Chapter 5

Another Friday, ODM training. Sasha walked toward the wooden are where they wood slash makeshift Titans, this was her favorite part of training. She could have fun flying through the air and not get in trouble. But Shadis took off points for it.
She saw Eren walking with Mikasa, and a flare of jealousy went through her. She should be the one next to Eren. She should be the one to go to him when she had a nightmare. She should be the one he talked too. She should be his. That was all she wanted.
She quickly made a decision, and walked over to Eren and Mikasa. Everybpody was walking there, why not join the two? She thought.
"Hey Eren!" She she exclaimed while arriving at his side. She walked at the same pace as the two, the footsteps in synch with eachother.
"Oh hey Sasha," he responded, smiling kindly at her. She melted on the inside, he was so handsome, she thought. She smiled back, and saw Mikasa cover her face with her scarf.
"We gonna pair up for the Makeshift Titan training again?" He asked her, looking at her quizzically.
"Sure!" She responded. He asked her! Yes! She was so excited. She looped her thin arms with his muscled one.
They arrived in the woods, where the teens would be split into pairs and sent into the woods to cut the fake napes of the cheaply cut out Titans.
"See yah Mikasa!" Eren waved to her, as Sasha practically dragged him to the start point of the competitiom.
There were thirty Titans in the woods, and a soldier from the Garrison Regiment, who would race against them to get to the Titans first. Whichever team won, got a day off laps and got to watch the other Trainees do them.
And so Shadis got into position, and blew his whistle, signaling the beginning of the competition. Eren was gone already, somewhere in the woods when Sasha got her first cable into a tree. He was the fastest with ODM gear in the entire 104th Trainee Corps. But it was unreal.
She saw Mikasa and Armin flying together through the trees, the two were partners. She could see that Jean and Marco ere too. Just like Reiner and Bertolt were. Annie was, somewhere. Just not sure where. But Eren was gone. And the chunks of metal hanging from her waist were staring to get heavy. She wasn't the healthiest of the girls. So she decided to wait in the tree, seeing a blur then slash at the nape of a makeshift titan go flying. It was Eren.
Just as Jean went in for a nape, the blur flew past, cutting the nape. The same happened with the Garrison member as he went in for a nape, the same blur flew past and it was gone. The same was for every peson in the competition. Suddenly, the blur flew past her, and landed next to her. She turned her head. Eren.
"I cut them all,"he stated. His breathing slightly labored. "Let's get to Shadis," he stated. She was shocked, it had only been two minutes. He went through all of the woods and cut everyone of them? That was unheard of.
The two flew through the woods together, Eren slowing down and staying next her. After a few seconds they saw the clearing to camp, and burst through it to land on the ground a few yards away from Shadis.
"All the Titans are cleared sir,"Eren stated. Shadis looked at Eren for a second with no expression on his face. Then it broke into a small smile. Then a large one. Then laughing.
"Well don Jeager! You'll make a fine Survey Corps member one day!" Shadis exclaimed, patting Eren on the shoulder. "How many did you get Braus?" Shadis asked, giving her a scowl.
"Uuuuh-"
"She got ten sir," Eren interrupted. That was a full on lie, but she thanked God Eren was willing to give her credit.
"Well done Braus, no laps for you two today," he told the two smiling, then walking away.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She screeched when Shadis was gone, looping her arms around his neck. She would have been running laps if he knew Eren had gotten all thirty. She got on her tip toes and kissed him on the cheek, slowly, the kisses made their way away from his cheek. Eventually her lips were on his. She started off small. Before deepening it with him. He made no motion to kiss back except stand there, but she continued. Soon she kissed very deeply on each cheek. Leaving lipstick there.
"Sasha," he saidd with a glazed look in his eyes.
"Yah?"
"Why?"
"Because," she said biting her lower lip. "I like you, a lot."
"Well, thanks," he replied awkwardly. His mind spinning in circles.
"Krista did the same thing," he told her, the glazed look fading.
"What?" She asked, with an edge in her voice. "I'm, going to kill her." She grunted out.

"Don't," he told her, her arms still wrapped around his neck. "I don't even think you're strong enough, you're too skinny," he said caringly.
"I know," she croaked out. She unwrapped her arms.
"What has been happening Sasha? When we started the academy, you looked healthy then," he asked her. Wrapping his arms around her.
"How about we go to the mess hall this evening and you can have my paste?" He asked her, she looked up at him with hope in her eyes.
"Really? You'll let me have it?" She asked. She started to smile. She wouldn't starve that night.
"Yes, alright see yah Sasha," He said as he let go of her, the two saw the other trainees exiting the woods.
"Alright, thank you Eren," she said hiving him a lasting smooch in the cheek. She ran off. When she turned back, she saw Krista and Mina fawning over him, and Mikasa covering up her face with her scarf.
