A/N: Currently working on another request that will hopefully be out in two days at the very most. Have some EreAni while you wait.

He's not good at focusing. His attention tends to wander a lot and it's rare that he's able to keep to one topic at a time during a conversation. He finds, though, that he can stare at Annie for hours and never get tired of it. She has this habit of tugging on her bangs when she's thinking particularly hard, like now as she reads the text for her literature class. She's still when she reads. The only movement from her is the steady up and down of her chest from her breathing and the rapid movement of her eyes as they flicker across the page. Her slim figure is hunched over his desk, making her appear even smaller than she already is.

"Annie," Eren says suddenly, breaking the silence.

She looks up from her reading, a little bit miffed at the disturbance. "What?"

"You're really beautiful."

"Oh," she says, relaxed now. Most people don't think Annie could ever be anything but cold but Eren knows. He sees it right now as she looks at him, her gaze softening as she looks at him lying on his bed. "Well. You're cute too."

"Thanks." He loves it when she compliments him. The words always come out a little awkward as if she's not used to saying nice things to people. She always gets embarrassed afterward, her cheeks growing pink like they are right now. He's probably being mean right now but he can't help tease her a little more. He props himself up on an elbow and cocks his head. "That's not what I said though."

Her mouth opens slightly as if to argue but quickly shuts because she knows he's right. She quickly gets back to her reading and pretends she hadn't heard him at all but he knows she has from the red in her cheeks and the way she's tapping her finger on the desk, something she only does when she's flustered or nervous.

How cute.

A/N: *Uses bf as a model for Eren because my bf is also an overly passionate idiot*

Thanks for reviews as per usual! If you guys ever want to see more of anything (character, pairing, specific event), feel free to leave a request :)
