Living in shinganshina was always boring to you. Everyday was the same, help mom with breakfast, run errands for mom, help mom with lunch, read and draw, then help mom with dinner. It was just you and your mother at home, your older brother had been killed during an expedition past the walls. You looked up to him, even though he was much older than you. He was the reason you wanted to join the scouting legion after all. You hadn't seen your father in years, after he moved to trost on a job, he found another woman and started a family with her. Occasionally your mother would receive money from him in the mail, but that was the only contact you had with him.

There were many kids in shinganshina, but the closest person you had to a friend was a young girl named Mikasa. You didn't see her often though, you tended to avoid her because she always hung out with eren. It wasn't that you didn't like eren, he was just too loud for your liking. You wished Mikasa didn't like Eren more than you, even though you knew you were just being envious, but was it so bad to want a close friend?

---------------------------------------------------------

You were collecting sticks for your mom when you heard a familiar voice ring from nearby.

"I wasn't sleeping! It was insulin shock" Eren grumbled.

"You're not a diabetic" Mikasa answered, her voice monotone.
You saw the two a little ways away, under a tree atop a small hill. After a few seconds of internal debate, you decided to climb the hill and join them.

"You're not a diabetic" Mikasa repeated, her tone a bit harsher than before.

"G-give me a cookie" Eren said in a strained voice, touching under his eye for show.

"Mikasa, Eren" you called out in a small voice.

Eren was still mumbling under his breath, something about psychics, but Mikasa heard you. You briefly wondered if she had super hearing on top of her dinosaur strength, but brushed off the thought.

"(Y/n)" Mikasa gave me a nod of acknowledgement before turning to eren once again.
You watched them bicker, a smile adorning your face.

"Dammit, it's not my fault Mikasa, you know I have an oral fixation!"

---------------------------------------------------------

You, eren, and Mikasa walked back to the city, and although you would have loved to talk to Mikasa, you knew Eren would eventually take her attention once again, so you kept quiet and only spoke when spoken to.
As the three of you reached the gate into town, you heard a slurred voice call out

"Heeeeey eren" Hanes half stumbled, half walked his way towards us.

"Oh look, an alchoholic ginger, what a surprise" Eren replied his voice sharp with disdain.

"Thas not truu-ima only half ginger" Hanes slurred his words even worse than before, if even possible.

"Even a drop is too much" Eren retorted before spitting on the ground in disgust.

"Wellll excuse me," Hanes said, putting his fist over his chest, "At least my mom's history ain't a family secret"

"What?" Eren basically yelled, glaring daggers at Hanes.

"Your mom was past, probably cuz" Hanes cut himself off, his eyes widening.

"Oh wait, you don't know" he trailed off.

You peeked past Hanes, and saw a few more drunken soldiers playing cards and laughing. You mentally groaned, knowing Eren was bound to lose his cool sooner rather than later.
