"Really, again?, Connie raised an eyebrow at her.
"What?", Sasha replied with a mouth full of brownie and spraying crumbs everywhere.
"Are you ever not hungry?"
"Plenty of times, unless I eat while I sleep"
"Whatever you say, Pota-"
"Don't say it"
"What, Potato Girl?, he had a mischievous look in his eye which disappeared when he suddenly found himself in a headlock.
"Take it back cue ball"
Connie struggled against her hold, he may have finally caught up with her in height over the past year but she still had a slight edge on him in terms of physical strength.
"Unnghhhh, dammit, you win, I take it back, I TAKE IT BACK!". She released her grip on him and Connie scanned around to make sure no one saw their little episode. He breathed a sigh of relief seeing that the surrounding strangers either took no notice or weren't interested in the fact that he lost a small test of strength against a girl.
A few minutes later they both arrived at the registration desk. Having taken a few moments to skim read over their respective documents they both finally came to their accommodation pack. Connie would be sharing with two other people, he didn't bother reading their names he just hoped they wouldn't cause him any grief. Sasha on the other hand took some time to read over her pack. Since she was in a smaller apartment she would only have one roommate: Historia Reiss, a nursing major from the neighbouring state of Sina. "I'm gonna go ahead and get settled in, I'll text ya later, Okay?", Connie announced, disrupting Sasha's train of thought.
"Hmm?", she looked up, "Yeah, sure thing" giving her friend a quick hug.
Connie picked up his luggage and headed towards his apartment.
Sasha's apartment was several floors up and she thanked her blessings that the elevator wasn't out of order in the girls' dormitory she had just received a text from Connie that this was not the case in the boys' one. Connie joked that he could use the exercise due to him overindulging on the cookies she baked for their bus journey to Trost. She struggled to contain her laughter in the elevator looking at the updates her friend sent her as he continued his journey up four flights of stairs with his burdensome luggage in tow.
She put her phone away as the elevator doors opened on the sixth floor. Making her way to the apartment she noticed that the door was already open. "Remember, if your roommate gives you any trouble, I'm literally just a quick text away from teaching her some manners".
"Ymir, that probably won't be necessary"
"Still, if she touches a single hair on your head, I'll shave hers bald."
Sasha stood in the doorway looking at the two girls. One was a tall brunette, her shoulder-length hair was done up in ponytail with her fringe drooping over her eyes. The other was considerably shorter. Long blonde hair extended pass her shoulders while her eyes were deep pools of blue. In Sasha's mind she was the most beautiful girl she had ever seen.
Both girls hadn't noticed her yet so she cleared her throat a little. They turned around, the blonde smiled at her while the brunette gave her a sullen look. "Oh, hi you must be Sasha, I'm Historia and that's Ymir, she was just leaving." The tall brunette started towards the door as she walked by Sasha she turned her head to her "I meant every word I said", doing little to hide the threat in her voice.
"YMIRRRRR", Historia crossed her arms.
Ymir turned around and raised her arms concedingly with a small smirk on her face before exiting the apartment.
"Sorry, about Ymir, she's just overprotective"
"Y-you don't say", Sasha replied beginning to regain her composure.
"So, Sasha, what are you studying, sorry I forgot what it said in the accommodation pack", she smiled and raised her big blue eyes up at her. God, she really was small Sasha thought to herself.
"Oh, uh culinary arts with management", she began to twirl her hair while blushing.
"Wow, are you going to be a chef?"
"Hopefully, and you, Nursing was it?"
"Yep, so is Ymir".
Sasha began to bring her luggage into the apartment before Historia began to help her.
"Thanks, but you don't need to do this"
"It was the least I could do considering my friend basically threatened you before even getting to know you"
"Don't worry about it, I've faced off against scarier things"
"I like your accent where are you from"
"Thanks, I'm from Dauper, grew up on a farm".
Having brought the last of Sasha's luggage in both of them took a seat on the couch. Sasha took a container from her luggage, opened it before offering Historia a few cookies; "Here, I made them myself and I've more than enough left".
"Thank you, you're sweet", Historia gave her a warm smile
"Consider it your reward for helping" she returned her new roommate's smile.
Historia took a bite from the cookie and her eyes lit up "Wow, you said you made these?", Sasha nodded, "Well if these are anything to go by you will make a great chef". Sasha just blushed.
"So, which room would you like, Sasha?"
"I really don't mind", how could anyone be this kind-hearted, Sasha thought to herself.
"Well, how about you pick first and I'll take the other, I really don't mind".
"I guess I'll take that one", she pointed to the room on the left hand side.
"No problem"
Both girls began moving their luggage and personal effects into their respective rooms.
After packing everything away Sasha came out of her room to see Historia talking on her phone. "I'm serious Ymir, it was really mean what you did...I know that I-...I love you too but threatening my roommate when she's barely in the door, and on our first day too, is a funny way of showing it...it's alright I forgive you…", her cheeks suddenly blushed and after noticing Sasha her cheeks turned an even darker shade of red. "I'll see you later, promise me you'll at least try to get on with your roommate, please...okay love you too, bye", she hung up her phone and turned to Sasha.
"Sorry to subject you to that", Historia gave Sasha her signature warm smile.
"It's alright, hey I almost forgot to ask, I'm meeting up with a friend of mine for lunch, care to accompany me?"
"I don't see why not, beats sitting around here all day"
"Great", she whipped out her phone and sent a quick text, receiving a quick reply not a minute later "Huh, looks like he's bringing his two roommates along with him too".
"Ah, the more the merrier"
"I guess", Sasha grabbed her key while Historia picked up her purse.
"What's so funny?", Marco turned to his friend
"Oh, buzzcut got totally owned by that girl", Jean gestured to their right.
"What time does registration close at?"
"Relax, you've got two hours left, why didn't you do it online last night like I did?"
"Wifi went down as soon as I logged into my account"
Jean laughed "Just your luck, eh?"
"You know it".
After arriving at the registration desk Jean only had to pick up his key while Marco would take a solid ten minutes to complete registration. "Hey man, don't wait up"
"You sure, it's no issue?"
"Do you really want to miss out on first dibs because I need to register?"
"Good point, drinks later?"
"Sure thing"
Jean hadn't bothered to see who his roommates were. He was relieved to find the apartment hadn't been opened yet as he had to turn the key twice to unlock and open the door. He made no delay placing his effects in his room of choice. He took out his iPod dock and after setting it up turned on a playlist from his Spotify. Kygo blasted through the apartment as he began unpacking his clothes.
During this time he hadn't noticed he was no longer alone in the apartment. As he walked out of his room he got a small jump from seeing someone sitting on the couch. The stranger stood up and Jean could not get over his intimidating size. "Pleased to meet you, name's Reiner Braun", he offered his hand "I see you've already made yourself at home". Jean met his hand, "Jean Kirchstein, are you one of the roommates?".
"No, I'm just some randomer who just decided to make himself at home", he smirked.
Jean gave him a blank expression, neither boys said anything for a few minutes. Reiner finally broke the awkward silence; "Has Jaeger arrived yet?". Jean just raised his eyebrows. Reiner sighed, the smallest hint of frustration escaping with it "Eren Jaeger, our other roommate?". Jean's expression didn't change. "Whatever he'll probably be here soon", Reiner looked down at his phone "Ugh, you've gotta be kidding me, I'll be back in a few minutes, my friend needs a little assistance, are you okay?".
Jean was clutching his stomach a pained expression on his face. I knew something didn't feel right about that burrito, he thought to himself. "It's fine, don't worry about it".
"Hey, if you're not feeling great I can call the campus infirmary"
"No, I'll be fine just a bit of indigestion"
"I need to run out, text me if you're feeling worse".
Jean suddenly sprinted towards the bathroom and locked the door behind him. Reiner just shrugged and headed out.
