Scouting Legion High School [ An Attack on Titan Modern High School!AU ]

Causing Pain

"Bingo," Jean stated with maximum amounts of apathy.

"We're playing Go Fish," Marco informed him.

"Bingo isn't even a card game," Armin said.

Jean scoffed. "Well neither are you-"

The door was violently kicked down. Everyone's attention adverts to the short, petite, blond girl who stood at the doorframe with fists curled at her sides.

"Where," she growled. "Is. Ymir?"

"We have no clue," Marco replied. Christa began to march over to their table.

Once again, Marco spoke up. "But if you want to join us for go fish, we would gladly play with another person-"

Christa grabbed the deck of cards and crumbled it before throwing the folded pieces of paper into the air, making it rain dented cards.

"Oh, okay," Marco said quietly in response.

Christa screeched as she stomped out the empty doorframe, shoving some innocent passerby aside and into a locker because he was within a four-feet radius of her.

"Poor Erwin," Marco sighed.

"How was she able to push a 6-foot man with such force?" Armin asked.

"She stronger than you," Jean laughed.

"Hey-" Armin snapped back, preparing himself to be offended. However, he stopped mid-thought and re-evaluated the situation. "Yeah, never mind, that's fair."

✎soon after✐

"I bet I can beat you in a game," Levi challenged Gunther.

"Ho, don't do it!" Erd warned him, but he didn't listen.

"Bring it," Gunther smirked.

"Gunther! Knowing Levi, this is probably going to inflict pain," Petra stated.

"What is the game?" Gunther asked.

"Let me show you," Levi replied. He held out his left hand as if he was offering to shake hands. "Make you left hand flat and palm facing mine."

So now, they were facing each other with the back of their hands facing out. Then, without warning, Levi geared his arm back and slapped the back of Gunther's hand as hard as he could.

"What the fuck!" Gunther cried as he drew back his hand and held it close to him.

"You lose," Levi stated. "The person who moves their hand back or quits first loses. Want to try again?"

"Gunther," Petra said, raising her voice.

"Oh, hell yeah!" Gunther put his hand against Levi's once again.

"I give up," Petra sighed as she crossed her arms.

"I gave up on smacking sense into him a long time ago," Erd replied.

Petra glared at Erd.

"Pun very much intended," Erd stated.

This time, Gunther started. Even though he slapped Levi's hand pretty hard, he did not flinch. Levi slapped his hand a second afterwards, making him wince as he tried not to move his hand away. This continued until...

"Have any of you motherfuckers seen Ymir?" Christa bellowed.

"Nope, sorry," Petra answered as the two continued their game.

Christa groaned loudly. Then, out of frustration, she swung her leg directly at Gunther's shins. The boy toppled to the ground, holding his shin in pain.

Levi sighed. "I wanted to be the one who inflicted maximum amounts of pain on you."

Gunther glanced up at Levi from his fetal position on the floor. "Thank you?"

✎a little later✐

"Ymir!" Christa bellowed.

Ymir flinched before she turned around to face the short, angry blond. "Yes, Christa?"

"Why!" Christa shouted. "Would you ever... In a thousand, million years!"

"I don't think a thousand million is a real number," Ymir stated.

"Shut up!" Christa snapped back, making Ymir coward against the lockers. "Why! Would you give me a creased picture of this blob fish that is more embarrassing than Nile Dawk's first day of school this year!"

"It was one day!" Nile cried out as he walked by. "Why can you people forget?"

"Have you tried turning over the paper?" Ymir uttered.

"Wha-" Christa squeaked as she flipped the ugly picture over. On the back was writing that said. "Swimming in my own sadness if you don't find me soon. Follow the rose petals!"

"Rose petals?" Christa asked. "I don't remember seeing any rose petals."

"But," Ymir gestured to the messy trail of pink and red petals on her right. She sighed. "I dressed up in a suit for nothing."

"Well that's a bit awkward of me. I hurt two adolescent males in order to find you," Christa giggled.

Ymir laughed along and swung her arm around Christa's shoulders. "Yeah, that's my girl! Keep causing people pain." Ymir laughed heartily for a few seconds before sighing. "It brings me joy."

"Me, too!" Christa smiled. "I just wandered why I didn't see the rose petals..."

✎earlier✐

"Ooh, free rose petals!" Hanji exclaimed as she picked up some stray rose petals that were laying on the ground. "I can use these to extract the color from each petal and see if I can permanently dye Levi's stuff."

And with that, the mad scientist marched off to do some crazy experiment which will probably get her killed.
