Cʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ 𝟸

Episode One

A year had passed since Armin finally introduced Mikasa and Eren.

Now their parents come to the bakery often. So often Y/n had their orders memorized: Two cookies and one brownie.

Y/n would usually yell this to her father whenever they entered the bakery, who shouted back "Mr and Mrs Jeager again?"

Which always incited a rare smile from Mr. Jeager, while Carla would come up with various ways to compliment Y/n's exotic beauty.

Causing Eren to say something snide, feeling slightly embarrassed, earning him two pinched cheeks and a glare from Mikasa.

Now. Y/n walked down the jagged and bumpy road of Shiganshina kicking a few rocks with a pout, since she sent to grab flour from a nearby merchant with a soft spot for children. Not strictly honest, but Felix wanted to save as much money as possible.

Y/n held the flour close to her chest, subconsciously watching where she stepped, knowing the ground had a habit of random stones sticking from unexpected places, which she tripped over on various occasions.

When she suddenly heard someone distantly call her name, she looked around but didn't see anyone whom she recognized, deciding to chalk it up to someone else having the same name as her.

Until she heard it again, this time, Y/n turned around, squinting her eyes, seeing both Eren, who held an excited smile, and Mikasa, who followed shortly behind Eren, her eyes moving left to right.

This caused Y/n to smile, walking to meet them halfway. "Hey guys!"

"Hey-" Eren's gaze drew towards the flour, which Y/n carefully held, then back up towards her face. "Who was it this time? Mrs or Mr. Alden?"

Y/n frowned, hiking the bag of flour up her chest since it was slightly too heavy for a ten-year-old. "Both- they said something about needing more flour after the renovations are done, since they raised enough money."

"What kind? Of renovations.." Mikasa asked in a tone slightly above her usual one

"I think something with the roof and... new furniture?" By now, all three of them walked side by side, unsure who they were following.

"That's nice.." she returned to her quiet default, though Y/n already knew Mikasa was interested in decorating since she had helped Y/n figure out where certain sweets should go on the display and how to angle the tables.

Then, on her birthday, y/n managed to find an architectural and interior designing book in her family's collection, which she gifted to Mikasa who read over it with Y/n multiple times. Even attempting to make a few items with a block of wood Mr. Jeager had given them
