Hello everyone !
This is my first attack on titan fanfic (and my very first fanfic ^^).
I'm really excited (and a little worried) and hope you will like it !
Don't hesitate to leave a comment to give me your opinion or to point a mistake.
I'm afraid that since english is not my first language (and I don't have a bêta), there surely will be some :s
Anyway, I hope you enjoy your reading ! XD
S.P.
Drunken dare
" Come on Yeager, you coward ! Do it ! " said Jean with a shit-eating smile. " Yeah, do it Eren ! " sang both Connie and Sasha, before giggling like the drunk college students they were. That was so unfair ! Really, every time one of his friend lost a bet, he would always give them a not-so-mean-forfeit, like the time he had Connie licking the armpit of the baseball team captain after a match, or when he had Armin go to the lady restroom in college … not so mean right ?
So, in Eren opinion, it was pretty unfair that, since he was such a good friend, the horseface would ask him that. That was a shitty prank. Well, it made sense since it was the horseface idea, but even Armin seemed happy about it !
" I'm not a coward, I just don't understand why I have to do this ! Weren't we just doing that for fun ? It seems quite offensive to me ! " said loudly Eren.
" Oh no, you're not getting out of this, Yeager ", replied the horseface with a grin, " you're doing it ! ".
" Yes, " said Armin, " it seems kind of funny now that I'm not the one who has to do it ! ".
" But why do I have to kiss a stranger ? I mean, what if the woman feels attacked ? What if it's her first kiss ? Wouldn't it be awful ? " insisted Eren.
Eren Yeager was not a coward. He was just concerned for the poor girl who could be traumatized and all that crap. Yeah, he was being considerate here, definitely not a coward.
As he watched his friends, he could almost feel safe. Armin had stop smiling and started thinking, a hint of concern in the eyes. Connie and Sasha went silent too. The only one seeming unconvinced was Jean. He had stop laughing and was frowning, looking for a way to argue back. Eren started to relax, he was quite sure he had won the argument here and waited for his friends to find an other prank.
Armin was the first to break the silence : " I guess you make a point. I don't want to harm anybody. Jean, you should pick an other forfeit. ".
Yesss. Eren allowed a mischievous smile on his face. He was safe. Who knew being a gentleman could be so great ? Sasha and Connie looked disappointed, but Jean kept frowning in silence. Eren left his right index finger and was just about to poke between his eyebrows when the horseface suddenly broke in a big grin, eyes gleaming with excitement. Eren froze, feeling uneasy.
" I agree Yeager, it would be really rude of us to play such a prank, let's not traumatize a poor girl … I mean, what sensed woman would want to be kissed by you anyway ? " said Jean.
" What the —" "But " cut Jean before Eren could explode, " I didn't asked you to kiss a girl. If you remember correctly, you moron, I asked you to kiss a stranger ".
Jean move his eyebrows playfully with the last words and Armin couldn't hold a giggle. It took five more minutes for Sasha and Connie to figure out what Eren what afraid to understand, and they start giggling too. Really, why was he friend with them again ?
" Okay ", tried Eren, " I think you all agree that being kissed by a stranger in the street is equally offensive if —" .
For the second time that night, he was cut, this time by his best friend :
" Well, I don't think it will be that much of an offense if you kiss a man …. ".
That traitor !
" Come on ", add Kirschtein between two laughs, " we know it don't bother you to kiss a man, dude ! I promise, I will try to find a good one ! What's the worst thing that could be happening ? ".
" Yeah, he's right Eren " said gleefully Sasha, " at worst he will kick your ass ! ".
At that point, Connie was sitting on the ground, laughing like a five years old who heard the chipmunks sing the theme song of the attack on Titan anime. Even his soon to be ex-best friend Armin was smiling. These bastards ! Eren was fuming and opened his mouth to defended himself, only to be cut a third time that night.
" Come on you suicidal bastard " said Jean, " we are used to watch you doing more stupidly dangerous things … don't tell me little Yeager is afraid of a little kiss ? ".
" Woooooouuuuu " sang suggestively Connie and Sasha, sitting next to each other on the ground.
Eren started clenching his fists. Okay, those morons wanted him to kiss a stranger in the street ? No problem. Eren Yeager wasn't afraid of anything (except wasp, thunder, and some other non-so-important-little-things).
" Okay, cut the crap, I will do it ! Just tell me who ! " said Eren angrily.
Both idiots stood up to stand next to Jean and Armin, four friends watching eagerly around them to find " the perfect man " for Eren to kiss, and probably beat the crap out of him.
They were standing in front of Connie's apartment, were they had played card and drinking games for several hours this friday night. It was around 11 pm and the streets were rather deserted. Eren felt a tiny hope rise in his chest.
Maybe nobody will walk the empty street and all his not-so-nice drunken friends would have to pick someone up for him an other day. With enough luck, they even would forget about all this (they all had drink quite a bit and were more than tipsy). Yeah, maybe —
And that was the moment the door of one of the neighbors's house opened for two people : a man and a woman. The four drunk college students hold their breath and Eren sighed. Yeah, he was screwed.
The woman was taller than the man (or rather, he was petite ?), and seemed quite drunk. Also, her appearance could make the trick : with her messy brown hair, her big round glasses and the way she was frenetically waving goodbye to someone inside de the house, she could be either really drunk, crazy, or both.
Oddly, the petite man seemed to be the opposite of the loud woman. He was calmly waiting for her, his eyebrows slightly frowned in a bored expression. His dark raven hair was cut in a very neat undercut, and framed a really pale skin. Despite his small stature, the man seemed quite fitted, and had a " don't mess with me " aura surrounding him. Eren gulped. The man was smaller than him but he had the feeling he could kick his ass really easily. He turned his head to meet the gaze of his friends. All four were grinning like loons.
" Okay Prince Yeager, the not-sleeping-petite-beauty there is awaiting for your goodnight kiss, go for it ! " said the horseface, looking too content of himself. The three other morons nodded enthusiastically and Eren sighed again.
Eren Yeager was not a coward. It was time to prove himself. He turned in direction of the raven, who was still waiting for the crazy woman, and took a big inspiration. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Sasha held her phone at him. Wait, was she recording ?
Okay Yeager, you can do it. You just have to approach him, then you kiss him really quick and the you run the hell out of here. Easy peasy.
He clenched his fists and walked silently until he was facing the raven.
You can do it.
The petite man meet his gaze with one eyebrow raised with curiosity. His eyes seemed dark in the obscurity and his stare was intimidating.
Okay, Sasha is filming, don't chicken out, you can do it !
Eren suddenly bent to the raven, aiming for his lips. Unfortunately, at the same time, the petite man had open his mouth to speak, and Eren lips met with the raven's tong. He heard a big gasp — probably from the glasses woman — and a mix of several noises that suspiciously resembled like laughs.
Eren pull his face up and cached a glimpse of the raven : the man was petrified, mouth opened and eyes widened from the shock. The college student was mortified and turn around to start running when he was violently pulled from the back. He yelped and fell on his butt. When he raised his head, he met frightening vision : the petite man was bent over him, staring at him with pure rage. He opened his mouth and shouted :
" What the ? Why ? Who ? For fuck sake ! You son of a fucking mother of shitty bitch ! "
The petite man continued to yell incoherent words, interspersed with other words so vulgar he didn't even know them. Eren was terrified and pathetically shaking on the ground.
The man was cut in his furious speech by what seems to be an explosion. They both turned their gaze in direction of the noise and saw the crazy woman kneeing on the ground. She was laughing so hard that her glasses were starting to fell of her nose. Her laugh was truly terrifying. It was loud and maniacal, and she didn't really seemed to breath between cackles.
At this point, Eren was beyond fear. His imagination gone wild and tears start to form in the corner of his green eyes.
Oh my god, how can she laugh so hard ? Is she even human ? Doesn't she needs to breath ? Is she going to die ? Can a human die from laughing too hard ? . , are the cops going to charge me with murder for killing a woman by making her laugh ? Am I going to spend my life in jail ? No, the midget from hell over there is surely going to kill me first ! I don't want to go to die, I'm only 23 years old and I never fell in love and I still have one slice of pizza in my fridge and —
" Oi, brat ! " said a deep voice.
He turned to meet the angry gaze of the raven. He gasped and looked back with pleading eyes.
Please don't kill me, please don't kill me, please don't kill me.
" What the hell was that you disgusting bastard ? What crazy son of a bitch run into people to kiss them with their filthy mouth ?! "
" I, uh, I-I …. ", stuttered the college student.
" Oi, stop shitting yourself and listen to me, brat ! You better fucking answer me : do you have had all your shots ? "
Eren blink twice and then stare stupidly at the man frowning in … concern ? Was the man afraid that Eren would infect him ? The man patience seemed to reached his end as he suddenly yanked the college kid by his collar and started shaking him : " HAD YOU FUCKING HAD ALL YOUR SHOTS ?! ".
Eren honestly didn't know but, for the life of him, there was no way he was going to say that so he nodded frenetically and cried : " Yes ! Yes ! My father is a doctor, don't worry ! ".
The older man seemed to be relieved a little and let him go. He went silent for a moment. All Eren could hear was the maniacal laugh behind him — seriously, doesn't this creep need to breath ? — and the sound of his heart beating like crazy in his chest.
The raven kept silent. He seemed in a deep reflexion, eyebrows frowned more than ever, his head slightly tilted to the side. Eren stayed still, feeling to shaky to try to run away and — let's be honest — quite afraid of peeing himself if he tried (one rhum-soda, three beers and being about to be beaten up just didn't mix well).
The raven broke the silence : " Hey shitty brat ! Have you brush your teeth tonight ? "
" Hum … no ? "
The eyes of the older man lighted with fury and he quickly added " but I had alcool, like, a lot, a-and, doesn't alco-ool, kills bacterias, yeah ? "
The raven mouth tore into a rictus and Eren nearly pee himself. Then he took a deep breath. Okay, this is it ! If you don't fight, you lose, and if you lose, you die.
Eren stood up to face the older man, legs shaking but fists clenched and jaw crisped in determination.
" Oh, not bad. Let's see what you've got, brat " said the raven.
