Late to post but i still did, thanks for all the kind comments you'v dropped, i really appreciate them and they make me happy to see that people are enjoying this story.
Enjoy.
explaining something that you have no idea how it happened was hard and frustrating. especially if you were trying to explain it to someone who was constantly interrupting to ask stupid questions.
Annie groaned loudly before banging her head on the table she was sitting at. the five adults sitting around her were still clueless and confused.
"just stop whining and tell us what happened, you brat" Levi was pissed her like everyone else, but he wasn't trying to hide it like them.
"i TOLD YOU i don't knOw HoW it happened! i was walking in the usual route to school then i was dragged into this alley and tased befire going unconscious" Annie waved her arms in frustration, her new grown arm now back in it's original place.
she huffed and sat back in her chair with her arms crossed. "after i woke up i was surrounded by these weird and creepy guys who kept talking nonsense. they wanted my help but i obviously refused"
"and then what?" Erwin spoke.
"and then their leader got mad and hit me, i didn't do anything yet but i waited till a good moment before using my ring to transform" Annie lowered her voice to a whisper as she reached the end. she was still feeling really guilty for killing those people.
"your ring?" Hanji whispered.
Annie froze, she never told them about the ring.
"y-yeah, my ring"
"show it to me" Hanji demanded.
Annie handed it over with a reluctant sigh.
"why have you never told us about this ring before, Annie?" Erwin asked. fuck she was in trouble.
"i uh, i honestly forgot about it for a while. and you guys took but gave it back to me before so i assumed you knew" she shrugged and replied honestly.
"well I'm sorry Annie but we can't let you have it anymore" Erwin spoke and Annie frowned sadly. it was her last memory from her father.
"you already did so many of the things we told you not to do, you transformed against our will, you killed people, and most importantly, you hid a weapon from us" the bald man sitting next to Erwin said.
Annie looked down, it's not like she wanted to do any of that. they're talking about it as if she enjoyed doing it.
"am i in trouble?" she whispered with a defeated sigh and slouched forward.
"what do you think?" Levi sarcastically replies.
Annie scowled at him from the corner of her eye and mockingly mouthed the words he had said. now wasn't the time for his smartass-ness. she was honestly think about how freaked out Mikasa was after seeing her like in school like that.
her phone didn't stop buzzing in her bag since she left the girl alone. she could still hear it faintly in the corner of the room where her bag was tossed.
"we gave you a chance, Annie. and you misused it" Pixis said dissappointed.
"I'm sorry" was all she could say.
"I'm afraid we have to take some necessary actions" he said.
"now now pixis, i don't think we should act before thinking this through" Zeke said from his seat at the end of the table. "the kid obviously didn't do it because she simply felt like doing it. we should cut her some slack"
Annie's ears perked in hope but she remained silent.
"Zeke if you aren't capable of comprehending the situation i suggest you shut up" Erwin said sharply.
"oh i fully understand the situation, i just don't think it's a good idea to punish Annie too harshly for it"
"people have died, Zeke! and it was not a few or even a quiet death either!" Erwin yelled slamming his fist on the table. "everyone in town had heard the transformation, many civilians reached the site before we did and have already broadcasted the news and there is nothing that we can do now to silence the public"
"you were lucky to not have been spotted leaving the area, Annie" Hanii said gently to ease the tension and the obvious discomfort in the girl's body language. "many saw you walking in the street though, we're lucky they couldn't see your face"
Annie clenched her jaw and stayed silent.
Erwin sighed and ran a hand down his face in attempt to calm down. he didn't want to have to punish Annie but her actions has to have consequences.
"so, what happens to her now?" Levi asked.
"hmm" pixis stroked his beard in thought and purposely took his sweet time to think just to irritate the adults around him. he also wanted to mess with Annie.
"i guess we could just ground her" he finally shrugged.
all pair of eyes snapped to him in shock. what the hell was this old geezer saying?! letting Anniw off the hook without any serious punishment.
"but sir-" Hanji gasped.
"no no, i don't want to hear anything" that immediately shut Hanji up, he turned to Annie.
"listen Annie, what you did is a serious crime that must be punished by law." Annie flinched. "but you are also a victim in the situation we won't need drastic measures, since you are a minor and can't really go to jail and since for some reason i actually like you, i won't be giving you a too harsh punishment. so you'll just be on house arrest for a the rest of the week."
Annie gaped at him. so did everyone else.
"i.. thank you, sir"
"but hear me out very carefully, Annie. i do not want to hear that you've used your powers without permission again. I'm letting it slide since you did it out of self defence. but if you do it again i will have no choice but to make you take responsibility"
"yes, sir" she gulped. he was not joking around.
"now run along, child. these two will take you home while me and the gentlemen will try to fix your mess" he joked and waved her off to Hanji and Levi.
the car ride back home was filled mostly with Hanji speaking too fast and too loud for Annie's liking. she had tuned her out after 5 minutes and laid her head on the window to pretend she was asleep in hopes that Hanji would notice and quiet down.
no such thing happened and shortly after she had turned to complain to Levi about Annie. which he had replied to with a harsh "shut the fuck up"
he appearently didn't want to listen to Hanji either.
the woman just kept mumbling grumpily to herself the rest of the way, that was until Annie's door slammed open and the forces of gravity sent Annie to the pavement.
she cursed and looked up angrily at the set of feet infront of her. why was Levi such an asshole?
"the fuck was that for?" she hissed.
"get up, just because pixis let you off the hook doesn't mean we will" he said with crossed arms.
she huffed, pulling herself up to her feet and dusting herself off before following the two inside.
"and what the hell do you want me to do?"
"you are going to clean this entire house tonight, you won't be going to bed until you're done" he growled.
"oh come on!" she whined. "it's already clean anyway"
"you'll clean it again, and you'll be giving extra to Hanji's bathroom" he smirked evilly.
Annie shuddered. Hanji laughed from behind her.
Annie laid on her bed soaking of sweat that night, breathing heavily and unable to move any muscle in her body. the room was also full of steam so it made it even worse to be there.
that asshole Levi really did make her clean the entire house and didn't allow her to stop unless it was for bathroom breaks or meals.
cleaning the entire house wasn't the reason she was so tired. in fact, it was the easy part as Levi was a clean freak and had kept it clean for the most part.
the real nightmare was cleaning anything that belonged to Hanji. Annie had almost lost her lunch twice cleaning her bathroom.
Annie waited for pounding in her muscles to numb before she pulled herself out of bed to take a shower and check on her phone. which had such a big amount of texts that Annie was suprised that one person could send in one day.
she read every single one before typing out a reply.
A: hey.
it didn't take more than 2 minutes before one was sent back.
M: where have you been? I've been trying to talk to you all say! why aren't you replying?! are you hurt?!
Annie felt bad at making Mikasa worry so much, but at the same time she waa slightly amused.
A: I'm fine, i need to talk to you though. meet me at the park?
M: ok, I'll be there in 10.
Annie threw her phone on the bed and went to get ready, she grabbed some shoes and a new hoodie since her old one could no longer be used.
Annie locked the door to her room and snuck out the window. she knew that Levi or Hanji wouldn't come to her room since she made a scene as she went up, but she had to be extra sure.
don't to get in even more trouble with those two. or Pixis and Erwin either.
the park was dark and quiet, just what Annie was hoping for.
Mikasa was already there when Annie got there, she could see her sitting on a bench with her arms crossed and leg shaking.
she looked upset. Annie took a deep breath before aproaching the girl.
"hey."
Mikasa spun around to look at Annie, she scanned her body for any injuries before launching herself at the girl and squeezing her in a tight hug.
"u-uh M-Mikasa, i.. i can't b-breath" Annie grunted, the only response she got was Mikasa's arms tightening around her neck and her face turned red.
Annie wasn't sure if that was because of the lack of air or because she was blushing because her face was pressed against Mikasa's chest. sometimes being short wasn't so bad.
unfortunately for Annie, her bliss didn't last long because the taller girl suddenly pulled back and slapped Annie across the face.
"what were you thinking, Annie?! what happened to you and why didn't you reply to me at all when i was calling and texting?!" Mikasa yelled.
Annie just stared at Mikasa with wide eyes, she placed a hand against her red cheek. she wasn't sure which shocked her more, the fact that Mikasa just slapped her out of nowhere or that Mikasa was holding back tears as she glared at Annie.
"i.. Mikasa, I'm sorry. but i can't tell you what happened" Annie frowned.
"why the hell not?" Mikasa demanded.
"because.. because i just can't, I'm not allowed to" she said softly.
Mikasa frowned and reached up to Annie's face once again, ignoring the flinch from the shorter girl as she grabbed her face.
"who did this to you? is someone hurting you? are they forcing you to keep quiet?" Mikasa asked in a soft tone. she didn't try to hide the obvious concern for Annie.
"i can't tell you who, but.. Someone isn't really.. hurting me. it was just an accident" Annie assured. "belive me, Mikasa. I'm fine"
"I'm worried about you" Mikasa mumbled. "and I'm scared that you'll be getting more hurt again"
"don't be, I'll be alright. i promise" Annie smiled softly.
Mikasa wrapped her arms around Annie's neck again, not intending to choke her this time. she rested her head on Annie's shoulder.
they stood there in the middle of the park, with Annie holding Mikasa until she felt better. feeling the fabric of her hoodie getting wet where Mikasa's face was. Annie frowned sadly.
"Mikasa.. are you crying?"
".. no" she whimpered and attempted to wipe her face with Annie's hoodie.
"i really am sorry, Mikasa. I'll make it up to you" Annie said running a hand through Mikasa's hair.
Mikasa huffed and turned her face to look at blond. "how?" she pouted.
"i don't know yet but I'll think of something" Annie shrugged with a smile.
"it better be good" Mikasa pulled back and lightly punched Annie in the shoulder.
"have faith in me, will you?" Annie teased rubbing her shoulder.
"we'll see. impress me and you might be getting more than just a hug" Mikasa laughed.
"oh i already did"
Mikasa blushed at the smug face. "shut up" she muttered.
"make me"
"jerk"
"coward"
"i am not a coward!"
"then why aren't you making me shut up?" Annie raised an eyebrow smugly.
Mikasa exhaled through her nose before grabbing Annie's face and pulling it to her own.
the kiss was brief and sweet. it seemed everytime the two kissed, they ran on diffrent emotions.
"is that good enough to shut you up?" Mikasa husked looking into Annie's eyes.
"y-yeah-"
Mikasa didn't give her time to finish her sentence before she pulled her back into a kiss.
"it's getting late" Annie pulled hack and panted.
"but i wanna kiss some more" Mikasa said.
"maybe later, come on I'll walk you home"
"okay fine" Mikasa rolled her eyes, grabbed Annie's hand and started walking to lead the way.
"hey don't be like that, you'll have plenty of times to kiss me some more" Annie smirked.
"i know"
Anie laughed and walked with Mikasa back to her house, she stood awkwardly on the porch to say bye but Mikasa did not intend to let her leave without a kiss goodbye.
so Annie walked home alone with her thoughts swimming around her head, she occasionally touched her lips and blushed.
sneaking back in the house was a success and Annie threw herself on the bed feeling much better than the last time she laid on it.
Your thoughts? Had a fluffy Mikannie moment at the end because i felt like writing some.
