I've been in a real YmirxChrista mood lately, I've been working on some fanart, written this up, looking up awesome fanarts, trying to find some good fics of the pairing (If anyone can recommend me any, it would be greatly appreciated!)
Anyways, I've had this idea in my head for a little while now, so I thought why the hell not, it also helps me practice with characters with different personalities to what I usually work with...apparently, I'm pretty decent with quirky characters.
I'll shut up now...
It was a miserable night; the air was frosty, the wind was strong, and it was drizzling with rain that was easy to predict to become heavier later on. Most people had retreated to their homes, others into cafe's, pubs, or any other shops that were still open, and the occasional person walking around with umbrellas or still trying to seek shelter.
The later being the situation for a petite blond girl who was aimlessly walking the streets, confused and lost. A chilly gust of wind that blew the rain into her face caused the tiny girl to shiver as she tried to pull her jacket into her for warmth, which proved to be a futile effort. The rain had already seeped through her coat, and her legs were bare to the harsh weather thanks to her knee high skirt. In an act of desperation, the teen turned into an ally, which did relieve her from the wind and seemed to host a small cafe, and club that she could take refuge in if only for a little while, hopefully till the rain died down.
The girl had no hope of getting into the club, she was only 15, which left her with only the cafe. Thank god, maybe she could be able to scrape enough money together to get herself some tea or hot chocolate to warm herself up. She quickly walked through the ally, coming towards the club where she accidentally walked into someone wha had just exited the building.
The girl let out an 'oof' as she bounced off the other and landed on her butt in a puddle.
"Huh? O-oh shit, sorry." the stranger, who was identified to be male, sputtered and quickly extended his hand out , which the blond grabbed onto and was hoisted up from the puddle and onto her feet. Getting a good look at the man, he appeared to be somewhere in his early 20's, with brownish-red hair and freckles that covered his face, and the strong smell off beer coming from his breath caused the girl to crinkle her nose slightly at the vile scent. "So, w-what's a cute li'l chick like yourself doin' 'ere this late?"
"I-I was just heading for the cafe just there." The girl tried to point in the direction of the neon sign outside the building further up, only to realize that her hand was still gripped inside the mans. She tried to tug her hand free, but the larger hand's grip tightened onto hers.
"Pfft, Why'd ya go te that shit'ole? If ya's want coffee, I'd whip ya up one at my place for free, 'n might give ya sometin' a little...special." The guy's friendly smile became a not so friendly smirk as he eyed the petite blond's body.
"O-oh no, I-I couldn't." She stuttered as a cold chill ran up her spine. The way the man was speaking was unsettling.
"Aww c'mon, I'm sure we could 'ave a lodda fun."
The girl squeaked as the other puller her closer which caused panic to sink in, "Please let go!"
"OI! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, YA SEEDY BASTARD!" A new voice called out. The two turned their heads to see someone storming towards them. It turned to be a tall girl, that happened to tower over the two, who was leering daggers at the man who was harassing the poor blond.
"None ov'ya damn business, bitch!" The man snapped as he gave the other girl a harsh tug that made her yelp.
"If ya know what's good for you, I'd let the kid go, now."
"'N what'chya gonna do if I don't? Gonna cry to the police like the useless woman you are?"
The taller girl gave him a bored expression, "You really don't wanna go there."
"Oh ho! Whatchya gonna do abo-" The man was cut off when the taller of the three thrusted the back of her palm under his jaw. The man cried in surprise at the assault and released his grip on the blond, who quickly withdrew her hand into her chest and backed away to watch as the other girl continued her attack by elbowing the man in the stomach, then grabbed his head when he had doubled over, and smashed his face into her knee. Now with a bloody nose (which may have even been broken), the man was screaming out swears and slurs as he picked himself up and ran off.
The taller girl let out a smug chuckle before turning her attention to the other girl, who seemed to be scared enough that she was shaking. As soon as the brunette approached the blond, the smaller of the two flinched and brought her arms up in a pathetic attempt to shield herself.
"Jeez, is that how you treat your savior? I just saved your arse from getting raped by that sleazeball." the brunette drawled.
"Hu-huh?"
"Relax kid, I ain't gonna do anything to ya. You shouldn't really be out in this part of town when it's this late, I'd head home if ya know what's good for you."
"Stop calling me kid, I'm 15!" The blond scoffed, earning a rather surprised look from the taller girl.
"Jesus Christ, you're 15?! With your height and baby face, you look 11!"
The blond huffed, crossing her arms over her chest to show she was annoyed, but that slowly changed as soon as her shoulders slumped and she wasn't looking the other in the eye. "Anyways, I don't really have anywhere to go anymore..." She mumbled quietly, somewhat hoping the brunette didn't here her.
Much to her disdain, the taller girl heard her since she gave her a stern look, as though she was mauling something over in her head, before she sighed as she pulled out an old Nokia and dialed a number.
"Yo Reiner...God damn it, I said I was going to the Garrison Cafe...Urgh, for the love of god, I'm allowed to spoil myself occasionally alright!...Fine fine. Look, I just found a stray...Yeah, well, she looks a bit of a princess, so I doubt she'd last long on her own an-...For the ever loving fuck, I was just about to head back and I found her being harassed by some scumbag-...Of course...Yep...Right...Alright, I'll be back in a bit, see ya." The brunette hung up and shoved the fossil of a phone back into her pocket, giving the smaller girl a smirk. "Well you're in luck, looks like you're gonna have a roof over your head tonight."
Blue eyes widened in surprise at the news, though she was a lot more hesitant than grateful. A complete stranger comes out of nowhere, helps her out and then offers her a place to stay, it all seemed rather suspicious.
"Oh don't give me that look, we're all in the same situation as you. It's your choice though, you can either come with me, or you can stay out here with the dogs. And I don't mean the man's best friend kind of dogs."
It didn't even take the blond a second to agree after that statement, and was soon following the taller female to wherever their destination was.
"By the way, it's Ymir."
"Hmn?"
"My name, and you are...?"
"Oh, Hist...It's Christa."
Ymir gave the girl a stern, analytical glance as Christa who nervously swallowed and prayed she at least didn't notice her little slip up. Thankfully she didn't bother questioning her as she continued to lead the way, Christa following like a lost puppy in high hopes of shelter where she'll have a comfy bed and maybe a nice warm meal waiting for her.
I totally should have had Ymir beat the guy up with her Nokia, I'm fully convinced you could mug or even kill a person with those indestructible bastards! XD
So yeah, updating this will really depend on how well of a response this gets. This also won't be a top priority story, I've got 3 others to work on, and 2 of them are bigger projects...
I never beg for reviews, that's something totally up to you to choose. So all I ask is if I do continue this, please be patient with the updates! ^^;
