(Tayden POV)
I wake up to Eren screaming at me to get up "Get your lazy ass out of bed now!" Jeez, he needs to calm down. "Fuck off you annoying cunt." I say back to him. "Just get up already we have to go and get the firewood!" Eren explains. Really? We? "What do you mean we?" I start, in an annoyed tone " 'We' suggests that we both go and get the firewood and work equally as hard to get it.." I continue, words dripping with malice. "Is that what you think happens.. Well, Is it?" Regret was evident on Eren's face now. "Because I will tell you what really happens.." I spotted Eren's foot turn to face the door. A sign of discomfort. "We walk to forest. You chop a few pieces of wood. You then decide you have done enough and go take a nap. Leaving me to do the rest. I then have to give you half of mine to make it look like you helped. We then take twice the amount of time we should take getting back because you need to keep stopping for breaks." Turning to face the door now Eren mutters, face red with embarrassment "I-I'm just going to go now, just be ready in about ten minutes." Then without saying anything else, he bolts out the door. Hearing him mutter the words "remind me to never be the one to wake him up again" miserably. Sighing in amusement, I go and get ready.

After getting changed. (Btw this is the outfit he will wear the most because I love it so much)

After I change, I head downstairs to the kitchen. I pass Mikasa sitting down at the table enjoying her food with Eren by her side. "Morning Tayden" she greets. I nod in her direction. "Tayden come and get your breakfast!" Erens mother calls. Shit. For those of you who don't know, I don't really like food. And no its not because of some insecurity, its because I don't have taste buds. It just makes me feel bad eating food that someone else could enjoy, because I sure don't enjoy it. I don't hate it and I will do it when necessary but otherwise I tend to avoid it. "Could you give it to Mikasa or something, i'm not very hungry." She frowns. "Okay dear"

I am going to skip them chopping wood because that is boring

After we had finished chopping the wood we started our journey back. I say we, but it was me that was chopping the wood, Eren just took a nap under a tree. Now that I think about it, I think he was crying. Huh? How odd. "Hanns!" Eren shouted, hurrying excitedly over towards him. I followed after him slowly. "Augh! Hanns what's that smell!? Have you been drinking?" Eren asks incredulously. "Yup! Keeps us all in our courage during guard duty" Hanns responds happily. Eren growls, "How do you expect to fight if you are so loose on your feet?!" Eren exclaims. Hanns looks taken aback, "Now why an earth would I have to fight?" He asks confused. "Why do you think?! What if they break through the walls! We'd be sitting ducks on your watch!" He shouts in a frenzy. "Eren, kid, please, use your inside voice." Hanns pleads. One of the other drunken guards stands up and walks over, interjecting into the conversation, "The doc's kid has some fire in him." He says chuckling. "Listen, the only thing they have done to the walls in the past hundred years is scratch at it, I have a feeling if they can get their heads to do something else we will be ready for him." He says confidently. "A feeling?!" Eren exclaims again. "What have any of you actually done to be ready for them? Dad says you gotta stay sharp!" Hanns just sighs "Aah, good Dr Jeager." Hanns goes on a little monologue about how dr Jeager was only good with medical stuff and that what they were doing wasn't nearly as important as that. Eren sounds confused, "Wait a minute, it sounds to me like you don't even think they are that dangerous." Hanns just shrugs, "Eh." Eren gasps. I tune out of the conversation, I am really not at all interested in what they have to say. I tune back in just as Eren is calling everyone livestock. How lovely. The other men just start laughing, "You were right about the kid having fire." One of them says. "Now are you going to continue with the game or not?" The other says. I just grab Eren's arm and drag him away from the conversation.
