1st POV

The next day, we were all watching for the ones who failed yesterday. Mikasa, Armin Reiner, Bertholdt and I stood, watching Eren's turn. I sent him thumbs up to which he returned, determined. Some of the cadets still snickered at him, saying that it was a waste of time. I decided to not give them my attention and focused solely on my baby titan.
"Eren Jaeger, Are you ready?" the scary as fuck bald man asked.
"YES!" The teal eyed teen affirmed, sending me and the others a determined smile.
'YOU CAN DO IT BABY!'
I held my fists in a guts pose. Mikasa and Armin looked at each other before sending him an encouraging look. The two shifters did the same.
I could still feel some of his doubts but he quickly hid them behind pure determination.
'Boi he's so precious rn. Not traumatized, betrayed, and depressed...yet.'
I shook those thoughts off quickly.
"Begin." Shadis commanded the one in charge of lifting him. Slowly, the boy started being lifted. You could see the pure concentration on not messing up, as he stayed up for some time.
'Eh, whatchu gon say, angry Baldi's basics? My boi is special, not like someone.' I stared at said bald man's back.
People cheered at the sudden turn of events and his dedication to not mess up, but I knew that it wouldn't be enough since, unfortunately, the poor boy toppled and fell backward. Everybody gasped in shock.
"N-no..." He struggled to get up" I can still... " he looked horrified as Shadis looked down at him and said to put him down.
I signed 'What am I gonna do with this Boi seriously' and raised a hand "Excuse me, Sir, May I state something?"
The bald man, as well as everyone, turned to look at me in question. The two shits from yesterday were snickering at jaegerbomb's failed attempts before quickly shutting up when I threw them a subtle glare.
"And what is it that you want to say, Tobe?"
Eren looked back between me and the instructor as they released him.
"Could Jaeger exchange his belt with me? I think that something is slightly off with his." I blankly stated as some people scoffed.
"Did you hear that?!"
"She just doesn't want her boyfriend to be booted."
"She must be desperate, wow..."
"That's pathetic–"
"If you guys want to talk bad about me, at least don't do it in front of me." I eye smiled at the ones who specifically said those things. They quickly looked away. "Yeah, that's what I thought." and looked back at Shadis who had an unreadable expression on his face.
'Yeah, I know what you did, dipshit.'
"And how did you assume that cadet Tobe?" the instructor asked, a bit wary of me.
I only smiled and removed my belt "Just a hunch sir, just a hunch." and waited for his permission.
He begrudgingly nodded as I walked to the Flabbergasted Jaeger. " Y-you don't need to Co–"
"Shut the fuck up and put this on." I handed him my belt and walked back to a curious raven-haired girl. The tan-skinned boy hurriedly exchanged belts and looked back at the instructor a bit unsure of what to expect. They lifted him and, surprise! The Boi stayed still without any effort.
His look of bewilderment made me guffaw which snapped everyone out of their shock. I rested my chin on the Asian's head who blinked rapidly. Still struggling with my breath. "oof you should see your faces..."
Shadis ignored me as he took Eren's Belt in his hands "Yours was faulty, Tobe was Right." He told the brunette who immediately stopped gaping and looked at the Sergeant with wide eyes. "The metal fittings on your belts were damaged." The boy blinked." I've never seen damage to these parts before."
'That's because you did it, basterd.' I threw him a nasty look.
"I suppose we'll need to update the maintenance checklist.." he looked at the belt.
"So he actually succeeded...with faulty equipment..."
"wow..."
Hearing this, I threw the cadets a smug look while pointedly staring at the two oddly silent Lil shits from yesterday as if saying "What did y'all say yesterday, assholes??"
Armin watched me carefully.
'It looked like she knew something was wrong with his belt...but How..?' I caught his gaze and gave him a shit-eating grin. 'huh... Nevermind.' he turned his eyes toward his best friend.
"So... What is your decision...now?" tatakae boi hesitantly asked the instructor.
"You're Good to go." He blankly replied. "Stay resolute and train hard."
The boy almost yelled in victory as he raised his fists in the air. I could hear his inner cheering from where I stood. Sliding my arms between the two beans, I said proudly. "This, my babies, is the Jaeger we wanted to see! Look at him all happy now!" I snickered. The two just stared at the happy idiot, still up.
"He must be happy because he'll stay by our side..." Mikasa smiled.
"Meh, pretty sure the little rascal just wants to slay titans." I shrugged. " His obsession is starting to concern me, in my opinion," I murmured to myself. Reiner stifled a laugh while Bertholdt chuckled nervously.
'Giant Boi, YOU'RE one of those obsessions, careful with your titan ass, lmao.'
"COLITH!!" I snapped out of my thoughts as someone glomped me. "I Really did it!!" It was a HAPPY Eren. Those are dangerous.
'God help me, for I am being hugged to death by the CEO of tatakae!!!'
Mikasa, bless her soul, took pity on me and preyed Eren off me by LITERALLY lifting and placing him down next to Armin. Bombastic threw her an offended look.
I breathed like a fish out of water before quickly regaining my composure. "Were you trying to end me, Jaeger?" I bonked his head as he whined.
"You're Eren, right..?" some random cadet started "You did great back there! We thought you were just all talk but you showed us what you were capable of!"
"Yeah! Good job, Jaeger!"
Said boy buffed his chest proudly and started thanking them for their compliments. I put my chin on top of Armin's head, he merely blinked when he received jealous glares from other boys. I smiled fondly while looking at my precious people.
Unbeknownst to me, some of the main cast envied our dynamics and wished to befriend yours truly.
Especially Jean.
Ouais surtout Jean.
Days later.
{Scary scarf girl}
I would sometimes be dragged into training by Mikasa because the girl wanted me to be strong like her.
'Honey, I can annihilate the earth, what the hell.'
But decided to keep her company because she's baby.
I would also notice the way some of the male cadets would flush or try impressing me with random things.
'Who knew boys would look at this weeb with loving gazes, tsk tsk.'
{Jean boi}
Especially Jean. It appears that Horsey took a liking to me and of course Mikasa but was more focused on the me. This resulted in Eren always bickering with the fella whenever he tried flirting with me. That said, Jaeger is always next to me when Jean is around.
'Boi If you don't ge-'
Weeks, months passed as I altered with sneaking out of the walls, to my comfy house one time every two weeks, and befriending the main cast.
{Potato Girl/Lil bald boi}
First was of course Sasha, who I would sometimes give food I made or made appear. Girl was literally worshipping me. We would, most of the time, debate about this "CREATION OF THE GODS!!" as she called it. I will never forget that day when i introduced her to pizza. All hell broke loose!!!
With that came Connie, who was like that annoying little sibling you want to deck most of the time but loved anyway. He was good company if I ever felt depressed when i thought about my real family. This Lil boi is a bundle of stupidity, but I love him anyway.
{Isayama'son/ Burnturtle}
Reiner, Bertholdt, and I were already on friendly terms. Bertholdt tried applying my advice which kind of worked since some of the girls confessed to him. Poor boy didn't know what to do, so he ran away.
Reiner, I think, the guy secretly likes me. Because whenever I am tasked with lifting HEAVY stuff, he would always try to help. 'Bro, as I said, I can destroy this planet just by blinking, but okay, I'm flattered~'
{QUEEN}
Historia, who I had blurted the real name at some point out of habit made me promise not to tell anybody. She didn't know how I knew but trusted me as I became her confident. Whenever she felt bad about herself, the great Colith would call her [Queen, which would make her giggle.
'Haha that foreshadowing.'
I swore to protect her too because she and I became close.
{Freckles Jesus}
Marco was, at first, intimidated by me but warmed up when he saw that I was chill when not provoked. We would sometimes discuss politics and on "Why being a scout is better than the military police." Poor boy wasn't ready when I told him about some nasty deeds I had witnessed when going to some districts in Sina and informed him of the underground situation. yep it wasn't all pink and innocent there. Anyway, He quickly changed his mind for Garrison/Scouts.
{Freckles Lesbian/ Dangerous Blond}
What shocked me the most was that I succeeded befriending Ymir and Annie. I was convinced that Ymir hated me but found out that she liked the way I defended myself from others and my 'weird' humor. I would sometimes tease her about her Krista and tell her to hurry up with the wedding. So good naturally, she got a soft spot for me.
And Annie, oh boi. She was at first wary of me but disregarded it when she saw I was nonthreatening. She would always state that my presence was comforting. And she wasn't the only one! All the Shifters said the same thing about me. This got to the point where she briefly spoke of her father.
'Must be that [Mother of all] things.' I had thought.
So I would give her the sweets I made appear. Now whenever she sees me, she gives me a small smile.
'I DID THE IMPOSSIBLE HOOOO-'
{TATAKAE BOI/ Arameh}
Eren and Armin were the same as always! I would materialize books from my world and offer them to the blonde who would ask me questions about things he didn't know. I even gave him one about the sea that he totally loved. Eren was curious as well and ended up joining us reading about 'facts' about the outside world.
He and Reiner still got their asses beat by Annie. And I guffawed so hard that they pouted childishly. The brunette still had his 'dispute' with horse face, and it still went like Canon, with only me cackling in the back.
The year passed and we were now in 848.
Today was a rest day and we cadets were allowed to go out of camp to see our families and whatnot. I had decided to stroll in Trost. Eren Mikasa and Armin went with me but we parted ways to do our own errands.
That day I was wearing a mustard-colored hoodie Annie had kindly offered me, a plum-colored dress underneath, and some sandals I had. With the hoodie on my head, people had to squint if they wanted to have a look at my face.
"Welp, they seem lively here..." I hummed as I looked at the citizen leaving their lives. "I should probably buy some things for my beans before going back to camp..."
I signed and looked up.
'Man...I miss ma and the others...',Would sometimes think about them and wish to see them... 'wonder what they're doing since I can't just pull out my phone in public, people would freak out.' I quietly snickered.
Not looking at where I was going, I bumped into something hard, 'DAMN! SINCE WHEN THERE'S A WALL IN THE STREE-' losing balance, I was about to fall when the stranger caught my arm. I blinked. 'Huh, well at least there's still polite peopl-'
"Are you alright, Miss?" A deep voice asked in a startled and worried tone.
"Huh, yeah it's okay, sorry I wasn't looking where-" I abruptly stopped.
'Wait a minute...I know this voice...'
I slowly looked up at the not so stranger and ALMOST GASPED. 'Blond, tall, gorgeous, MISTER SASAGEYO!!! I JUST BUMPED INTO MISTER SASAGEYO!!! HOLY CRAP-' I mentally shook my head. The commander of the FREAKING Survey Corps was staring at me. ME!! THIS PUNNY LITTLE WEEB, GOD HELP ME-
He narrowed slightly his eyes as he looked straight at my golden gaze and my unusual skin tone. "Have we perhaps, met? Your eyes are quite familiar.. " he asked a bit unsure.
FUCK.
Out of instinct, my dumbass immediately did the salute, 'cause the guy was a FREAKING Commander, bro.
"I apologize, Commander! I wasn't careful with my surroundings, sir!"
Poor Guy only blinked then the realization hits him as he proceeded to chuckle at my antics. "At rest, Soldier. We are outside as civilians, no need to panic."
'That chuckle, Fuck! Daisuke Ono and his magnificent voice oh god it should be illegal.'
I just blushed, embarrassed, and stiffly dropped my salute while hearing him chuckle again, amused. 'STOOOOOP THIS IS EMBARRASSING!!! aHRIZJZJZK'
"What regiment do you belong to? I don't think I've ever seen you in the Survey Corps." He asked me curiously while adjusting his stuff.
"Oh uh, I joined the training Corps last year, sir. So I am not in any regiment at the moment.", I nervously scratched my cheek. 'Y'all seem to not realize how intimidating this man is up close.'
He hummed and suddenly asked, "Have you decided where you'd want to enlist ?"
'WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME, BEAUTIFUL?!!'
I looked up at him, blinked, and automatically replied "The survey Corps. Sir."
The baffled look he gave me almost made me laugh. I mean sure, who in their right mind would choose the Survey Corps? The regiment with the highest mortality rate, where you could end up as titan snack. Of course, poor fella is shook.
Regaining his composure. "That is...surprising..? Most of the cadets would preferably go for the Garrison or the Military Police. Rare are those who deliberately choose the Survey Corps. Amazing..." he admits, his bushy brows slightly raised.
I laugh nervously "I have things I would like to accomplish and the only way to do that is to join the Survey Corps. "
"Hm... I see...Hum?"
"Ah! Colith, my name is Colith Tobe Sir!" I salute again causing him to chuckle again.
"Erwin Smith." He nodded. "It was a pleasure to meet you, keep going, soldier." He dropped a small smile before continuing on his way.
'Oh fuck...'
I blink a few times.
'Oh fucking shit, did that really just happen?? He didn't even talk about my skin! I LIKE HIM.'
So I can inadvertently meet the others out of canon? Of course I can. For them their world is real and I've only seen episodes that followed the storyline. So I can't know what they're doing out of canon.
'This gives me one more reason to help them...', I nodded and went on. 'Who am I going to meet next tho...'
I ended up buying a few things the others would like and headed back.
