Moron
Ever since we were younger, my best friend has always been Eren Yeager. Him and I had grown up together in the small village right near the outer walls. We were inseparable, not Mikasa's type of inseparable…because that was kind of creepy, though him and I had strong devotion for one another.
Though despite all of that, despite all that we went through together…
He had always been an insufferable moron.
The first time I noticed this was when he tried to fight off my bullies. Sure, he had good intentions, but the thing was, he never noticed that he wasn't exactly the reason why they ran away. The reason they always ran away was because Mikasa was always following right behind him. They were scared of her because of the fact that she always had a threatening look in her eyes and a menacing tone in her voice…. And he never noticed this.
What a moron.
The second time I noticed this was when we first made it inside Wall Rose. Sure, we were peasants. Yes, we were children. And yes, we were dependant on the government for food. And Eren didn't exactly understand that. He thought that we were parasites, and that he was the only person who didn't depend on him… was he stupid?
What a moron.
The third time I noticed this was when Eren decided that is was a good idea to brag at the training camp. He bragged and bragged the whole night through, as if he was some hot-shot. As if he could take the titans with arm… he was so set on the fact that his mother's death didn't bother him at all. I knew that it bothered him. And when Jean called him out on this, I actually had to agree with him.
What a moron.
The fourth time that I noticed this was the next day when we had to do training for the maneuver gear. He fell flat on his head, and did a complete 180-degrees turn. He had bashed his head off of the floor, blood leaking from a horrible scrape on his head. I could hear the laughter in the background.
What a moron.
The fifth time that I noticed this, was when I was bawling, my body trembling as I watched him devoured by a titan. He saved my stupid-ass because of the fact that I was his best friend. He saved me because of the fact that he pitied me, and the fact that he thought that I couldn't protect myself. If only I had come up with a plan… if only I could have thought of something that could have saved all of us. Thomas, Mina, Eren… and I was going to die now.
What a moron.
Though the next time that I saw him, he was the savior. He was giving us a way to finally take back what was ours. He was the thing that he despised so much; a titan. But by being one… he gave us a chance, he gave us a shot. And after all was through… maybe we wouldn't have to be scared anymore. Maybe we would be able to live a normal life, without having the grim reminder in our minds that titans were going to kill us.
Sure, he was the savior of humanity.
But he was still my moron.
