It was nice to have the afternoon off for once. Christa had been chased from every room in the castle until she was ultimately instructed to go outside and relax. Right. Relax. There was no Ymir to chase after. No Sasha and Connie to keep out of trouble.
How did people make the day go by without worrying about others?
The sunlight filtering through the trees did feel good against her skin though, leaving her little to complain about. Maybe she did need some time to thaw out and clear her mind. The petite blonde sighed heavily, lacing her fingers together behind her head as she peered up at the canopy.
Letting her gaze flutter back to the ground, she spotted the familiar face of Eren asleep against a tree. Careful not to wake him, Christa walked over and knelt down beside him, tilting her head curiously. He looked unhappy, as if something heavy burdened him in his sleep. Or had Heichou just become such an influence on the boy that he was starting to look like him in his sleep?
Smiling softly, she braced herself on the tree to lower herself to her knees. It was silly, but she wanted to see Eren smile. Closing her eyes, she pressed her soft lips to his slightly parted tiers, lingering for only a moment. A light blush tinted her cheeks as she pulled away, watching to see if his expression changed at all.
Though a few wrinkles in his forehead had lessened, there wasn't much of a change. "Oh well, at least I tried," She whispered softly, brushing his bangs from his face before going on her merry way back to the castle. Maybe Mikasa could help her carry him back.
