:four:

"y/n!" sasha yelled as soon as i stepped into the dining hall. "come sit with us!"

i walked over to them, passing by the table that all the higher ranks were sitting at. as you passed them, you heard someone call you.

"you not eating y/n?" erwin asked.

"no. they didn't exactly expect my arrival so soon, so i gotta wait til the next shipment gets here. i have a brownie through so i'm cooling." i replied.

was the brownie laced? yes.

did they need to know? absolutely not.

"where the hell you get that from?" hange asked.

"kora made them. i just didn't eat all of it so i put it in my bag the day i was arrested." i lied.

"you sure? i don't want you going hungry kid." erwin said.

"i've gone a lot longer without food. i'm chill. can i go sit now?" i softly smiled at them (except the witch).

they all just nodded and let me walk away. i walked over to the main table. all the other cadets were scattered around.

"y'all, this is y/n." sasha introduced. i sat next to jean and he smiled at me. i will literally jump your bones if you don't stop playing wimmie you thought in your head. "y/n. this is mikasa, eren, ymir, and historia."

"fuck going on." i acknowledged them.

"is it true you beat up 13 soilders?" eren asked. his hair was in a bun and his green eyes were staring into mine.

"beat up is a weird way to put it but essentially yeah." i laughed. "why?"

"why! i've never seen anything like that!" he exclaimed. "you're like badass."

"thanks?" i smiled. "you're the titan shifter right?"

"in the flesh." he smirked, causing jean to scoff. "so you've heard of me."

"yeah. you gotta show me that sometime." i said. "i wanna see it."

"i can show you the next training i have with hanji." he smiled. the entire table froze. since when was eren this friendly?we kept talking but i could feel eyes burning into me.

i looked to my right and next to eren, was mikasa staring dead at me. "hi. i'm y/n." i introduced myself. she didn't say anything and she looked down. "okay?"

"so, why are you here?" ymir asked. "seems a little late for new recruits."

"i was sent here on court orders." i said. "it was either this, or 20 years behind bars."

"wait. did you say 20 years?" jean asked. i nodded my head.

i pulled out my brownie and started eating it. sasha moved over near me and smelled it, before gasping. "where'd you get that."

"my house." i said, taking a large bite. she laughed before whispering in connie's ear.

"y/n. you're bold as fuck." connie laughed.

"what is it?" armin asked.

"an edible." sasha laughed. jean looked at me and shook his head, a smile evident on his face. "you haven't been here 24 hours yet and you're already a menace."

"what did you expect, she's a criminal." mikasa grunted.

"that you could say." i looked at her. "i don't regret anything. i can't explain it to you now, but maybe one day you'll see i'm not that bad."

"i think you're hot." eren said. i froze, the last piece of my brownie mid air. sasha and connie started dying laughing, ymir and historia started chocking and mikasa and armin looked at each other. i hid my face in jean's arm, and he patted my hair.

"eren. you can't just say that." historia said.

"it's okay. you just caught me off guard." i brushed it off. "thank you."

"y/n lemme ask you a question." sasha started.

"shoot." i ate the last piece. the high should kick in any minute now.

"why is your skin brown?" she asked. i was going to say something but i could tell by the look on her face, she was genuinely confused. i had to laugh.

"oh okay fuck." i laughed. "i'm black. my skin has more melanin than you." i let out a hearty laugh. i didn't notice it, but the other table tooked at me while laughing. specifically, the captian.

"oh. okay." she smiled. does your hair naturally curl/coil like that?"

"yes." i said. "you can see it under the hood?"

"a little, can i see more?" she asked. i looked around the table and they were all looking at me. eren nodded at me, encouraging me to take it off.

"fuck it." i said, removing my hood and hat. my hair was frizzed because of the hat, but the slick back i had was still prominent. "it looks bad now, wait until i wash and redo it."

they kept asking me questions until a ding went off. connie pulled his phone out of his pocket and that's when i remembered. "can someone teach me how to use this?"

"totally!" sasha said. "me, jean and connie can teach you tonight." i went to thank her, but suddenly the world felt slow. it kicked in.

"teehee, thanks." i giggled. i looked around and saw eren and jean arguing.

"if you're that mad about me being in her room later, take that up with someone who cares." jean yelled.

"shut up, horse face!" eren yelled.

"horse face?" i asked. the whole table started snickering. "they call you that cause yo dick big or something?"

"y/n!" ymir laughed. "bro, lay off the weed."

"too late." i smiled. jean grabbed my chin, looking into my eyes.

"they're red as hell." he quietly laughed at me. "good luck tryna convince commander erwin."

"i-i don't have to." i assured. "i'll just tell him. what's he gonna do, send me to jail?"

"probably." armin added.

"y/n!" hange called. i looked over and they were waving me over. "come talk to us."

"i'm straight, thanks!" i yelled back. they were obviously going to realize i'm high."

"you're so cute! it wasn't a request." i shook my head and stood up. the group laughed as i walked over to their higher-ups.

"hm?" i asked.

"we've arranged for kora to come visit tomorrow. i know you haven't seen each other in some days so she's going to spend the day here."

"thank you." i said. "i appreciate it."

"you're also going to have a physical assessment to evaluate your place. so we can know what we need to work on with you." he continued explaining but all i could hear was woom woom. i started giggling at myself and started swaying. i felt like i was on a cloud. when i was high, i was giggly and happy. which is why i typically do it when i'm angry or sad.

"y/n." erwin called. "look at me." he looked in my eyes. "you're eyes are bloodshot and your face is flushed. are you high?"

"hehe, yeah." i smiled. "it's my c-coping mechanism."

"well find a different one." levi said. "we can't have you intoxicated on the field."

"it doesn't change my performance." i ensured, "ask your commander. i can still kick ass."

"while you are right about that," erwin said, "i agree with captain levi. you can't be high on the job."

"ugh. fine." i pouted, before my face lifted into a smile. "i'll try my best, levi."

"it's captain levi." he said. i could tell he was getting mad. "damn brat."

"sure. captain." i winked. "i will try to limit my drinking and marijuana usage."

"you have alcohol too?" erwin said.

"i said too much, bye! thanks for letting me know about kora and the physical thingie." i walked away.

"that girl." levi said. "i'm going to enjoy breaking her out of this brat phase."
