The change was frightening, especially to Eren, who had never experienced such confusion. However, it seemed to the poor shifter that the others in the squad were definitely aware of something that he wasn't.
Not only had the Corporal given everyone a day off, he hadn't even bothered to be annoyed when Hanji came around for her very chipper report on Sawney and Bean. There were even rumors that someone had seen him lounging under a tree outside earlier that afternoon.
Lounging.
Even Erwin had been slightly thrown off.
A strong, gruff hand clasped Eren's shoulder and stunned him out of his confused daze. "Don't worry about it, kid. We're all just betting that the Corporal got some or something."
Eren turned to Erd and the others with a look of both horror and appalled shock, and the man laughed. "You can't expect someone to always have a stick that far up their ass all the time, I suppose."
The poor shifter couldn't ever really look at his superior the same way again.
