Annie silently slipped into the male Barracks. It smelt like teenage boy sweat and desperation, most likely coming from Jean. She never understood Armin's stupid plan to wake up early but it had a few benefits. Armin walked out of male shower room with him still buttoning his shirt which caused the slightest blush to cover her nose and cheeks in a rosy hue.

He smiled as they walked towards the mess hall with his books in one hand and his arm dangerously close to hers. She kept averting her eyes from his large, handsome, watery blue eyes… It would be a lie if she said she didn't have a small large crush on him and these study dates only made it worse.

He snapped his fingers in-front of her face to take her out of her thoughts. "Annie you seemed distracted. You asked me for these seasons for a reason correct?" He asked, a small stutter was easy to see in his words. She nodded and pushed her hair back slightly as they sat down.

She couldn't help but drift off as soon as he started to recap on what has already been told about Titans in their class. It was pretty and lets just say she knew far more. His small cute face, his large button nose, his annoying bowl cut, his damn kissable lips. Not that she would know the first thing about relationships. She was called the 'Lone Wolf' her entire life for a reason. Mainly her common bland face or her contestant down putting feeling she carried around with her which made it such a surprise Armin openly accepted her as a friend. Armin Arlet, the same kid who passes every test, the same kid that is known for his innocent face and dark thinking of the taboo interest. She felt her stomach sink, the fact she hid the secrets of how the world looks from him.

Before she knew it Armin grabbed her face, getting her back from her damned dreaming. "Annie, were you listening. I said something, do you mind repeating it?" He asked before she shook her head and pulled her closer. Turning his head to the side as his lips touched her's. Annie looked on his blushing face before following him as they did the thing.

Only for a loud slam of the door, 'damn it.' She thought. "HEY ANN-" That voice, it was fucking Reiner. That damn blonde. Without a thought Bertholdt was also with him. Reacting quickly she pulled away from Armin and pushed past the two giant child hood friends.

So close. Fucking damn those two fuckers.
