"AND THEN-" Jean was about 6 glasses deep and in the middle of telling a story of a time when Ymir had successfully negotiated with the local government.

it is impressive that she managed to stay calm long enough to do that

"Oh shut up we've already heard this one before," Eren grumbled over his drink, glaring daggers at Jean.

THAT CAN'T BE GOOD

"Eren's right, we get it you think she's cool, shut up," Hitch grumbled, too drunk to even begin meditating.

MIKASA ??

"I'm only in charge of bringing them back in one piece," she shrugged, leaning back in her chair.

this is going to be disastrous

"You're the one who said I didn't have to worry," Ymir leaned down, whispering in my ear.

WELL NOW I'M WORRIED

"Are you sure they aren't going to hurt each other?"

TO BE CLEAR IM NOT SCARED ABOUT WHAT THEY DO IN THIS RESTAURANT

IM SCARED ABT WHAT THEY DO TO EACH OTHER

THIS IS ALL GOING TO REFLECT ON MY FATHER ANYWAY

"It's fine," Armin reassured me, "Jean won't notice until he's done talking, and he isn't going to stop talking."

i guess you're right

Jean appeared to have not heard Eren's comment over the sound of his own voice, and for the past hour, he had been launching into story after story.

they know each other so well

"If you worry about them too much you'll start getting hair loss," Historia commented between mouthfuls of food. "It's not like we can really do that much to stop it if a fight does break out."

i'm starting to understand why they're banned from so many establishments

"Well- if your captain is as talented as jean suggests I'm sure you can do something," I glanced over at Ymir, meeting her gaze.

"I'm not in the business of beating up my own crew, someone else's sure," she hummed, taking a drink. "Are you happy Y/N?"

WHAT A TERRIFYING QUESTION

"Isn't that a bit-"

I DON'T KNOW AM I ???

"Huh?" She looked up at me, confused, "is there something wrong?"

NO ?? I JUST ?? DON'T KNOW HOW TO ANSWER THAT SO SUDDENLY ??

"I guess I'm happy? That's a difficult question to answer-"

i could always be happier ???

"No I meant-" she chuckled, "are you happy with dinner?"

ah .

"Oh-" I felt heat rising to my cheeks, "it's good, I feel like I should be asking you that question."

"I'm just happy everyone else is happy, food is food you won't survive at sea if you can't eat shit sometimes." She shrugged, reaching out to brush hair out of my face. "I hope you're happy too."

well-

"I think I am," I smiled glancing around at the group each of them engrossed in their own small conversations. "I'm happy they're happy."

"I hope you can be happy just for yourself, you deserve it," she hummed.

IT'S NOT LIKE IM HORRIBLY DEPRESSED OR ANYTHING

I JUST ENJOY IT WHEN OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAPPY

I DON'T THINK THAT MEANS THAT I NEGLECT MYSELF

but it is true that-

it's a little hard to be totally optimistic and happy when all this shit is happening

but i'm making the most of it

that's all you can do

"Stop zoning out like that- I'm worried you're thinking something stupid," she frowned at me, "be happy."

yes ma'am

"Your wish is my command."

that would be a weird thing to protest about anyway

"I should say the same thing to you- I feel like you prevent yourself from doing things just because you feel like you aren't allowed to enjoy yourself- but you deserve to."

if there's anyone who deserves to enjoy things it's you

"What are you talking about- I enjoy life plenty-"

"You're the one who refused to come dress shopping with me- who knows you may end up enjoying things like that."

I WILL TAKE YMIR SHOPPING WITH ME ONE DAY.....

WHETHER IT BE TOMORROW OR THE DISTANT FUTURE

IT WILL HAPPEN

"Not my kind of crowd," she wrinkled her nose and shook her head.

cute

"You're enjoying this aren't you?"

"Sure- but that's different."

"Not really- why not just bring along someone you want to hang out with?"

good company makes a huge difference

"Are you asking me out?"

"I'm asking you to try something new."

"With you?"

"Sure if you want to-"

"Ew gross, are you two still flirting?" Hitch cut into the conversation, "we're all sitting right here."

IT ISN'T FLIRTING

ENCOURAGING SELF IMPROVEMENT

GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER

"No-"

"Yeah what about it," Ymir teased, moving her chair closer to mine. "Jealous?"

"'Course not," Hitch winked at me.

HELP ME

"Hey- what was that about?" Ymir grumbled.

"Are you sure that you aren't the jealous one?"

"How could I possibly be jealous?" Ymir muttered, indignant.

you seem pretty jealous

"I don't know- you're awfully grumbly-" I poked her in the side, "seems like jealousy to me."

she's transparent

"How could I be jealous? You're mine aren't you?" This declaration caused everyone at the table to stop talking and stare at us.

DEAR GOD

"You're drunk."

"You're the one who said that you liked me," she grinned, "come on Y/N-I'm right, at least for this week you're mine."

"You-" my face was burning with embarrassment, the words wouldn't come to my mouth.

"Adorable," she murmured, her attention solely on me.

"Everyone is looking-" I frowned slightly, glancing off to the side.

"Who cares?"

"I do-"

a little

"In that case," Ymir stood up, her seat scraping across the floor. "We'll have to go somewhere private."

oh god

"Wha-" I was swept off my chair and into her arms, the crew cheering us on as Ymir marched out of the restaurant.

this is crazy

"Better?" I looked up at her, a drunken flush had settled over her features.

"You're crazy."
