I wanted to write something for this couple for a long time. They're so beautiful and complex, and they're my OTP. So I decided to do a series of songfic oneshots (songshots?) for songs that reminded me of them. I hope you like it!

ALL TOO WELL

She remembered seeing him for the first time, trying not to collapse in the training field. A small, wide-eyed boy, too weak to be a proper soldier.

He'd stared at her in fear after she'd defeated Eren. She'd ignored him, thinking that he would be titan food on their first mission.

She'd been wrong, hadn't she?

He was shy at first, too afraid to talk. As time passed he grew bolder, making jokes, asking questions, even dissenting with her on occasion.

She'd been cold, then silent, then had finally relented, talking to him whenever he came over. A useless distraction, growing into something treasured during her cursed time as a spy.

She'd loved his eyes. The way they would light up whenever he would talk about things which interested him. He would talk about the outside world, his thoughts and expectations, hopes and dreams, in that quiet, enthusiastic way that was unique to him. She'd just sit there, wondering how to respond, wondering why he'd picked her out of the entire squad to talk to. Wondering why he made such an effort to include her in, and why she'd let him. She'd hated everyone, yet she'd learned to love him, strange and wonderful as he was. And some part of her thought that maybe he loved her back.

Maybe he had.

She could hear him still.

"Annie, you really are a good person, aren't you?"

"Please, you have to help us."

"You'll be a bad person to me."

Was that really his voice, or was she imagining it? Inside the crystal it was hard to know, to separate the real from the imagined. What he'd pretended to be, what he'd actually been, and what he'd been forced to become.

She remembered his eyes. Standing there, looking up at her with those wide, blue eyes. Anger, guilt, sadness.

Hurt. The hurt of the betrayed.

Did he know how much she'd hurt from it? From his betrayal? The way he'd finally turned against her?

During her moments of clarity, she wondered what it would have been like, had she turned her back on those she worked for. Sided with Armin instead.

How their life would have been if they could have been with each other. Could they... truly have been together?

But one of it mattered now. What was done was done. He would move on with the Survey Corps, and she would stay here, biding her time.

He would never forgive her and she would never forgive him.

But she wondered if he would still remember her.


Its short, but I hope it captures the mood of the song (All Too Well by Taylor Swift). Its my first time doing a songfic!

Thanks for reading!

EDIT: I was asked to remove the lyrics to the song, sooooo...
