Having Fun

Lol sorry not sorry for that lil April fools day update. I hope this makes up for it. If you people are getting bored with this just let me know and I'll stop or do whatever lol anyway you didn't come here to talk you came to read

They promised that if Hanji set up 'squad bonding' they would all have to show up for the ODM course and play tag as it was her second favorite thing to do. Experimenting on titans being the first.

-time skip hate me-

    You finally reached the girls' bunks. You went over to your bed and plopped down. You slept for what felt like five minutes before you heard multiple people stampeding into the bunk.

    "[y/n], get up!" you could make out the voice as Sasha's.

    "Huh, what is it?"

    "Armin is going on a stabbing spree and Jean freed all of the horses and is leading a rebellion." you looked away for a minute, only to look back to see Sasha as a potato. You just stared at it.

    -SLAP-

    Your face stung as you woke up.

    "OW! WHY?"

    Sasha was sitting on your stomach smiling down at you.

    "Wake up Sleeping Beauty!" she said cheerfully. "Get your cute little butt out of bed and get ready! Oh and wear something warm." she got up and stepped outside.

    You sat in your bed confused at what just happened. "Umm, okay?" you said to yourself.

You walked over to your dresser while trying to remember what Sasha was wearing. You eventually decided on a grey long sleeve shirt, along with black leggings, your Survey Corps cloak, and uniform boots. You pulled the hood up on you cloak and went to open the door.

    From the bunks you had a clear view of the track and training fields. When you left the bunk you saw a bonfire with everyone around it. You looked up towards the clear sky. The stars and moon shone bright.

    "Pretty cool isn't it?" Sasha said from next to you making you jump.

    She giggled as you two started walking, but taking your time to be able to talk.

    "So what was up with Armin at dinner? You asked her.

    "I'm not really sure but Connie said something about Eren challenging Armin to do something. I'm not sure though."

    "What do you think the challenge is?"

    "That's the part he didn't tell me. He said that we would find out over the weekend or something, but until then to let it stay between them."

    You nodded understandingly as you reached the bonfire. Sasha went to sit with the usual group of girls leaving you to talk to Hanji.

    "Hey [y/n], what took you so long?" Hanji asked.

    "I kind of fell asleep again."

    "I don't blame you. You needed it. We might be playing a few games tonight, but if you fall asleep or don't feel okay with doing something, you get a free pass."

    "Thanks Hanji. This is amazing! How did you set this all up?"

    "Lots of roofies in Levi's tea."

    "WHAT?"

    "I'm kidding." she said with a laugh. "He was fine with it since I said it was for you."

    "Aww, thanks Hanji! You really didn't have to do this you know." you said as you hugged her.

    "Anything to make you happy, Smol Bean." you smiled up at her. "Grab something to eat, drink, take a seat, whatever you like." you smiled at the name she gave you. It wasn't new as when she would beg Maya and Rita to watch you when they were busy, she would call you her little "Smol Child" but "Bean" stuck better now.

    She left to go gather some other things to get ready for the night. You looked for a place to sit. While looking you saw Armin sitting with Reiner, Jean, Bertholdt, and Connie. They were looking at you and at that moment you regret wearing leggings. You looked and saw Sasha was with the rest of the girls. And Eren? You found that weird since he still wasn't with Armin. So you kinda just sat down where you were, only to see Armin to start to get up. On your other side Eren stood up and walked you over to where the girls were.

    "You look really cute in that." he whispered as he led you to where your group of friends were. You buried your face in your cloak out of embarrassment as you sat next to Sasha.

Eren, not taking the hint, sat next to you. To avoid awkwardness you just stared at the fire and sat closer to Sasha. Eren sat on your left, Sasha on your right followed by Mikasa on Eren's left and Krista, and Ymir on Sasha's right.

Directly across from you sat Armin with Reiner, Jean, Bertholdt, and Connie. You looked up from the fire to see Armin sitting with his head down and everybody around him trying to talk to him. It was actually kind of scary to look at.

"Hey, [y/n]?" Mikasa asked, taking your mind off of thinking.

"Yeah?"

"Can you follow me?" she got up as you did. "Alone please." you didn't see Eren getting up behind you.

He stubbornly sat back down and saw that Armin had given him a look. Mikasa walked you over to the food and drinks tables, which were out of earshot of either of the boys.

"Hey, are you okay?" Mikasa asked.

"Yeah, why?" you questioned.

"Look, from what I can tell, Eren is trying to make Armin jealous so he makes a move on you."

"Why would you think that?" you looked back at where everyone was sitting.

Eren had gotten up and was walking toward the group of boys. He said a few words to them, and sat down to continue talking to them. While they talked they looked up at you and Mikasa. Eren must have said the wrong thing because Armin snapped at Eren as he walked back to his original spot.

Mikasa must have been watching as well because she said, "See what I mean?"

"No, not really. Armin's probably just mad that I pulled that dick move at dinner."

"Then why would Eren all of a sudden be acting like this to you?"

"I don't know. Do you know by any chance?"

"My guess is that when they went to the courtyard, Eren called out Armin for not taking that chance with you. So I guess Eren was going to try to woo you to get his point across. I can't tell if Eren really feels that way about you, but with everything that's happened today, who really knows." she grabbed two cups of tea and handed one to you.

"If that's the case..." you started, "Then what should I do?"

"Pretend this conversation never happened and act normal."

You took a sip of your tea before walking back. You finished it before you got back to your seat, and regretted it as tea makes you super drowsy and puts you in an almost drunk-like state. You didn't put much thought into putting your head on Mikasa's lap, and falling asleep. Again.
