Chapter 1
-Not Right-
"Jaeger?! Jaeger!"
I jolt to the sound of the Corporal's voice. He was leaning over my, trying to avert his eyes from my dirty room. He sighed when I sat up.
"Eren, it's Sunday… you don't have to train, but this room is-" he breathes in, "it's a trainwreck in here…" he moved to open the window.
I nervously squirm out of bed and I look around with embarrassment. "I-I was going to clean… but I-I got distracted."
"With what?!" he sighed and shook his head. He walked to the door and went to open it. "I brought you some help…"
I looked at the door confused. I was still in a haze from waking up early. I see Mikasa walk in and it looked strange to not see her in her uniform, but then i remembered it was a Sunday. She had her eyes glued to the floor and she was blushing slightly. Armin and I haven't seen her in a couple of months. She got moved after visiting with Levi and that was the last we heard of her.
"When you're finished, come to the dining hall."
I nodded and Mikasa quickly moved as Levi left the room. He slammed the door behind him. I look to Mikasa with a light smile.
"You could start over there," I wiped off my smile, "i-if you want!" I didn't want to sound too demanding over her.
She nodded and grabbed the broom as I started making my bed. I watched as she sort of tossed things around; that's right, she doesn't know where anything goes. She grabs an arm-full of clothes and she sits on the bed, prepared to fold them. I choke and look away as shes grabs a pair of my boxers. I clear my throat loud enough for her to look at me. I pointed to the underwear she had in her hand and she frantically blushed and put them down.
"I-I'm sorry!" she grabs a shirt instead and quickly flies through the pile.
It feels kind of awkward having her suddenly help with my room. I wonder what Levi was thinking when he put her in here to assist me. At that sudden thought, my stomach growled. I groaned and grabbed my head.
"I'm so hungry!" did…. I just say that outloud….?! I blush with embarrassment and I look away. Mikasa giggled but her stomach grumbled too.
"You know, we're almost done. I can sweep that corner and we can head out."
She stacked some books but didn't answer. What was wrong with her?
I strolled through the dining hall with a tray in my hand. I sit down at an empty table and Levi plops next to me.
"How's the room?"
"It's finished."
"Was Ackerman a big help? You two haven't seen each other for a while…" he crosses his legs, almost attacking my food.
"Yeah, Corporal. She was a big help." I scoot away slightly. I wonder if anyone has told him he has a bad case of morning breath…?
"C-Corporal?"
I look up at Mikasa. I hated it when she was silent like that, it would scare the shit out of me… it still does.
"Could i sit there…?" Levi easily moved out of the way and casually wandered off. Good riddance you piece of shit…
Mikasa sit down hesitantly and i notice she doesn't have a lot of food on her plate. She was definitely acting strange.
"D-did you get enough to eat?"
I just stared at her empty tray. I wanted to know what was happening with her.
