The Little Things

There were little things that Annie would do that often caught Mikasa's attention.

For example, Annie would have the strange habit of leaving her clothes on the floor when heading to the bathroom. They would lead into a trail all the way to her destination to where the door was closed and presumably locked. Then she'd come out of the shower with nothing but her towel on and promptly pick up her clothes before going to get dressed. All of this while Mikasa was sitting in the foyer reading.

Then there was the little moments when she'd be eating cereal after waking up past noon. Her tongue would flick out lazily lapping at the milk in her spoon before slurping it down. She'd take her sweet time licking at the dribble of milk that escaped down her chin then leave her bowl in the sink without washing it.

Mikasa's eyebrows furrowed as she could see the blonde passing by as she read her book. She was lounging on the couch sitting vertically with her legs propped up on the table. Annie slid onto the couch horizontally and kicked her feet up laying them across Mikasa's lap and covering the book's contents while stretching herself out to sleep. Mikasa waited one minute then it turned into two, and then three before her eyebrows furrowed.

"Why do you do that?" She muttered, staring at the blonde who lazily turned to glance at her.

"Do what?"

Mikasa snapped her book close and placed it on the side table.

"Your little habits and irritating little things that constantly happen." Mikasa didn't know how to explain it, but Annie had to have known what she was doing. It was almost impossible not to notice.

"Ackerman, its not my fault that you're transfixed on me."

And there it was. That little smirk. The upward turn of her lips that reached her eyes. It soon dawned on Mikasa that maybe Annie wanted her to notice. Those little antics had been going on for such a time that Mikasa couldn't help but glance over or look out for them, and it only made her more keen on Annie.

"I'm not transfixed on you.."

The words left Mikasa's lips but they were filled with disbelief.

"Oh really?" Annie sat up and drew her legs back before coming closer to Mikasa.

The ravenette leaned slightly away as the blonde came closer but as her back touched the armrest of the couch, she found she couldn't get away. Had Annie's eyes always been that blue? Was her skin always that pale and clear? Her hair was a nice shade of blonde, and her face was really close. A hand touched Mikasa's arm and she felt her breath hitch.

"There is a lot of things that I notice about you, Mikasa. You always hide your mouth behind that scarf when you're embarrassed. You practice a lot in the morning, afternoon, and night before meals to keep yourself fit. Good job by the way. And if nothing else was more obvious, you have a thing for me."

Mikasa's heart jumped into her throat and she could feel her chest pounding. Annie's lips ghosted over hers, and she could feel her breath tingling against her skin.

"You're lucky I like blondes.." She managed to choke out, too stunned to claim the other woman.

"I'm glad you noticed I like dark-haired girls too."

"Annie! Mikasa! We're home! Please tell me you haven't killed eachother - WHAT THE!"

"Hey Armin, whats the hold u-"

Mikasa had been sharing a house with Annie for the time being. It was a nice arrangement since Annie didn't want to be on her own since Bertholdt and Reiner went on vacation. At first, they were skeptical about the two of them being on their own in a house together. It didn't seem very safe at all. But over time, they proved to be adults and fell into a routine. But this was a new scene. In the living room, the t.v had been shoved off its stand and the couch was near the door. There was a trail of clothes hanging off the ceiling fans, coat racks, and littering the floor. Armin hid behind Eren as the two of them began to step about the house taking in the damage. The washing machine was on, and the kitchen table was over turned, the shower was left running and by the time they got to Mikasa's room - they could see Annie with her hair down cuddled up to a half-naked Mikasa who had only been wearing sweatpants.

The dark-haired girl gave a half hearted wave to her brother along with her best friend before adjusting Annie against her chest.

"Do I even want to know what you guys did in here...?"

Mikasa glanced down at Annie and Annie looked back at her before they shook their head.

"So you guys are uh... really chummy, huh?"

Annie looked towards Mikasa again and Mikasa glanced down at the blonde before they shared a smile and shrugged.

"I'm glad you noticed."

Hey guys! This is OUAP.

I decided to start writing more fanfiction again! Yay! And what is better than aggressive Mikannie with a little bit of irony? Anyhow, sorry that this Authors Note is short. I have a lot of things to grind out in a minute. But I would like to announce that I am taking requests of any kind along with little ideas to put apart of this (hopefully) series!.
