To be frank, being a cadet was hard. A lot of cadets quit to work in the fields after the first day. Luckily, you weren’t one of them.

But still, sometimes you would zone out and wonder if you just screwed yourself over long-term signing up to be here.

But.. it wasn’t all that bad, you had made some new friends! Like Connie, Sasha, and Jean. You were closer with Sasha out of the three, but still.

One day, after training and on the mess hall, Jean had started arguing with Eren about something you couldn’t bother to remember.

To sum it up, Jean got his ass handed to him with one move that Eren had suddenly picked up from Annie that day.

You offered to help Jean to his barracks after that embarrassing stunt and help him with the bump he had accumulated behind his head.

And that’s how it lead you two here.

“Damn, what kind of move was that?” He wondered aloud, gritting his teeth as he sat cross-legged on his bed in the barracks.
