As usual I do not own Attack on Titan or any of it's characters or plot lines for that matter. This is purely a work of fiction.
(I do own two lovely Attack on Titan shirts and a beautiful survey corps jacket is on the way.)
I want to thank everyone for the positive reviews! I'm glad you guys enjoyed the first chapter! I hope you manage to enjoy this once just as much. Warnings: I listened to perverted songs whilst writing this chapter so be prepared that this is full on pervert mode chapter! (No not sexy times chapter, maybe a bit next chapter...). Anywho Rate/Review so I know your thoughts/opinions on it! They always motivate me to write more and faster!
Now go and enter this lame world of fantasy I have created for you my friends!
Everyone had been training for a few months now and everyday was still a challenge. Today was physical combat with the bandit drill and Eren was sulking over his loss to Annie as well as what she said after it. Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that he would get his ass personally handed to him by the indifferent blonde or how the better at killing titans you were the farther from them you'd be placed. Luckily they had changed the drill to just regular hand to hand combat with the victory condition being pinned down or knocked out. At least there would be no stupid wooden knives this time or predetermined charges; it was fair game for everyone. All of the physical violence also helped Eren get his mind off of Annie and the stupid military system.
Eren was on a winning streak having defeated all of his challengers. Though he did hope that he didn't have to face Mikasa or Annie again, he didn't want to get beat on by a girl for the second time that day. Yes Eren fully acknowledged that his adopted sister and the blonde were both very capable of beating the crap out of him. Which also made him wonder what other girls were stronger than they appeared? Was Christa secretly a body builder? Eren shuddered at the image of sweet little Christa beating up people; it was just downright wrong. As his luck would have it he had encountered his next challenger and it was indeed a girl but not necessarily a scary one or a goddess of kindness.
"Yo!" The busty girl greeted Eren and he gave her a questioning look in return. Why was she challenging him? "Just testing my strength." Skylar stated with a smile and shrug as if she was reading his thoughts.
"Eren." Reiner tapped the younger boys shoulder, "I'm just warning you to watch out. Her fighting style is much different than what you have faced so far. Protect your back." Reiner whispered to Eren before backing away from him muttering good luck to the young male. Eren didn't doubt the older man for a second, Eren knew first hand that the small girl was much stronger than she let on. She had a fighting spirit that intrigued Eren and he had seen it conquer her fear of heights so he had no doubt that spirit could conquer people if needed. No way was he going to go easy on her unless he wanted to get beaten up by her. It probably wouldn't be that bad to have her beat him though, getting pinned down by her would give him a wonderful view down her shirt. God when did he become such a pervert? He wasn't going to purposely lose just to get a bit of cleavage that he could usually see considering he was drastically taller than her. What Eren was trying to say he was going to win with or without boobage. "That sounds horrible. If anyone heard my thoughts they'd think I'm a pervert. What's the whole protect your back thing about anyways?"
Neither of them had to speak up to know their match had started it was like all the friendliness in the air had faded and was replaced with a savageness of sorts. Eren raised his fists and Skylar just charged at him with a yell. Her courage didn't surprise Eren and he was fully prepared not only to block her attack but counter it as well. Only the attack he expected never came instead she ran right past him and grabbed onto his jacket? By the time Eren had realized what Skylar was doing it was already too late; her small size gave her the advantage of speed and made it easy to maneuver out of the way of any counterattacks he could throw her way. The small girl had finally jumped up onto his back her knees squeezing his sides tightly and her large mounds pressing against his back. Though his face was flushed at the feeling his embarrassment didn't last very long as her arm snaked around his neck successfully cutting off the oxygen going to his lungs.
Eren struggled desperately trying to get out of her hold. He was losing air fast and he knew that any moment now he was going to pass out. He had to think of something and quick! He wasn't going to lose so easily to a girl again especially not the tiny little Skylar! Just as Eren thought he was about to lose an idea had dawned on him. Eren threw himself backwards and he hit the ground though his fall was cushioned very nicely by Skylar; her deliciously large boobs was like falling onto a pillow. The moment Eren heard the air get knocked out of her lungs he tore himself out of her currently stunned grasp and rolled away, gasping and panting for air with the girl next to him doing the same. By now a small crowd had gathered obviously wanting to see the outcome of their match. Both of them had gone undefeated so far and this was basically the tie breaker. Who was stronger? Which one of them had a stronger fighting spirit that would conquer the others?
Eren was the first to recover and seized the opportunity using it to his advantage. Everything that happened next was a blur to both Eren and the onlookers, all Eren knew was that it wasn't easy to pin down the small girl. Skylar had put up a decent fight throwing decent punches and even resorted to throwing her legs up and kicking him. Eren knew for a fact he would have bruises later but so would she since Eren didn't exactly hold himself back. Despite the attacks from either party the end result was Eren on top of Skylar. He had the smaller girl pinned down beneath him. Eren was resting on top of her stomach his knees on either side of her waist; his weight alone would easily pin the girl down but that wasn't all Eren had accomplished as well as wanted. His right hand had both of her smaller hands pinned while his left arms' forearm was pressed tightly against Skylars throat but not stopping the airflow. Both of them were panting and had hard glares that quickly softened up as they realized their position was very awkward. That and a certain adopted sister had shown up and roughly pulled Eren away from the blushing girl.
"Well I think that's all the combat practice you need Eren. If you'd like you can fight me instead." The asian girl sent a rather scary glare towards Skylar and left dragging her embarrassed and fuming brother along with her.
"What the hell Mikasa!?" Eren grumbled out as the asian finally let go of him though they were quite far from the combat training area."I was doing so well to!"The male sighed as he was forced to follow his silent and very unresponsive sister along. Was she ignoring him? Just what was she so upset about? Then it finally hit him: Was Mikasa jealous of Skylar? That was certainly a possibility and Eren knew for a fact that the asian did not like him hanging around other girls and definitely not rough handling them."Nah Mikasa is just being a protective sister that's all... Ah who am I kidding I've seen those scary glares." Eren thought to himself idly and continued to follow her not really wanting to make her angry-er.
It had been nearly a month since the fight incident with Mikasa breaking it up. Everything was back to normal once more. Eren, Armin, and Mikasa always spent time together and when Eren was able to pry himself away from his sisters hold on him, he managed to spend time with others including the occasional chat with Skylar. Today was one of those days that Eren could actually spend time with the girl since his sister was currently in a different squad. The commander had separated everybody into small teams trying to figure out what pairings made more efficient titan killers, Mikasa was placed separate from Erens team. In turn Eren had Armin and Skylar in his own team though that could change depending on how well they worked together.
Strangely enough Eren liked being on a different team than his sister. If they were on the same team Eren knew she would go out of her way to protect him and no one else. However the way the teams were at the moment was perfect for Eren. He didn't have to worry about Mikasa stealing the spotlight from him or have to worry about her because he knew for a fact the asian could take care of herself. In addition to being without his sister Eren could look out for his blonde friend and auburn haired friend without trouble from Mikasa. Now Eren wasn't one to brag necessarily but he did have to throw it out there that he was the strongest one on his team since Armin lacked physical skills and Skylar was just simply too small in general.
At the moment Mikasa's team was out getting evaluated on teamwork and efficiency while Erens was on downtime even though they were up next to be evaluated. So the brunette used this downtime to his advantage to talk to the currently elusive Skylar. He and the girl didn't usually talk much and after the whole Mikasa dragging him away thing it made it even harder to speak to her. Eren figured today would be a great way to make up for all the missed opportunities of conversing with her. After much searching Eren had finally spotted the auburn haired girl sitting by herself; Eren quickly approached her.
"Hey what are you doing out here by yourself?" Eren asked as he sat next to her.
"Ehh not much just wanted a bit of alone time that's all. You don't have to go though!" The girl quickly added so as not to be rude. That's one of the many little quirks Eren had learned about the girl through the few brief conversation they had. Occasionally she would just want to sit alone and Eren would allow her not really wanting to bother her. He did often times wonder why she liked to be alone sometimes but she did hang around Sasha a lot. Sasha could be a bit difficult to constantly be with that Eren knew for sure. Sasha probably took all of Skylars food as well; maybe that's why Skylar was so small?
Normally Eren would leave Skylar alone to her thoughts but not today. He was curious about the girl and was going to question her today and try to understand her a bit more. He didn't know much about her other than her strong will; and that wasn't really all Eren wanted to base her off of.
"Why did you want to become a soldier if you are afraid of heights?" Eren being a rather impulsive person couldn't stop himself from asking the question that had been haunting him from day one. Yes this had been bothering Eren for weeks on end as he desperately wanted to know why this girl who was deathly afraid of heights wanted to be a soldier. There had to be some sort of story to that right? That and she already knew his reason of becoming a soldier though so did everyone else in the training camp but that was beside the point.
Skylar sat there stunned for a moment and then laughed a little,"I guess I can tell you but it's nothing awesome and valiant like your reason to be here. I guess mine is kind of selfish and silly now that I think about it.".In response Eren gave her a look as if to say 'go on'.
"I'm from Trost so I've never even really seen a Titan before. Though I was there when many people flooded into the city when the Colossal Titan kicked down the first wall. That was when I saw soldiers actually do their work for the first time. They were zipping and flying through the air like birds!" Eren watched her in awe; she had that same determined look on her face and then it broke out into another one of her infamous smiles."What am I going on about? I guess I'll just cut right to the point. Besides you don't care about my silly past. I guess I wanted to become a soldier so I could use the gear and fly like a bird. I could just fly away from all the trouble and cruelness the world has to offer. I could get out of this cage and do whatever I want with no worries." Skylar turned back to look at Eren, "Stupid I know."
Eren immediately shook his head, "It's not at all I think it's a really nice reason to join!". It was certainly a much more peaceful reason than Eren and his murderous intentions. Two very different reasons yet here they are together becoming soldiers, very determined soldiers. Though in a sense their dreams/goals were the same. Eren did want to kill all the titans not just for vengeance but also because he wanted to see the outside world. Skylar's dream may have already been partially completed considering she could 'fly' now but she couldn't just go anywhere with no worries. She couldn't go past these walls. "Like a caged bird... I'll definitely help her get up and out of here!"
"My turn to ask a question now!" Skylar cut through the silence that enveloped around them. "Are you and Mikasa dating!?"She quickly asked causing most of it to sound like one big word but Eren understood what she was asking.
"N-No No way! We're siblings that would just be weird! She just gets overprotective and a little jealous sometimes. That's all!" Eren responded rather embarrassed that him and his sister were close enough to look like they were dating! Mikasa really needed to start focusing her attentions on something or someone other than Eren, it was getting out of hand; just last week Mikasa and Annie practically had a showdown over him. Now she was cock blocking him with Skylar, wait a minute what was Eren thinking? There was no cock blocking going on considering he wasn't even after the long auburn haired, big breasted, pretty smile, petite, and strong hearted girl. No Eren would much prefer someone like Christa who was as nice as a goddess but had the devil Ymir by her side. "Oh god I need therapy." Eren buried his face in his hands in embarrassment and sheer frustration of his idiotic and testosterone fueled thoughts. This had never happened before! He'd always focused on his goal of killing titans that he had completely neglected his ability of dealing with girls. Hell he just now noticed that Mikasa had an obsession with him; a borderline dangerous obsession!
"I'm sorry it was a stupid question. Besides I uh think it's our teams' turn to go now. You gonna be okay?"Skylar stood and rested a hand on his shoulder. Eren nodded and stood letting Skylar help him up though it wasn't necessary. "Come on don't be so down Eren let's go! Race you to the commander!" Sklyar took off before Eren could even accept her challenge. Of course not being one to lose so easily Eren took off right after her, intent on defeating her once more.
So far all was going well for Eren and his team during their evaluation. They had been working well together and communicating perfectly. They all looked out for each other and eliminated the wooden titans with grace and ease. Everything was going flawlessly until one of them screwed up and the entire thing went to shit. Someone's grapples got tangled with someone else's and considering the small team was travelling all very close together in a small pack it was either go down with the other teammates or try to avoid disaster. Everyone tried to avoid disaster but everyone failed with one exception.
That one exception was Armin. The blonde had managed to avoid tumbling to the ground or smashing into a tree but the others didn't get out as lucky as Armin had. Someone smashed face first into a tree, another was laying across the wooden titan cut out, the rest of their team was sprawled out across the ground, and Eren was? Where was Eren? The intelligent blonde looked around for his friend and also briefly noted that Skylar wasn't in sight either. Perhaps they got tangled up as well but flew into the underbrush instead of the small clearing? He should probably go look for them.
Amongst all the chaos that was created by the grapple entanglement Eren had spotted Skylar who unfortunately was caught in the grapples as well, with someone about to fly right into her; A much larger someone for that matter. She would get smashed into pieces by him! Instead Eren saved the day by throwing himself at her and knocking both her and him out of the other mans collision course with the tree. Eren had locked his grapples onto another tree with Skylar still in his arms, one of his grapples made it to the tree the other one got tangled in the mess of grapple wire that they were trying to escape from. Instead of landing on the tree they swung right by it and tumbled to the ground. When their roll came to a stop Eren didn't have to open his eyes to know he hurt all over. All of him ached and there were bruises and scratches everywhere from the underbrush they had tumbled through. However what Eren really noticed was that his face was in something rather warm and soft, there was also something slightly heavy and cuddly on top of his entire body, and he was holding something firm in his palms?
"Calm down Eren it's not what you think it is. Somewhere in the fall you caught Armin instead and you are holding Armin. Armin likes you more than you know and he threw himself at you." With that rather disturbing thought in his head he opened his eyes only to be greeted by cleavage, lots and lots of cleavage. If cleavage was in his face then his hands were holding her...? Oh god Eren had to untangle them somehow without waking up the currently knocked out Skylar. Briefly Eren couldn't help but think that if Mikasa saw this she would murder him and Skylar both right on the spot.
Removing his hands from the girls rear he moved them upwards to her hips trying his best to gently lift her up and off of him. Luckily he completed the process of removing her from him without waking Skylar once. Hypothetically if she did wake up Eren thought that more than likely he would get punched for touching her indecently even though it was an accident. Eren considered himself lucky that he avoided that conflict rather smoothly until he got a good look at her face as he rolled her over onto her back next to him.
Blood
The warm red liquid was running down the side of Skylars pale face. That certainly explained why she didn't wake up when he moved her. Fear set in Eren's heart as he quickly checked for a heartbeat by pressing his head to her chest. Her heart was beating rather slowly and her breathing was shallow but the small girl was alive.
"Armin! Get over here we have an emergency!" Eren yelled out though he couldn't see his friend anywhere but the blonde had to be near. Even though Skylar was breathing that didn't stop Eren from worrying considering her status could change at any moment. He didn't have the slightest clue as to what other injuries she could have other than the obvious one on her head. A fall like that shouldn't have done that much damage but then again Eren was bigger than her, hell he practically tackled her down in the first place. She was in his arms, she hit the ground first, and not once did it ever cross Eren's mind that he should have shielded her from the fall. If only Eren had thought things through a bit more this probably wouldn't have happened.
"Why am I such an impulsive idiot?"
"Stop worrying so much Eren I'm fine now!" The auburn haired beauty replied as she listened to him fret over her for the twentieth time that day. Skylar had a minor concussion that would heal up in no time but still had to remain in the infirmary. She had only been in there for a few days and would easily be released in another few but everyday Eren showed up apologizing and fretting over her. Only Skylar was an independent type who by no means was used to someone trying to do so much for her. It almost bothered her having so much attention but it also gave her plenty of opportunities to mess with the boy in return.
"But it is kinda my fault that you're in here." Eren retorted and gave her a glare of defiance which the girl more force. "Fine, fine you win this time and here I was trying to be a noble soldier." Eren spoke the truth; he really was trying to make it up to her but the small girl would not allow it. He just felt horrible about it even though she was fine now. She wanted to be out flying not in an infirmary bed with bandages around her forehead. At least that's what Eren thought she wanted so the least he could do was spend time with her and make sure she's comfortable.
"Noble Soldier? Yeah right Eren, I'm not quite sure that is the best way to put it. I think blood seeking, avenging, clumsily coordinated pervert would be the correct way to describe you." Skylar gave him a coy grin her hazel eyes twinkling with humor.
Ignoring the rest of her strange choice of adjectives Eren chose instead to focus on one that bothered him. "I am not a pervert! Walking in earlier was an accident!" Eren growled back as once again memories of earlier that day had resurfaced. Earlier when Eren had came by to visit he had sorta walked in on his comrade as she was changing her clothes. Of course Eren did the right thing and immediately looked away and slammed the door before anything could be thrown at him. However now every chance Skylar got she called him a pervert in a clearly joking way but the joking did bother him. If only she knew exactly how right she was about him being a pervert. Yes Eren Jaeger had finally come to terms with his inner pervert and hopefully it would remain inner now that he acknowledged it.
"I don't know Eren." Skylars playful voice snapped Eren out of his thoughts, "Trying to peek at me while I am defenseless, naughty Eren. I bet you did bad things to me when you had found me unconscious after the accident during team training." Skylar laughed and thankfully didn't notice Erens nervousness at her teasing. After all everything she teased about was kind of true...
He did kind of feel up her ass when she was unconscious, and had his face in between her breasts. That didn't count as bad though right? Eren not being able to lie to her or tell her the truth instead chose a much better alternative option. "Well uh I should be going now." With that said Eren had fled the scene as quickly as possible; leaving Skylar alone.
"That appeared to motivate him a bit, good he needs to stop mulling around over here at the infirmary with me." A soft smile crossed her lips as her plan of getting him out of the infirmary had succeeded. Honestly that boy cared too much about others for his own good. At this rate one of these days he was gonna get hurt by the people around him if he continued to care so much.
"Do you think Christa will ask me to dance with her? Or maybe I should go over there and ask?" Armin questioned aloud to his best friend who sat across from him.
"Go for it Armin. Christa is too nice to reject anyone; the one you really need to watch out for is Ymir." Eren replied and glanced at Armin. Poor guy looked really nervous about going and asking the kind girl to dance with again Armin had to make his move soon or else Reiner would make a move and steal the girl away, or Ymir would beat up Reiner which should give Armin a perfect opportunity to ask Christa to dance. It would still be better if the blonde asked first though.
It was the night of their graduation and it was a custom for the graduates to have a party of sorts after the ceremony. It was the one night where they could celebrate and be relaxed while, dancing, drinking, and finally wearing something else other than their uniforms. Eren, Armin, and Mikasa had all made it in the top 10. Even Skylar had earned her place in the top, she placed eighth just barely surpassing her friend Sasha despite being injured for a week. To think in just two days that everyone would separate and decide where they wanted to go in the three different military branches. It was kind of depressing thinking that after all the hardships of training they went through together; Eren might not see some of them ever again. Oh well at least they had this last night together.
Eren snapped out of his thoughts realizing he was sitting at a table by himself now. Glancing around the brunette searched for his friend and eventually spotted him on the dance floor. Armin was out dancing with Christa! This made Eren smile and happily watch the two blondes dance; they looked a bit awkward but everyone had to start somewhere.
"Eren Jaeger!" Jean growled as he took Armins seat sitting across from Eren. Jean and Eren hadn't really conversed much since Eren had mopped the floor with the taller male. However tonight was not a night for fighting; unless Jean started it then Eren would gladly repeat what happened to Jean last time. Eren was preparing for an argument but instead he got a very strange command from the taller male: "You need to make a decision right now! Are you going to dance with your sister or Skylar? You can't have them both dammit!" Well that certainly surprised Eren, the brunette honestly thought the dirty blonde had come over to pick a fight. Instead the man was demanding Eren to choose a dance partner. Now while some might have considered this a challenge; Eren was not one of them. It was actually something that really made him think about his answer. Originally Eren didn't plan on dancing considering he didn't really know how to but now he felt like he had to go and dance. Eren was very aware of Jeans feelings for Mikasa and the brunette wasn't sure what to think of them. Eren and Jean never really got along but did Eren dislike the man enough to get in the way of a possible relationship forming? Why would Jean even bring up Skylar into this? Was he into the tiny girl? For some reason this made Eren's blood boil.
Quickly Eren glanced around the room spotting both his sister and Skylar. Mikasa was on the other side of the room getting a drink, an angry Ymir by her side. An odd and rather dangerous pairing but Mikasa did need other friends and Ymir could be one. The Eren's eyes fell upon Skylar or the back of Skylars head. The girl was getting fussed over by Sasha? What for? The potato eating girl was leaning over the table and appeared to fixing the small girls shirt, did Sasha just stuff a piece of bread into SKylars mouth?
Finally giving up on making sense of either of the two men Eren instead chose to acknowledge Jean. "Fine I choose..." Eren hesitated trying to think this through. "You can have Mikasa." Eren let his gut feeling choose for him and Eren was content with that decision. Although there were ups and downs to the decision. The negatives were:
1. Jean just got what he wanted.
2. If Mikasa heard about this she would be devastated.
3. Eren had to go and ask Skylar to dance now...
Then Eren thought to the positives of letting Jean have Mikasa for the night:
1. Mikasa might take a liking to Jean now and focus her attention on someone else.
2. Jean and himself may become friends.
3. Dancing with Skylar couldn't be that bad.
Strangely enough Jean and Eren sat around chatting for a few moment after going over a plan of sorts. After all Eren couldn't ask Skylar to dance if Mikasa was watching. Hell if Mikasa was watching she would probably come in and make a big scene or Eren just wouldn't be able to ask in general. Not because he was nervous of asking Skylar but he was nervous about the consequences of doing so if Mikasa saw. All this sneaking around did make Eren feel bad though.
Only a little bit of time had passed since Jean left the table to go search for Mikasa and Eren hadn't spotted either of them for a while now. He had been sitting alone at his table for a while now, Eren was just trying to put off the inevitable by drinking. He wasn't drinking alcohol of course; Eren didn't have the taste for it nor was he old enough to have any. Besides he detested drunkards with Hannes being a wonderful example as to why human beings should not drink. Though Eren was soon greeted by a slightly drunk person.
"Um.. Eren!"
Eren glanced to the voice that he already recognized as Skylars. The girl stood in front of him giving Eren a wonderful sight to see. This was the first time Eren had really seen the girl in her casual clothes and he had to admit he liked it; made her seem more girl than usual. Just like every other girl her dark grey skirt was long and fell to her knees, her white blouse was tucked in with a black buttoned up vest over it that popped out her chest. His turquoise eyes trailed upwards and realized her hair was down for once and it looked like it was as soft as a feather; black ribbons also kept Skylars bangs from falling in front of her hazel eyes. That's when Eren noticed that her face was rosy in color and her eyes a little glazed over. Did she have something to drink?
"More Bread! More Potatoes! More booze! " Sasha's voice was loud from across the room. Well that explained why Skylar looked a bit tipsy, Sasha had probably forced the alcoholic drink upon her friend.
"Will you maybe dance with me?" The tipsy girl wasn't quite as outspoken as usual but more refined. Erens first thought was to just outright reject her and tell her that she was just a little too tipsy for dancing. One look from her pleading hazel eyes had changed his mind, just one dance wouldn't hurt right?
"Wait Skylar I don't know how to dance!" Eren protested as he was lead to the dance floor, before any more protests could escape from his lips the tiny girl responded to him with a large smile.
"That's alright just go with it!"
By now Eren and Skylar had joined amongst the other couples dancing, there was a steady beat that everyone kept. It was like a pulsing rhythm the sound of everyone's shoes tapping against the floor to the melody a violinist had created. It was an upbeat song that truly made you want to dance as well and soon Eren had found himself dancing along to it. One arm wrapped tightly around Skylars waist and his other holding her hand, leading her so to speak. They bounced and they spun everywhere the crowd doing the same. Skylar kept giggling and laughing with every spin that Eren provided, all the bouncing, jumping, and smiling was tiring but Eren continued to do it just to hear that infectious laugh and pretty smile.
Eren continued to lead her and spin her through the crowd of dancers, he noted that she especially liked the spins and did them as often as possible. If Eren could tear his eyes away from her he would have seen that Armin and Christa were dancing the same as him and even Mikasa had finally been convinced into one dance with Jean. Everyone had smiles upon their faces, even Eren managed to grin back at his own giggling dance partner.
Everyone would sleep well tonight.
I hope everyone enjoyed the chapter! I hope it doesn't feel to rushed (I feel like I might have). Training camp is over now bleh time for everything to get all serious now! I also feel like I make Eren a bit to perverted and Mikasa a little bit to much of a scary bitch. Gah if I am you guys need to let me know! If you guys want to see more of other couples let me know and I will write them in ex: Mikasa and Jean? Chirsta and Armin and Reiner? Various other couples that have yet to be brought into the story so far?
Ta da la my lovely readers!
