"This is literally the fifth time we lost him," Jean complained. "Where did he go?"
"Hey guys! Did you check out that candy store down the street?" Eren asked while approaching the group with two bags full of candy.
"You went to that store twice already," Mikasa stated.
"Eren, if you keep wondering off like that, we're not going to have time to do anything except try and send a search party for you," Hannes warned.
"You see?" Jean spat. "This is why we can't have nice things."
"Why you-"
"Just stop leaving and wasting everyone's time," Ymir stated.
"Or just put a leash on him," Levi uttered.
"Levi, I'm kinkshaming," Erwin said loudly.
"Not in that way," Levi stated calmly.
"That's a good idea, actually," Farlan stated.
"Where are we going to find one though?" Auruo asked.
"I remember Reiner said he was bringing one," Connie said nonchalantly.
Everyone stared at Connie.
"Why on earth would Reiner bring a leash to a summer field trip to Spain?" Eren asked.
"When I asked him the same thing, he told me not to worry about it," Connie said.
"Whatever, just text him and ask for it," Mikasa said.
"Wait are we really putting me on a leash?" Eren asked.
- five minutes later -
Eren fidgeted with the black, leather collar on his neck. "We are really putting me on a leash."
"And now, who wants to take care of that?" Jean asked.
"Nose game," Annie said before everyone promptly touched their noses. However, everyone peered over to the one person who happened to notice too late.
"Well, shit," Jean complained. He took the leash into his hand.
"I'm kinkshaming," Erwin stated.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Jean uttered. "To the museum and whatever. You wonder off and I'm choking you with this."
"Double kink shame," Ymir added.
"Guys, guys," Marco settled everyone down. "We shouldn't be kink shaming Jean since he did absolutely nothing... instead let's kink shame Reiner for having this in the first place."
"He also said he wanted it back in tip top shape," Connie added.
"Is that kid okay?" Farlan asked quietly.
"You get used to it," Annie replied.
- meanwhile -
"Reiner, I know I shouldn't be surprised, but I'm kink shaming you,"
Christa stated.
"It's not a kink thing," Reiner said.
"Yeah right," Armin uttered. "Anyways, how about we visit the Sagranda Família Basilica? I'm very interested in observing its intricate architecture-"
"Flamenco dancing," Reiner interrupted.
"Oh no," Bertolt uttered.
"Or the Barri Gótic?" Petra suggested. "I've always wanted to see gothic style buildings up close."
"Yeah that's a good one," Sasha stated.
"Flamenco dancing is a good one too," Reiner said.
"Or La Rambla," Isabel said. "It's apparently a really popular amount tourists."
"And pickpocketers," Gunther added.
"It's okay," Hanji spoke up. "Mike can smell them."
"Behind you, Erd," he grunted.
Erd turned around to see a pickpocketer reach towards him.
"Hey! Scram!" Erd said as he shooed the man away.
"See? We're good?" Hanji stated.
"So many good suggestions?" Pixis said as he rubbed his chin. "But I believe I am most intrigued by Flamenco dancing!"
"Please don't encourage hi-" Bertolt began, but Reiner was already hollering out of his mind.
"Which I will arrange so we will visit a dance last with the other group," Pixis continued. "Best for last of course. For now let's go to the, uh, other places."
"Wow what enthusiasm for sightseeing," Petra said sarcastically.
- a while later -
"And here we are at the Sagranda Basílica!" Hannes said.
"What marvelous architecture!" Marco exclaimed while taking pictures of it with a professional and pricy looking camera.
"Aren't you afraid that your camera might get stolen or lost or something?" Nanaba asked.
"Nah," Marco smiled. "Besides this is one of my cheaper ones. I have three other cameras at home." He paused to take another picture of the basilica. "One of which is a Polaroid," he continued.
"Hey look!" Eren exclaimed. "A Españan food cart!" He began to run off in that direction before Jean caught him.
"Hey!" Jean fought back as he pulled on the leash.
"You're strangling me!" Eren croaked.
"Not my fault, Jaeger," Jean spat as he pulled harder.
"Did Eren just say 'Españan'?" Auruo asked.
"That's saying something about Eren's IQ if even Auruo knows that's wrong," Erwin stated.
Auruo turned to face Erwin, appearing offended. "Hey!"
"Eren stop resisting!" Jean continued to shout.
"I will when I'm dead!" Eren shouted back.
"Which will be in approximately 15 seconds if you keep trying to run away!" Jean snapped back.
"You know what?" Hannes stepped in. "Eren's probably just hangry again. We should probably stop for lunch before we go anywhere."
"I say we have paella!" Marco exclaimed. "I would love to try a cultural dish."
"Strangely enough, you know what I'm in the mood for?" Connie asked. "Tacos."
"Connie, you stupid bean burrito, that's Mexican," Jean insulted.
"I know!" Connie said. "That's why I said strangely enough!"
"This is going to be the longest trip," Hannes sighed.
- a little later after that -
"Here we are in La Bamba," Pixis stated.
"La Rambla," Petra corrected.
"That's what I said, Petra," Pixis said. "Please pay attention."
"We should be wary of pick pocketers, though," Armin stated. "This place is notorious for that. Luckily I came prepared."
"Hey Erd," Gunther whispered to him. "I say you go test how prepared this kid is."
"If I do you owe me five bucks," Erd said.
"Deal."
Erd waited until they began walking to see out his plan. He reached into Armin's pocket and grabbed a palm-sized spherical object. Confused to what it would be, he pulled it out. His brain barely had the time to process that it was a smoke bomb before it exploded in his face. However, he quickly realized it only looked like a smoke bomb. In reality, it was a really powerful confetti bomb that knocked him right off his feet.
"Lesson number one: ward off pickpocketers with smoke bombs," Armin stated. "But since we're in a public tourism area that may cause panic, I turned it into a confetti bomb."
"I can see that," Erd said as he coughed out confetti.
"Wait, so you're combatting one asshole move by doing another one?" Christa asked.
"Yep!" Armin said proudly.
"Hey guys!" They heard Eren shout out as he dragged Jean over to the group even though Jean was the one who had the leash.
"Look who just escaped the yaoi dungeon," Hanji joked.
"How have your vocal chords not broken?" Jean said as he struggled to keep up with Eren.
"Hey! Be careful with that!" Reiner shouted, pointing to the collar and leash.
"Reiner, you know our entire group is kink shaming you for having this," Eren stated.
"Same here," Pixis said.
"I told you, it's not like that," Reiner replied.
"Yeah right," Jean uttered. "So how's your guys trip going?"
"Eren's gone, Jean," Armin said.
Jean looked to the end of the leash and realized that it was no longer attached to anything. He frantically surveyed the crowd to see Eren sprinting down the street still with his collar on.
"I should have done this sooner!" His distant voice made it back to the group.
"Well," Jean sighed. "I have to get him. And when I do, I'm murdering him."
"Look on the bright side," Sasha spoke up. "If you murder him he won't run away from you again!"
"Exactly," Jean said before running after Eren.
"Levi," Pixis called out. "Hunt him down."
"Why?" Levi asked.
"Because you're fast and you proven to be quite responsible so far," Pixis explained.
"Fine," Levi grunted.
- ten minutes later -
"Kirschtein! Get off my back!" Eren demanded.
"You'll just run off again!" Jean snapped back as he pinned Eren's arm behind his back.
"Damn right, I will!"
Levi sighed as he stood there, observing the two of them struggle. "Eren?"
"Yeah?" Eren immediately calmed down.
"Wha?" Jean spat, completely shocked by the immediate change.
"We need to get back," Levi stated. "It's getting late, we're losing daylight, and it's dangerous to be on our own."
"Alright," Eren agreed, pushing a speechless Jean to the side. He brushed himself off and glanced back at Jean who was staring at him with a hanging jaw.
"But- what the? Huh? Bu- but how?" Jean asked.
"Naturally, I tend to get along with people I don't hate," Eren stated.
"Fine," Jean grunted as he begrudgingly stood up.
Eren triumphantly looked towards the sky with his hands on his hips. "Now let's head black to the group."
"Easier said than done," Levi said. "I tried to map out where we were going by remembering turns and all, but I lost track after you led us in a circle for five minutes."
"I couldn't keep track of where we were going either," Jean said.
"So," Eren's smile diminished immediately. "That would mean..."
"We're lost in Spain," Levi stated.
