Reincarnation (Eren x Reader)

Chapter 4 {Soldier}

You took a deep breath in, and spoke: "For a long time, I've been wanting to join the survey corps." They both gasped. Surprisingly, they didn't yell at you and listened to you as you demonstrated why. When they heard you say: "I made a promise to Eren that I'd see him there." The terror on their faces went away. "I prefer you to join when you're a tad older... Perhaps at 14 years old, you can join them. I know it's dangerous, but I know that you'll be very successful with this." Your father said. Your face wasn't serious anymore, and it became happy. "Thank you!" You screamed and hugged both of your parents with both of your arms. 

You are now 14 years old, and you were outside picking up some ingredients for your mother's soup, but then saw a child sitting along a brick wall. Many people passed by this child and did nothing but step past him. You kneeled on your knees and took out some bread with an apple. You also took off the scarf you were wearing and lent it to him so he could use it as a blanket. "These are for you." You told him. The child grinned at you and thanked you with his faint, hushed voice. 

You didn't really make friends your age, you would be friends with the older and younger ones because you helped them out so much. "I'd like to help out again sometime!" You shouted, and the lady said: "Thank you very much Y/N!" 

You were looking backward, so you weren't knowledgeable about your surroundings. "Oh! I'm sor-" The boy you bumped into had such a hazy look and a scary face. "I-I'll get going now." You told him. He attained silence. However, this boy wouldn't stop trailing you. You got a little worried and commenced racing. "I've gotta get home fast!" You conceived. You took a turn, and unfortunately, you took the incorrect turn and ended up at a dead end. He edged closer and closer, with the pocket knife in his hands. "You need to learn how to fight back." A memory popped up in your head. It was of Eren ordering you to fight back. 

You cuffed this boy across the face and locked your eyes tightly. He pressed the knife up to your neck. "Hel-" "If you cry the word 'help' I'll tear your neck." The boy cut you off. "Don't you dare touch her!" Another boy stepped in from behind. He appeared to be a member of the survey corps because of his uniform. The soldier knocked out the boy, and the knife only put a miniature cut on your neck. "Are you hurt?" 

When you saw this soldier's face, you couldn't look away. When he saw your face, he couldn't look away. "E-Eren?" You faltered. "Y/N!" He gleefully shouted. It's been a long time since he's laughed. You ran to him and hopped in his arms. "Haha! I almost didn't recognize you! I mean, you look so different now!" Eren told you with both of his hands on your shoulders.
