SATURDAY: A Girl Let Me Do It
Thump. Thump. Thu-thump. "My boys got together."
"Fucking finally." Annie shifted her stance and hitched the target pad higher, bracing her shoulder against Mikasa's blows. "They as loud as my boys?"
"Sources say no." Thumpthump. Thump. "I think that's because Eren's ace, though."
Annie raised an eyebrow over the top of the pad. "Ace like asexual?"
Mikasa nodded and stepped back, nodding her head in a quick bow. Annie dropped the pad and threw it to the side of the practice room they rented every Saturday morning in the campus rec center to punch out their feelings. Now, though, they sat across from each other on the padded floor, stretching and rehydrating. "I'd had my suspicions for a while. He's way too old to be thinking sex is gross unless there's something else involved." She drew the bottoms of her feet together and pressed her forehead to the mat. "I'll have to keep an eye on them."
Annie nodded. "Lucky my boys figured that shit out on their own."
Mikasa smiled, just a little. "Our boys are paired off, Sash and Connie are engaged. Even Jean found someone to attach to."
"Poor Marco." Mikasa's shoulders shook, but her laugh didn't sound. Annie pinned an arm across her body, rotating her wrist on the way. "Maybe we should warn him."
Mikasa shrugged. "He'll figure it out." She lifted the hem of her shirt to wipe at her sweaty forehead. "That just leaves us as the odd ones out."
It was Annie's turn to shrug. "I'm all right with that." She rolled her shoulders back, answered Mikasa's quirked mouth with a tilted eyebrow. "One more round, then smoothies on the loser?"
Mikasa hopped to her feet, checking her forearm pads. "Deal."
