7 || Ownership

Reader's PoV

I jerked up, sweating profusely, having a dream about a giant dog chasing me, which then transformed into an ugly guy with a long ass beak. As I was about to saunter towards the living room, a calm and pleasant voice called out to me, "Good morning, Y/N." I jumped at her voice, and there she is, a woman walking like a dog. 

"So, it wasn't a dream after all" I thought.

 "Yes, it wasn't" Pieck said. 

"Well, shit, did I just said that out loud". 

"Yes" Pieck replied once again. 

I groaned, I continue to walk to the kitchen and Pieck is just following me like a lost puppy. "Listen" I faced her, "This is all insane and you cannot stay here," I stated. She takes a step forward, "Social distancing please."

I felt a sharp pain in my head, "Ouch" I hissed, and slowly the events from last night resurface.

"You're really a dog" I muttered, my head started spinning, I tried to reach into something as Pieck's barks fade away.

"Earth to Y/N" said Pieck as she pokes my cheeks non-stop. 

I slowly turned my gaze to her, "Who brought me to bed?".

"You, you sleepwalked" Pieck deadpanned. 

"What?" I scrunch my nose as I try to recall those moments and then Pieck laughs. 

Patting my shoulder, "Of course not, dummy", I just rolled my eyes. 

I cleared my throat, "I must prepare for my work" 

"Are you not curious?" questioned Pieck.

I ignored her and starts to prepare for us. After I finish our breakfast, I notice that my bowl on my right has more food than the other. Pieck is laying on the couch, watching TV. "Pieck" I called after her, I push the bowl on my right for her, "Enjoy". We ate in silence, no one bothers to say a word. 

My thoughts have been preoccupied since I arrived at work. It was the same day, and nothing noteworthy occurred until Hange paid a visit. As I lifted my head, the door chimed, and I saw Hange, my face immediately lifted up.

"Hange" I greeted.

"Y/N" 

She saunters towards me, "So, this is where you work?" Hange asked.

 "Yup" I replied.

"Well them, I have found a reason to come back here" she winks

I sheepishly scratch my neck, "I hope you enjoy".

She leaned in, "I surely will" she whispered above my ears.

Hange has stayed, making your day more interesting. The best part about getting to know Hange is learning that she enjoys science, and her eyes light up like a dancing firework in the sky whenever she mentions Sawney and Bean. She is, without a doubt, a wonderful woman. Because we share an apartment, Hange insisted on walking home. We also stop by a plushie shop, where she is currently in.

You waited outside, a cool breeze caressed your skin, and you relished the moment. We are now on our way home. You take a step inside after opening your door, "Thank you, Hange, for a wonderful day" you bow.

 "Oh hush, anything for you," she clicks her tongue and does the finger gun, and your face flushes. Hange hands you a paper bag and runs home, saying "Bye."

 "Wait, I haven't even said thank you" you exclaimed.

You sigh contentedly, and as you turn to face inside, a growling dog greets you. "Oh hell no" you dashed for your room, while Pieck pursued you. "I don't want to die," you said as you slammed your door shut, realizing you hadn't brought the gift Hange had given you. "Shit, the gift", you can still Pieck's growl against the door, "For fuck sake" you sighed and went to sleep.

"Good morning, Y/N," Pieck's hot breath brushed against your nape, and you were about to snuggle when it dawned on you. Pieck snickers, her head resting on her hand supporting her elbows as you scrambled away and fell off. 

"What the hell, Pieck!" you yelled.

"Serves you right,"  she walked away as if nothing had happened.

You approach Pieck, who is assembling a sandwich. "Pieck, yo-" 

Pieck gazed at you under her lashes as she licks the condiments off her finger slowly, "I'm amazing aren't I?" 

You visibly gulped, the effects she has on you is unexplainable. It scares you, no one has ever had this effect on you but it also excites you, you're excited about what kind of reaction you can get out of her and also yourself (😏). 

 She smirks when she saw your reaction, she loves teasing you. It made her all giddy inside, maybe, it was the way you reacted. The way you were a nervous wreck around her, or the remarks you'd make to annoy her or simply to match her vigour. Either way, she appreciates it, she appreciates that you would make time for her even though you weren't a fan of who or what she are. 

Your eyes are too glued at her action, wishing that you were a condiment to notice an amused glint in her eyes.  Surely enough, a fake coughed broke off your trance, you looked at her in the eyes, her eyebrow is raised, waiting for an answer. 

You realized that she was serious about the question, "Yup, you're amazing..." it sounded more of a question than an answer, she seems not satisfied as she still continues to raise her eyebrow. "You're truly amazing" you gave her an awkward thumbs up and a smile that looks far from natural. 

She hummed and continued to make a sandwich while tilting her head with a smug grin. You stand there dumbfounded, watching her deft fingers as she put a cheese, (if you're allergic to cheese or you just hate it. Re-placed it.) remembering the action that occurred not a while ago, when she slips her fingers into her mout- woah, calm the fuck down. You slapped your face for a good measure before continuing your routine. 

You were about to open the door, suddenly "Buy me something, something that shows ownership" Pieck said.

You raised your eyebrows, "And why would I-", 

"Something that shouts you are mine and I am yours" 

"Like I said why-", Pieck crossed her arms and stares right into your eyes, you were unable to speak nor to move. You are completely mesmerized for some reason. You broke the gaze by blinking once, twice, or more. 

"F-Fine, geez" you internally slap yourself for stuttering. You glance at Pieck's hand, she's holding a sandwich which is inside a container. 

"Take it or leave it" Pieck places down the food and saunters toward the bedroom. You slowly smiled at yourself as you take Pieck's sandwich and head off to work.

While going to work your thoughts wandered, 'Something that shows ownership..'
