ErenxReader - An Arm's Race

"No, Sasha I am way more flexible than you." You said pointing at her.

She shook her head. "Lies, lies, lies."

You huffed and her and pulled your leg up, to where you were doing the spits vertically. She did the same as you. Giving her a dirty look, you put your leg down and though for a moment. You snapped your fingers and looked back up at her, giving an evil grin. You bent backwards and put your hands on the ground, keeping your feet at the same spot.

"Bet you can't do the bridge!" You said, smirking at the ground. Surely you had her here.

Nope. Sasha quickly copied you and began boasting. "Face it ______, you aren't as flexible as me! You never will be~"

You stood back up and began thinking again. You never would have imagined that she could do that stuff, but what all could she do? You groaned and rubbed your head thinking again. Looking over, you saw Mikasa, Eren and Armin. Back that up, you saw Eren, whom happened to be your only crush in the cruddy training camp. Determined to not be defeated in front of him and driven by that girly admiration for him, you began to think harder. Once again, you snapped your fingers, signaling an idea.

"Oh, you got something?" Sasha said, raising an eyebrow as she munched on a piece of bread that had appeared out of nowhere.

You nodded and gave a devilish look. "Handstand race."

She gulped and smiled. "You're on! Where to?"

You looked over to where Eren was. Surely if you beat Sasha he'd be impressed, right? You accepted that and pointed at the post he stood by. "That post, right there."

She caught sight of it and nodded. She got the attention of Connie, whom accepted the position as referee. Then, both of you lined up and did a handstand. Knitting your eyebrows together, you smirked. This was going to be a piece of cake.

"On your mark....get set....GO!" Connie yelled, signalling the race to begin.

You were off. Both of you wobbling your way to the post, getting quite a few stares from the other recruits. That didn't matter because you were going to win. Already you both were over half way there, but you were still pretty even with her. You tried going faster, but was only equaled by her. Damn, she was good. You were only a couple of feet away,and definetly had the attention of the small group of friends, more importantly Eren. Things took a sudden turn for the worst when your hand hit a rock causing you to tumple over. Sasha kicked the post with her foot and turned upright, running over to help you. You curled up in a ball and hid from her.

"_______? ________! Are you okay?" She asked poking at you with her finger.

"LEAVE ME ALONE WITH MY SHAME." You said, dramatically curling up tighter.

"Aww, don't be like that! Wanna go tease Jean?"

"THE SHAME, THE HORROR!"

"Don't be such a downer!"

Then the thing you least expected happened. Eren had walked over and kneeled by you without you noticing and was now patting your back. "______, you should practice and then next time you'll kick her butt for sure!"

You sniffed and looked up. "You really think I can?"

He nodded and gave a determined look. "Heck yeah, I'll help you train if you want!"

Your eyes went alit at the though of just you two doing handstands into the sunset. You rose up from your position and gave him a hug, which ended up startling him. Soon enough he relaxed and hugged you back. The moment was ruined for you when Sasha came out with a big "Awww, look at the lovebirds!"

"SHUT IT SASHA!" You and Eren both spouted in sync.

This made her laugh harder and caught the attention of Connie whom came over to join the fun.

"________  AND EREN SITTING ON THE WALL ROSE, KISSING AND HUGGING AND CURLING UP THEIR TOES!" They both began to sing and shout, causing most people to look curiously, but you and Eren just got angry and flustered.

"SHUT UP OR ELSE!" You threatened.

"Or else what?~" Sasha sang.

You looked at Eren whom nodded. Both of you stood up and got in running positions. They still didn't stop. At the count of three you both began chasing after them in attempts to correct them. In the end their instructor, Keith Shadis, caught you all and forced you to run laps until each person passed out. In your opinion it still wasn't that bad, you did get to hang out with Eren after all, even if you were a sweating, panting mess while doing so.
