Chapter 4 – Clueless Confessions

Eren walked back to his room extremely gloomily and lethargic. He had just spent the last four hours explaining to Mina what was going on between him and Annie and answering all the questions she demanded.

How long have you guys been dating?

Was it was love at first sight?

How many kids are you going to have?

Mina replying to the answers with a lot of screaming and hugging because she was quote, "happy for them." Eren couldn't take any more of it; his head was going to explode. So, he had made an excuse that he was meeting up with Armin for a study session and he was already running late. However the excuse didn't bode well with Annie because he couldn't help but notice the death glare that she gave him as he exited the room. He was going to pay for that later.

Eren finally reached his room and opened the door to a desolate scene. The bedroom was empty and the room was spotless, they had an inspection that morning and it had to meet Shadis' expectation. His bed was made and it looked like heaven on earth to him right now because he was exhausted. He had almost fallen asleep hiding under Annie's bed; I guess sex tires you out, Eren thought chuckling to himself. He removed his shoes and belt again, before climbing under the sheets and resting his head on his soft luscious pillow. He began to drift off into nothingness, when out of nowhere; there was a knock on the door.

Eren groaned at the door, a sign to the person to go away, but the knocking persisted. Eren covered his ears with the pillow smothered his face deep into it, trying to drain out the knocking until the person left. Finally the person behind the door spoke, "Eren it's me, open the door, I need to talk to you."

The voice was quiet and polite. A voice that Eren knew so well, one that belonged to his blonde childhood friend, the boy that shared his hopes and dreams to leave the walls and explore the outside world. However, Eren wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone right now, even his closest friend.

"Armin I'm trying to sleep!" Eren groaned.

"Eren please it's important," Armin pleaded knocking again to emphasize his urge to get inside.

Eren just responded with another groan and didn't move from his laying position. There was silence for several seconds and Eren let out a sigh of relief thinking the boy had left. Until he heard the sound of his door being unlocked and the door slowly opening. Eren flipped over, removing his head from his pillow and giving Armin a confused look.

"How the hell did you unlock the door?" He said with more curiosity than anger.

"I discovered a few days ago that the room keys are universal. They open all bedrooms in the barracks." Eren gave him a confused look, "I guess the survey corps don't care about theft and stuff, not like there is anything to steal anyways. Plus, it only works on all the boys bedrooms." Eren gave Armin a shocked look now. Armin didn't realize why he was so shocked and stared back at him, "what?" He stated.

"Why do you know that it doesn't work on the girls rooms," Eren asked with a huge grin on his face.

Armin nearly fell over when he realized what Eren meant, "I-I t-tried it o-on Mikasa's door… last time we h-hung out," Armin stuttered, sweat dripping down his forehead from embarrassment at Eren's accusation.

"Sheesh Armin, calm down. I'm only teasing. I know you're smart enough to figure these things out." Armin let out a sigh of relief at Eren's words and went to sit down on the bed across from him, one that belonged to Eren's roommate Connie, who never seemed to be in their room. "He's probably off being reckless and causing havoc with Sasha somewhere," Eren always told him.

"So, now that you disturbed my nap, what do you so desperately need to talk to me about," Eren asked Armin politely but still with a hint of mocking in his voice. He was exhausted and just wanted to sleep, but he was always glad to help out his childhood friend.

"Well…" Armin started but trailed off looking to the floor in embarrassment, something that didn't go unnoticed by Eren.

"Armin what's up? You know you can tell me anything dude." Eren's words of encouragement gave Armin a spark of confidence and he lifted his eyes back to Eren's. Eren was smiling at him, but he could see the curiosity and worry in his eyes, pressing him to tell him about his problems.

Armin stood up and went to sit next to Eren, who patted him on the shoulder and rested his arm across his shoulders. "Come on dude, spit it out." He told him.

"A-Alright. You seem to be getting really close to Annie, right," it was a statement more than a question. Eren's stomach dropped, oh shit. He knows. Armin knows about our secret relationship. First Mina and now him, sooner or later everyone's going to know and then we aren't going to be able to see each other at all. With that thought Eren frowned and dropped his gaze to the floor.

Armin noticed this, "Eren, you alright?" he asked.

Eren's gaze flew up from the floor and rested on Armin again, "Uh, yeah, I'm good. Uh, yea me and Annie are pretty close you could say, I guess," he mumbled.

"Yeah, I've seen her sort of open up to you and I was wondering…" Armin trailed off again but kept his stare on Eren's eyes.

Here it comes, Eren thought. He's going to ask me if Annie and I are dating and then probably tell Mikasa and then Jean and then we are screwed.

"I was w-wondering how you guys got so close. Like how did you break her barriers, b-because I kind of, sort of, want to, d-do the same."

Eren was confused now, he thought Armin was going to ask if he and Annie were dating but now he is asking how they became friends, "What are you trying to say Armin?" Eren asked trying to clear up his confusion.

Armin replied with a sigh, he knew he was just going to have to be blunt and tell Eren exactly what he meant. Eren was too stubborn and oblivious to see what he was trying to tell him.

"I think that I have feelings for Annie," he told Eren quickly hoping that maybe he didn't hear it. Oh, but he definitely didn't miss it. Eren's eyes widened and his mouth became agape. But what Armin didn't know was Eren wasn't surprised because of his sudden confession, but for other reasons.

Oh Sina! What the fuck am I supposed to do now. My best friend just confessed his feeling for my girlfriend, but he doesn't even know she's my girlfriend. This is a huge fucking mess! What am I supposed to do? Oh Sina! Oh Sina!

Armin noticed that Eren was acting strange; his eyes were shaking back and forth as he stared at the bed in front of him and he was mumbling incomprehensive words to himself. "Eren, you okay?" But there was no response. "Eren?" Armin asked again but Eren was lost in his own thoughts. "Eren!" Armin shook Eren by the shoulders; finally bring him out of his trance.

"Ah!" Eren yelled when Armin shook him and quickly looked around remembering where he was.

Armin grabbed his shoulders and held him in place staring into his eyes, "Eren what's going on?"

It was Eren's turn to sigh now, he knew he had to tell Armin or else it might cause further problems. Even if it meant jeopardizing his relationship with Annie, Armin was his best friend and he deserved to know about his relationship with the girl he apparently had feeling for.

"Look Armin, there's something I need to tell you."

"Uh sure, what is it?" Armin looked extremely confused as he awaited an answer.

"Well… you see me and Annie-" Eren was suddenly interrupted by Mikasa barging through the door and into the bedroom. Both boys looked in her direction giving her a questioning look.

Mikasa stood in the doorway with a red bow in her obsidian hair. Her hair seemed straighter than usual and the red bow really brought out the dark shade of her hair, as well as accentuating her maroon scarf. Another thing that Eren noticed was that she was wearing make-up. Mikasa never wore make-up, well not many girls in the corps did, but Mikasa never wore make-up even back home in Shiganshina. He had only ever seen her wearing it once, when his mom had forced it upon her face for a family friend's wedding. Eren had told her that she didn't need the make-up back then, she was always beautiful, ever since the first day he ever saw her, the day he saved her life. He always knew she was beautiful, but they had built a platonic relationship towards each other over the years and although Mikasa was pretty, he never felt anything special towards her. However today was different. As Mikasa stood in his doorway, bearing make-up that actually made her look more beautiful. It was different than that day many years ago, back then Eren had thought the make-up was pointless on her face, but today it brought out her beauty even more. She looked stunning and it gave Eren butterflies in his stomach.

This isn't right, Eren thought. I have never gotten this feeling from Mikasa before. She has always been beautiful, but today she is stunning, sexy… perfect. Eren shook his head, I'm in love with Annie, I can't be thinking about Mikasa this way, it's wrong.

As Eren contemplated these feelings, Mikasa had now situated herself right in front of him, "Eren where have you been all day?" she questioned.

Eren was broken out of his trance again, "W-What are you talking about? You were with the girls all day."

"Oh…" Mikasa now realized the stupidity of her question. She had been blinded by her desire to find Eren and see him for the first time today that she had asked him an idiotic question. "Yeah, sorry I forgot."

Eren gave Mikasa a look of confusion, what's wrong with her, he thought. This wasn't like Mikasa to be flustered about something and lose her composure. "What's wrong Mikasa? Something is up."

"N-Nothing is wrong Eren, I-I just missed you. We haven't seen each other all day," she whispered.

"Mikasa I'm not your kid brother, you don't have to be around me every second of the day!" Eren yelled at her frustrated with her obsession with being around him 24/7.

With that comment Armin had had enough. He loved his two childhood friends, but he could only take so much of their awkward, some might say sexual tension. He knew about Mikasa's feelings for Eren for a long time and how Eren was too stupid and oblivious to notice any of this. He also knew that secretly Eren felt the same way back but would never admit it.

"Alright Eren," Armin interrupted the uncomfortable silence between the two. "I think I'm going to head out now, we can finish this talk later. I'll let you two talk."

"Oh Armin, I didn't even see you there, sorry," Mikasa told him with an apologetic look in her eyes. Armin however didn't take offence from this, he knew Mikasa cared more about Eren then him and that she didn't ignore him on purpose. The three of them were the closest of friends, but she and Eren shared a closer bond, one that not many people in the world share.

"It's okay Mikasa, you two talk this out. I'll see you both later," and with that Armin left the room closing the door behind him softly, but not before seeing Eren give him an apologetic smile.

Several seconds after Armin had left; Mikasa and Eren stared at each other in silence, until Mikasa began to tear the bow in hair off.

"What are you doing?" Eren said loudly startling Mikasa and stopping her from tearing at the accessory.

"I'm taking this stupid crap off, I look ridiculous," she laughed at herself looking into the mirror across the room.

"No you don't!" Eren yelled. "You look beautiful…" He mumbled to himself, but Mikasa heard it.

Her heart began to race; Eren had just called her beautiful. She thought she looked ridiculous, but all the girls insisted she keep on the bow and make-up and Eren would for sure come crawling, they joked. The girls loved to tease her about her feelings for Eren; they loved seeing the blush on her face every time they brought up his name. They insisted she keep it on and that she looked stunning, she listened just to satisfy them, but didn't agree. Up until now, when Eren had said she looked beautiful, he had never told her that before. Did he really mean it? Or was he just being nice? A bunch of questions appeared in her mind, until she remembered a memory from years ago.

"What about that time you told me that make-up was stupid and pointless?" Mikasa asked him not able to meet his emerald orbs.

Eren rubbed the nape of neck embarrassingly, "ha," he chuckled. "You still remember that huh," he said nervously.

Mikasa just replied with a nod of her head.

"Well, it's different this time. I don't know how to explain it, but you look… really… pretty," he told her not being able to meet her gaze either.

"Eren…" Mikasa said shyly. He didn't notice the deep blush that had appeared on her face from his comments. Mikasa was flustered and her knees felt weak, she couldn't take much more of this.

Their conversation went on for an hour or so, Mikasa continuously trying to convince Eren of how ridiculous she looked, but Eren kept refusing to agree with her and complimenting her, causing her to blush some more. The cycle repeated over and over again, until eventually Mikasa had to wash up before bed. They said their goodbyes and Eren finally got some peace and quiet. He let his body fall back against his bed and his head hit his pillow. Eren thought he was exhausted before but now he was dead. He placed his arm in front of his eyes and began to finally drift into sleep, darkness enveloped his mind and he finally passed out.

A few hours passed, but Eren had no idea how long he had been asleep. Connie had yet to show up to their room probably spending the night in the prison cell again. Connie spent a lot of time down there for all the stupid reckless shit him and Sasha got into. Connie always did the gentlemanly thing and took the blame, resulting in him spending many nights sleeping in the prison cell downstairs. Eren didn't mind though, he got a room to himself and peace and quiet for a majority of the time. Tonight he was sleeping well not a single sound to bother him.

That was until someone barged into his room, the door flying open, but oddly closing very slowly. The person flicked on the light switch, blinding Eren through his closed eyelids.

"Connie!" Eren yelled. "What the fuck dude! I'm sleeping over here!"

Before Eren knew it someone had picked him up by the throat and was hoisting him in the air. Eren shocked by the sudden motion opened his eyes to see his five foot tall blonde girlfriend hoisting him in the air, her hands constricting his esophagus. Eren tried to tear her hands from his throat, but her grip was too strong. How is someone nearly half my height and weight holding me up in the air by my throat? Eren thought to himself struggling to remove her grip. And why the fuck is she doing it?! Eren became dizzy and his eyelids started to close themselves. He couldn't breathe and he was starting to lose consciousness. Annie noticed this and after a couple more seconds of suffering, she threw Eren against the wall.

Eren's head snapped back and connected with the wall hard. Now he was definitely out of it, he was dizzy and suddenly his body went limp. His eyes closed and darkness enveloped his mind again, except this time not due to sleep. Annie looked at Eren's limp body with pride and a smirk spread across her face. That was until she realized that Eren wasn't moving, he hadn't moved in the last few seconds. She waited for him to get up and freak out at her, but it never came. Now she stared at him with disbelief and horror on her face. Her eyes widened as she realized what she had just done.

"E-Eren? E-Eren wake up! Eren answer me!" she started yelling at his unconscious body. She ran over to him and kneeled down next to him. She took his head into her chest and stroked his brown hair softly. "Eren, I'm sorry. Please wake up. Eren… please," tears began to fall from Annie's eyes as there was no response from the boy again. A few minutes passed of Annie's sobs and tears that cascaded down her cheeks and onto Eren's forehead, until Eren started to come around.

Eren felt a sharp pain flow through his head, shit, my head fucking hurts. What happened? Eren slowly opened his eyes and looked up to see a mane of blonde hair enveloping his vision. He then remembered what had happened and braced himself for impact. He screamed and cowered behind his arms. Annie was startled out of her sobs by Eren's scream and threw him off her chest and onto the ground. When she realized that it was Eren screaming and saw him cowering under his arms, she jumped onto him and pulled him into a tight hug.

"Eren… I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you that bad," Annie cried into his shoulder.

Eren was no longer scared nor angry anymore. He was confused and shocked, in all of the time he had been around Annie, he had never seen her cry once. Not only was she crying, she was sobbing and Eren reached up to feel the wetness on his forehead, discovering that she had cried all over him while he was out cold.

"It's okay Annie, I'm alright... Just a little… dizzy, don't worry," Eren comforted her, stroking her hair softly and rubbing gentle circles on her back. He wanted to know why she went hulk on him and nearly killed him, but she realized now was not a good time to ask, no matter how curious he was.

After several minutes of silent comforting, Annie pulled back from their hug. She stared into Eren's eyes with regret and shame. Her eyes were blood shot red from all the crying, but they had finally seemed to dry up. They stared at each other for what felt like an hour, ocean blue eyes meeting forest green orbs.

Eren pulled Annie into another hug, "it's okay Annie, I forgive you. But can I just ask why you attacked me in my sleep?"

At that moment Annie remembered her initial purpose of storming his room. It was because Eren had left her alone with Mina and he had to pay. Annie pulled back from the hug again and pulled her arms out from around his neck. She pulled her right hand back and connected it with Eren's cheek.

"Ow! Annie what the fuck! Stop it!" Eren yelled pushing her to the floor, grasping his cheek.

"That's for leaving me alone with Mina!" Annie yelled at him. She then jumped onto him again, straddling his hips and connected a punch to his gut, causing Eren to release a cough and grasp his gut.

"That's for sneezing under the bed." She then jabbed her knee into his thigh eliciting a scream from his mouth, "And that's for scaring me."

Annie then pulled Eren into another hug, but this time she connected her lips with his. She worked at his mouth aggressively, but Eren just lied there motionless. What the hell is even going on? He thought to himself. After several seconds Eren decided to just play along with it and began to kiss her back. Only to have Annie pull back from the kiss and pull him into another hug.

"You really scared me," she said into his shoulder.

"You've got a strange way of showing your affection, sweetheart," Eren told her. Annie pulled back again and glared at him. "What you don't like the new nickname?" She just continued to glare at him, "Guess not, was worth a shot," he smiled at her.

Annie couldn't hide the small smile that broke on her lips. She pressed her palms into Eren's chest and leaned into him, provoking a grunt of displeasure from him. She ghosted her lips over his ear and whispered, "If you ever want to see your sweetheart again, you're going to have to make it up to me,"

"W-What did you have in mind?" He replied, nervous all of a sudden.

"You better make me feel as good as I made you feel earlier… sweetheart," she whispered seductively into his ear. "Oh and one more thing. You forgot your belt," Annie pulled out a folded up belt from her back pocket and began whipping Eren with it.

"Ah! Annie! Fuck! Stop it!"

Armin Arlert lay in bed; he glanced over at the clock on his bedside table, seeing it was one o'clock in the morning.

Everyone else in the barracks must be asleep by now, everyone except for me of course. I just can't stop thinking about Annie. Or what Eren wanted to tell me before we were interrupted. I love Mikasa and all but sometimes she is so overprotective of Eren. I don't understand why she couldn't see that Eren and I were having a nice talk before she showed up. She could've just waited a few more seconds and I wouldn't have cared.

Armin let out a long sigh of disappointment.

Eren seemed really worried when I told him about my feelings for Annie… I'm sure he's just worried that I'll end up getting hurt, but he wanted to tell me something.

He rolled around in the bed a few times, eventually shifting back to his original position.

I can't take it! The anticipation is killing me, what did he want to tell me! I need to know! I need Eren's advice right now. I need him to help me with Annie. I need her. Eren I need you now.

He sat up in the bed now, sweating like a pig. His pajamas and his bangs sticking to his body.

He's probably asleep though- No Armin! You've got to do this right now! It's not like I'm going to sleep at all until I know…. Alright, let's do it. Man up Armin! Let's do this!

With that Armin slowly pulled himself out of bed. He tiptoed his way to the door in order to not wake Jean, who was passed out snoring, drooling all over his pillow, most likely dreaming about Mikasa that perverted bastard. He opened the door gently, closing it ever so precariously in order to minimize the noise of the handle latching to the lock. He started sneaking his way down the hallway towards Eren's door.

He had wanted to be roommates with Eren, but the bunk mates were selected by random. Luckily though, Eren's room was only a couple doors down, so he didn't have to travel that far and make much of a commotion. He approached the door slowly and reached to knock on the wood. He then realized that knocking might wake up the others in the room and next door. He leaned on the door and released a long sigh. Alright Armin you can do this, you can do this. Armin reached into his pocket to pull out his room key, remembering how he had gotten into Eren's room earlier that day. Armin grabbed the doorknob and went to insert the key into the lock, when he realized the door was already unlocked. Eren you forgetful idiot. Armin turned the knob slowly, the door creaking open only by a sliver. He was about to peak in when he heard something. A faint moan followed by a deep groan. Armin just laughed thinking Connie or Eren were probably snoring. He went to open the door more when he heard her voice.

The one girl he had been watching closely for the past month, the soft yet stoic voice that could only belong to her. That's… That's Annie. What is she doing in Eren's room? Then he heard something that made his stomach drop to the floor.

"Harder Eren… Please."

At that moment Armin knew what was happening, he hated to admit it, but he knew what was going on behind that door. Everything in his mind told him to turn around and go back to his room. It quite literally screamed at him to get out of there as fast as possible. But something, something in Armin's heart told him to stay. He was frozen in place, contemplating whether to throw the door open and expose his worthless, no good traitor of a best friend or run away like a coward and hide like he normally did. Keep it inside and never scowl Eren for betraying his friendship and trust. How could he do this to me? Especially after I confessed my love for Annie. On the same day!

It was at that moment that Armin heard something that pushed him over his limit.

"Annie!"

It was Eren's voice. It was Eren's voice confirming any bit of doubt in his head. There was no doubt about it, his best friend and the girl he loved, getting it on. He couldn't take it anymore. He threw the door open with a slam. But his anger quickly dissipated into embarrassment and disbelief. One second he was ready to kill Eren, the next he could barely squeak out a word as he watched Annie frantically dismount Eren and cover them both with the blanket.

This scene is a cut and paste from the first chapter just to refresh everyone's memory because that was quite a while ago. I was just going to skip to Armin charging Eren but I wanted people to remember how Armin had attacked him

Armin just stands in the doorway, eyes wide with horror and most prominently sorrow. He is able to squeak out, "What….? Eren…? Annie…?"

Annie's cheeks begin to turn beet red as she turns away to face the wall, removing her hands from Eren's waist. Eren still sits on the bed with a look of shock on his face. Armin what the fuck is wrong with you? Don't you know how to knock? Why am I silent right now?

Eren opens his mouth to speak, but before he can, Armin speaks first.

"What the fuck is this?" Armin questions. It comes out harsh and Eren's eyes open even wider, which he didn't think was even possible. Armin never swears and this even causes Annie to turn away from the wall and return her attention to Armin. His eyes are wide; his stance wide, his fists are clenched at his sides, and he is shaking madly as if his head is ready to explode any second. Almost telepathically Eren and Annie share a thought, Armin has never been this angry in his life. This is not going to end well.

Annie feels terrible about herself and slips down under the blankets as if she has melted away. She can't stand to look Armin in the eyes anymore, she doesn't understand why he's so upset but she can't take the embarrassment any longer. She finally started opening herself up to people recently and this is her worst nightmare. She's naked and exposed in front of one of her fellow trainees and if that's not bad enough it's the best friend of the boy she's dating and currently sharing this state of bareness with.

Eren has other thoughts on his mind. Why is Armin so angry? I understand his state of shock but why is he upset, if anything I should be pissed off. He just fucking cock blocked my ass. After all these months of putting my moves on Annie and I finally got her in my bed, (A faint smirk appearing on his face momentarily) all to be ruined by Armin not having common courtesy.

But what Eren didn't realize while he was lost in his thoughts was Armin had hit his boiling point. Eren was awoken from his thoughts by a sudden creak of the floorboards. He looked up towards Armin only to see him charging right towards him… SHIT!

"I'm going to fucking kill you Eren Yeager!" He yells.

Well here it goes, Eren thought as Armin charged his way towards him. I knew this was going to bite me in the ass the second Mikasa interrupted me. I should've told him! But I was exhausted, I needed to sleep and then Annie came in and started fucking around, not that I'm complaining.

Swoop! Eren dodged an awkward punch thrown by Armin.

What the fuck am I supposed to do! I can't fight Armin, this is my fault anyways. I should've told him.

Armin was throwing punches like a rabid dog. He was running around in circles chasing Eren throwing wild, blind punches like a mad man. He looked like an idiot to anyone watching, but he didn't seem to care. Eren had never seen Armin this mad before, in his life.

"You fucking traitor!" Armin growled.

Eren had also never heard Armin swear so much in his life. Not since his grandfather died and he found him in his room, destroying things and swearing like an animal.

"You played me!" Armin yelled.

"Armin, calm the fuck down!" Eren screamed.

"Eren, what is he talking about?" Annie asked cowering in his bed.

"Armin, I tried to tell you! Calm the fuck down!" Eren yelled back, ignoring Annie's question.

"You betrayed me! You liar, don't bullshit me!" Armin screamed; spit spewing out of his mouth.

This went on for several minutes, before Eren couldn't take anymore. He was tired from dodging Armin's punches and running around the room. He needed to think of something soon because Armin didn't look like he was slowing down. Annie had gotten annoyed by their antics and lied back down on the bed. Eren suddenly thought of a good idea. He would let Armin believe that he knocked him out; he knew Armin wasn't that strong and his punch would barely hurt him. So he let Armin connect with one of his wild punches, striking him in the jaw and like Eren had guessed, it barely affected him. He fell to the ground with a thump, grasping his jaw in fake agony.

Eren wasn't the greatest strategist and this proved through when Armin started kicking him on the ground. Armin was a menace, connecting with punches, kicks, slaps and anything else he could hit Eren with. When Annie heard the thump of someone going down, she thought that Eren had finally gotten frustrated and pinned Armin. What took him so long to do it was the question that Annie wondered. However, when she sat up and saw Eren on the ground, seemingly unconscious, she actually laughed to herself. What an idiot. But then she saw how Armin was bombarding him with punch after kick after punch, with no sign of slowing. Something in her chest sparked and her eyes turned into two orbs of lava. Nobody treats Eren like that, except for me!

She stood up and rushed her way over to the two boys, she had taken the time to put her shirt and shorts back on while the two boys were fucking around. She was just thankful Eren had time to pull up his boxers from his ankles before Armin attacked him. She ran over and grabbed Armin by the back of his shoulders, turning him to face her. She saw the rage and betrayal in his eyes and for a second, Annie felt guilt fill her stomach for some reason. That didn't last long before she threw Armin against the bedframe, knocking him unconscious in the process.

She instantly felt that twinge of guilt return to her body. She had just done the same thing to Armin that she did to Eren earlier, except it was probably going to take more than her crying to get Armin to forgive her. Fuck me, I really need to start thinking before I act, she thought.

Oh shit, what have I done? Was Eren's thinking. He had just faked being knocked out, believable enough to make Annie fall for it, quickly giving himself props for the Oscar performance before going back to freaking out. Annie had knocked Armin out, what the fuck was I thinking. That was stupidest plan in the world. Fuck, I've got to tell her. Wait! No, I could just continue pretending I'm unconscious. No one will ever know. Sorry Armin but you caused this. He would deal with it later, when he "woke up" from unconsciousness.

Eren's second plan of the night fell apart even quicker than his first, when someone came running through their wide open doorway. Of course it was none other than the obsidian eyed, top of the class, his overprotective adoptive sister, Mikasa Ackerman.

"Oh fuck…"

A/N:

And that my friends, is how we got in this predicament, a four chapter long flashback… oops. The story is now in present tense, I'm sorry if I screwed up in the past chapters with the tense but it was supposed to be past tense.

Holy shit guys I'm really sorry how bad this chapter is, I was tempted to re-write the whole thing. . This was my favourite chapter when planning it out, but it didn't come out as well as I imagined. I'm not happy with this chapter at all, except for the title lol.

Anyways, let me know what you guys think either way. Maybe by some miracle you guys will like this chapter. I love reading your reviews and want to hear what you guys think, it is my motivation to keep writing and get chapters out faster for you guys.

Outtake/Extra Scene

A long period of silence broke out between the two roommates, after Eren had left; Mina started bombarding Annie with a bunch of personal questions. Now they sat in an awkward and uncomfortable silence, until Mina finally spoke up.

"So Annie, what's it going to take for me to get in on some of your and Eren's action?"

"Mina you're disgusting, grow up!" Annie rolled her eyes at her friend's eagerness.

"Come on Annie, lighten up. Eren is sooooo cute!" Mina whined.

"Yeah he is. And he is all mine, so fuck off," Annie said with a smirk on her face. She slammed the door right as all of Mina's anticipation and eagerness dropped from her face.
