MOONSTRUCK, levi ackerman

i. eren jaeger, the new kid

as the sun begin rising, soldiers began swarming the breakfast lounge. as a part of their routine, the cadets and soldiers sit down after filling their plate with food—not a very palatable one at that, mostly just very dry bread with no gravy, but fueling nonetheless.

sam walked her way to the breakfast lounge as she stretched her arms. waking up and feeling she had been toss around by titans is the only consistent thing in her life, her chronic back pain has been her companion longer than anyone has. not that she's complaining much, she had figured it's a package that comes with becoming a soldier.

seeing her squad already sitting and began digging into their food, sam fasten her pace. petra had already reserved a plate of breakfast for her, everyday as she always does, and sam is always very grateful of that.

petra patted an empty seat next to her, signaling for sam to sit beside her—in which the starving girl happily obliged. the food before her might not be the most delightful dish she can imagine, but when you're hungry, everything looks delicious.

noticing the absent of one of the squad members, sam asked with her mouth full of food. "where's oluo?"

sam can hear petra chuckling while muttering a quiet, "chew." before placing her palm on her puffed out cheeks.

"taking a piss." answered gunther.

while sam nodded, petra scrunched her face in disgust. "that's gross, we're eating."

"she asked! damn," gunther defended.

eld chuckled at the sight of his comrades, eating his meal in silence. it's not a new sight to see them bicker and joke around while eating, given meal times are the only times they have a minute to just sit down and pause their trainings. outside breakfast, lunch, and dinner, they don't necessarily have the luxury to have a conversation and mess around, especially under the supervision of strict commanders and instructors.

seconds of silence on the table was quickly eliminated by oluo who came jogging towards their table. "guys! guess what!" he spoke before even sitting down.

sam looked up from her plate. "your fly's down."

swiftly, oluo's hands reached for his zipper in a panic, blood was on it's way to creep up onto his face. but upon realizing his comrade had just simply messing with him—the evident being her teasing smile as she stuffed her face and petra nudging the joker with her elbow—oluo sat down. "anyways, as i was saying, eren totally caused a scene back there."

gunther furrowed his eyebrows. "what scene? it's like, 8am."

"teenagers don't care how early it is to cause a scene, schultz." oluo snickered. "kid has a short temper and his friend—what's his name again? john, jean, jenn? whatever. boy, he was pissing the shit out of him."

sam chimed in. "is he like, not afraid eren might just shift into his titan form, or something?"

oluo shrugged whilst also began digging into his now cold food. "teens, i guess. they're dumb."

sam chuckled at that. she may not be that old but she can clearly differ the behavioral between teenagers and adults. she had only met this eren kid once—not even engaging in any conversation as she just simply watched captain levi beat the living shit out of him in front of an audience. he didn't shift to his titan form back then despite being triggered to his limit, so maybe he has mastered the self discipline of being a titan shifter. but still, picking a fight with someone who just found out they had the ability to transform into a inhumane giant? not exactly the smartest move.

"where did it happen?" petra asked.

swallowing his food, oluo answered, "male's restroom—of all places. can't even pee in peace."
