"I C..CAN'T! I LITERALLY CANNOT..! (Y/N), YOU'RE GONNA K..KILL M..ME..!" Marco doubled over on his bed, wheezing so hard that I was certain his lungs would burst. I tried my best to shush him, but my own hideous cackling was taking over. There wouldn't be too many repercussions if I were to be caught in the boys' side of the barracks, right?

"Sh..shhhh! You're gonna g..get me busted..!" I chortled, almost losing my balance.
"One more...t..time..!" The ravonet wiped tears from his eyes and leant forward in anticipation. I couldn't resist. Adjusting myself so I was again kneeling atop Marco's pair of low-cut civilian boots, I curled the calico sheet around my shoulders and forced my expression into deadpan.
"Erwin...you ignorant slut." How I ended up impersonating Levi was a mystery, but my freckled friend was once again clutching at his stomach and honking like a broken goose.

"Ahem." I squeaked out as somebody cleared their throat from the doorway, and toppled over against Marco's legs, barely managing to catch myself on his knees before headbutting him straight in the little Marco polos.
"O..oh...Reiner..." Marco coughed and tried to get his giggling under control. "...s..sorry...did we wake you?" I stood up, using him as leverage, and curled the cape further around myself for dramatic effect.
"Be you friend...or foe..?"

God, I'd be so fun at parties..!

The smallest hints of a smile tugged at Reiner's tight lips, but he still crossed his arms across his broad chest.
"That depends," He started, taking a small step forward. "on whether you got permission to be in here." Gulping, I hid my guilty expression behind the sheet and shuffled my feet.
"Uh...well, Jean wanted to do some extra hand to hand training with Connie...and I was bored...so...I gave myself permission..?"

Absolutely nailed it, (Y/N)!

Uttering a short laugh, the blond relaxed and welcomed himself into the room, shutting the door behind him.
"I'm just messing with you. Just happy to see you kicking back and having a laugh." Releasing a sigh of relief, I tossed the sheet down next to Marco and followed with a soft thud, causing the bed to bounce.
"Ah, good...I won't have to kill you, then..."

"So, what's up, Reiner? It's weird to see you without Bertholdt." Marco pointed out, leaning back against the wall. Taking a seat on Jean's unoccupied bed, the cadet shrugged his shoulders.
"He's asleep. It seriously stresses me out watching him sleep in those weird positions..." He shuddered before turning his attention to me. "Oh, by the way, (Y/N), somebody was looking for you. Elf, or Elm, I think he said his name was..?"

Oh...

I was honestly surprised to hear that Eld had been looking for me. We hadn't seen each other since my trial, and I felt a little disheartened. My feelings for the man confused me to no end. On one hand, I adored him, but on the other, I couldn't help but have my doubts. All of these odd feelings were far too new to me, and I didn't know what to do with them. I couldn't just follow the skip of my heart towards my future. If i did that, then my attention would be torn every which way.

"Oh, he was? Guess I better go see what's up, then..." Sighing, I placed my hand on Marco's shoulder and pulled myself to my feet, turning to give him a smile. "If I don't get called to my death, I'll come back later, yeah?"
"(Y/N)...don't say stuff like that...You've already scared me too much lately..." Marco whined, patting my hand. I winced guiltily before pulling away and lifting a finger to my lips, turning my attention to Reiner.
"Remember, Braun...I was never here..." Proceeding to back out of the room; arms waving out in front of me in a pathetic attempt at being eerie, I laughed before heading out the door.

I wonder why he's looking for me..?

It didn't take long to track the man down. Between asking lurking cadets and having a keen eye, I finally caught up to him near the mess hall.
"Heard you were trying to sniff me out, old man..?" I chuckled as I sauntered up to him, making him jump a little. Puffing out a long breath, he returned my smile and rotated to face me completely.
