Reluctant Heroes (Jean x Reader x Eren) CHAPTER 5
“You’re falling behind, [Last Name]!
Your head snapped up at the sound of your name only to realise you were indeed lagging behind the rest of the group. You gritted your teeth and increased your pace, leaving a panting, stumbling Armin behind in the mud until you were level with Jean again in the middle of the group. The entire 104th Training Squad were sullen and shivering, hoods pulled up against the cold rain. The cloaks did little against the sleet and you were all soaked through within minutes.
Jean threw you a sideways glance. “What was that about?” he hissed.
You returned his look with a glare. “IR

The wind was a deep rumble in the crisp afternoon air, sending smoke-coloured clouds rolling across the sky like a breathing, shifting canvas. Filling the ambiance was the mild buzz of rain, as a light shower descended upon the outpost in gentle, noisy cascades. Nature and civilization alike gleamed under the rainfall, with cool droplets of water dripping steadily from leaves, rooftop edges, window panes... and wandering trainees caught in the torrent.
Avoiding the brunt of the rain, Marco and Jean had managed to find shelter inside the covered deck of their dormitory buil

Eren Jaeger was dripping from head to toe with bathwater, donning nothing but a towel around his waist as he hurried in frantic pace through the hallways of the bath house. In tow behind him was Armin Arlert, who looked just as bewildered (and red-faced) as he was. And trying desperately not to drop his towel.
"Oi. You guys!" he said loudly, demanding attention. "I heard Connie freaking out in the changing rooms just now - and was that [First] wandering around in here?!"
With footsteps that squelched with water and left shining puddles on the steam-slicked tiles, he approach

By the end of the day, the girls were in a clamour over the course of dinnertime.
"...So apparently," Mina chirped animatedly, proudly sporting an impressive number of bandages on her rosy-cheeked face. "The boys are due for extended drills in the wee hours of the morning from now until graduation, courtesy of Keith Shadis. I expect he was little peeved at their conduct during today's little sparring activity."
"To say the least," Ymir remarked at the table, wearing an unpleasantly smug smile. To see the men scattered throughout the dining hall, a look of utmost doom

A beaming Marco was there to congratulate you at the firing range, approaching you with a newly-polished flintlock rifle slung on his shoulder. "You did it, [First]! You were absolutely brilliant in that last exam! Where the class ranking is concerned, I'd say that you're at least on par with Connie and Sasha for eighth place!"
And as you recalled, that was directly below Marco and Jean, both of whom were currently dueling it out for fifth, and sixth. Possibly seventh, as well. Darkhorse Eren Jaeger was starting to become a major factor of unpredictability in the placement competition, much to Jean's chagrin.

"MOVE THOSE ROTTING LEGS, YOU MISERABLE DOGS!" The roar of Keith Shadis shattered the tranquility of the forest, like thunder in the pouring rain.

The water-soaked ground was hammered into mud by a stampede of footfalls, all belonging to the 104th Trainees Division. Mounted on horseback, a cloaked Shadis herded his charges relentlessly through the torrential rainstorm, his demonic eyes scourging the crowd for anyone who wasn't pulling their weight.

You slept fitfully that night. When you blearily blinked your eyes open the next morning, your head was spinning - and your body was sore beyond comprehension. Your muscles screamed in agony and protest as you struggled to rise from your bunk, and your bones felt ready to snap at the slightest touch. You felt a strain pulling your back and abdominal muscles - a reminder of the hellish run in which you were strapped into the 3D Maneuver Gear. Alarmingly enough, you also felt a strange soreness crisscrossing over the surface of your skin, around your chest, back, shoulders and legs.
Nearly tumbling out of your bunk,

You were the last to return to the barracks that night, fresh from a long soak in the baths, a towel draped around your neck. The nerves had been left frayed so thin after your earlier encounter with Jean were finally starting to unwind. As you quietly meandered your way up the path leading to the women's dormitories, you distractedly lifted a hand to comb your fingers through the damp locks of your hair.
A familiar tugging sensation against your scalp sparked the memory of Jean's savage grin. Your eyes widened. As you abruptly held your breath, you had a brief vision of his sharp amber eyes staring into yours, a

Marco's observations were correct. You really did go out of your way to keep everyone else at arm's length. Perhaps it was partly a result of your encounter of Jean Kirschtein right at the start of Day One, but before you knew it, your reputation of being disconcertingly aloof and distant had been set in motion. A good day or two had passed since you sent Kirschtein to the ground with a foot to the knee - aaaaand... that instance alone pretty much summed up your entire share of consequential human interaction for that period of time.
Go you, Miss Popularity.
It wasn't as though you were outright hostile to a

"Oi, Jean! How's that knee of yours doing?" Connie teased in his characteristically loud and obnoxious voice, unabashedly taking the empty seat next to Jean in the mess hall. "Everyone's been goin' on about how you've been walkin' funny these past few days. You sure that [Last] chick didn't take out anything more important than a kneecap with that foot of hers? Didn't look like she aimed that low from where I was standing."
At Connie's ribbing, Jean grated his teeth and clenched his fist over the bun he was holding, inadvertently reducing it to crumbly bits all over the table.
"Funny you should mention that,
