Waking up in AoT

Chapter 44

"Ship?" He asked, obviously confused.

"Yeah, like who do you think should be in a relationship together?"

"Um... Like Mikasa and Armin?"

"No. Like... Erwin and Mike or Sasha and Connie."

"Ooooh. I think I 'ship' Jean and Marco. Marco came out to all of us about a year ago and Jean is clearly gay for him."

"Yeah, that's what I'm talking about! Anyone else?"

"Well, Sasha and Connie would be cute together. And maybe Ymir and Krista! Wait. Who am I shipped with in your world?"

Oh no. "Literally everyone," I respond."

"Seriously?" He asked, clearly intrigued. "Which ones are the most popular?"

"You with Levi or Mikasa are the most popular two, but I kinda also ship you with Jean or Armin."

"Me and Jean?! He exclaimed. "What kind of crazy world do you come from?!"

"Oh, and you and Erwin or you and Hanji or Krista, or-"

"Oh yeah? Well I ship you with Levi!"

I went silent. A bright pink stained my cheeks.

"You what?"

"I'm sorry, please don't kick me again!" He cowered.

"F-fine. Just don't say anything like that again."

"Why? Is it because you love him-"

"Shut up, Jeager," I said, covering his mouth.

"Anyways, I had a question for you, Eren. How would I get Jean and Marco to join the Scout Regiment?"

"Easy," he replied. "Expose the Military Police to Marco, then he'll want to join somewhere he can make a difference and Jean will follow."

Of course! "Thank you, Eren!! Now, I've got a job to do."

I got up and speed-walked my way up the stairs and out of the dungeon, leaving Eren all alone.

If you listened closely, you could hear a squeaky little whisper from the basement:

"What about meeeee?"
