AoT SnK: (Jean x OC) Something worth fighting for

Chapter Six

                Time flew by as i trained harder and harder, practicing with Rose every chance i got. Today we were training with 3-dmg gear. I was clumsy at first but Rose had helped me with the basics. "Go ahead Rose, if you stay behind with me you'll be scored lower." she nods and takes off. I started  to try and catch up eventually I had made it into the front group, i was clumsy, but i was fast. 

                Rose was in the lead along with Mikasa and a few others. When i thought i had gotten the hang of it and sent my right cable to a tree branch, it had missed and i had started to fall. No....I cant fall here!... Falling was a terrifying snsation to me and the fear had caused me to shut my eyes tight. I was going to fail, and be forced back into the fields, all my hard work, will be for nothing. I snapped my eyes open and extended my arm in a sad attempt to to reach for a tree branch. When i had lost hope, i felt a pair of arms catch me and carry me to a thick branch nearby. 

                "Idiot!" Jean whispered in my ear. " You could have seriously gotten hurt." Jean had set me down next to him. "oh shut up" i grinned. "Having trouble with your manuevering gear?" Jean asked. I nodded. After Jean quickly gave me a few tips, we continued forward before we were caught by the chief instructor Sadis. I had started to glide more gracefully, this made me excited as i grinned. The air whipping past me almost made me forget about the walls and feel free. I saw Jean look at me with a side smile. I felt my face heat up a little so I quickened my movement and  went on ahead. 

               Days pass as Training became easier and easier. Today was hand to hand combat, again. Today i had partnered with Jean, his confident grin was almost annoying to look at. I had the wodden knife this time and i positioned myself ready to attack. "Don't hold back!" i shouted as i charged towards him. Jean had punched my gut but i pushed through the pain. I elbowed him back but jean had knocked me down on the ground taking the wooden knife from my hands and holding it against me. 

                I grunted in pain. "We aren't graded on this you know." he said. "I don't care" i breathed. I brought up my knee to hit his groin sending him to the ground. I took the oppurtunity to pin his arms above his head with one hand  while i hold the wooden knife in the other. My legs kept his pinned and i grinned in victory. "I win" i smiled. Jean looked to the side with an annoyed look. "what ever, your hurting my legs." he said. I moved my legs and sat on his abdomen. Just from sitting i could tell Jean's abdomen was very firm. 

                I found myself thinking about Jean and how he looked...handsome i thought. W-wait no! Stop it Kat, you can't think those thing about Jean..What if you actually...Love him? My face heated up as i thought i might have feelings for the boy i met in Trost. Jean's voice brought me back to reality when i heard him say "U-uhm Kat, could you get off me now? P-people are staring.."Jean murmured with a red dusted on his cheeks. My eyes widened as i jumped off him and began to frantically apologize. "I'm so sorry, sorry sorry sorry!" My face had a dark blush accenting my freckles.

                Jean dusted himself off and looked towards the side, blushing. "i-its fine, no big deal..." I followed his gaze towards mikasa, i felt my heart break a little. Why am i so dissappointed? I turned around and began to walk away. "Thanks for sparring with me Jean.." i said and walked off to go practice with Rose. 

                                                *Jean's POV*

                Kat sat on me for a few minutes, not saying anything just looking at me with her gentle blue eyes. Her light brown bangs covered her right eye. I fought the urge to push her hair behind her ears to reveal her freckled cheeks. Kat was my friend for four years now, and i knew she was pretty but having this chance right now to look at her close up, she was more than pretty. Kat was beautiful.

                I felt the stares of the other soldiers on us and felt my face heat up. "u-uhm Kat, could you get off me now? P-people are staring.." I stuttered. Kat looked as if she awoken from a day dream. Kat apologized frantically, her bright red face was cute to look at, but i turned towards the side to make it look like i wasnt staring. I realized that in my line of sight Mikasa was sparring with some other student. Kat seemed to notice too because before she turned around she had a hurt look in her eyes and tried to hide it with a sad smile before turning and walking away.

                "Thanks for sparring with me Jean.." Kat murmured as she walked towards her friend Rose. I couldn't find the words as i wanted to call out to Kat. Instead i had just watched her small slim figure walk away. Damn Jean...look what you did..
