1ST POV

.

.

I stood in front of the canteen, hugging Armin from behind with my chin on his head, wearing casual clothes, as Eren, Connie, Mina and Marco watched Sasha run in the training ground.

"Hey, that potato girl's still running." Connie whistled.

"Wow... She's been at it for five hours now." Eren continued, amazed. "She didn't even react when he told her to run until she dropped. Except when he said she's not getting any food. She was utterly devastated."

"Dauper is a small village of Hunters up in the mountains, right?" Connie asked.

"Yep." He was startled when he heard my voice as well as Marco, and Mina. Only Eren and Armin were used to my random intrusions in others' discussions.

"A-Ah..! You're T-Tobe right..?" Marco asked as he looked at me and Armin before blushing. "Uh..."

"Ah don't worry, she always does that." Armin blankly said, too used to my antics.

"O-Oh... Hum-"

"What's that?" Eren suddenly asked, looking at a carriage going away.

"Oh! Dropouts. They requested a transfer to the reclaimed lands." Mina answered.

"Already? It's only the first day..." Armin said, surprised.

"That's just how it is." Eren stared. "The weak have no choice but to leave." They looked at him as I furrowed my brows at his statement. "They'd prefer picking up rocks and pulling weeds..." he met my disapproving stare, before quickly apologizing.

"That reminds me. We never heard where you're from or anything." Freckles Jesus asked.

"I'm from Shiganshina, like Armin here." He said, smiling, as he put his hand on Armin's shoulder. The three of them froze.

"Oh, I see...that's... " Marco started but got interrupted by Connie as he bluntly asked:

"Then you were there on that day, too?"

Freckles Jesus jumped "Hey ?!"

"Did you see it? The Colossal Titan?!" Connie boldly continued.

I tightened my arms around Armin as he slightly trembled. Before Eren could answer, I started:

"You're Connie Springer, right?" He blinked at me, pink hue present on his cheeks as I continued, "It's not really nice to ask this kind of questions so directly, it's still a painful subject, so please think twice before your curiosity loses you, okay?" I smiled.

He looked taken aback before realization hits him and he quickly apologized to Eren and Armin.

"It's Alright, Colith." the brunette patted my back "He was just curious." he finished as I pouted.

"But, If Tobe is from Trost, how did you guys meet then??" Mina asked, shyly.

"Oh I ran into her, That day, when I was looking for Armin", he patted his friend's shoulder, "After the Fall, we saw her, again in the refugees' camps while she was looking for her relatives."

"She took us in without thinking twice about it, and since then we lived in Trost with her." Armin finished a fond look in his ocean eyes.

The three looked at me in awe as I rubbed my neck sheepishly "I-it's not that big of I deal..."

"Don't say that! Nobody would've done that for us if it wasn't you!" Eren Declared.

I just hid my red face in Armin's neck because of the sudden praise. 'Didn't know black people could blush. Animes do crazy stuff sometimes.'

'Cute!!' they all thought at the same time.

Wanting to change the subject, I just said the first thing that came into my mind "EAT! LET'S GO EAT!" then marched into the canteen with Armin still in my arms. They just chuckled before following me.

Head on the table and seated next to Mikasa, I stared as people were asking Eren about the Colossal titan. 'Really guys, y'all got no tact? Can't see the thing traumatized the boy? Tch tch.'

"Children these days..." I mumbled.

Mikasa was stroking my hair which made me sleepy. 'Gosh, this is Heaven.' I almost started purring until I heard someone say: "Th-Then, what are the normal titans like?"

'seriously dude?' I thought as I heard Eren's spoon land in his soup. His hand on his mouth. "I told him not to let them ask questions like these," I said, facepalming. Mikasa only shook her head in response. I was about to stop them from asking but Freckles Jesus beats me to it.

"Guys, that's enough questions. I'm sure he has memories he'd rather not relieve. "

'THANK YOU.'

"S-sorry for being so-" Connie started but Eren interrupted harshly:

"That's not it!" he bit into the bread he was holding. "Actually, titans aren't such a big deal."

"Oh boi" I put my face in my hands, sighing. I stopped listening because 'Seriously, Eren baby, I love you and all, but stop the tough act. cause Goooooood you ain't ready for what's gon hap-' as I was thinking, he continued talking about joining the Survey Corps yadda yadda yadda, exterminate all the titans, gnegnegne, when Horse face suddenly interrupted.

"Oi Oi are you nuts?" Eren looked at him, puzzled."Did you just say you want to join the Survey Corps?"

"Damn straight." the brunette affirmed, standing his ground. " And you're planning to join the Military Police Brigade to take it easy, right?" he said narrowing his eyes.

"I'm just an honest Fellow. I think that's preferable to acting tough when you're actually scared shitless."

'Oooouh that buuuurn.'

Eren suddenly stood up " You got something to say?" Someone tried to stop them but failed as he was ignored.

"Oh? I wasn't really..." He stood up as well as they both neared each other. But the bell rang, announcing the curfew. They looked up and Jean sighed. "My bad. I wasn't trying to judge your way of thinking." He extended his hand to the brunette. " Let's just let it go."

Eren looked at him for a moment, finally agreeing. "Yeah, Same here, I overreacted." he Tapped in the hand before going out.

Mikasa stood up but stopped when I extended a hand "Mikasaaaa..." I trailed off. She sighed before helping me stand. "I love you too~" She cracked a small smile, before following Eren out.

'Ouuh the Coup de foudre is gonna happen !!' I cackled mentally. As if on cue, Jean Stopped Mikasa, blushing like a complete mess.

"Hey there!" he said, as Mikasa turned to face him, face blank as usual. He stammered a little bit. "Uh, it's just that I've never seen you around, so..." He trailed off, before quickly adding "S-sorry... Your black hair is really gorgeous..."

She merely muttered a "Thanks." Before continuing on her way out.

I shook my head, giggling at the hopeless guy. As I went out, I tapped his shoulder, startling Him. "Good luck dude, you'll need it," I said chuckling harder, as I was already out.

But unbeknownst to me, Jean blushed harder and followed us outside. He saw when Eren told Mikasa to cut her hair while I jumped on his back and stated "If ya want to be stronger, piggyback me, Jaeger!" and he had no choice but to do it.

As Connie walked past Jean until he wiped his hand on the boy's back who shrieked in disgust.

That night, He lost his faith in others.

While I was walking outside, looking at the training field,(I had activated my stealth to not be caught by someone.) I heard something land on the ground, followed by panting.

'Oh yeah, Sasha. Totally didn't forget about you.' I quickly materialized a Ham sandwich. 'Although I can't eat pork, they can, so meh.' And approached her lying figure.

She sniffed then quickly opened her Eyes before jumping on me for the food. 'Damn, Child, chill !'

A sudden soft voice squeaked behind me. I turned and saw Historia holding some bread and a water pouch in her hands.

"Yes, this would've happened to you if it wasn't me. GOD, she's terrifying when it's about food." I watched Sasha act like a feral animal before she realized what she had in her mouth.

"SANDWICH !" she exclaimed.

"It is indeed, a sandwich." I nodded. Her eyes widened at the sight of me before she took notice of the small blonde behind me. "Oh her? looks like we got the same idea." I patted Histo– erm Krista's head who flushed.

"I brought you some bread... But...you should drink some water first..." Sparkles started appearing outta nowhere.

'AAAAH MY EYES!!!'

I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder and looked at its owner.

"God? Are you two...Goddesses??!"

'Lol good guess..', I swiftly looked away.

A bored voice interrupted Sasha. "Hey, what the hell are you doing?"

She saw the new face then started eating quickly almost choking on the food.

"You're gonna choke if you don't slow down, girl." I sighed, stirring a bit while Krista answered the newcomer.

"Well... She's been running all day long."

"Seems like you're just trying to do a good deed", Ymir said blankly, Krista jolted, and Sasha gulped before falling forward but I caught her in time. Ymir continued, "Was it for the sake of po-"

"Ooup ! You'll get hurt potato girl!" I scooped her up in my arms then looked at Ymir and Krista.

They looked back at me, Krista thankful, Ymir scowling.

"What?" I innocently asked. Ymir only sighed before snatching Sasha from my arms, "Ara..?" I blinked.

Krista tentatively asked: "Are you trying to do a good deed as well?"

"She's probably doing that to put a favor in her depts, right Ymir?"

Freckles lesbian narrowed her eyes at me. "How..?"

"I dunno" I shrugged. "I don't see you helping someone for free. Must be a hunch." I put my hands behind my head and looked up. "Anyway!" I gave them a small smile." I'll be on my way! Good night!" And off I go!

Ymir just tched, before looking at Krista, eyes softening a little bit, "Come on, let's go. " then started heading to the dorms with Krista trailing after her.
