This started pit as a quick Mikannie story where I wanted to try out writing in 2nd person but I enjoyed it quiet a bit so I've decided to continue it xD

They're celebrating and drinking all around you, trying to forget all that lies outside of these four safe, warm walls. Tomorrow you will make your choice; the Scouting Legion, the Garrison or the Military Police. You hear Eren expressing his opinions and continued desire to join the Scouts and you release a low sigh as you sip more of your drink. You will follow him, after all he'll die without your protection and you made a promise five years ago to look after him.
You glance around at the other graduates until your eyes lock with hers. Ice blue orbs which burn through every defence you have and see right through to your very core, making your heart beat fast as they seem to draw a conclusion and blink away. In the distance you see her stand and leave; you follow.
She's made it a few buildings down the road when you finally catch up and pull her into an alleyway nearby. You face each other, her back against the wall, her face looking bored, and your arms either side of her head. Neither of you can tell how much time passes before you finally speak.
"Annie…"
"You're going to follow him aren't you?" she asks you flatly and all you can do is look to the side and nod once.
"He needs me to protect him." You look down at her now and almost flinch at the pain now held in her eyes. You've never seen her like this before, even when your bodies have moved against one another in passion and lust she's never seemed so naked in front of you.
"And when you die trying to protect him? Do I really mean nothing to you Mikasa?" This time you do flinch as the pain and anger in her voice pierces your heart and makes you want to drop to your knees and beg her to forgive you, to promise her that you won't leave, that you'll follow her into the Military Police instead. But that promise, five years ago, hangs in your mind and as you stand there in silence once more she realises that it's all in vain. You may love her but you can't turn away from him now.
"So, that's your decision."
Her sigh pulls you back to the present and she leans up to press her lips against yours. It's a cold kiss, full of pain and sorrow and you can taste tears but you can't tell who they are from. And then it's over; she pushes you back against the opposite wall, her face once again a cold, bored mask and walks away. By the time you regain yourself enough to move she's no-where to be seen and when you return to the common room and look around you can't see her… she's gone.
