha... so you decided to speak up.

"Um sir? If I can speak?"

"What is it?" His face is very close to you at this point. You could see his large gaping pores, huge eye bags, and shockingly bald head. It was hard not to let out a laugh. You were really trying to hold it back but-

"Pfft" you let out a giggle. You immediately realized your mistake. Everyone completely turned their heads towards you and the general, scared for your safety at this point. The generals face twisted up in an ugly knot before responding.

"What's so funny?" He stated firmly.

"It's just that... well... pfft... your head is pretty shiny. I could probably... honestly, *wheeze* use it as a flashlight." A few other trainees try to hold back their laughs, including Armin, Sasha, a short guy with grey hair, and a horse faced guy.

"Aw, so you think making fun of the general is okay? That you can just make fun of his one insecurity *lips quiver* and get away with it?"

"I mean... I guess not... I didn't know you would take it to heart sir."

"What's your name filthy rat?"

"I'm Y/N... Y/N L/N."

"Guess what you get to do L/N?"

"Let me guess... I have to run around the camp?" You smile.

"No, you have to hold Sasha and run around the camp."

"I have to what?" Your face drops in pure shock. What's this guys deal anyways?

"As for the others that giggled... you get to clean the bathrooms" an evil yet satisfied smile rests upon the generals face. Whilst the other 3 boys are questioning their livelihoods.

You look back and Mouth "I'm sorry" to Armin, when you catch something or someone familiar. Someone's eyes. This boy looks back at you with no expression before quickly looking away. But why do you feel sad? He doesn't look sad. But you feel sad for him. Maybe he has deep sorrow? You've heard that the eyes are the gateway to the soul.

The general snaps you back to reality. "Did you forget where to look L/N? Look straight, before I have you carry poor Armin too. And make sure to clean your clothes later... you look filthy... tch." He nods his head in disapproval. Yeah... you definitely don't like this general.

Later when Sasha and Y/N are running around the camp. Well more like, Y/N holding Sasha while running around the camp.

"Hey Sasha?" You ask.

"Yeah?"

"You know... for someone that eats constantly... your pretty..."

"Pretty what?" She looks at you intensively, with what could be defined as... PURE BLOOD LUST. You feel a shiver of fear run down your spine.

"Pretty um... LIGHT! Yup! Super light, it's like all you eat is air! WOW! So light!" You give a thumbs up and a side smile.

"That's what I thought... dont ever call me heavy..." She exclaims while mindlessly eating the potato she had from earlier.

During your last lap, you and Sasha come across 2 girls eating their meal outside together. Sasha couldn't contain herself around food.

"Would you guys mind sharing some of your... um... food? With me?" Drool escapes Sashas mouth as she says the word food as well as a creepy laugh.

"Please don't mind her... *whisper* Sasha, you know your eating privileges were denied... what if you get caught."

"It'll all be worth it in the end... what's a few laps if I can get my hands on some tasty... food!!" You hold onto Sasha super tight but you can't seem to hold her down. Shes flailing everywhere! She begins to look like an animal with rabies. How did you get yourself in this mess? If only you didn't say anything about the generals super duper shiny head earlier! *sobs*

You get Sasha to calm down. One of the girls offers her food to Sasha. But the other girl didn't want her to share her food.

"It's your food Krista, not hers."

"I know Ymir... but she looks so hungry..."

"Whatever... do what you want. I can't force you to not give it to her anyways." Krista hands the food over to a drooling and "starving" Sasha. When all of a sudden a kind of tall and muscular guy with blonde hair steps out of the boys barracks. It's the guy from earlier. The guy with the sad eyes. There's another boy with him as well but you didn't really pay much mind. He seemed to have noticed your presence and started heading towards all 4 of you, as well as the other boy with him.

But why are you nervous?
