The next day

// Y/n's PoV //

Today we're practicing on Titan dummies. Basically we put our balance training to use, learning the ropes (quite literally), swinging through the trees and slicing dummy napes. It wasn't especially challenging, not for me anyway. If anything it was... Exhilarating. Exciting. Fun. The most fun I've had since I got here. Feeling the wind blowing through my hair, across my face. I just felt so free. Like I was flying. Of course something had to ruin it though..

"Y/n, look out!! AAAaH-" From around a tree, none other than Eren Jaeger, came barreling out from behind it. He was rapidly squeezing the triggers on his gear, but all for naught. He let out a wail as he collided with me, cutting his scream short. 

The pair of flailing arms and legs started to fall and that's when it got serious. I flipped myself so I was over Eren, his holler echoing in my ears. It felt like we were falling forever, so I made use of this "forever" and grabbed eren by his waist and pulled him nearer to me for some leverage. My arm burned with the effort, but I kept my hold, gritting my teeth. 'Jeez, how much does this kid weigh?' with my other hand, I pulled the trigger on my Omnidirectional Maneuver Gear. The anchor shot out, gripping onto a tree, halting our fall abruptly. I looked down at Eren whom I was still holding. I was now standing on the ground, Eren between my ribs and my arm, still roaring with fear. I sighed and released him from my arm, letting him drop down to the ground less than two feet away, knocking the breath out of him. 'At least he isn't screaming anymore..

"AAAAAAAHHHH- Oof!" I smiled at him, offering my hand to help him up. Eren took it gratefully, but didn't let go, instead used it to help himself up, then hug me. I'll admit, I was shocked at first, but then I felt holes burning into the back of my skull. 'OH SHIT MIKASA'S GONNA FUCKING KILL ME-' Quickly I shove him away and back onto the ground, a slight frown bedecking his face. "It's not what it seems Eren, I'm sorry, just don't need your crazy girlfriend slashing me with her newly found swordsman ship." He looked confused but smiled a little at that as I helped him up again. This time he kept his distance while he thanked me for saving both of our lives. 

As I brushed the imaginary dust off my clothing I turned to see Jean, scowling at me. I shrugged it off as Jean being an arrogant ass in a new way, and continued with my business,  grappling myself up again.
