An Ackerman's secret

27

It was the night before the expedition and although nerves were nearly at their peaks, we all were having a fun time while we still could.

We had been told that we were being treated to a feast, but no one knew what that meant until it was placed in front of us.

"Eh? Meat?" Connie had his eyes wide. "What? Is this... meat?"

I could feel my stomach growing hungry at the sight of it. Meat was so precious to all of us since we rarely got the chance to eat it.

Sasha raised her hands to her head in disbelief and I knew she was the most excited. "Am I dreaming?" Her mouth hung open.

We all sat in silence, admiring the food.

"Tonight's the night before we retake wall maria!" Someone began a speech, but before they could even finish, everyone jumped to grab their portions.

Let the chaos begin.

Sasha was the first on our table to jump up and grab the meat. Me, Connie and Jean all looked at each other, knowing what we had to do. She raised the meat to her mouth, but before she could take a bite, I grabbed onto it, pulling it back while Connie held onto her.

Jean did his best to help me, but I did most of the work. "Don't you start pulling that shit, potato girl!" He yelled. "What the hell do you think you're doing?!"

I tried my best not to laugh because it weakened my grip, but it was impossible. "Sasha you're turning into a titan!" I pissed myself at the sight of her.

Connie was being dramatic like always. "Cut it out, Sasha! I.. I don't wanna have to kill you!"

Now I was laughing even harder. We finally ripped the meat away from her, but it wasn't over. Sasha managed to bite down on Jean's hand, making him scream.

"You're eating me! Eating me! Eating me!!!"

"Sasha that meat is Jean! Have you lost your mind!?!"

I fell to the floor, my knees weak and my stomach in pain. Eren stood next to me, bent over as he was in the same state.

I looked up once I slightly recovered to see Sasha had punched Marlo in the face which sent me into fits again. Eren kept nudging me for my help, but I was useless at this point. Mikasa was watching with a big smile on her face, trying to keep her composure.

After a few minutes, with no thanks to me, they managed to tie Sasha up and we were all able to finally sit down and enjoy our food.

Once I had a few nibbles, I took a slice and crouched down next to Sasha who was slowly waking up again. She shot up at the sight of the meat, but her mouth was covered.

"Be nice." I warned her as I removed the cloth. She nodded patiently, knowing not to mess with me.

I held out the meat and she quickly snatched it. "What do you say?" I teased.

With a mouth full of meat, she let out a thank you before continuing to chew it. I smiled and reached my hands out to squeeze her cheeks, making her frown.

Behind me, commotion broke out. Eren and Jean were gripping onto each others shirts, arguing as always. I stood up and backed away from Sasha while she happily ate.

"But seriously.." It seemed to calm down a bit as Jean spoke. "If you didn't have titan powers, you'd be dead ten times over. And every time, Mikasa would swoop in to save your ass."

I looked over at Mikasa who had eyes filled with emotion.

"If you insist on being suicidal.." He pushed Eren away as others began to cheer. "I'll just have to kill you!" Jean landed a punch to Eren's stomach and I realised I was very wrong about it calming down.
