Cruel Beautiful World

In Plain Sight

"The boys were staring at you again Krista," the pair sat silently in Ymir's bunk reading a book together. The freckled cadet would quietly tap on a word to ask what it meant or how to say it. And the blonde would whisper it to her under her breath.

"Oh really?" Krista rose up from her spot and began to brush her wet hair, just getting out of the showers a few ago. Mina shook her head yes, god, this girl is so annoying.

"Also we think we figured out who you like," Hannah walked out freshly cleaned from the showers as well. Ymir glanced up to the blue eyed angel, who shot the freckled giant a look too.

Leonhart pushes past the girls rolling her eyes so hard that it probably hurt. Ymir related to Annie on a spiritual level, she wouldn't mind hanging out with her, but two mutes probably wouldn't talk about a lot of things.

"Yeah, I mean it's Marco," a sigh in relief came from the little cadet. "Tall, dark, freckled, fits perfectly," Hannah began to dry her hair.

"I don't think so," Sasha spoke up sitting on the top bunk to their left. "I think there is someone much more obvious...," potato girl darted her eyes back to the gossip girls then at Ymir. She just shook her head no.

"Yeah! You are going on a date with Thomas," Mina spoke up, "but he is the complete opposite." Krista sat back down on the end of the bed.

"I guess I'm just giving him a shot," gosh, Ymir hates hearing her talk like this. So obviously a sham. "But I'm kind of nervous, I was thinking that I should bring Ymir," the two girls laughed.

"You don't wanna scare him off do you?" The raven haired girl giggled on, "Ymir is a little mean." The cadet in question was giving her most ugly look she could muster at the two buffoons, could they stay out of their business?

"Yes but I feel better when she's near," Krista leaned back and rested against her partners knees, "oh! Mina what if you come! It could be like a group thing." She was really good at getting her way.

"I have wanted to go out in town, but I'm not sure. I don't wanna intrude," that was a huge lie. Of course she did.

"It's not gonna be a problem, just a few friends hanging out," Krista sent her fake smile to them all.

"Definitely not friends with her," Ymir huffed under her breath, an elbow hit her leg hard, telling her to shut up.

"Well I guess it could be fun," Krista's mouth curved more into a smile and forced her body to separate her partner's legs. Laying her head on Ymir's stomach, turning her head to grin up at the freckled face. Who was hiding behind the book.

The blonde turned herself to lay on her stomach, and pushed herself up her giant partner, "mission accomplished." Krista whispered as she rested her head on Ymir's shoulder. The other cadets turned out their light leaving the pair with the only dim candle still lit. "You should let me sleep with you," Ymir closed her book, and gave a glare. Lighting tapping the hardcover on the small recruit's forehead.

"Go to sleep in your own bed," The freckled girl sent her book down on the end table, and burned the light out. The blonde pouted, snuggling into Ymir's body and wrapping her arms around her torso.

"You're so soft though," using soft as a descriptor for the tan giant was a very foreign idea. Her partner had been more touchy since there little... thing, Ymir didn't mind. At all. She did recuperate the affection most of the time.

"No, get up," Ymir pried the tiny hands around her off, and pushed the blonde off of her body. "We have plans tomorrow, need a lot of sleep," The taller one rose and stood ready to pick up the smaller cadet. Once Krista figured out she wasn't going to win this conversation, she cooperated, and was lifted by the waist.

Krista rolled into her bed, and ran her hand through the brown hair that belonged to her partner. "Thanks freckles," Ymir watched the girl play with her, "you should get a haircut. Your hair is getting a bit long." Bring her tan hand up to her hair she felt her shaggy head, it was getting long, for her standards.

"We'll see," the freckled girl moved to lay down in her bed, but Krista's hand that was still stroking her hair, pulled a handful up. Forcing Ymir to come back up, "Oh my gosh, What?"

The tiny girl gestured for her to come closer. With an eye roll, Ymir did as told. Finally having their faces close, Krista pushed up on her elbows and gave a small kiss on the freckled nose. That nose turned red, along with the whole freckled face.

"Can't wait for our date tomorrow Ymir," Krista licked her lips as she spoke, giving the other a flirty smile.

"It's not really a date, just us messing around with side burns," Ymir pulled away from the little solider.

"I'll take what I can get."

Laying down, Ymir felt the weight of someone's stare on her. All the girls were asleep, except for potato girl, who had her gaze locked on the tan cadet.

Once they meet each other's looks, Sasha moved her head back and forth making kissing faces at Ymir. Who just shook her head no, and rolled on her side so she wouldn't need to see the brunette.

The girl wasn't wrong, Ymir just didn't wanna believe it. This is not what she had expected when she went looking for the Reiss girl.

At the same time she wasn't really complaining.
