104 Stories of The 104th
A/N: Here's something I've never thought of doing. This is back to the Marine Au that was written as a LevixPetra, but it's before that mission. It's during the first couple months of being on tour with the Scout Snipers, before Eren was selected into Levi's squad. I'm not going to assign a ship at first. I'll take feedback and suggestions, then decide. The choices will be between Annie, Mikasa, Christa, and Sasha (The four girls I ship with him normally haha). A bit out there I know, but still. Please send other prompts and suggestions as well! Also I'm going to start putting my OC's (Brian and Shayna, and maybe more) in my stories more often. Also I deleted Epsilon to make some adjustments. It'll be back soon.

Chapter 14- Eren x ?- Sight
Rated M- C'mon. It's a war Au. Of course. Because of that the language will probably be a bit rougher
Eren sat on his bunk, stomach growling, wondering when dinner would be served. It was already a half hour late, what were they trying to do? Make him starve? He huffed to himself and decided to get some fresh air.
Stepping out of his tent, he forgot how different the forward operating base was at night. People didn't frequent going outside, unless it was for food, guard duty, or to take a shit. Hmph. If I have to clean the shitters one more time, I may just kill myself. The food they were given to eat was full of protein, calories, starch, and fiber a soldier could need. Fiber. Means more shit. More shit for the rookies, or senior officers who pissed off Erwin (Brian), to clean.
Before Eren could think much more on the matter, a broad shoulder slammed into his, slightly turning Eren on the spot. Speak of the Devil. "Major Wisniewski. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. Sorry, sir!"
"Cut the shit, Eren. I couldn't care less. No harm, no foul. And don't call me sir. That's weird." The frighteningly tall man replied. Brian had grown up near Eren and was only three years older than him. They'd known each other almost their whole lives. Eren never asked how he and Shayna had rose through the ranks so fast, but sometimes it was better not to ask. He'd heard the rumors. They use to be a spotter/shooter team. They saved a whole lot of lives, while neutralizing a whole lot more Titans than people they saved. They never really speak of the night. They each had their own squad now. Echo and Delta.
"A-alright, Brian." Eren muttered, nervously stuttering at the Major's rather blunt statement.
"Go see Mikasa. She was looking for you earlier in the day. She's in the rec-tent." The Major with the look of boredom he always had, as he walked away. Eren stared at the man, lost in thought, until he was out of sight. Mikasa wants to see me? I hope everything's alright.
Eren walked towards the rec-hall, worry covering up how hungry he really was. Arriving at the tent, he heard a small voice from around the side sounding distressed. Hmm? Mikasa can wait a second. Turing the corner, Eren was met with a tiny blonde girl crouching down, crying into her arms.
"Christa? Hey are you okay?" Eren asked, a tad surprised that she was crying and Ymir was nowhere to be found.
"I-I-I…I'm f-fine!" Christa hiccupped from crying, causing Eren to process that she was not only not okay, but was obviously upset.
"Bullshit. C'mon, what's wrong?" Eren questioned, kneeling next to her.
"Y-Ymir…I always thought…she was…you know…" Christa started, tears filling her blue eyes that refusedvto meet Eren's green orbs.
"No, actually I don't," Eren chuckled nervously, trying to ease the situation.
"D-don't ask, d-d-don't tell…you know…into girls? Well. I thought she was. She's not!" Christa stammered out, swiping off the tears from her cheeks.
"Ymir? Really? Wow. That surprises me that she isn't…" Eren stated before stopping himself. If Christa was upset about that did that make her…
"Before you ask, I'm both." Christa said in a suddenly much clearer voice.
"Oh…Well hey. I'm sorry." Eren said, scratching his neck sheepishly.
"It's fine…I just need some sleep." Christa said, trying to stand up. She ended up losing her balance and slammed her back against the ground forcefully, oxygen escaping her lungs with the impact.
"Well, hey. You can always talk to me, if need be, Christa." Eren said offering a hand up. With a small smile Christa accepted the hand, "Thank you, Eren."
Christa walked away without another word. Geez. Girls these days. You never expect…
Eren felt his legs get swept out from under him and landed on his back, knocking the wind out of him. What the fuck…
"You need to learn how to talk to girls, Jaeger." A voice came from behind him that sent shivers down his spine as if he'd been dipped into an ice bath.
Annie
"Hmph. You could give me a fair shot next time, and not take a cheap one on me." Eren muttered.
"Oh? And how could I expect you to handle a frail girl's body such as mine? I mean…I wouldn't mind letting you handle it." Annie fired back, her artic tone of voice still present as she attempted to flirt with the brunette, which Eren was oblivious to.
"I...Wait what?" Eren asked with a voice filled with confusion and wonder.
Annie sighed in annoyance as she strolled off to the entrance of the rec-tent. "Learn how to talk to girls, imbecile."
Whatever the fuck just happened…I don't know whether to be scared or excited. Maybe I should ask Armin or Mik…MIKASA! Oh shit, she was looking for me.
Eren dusted himself off after standing on his own to legs, and jogged back to the entrance of the rec-tent. As he entered he looked around. Shayna was lecturing her squad, Armin, Jean, Annie, and Ymir, about the proper technique of ping pong. Sasha saw Eren walk in and waved at him, face widening into her cute grin she was known for. Shayna slapped her hand with her paddle to gain her attention, once more. Shayna and Brian may be two of the top shots here, but boy did they not act the part outside of missions. Scanning some more, he saw Connie and Reiner playing pool, talking about home. Finally, his eyes fell upon Mikasa, sitting quietly in the corner, sipping from a canteen of what Eren assumed was water. Eren sighed and walked over.
"Hey Mika." Eren said shortly as he pulled a chair to sit next to her. Mikasa finished her drink and nodded in acknowledgment.
"So. Major Wisniewski said you wanted to talk." Eren said, more stating it, rather than asking.
"Oh…yes. How's everything going, Eren?" Mikasa asked quietly.
"Fine, I guess. What about you?" Eren asked out of habit. She's acting weird.
"Everything's okay. Are you excited to finally be here, hunting down the Titans?" Mikasa half whispered.
You've always been a bit stoic, but never shy or nervous! Especially with me! What's going on, Mika. "Yes I am. With you and Armin here, I can't wait. But…you're acting a bit off, Mika, what's wrong?" Eren fired back.
"I…uh…"Mikasa didn't get to finish her statement though. They didn't noticed Major Levi approach, cold stare locked on Eren and Mikasa.
"Jaeger. Ackerman. Come with me." Levi said in a dark tone.
A/N: This is sort of an experiment story? I want to put out another chapter of this before I pick a ship for it. Your feedback will influence my decision a lot though! Thanks to SteelxPaladin for being my Beta Reader! Wouldn't have been nearly as good without their help! Until next time. Send those requests and stuff in.
