From Two Different worlds [Reader Insert]

Chapter 8

The coconut spoke up, "Reiner and Bertholdt are going to help Eren with the ODM. Since tomorrow is his last chance."

You turned to Eren who was simply avoiding your gaze, definitively feeling embarrassed about his situation. Especially since this morning, he stated he'd be a natural at it.

I should probably head back with the girls.

"Is it alright if I join you guys?"

Bitch what the fuck. Why would I say that?

The big tibbied blond stood up tall and proud and commented, "you failed to balance the ODM gear as well. I guess I could help you out," he then did a stupid smirk while his tall friend was confused, "in exchange for something."

You squint your (e/c) eyes and stared at the cocky blond who was puckring his lips for a kiss and then to the bottom. Bert seemed just as lost as you were but shrugged off his friend's words. You simply nodded your head unsurely, "I just wanted to tag along and hang out. I can balance myself just fine. So thanks for the offer?" It seemed that the blond was crushed for an obviosu reason and his confidence deflated.

"Oh, umm-."

"We barely started our training as soldiers and you're already flirting?" a green-eyed boy stated with slight disappointment while staring at the warrior before giving you a weird look. His face was a little pink before turning his body away. "Let's just get going, I want to practice as much as possible. I have to join the scouts to wipe them all out." He muttered out as he began walking down the path.

The giants agreed and followed Eren closely. Armin however waited for you to join the group. He was certainly a sweet boy but isn't as innocent as many perceive him. A very smart kid, although quite terrible at lying. It's his facial expression that gives him away. Usually, you'd say a person's hips don't lie but in Armin's case.... It is his whole face that can't lie.

"I'm going, to be honest," He glanced towards your direction, " I wasn't really expecting you to be here."

"Ah, you thought I was dead too. Makes sense, I just kind of disap-" He turned to you and waved his hands in the air. The funky candle lantern swung with his hands.

"NO! Well, I mean- I didn't expect you to want to be a soldier!" Armin cried out whilst trying not to offend you. Although he is right in a way. Usually, you'd only join a way for the benefits of college but you already live a pretty stable life back at home. Here the only good thing you can get is being an MP, but as it is said back at home. ACAB.

Throwing your hands in the air you groaned, "Me neither," you stared at the sky. "I really don't know what to do with my life. I'm just trying to be what my brother is and what many others expect me to be." You looked at the blond who gave you a curious look at the mention of a brother. "Though I'm doubtful I'll be talented as he is."

His blue eyes bore into the backs of the trio, who were having their own little conversation ahead of you, "You have a brother in the military?"

"Survey corps to be more specific. Humanity's strongest is what many call him," you added. Armin simply hummed as a response seeing as he didn't have much to offer to the conversation. "What about you?"

He slightly jumped at the question, "huh? Me?"

"Who else?" you raised a brow at him. His face turned slightly pink at his dumb question. There was a long pause as if he wasn't sure what to say. "What is it that you want to achieve?"

His blue eyes looked at the ground before looking at Eren who was ahead, "Ever since we were little, we dreamt of getting to see the ocean. A large body of water that seems endless and is full of salt. So much salt that it will be impossible to get it all out."
