A.N: Hello! This is a collection of SnK one shots featuring various characters and some pairings. Will have some spoilers, but I'll try to warn about those in the author's notes before each story. Also, note that I've published some of these in tumblr already, so if you feel like you've read them before, it's not because I stole them.
This first one stars Reiner, Sasha and certain other characters. Spoilers are up to chapter 105, so anime only people, be aware!
You'll Regret This
BANG!
Reiner frowned, studying the target board. He'd hit it, thank god he was no longer bad enough to miss, but the bullet went nowhere near the center. Damn.
BANG!
Seeing the target board next to his own get hit right in the center, he expected to see Bertolt next to him. But no, it was Potato girl.
"Sasha, remember that her name is Sasha. She doesn't take it well when people call her Potato girl" he reminded himself.
"Nice shot" he said, making her look up "Thank you."
Then, she looked at his board, quirking an eyebrow as she did so.
"You on the other hand still need some practice"
Reiner snorted. As much as he wanted to take offense, there was no way he could when it was completely true and came from someone so much better than him.
"Yeah, I do" he admitted "But at least I didn't completely miss the target."
Sasha snorted, also knowing that some other cadets had done just that.
"Yeah, you didn't" Sasha agreed "And you're either average or above in pretty much everything, so it's not like the instructor will maim you when he notices."
The "but he'd kick my ass" that Sasha left unsaid was clear to Reiner. The girl was on instructor Shadis' bad side, he knew.
"I still don't like the idea of not getting a hang of this" he said "I aim for the military police where guns are actually used from time to time after all."
Sasha looked thoughtful for a while before saying: "I could teach you."
Reiner's eyebrows shot up in surprise. He had considered the girl to be the selfish kind and besides-
"Aren't you also aiming for the top ten? Is it okay to help someone you're competing with?"
"You do that all the time too, don't you?" Reiner couldn't deny that "Besides, even if I help you out, this is the one thing the great Reiner Braun won't be able to beat me in."
The smile on Sasha's face after that was smug, and not without a reason. Still, Reiner kind of wanted to wipe it off her face.
"I'll accept your offer, then" he said with a grin of his own "And one day you'll regret teaching me."
Smirking, Sasha said: "I'll look forward to that."
XXXXX
BANG!
The bullet hit the target, but not the center of it. Gabi was not happy, Reiner could tell.
"Chill, it wasn't that bad of a shot" Zofia said, not taking her eyes off of her own target as she hit it right in the center "Everyone's lacking at something."
Gabi glared at her, about to say something, but didn't as she noticed Reiner behind her.
"Reiner!" she cheered "Can you teach me?"
"Sure" Reiner said. He was better at shooting than he used to be and Gabi didn't seem to have a natural talent for it like Zofia, so he was sure he could be of some use. It was time for him to help others the way he'd once been helped.
XXXXX
Reiner had seen a lot of death in his rather young life, he'd caused a lot of death, so it was no wonder he barely felt anything as he stood in front of the grave. The grave of a someone he'd once called a friend, killed by his cousin.
"This was for the best; she was a dangerous enemy with those shooting skills…" a memory came to his mind from years ago, the smug smile in front of him like it had been just yesterday.
"Hey Sasha" he says to the silence as a single tear slides down his cheek "I told you I'd make you regret teaching me, didn't I?"
