Prologue
I sit, leaning back against a tree, and watch Eren Jaeger train the newest recruits. I've been in the Survey Corps for five years and Eren has been here for seven years. He was the one who trained me to get into the corps. He's a titan too. Which, at first, I didn't understand because he looks absolutely normal. One day I was doing something the Captain Levi sent me to do. I walked down this alley and a man stopped in front of me and pinned me to the wall. "Well, look it here. We seems to have a pretty girl trapped here. What should we do with her?" the man pauses as of listening to someone. He grins and nods his head "Yes, yes that sounds like a great idea. We are going to have us some fun. And you" he presses his finger into my chest between my breasts, "are not going to do anything about it" Just as I'm about to retaliate Eren turns into the alley.
The man that is pinning me down steps back, slightly startled at the buff man barreling his way towards him. I take the opportunity to strike the man. I land a kick that nobody else could land. He falls to the ground with a loud crack. I turn to face Eren and see that he isn't there anymore. Instead, in his place is a fifteen-meter titan. I had been told that he was a titan, but until now I didn't believe it. I stare at the giant in front of me, my knees weak and shaking, but I stand my ground just as I was taught to do. I watch as he reaches behind me for the man who had been threatening me.
Without really thinking about what I was doing or what he'd do, I throw myself into his hand stopping him from grabbing the man. Eren looks down at his hand and then at me, as if he is wondering how I stopped his hand from getting to the man. "No Eren, he isn't worth it" I say loudly. Pausing only momentarily, he continues to go for the man. Determined to stop him, I draw my sword "I said no, Eren!" I yell this time and he actually stops. "Leave if you know what's best for you" I tell the man behind me. He scrambles to get up and runs clumsily away. I turn to face Eren again, and am greeted by his huge hand wrapping around my waist. I'm so startled that I don't say anything. He heads in the direction of HQ. When we reach HQ he sets me down on the ground. I turn to face him and see that he is a human again. "What…was that? I ask shakily. He holds up a shaky hand to stop me. "Please, don't say anything to anybody. I'm supposed to be in control. That was the first time that I've lost control like that. Ever. Promise not to say anything to anybody" He looks at me with such pleading in his eyes that I whisper "I promise."
Something hits me in the head and brings me out of my memories. Rubbing my head I look down to see what hit me and find a shoe lying upside down by my leg. "And what was that for?" I ask looking up at Eren, who seems to be trying not to laugh. I look down at his feet and see that one of his shoes is missing. I get up, grabbing the shoe as I go, "I wonder who this shoe could possibly belong to. It most defiantly couldn't belong to my first in command because both of his shoes are on his feet." I've been Eren's second in command for three years now because we work so well together. "You were zoned out…again… and I wanted to show these newbies what a real fight looks like" Eren says smirking at me.
I raise my eyebrow and playfully wave his shoe at him. "Well you can't fight with one shoe on" I say challenging him "and I'm not going to just give it to you" He smiles and motions for me to step towards him into fighting range. "Well then I'll just have to get it back, now won't I?" He says. I smile and walk towards him. Once I step within range he lunges. I dodge it easily and dodge two more of his lunges before I land a perfect round-house kick to the side of his temple. I hear the loud crack and the gasps from the recruits watching us. Smirking, we continue fighting for a good thirty minutes before I make a small mistake. I go in for a swift, but hard, kick to his side and he grabs my ankle. I barely have time to think "Oh, shit" before he twists my ankle and sends me spiraling down to the ground with a loud thud. Before I can move to get up, he pins me with his knees. He leans down towards my face. "Er..Eren?" I say when he's so close that his lips are practically touching mine. He reaches his hand towards the side of my face. I feel heat rush into my cheeks as I blush deeply. He chuckles lightly and raise his shoe up. Smiling broadly he whispers "Got it"
