Turquoise {Shingeki no Kyojin}

III. Envy

I love how some of my readers on dA finally noticed that this story I wasn't going for a yandere reader this time XD 

I have no name for Reader's friend. So she remains "your friend" unless someone can think of a better name for me ;-; Let's just say She to Reader is like Mikasa to Eren. 

"[Name]!" You felt the plush material of a pillow whacked across your face.

"No…" You whimpered, clutching onto your own pillow. "I want sleep, go away." You murmured while turning, still very much asleep. You frowned, with eyebrows creased, when you had been kicked in the stomach. You opened your eyes reluctantly to find your friend with her foot resting on your body. And she didn’t look too amused. "…" You gazed upwards at her for a few moments. "Why am I on the ground…?" You brought your upper body up, rubbing your eyes and yawning. You adjusted your position and then extended your arms to stretch, since sleeping on a wooden floor wasn't exactly the most comfortable thing.

She shrugged, then scoffed. "Don't ask me. You probably rolled off your bed, hugging that pillow. You're lucky your bed is lowly elevated, otherwise you would’ve gave yourself a concussion." She had a malicious grin plastered across her face.

"What?" You questioned, with a raised brow and folded arms.

"You were thinking about Jaeger, weren't you?"

You choked and coughed. "For the last time, I have nothing to do with him!" You brought your hand to your face, in case you had been blushing [which you were].

"Liar." You were wacked on the head. Confused, you glared up at her with a somewhat annoyed look. She held out a small and shiny trinket, and it took you a few moments to realize that it was what you were looking for last night, which had also caused that encounter with Eren.

"H-How did you…" You held out your hands in a cup shape as she set it into your palms.

She smiled and ruffled your hair a bit. "I took it during dinner when I was leaving early, since I knew how much it meant to you. I was going to put it away for you. And knowing you, I you probably didn't hear me when I said I was going to take it back for you. So, you were probably looking for it outside." She scoffed, her cheeks tinted a light pink. "And when I went to go look for you, seeing you all over that boy was totally unexpected.

Your face heated up. "No! No, no, no, no! It's not what you think! That was nothing!" You squeezed your eyes shut and began clutching onto your pillow again. "He just… needed a little help."

She blinked a few times, before chuckling lightly. "You know, you overslept today."

Your eyes popped open."Then why am I wasting time talking to you?!"  You stood up abrubtly, as you scrambled to get changed.

"You know, your boyfriend is abou-"

You interrupted her. "He isn't my- Wait, what!?” You buckled all belts, and shrugged on the uniform jacket.

"His evaluation is about to start.~" She laughed. You glared at her, in response to her laugh, as you struggled to slide on the bottom of the uniform. You quickly shoved your feet into the knee-length leather boots, and exited the barracks, followed by your friend.

"Wait, [Name]." As you spun to face her, she pulled out your hand and placed your bracelet in it. "Honestly… You need to start being more responsible." She chuckled. "I bet you're excited to see Ere-"

"No, no, no, no, no~!" You said it so many times, it began to turn into a song, almost. She sighed and followed right behind you. You had noticed immediately that today was extra warm, the sun shining and already, a line of sweat had formed around your forehead. That was wiped straight away.
