No. So here is Chapter 8 with a bit of fan influence! Send me your ideas so I can work them into this story! Have fun reading! [Look around you Eren, at this long ass chapter.]
Chapter 8, Hugs
All their eyes were focused on me as I opened my mouth, ready to say something as Eren jumped in front of me. 'This is Anna, please don't hurt her she is a good person!' Jeez, what was he over protective, as if I couldn't fight. Levi pushed Eren aside and leaned in to face me, I had to suppress a giggle since I'm nearly 5'7 and he is only 5'3. He suddenly came even closer to my face, I realized he started standing on his tiptoes. This time a really failed to suppress my giggle and Levi looked furious. 'What is so damn funny about this you brat?' he asked me, looking straight into my eyes, or even soul. 'Nothing sir' I said, automatically making a salute. Now it seemed like it was Hanji's time to ask the questions, she pushed Levi aside and grabbed my shoulders. 'Where are you from? How did you get here? How are you feeling!?' The questions kept coming and coming but all I saw was what happening behind Hanji. Mikasa was holding Eren's hand and shooting death glares at me, it seemed like Eren didn't notice since he was too busy calming Armin who wouldn't let go of his best friend. After some more questions of Hanji we decided that we'd go inside and have dinner since it was already getting dark and I had started to get hungry.
I grabbed a plate and some food and looked around the hall, for some reason Eren wasn't here and all the tables were already occupied. Great, now I'd have to sit at someone's table and it would be extremely awkward. I looked around, hoping that I would see Eren walking in, but sadly enough there was no sign of him. I decided I would go and sit at the table with the least people, so the table with Annie, Reiner and Berthold it was. I sat down next to Berthold who was looking at Annie and Reiner who were arguing about a piece of bread. 'Reiner I swear to god this is my bread, you already ate yours!' Annie said, furiously trying to punch Reiner in the face. 'Annie I need this way more than you do, your small body can go without bread for one day!' Jeez, I thought, this is going to be the death of Reiner. It was now that Berthold finally noticed me sitting next to him. 'Oh.. uh.. hello I..' He reached his hand out for me to shake 'I am Berthold, you are Anna right?' I happily shook his hand and said 'Yes indeed! Nice to meet you Berthold!' Now Annie had finally managed to punch Reiner right in the face and he fell backward with his back on the stone floor, Annie quickly grabbed the bread and took a bite out of it and started chewing, she stopped chewing when she saw me. 'Oh uh, hi' She said, clumsy.. so she wasn't always as calm and collected as people expected from her huh. 'Annie' she said, nodding her head as some kind of greeting. 'Anna' I said, nodding back at her. Suddenly I felt a presence next to me, it was Reiner, he pushed a bit against me because the bench was actually too small for the 3 of us to sit on. 'Hi, I'm Reiner, sorry for this uncomfortable way of sitting but I don't want to sit next to that small demon anymore' He said, glaring at Annie who simple shrugged her shoulders.
I suddenly felt a small hand on my shoulder, I looked around and straight into big blue orbs, Krista. 'Hi! I thought I'd say hello! My name is Krista and this here is Ymir!' She said, smiling and pointing at the brunette behind her. 'Hi' I said, standing up in order to not look to clumsy, squished between Reiner and Berthold. Krista suddenly hugged me and as I looked over her shoulder I saw Ymir looking at me like I just stole something right in front of her eyes. Oops, this must be a bit of a sensitive thing for Ymir. I thought for a moment and quickly grabbed the sleeve of her T-Shirt and pulled her in for the group hug. I wiggled myself out of Krista's hug and looked at Ymir still hugging Krista. 'Ymir!' Krista said 'I didn't know you were into hugs! From now on I will hug you more often!' She said, turning around burying her face into Ymir. Ymir looked at me and thanked me with a smile.
'Hey Anna, do you like hugs too?' I heard as two arms wrapped around my lower abdomen. Eren? No, Eren was much more gentle than this. Who was this? I tried to wiggle myself out of the hug but the arms wouldn't move. 'What do we have here, a little worm?' The hugger asked me, head close to my ear. I managed to free one of my arms and punched the hugger straight into the face. He fell backward and I was able to jump away and turn around to look at him. 'JEAN.' I said/screamed. He struggled to get up and when he was finally standing on two feet he said 'Jeez, you're a good puncher but not a good hugger.' He put his hand on my shoulder and said 'But since you already know my name you must have some interest in me, am I right?' He leaned forward, closing his eyes and licking his lips. What was this? Was he leaning in for a kiss? I was done with this stupid behavior and was ready to punch him in the face when I figured it would be better to just throw him on the floor. So I did, using Annie's technique. Some gasps were heard as Jean landed on the floor. I looked around me, I had now grabbed the attention of everyone in the dining hall. I made eye contact with Annie who looked surprised, it was her technique after all.. Jean stood up and he seemed angry at me. No surprise, I just harassed him in front of everyone. It seemed like he was done with the sweet talk and was going in for a punch. I stood ready to defend myself as Jean's fist was suddenly grabbed by someone else's hand.
'Jean' I followed the hand and saw who it belonged to, Eren. 'Jean' he repeated 'Would you really just punch an innocent girl?' 'She isn't as innocent as she looks Jaeger' He responded, looking at me furiously. 'I was only trying to greet her and then she simply threw me on the floor' He said. 'Anna, is this true?' Eren asked, a bit of sarcasm in his voice because he didn't believe Jean's story. 'No, I uh, I did indeed throw him on the ground but that was because he was trying to.. uhh.. I think he was trying to kiss me.' I said, looking at the floor. 'YOU DID WHAT?' Eren screamed at Jean 'YOU TRIED TO KISS MY GIRLFRIEND!?' Wow, this really pissed him off huh. He leaned in to punch Jean in the face as I decided I had enough of this. 'Eren it's okay, he didn't do it and he won't do it again' Eren stopped his motion and looked at me 'But Anna..' 'No Eren, it's fine. Now would you come outside with me?' I asked, trying my best to make a sad face. 'Fine. He said, letting go of Jean and following me outside.
I sat down on a stone bench, sighing and putting my hand on my forehead. Eren sat down beside me, looking ashamed. 'Anna… I'm sorry I'm so overprotective.. I don't know how it works in your world but here it is not normal to-' I cut him off 'You're so sweet Eren' I said, kissing him on the cheek. He lit up, pulling me in for a hug. I never wanted this hug to stop, but it suddenly did as Eren let go of me and screamed into the distance. 'MIKASA! CAN YOU GET OVER HERE FOR A SECOND?' Ah, Mikasa, how did he see her in this darkness and why wasn't she by Eren's side? In maybe less than 10 seconds Mikasa stood by Eren's side, eyes directed at me. 'Mikasa, Anna got in a fight in the dining hall' He started his story, great, now she would think even less of me, picking a fight at my first day here, and I was right. 'What did you expect, she doesn't seem like a very stable person to me' Mikasa said, ignoring my presence. 'She is a stable person. But my question is how did this happen Mikasa? I thought I'd asked you to look out for Anna during dinner while I was talking with Levi, Hanji and Erwin.' He said. My eyes widened, so Eren did look out for me and didn't want me to be alone, but Mikasa simply bailed out of it. 'Well..' Mikasa began her story…

About Jean and Mikasa [Spoiles for the rest of the story][read if you're not satisfied with the way I portray these characters]
I know that right now I depicted both of them as the persons you wouldn't want to be around. But I'm planning some character development in which everything will be okay, but sometimes you need drama. Maybe they still won't be friendly next chapter but I won't leave them like this since they're still amazing characters.
