The Angel on the Battle Field (AOT fanfic)

The day the world stops spinning

A few hours later, the cadets were spread out across the walls cleaning the cannons. Tonight they would choose After an emotionally draining reunion with Levi and Hanji I bid them farewell on their newest expedition and race up to the Wall Rose cannons for cleaning duties.

I smile and wave at my peers before assisting Connie and Marco in cleaning a set of cannons. After a few minutes Eren swaggers over, leaning against the cannon curiously, "so Kaminari, I was wondering where you went after running off earlier. We looked all over for you and couldn't find you anywhere."

Out the corner of my eyes I see Connie and Marco's hands slow in cleaning the cannon to listen in on myself and Eren's conversation.

I finish wiping off a spot of dirt (because I'm a little OCD due to Levi's OCD with cleaning), then wipe my brow a as a slight scowl makes it's way to my face. "You know it's rude to stick your nose into other people's business, but if you must know I met up with an old friend. Now buzz off!" I glower in distaste at the nosey brunette.

Eren's green orbs widen in fright, waving his hands defensively, "okay, okay! I'm sorry , I didn't mean to pry. Shesh! There's no need to give me that look."

My distasteful look softens slightly into a look of amusement but I don't reply and focus on cleaning the cannons.

As Kaminari's eyes once again become focused on the cannon, the surrounding cadets visibly relax.

It was an unspoken rule amongst cadets not to anger the stunning blonde, no matter how innocent and delicate she appears to be and for some reason that they cannot fathom, they have the utmost respect for the seemingly wise and experienced girl.

She was like a mystery that they all desperately tried to solve, but not even her closest friends truthfully knew anything more than her first name.

She was often referred to as 'the Pandora's box of cadets' because whenever their curiosity peaked and they asked a question about her past, the aura around her shifted into one radiating danger with a large amount of killer intent becoming noticeable.

Then she would either remain mute or act horribly cold towards them until Armin appears, reminding them that curiosity is the trait in humans that can most easily be, and is most often, their downfall. Hence the saying, 'curiosity killed the cat.'

She was dangerous and they all knew it, but the full extent to her vast knowledge and strength was unknown and that was what unsettled them the most.

The cadets try hide the curiosity bubbling within them and attempt to focus on the task ahead of them.

The 'Suicidal bastard', AKA Eren suddenly tunes back into the conversation at hand, "What the hell do you mean, you're joining the Scout Brigade? You were so set on the Military Police!" he asks Connie in astonishment.

Thomas Wagner approaches the cannon that Connie, Kaminari and Marco were cleaning, "Huh?! You're joining the Scouts?!" he asks making Connie become irritated "Yeah, I am!"

Marco warily watches as Kaminari's hands clench into fist at Connie's admittance.

Thomas sends Eren a cheeky smile "Sounds like your speech yesterday won him over!" Connie hides his embarrassed face from view. "M-Mind your own business! I decided it on my own!" Thomas laughs at the boy's expense "Don't be so embarrassed. You're not the only one."
