Well Known Strangers -Eren x Reader-

1

(Y/n) P.O.V

I've been here for nearly five minutes and I'm already bored out of my mind, I just want to get on with training. I had joined the 104th trainee division after the fall of Shignshina, my family had died that day. That was the Day I swore to give them hell, the day I swore to never be hurt again. Set everything you love up in flames and then burn the ashes

-Flash back-

I heard a big crash and then loads of screams I turned to look at the place where it was all coming from. The wall. I looked in fear as I saw a hand grasping the top of the wall and a hole in the wall where the gate would usually be. I looked around to see my friend Armin and his two other friends Eren and Mikasa standing in disbelief  at the site in front of them. I never really knew Eren and Mikasa personally but they were friends of Armin so I kind of just knew they were alright. I suddenly saw them, the humanoid creatures that stood 10 meters tall, The Titians. I couldn't move it was horrible, then suddenly something came over me. I ran as fast as I could back home, I ran so fast I thought my legs would give in from under me. As I raced through the door I saw my Mother trying to calm my sister down while getting her own nerves under control at the same time. As soon as everyone was together we headed out the door, we ran out onto the streets that were filled with blood, it didn't feel real. Without thinking twice we were running towards the gate of wall Maria when all of a sudden everything felt slow motion. There was a titian crouched down in the streets ready to pounce, almost as if it knew we were coming all along. It reached its arm out just barley missing me. I kept running, I turned around to suddenly see my family were no longer behind me. I looked up to see them being devoured by the titian, my whole world had fell apart when suddenly I was scooped up by a soldier in the Garrison regiment, they brought me to where they were loading up the boats. I knew from that day on I would give them hell.

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

As I stood in line while sergeant Keith gave some of the other Cadets hell, I noticed he was skipping some of us, including me. They must have all been at Shiganshina when the fall of wall Maria occurred. After he was done yelling at some of us we headed to the bunks where we all got changed, I got into my (F/c) Shirt with a grey skirt before heading into the mess hall. I gabbed some food before heading to a table by myself. I wasn't planning on making friends any time soon, I didn't want to lose anyone else.

I finished my food and then went to sit outside on the porch, Sasha was still running and the final few Wagons left with the dropouts, Cowards. I just sat and watched the Sky as the clouds flew by, I always loved to watch the Sky, The sky was always so honest It never had anything to hide and that's why I love to watch it.
"You always did like to watch the sky when we were younger, guess you haven't grown out of that yet" a familiar voice said from behind me, I instantly knew who it was.
"Armin?! God I didn't know you were here!" I said almost jumping on him. I didn't know Armin had joined the 104th Trainee division. I Kind of wish he didn't...

We Sat on the steps just talking about what had happened to the both of us the past few years. I learned that Eren and Mikasa had also joined the 104th. I told him about how my family had died in Shiganshina when the titians broke through the wall. We talked until We saw Sasha come back in with Krista and Yimir. Eren and Mikasa then came out and told Armin it was late and he should head to bed. I dont think Eren Remembered me, I looked him right in the eye hoping he would remember me but I also hoped he didn't. He just looked right away from me.

"Well it was nice to see you again (y/n), I missed you," Armin said and gave me a hug, we said goodnight and then I sat back on the porch under the stars. I like to be alone most of the time, Its so I can collect my thoughts and wind down. The night felt very eerie, more than usual, and I loved it. I eventually found myself yawning and decided to head in for the night. By now everyone was already asleep It was only me up, or so I thought.

-Eren's P.O.V-

I Saw (Y/n) Today, she's definitely grown up alright. She's still shorter than me but you can tell just by looking at her how mature she has co5me to be. She looked me Right in the eye her bright (E/c) Orbs staring contently into my turquoise eyes. I Froze, she looked perfect right there in that moment. Her (H/c) hair Fell just under her shoulders, her shirt was untucked from her skirt, she looked so venerable but unapproachable at the same time. I quickly looked away from her, knowing my cheeks would turn crimson if I stared any longer. I never really knew (Y/n) personally, I just knew who she was through Armin. We said a few things every now and again but I never actually knew anything about her. I'm hoping that will change now that were going to be training together.

"Hey Armin, What's up with (y/n)? She seems so distant," I asked Armin who was in the bed beside mine.
"She hasn't always been like that, She was in Shiganshina at the time of the titian attack aswell remember? I didn't even Know she was still alive till today, She saw her whole family devoured by a titian. If you thought you were bad think about her, she keeps her distance cause she doesn't want to get hurt again." he said in a low tone to not wake anyone else up. My eyes grew wide, I never knew how much she's been through. "She told me that She doesn't want to lose her family again, and how much she wishes that I didn't join the cadets, and how I should take you and Mikasa and run while I can." He said.
"I never knew that... and I thought I went through hell..." I said looking over at Armin to fins he had given in to the weight of his eyelids. Them Damned Titians will pay
