Hallo, finally new content lol. Anywhoozle

THIS IS A HALF CHAPTER.

Warnings: Cursing (Its AoT, what do you expect?)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     Even though it had been a few months since the incident, you were still shaken up. You and surprisingly Eren had been as quiet as Mikasa, usually just sitting and thinking alone. You had tried to approach Mikasa and talk but her responses were always short and left no room for a reply, if she responded at all. Eventually you just decided to give it time. Instead, you decided to clear your head and go fly. Grabbing Henry, you quietly told Carla that you were leaving and exited the house, closing the door behind you. Along the walk, you got lost in your thoughts and let your feet lead the way. 'I actually...killed someone...I came to this world to save people and I end up killing in the process. But then again,  I had no choice because I had to kill one to save another..' A realization came to you that made you feel a bit sick to the stomach. '​​​​​​'I won't be able to save everyone... And sometimes... I might have to even have to end lives myself' Not noticing where you were going, you almost walked into a door, only being saved by Henry's chirp that made you look up. You found yourself at a familiar corner shop that you had been consistently visiting since you had found it.  'I know I said I was going to fly today but I'm already here so I might as well' Opening the old door with a creak, you hear the familiar bell ring to signify the lady, who's name you learned was Rin, that you were there. "Hello and we- oh (Y/n), dear! It's wonderful to see you! Here to work are you?" Rin called out joyously. Since you had came here the first time, you had come back a lot to buy new parts that would work better. Once your project had gotten a lot bigger, you decided you couldn't hide it well at the house so you came back and timidly asked if you could store it and work on it here. To your luck she had said yes and so here you were almost done. From time to time she would even help you improve certain bits. You had shown her your plans and she was thoroughly impressed. "Yes ma'am, I was hoping to finish the last little bits on the swiveling belt!" You respond. "Oh wonderful! Isn't that the last major part you had to work on? Besides little details of course" She said with a small laugh at the end. "Yup!" You say, popping the 'p'. Walking towards the desk, which was near the back of the old shop, you lift up a part of the counter that allows you to go behind the desk and go towards the back room after leaving Henry with Rin. The back room was just big enough to work comfortably and was littered in bits and pieces on a work bench and had blueprints and notes pinned to almost every part of the walls, illuminated by a single hanging light above the bench. If anyone were to enter and see you working, you would just play it off as working as Rin's apprentice and say you're fixing a Garrison soldier's gear. Walking over to the far wall, you take a brown, heavy duty apron that blacksmiths would use and drape it over your body, shifting your cloak so that it sat comfortably with the apron. Turning back to the work bench, you bend down and take out a large box from underneath and set it on the bench, its contents clinking inside. Reaching into your messanger bag, that you always carry, you pull out your worn brown notebook. Even after all the year, it was still slightly stained red. Cringing, you flip to the slightly yellowing page that held your blueprints and set it aside. Opening the box, you pull out your almost complete 3DMG, you set it down gently with a 'thud' and pull out a bag of tools and spare parts. Going back and forth between your notebook and the spare parts, you pull out what you need and begin to weld together different parts for the belt. A few hours later, you're covered in a bit of sweat and dirt. 'This.. This is the last piece! I'll finally have it, after years of planning and work...' With a giddy smile, you carefully screw on the last piece, the one that holds the swiveling belt to the main belt. Checking that it was tightly secure, you let out a joyus laugh. "Rin! Rin! I finished!" Rushing in, Rin joined you in your joyus celebration. "Oh it's beautiful (Y/n)!  Looks even better than the ones the soldiers use!" She exclaimed. "It's thanks to you that I could finish this, so thank you so much Rin. I owe you!" Raising her hand and waving it dismissively, Rin simply replied "Don't worry about it dear, now go test it out while its still light outside! I recommend going to the forest just outside the south wall of the city in Rose, there should be a small opening in the wall that was never filled.  It's towards the edge near the smaller houses. Don't get caught now hun" ending with a wink. You just gratefully thank her and carefully hide the 3DMG in your bag, returning the apron and shifting your cloak over your bag once more. With a wave, you picked up Henry, who was chilling on the desk in the main part of the store, grabbed a set of straps for the gear (you'd pay her later) and ran out. Almost bumping into people on the way, you follow her instructions and find yourself on the south side of the wall near the smaller houses. While catching your breath, your (e/c) eyes scan the wall, the gray stones all worn down and slightly covered in vines. Nothing really caught your eye as you walked along the wall to find the opening. Even if you didn't find it, you knew you could still fly over but that would run the risk of being seen. Keeping that in mind, you search longer and around ten minutes later, you notice a darker patch of vines. Going closer, you move them aside to find a small hole, just big enough for you to crawl through.With a small victory smile, you let Henry go first and get down on your knees and crawl after him with your wings brushing against the top of the hole.Once you reached the other side, you brush the dirt off of your knees and take out your 3DMG, setting the bag to the side. Looking around, you're surrounded by grass, bushes and tall trees, perfect for the 3dmg. Picking back up your bag, you walk down a dirt path that was covered in brush from little use, getting distracted by a few berries you found on your way. Popping one in your mouth, you give one to Henry before -'Oh shit!! Those weren't berries-' (just kidding. Anyways-) before you find the perfect spot to start practicing, just far enough away from the wall to not be heard and just close enough to not get lost. 'Perfect!'  Setting Henry down on a near by stump, you carefully take out your 3dmg gear and set it next to Henry along with the straps. Removing your cloak and setting it aside, you beginning to put on the straps. It was as though you had done it a thousand times with how much you had seen it be done. The back panel was a bit uncomfortable against your wings but you managed. Now all that was left to do was attach the gear. 'Oh boy, I'm gonna have to make custom straps. This will do for now.' Pausing for a moment, you steeled your nereves, swallowing thickly to calm down. ​​​​​​'Here we go.. Thus shouldn't be a problem right? I have perfect balance for Pete's sake!!' With that in mind, you shoot your hook into the nearest tree and shoot forwards. "AH FUCK, I'M DOOMED!!" You shout, almost hitting the tree before using one of the extra swiveling hooks that you added to pull you dirrectly to your left. Your head snapped to the right and almost gave you whiplash. Cursing in pain, you barely had time to relax before you were almost thrown into another tree. Reacting quickly, you use one of the normal hooks to pull you a bit to the right and successfully lock onto another tree. Repeating this pattern, you start to get the hang of it, albiet a bit wobbly (this is the first time you've used this afterall). Gaining confidence, you turn to Henry, who had been trying to follow a bit behind you, and stick your tongue out. "Do ya see me?! I'm doing i- *Crack*" ......"Fuck." You ran into a tree.

       "What happened to you?!" Was the first thing Carla said as you walked in the door,  gesturing worriedly to your bloody and bruised nose that was probably cracked. You let out a very nasally "I don't wanna talk about it" with a deadpan face. Mikasa helped you bandage your nose as Eren claimed he would beat anyone up who hurt you. Letting out a short laugh, you just pat both of their heads and claimed that you were going to bed. You shared a bed with Mikasa since she had came here, so it wasn't a surprise that sometime later you felt something warm cuddle up to you. Knowing who it was, you turn around and wrap your arms around her frame while placing your chin on top of her head. "Night Kasa" you mumbled. Because her face was burried in your next, you missed her red cheeks and ears... "Night N/n..." (Nickname).
