Notice Me Senpai - Eren x Reader

ATTENTION! THIS ONE-SHOT HAPPENS DURING THE PERIOD OF TIME WHEN EREN'S 3DMG WAS STILL BUSTED. OKAY, NOW YOU MAY PROCEED!

    "Thank you f/n! Thank you, thank you, thank you." Eren kept repeatedly blabbering as you accepted to help him out.

    "Enough Jaeger, if you don't shut up I'll back out." You said, shooting him an irritated glance while walking next to him to the training grounds, "I just don't understand what's so hard about maneuvering."

    He sighed, kicking at a few rocks in frustration, for not being able of attaining any 3DMG skills. Helping him out was the least you could do, after witnessing Eren's humiliation in front of the whole army.

    "Does your head still hurt?" You asked, worried that his faceplant from before was a little too hard.

    "Another Mikasa is the least thing I need right now." You chuckled, patting his head that was covered with a few bandages.

    The walk towards the training 3DMG suddenly became silent, both of you seizing the breeze while the stars plastered on the dark sky, and your torches illuminated the path. You played with the tips of your fingers, trying not to feel awkward for spending time alone with Eren. You flinched at his touch, as he gripped onto your wrist.

    "What's wrong?" You ask, not actually minding his fingers circling your skin.

    "D-did you hear that?!" He shifted glances, looking into the abyss as if searching for a certain figure. A few nearby bushes fidgeted under your sight, but you didn't budge while assuming it was probably the rattling wind. You dismissed your uprising worry and fastened your pace, perhaps also getting frightened.

    "Don't be such a pussy, and hurry." You ushered him deeper into the labyrinth of trees, finally reaching the stable maneuver gear, used for practicing purposes only.

    You placed your torch away, making some final adjustments on your gear before helping Eren set up. The lingering twilight only managed to worsen your situation, as you struggled not to accidentally touch Eren's hip while fumbling with his gear.

    "I give UP! Do it yourself." You backed away, concealing the heating blush upon your skin with your hair. A growing temptation kept enticing Eren from kissing your adorable cheeks, before he also looked away, ashamed by his naughty thoughts.

    After buckling his last belts, Eren walked up to the platform, inserting both legs on the practicing 3DMG with only his toes preventing him from falling. You approached the brunet, placing both hands on the hips and shooting him a stern look.

    "Chill f/n, please don't become Captain Shedis." Eren joked, hesitating to let go of the floor, his laugh revealing nervousness. 

    "Shut up and start training! Do you want to faceplant in front of the whole squad again?" You taunted him, with a devious smirk. A dark hue shot up Eren's ears before he finally jumped and pushed the ground.

    You immediately began shouting commands, not wanting to waste a second if Eren happened to fail. 'ARMS OUT' 'BALANCE BOTH SIDES' 'PATIENCE IS THE KEY'. After countless screams, you felt your throat become more sore by each second. Fortunately enough, the brunet actually managed to survive the first 10 seconds before his body began inclining.

    "F/N HELP!" He yelled, placing both arms forward in anticipation before he felt your firm grasp embrace his back, preventing him from colliding against the floor.

    "Geez Eren! It's not that hard!" You groaned with your eyes closed, your chest beating rapidly at the sudden incident. Things happened a bit too quickly for you to realize the proximity of your chest to Eren's. Yet even after acknowledging his arms hugging you back, you hesitated to let go, afraid the warmth spreading around your aura would instantly leave.
