CHAPTER 21
— sister

before the breach in wall rose which you found to be false, you received more and more letters detailing who your birth family was. you had a mother who loved you very much and who served her body to your unnamed stepfather. there were no details regarding your real father, but that wasn't important to you—you already had a dad. then, one letter in particular explained how your life came to be and that you were a replacement for a "higher" child, your sister.

DEAR (Y/N),
your mother loved you very much. she wouldn't let go and refused to leave her ex-husband.

was it so wrong of us to pry her hands off you? to hurt her like that? what's it matter now? it happened many years ago.

after we took her away from you and gave her another child, she wasn't happy.

all the love we thought would go
to her never happened. it seemed like she held a grudge towards her newborn daughter.

every other day she'd ask for you, ask
to see you but we couldn't let that happen.
till next time, (y/n)

a few days later you received another letter. skimming through it, your eyes quickly reading over the words, but they paused at that sentence.

the name of your sister is historia.

so here you were, a top wall rose with the other soldiers who were desperately trying to get away from the battlefield. you sat alone, consumed by your thoughts and the found news that christa, who had been by your side for the past three years, was actually your step-sister.

do you tell anyone? should you tell her—does she already know? what do you do?

"hey (y/n), why you sitting over here all emo?" jean spotted you sitting by yourself long go and he had a good idea why. he assumed that the thought of ymir revealing her titan form and being forced away into imprisonment reminded you of the situation with annie—but the true reason was far from this. "when i see you alone like this i see the resemblance between you and captain levi."

"what the hell is that supposed to mean? horse face." it was extremely rare whenever you'd use the nickname eren and the others gave to him, but at the moment it was necessary. he laughed and took a seat on the floor next to you, "i'm serious (y/n), what's wrong? i didn't like that look on your face when we got here earlier? you know you can talk to me."

the two of you began to talk and eren noticed this. it drove him crazy how close you had gotten and he hates to admit it, but eren was feeling extremely jealous seeing you stick by jeans side. eren wasn't a complete idiot and knew that you were ignoring him, but since the battle 30 minutes ago, he figured things would go back to normal and you'd hang around him again.

yet there you were, spending your time with the horse face "idiot."

was it so selfish of him to want to keep you all to himself?

"eren, if you have such a problem with their friendship why don't you just go and interrupt them? jean does it when you're with (y/n) all the time so it's just fair game." armin said.

truth be told, armin was beyond exhausted of all of eren's complaining during the time where you weren't on speaking terms. he constantly had armin go take little peaks at you when you were training or eating and then report back to him. it was insane and when he started refusing to go and watch you be human, eren got upset and claimed armin didn't care about him which wasn't true at all. even mikasa was getting tired of his constant nagging which says a lot!

"because i don't want her to think i'm jealous—duh armin."

mikasa and armin glanced at each other, signaling he can't be serious right now. especially after everything they had to put up with for him just so he can receive updates about your life.

"eren, if you don't go and talk to her then i might start rooting for jean and (y/n)."

"armin what the fuck?! rooting for them?" the blonde boy silently nodded while maintaining a serious expression.

the two of you had an unspoken relationship since the early cadet days and people assumed something would build from it, but nothing ever happened. now that jean was in the picture it was clear that he had a goal to reach with you and wouldn't stop just because eren was there. people started switching sides. it was very teenage drama of them.

"fuck fine—i'm sure you're just gonna say the same thing mikasa."

just as the other boy, she nodded. "i think (y/n) and jean would look cute together—don't worry, you can do this eren." she said jokingly knowing very well she would always support eren.

and just as eren was going to walk away and towards your direction, reiner and bertholdt asked to speak with him while everyone else was finally preparing to leave the wall. mikasa and armin took this as a sign to leave as well—hoping eren would catch up later. still, mikasa stayed close.

"hey guys what's up—"

"i am the armored titan and bertholdt is the colosal titan."

eren couldn't help but awkwardly laugh. who would lie about such a thing? "cmon guys, stop playing jokes—we gotta go."

reiner removed the piece of cloth holding his arm and that's when he saw the steam being released from his arm, indicating that his titan powers were healing any injury reiner sustained.

"reiner what—?"

"are we doing it?! now?! right here?!"

"yeah, we settle this right here—right now!"

mikasa was quick to protect eren, slightly jumping in the air as she attempted to kill both boys in one go, but her efforts failed.

soon enough they transformed, sending everyone away from the wall and the heat being released could almost burn your skin right off the bone, but you couldn't feel it, why?

jean used his body to shield you from the harsh heat and intense wind. he was ready to sacrifice his own body just to keep you safe. when it had finally calmed down, he opened his eyes to look and make sure you were okay, instinctively you grabbed onto his arm.

"shit (y/n)—are you okay? what the fuck was that?!"

"yeah i'm okay, but i think someone else here is a titan."
