A/N: At the beginning of the chapter? *Le gasp* Just a warning, slightly based on a chapter of the manga that's as of January 10, 2014 NOT in the anime, so there might be a bit of a spoiler (but nothing big, I promise!). Anyways, enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 12: Fighting with Ymir is Always a Bad Idea

hrgoddess started a conversation with ymirror.

hrgoddess: Hey Ymir!

ymirror: hi Christa :)

ymirror: what's up

hrgoddess: Well, it's our day off today, so I thought we could spend the day together and go on a hike :)

hrgoddess: What do you think?

ymirror: as long as you're there, i'm game

ymirror: i'll meet you by the mess hall in half an hour then

hrgoddess: Yay!

hrgoddess: See ya Ymir!

wreckingball started a conversation with hooverdam and lionheart.

wreckingball: Hey guys, do you want to go hiking on the mountain today?

wreckingball: I heard that the snow up there is spectacular

wreckingball: A blinding beauty, I think I heard

wreckingball: What do you guys think?

lionheart: Ew snow.

lionheart: I'm not freezing myself for a so-called 'blinding beauty'

lionheart: I'd rather not be a human popsicle for the titans to eat.

wreckingball: There aren't any titans on the mountains

wreckingball: It's too steep for them to climb

lionheart: Then what makes you think that we should climb it then

hooverdam: Sorry Reiner, I have to agree with Annie here

hooverdam: I don't like the look of those clouds on the mountain

hooverdam: It seems like there's going to be a LOT of snow

hooverdam: And we might get stuck there and die :P

wreckingball: Sigh fine

wreckingball: Be that way, you party poopers

wreckingball: I'll just go by myself then

lionheart: ...

hooverdam: ARE YOU CRAZY REINER?

hooverdam: DON'T DO IT!

wreckingball: I'll be fine

wreckingball: See you guys later!

wreckingball left the conversation.

hooverdam: facepalm

lionheart: Better start planning his funeral, Bertholdt.

hooverdam: What? Why me?

lionheart: Well, I'M not doing it.

ymirror started a conversation with wreckingball.

ymirror: reiner braun

wreckingball: Yeah?

ymirror: what the fuck are you doing here

wreckingball: Huh? I'm just going on a hike

wreckingball: Why?

ymirror: because

ymirror: you've been following me and Christa

ymirror: for the past fucking hour

wreckingball: Just a coincidence

wreckingball: This trail is the safest

wreckingball: I assume that's why you're there as well?

ymirror: drop the act bic boi

ymirror: we both know why you're here

ymirror: and you're gonna have to climb over my dead body to get to Christa

wreckingball: ...

wreckingball: Bring it on bitch

wreckingball: I accept your challenge

wreckingball: We'll see who comes out on top

ymirror: Christa, stick close to me

hrgoddess: Um Ymir

hrgoddess: Why are you texting me when you're right next to me

ymirror: just do as I say

hrgoddess: Okay then...

An hour later...

hrgoddess: Isn't the snow beautiful?

hrgoddess: It's a winter wonderland!

ymirror: yes it is

ymirror: but didn't you say it was weird to be texting right next to each other

hrgoddess: Yeah I suppose...

hrgoddess: But I want to remember this conversation we're having :)

ymirror: ...you're too sweet Christa

hrgoddess: I know :3

ymirror: bitch

ymirror: Christa wants to remember spending time with me together

wreckingball: ...

wreckingball: Fuck you

ymirror: sorry, i'm a girls-only babe

hrgoddess: Why are you smirking?

hrgoddess: Was it something I said?

ymirror: yeah...

hrgoddess: Wait, what's that noise?

hrgoddess: I hear someone calling for help!

ymirror: leave them there to die

ymirror: it's their fault they got into that position

hrgoddess: Ymir that's not very nice

hrgoddess: I'm going to investigate

ymirror: sigh...

wreckingball: Yo why'd you guys go into that cave

wreckingball: There could be titans in there

ymirror: are you fucking kidding me

ymirror: this is why i hate guys

ymirror: they ruin everything

wreckingball: Wow...you hate me that much?

ymirror: YES and no

ymirror: at least you're not a complete moron

ymirror: unlike daz...

wreckingball: Wait, Daz?

wreckingball: You mean the PTS dude who broke down during the Trost invasion?

ymirror: yeah, that daz

ymirror: he wanted to a "mighty hero" and train up on the mountains

ymirror: but he would have been bear food if it weren't for me and christa

wreckingball: At least he's learned his lesson...?

ymirror: no he hasn't because HE FUCKING DID IT AGAIN

wreckingball: ...this is his second time?

ymirror: that idiot...

wreckingball: Okay he is an idiot

wreckingball: But why are you telling me this?

ymirror: take the piece of shit back to camp

wreckingball: No way I'm getting stuck with him!

ymirror: FOR CHRISTA

wreckingball: So you can have a wonderful lovey date with my angel?

wreckingball: I don't think so!

ymirror: first of all

ymirror: i can only call her that

ymirror: secondly

ymirror: ...i'll tell Christa you're doing it for her

ymirror: and she'll be very thankful and maybe even smile for you

wreckingball: ...

ymirror: do we have a deal

wreckingball: Only if I get to see and talk to Christa first.

ymirror: fine...

wreckingball: Score!

ymirror: bastard

hrgoddess started a conversation with wreckingball.

hrgoddess: Hey Reiner!

hrgoddess: Thank you so much for taking care of Daz!

hrgoddess: He just doesn't know when to learn...

wreckingball: It's no problem, angel

wreckingball: I mean Christa :)

hrgoddess: I feel kinda bad for ending your hike early though :/

wreckingball: Don't worry, it's fine

wreckingball: I was about to head back anyways

hrgoddess: Ah that's good :)

hrgoddess: I can't believe you were behind us the entire time!

hrgoddess: Ymir and I had no clue until a few minutes ago

wreckingball: Oh really...?

wreckingball: Hard to imagine since Ymir's a skilled fighter

hrgoddess: Yeah it is :)

hrgoddess: Anyways, you should bring Daz to the infirmary soon before his hypothermia gets worse

wreckingball: Right...

wreckingball: Be careful, Christa!

hrgoddess: Don't worry, I'll be fine with Ymir around :)

Daz. He never knew that a name could bring such animosity from himself. Reiner glared ruefully at the shivering man, whose slightly blue face was contorted in pain.

"H-h-hey Reiner," Daz pronounced between loud teeth chattering. "Th-thanks for he-helping me."

"All your fault," Reiner muttered as he rolled Daz in a brown wool blanket burrito-style before sitting on the frozen man's back.

"Wh-what's ha-happening?" Daz asked faintly.

Reiner growled. "You ruined my potential date, bastard. Might as well have a bit of fun while I'm saving your sorry ass." He then pushed off and the two began sliding down the snowy hill (read: cliff). Daz's scream could be heard for miles around (which sent every organism in the vicinity shivers down the spine, and caused a small avalanche nearby).

Christa turned around suddenly at the sound. "Did you hear that, Ymir?"

Ymir blew a wisp of hair from her face. "Hear what?"

"It sounded like a scream," the blonde scrunched her eyebrows in thought. "We should go help that person!"

Ymir scoffed. "It was probably Daz. You know how he gets. Don't worry, now let's go," she said as she began tugging Christa back down the trail.

"But-"

"No buts! Or else I increase the amount of times I make fun of Jean."

Christa sighed in defeat. "Okay..."

wreckingball started a conversation with hooverdam and lionheart.

wreckingball: Hey guys!

hooverdam: Oh my god you're alive?

hooverdam: Thank goodness!

wreckingball: Glad to see that you want me back :)

lionheart: Don't be so confident.

lionheart: This guy was actually planning your funeral.

lionheart: He even had the casket and framed photo ready for you

hooverdam: Annie! You weren't supposed to tell him!

wreckingball: LOL it's alright

wreckingball: Although the casket might come in handy soon...

hooverdam: Why?

wreckingball: Well...

wreckingball: I used Daz as a sled to slide down the mountain

hooverdam: Reiner!

wreckingball: Very time-efficient and fun though :)

lionheart: Ha

lionheart: I should try that sometime...

hooverdam: Where is he now? At the infirmary?

wreckingball: Umm he's still with me

wreckingball: Cause he got really blue and stopped talking and stuff

hooverdam: REINER

hooverdam: TAKE HIM TO THE INFIRMARY NOW

wreckingball: Alright alright

wreckingball: But have the casket ready just in case
