Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! If you are reading from a different country then, good day to you…er yeah lol. Here is a little ErenxAnnie (first time writing this). The story is not thanksgiving related lol.

Note: I don't own Attack on Titan, or its' characters -_-

Setting: AU

At this point, Eren didn't care what they were going to eat. The guys, Eren, Armin, Jean, Marco, Connie, Reiner, and Bertholdt, decided to go out since it was rare for all of them to be free at the same time. After a few hours of causing a little chaos, the gang finally succumbed to their growling stomachs.

"I seriously don't care, just pick some place," said Eren.

"Hmm how about pizza?" said Armin.

"I had pizza yesterday, why don't we try that taco place," said Connie.

"Nope, I don't like tacos," said a disgruntled Jean.

"What is wrong with you?" said Reiner with a serious face, making Bertholdt smile and Armin laughing.

Jean ignored their comments as Marco chimed in, "It's okay Jean, I don't fancy tacos either…why don't we just eat here?"

Collectively, they saw a small burger joint with a neon sign. Eren wasn't waiting for the others so he quickly went inside to finally satisfy his hunger. Opening the doors, he whiffed the smell of smoked meat sizzling on the grill. He closed his eyes and heard the sound of sparks as if they were kissing the ground beef; it was intoxicating.

"What the hell are you doing Jaeger?"

Eren quickly opened his eyes and noticed he was standing in front of the cashier's counter. He also noticed a familiar face looking back at him with a cold glare. "Oh sorry! Wait, Annie? I didn't know you worked here."

"Yes I do, now are you going to order something or not?"

Eren brought his gaze up at the menu momentarily, "Um, I'll just have a regular hamburger, heh." As Annie received his order, Eren couldn't help looking at her, after all this was the girl he had admired for a long time.

"Five dollars," said Annie as Eren gave her the money, only to have a slight reaction as he accidently touched her palm. He was going to say something until the others came in.

"Jaeger, where are you?" said Jean as he continued, "we were thinking about leaving you behind here, but we decided to just eat here."

Eren turned his attention towards the guys, "Jeez is that why you guys were still outside? I already forgot you guys were even here."

As each of them stood behind Eren, they all noticed Annie who was already not looking forward to seeing all of them.

"Yo, Annie, how you've been?" said Reiner.

"Fine," that was all anyone was going to get, after all they all knew what kind of person Annie was. Still, the others let Annie know that it was nice to see her again, as each of them ordered something on the menu and then preceded to find a place to sit. Eren, on the other hand, stayed since he wanted to talk to his former sparring partner who was counting the bills. "So, you still teaching martial arts?"

"Yeah," Annie finished her counting and looked up at his eyes, "you've stopped coming, why?"

Eren was a little taken back as he wasn't expecting a response like that from her. "Oh, uh…I was busy with other things," Eren averted his eyes away from hers, as he quickly thought of something else to say, "So, if you're still teaching, why are you working here?"

"This is my dad's place, I'm just helping out since he just fired a couple of his employees." Annie looked to her side, "Your burger is ready, here."

Eren took the plate from her hands as he motioned slowly away towards his friends.

"Is that all you got Eren? I thought you were really hungry?" said Armin.

"Yeah you were seriously whining this whole time, what gives?" said Jean.

"Shut up Jean-boy, and I'm fine with this Armin."

Everyone laughed at Eren's remark at 'Jean-boy'; it was a while since he used that nickname that Jean's mother gave him. It was a memory that was not very enjoyable to Jean, as he looked at Eren irritably.

After everyone had finished eating, they said their farewells to Annie and prepared to continue their night together.

"It was nice seeing Annie again, and she is still rocking a hot body huh, Eren," the blonde nudged at Eren. It was rumor amongst them that Eren liked Annie ever since he signed up for the martial arts course.

"Come on Reiner, don't say that," said Bertholdt.

"What, you don't think she has hot body?" Reiner turned towards his friend.

"I'm not saying that at all," said a blushing Bertholdt as he decided to close his mouth for the rest of the evening. Everyone continued walking as they thought about their next destination, but Eren already had his mind focused solely on the blonde girl.

Few hours later…

"Alright guys, I think its time to go home, I'll see ya later," said Connie.

"Yeah it was fun, let's do this again sometime," said Marco.

"Definitely," said Reiner.

The other waved towards each other as Armin walked towards Eren, "You ready? Mikasa is probably waiting for us." Armin noticed his friend looking at the opposite direction, "You alright Eren?"

"Armin, I'll see you back home, I have to do something." Eren started running towards the direction he was facing, he was starting to feel hungry again.

Annie had begun closing the doors to the burger joint, and soon heard the sound of fast footsteps approaching her from behind. Her quick reaction got her in a stance as she kicked the stranger across the face with precision timing. She possessed a killer intent, but it quickly vanished when she saw who it was, "Jaeger? Idiot, don't sneak up on a girl from behind."

"Oww…Annie, I wasn't trying to, ouch," Eren picked himself up, "are you locking up?"

"Yeah, sorry no more food, we're closed," Annie started walking past Eren as he followed her. Eren tried to match his pace with hers and was beginning to feel reluctant in what he was going to say. But he decided to go for it since he came all the way here.

"Listen Annie, I didn't really tell you the truth when I said I was busy," Eren had his eyes glued to the ground, so he didn't notice that Annie had slowed her pace. "Honestly, I was tired of getting beaten around by you, so I wanted to get more stronger on my own first."

Annie stopped as she turned towards him, "So you felt inferior that a women was beating you up?" She was beginning to loathe him until she heard his next remark.

"No, not just stronger physically, stronger emotionally, because…" Eren tore his eyes from the ground, "I-I was beginning to like you, a lot." Annie grew wide eyes as Eren continued, "So it was hard for me to face you every time, that's why I stopped coming and I wanted to know if you would like to go out with me sometime?"

Eren looked away slightly as a red tint grew on his cheeks; he didn't notice the red tint growing on her cheeks as well. Annie collected herself at the sudden confession as she looked up at Eren with a smile, "No."

"Eh…" Eren was almost speechless, "did you say, no?"

"Yes, I said no," Annie looked away as she began walking.

Eren momentarily stood still until he rushed to her side; but before he could say anything, Annie continued her response, "You need to get stronger first, right? I don't take emotion into account, you still need to beat me physically." Annie smirked feeling the nerve-wrecking boy at her side knowing that what he said wasn't easy. "Maybe I'll change my mind, if you can at least do that."

With that, Eren felt like he lost, but still managed to say one last thing, "I-I'll walk you home."

Arriving at Annie's house, Eren had some time to think and gave her the correct response, "Alright Annie, I should have known this is the kind of girl you are," Eren smirked as he watched Annie opening the door to house, not going in yet as she was very curious what the boy had to say. "I will go back to class tomorrow, and when I beat you…you will be mine." The last part was improvisation on Eren's part, as he was trying to think of something to say that won't make him sound like a fool.

"Hmph, we'll see about that, Jeager," Annie went inside and closed the door behind her.

Eren grabbed his suddenly heavy head with his right hand, "What the hell, Eren."

Inside, Annie was greeted by her father who had noticed the boy outside walking glumly, "Annie, who is the boy?"

"Nothing father, just a dork," said Annie walking up to her room with a bright smile on her face.

I was only planning on making this a one-shot, but I think another chapter sounds good, what you guys think? Ha. Enjoy the holiday guys, and stay safe :P
