"Y/n, you can't just openly say that out here."
"What, killing? It's not like you haven't done it before."
"I know that, and so have you."

Eren woke up to your head laying on the bed.
He sat up, careful not to move around too much to wake you. He brushed your hair strands out of your face, fingers softly stroking your cheek like feathers. Only one thought present in his mind: How is she always so beautiful?
No matter what the hell you did or say, crazy or not crazy, he could never rip his eyes off of you. And deep down, he probably knew what that meant. How he truly felt.
When the others would tease him about you, he'd play dumb, and to some extent he probably was, but he knew he was fooling no one except himself. But when people would tease you about him, you were much more defensive than he was. Which made him unsure if you were also playing dumb or you just genuinely didn't see him in any way beyond a friend. Keeping quiet was simple enough. Having you as his best friend was more than he could ask for. There was no need to be too selfish.
"Are you ever going to confess to her?"
Eren jumped a little, nearly forgetting that Mikasa was also in the room. But his hand never left your face. "Is it that obvious?"
"Obvious? When people look at the two of you, they immediately assume you've been dating for five years or something. And you wonder if it's 'obvious.' Goodness."
"I mean is it obvious to her?"
"Believe me, it can be much, much more obvious." Because she's denser than a rock, she thought.
"But I don't want to ruin anything between us."
"Eren, you won't."
"But what if I do? I mean, I don't even know how she feels."
Mikasa grumbled under her breath and rested her head back against the wall. "Stop complicating it. Suck it up and tell her. Then after that, remember to thank Armin and me. That's all."
The door slammed open and you jolted up, bonking your head with Eren's. "Ow!" "Fuck!"
"Eren! Mikasa! Y/n!" Armin was at the door. "Wall Rose has been breached!"
Mikasa was up on her feet in an instant.
"What?!" Eren got off the bed.
You rubbed your eyes. "Can't we get a day of peace? Maybe even half a day?"

"Sorry to keep you guys waiting," said Hange, walking over with Levi and another man behind her. "Took a bit longer to prepare." It was night, and the L/n Quartet had already been waiting in the cart.
"Who's this guy?" you asked. Maybe you were just imagining it, but there was a brief glint of recognition in his eyes. And a hitched breath.
"He's a priest from the Order of the Walls, I think," said Armin. He sat on the other side of Eren. You sat in-between him and Mikasa.
