Erin came to hazily her eyes still filled with sleep and her brain still half asleep. She felt heavy and slightly hung-over. All she could remember was going out and having a few drinks last night; then everything went black. The last time she had been in such a state was her first night as a college student; god she had partied hard that year. Good times.

She didn't recall going home with Mikasa nor Armin; hell she didn't even know how she got home. A feeling of fear ran through her at that thought; what if she wasn't even home? Who in the hell's house was she at and how would she get home from here? Did she have a bus pass or cash for a taxi? We buses even running at this time?

"Shit! Shit! Shit!" Erin mentally panicked anxiously as these thoughts ticked through her head. How did she allow herself to get into this mess?! God she needed to think about things before she acted.

Suddenly she heard a very sexy, sleepy moan from beside her. She stopped panicking and her eyes widened. That voice...unmistakably belonged to a female. So she had managed to have a one night stand with a girl? She felt a little more relaxed knowing this; as females tended not to brag about one night stands. They just didn't feel the need to boast like guys did; just common knowledge.

She looked over to have a look at the girl she had slept with. She prayed to god it wasn't one of those Barbie dolls or make-up caked wannabe's. She hated girls like that; they were just so fake.

As soon as she did she had a heart attack all over again; god someone was laughing at her right now she knew it. Fuck her life; fuck her life, fuck her life. Beside her was none other than Jeanne Kirstein; her rival and on/off friend. She didn't particularly hate Jean or anything; it was just she didn't like her attitude. The girl seemed to wave her pride in her face like she was the queen of Sheba.

When she wasn't being a stuck up, annoying prick Jeanne was actually pretty ok; funny, helpful and a good leader. It's just that her ability to mock people and act like she was better than them pissed people off. Long story short Jeanne was like coffee; loved by some hated by others. A refined taste and yet known by so many; but not everyone wanted to have a piece of her.

"How the hell did I end up having a one night stand with horse face?!" Erin mentally yelled. God she must have been wasted to have done such a thing; especially to not end up beating the shit out of her for trying to. She sat up quickly causing the latter to release another sleepy moan. Erin mentally cursed herself for even being aroused by that moan; but it was a pretty damn erotic sound.

She could worry about what happened later; for now she had to worry about finding her clothes and coat. She could take a shower when she got back and get rid of the evidence of what had happened.

Slowly Erin edged away from Jeanne trying hard not to wake her up. She had a feeling if she did Jean would rip her head off and things would erupt into a large argument of whose fault this was.

Erin felt relief wash over her when she managed to get one foot out of bed; the sheet slipped off her but she didn't care. She didn't have any shame in walking about nude; just about what had happened. "Going somewhere?" a voice said curiously the tone hinted with annoyance and flirtation.

Erin jolted and panicked all over again; Jeanne was awake meaning her attempt to quietly sneak out was blown out of the water. "N...Not particularly" Erin muttered nervously. She was lying of course but she couldn't exactly leave immediately now that Jean was awake.

Jeanne frowned crossly; she knew Erin was lying and the fact that she was hurt. Did she hate her so much that she was willing to leave her without saying a single word? She clicked her teeth in annoyance and sat up flashing her upper torso. It's not like there was anything to be ashamed of; I mean they had just had sex and all.

"Typical Yeager; you really hate having to take responsibility for anything" Jeanne snapped crossly. When it came to intimate matters Erin tended to avoid the subject; acting like it never happened. Usually that would have been fair enough; but it tended to cause problems for the other half of the party should rumours arise. Erin being Erin would avoid all conflicts and not do anything to help the other person; unless she felt obligated to.

Erin shot her an annoyed expression "What?!" she snapped sharply. She had just slept with her rival! What was she supposed to take responsibility for? They were both drunk after all so she wasn't the only one at fault.

Jeanne's frowned deepened "Any time you flirt or get interested in someone; you brush them off or push them away like it meant nothing!" she responded crossly.

Erin had had a one night stand before with Sasha; of course they joked it off but things were awkward for a while. Sasha was still clingy with Erin but only in a friendly way; however the subject was avoided for 2 months.

Another time was with her ex crush Levi Ackerman. That one was more awkward because it was her friend Mikasa's uncle. They refused to bring it up but Levi teased her relentlessly about it. Leaving Mikasa to deal with the humiliation of what had happened.

"Is everyone just like your personal fuck buddy? You have a bit of fun then fuck off as soon as it's over?! Great way to treat someone Erin!" Jeanne snapped bitterly. One night stands weren't exactly something to brag about; but blaming it on the other party entirely or treating them coldly wasn't very fair either. She was still a human being; not some toy you used then got bored of.

Erin flinched and bowed her head quietly; she hated that things had gone down with Sasha like they had. She was just glad that they put it behind them and were still talking; the same went for Levi "I...It's not like that Jean; that was never my intention. I...It's just that..." she trailed off quietly.

Jeanne hated her or so she believed; like she said they were frenemies. Sure they studied together in college but after that they parted ways. She got her own place as did Jean and they barely ever saw each other. So how in the hell were they in this situation? It's not like she planned it or anything; in point of fact she hoped she had crashed on the lawn or the couch and fallen asleep.

"Just what Yeager? You're too good for me?" Jeanne muttered hurt evident in her voice. They came from the same background; both loving families and moderate lifestyles. Neither of them was better than the other; in point of fact they were equal.

Yes Jeanne admitted she acted like an asshole; but after her childhood who wouldn't be. She was teased as an adolescent for acting like a guy; she tried to become more feminine only to get teased more. She was teased for being curvy as a child too; so she lost weight until she was happy with her body.

She became the way she was to protect herself and to hide her insecurities. If anyone no had met her back then they would have teased the crap out of her. The only people who knew the truth about why she was this way were Connie and her cousin Marco.

Erin stiffened and swallowed nervously "I...you...it's just...don't you hate me?" she asked cautiously. The way Jeanne acted so cold towards her and so bitchy; it made her think that Jean hated her guts completely.

Jeanne sat there quietly but her expression softened; yes she admitted her relationship with Erin was Rocky but she didn't hate her. Yes the fact that she was stubborn didn't help; but she just got tired of Erin's impulsive suicidal attitude.

There were times Erin put herself in so much danger that she worried that she would one day find her in A&E. The fact that she made her friend Armin and her sister figure Mikasa worry about her was thoughtless. Erin had people who loved and worried about her; the fact that she let herself get into such situations was stupid. In her defence Erin was far from stupid; but she tended not think before she acted.

She sat up slowly but looked at Erin blankly her expression somewhat stunned "Erin I don't hate you" she explained bluntly. Yes she admitted she wasn't kissing Erin's ass but she didn't hate her either; which is what made them frenemies and on/off allies.

Erin looked at her equally as shocked; she then moved closer to Jean a look of relief in her eyes. "Seriously?! But you act like a bitch most days" she said bluntly. She immediately regretted saying that as Jeanne gave her a pissed off look; but she said nothing. She was not earning brownie points with what she was saying.

Jeanne sighed heavily "I'm not exactly good with dealing with people I don't know. As a kid when I tried to make friends with people they teased the crap out of me for being a little chubby" she explained hesitantly.

Marco Bodtt; Jeanne's childhood friend became her support post during her childhood. When kids would call her cruel names or throw things at her; he would always cheer her up. Thanks to him she became more confident and outspoken; compared to her past introverted self.

Erin gave her a look of disbelief; she never would have guessed Jeanne to have dealt with such things. It gave her a bit of understanding into why Jeanne acted like she did; it was like a form of self defence.

"I'm sorry...I had no idea" she said sympathetically. She had never been bullied as a child because she was so tomboyish and other kids were too scared of her. However it seemed Jeanne had not been so lucky.

Jeanne shrugged "Nothing you could have done; Kids are jerks. It's in the past but sometimes I still deal with self consciousness" she explained quietly. Jeanne was happy with her current curves; breast and waist size. She was healthy and not too overweight which she was happy with.

Height 5'8"; which made her look intimidating to others and gave her an advantage should someone try and start something. Waist size she was a size 8-10 which was an average body size and healthy. She had nice curves in her waist (and apparently a great butt) due to her love of long walks and exercise.

Now as for bust Jeanne was not exactly lacking in the department; at age 13 she developed boobs which got bigger in her mid teens. She was a 32D cup which she both took pride in and had problems with. She would easily be able to nourish kids in the future if she wanted to have some; and she had a great body. However it meant when guys spoke to her they mainly stared at her chest which pissed her off.

Erin smiled gently "You're tougher than you get credit for" she teased playfully punching Jeanne's shoulder gently. The fact that Jeanne had put up with all that crap as a kid and come out stronger took a lot of strength. Kudos to her for being able to stand up for herself as she became a teenager.

Jeanne chuckled "You bet I am Yeager; it's why I was able to fuck you so well last night. I'm a natural dominant" she teased playfully winking at Erin. As she got older Jeanne had become a master of flirting and seduction; while sometimes she was awkward when she put her mind to it she was very skilled.

Erin felt her cheeks heat; the idea of being fucked hard into the mattress by Jeanne's fingers and tongue didn't sound too bad. She just wished she had been a bit more sober to fully enjoy it. A small tingle of heat teased her core as the images appeared in her brain; she bit her lip trying not to look to obvious.

Jeanne smiled at Erin's reaction; she was so fucking cute. Erin was so cute when she was embarrassed; and the fact she tried to hide it made her cuter. In all honesty she had been into Erin for a while; but she kept it to herself. There was something hot about Erin's fieriness and protective nature over those she cared for.

That and she had the most stunning green eyes Jean had ever seen. They were so alluring she could never look away. The fact that she had a great body and legs that could walk a mile; didn't hurt either. The fact that she had finally gotten a taste of Erin made her happier than she had been in a long time; but she did wish she had been sober at the time.

Jeanne hesitated then started fingering a strand of her hair; it's not like it was a bad time to say it. And at least Erin would know she was serious about her; that this wasn't just some drunken hook up. She licked her lips awkwardly "Say Erin..." she said shyly her hazel eyes pinned to the mattress. She couldn't look Erin in the eye while saying this.

"Hmm?" Erin responded quietly her cheeks still flushed. When she saw Jean's flushed face she was shocked all over again but also somewhat excited. Jeanne was crimson in the cheeks and her eyes were intense with fear and anxiety. Seeing her like this was both adorable and shocking; I mean Jean did get flustered but never full on embarrassed.

Jeanne continued playing with her hair and curled her big toes over each other. Her heart was racing in her chest and she was so nervous; she wished she could have said this before now but she had to say it.

"I...I..." Jeanne stammered awkwardly her heart pounding. She felt like she had an invisible audience staring at her while she confessed. God this was so fucking scary; but she couldn't back out. She knew if she didn't someone like Reiner or Annie would snatch her up; Reiner was always flirting with her and Annie was just so forward. If she stayed quiet she would lose Erin to someone else.

Erin shifted on the bed to fully face Jean; she forgot about her embarrassment of being nude and sat cross legged in front of her. Her green eyes twinkled with curiosity and eagerness. Was she going to apologize or ask her if they could be friends? I mean making peace wasn't a bad idea in all honesty; they were almost adults for Christ's sake.

"I...I like you Erin" Jeanne yelled loudly snapping her eyes closed. She gripped her knees tightly and hid her face in her knees. God kill her now; this was so embarrassing. She said it; she finally said it!

There was a long silence between the two of them; if someone dropped a nail you would clearly hear it. Awkward tension filled the air as the realization of the situation hit them.

"WHAAAT!" Erin cried out eventually her voice very loud. Jean her ongoing frenemy and rival had a crush on her? For how long? Since when? Was this some kind of joke?!

Jeanne gave her an annoyed look at how loud she was being in the morning but said nothing. Her cheeks were redder than a raspberry and she looked rather uncomfortable.

Erin moved even closer to Jeanne causing the latter to stiffen. Erin's expression wasn't so much shocked as she was curious. She wasn't mad at Jeanne for liking her (she was human after all) but why didn't she say anything.

"How long?" she asked firmly. She needed to know now. If it was just a few months then it was no big deal; however if it was longer that that then it was a bit more serious than that.

Jeanne looked away avoiding eye contact; was this a dream? It just had to be! There was no way in hell Erin liked her back too right? But her eyes were unreadable so she had no idea of what Erin was thinking or feeling.

Erin clicked her teeth crossly "JEANNE! HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN INTO ME?!" she demanded angrily. While yes she couldn't stand Jeanne sometimes; she had to admit she had her cute moments. When she sulked or got embarrassed; Erin swore she melted into butter. The cute situations with jeanne were few but very memorable.

Like she said before Jeanne was capable of being an annoying fucking bitch; but she was very endearing and had a good heart. It was what Erin admitted about her; the fact that she knew somewhere deep down Jeanne was a good person.

"SINCE HIGH SCHOOL" Jeanne snapped angrily. If anyone else knew she had been into Erin since they were in High school people would tease the shit out of her. But out of all her crushes; Erin was the one she never got over.

Erin's face went pale and her mouth dropped; Jeanne had been in love with her the last 4 years? Why the hell hadn't she said anything to her? Granted she knew she wasn't the easiest person to approach but still; not even a love letter?!

As a response she grabbed Jeanne's shoulders causing her to jump "YOU MEAN FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS; YOU'VE BEEN IN LOVE WITH ME?!" Erin yelled loudly shock evident in her voice. This was a lot to handle; she had just had a one night stand with someone she thought hated her. Only to learn she had been harbouring feelings for her for the last 4 years. God her head was fucking spinning.

Jeanne went quiet; she wasn't used to being this close to Erin. Even now she could feel her heart racing and her body tingling. Even right now with how mixed her emotions were; Erin was still fucking hot. She swallowed nervously; yelling wasn't going to help anything. Drinking coffee or something and sitting in her bed would help make this situation less stressful. Continuing a yelling match would get them nowhere.

"Erin..." she started quietly. She licked her lips nervously; she prayed to god that her neighbours wouldn't complain. While she had her own small apartment her neighbours could be annoying snitches.

Erin looked intently into her eyes; was she going to kiss her? God she couldn't think normally anymore. She was too blown away by the situation. It was like being in a dream; only it was actually happening.

Jeanne sighed heavily "How about I make some coffee; then we can at least talk about this normally" she suggested firmly. After all this; they both needed it and a hot shower.

Erin hesitated then agreed and let go; right now coffee would do her some good. She could at least contemplate the situation a bit better.

Jeanne slowly got out of bed not bothering to pull on any clothes; her long ash brown hair tumbled across her chest. Erin felt her heart leap at the sight of Jeanne's body; she really did have a nice one.

After Jeanne left Erin collapsed backwards onto the bed sighing heavily. Her head was spinning and she had no idea of how to feel. She wasn't angry or upset by any means; just deeply shocked and confused.

"Jeanne...likes me?" she muttered quietly under her breath. Never in her life did she think she would ever say those words. This was definitely not the way she planned her Friday morning to start; at least she could have time to think at her shift tonight. Levi her ex-crush had opened a diner with his best friend Hange and had hired her.

She rolled over onto her front so she was buried into the sheet and mattress; it smelt like sex and Jeanne. Her face flushed at the fact they had obviously had a very passionate night together. She only wished she could remember some of it and now if she did ok or if Jeanne enjoyed it.

Erin sighed heavily; she needed that coffee and now. Her brain was alive with every feeling possible; and it was wearing her out. "How the hell did I get into this?" she muttered quietly.

She didn't regret what had happened; not at all. Like the saying goes "Shit happens" but that didn't mean she had no intention of not wanting to understand how it happened. She liked to know the facts instead of panicking like an idiot.

But she had a feeling...this was gonna be one interesting story.
