Don't Touch Me {Ereri/Riren}

Chapter 2- fly back, bitch

I didn't see the Corporal again until the next afternoon. The day after the incident, I had planned to confront him, to apologize, but when I arrived for training, he wasn't there. In fact, he wasn't at lunch or dinner either. I took my food back to the table and sat next to Marco, directly across from Armin.

"Have you seen the Corporal today?"

Armin took a bite of his sandwich and shook his head. "Not since yesterday at lunch. Speaking of the Corporal," Armin, I swear on the walls, smirked. "what happened yesterday? I'm assuming you touched them, based on his absence today. What did they feel like? How did he react? Did you see where they connect to his back?"

By the time Armin finished babbling, the entire table had crowded closer in interest. I scrabbled for a subject change. I really didn't want to talk about this in front of everyone.

"Armin, man, do you need to go to the bathroom?"

The blond boy cocked his head in confusion.

"'Cause you've got a major science boner right now."

The whole table laughed and soon forgot about the dare. Well, everyone except for Jean, obviously.

"Yo, Jaeger," That asshole. "we haven't heard anything about the dare. Does that mean you failed?" Jean looked at me looking smug as ever, and my mouth opened before my brain caught up.

"You know what, horse face, I did touch them. And fuck me if I didn't enjoy it either." I stood up and looked him face to face, my voice lowering so only he could hear. "And something else? He liked it, too."

Jean's eye twitched. "Those things actually felt nice? Got a new fetish, huh?"

He flinched as my hand flew up and grabbed his collar, pulling him closer.

"Don't you dare talk about the Corporal's wings like that!" I growled. I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned, ready to shove it off when my eyes met sharp grey ones.

My hands quickly unclasped from Jean's collar and the horse stepped back, his eyes still wide from my outburst, and maybe added to the fact that the Corporal had been standing right behind me.

"Jaeger. Come with me." His face was startlingly blank, but his eyes gave him away. They were curious, searching my face, but before I could figure out why, he turned away, his wings twitching. That had to be a bad sign, they only ever did that when he was particularly mad. I took a deep breath and followed.

Hey guys! First off, I want to thank you for reading, of course! I have no idea where this story is going, honestly, as I only have the next chapter or two mapped out. It's probably going to be fairly short, but who knows? XD Please don't forget to vote and commenting is always appreciated!
