I couldn't sleep. Flashbacks of what had happened with Pieck was consuming my mind. I felt like a cheater... a player. She kissed me. She's with Porco...

"Fuck."
I muttered to myself before slowly closing my eyes, trying to sleep yet again. The thoughts swarming around in my head kept me awake, so I got out of bed and headed for the bathroom. It was a shared one, so there was a chance somebody would see me in this mental state.

"Whatevever. It's not like anybody roams the halls at 2AM anyway." I was just halfway, and I was starting to get worried. What if I bump into Reiner? What if I bump into PIECK?! I shook my head rapidly, trying to shake myself of those pesky thoughts. My feet were starting to get cold, and I wondered why I didn't wear any shoes, let alone socks. Sighing to myself, I finally reached the girl's restrooms. There were 2, one for the higher levels of the building, and one for the lower levels. It'd be a hassle if there was 1 to share. You'd have to walk so far, just to take a shit.

"What am I doing. What the fuck am I doing?" I splashed my face and arms with cold water. My eyes were nearly bloodshot from the lack of sleep. Not that I hadn't pulled all-nighters before, I was just mentally exhausted ontop of that. Suddenly, I heard the sound of flushing coming from one of the stalls. My heart jumped in surprise, but maybe I was imagining things. That wouldn't be out of fashion for me.

"Hello? Someone there?" I called out frightened, but not wanting to show it.

"Y/n, is that you?" I heard a voice call back. Pieck...

"P-pieck?" She opened the door and smiled at me. That same warm smile.

"I'll get going now." I was just about to leave, as Pieck grabbed my arm, pulling me close to her.

"I'm sorry about what happened at the museum. I probably messed up big time." She sighed and looked down at the baby blue tiles that made the floor of the bathroom. I shook my head and hugged her.

"It's okay. Don't feel bad. We tried something new" I laughed awkwardly. She pulled away and scrunched her eyebrows at me.

"It's not okay. I really am sorry. I was just upset about Porco, and I wasn't thinking rationally. I'm such a bad girlfriend and friend. I-I mean, that's if we're friends, of course..." I could see her eyes started prickling with tears. I didn't quite know what to say, but I just had an overwhelming feeling of wanting to hug her tightly.

"Really Pieck, it's fine. You're still a really great friend. I'm looking forward to spending the weekend with you and Porco at the Cabin." I left the restroom and swiftly ran back to my dorm, not wanting to even think about Pieck.

The sun had awoken at last. I stretched my legs and arms, not wanting to get up. It's Friday. We leave tonight. I groaned and got out of bed. I didn't sleep well last night. Not even sure if I slept or not, I was tired.

"Last night was something..." I stood in fornt of the mirror backed closet and tied my hair up in a messy bun. Not caring about my looks in the moment, I pulled my uniform on messily, and headed out the door.

"Y/n, good morning." I flinched but turned around and saw Pieck. I forgot she lived so close to me.

"Pieck, hi..." The situation was awkward and I didn't have any words.

"Walk with me", she clung onto my arm and walked by my side. Her dark hair flowing with her movements. Her eyes looked somewhat tired, but she seemed happy and content in the moment.

As we reached the classroom, she let go of me and opened the door, holding the door for me. I gave her a small but genuine smile, and she returned it.
