Hey, Hey, Hey everyone how you doing? I know I keep making stories without finishing them but this one is special because I'm about to keep a promise to someone. This story is dedicated to MomoNiu from Deviant Art. Her drawings of Attack on Titan are awesome and she was cool enough to let me write a Fanfiction based of her designs. This is going to be a gender bend version of the characters, all of which have different names. Hopefully you all will get what name is who as you go along but in case you don't I'll leave a list at the bottom with each name. The art I'm referring to is called Shingeki no GENDERBEND! Please check it out. It will be a great visual but other than that I hope you enjoy. Oh and Attack on Titan belongs to blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Not me you get what I mean.

The Strong Silent Type

She never knew what drew her toward him. Maybe it was his cold exterior, or his lack of friends, or his beautiful blue eyes, or maybe his amazing body. But of all those things Armene Arlet still couldn't find out why she liked him like this much. But whatever it was it didn't matter. All the mattered was that she had fallen head of heels with the most unlikeliest men in the world, the same one who scared almost everybody with his glare, the same one who rarely talked to anybody unless needed, the same one who kept throwing her friend Esen on her ass every time she tried to spar. She had a crush on the one and only, Anthony Leonhardt.

"What are you doing Armene?"

"Huh w-what?"

"I asked what are you doing. You've been reading that same page for a few minutes now."

Mikito was always one to notice when his friends were acting weird. If Esen didn't talk about murdering titans, or getting stronger to beat titans, or complain on how Jeannie was a bitch then there was obviously something wrong. For Armene to sit quietly and not even finish a page of reading definitely set up some red flags.

"Oh sorry, it's just this story is just too good and I-" Her sentence was cut off by Mikito's stare. No matter how long she knew him that stare of his would always make her talk. It was something that effected almost everybody he's ever come in contact with. The only one not affected by it was Esen, for obvious reasons. Other than her, I guess Anthony and Yamar might not be afraid but that wasn't something to look into just yet.

"Armene I can tell your lying"

"No I'm not"

"Yes you are." and right there ended the argument. She could deny it all she wanted to but he would always win. She was the girl for crying out loud, she was supposed to win the arguments.

"Really Mikito it's nothing, I was just thinking is all."

"Really about what?" Now she was in for it. There had to be something that would be believable.

"About how I'm going to get stronger."

"What?" Well she was wasn't exactly lying. She always did want to be strong so she didn't feel like a burden to her friends but it was either this or tell him she liked a guy he hated.

"Armene I keep telling you not to worry. Me and Esen will always protect you." he said gently. She knew he meant well but that didn't make her feel better. It's was saying "it's ok to be a wimp cause I'll always bail you out." type of thing.

"Yeah I know but I want to show I can hold my own."

"Armene you are the smartest out of all of us and you always come up with the good plans. We need you so don't think you're a burden because you're not."

"Thanks Mikito..." It was nice for someone to say she was useful. At least she could take pride that she was the smartest one, unlike Esen who constantly cheated off her and asked for help. Not that she minded.

Her eyes started drifting across the room. She wasn't sure what she was looking for until it was right in front of her. There in the back was Anthony sitting with Bertel and Reina. Bertel was nervous about something while Reina was talking. It looked like they were just hanging out like normal but she couldn't help but notice that Anthony was saying anything. He didn't even look like he was paying attention. In fact it looked like he was staring right at...

It was then that she realized that he was staring at her, like directly at her. She was so nervous she picked up her book and started reading as fast as she could, occasionally peaking over the top to see if he was looking at her. Sure enough he still was and now Reina and Bertel were wondering what he was staring at. Quickly she went back to her book and pretended nothing was happening but still couldn't shake Anthony gaze on her. She needed to focus on something else quick before she gave herself away anymore.

"So Esen how was 3-D training?" Esen had stopped talking about whatever it was.

"Oh man I nearly got it, I was so close, I know I can do it."

"That's great."

"I know, now if only if someone can help me out. I think I'll ask Reina and Bertel, they seem to be good at it." Esen said, getting up to leave. Now normally I'd tell him that Mikito could help him just fine but there was always a sense of sibling rivalry between Esen and Mikito. It was more one-sided as Esen hated being second best while Mikito was just oblivious to it. Either that or he didn't show interest.

Once again I could feel someone staring at me. I try to fight the urge to look but it's too much for me to bear. I must look for the sake of my sanity. I slowly turn around expecting to see Anthony, instead I see Samson up close and personal in my face. His mouth was drooling slightly like he just found a mountain of food. Then again Samson had a appetite that was, to put it lightly, inhuman.

"Hey, Armene."

"Y-yes Samson can I help you?"

"Are you going to eat that?" When she went to check what exactly he wanted from her she noticed that she hardly touched her dinner. She never did have a big appetite, hence the reason she was one of the skinnier members. Naturally she would have gave it him just so he'd get out of her face. Having a drooling person in front of you asking for you dinner while he is up close to the point where she could smell his potato breath wasn't one of her favorite things.

She picked the bread and threw it across the room. What did he expect when he was that close to her? She didn't want him anywhere near her food, even though she didn't eat as much as she should. Of course she could have asked Mikito for help but she didn't want to terrify the poor guy. Mikito was scary when it came to defending his friends. If anything he would eat the bread she had in front of him just for fun. That would be funny but it still wouldn't make the drooling Samson leave her space for another minute. So it was a win-win situation.

" YOU BETTER BACK OFF YOU POTATO PRICK!" yelled a furious Yamar. Apparently she had accidently thrown the bread at Christian, which he caught, and had it stolen by a crazy Samson jumping straight at him and stealing the bread away with his teeth. His eyes flashed red for a second and he looked like a wild animal. This apparently freaked out Christian so naturally Yamar felt the need to get angry at whatever scared his friend.

Samson got the message and backed away, taking the bread off someone's table and his own. Everything went back to normal for a minute before the front door to the mess hall was kicked open. Shardis was looking pissed.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WITH ALL THE NOISE?!" Shardis must have been relaxing or something because he looked like he was about to drop kick the nearest recruit, who happened to be Maria, who was sitting right next to Jeannie, who started choking on her potato. Thankfully Mary hit her on the back so she could breath. Nobody was saying anything, half the people didn't even know what was going on, but then Mikito stood up to address the instructor.

"Sir Samson ripped a giant fart sir." It took everyone's restraint not to laugh. Shardis turned to Samson and face palmed. Samson stood there with his mouth hanging open.

"Why am I not surprised. Learn some restrain Samson. Everyone else SHUT THE HELL UP AND GO TO SLEEP!" Shardis slammed the door.

When everyone was sure he was gone they let loose everything. Everybody was laughing their asses off, even she couldn't stop giggling. They were trying to keep it as quite as possible so Shardis wouldn't come back but this was something you just couldn't let go. Poor Samson was complaining to Mikito for embarrassing him but he just shrugged it off and gave a half assed apology. He was even nice enough to give the guy bread. Well it was more like he stuffed the bread in Samson's mouth so he'd shut up but it was the thought that counted right? At least it was better than nothing. The only few who weren't enjoying this were Mikito, being stoic as ever, Samson who was still complaining to Mikito, and Anthony who looked indifferent to it all.

The way he kept his cool like that was just so...alluring that it made her want him more. She could already feel a blush on her cheeks. But now it was time to go to sleep. Those who stayed up ended up suffering the most by the end of the day. She left the mess and walked to the girls sleeping quarters. Tomorrow was going to be hand to hand training. Just the thinking about it made her feel sore.

Well here it is, the first chapter up and running. I know I didn't jump right into the picture but I couldn't help myself once I started writing. I thought it be easier to explain the characters early so nobody would have to go back and look later on. But I will add the list to other chapters if it becomes a problem. Anyways I hope you enjoyed and please check out MomoNiu on DievantArt, I'm sure she would appreciate it.
