(Y/n) sat by a tree listening to the strangers as she sewed. That was all she could do, after her mother left her father, (y/n) HAD to fix her own clothes. Its was a rule in her opinion. "Look at those kids, smiling, all happy looking." She grunts under her breath. Slowly looking up, she saw a pair of boys laughing, staring straight at her. "You're such a poor girl, where's your mommy?" They teased.
(Y/n) lowered her head, purposely letting her (dark/bright) (h/c) hair cover her face as she cried. After a while, the boys left, leaving (y/n) with a tear stained face.

"Hey, you okay?" A boy walked up to the (h/c) haired girl with a confused look. (Y/n) raised the silver needle as if she held a knife.
The boy didn't seem scared like the rest. Instead he sat by her side. "I'm Eren and that's Mikasa, my sister." He greeted pointing behind himself.
Leaning forward, Eren watched as (Y/n) continued to sew the rip on her dress with a bored expression on her face.
From time to time she glanced at him, not wanting him to start a conversation, but he did. "I never got your name."
She places the needle down and looks into his eyes. "(Y/n), that's my name." Her voice cracked at the end. Eren smiled, though it didn't stay for long.
"Were you crying?" The playfulness in his voice disappeared when he stared into her (e/c) eyes. (Y/n) looked away, she knew he was going to ask one way or another. "Yeah." She sighed out. Her small fingers clutching the bottom part of the dress. Eren looked at Mikasa for help with the chat but she shrugs and motions him to get up.
Eren did as he was told, but held out his hand toward his new friend. She looks up and grabs his hand gently. "What are you doing?" She asked as she was being pulled up. Mikasa lowered her red scarf and spoke for once, "We're taking you for a walk, if it's alright with you."

Later that day, (y/n) broke the wall of fear she had for others just by having her very first friend. Every once in a while she had that moment where she would be herself.
When (y/n) saw her house and frowned a little. "(Y/n). Can you do something for me?" He grabbed her by the wrist, stopping her from walking any further.
"Yeah?"
Eren smiled tightening his grip a little. He leaned in and gave her a peck on the cheek, surprising the two girls. "I want you to smile more often. Can you do that for me?" (Y/n) nodded waving bye to her new friends. "See you tomorrow! I had a nice day!" She shouts out. When Mikasa no longer saw (Y/n), she smiles a little, "She seems right for you Eren, but what are you going to do when you go to the military?"
"Become her soldier and protect her," Mikasa blinked twice when she saw a small sparkle in his eyes. "and that's promise I can always keep."

It maybe kind of confusing and rushed but I tried at least...I know I suck, don't remind me.
