Day 2: Awkward

The bed felt awfully warm today to Jean; the bed was never this warm usually. Nor did he have a body pillow. If this was a dream, it was a weird one.

'Jean'

Jean swatted in the direction of voice and shoved his face deeper into his pillow.

'Jean, you should wake up.'

"Not now... T' bed's really warm," Jean's voice was muffled by the pillow. He was on the verge of going back to sleep completely.

'Eren, he's not getting up, what do I do?'

'I think you should let him stay like that and wait till the loser wakes up so Shadis has his ass, that's what you should do.'

'Eren! Not only is that cruel but I'll get in trouble too!'

'Ugh, fine.'

'Oi, horseface! Get your ass up!"

Jean jumped out of his dream-like state and collided his and Eren's foreheads; Jean immediately lying back down while holding his bruising forehead.

"Tch- What the hell, Jaeger?"

"What the hell yourself, horse-boy! Get up and off of Armin!"

Off of Armin? What?

And then it hit him.

He had shared a bed with Armin.

He had used Armin as a body pillow.

The person sleeping above him was Eren Jaeger.

Fucking hell.

Sure enough when Jean looked at Armin, one of his legs laid on Armin's own and he hadn't even realized it. Jean jumped up and hit his head on the platform of the top bunk.

"Shit- I'm really sorry Armin!" Jean apologized as he scrambled out of the blankets and stumbled to his feet in front of Eren.

"You li-" Jean started but was cut off by a loud crack as the door to the boys' dormitory was kicked open by none other than Shadis himself.

"YOU GOD DAMN SLACKERS AREN'T EVEN FULLY DRESSED YET AND YOU'RE MAKING A RUCKUS?"

All three of the boys gulped nervously as their eyes widened at the sight of Shadis angry so early in the morning. Shadis' footfalls echoed throughout the dorm as he made his way towards the trio. All the other boys in the dorm made their way to get out as soon as possible without garnering attention from the bald horror stomping around like it was no tomorrow. As soon as Shadis was in an arm's approximity, the three boys' hearts were pounding so wildly, it wouldn't have been a surprise if Shadis himself could hear it. Shadis' eyes focused on Jean and Eren's foreheads where the skin began to swell a bit and become darker.

"LOOKS LIKE THE TWO DIPSHITS WERE BUTTING HEADS AGAIN?"

Shadis continued as his cold stare went from Jean and Eren to poor Armin, still in bed, "ISN'T THAT RIGHT, YOU FUCKING LAZY ASS ARLERT?"

-Time Skip to Later That Day-

"And it's all your fault that we have kitchen duty and no dinner today, Jean. I should just skin you right here and now," Eren pointed the potato peeler at Jean.

"Now, now Eren, Jean didn't mean to do this," Armin tried to douse the fire Eren was going to start but to no avail.

"It's your fault for yelling so loudly, you little shit," Jean hissed through gritted teeth as he knicked himself with the peeler again.

Eren was about to retalliate when Armin spoke up, "You didn't actually have to yell that loud, Eren..."
Astonished, Eren's eyes widened and he spoke up, "You're taking Horseface's side?!"

"I'm not taking any sides, you both should just apologize because it's not like we can get out of duty and no dinner," Armin stated simply as he continued to peel the potatoes neatly.

Both Jean and Armin were somewhat embarassed with themselves as they screwed their faces up with bitterness and continued their job in silence. It was one thing to be reprimanded but it was another thing to be reprimanded so honestly by none other than Armin.

"But y'know Jean, your feet get really cold during the night. It doe-"

"Shut up!"
