Annie...Time to wake up A subtle buzz in the far reaches of her mind caused Annie to stir from her blissful sleep. Annie gave a sleepy yawn as her blue eyes slowly adjusted to the blinding morning light. Annie went to stretch her arms but a tiny smile curled on her lips when she found another pair of arms blocking her. Eren was still fast asleep. His body pressed against her own.
''Eren. Time to wake up.'' Her voice was a soft and gentle whisper. At the sound of her voice Eren began to wake from his slumber.
''Annie...'' He yawned. Annie untangled herself from her lovers limbs, she turned onto her side and stared into Eren's jade green eyes. Eren stared back into her flawless azure orbs and felt his heart melt. He brushed a lock of her golden hair from her cheek, he marvelled at how soft her skin was, it was one of the many things about her that perplexed him.
As Eren's fingers danced across her skin Annie closed her eyes, allowing herself to be engulfed by his warmth. ''Last night was...fun'' She mumbled into the crook of Eren's neck.
Eren chuckled as a vibrant blush rose up his cheeks. ''Yeah...it was...nice.'' Despite his best attempts to hide it, Eren's voice was filled with embarrassment. ''We should...get up and do...something.'' Eren suggested.
''Why should we? What if I want to lay in bed with you all day?'' Annie questioned with a hint of frustration in her voice.
''That's why.'' Eren took his hand from Annie's cheek and pointed to one of the bunks near the front door. It took Annie's eyes to adjust to the blinding sunlight but she could make out a person lying under the bed covers. A person with ebony black hair. And a crimson red scarf. Her tired eyes widened at the sight of Mikasa sleeping only a few meters away. ''Yeah... So, I think we should get up...quietly.'' He whispered into her ear. Annie nodded and slowly slipped out of bed. Eren averted his eyes from his naked lover as she dressed herself.
''You know. I don't mind if you look, we have nothing to hide from each other.'' Annie deadpanned. Liar. A sharp hiss rattled in her mind causing Annie to wince slightly. Eren kept his eyes covered and nodded slowly. ''Okay you can look now.'' Annie sighed. Eren slowly removed his hand from his eyes.
''O-Okay now, turn around.'' Eren's murmured. Annie stared at her lover with a look of mild irritation. She sighed and sulked towards the door.
''I will be in the mess hall.'' With that Annie slammed the door shut as hard as she could, causing the entire building to shake. The previously sleeping figure burst out of her sleep. Her ashen eyes scanning the room for the source of the noise. Eventually focusing on the fuming boy in Annie's bed.
''Mik-Mikasa...this isn't what it looks like.'' Eren's eyes were wide in horror. In his mind he was throwing curses at Annie.
Half an hour later Eren stumbled into the dining hall, with a look of exhaustion and anger on his face. ''You look like shit.'' Annie's voice came from across the room, she was sitting towards the back of the hall on a table with Reiner. Eren gave her an icy glare with his red and tired eyes. When he reached the table he sat down opposite Annie, his eyes flickering from his food to the girl in front of him.
Reiner gave a low whistle. ''Wow... I don't know you did to him Annie, but he looks pissed.'' Annie shot him a murderous glare. Reiner raised his hands in defence and snorted ''This is the time that I would make an excuse to leave, but...See you later.'' Reiner then stood up from the table and gave Eren a cheesy smile.
''Remind me never to sleep with you, while in the same room as Mikasa...Or anyone for that matter.'' His voice was dry and bitter.
''Why? Was I that bad last night?'' There was a mild sense of offence behind the ice in her voice.
Eren looked up from his plate. ''No you weren't bad at all. But having the 'talk' from Mikasa for half an hour...that is pretty bad.'' He visibly shuddered at the memory of Mikasa describing the ins and outs of the female anatomy.
Annie was grateful that the mess hall was abandoned, because everyone would of heard her burst out into laughter. After her fits of laughter had died down, Annie faced Eren. ''What did she say?'' She made no attempt to hide the curiosity in her voice.
''You sure you want to know?'' He raised an eyebrow to her. Annie slowly nodded, preparing herself for the answer. ''She wanted to know if...You know what, I don't want to talk about this. Lets go do something.'' Before she could protest Eren was dragging her out to the training field.
Annie lazily ducked beneath a fist that was aimed at her shoulder. Her attacker tumbled forward after failing to connect with his target, seeing her chance Annie lunged towards Eren, she gripped his collar in one hand and his extended arm in the other. As he fell Annie used his strength to throw him over her shoulders. Eren landed on the hard floor in a cloud of dust, he gritted his teeth as a fog of pain descended on him. ''You're still doing it wrong.'' Her voice was brimming with boredom. Eren looked up at her from the floor, he was too captivated by her power to listen to her. ''You have to flow with your enemy when fighting. If they go to throw you, simply move with it and redirect it...Are you listening?'' Annie stomped her foot down on Eren's stomach.
He was immediately awoken from his trance by the crushing pain in his gut. Eren keeled over and coughed violently. ''Ye-Yeah something about flowing and moving.'' He huffed. After removing Annie's boot from his chest Eren stood up and assumed the position that Annie had spent many weeks drilling into him.
''You sure you want to go again?'' She smirked and raised her fists. Annie didn't give him a single second to reply. She rushed forward, Eren's face turned pale as he watched Annie turn into a blur of golden hair and crystal blue eyes. Eren flailed his fists around him in panic, hoping that his sporadic strikes would connect. They didn't. Annie gracefully weaved between his jabs. Only once she had finished toying with him did she make her move. Moving as if her body were made of water, Annie closed the distance between them in a heartbeat. Seeing the devilish smile on her face caused Eren to release a barely audible whimper, he swung a fist in a final and pathetic form of defence. Annie took advantage of one of his swings, she grabbed one of his wrists in an iron like grip, she pulled him forwards, as he fell, Annie drove one of her knees straight into his already bruised abdomen.
Eren barked as all the air in his body was forced out of him. After writing on the floor for several minutes Eren painfully picked himself up. ''I'm starting to think...'' He paused to cough. ''That you enjoy hurting me.'' He gave Annie a cheesy smile.
Annie giggled softly. He was the only one to make her feel like this. In a way, it frightened her. ''Well maybe if you listened to me, you would end up on your ass all the time.'' Her voice melted into the light breeze.
Eren went to make a sarcastic comment about her teaching methods, when he realised...She was right. ''Actually...That's a good point.'' The look of shock in Annie's crystal eyes made Eren laugh horsely. ''While you struggle to believe that I admitted you were right. I'm going to get some water.'' Eren ran off with a wide and childish smile on his face.
Finally! I bet you forgot I was here. Now Eren was gone the hiss in her mind slithered out of it's dark hole. ''What do you want?'' Annie mumbled as she sat down in the shade of a nearby tree. I don't want anything. The hiss transformed into a dull buzz as the voice settled in for a full conversation. ''If you don't want anything then go away.'' Her voice was icy and thick with anger. Why would I go away? You made me. With every word the voice was slowly becoming more human. Frighteningly human. ''If I made you...Why can't I make you go away?'' Annie retorted as she wiped the beads of sweat from her brow. I thought you were smarter than this Annie...You want me to stay. Anyone who had been listening to her might think she had gone mad, especially if they heard the dry and tasteless laugh that spilled out of her. And someone had heard her. You can't deal with grief very well, so your subconscious made me. The voice had returned to it's distinctive hiss. Annie sighed, she knew it was right she just didn't want to accept it. ''Can I ask you something?'' A loud booming noise echoed through her head as the snake laughed like a child. As if I could say no, you idiot. Annie looked around to make sure she wasn't being watched. ''Why do you shut up only when Eren is around?'' Annie could almost imagine the evil grin on the snakes imaginary face. It's fun to watch you act...Human, when we both know you're a monster. Annie banged her head against the tree she was resting on and the snake retreated.
''Who were you just talking to?'' The voice came from seemingly no where. Annie would have thought it was the snake again but this voice was human. Annie stood up to find the new voice. It didn't take her long. Mikasa emerged from her hiding spot from behind a storage shed.
''Doesn't matter. It's none of your business.'' Annie added as much frost to her tone as possible.
Mikasa's glare didn't falter at all. ''You are bad for him.'' The hole her words punched in Annie's chest was deeper than anticipated. ''All you do is fight him. I have never seen you show even the...Slightest bit of affection or care towards him. And I have been watching very closely.'' Annie felt a small bead of sweat trickle down one of her cheeks. Oh...This just got interesting.
''Go away.'' Mikasa didn't know Annie was talking to both of the irritating voices.
In the corner of the onyx haired girls eyes she could Eren jogging towards them with two canteens in his hands. Knowing her time was short Mikasa leaned in towards Annie, she only stopped her advance when Annie took a nervous step backwards. ''I promised I would protect him from those who would hurt him. That means people as well, not just Titans.'' If Mikasa had been talking to anyone else, they would have been forgiven for passing out but Annie was not anyone else. Annie instead hardened her icy glare.
''Hey! What's going on here?'' Eren was more than just slightly concerned by the sight of Annie and Mikasa giving each other murderous glares.
Deciding that having a stare down with Mikasa was a waste of time and a bad idea, Annie broke her glare and looked over at Eren. ''Nothing.'' She swiftly grabbed Eren's collar and dragged him away.
Once they were out of sight Mikasa let out an exasperated sigh. ''You pissed off as well?'' A friendly voice came from behind her, as she turned to see who had snuck up on her. Mikasa turned to see that she was staring at the shoulders of the voice. She craned her head up at Bertolt.
''What are you talking about?'' Mikasa and Bertolt shared a hatred for Eren and Annie's relationship, just for different reasons.
''I can tell, just by looking at your face that Annie pissed you off.'' Bertolt had the strange ability to read people just looking at them.
''I just feel that...She is going to hurt him. He and Annie don't know what they are doing. Eren wants to join the Survey corps and Annie is going off to the Military police.'' She sighed.
''For now...All we can do is trust them.'' The hesitation in his voice was all too obvious.
''We both know you don't believe that.'' There was a trace of dry humor in her voice. They left their conversation at that, both of them knowing that they would talk again.
''Annie! You can stop now.'' Eren was kicking the dirt as Annie pulled him behind the mess hall. Annie released his shirt and sat down with her head against the wall.
''I don't think your sister likes me.'' Even Eren was surprised by the level of sarcasm in her voice.
''Whatever makes you think that?'' Eren tried to imitate Annie's tone.
She shot him a cold stare. ''What are we going to do about her?''
''Nothing.'' He quickly replied. ''It doesn't matter if she approves or not.'' He added.
''Once again, I find myself astonished by your maturity.'' She gave him a small smile. Which he returned. Eren sat down next to her and intertwined his fingers with hers. Here we go again Annie's winced at the sudden attack by the snake.
''Hey, what's up?'' Eren gave her hand a reassuring squeeze.
''It's... nothing but Eren...Could you take my mind off it...Please.'' Her words were so soft that she thought Eren might not hear them. But he did. The concern in his eyes slowly ebbed away, replaced by a gentle and warm look that made Annie's lips curl into one of her very rare and, to Eren, precious smiles. Without asking anymore questions, Eren brought Annie's hand to his lips. He placed a kiss that was even softer than her words on her pale skin. Once he took his lips away from her hand he began to move them towards her neck, where pure bliss awaited Annie. She tilted her head up, slightly exposing as much of her skin as she could. His lips brushed against her collarbone and she hummed gently in response, urging him to go on. In reply Eren frisked his hot lips over the bottom of her neck. Annie instinctively grabbed a fistful of Eren's chocolate hair and tugged it with each of his heavenly kisses. Annie tried her best to remain composed during the embrace but as soon as he made contact with the 'spot' on her neck she knew that was going to be impossible. Low moans of pleasure escaped Annie's quivering lips as Eren's own lips worked around her neck and jawline. Then he tried something new. Eren let his teeth gently graze along her pulse point. The effect was immediate, Annie's perfect icy eyes widened as electricity flooded every vein in her body. Eren withdrew from his lover and looked up at her, Annie was visibly shaking as pleasure in it's purest form danced through her entire being. ''Do th-that again.'' She whispered through short, shaking breathes. With a wide smile on his face Eren happily obliged. Annie closed her eyes and waited for the electrifying sensation. She didn't have to wait long. Eren pressed his lips against her shoulder and laid a trail of warm kisses along her shoulder and neck, when he reached her pulse point Eren pressed his teeth against her skin and savored the long and exaggerated moan that escaped her shaking lips. It still wasn't enough to satisfy her though. Annie pulled away from Eren and pushed him against the wall of the hall.
''Wha-what are you...doing?'' Annie's sudden movement had startled him.
''Less talk.'' Her hands were trembling slightly at the loss of Eren's lips. Annie sat on Eren's lap and pressed herself against him, she straddled his hips with her legs to make sure he couldn't shake her off. Not that he would want to. Annie leaned her head down to Erens, they looked into eachothers eyes They could stay like that forever, azure blue gazing into jade green, they could spend a hundred years staring into each others eyes. They just didn't want to at this particular moment. It was Annie who sealed their lips first, Annie's lips brushed against Eren's lips and as she pulled away Eren followed her. Once again she had managed to captivate him with such little effort. However as soon as Eren's teeth ghosted across her hot skin Annie knew she too was being entranced by her lover. Unlike last time, Eren was being slightly more ambitious with his kisses. Annie ran her fingers through his hair, pushing his lips closer to her skin. Every time she felt Eren nibble gently on her neck felt euphoric. His teeth were sending sparks are dizzying pleasure through her body, from her neck down her chest and through her arms to her fingertips. ''Eren...'' Her voice was weakened from the warmth that was rapidly spreading around her body. At the sound of her voice Eren bit into her once more before slowly pulling away, as he did Annie gasped at the cold air that filled the void Eren's lips had left.
''Feel better now?'' Unlike Annie, Eren's words were unshaken. He moved one of his hands to cup one of her cheeks. She relished his touch and held his hand there.
''A little bit, the tooth thing was a...very good idea.'' Her lips curled into a small smile. ''However.'' Annie leaned into Eren's ear. ''You still have got a little room for improvement.'' Her voice had regained its strength.
Eren chuckled softly. ''You know what they say. Practice makes perfe-'' The rest of his sentence died in his chest as Annie drove her fist into his chest.
''Don't interrupt me. I was going to add that, maybe. Tonight we sleep in your bed.'' She purred as Eren gasped for breath ''I will let you think about that, while I go get something to eat.'' Annie didn't bother waiting for a reply, she could see the answer in the deep red blush that was rising in his cheeks. Annie slowly left the shadows that hide them and gave Eren a sly smile before leaving to make some food. You are an awful liar Annie. Without Eren to ward it off, the snake had slithered out the dark recesses of her mind. ''Not now.'' Annie's voice had changed. The ice had been replaced by thick and burning anger.
''Were you followed?'' Reiner was standing on the lips of the forest. Bertolt was standing beside him, his normally grey eyes that were always so full of life were gone. Instead they were a dark and emotionless ashen grey.
''I'm not a moron. Of course not.'' The anger in her voice subsided.
''That is a matter of opinion.'' Bertolt muttered to himself.
Annie was about to snap at Bertolt for muttering when Reiner cut her off. ''Come on, we have to talk.'' Without another word the trio left into the woods. Annie noticed how Reiner's expression had changed from stoic and proud to something else. After about ten minutes of hiking through the foliage Reiner came to a stop. ''You know why we are here.'' He gave Annie a venomous glare. ''Our next job is to destroy Wall Rose.'' Bertolt visibly finched at the way his friend spat the words.
''When?'' Annie didn't want to be here, she wanted to far away from this place. She wanted to be somewhere where she didn't have to kill and destroy.
''The day after the graduation ceremony.'' Annie got what she wanted, she turned on her heels and left the clearing. ''Annie...'' Reiner's voice followed her. ''Remember what we are.''
I hate to agree with that ox but...I do. The buzz in her head settled down. ''What am I then?'' Annie felt her voice crack slightly.
That is easy...you're a monster.
