Shingeki no Kemono - Attack on Monsters

Chapter 4 - Thread connecting hearts

  Yeeeey. Another one...  

Recommend listening to this song while reading the part when Eren trains with Levi again. :0Sorry for the feels tho. Ahhhh...

It had just been like the captain had predicted. A lower commander announced their departure postponed to tomorrow and remarked to everyone to stay put, just in case if they had to leave earlier. The news calmed and unnerved everyone at the same time.

Calmed, because they had more time to gather themself and unnerved, because they could have been on the way already and it was so soon. Doubts started nagging at their minds. What if something happens? Isn't it preprogrammed that something happens at some point?

While the whole team was somehow out of it, the only person completely unaffected, probably having the mood of his life, was Eren. He continued to tease everyone, but bringing back the playfull easyness during breakfast wasn't as easy anymore. Everyone slowly started to get aware of the things happening. Not like the brown haired that was way ahead and already accepted their fate. One time he had been preoccupied with something else, everyone was loosing it.

The bad vibrations somehow had an effect on the captain, who was making unnecessarry rounds through the halls when usually he would not move an inch, even while having an inner turmoil.

'It's somehow weird... I mean.... I don't know him. Do I miss him or what? What is my fucking problem!? I never do stuff like this... what the hell came over me!?'

He was still pretty high and happy from what happened earlier, but he wasn't one to stay in a good mood for too long. The happening made him question himself, what he never did and made him reconsider his choices, he thought were always pretty bad.

This morning was a complete slip-up and he hoped it had consequences not too big.

After hours the corporal still kept pacing around quite visibly, so when suddenly one of the reappearing cadets blocked his way, almost making him crash right into the walking form, the tension gathering in him oozed out: "CHRIST!", he barked onto whoever dared to move so clumsy.

"Are you religious, Captain?", Ymir teased, standing next to her friends and forgetting once more how to shut her mouth.

"No. But you'll gonna be after I'm finished with you!", he gleamed murderously at her, his gaze darkening to a point of dark aura visibly surrounding him.

'I should stop messing with him, if I still want to be here.........'

The cadets quickly rushed out of the hallway to gather somewhere else.

"He's gonna eat us all alive someday....", someone complained, when the cadets met with the rest in the sleeping rooms.

"Who?", Connie wondered, listening to the conversation.

"Prince Grumpy. Who else?"

Erens face visibly fell. "Ouh.. he's in a bad mood ...again?"

"Again? I think you're misunderstanding something there, Yeager. He's always in a bad mood. It solely depends on the level and category of bad. There's dissapointed, disinterested, mean, murderous, distant and furious."

It was quite unbelievable for the brownhaired to hear this about his idol. 'Yeah, sure.....' But if he'd actually believe it, he'd be more then concerned.
