Growing feelings - (Bertholdt x Reader) College AU

New Friends

It was hard to believe that my first year in college had come to an end.

I was just heading back from my last exam, when I saw Christa.

- We're going to meet up at a nice coffe house to celebrate that exams are over, this weekend - she said lively - There will be some friends of mine from highschool. Want to join us?

I hesitated for a bit. Christa was friends with them so things could get awkward if they were there...

- It will be just the girls. - she winked - common it will be fun.

I nodded - Alright I'll be there - and let out a small smile.

It looked like it had been so long since I had fun. I was so into getting everything done for classes that I forgot about the world arround me; now that all that was over, I felt relief, but not joyfullness. 

My mind was scattered, and my heart was empty... like something was missing.

- Everyone, this is (y/n)! - Christa smiled while introducing me to her friends - She's a dear friend of mine, so please be nice to her - she stared at a tall, brunette girl while saying the last part.

- Aren't I allways nice? - the girl replied.

Honeslty meeting Christa was the best thing to come out from going to that festival. She was that one thing preventing me from regretting ever going.

It was hard to meet up during exams, but she would approach me for a chat once in a while. We agreed that after everything was done, we would go shopping and do things together. It felt good to have plans for the summer, something to look foward to.

- So you're a dear friend uh - the new girl put an arm arround my shoulders - be carefull not to be too 'dear', alright?

- Ymir, I told you to be nice.

- Don't mind Ymir too much. I'm Mikasa, nice to meet you. - one of them said with a monotone voice.

- Nice to meet you too...

- Anyway shouldn't we get inside? I want to try the new cake they were going to have today - said  Sasha, a girl that was also at the festival back then.

I looked at the plate above the door, where the letters 'Susume coffe house' could be seen. I had never been to this place. 

We entered and it was decorated with a vintage style, cozy and welcoming.

After we all seated I grabbed the menu to choose what to order. Maybe I would try the "Wings of freedom special"..?

- Choose whatever you would like, this time is my treat.

- Oi Christa, I thought I told you to stop being nice for no reason. Each should pay for their share.

- But I was the one that invited!

- If that's the case, can I have three of these and two of those?

- Sasha, can you even eat all of that. - a blonde girl that had been quiet this whole time spoke.

- You're doubting me, Annie?

- Afterall this time you're still an idiot, guess some things never change - Annie declared while shaking her head.

An older woman with glasses and an uniform, interrupted by approaching our table.

- Good Afternoon. Have you decided on your orde... OH CHRISTA! IT'S BEEN A WHILE! How have you been! - she was overly enthusiastic all of a sudden.
