It was late morning and Historia opened her eyes. Her head was pounding and she groaned in pain while rolling over to Ymir who was laying next to her, still asleep.
"Oh my head….", she mumbled and took a look at her girlfriend.
She rolled on top of her, laying her head on the other girl's chest and moaned in pain.
Ymir opened her eyes when she heard the painful voice.
"Mhh…good morning, goddess~…", she whispered and stroked through her hair while caressing her back with the other hand. "Are you okay?", she asked with a really tired voice and her eyes closed again slowly. Historia groaned and whined quietly: "My head feels like it's about to explode…"
"I can get you a pain-killer if you want…", Ymir answered and yawned.
"Yes please, I'm dying….", the small girl whined and rolled off her, burying her face in the pillows.
The freckled girl got up and walked staggering to the bathroom to get the pills.
"Oh, good morning Ymir! How was yesterday's party?"
Her mother was in the bathroom, getting herself ready for the day.
Ymir groaned and held her forehead. "Was….nice?", she mumbled, still dizzy from the night before.
Her mother laughed. "Oh I see, pain-killers?", she asked and Ymir nodded.
"How is Historia?" – "The pain-killers are for her. I'm just damn tired, I guess her little body isn't made for so much alcohol.", Ymir laughed and grabbed the pills.
"Take care of her!" – "I will!"
She walked back and saw the little blonde buried in her pillows and the blanket.
"Here, take those.", the taller girl said and sat down next to her.
Historia peeked through the pillows with tired eyes. "…thank you…", she mumbled and took the pill Ymir gave her together with a glass of water.
She watched her taking the pill and she felt insecure. She had to ask.
"Uhm…Historia?", she started and the addressed girl looked at her. "Yes?"
"So…do you remember what happened yesterday?", she asked with a slight afraid expression.
Historia raised her eyebrows with a questioning expression. " Huh? Uhm, not everything I guess. I had quite much drinks, I never had that much before, I'm pretty sure… I was always afraid to get too dizzy when I was with Reiner, you know?", she said, still looking at Ymir questioning.
""Oh, I see… (She can't remember…guess she was just too drunk, I'm such an idiot to think that she's in love with me…)" Ymir sighted. She felt heartbroken but then she felt a soft hand on her cheek, caressing her gentle. "Huh?", she looked up and saw Historia smiling and leaning in to her.
"But what I definitely remember is what happened between us~…", she whispered before placing a loving kiss on the other girls lips. Ymir felt her heart jump and a bright smile formed on her face.
"Good, that would be really sad if you couldn't remember that you love me!", she grinned and covered up the fact that she was pretty insecure before.
She leaned in for another kiss with Historia responding to it while wrapping her arms around the freckled neck of her opponent.
"Hey you two, I made some-….oh. Ooooohh…!"
Both girls were letting go of each other and looked over to the door, where Ymir's mother was standing with two cups of tea in her hands.
"Mom! Why don't you knock?", Ymir started and Historia was chuckling behind her with blushed cheeks. "Maybe because your door is wide open and because I was able to see you anyway?"
The elder woman laughed and put down the cups on Ymir's desk.
"I see, you have to tell me everything about it later Ymir! Have fun you two, I have to go now. See you in the evening!", she said and winked at her daughter and Historia before walking downstairs and leaving the house. Ymir sighted loudly and let herself fall down on the pillows with her face ahead. "Hey, what's wrong?", Historia asked and laid down again, still waiting for the pain-killer to fully work. "Nothing…", she mumbled and sighted again.
"Sure, that's why you are laying face down on your pillow."
"I wanted to tell her proper, but now she knows everything without me even tell a word about us."
"Nawww… come on, we can tell her in the evening together, huh?", Historia smiled lovely.
"Mh…okay."
Historia's phone rang and in the first moment she panicked but when she saw that it was Sasha who was calling she let out a loud sight.
"Hey, what's up? Did you made it home to Connie?", she asked and leaned against the wall.
Ymir lay down, her head on the other girls lap with closed eyes.
She smiled satisfied when she felt Historia's fingers run through her semi-short hair, caressing her gentle.
"Hey! Yep, we made it. After a few wrong turns, but we made it! Uuuuhm I wanted to ask if you two were interested to go to the funfair? It's in town for this weekend and Connie asked me if we will go. We would be happy if you guys would join us!", Sasha said with an expectant voice.
"Uhm, I'll ask Ymir, one second please!", she said and looked down to the dozing girl on her lap.
"Ymir? Hey, Ymir!", she said but she didn't react. Historia stopped with her hand and it worked.
A dark, tired voice was to hear: "…uuh…don't stop, please…"
"So you're awake! Ymir, listen, hey!", the smaller girl said and poked the other girls nose with her fingertip. "Mh…what's it?", Ymir groaned and peeked up to her girlfriend.
"Sasha asked if we want to go to the funfair with Connie and her. I would like to go!"
Ymir raised an eyebrow. "Funfair? Don't know…" Historia pouted: "Oh pleeeeaaaase….!"
The freckled girl sighted. "Mh, alright…everything for my queen…", Ymir said, still half asleep.
"Sasha? We will join you! When and where?", she asked with a happy smile on her lips.
"Great! Let's meet at 3pm at the entrance, okay?", Sasha said and Historia confirmed.
"Get up, sleepyhead! Let's get ready, ok?", Historia sad and stroked Ymir's head.
"Didn't you had a bad headache?", she asked, still with closed eyes.
"Sure, I had. But your pain-killer is working and I bet the fresh air will be good for us. So get up!"
"Alright, alright…", Ymir sighted and rolled off her.
Historia grinned and stood up, pulling Ymir with her.
"So! Can you give me some towels, please? I would like to take a shower.", she asked.
Ymir grinned and kissed her neck. "Of course, what about taking a shower together…?"
Historia swallowed hard. No, she wasn't ready for things like this.
"Uhm…", she started and looked down. She was curious to see the well-build, tanned girl naked, but she felt fear inside her to show herself naked to Ymir.
She was afraid to get flashbacks when Ymir would touch her naked body, so she denied.
"I'm sorry, but I would like to shower alone…don't be angry, ok?", she said and took a step back.
Ymir was disappointed, but she would never dare to force her to something.
"Okay, next time maybe.", she simply said and gave her a warm smile.
Historia just smiled back and walked off to the bathroom after Ymir gave her the towels.
"They invite us and are too late, great.", Ymir complained and let out an annoyed sight.
"Ymir, don't be such a grumpy old bear!", Historia said and pouted angry while looking to her girlfriend. "Aw, you're so cute when you try to look angry.", she said with an evil grin.
"I'm not cute!" – "Oh yes, you are." – "I'm not!" – "Oh hell yes, you're damn cute!"
"Hey! Sorry, we're a bit late, I hope you didn't have to wait that long?"
Sasha and Connie arrived and were waving at the two girls.
"We had to wa-…", Ymir started but Historia punched her in the side.
"No, everything is okay, we just arrived, too! Should we go in?", the blonde girl said and smiled.
Everyone nodded and so they walked into the funfair.
Historia walked beneath Sasha in front of Ymir and Connie while talking to each other.
"So…Connie, right?", Ymir said and the addressed boy looked up to her, nodding.
"You like her, didn't you?", she said with a grin on her face.
Connie instantly blushed and raised his hands in defence.
"Oi…! Shut up! What if she hears us…?", he said as quiet as he could.
Ymir laughed evil. "Aww, so I'm right? I can't believe she didn't got it yet, I mean, I saw you together yesterday the first time and I was pretty sure that you two are in love but didn't tell each other."
Connie swallowed hard. "Y-…you think she's interested in me…? Really?", he asked and looked at Sasha in front of him who was laughing together with Historia.
"Yep, pretty sure.", Ymir said and opened her barrette to tie her hair together again more proper.
Connie put his hands in his pockets and looked down to the floor.
"Can't believe I'm talking about this with you.", he started and Ymir raised an eyebrow.
"I don't know how to tell her.", he said and Ymir laughed.
"Just do it. I'll eat my hat when she rejects you.", she said and put her hands behind her head.
Connie kicked a stone away and sighted. "Sound's easier than it is, man…", he mumbled.
Ymir peeked over to him. "You know, it's just the moment before. Once you said it out loud, you'll feel better. So don't be such a scaredy cat, when you don't do is someone else will."
Ymir was grinning evil, well knowing that this was the last thing Connie would want to hear.
"Oh shut up, stupid scarecrow!", Connie said with an angry voice.
"Scarecrow? Seriously?", Ymir said and couldn't help but laugh. "Just wanted to help, but you know… get it while it's hot." She grinned and walked over to Historia, laying her arm around her with her hand slipping into the smaller girls back pocket.
"Huh!?" Historia twitched but relaxed when she realized that it was Ymir's hand touching her.
"I'll shoot you something, alright?", she said while giving her a smile, trying to look as handsome as she could. "Shoot…? What do you want to shoot?", Historia asked with a confused look on her face and Ymir pointed to a shooting gallery. Historia got a huge smile on her face and they walked over.
"I want that one!", she said, pointing to a more than huge teddybear.
"Uhm…okay?", Ymir said, well knowing that this wouldn't be possible without buying a perceived volume of hundreds of shots. She bought 10 shots and took the Winchester gun.
Connie saw that Sasha was watching with glimmering eyes. He took a deep breath and walked over to the employee of the shooting gallery. "I'll take 10, too!", he said, grabbing a gun.
Ymir grinned and winked at him, then she faced the targets.
"10 shots, 8 hits. Not bad.", the guy behind the counter said. "You want another 10, or do you want to choose from those prices?", he asked and pointed to a small basket with things no one needs.
Historia watched her with her big, beautiful blue eyes with an expectant gaze.
Ymir sighted. "10 more.", she sad and loaded the winchester again.
"(Okay, keep cool. If I hit 10/10 I can give her at least a small one…)", she thought and took a deep breath before she aimed. She felt Historia's tender hand on her lower back what made her even more motivated to get here something cute. "Gotcha!", she said and pulled the trigger.
The bullet hit a moving target what gave her double points. "Yosh!"
"That was cool, Ymir!", Historia squeaked and looked up to her with an amorous glance.
Ymir grinned down to her before aiming again.
Connie had struggles to hit the targets but tried nevertheless.
"10 shots, 4 hits." Connie sighted. "Oh fuck…", he said scratching his neck.
Sasha giggled and laid a hand on his shoulder. "Let me try it, alright?", she said and bought 5 shots.
"5 shots, 5 hits. Awesome!" Sasha grinned and took the tokens she won.
"What can we get for the 9 tokens when we combine them?", she asked and the employee showed them what they could get. Sasha took a bag of potato-chips, smiling over her whole face.
"Sorry, I wanted to get you something cool." Connie said with his hands in his pockets, looking down.
"Huh? What do you mean? We got potato-chips, that IS pretty cool!", she said and opened the bag immediately and ate some of them. Connie smiled: "Oh, okay, then everything is fine!"
Sasha smiled back and offered him some, too.
"10 shots, 9 hits. One double, so 10 tokens! Good job!" Ymir sighted relived.
Sasha looked over to the others: "Let's go on, hm?" – "Yep!"
So they walked on, Sasha with her bag of chips and Historia with a small dark-brown teddy bear in her arms. "I'm sorry that I couldn't get you the huge one.", Ymir said while walking beside her.
"Hm?", the blonde girl looked up to her. "No, this one is perfect! He looks just like you."
"Huh?! I'm not looking like a small stuffed animal!", Ymir said, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, you do. Look! He got freckles, just like you! And he looks a bit grumpy, like you in the morning."
Historia smiled and showed the small bear to Ymir. "I don't see any similarities.", she grumbled and was about to put her hands in her pockets when Historia took her hand, tangling their fingers.
The taller girl rose up her lips to a small pout and looked away with her cheeks getting slightly red.
Historia chuckled and pulled Ymir down to her with her second hand on the other girl's cheek, kissing her gentle. "Thank you for getting me this cutiepie, Ymir!", she said with a cute smile on her face.
"Anytime.", she answered and responded smiling to the kiss.
They drove a few carnival rides and it was about to get dark.
"Are you hungry, princess?", Ymir asked and Historia nodded. "Yes, let's eat something."
Sasha was hooked when it came to food and Connie was hungry, too.
"What do you want to eat, Ymir? I'll pay!", the smaller girl said and her girlfriend looked around the booths. "Hm. Something from the barbecue will be fine, I guess. Steak in a bun or something like this? What do you want? And you don't have to pay, I'll do this.", Ymir said.
Historia shook her head. "No, I insist. You've done so much for me and I have enough money, you know what I drew at the bank. So I'll invite you!", she said and wrapped her arms around Ymir's right one. The taller girl sighted and smiled lightly: "Alright, thank you, baby."
Historia smiled and let go off her. She looked around to find a place to eat.
"Okay, then I will get us food and you will reserve us that table over there, alright?", she said and Ymir nodded before she walked over to the table Historia hat pointed at.
Sasha followed her while Connie walked off to get Sasha and himself some baked potatoes.
"I'm so glad that Historia now has someone like you on her side.", Sasha started while they were waiting. "Huh? What do you mean?", Ymir asked and shored up with her arms on the table.
"See, I never understood why she was with Reiner. Okay, he's tall, strong and very popular and a really good athlete. But Historia was never the girl who was interested in such guys."
Sasha propped her chin up on her hand. Ymir sighted: "Yeah, guess she don't know either why she was with him. Maybe he forced her to something, don't know. But this is over now, so you don't have to worry about your friend anymore. I'll give my best to make her happy, I promise."
Sasha smiled. "That's cute from you to say that! I have to say, she looks so much happier since you two are in contact. But that she would fall in love with you was still a surprise!", she laughed.
Ymir chuckled quietly and wanted to say something when she heard her girlfriend's voice.
"Hey! Leave me alone, you hear me?", Historia shouted with an afraid voice.
Ymir tried to focus her, but there were so many people that she had to search for a while.
It was Reiner with Berthold and Annie standing behind him.
"Reiner….come on, let's go….", Berthold said with a quiet voice but he didn't listen to him.
"Bertl, let it go. She deserves it.", Annie said with crossed arms.
Reiner was standing in front of Historia who was holding a sausage and the steak-bun for Ymir.
"Let me go!", the small blonde said. "(Ymir…please, help me…!)"
"No, I won't, but you will come with me.", he said and crossed his arms.
"(I need to get time…) Reiner, where have you been the last three weeks?", she asked.
He raised an eyebrow. "Because of you and your new pet, this creepy teacher Hanji took me to the doctor. I had to go to a fucking psychiatric hospital! Me! Can you image that?!"
Historia raised an eyebrow. "(Oh yes, I can image that better than anything.)"
Reiner grinned. "You are as beautiful as ever. Did you want to impress someone?", he asked.
"That's none of your business, square head!" It was Ymir who finally found them.
"Ah, I see. You're looking so pretty for that bull-dike. Oh Historia~… I thought that you just were confused, because this gay bitch charmed the pants off you. But it seems like you are really attracted to this piece of shit.", he said and grinned at Ymir who was starting to get angry. Really angry.
"Which idiot let you out of the asylum, huh?", Ymir said and tried to get by him to get to Historia, but he didn't let her. "Oi, be careful what you say." Reiner drew his eyebrows together.
"Can we come to an end, please?" It was Annie who was speaking.
Ymir rolled her eyes. "Oi. Why are you here? Berthold, you, too?", Ymir said and put her hands on her hips. "Bertl here asked me to go with him to the funfair. And as he is friends with Reiner we went together. They wanted to celebrate that his rich-ass father got him out of the hospital."
"Oi, Annie. That's nothing this pussy-licker needs to know, understood?", Reiner grumbled.
"Just step aside and let me pass, Reiner. Please!", Historia said and Reiner turned around to her.
"As I said, you will come with me. We are getting back together and I'll take you to your father."
Historia's eyes widened. "M-…my father?!", she gasped.
"Oi! Get your ugly ass away from her!", Ymir shouted and the people around them started to watch. "Reiner… let's go, everyone is watching.", Berthold said. He felt uncomfortable.
Annie sighted. "He's right, we shouldn't get that much attention in public."
"Next time you won't be that lucky.", Reiner said and walked off with Berthold and Annie.
Historia took a deep breath. "Are you okay?", Ymir asked and took her head in her hands while looking in her eyes. "Yes, I'm okay. Thank you that you came to help me."
She handed her the steak-bun. "Are you really okay?" – "Sure." – "Okay?"
Ymir was quite sure that she was not okay, but she let it be for the moment.
They walked over to the table where Connie and Sasha were waiting.
"Is everything okay? Was this Reiner?", Connie asked with a worried expression on his face.
"Yes, but Ymir was there to save me.", Historia said with a ridiculous calm voice.
"Guys, please. Stop looking at me like this! Let's eat, alright?", she added while rolling her eyes.
After they finished their snacks Sasha started to speak: "Do you want to stay or should we go home?"
Ymir looked over to her girlfriend. "I'll stay as long as you want. So, wanna go on some rides or do you want to go home?", she asked. "Hm, I guess we can go home, or do you want to stay?", Historia said and gave Connie and Sasha a questioning gaze.
"I would like to ride the ferris-wheel. I heard that you can watch over the whole city when you are on top if it!", Sasha said and smiled bright. Connie twitched and he got nervous.
"T-…then I'll join you! If you want, I mean!", he said and tried to stay cool. "Sure!"
Ymir grinned and leaned down to Historia before whispering in her ear: "Let's go home, huh? Connie told me he's in love with Sasha, we should grant him that chance and let them be alone, alright?"
Historia's eyes widened when she heard that. "Oh! I mean, uhm… I'm tired, I want to go home. Have a nice evening, you two!", she said and hugged her friends before waving at them while walking off the funfair with Ymir next to her, holding hands.
"Did he really said that?", the smaller girl asked with big eyes. "Yep.", Ymir simply responded.
"Oh I hope he will tell her!", Historia giggled and hugged her girlfriends arm.
The ferris-wheel stopped and Sasha and Connie where almost on top of it.
"Wow! Look! All the lights!", Sasha was marveling at the view with glimmering eyes.
"It's so beautiful!", she added and watched outside the window.
Connie took a deep breath and swallowed hard. "(That's your chance, don't fuck this up!)"
He got up and played nervous with his hands. Sasha didn't saw that he was nervous, she was staring on the many lights in front of her.
"…S-…so…I mean…uhm…", he stammered and his face went red. Sasha turned around to him.
"Huh? What's wrong, are you okay?", she asked with a confused look on her face.
Connie closed his eyes tight and took all his courage to bring out those words he wanted to say.
"N-..not… not as beautiful as you, Sasha!", he almost shouted and was staring on the floor with his hands formed to fists. He was so nervous, his body was shaking lightly.
Sasha's eyes widened when she heard those words. "…eeehh…?", she blushed and took a step back.
"W-…what did you just say?!", she stammered.
Connie looked up with a strained expression in his face. "T-…that…you are beautiful, Sasha!"
She swallowed hard. "Are you serious?!", she shouted back with a shocked expression.
Connie panicked. "I'm sorry, forget what I said….!", he said, covering his face with his hands and bend his body back. "N-..N-…No…! I'm…I'm happy that you think…that?!", she started and got just as nervous as he was. Connie took down his hands: "Wait, what?!" – "What?" – "You're happy?!" – "Yes, why not?" – "So, you like me, too?" – "What?" – "What?!" – "Ahhh…!"
Both were standing in front of each other with blushed faced and panic in their faces.
A short while there was silence with the two just staring at each other.
Connie took a deep breath and held his forehead. "Alright. Pweeeh… Sasha, what I want to tell you is… I like you. Like, yes we are friends for so long now, but I mean like, I really like you… you understand what I want to tell you?", he asked and struggled to find the right words.
Sasha swallowed hard. "So you mean like… like you have feelings for me?", she asked quietly.
"S-… seems so. (I'll kill you if you lied to me, stupid scarecrow!)", he was really anxious.
Sasha played nervously with her hands. "I would really like to snack something right now…"
"What?" – "What?!"
They stared in each other's eyes, both red as a tomato.
"Sasha, please, just answer me, alright? I-…I really like you! Do-…do you like me, too…?"
The slightly smaller boy bit his lip and looked over to Sasha.
Sasha bit her lip, too and looked down in the floor. "I-…oh, I'm so bad at finding words…", she complained and in that moment the wheel started to spin again, making her trip and fall in Connie's direction who saved her from falling completely down by wrapping his arms around her.
Their faces where just a few millimeters away from each other.
"Connie…I-…", she started but decided that she was better at taking action than finding words.
So she leaned in and gave him a small kiss on his shivering lips with her eyes closed tight.
Connie wasn't able to react. He just stared with eyes wide open at Sasha who leaned back and sat down on the bench behind her with her hands on her knees, staring to her feet.
"…wait, WHAT?!", Connie screamed when he realized that Sasha had kissed him.
Sasha twitched and looked up with wide opened eyes, staring at Connie.
He gulped and walked over to Sasha who was still staring. He sat down next to her and grabbed her face and kissed her hard, pressing his lips on her's with his eyes shut tight and his eyebrows drawn together. Sasha tried to respond but he broke the kiss already. "Connie…", she whispered and bit her lip before she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer again.
This time Connie was calmer and they managed to kiss each other gentle with closed eyes.
"I like you, too…", she whispered before connecting with his lips again.
"Uhm. Guys, the ride is over. Please get out, alright?" It was an employee of the ride who opened the door when their basket reached the end of the ride.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry!", Sasha shouted and ran out of it with Connie behind her.
They stopped at the fencing which was built around the funfair, laughing.
"Oh man, that was embarrassing!", Connie laughed and Sasha nodded giggling.
"So… it's real? We uhm…we like each other?", he asked quietly and scratched his cheek.
Sasha blushed again and looked down, playing with the edge of her shirt.
"Uhm…yes?", she responded and smiled lightly. "So…uh… are you. I mean, so…am I…?"
She looked up: "My boyfriend…?" – "Ah…! Uh, so, if you want so…?" – "…"
Sasha bit her lip and she nodded. "Yes, I would love you to be my boyfriend to be honest…"
Connie's heart jumped almost out of his chest when he heard what she said.
"Oh my god! YOSH!", he triumphed and jumped off the ground with his fist in the air.
"Uhm, Connie?!" – "This is so awesome!" He pulled her close and kissed her deeply with Sasha responding on it with a smile in her face. "I'll never hurt you, I promise! And I will always be by your side! No matter what! And…and I will take care of you! And…and I-", he said with his eyes glimmering when Sasha started to laugh out loud. "Huh? What is it?" – "You are so cute!" – "Cute?!" – "Yes, that's why I like you so much, Connie!" She wiped away a tear that escape her eyes from laughing and kissed him gentle. "Let's get something to eat, alright?" – "Yes!"
