They were adorable; they were everyone's relationship goals. They always walked together as other couples stood and watched in awe. They connected like no other couple at their school and their relationship was even supported by faculty members in the academy. There was just one tiny problem, they were not a couple. Yes, Mikasa Ackerman and Eren Yeager were not a couple. They lived in the same house, they spent the majority of their time together directly next to each other, but they were not a couple. Mikasa wasn't one to question it, his family had done everything to give her a comfortable lifestyle and she wasn't going to ruin no matter how bad EVERYONE could see how desperately she wanted to pursue a relationship with him. He didn't seem to appreciate her. Not that it bothered her much, she did owe him her life. Personally, she hated this school. Before her and Eren came here, his passion was a rare quality that many people either disliked him or avoided him for. Now, everyone had the same mentality he does which makes him get along with every single student. It bothered her, she didn't want Eren to be lonely but she didn't like herself being lonely either. Eren no longer just spoke with her or Armin, but branched out to every student like he was getting paid millions for it. She wonders if she's just exaggerating or if Eren had been driving her insane. She's always been overprotective, so she didn't understand he would get so offended now and swear he can take care of himself. He had even gotten so mad at her once that he avoided speaking to her for a day. It just wasn't the same anymore, it was like he didn't want to be around her anymore. She's aware of how ridiculous she sounds and grips the silk red scarf wrapped around her neck. She only wishes for him to treat her how he used to.

"You should tie your hair up." Eren said as he pulled a hair tie out of her locker. "If we're going into combat, you wouldn't want your hair in the way." She mumbled out a thank you as she lifted her dark locks in order to tie them up.

"What's wrong?"

"Let's go to class."


He had been training with Reiner for the majority of the period. Apparently, Advanced Combat was offered at their school, and of course Eren wanted to participate. In his opinion, Reiner was the best guy to train with. He was a muscle meathead who had no problem throwing a punch, unlike his insanely tall step-brother, Bertholdt. They had been going back and forth, attacking each other with fake daggers, and slamming each other down on the roof ground.

"Look who's skipping again. Reiner said with a hint of mischief in his voice. It was the girl who was with Armin early, Annie if he recalled. Reiner had left him to go approach the girl who was heading in their direction. Thinking about it, he hadn't seen her fight a single time, he wasn't even aware that she was in their class since she never came.

"You should start taking training more seriously. Slacking off all period isn't going to help you, your height, or your horrible combat skills." That was a little too harsh on Reiner's part. Maybe she didn't come to class because of being teased.

"That was a little too harsh, Reiner." Eren didn't realize he was a few feet away from a vicious female beast. She was upset, no she was pissed. "Eren, are you ready to fight her?"

"What do I have to do with this?"

"I thought you loved surprises." K Reiner said as he shoved Eren forward.

"Do you know how the exercise works?" He didn't get a reply. She to her stance and before he could even start, he was on the ground.

"You're supposed to take the dagger, Annie." He wondered if this is what gymnastics felt like because he was getting flipped and crashing everywhere.

She wondered if this was what being a yandere girl was like. Being so angry that anger can't even begin to describe it. Feeling jealousy shake uncontrollably in your body. She couldn't control herself when the little blonde straddled herself on top of Eren as part of the training exercise. There was no part of the exercise where a person should be straddling the other. She wanted to know exactly what she was doing and why the hell she was doing it. She watched as she detached herself from Eren, then planting Reiner on the floor. Mikasa wasn't sure exactly what it was, but she did not at all appreciate the way Annie looked at him when he called her name. She heard Armin call her name by chose to ignore it, as what she was witnessing was far more important than the training exercise they were doing.

"Where'd you learn how to fight like that?"

"My dad."

"It's really cool. Can you teach it to me?" Annie didn't strike her as the smiling type. She thought of her more like the girl with heavy eyeliner in dark clothes who hated the world and swore that the world was her enemy and that no one understands her. Yet her she was, walking with Eren in her direction and smiled at his statement.

"Alright." She made eye contact with her. "Beasts aren't welcomed."


It didn't take a genius to tell Mikasa wasn't acting like herself. She wasn't hasn't even looked him in the eye since lunch. She sat next to him, but she hasn't said a word to him. Whenever he asked her if something was bothering her, she shook her head without even looking him in the eye. Maybe she was upset with something he had said earlier. Did she catch him dancing to Ed Sheeran again?

"You know Mikasa, it makes me sad seeing you upset." She didn't respond. She probably knew he was just saying something to make her have some kind of reaction. He wasn't lying, seeing Mikasa upset didn't sit to well with him and he would play with her scarf until she felt better. Just then, a horse appeared out of nowhere.

"May I say that you have the most beautiful hair I've ever seen?" Eren learns something new every day, for example, he learned that horses can now speak.

"Thank you." She mumbled out without looking up from her paper.

"What's your name?" Eren could hear his own blood boiling, it actually had a very pleasant sound.

"Mikasa." He did not understand why she was replying back to him. He was a damn horse after all.

"I'm Jean Kirstein." Wow the horse has a legal name. "May I have the honor of receiving your number?"

"She's not interested horse-face. Get lost."
