Chapter 5: We were destined to be Together

It had been an entire week since squad 104's night of drunken splendour. The squad instantly regretted their decision to drink all that stolen alcohol when they were all dowsed with water the following morning and were made to take their punishment from Corporal Levi. Needless to say that most of them still had scars from the beatings 'Humanities strongest' dished out. He was especially focused on beating Eren and Armin to near death when they failed to clean something to his liking…

"Don't worry… even if I beat the crap out of you two, your Titan powers will have you up and running in no time. So I must be fair to all of your comrades who aren't titans and make sure that you two constantly end up in the infirmary." Armin couldn't help but shudder at the memory of the Corporal's sadistic words. Both Eren and Armin had agreed that they would never be caught dead in a room alone with the short man.

It was midday and the whole Corps was in the hall eating lunch. Armin, Eren, Mikasa and Annie were eating their lunch at a table close to door when the sound of footsteps rapidly making their way to the hall caused the group to look up at the front door. When the doors swung open, the ever happy and eccentric scientist Hanji Zoe scanned the room of shocked and equally worried faces of the survey corps. When her gaze landed on the titan-shifting duo she jumped up and down with glee and started skipping towards them like a child on her way to the candy store. Armin grabbed Mikasa's hand at the sight of the mad lady and was sure that his message of 'Please protect me from this psychopath' was received as she gently tightened her hold which felt like 'don't worry I'm here for you' to Armin. Eren had more… bold approach to seeking his stoic girlfriends help as he put his hand on her thigh and squeezed causing a blush to appear on her face and what made matters worse was the fact both Reiner and Mikasa noticed it and quickly allowed their respective smirks to appear on their faces. Annie would have scolded Eren for his reckless behaviour but Hanji had already arrived at their table with a smile so wide, one would swear that it looked like that of a titan.

"Eren! Armin!" She practically roared causing everyone to recoil at the pitch of her voice.

"Erwin gave me permission to start my experiments… I mean tests on you guys! So when you're done eating we can head outside." She said but then spoke up again when she noticed that their plates were empty.

"You're done… GREAT! LET'S GO!" she yelled as she grabbed both of their collars so hard that neither Annie nor Mikasa could stop her. Everyone was frozen on their seats at what had happened but when someone announced that he wants to see the Shiganshina duo transform, everyone bolted from their seats to go watch the spectacle that was about to unfold. Annie and Mikasa shared a glance at each other and sighed in unison as they disposed of their trays and followed the stampede outside.

When Hanji and the titan-shifters got outside, they were met with the sight of Commander Erwin and Corporal Levi's elite squad. Armin and Eren locked eyes with each other before turning their attention to the mad scientist.

"Don't worry about them guys! They are just here to make sure that you two don't go berserk! And besides… todays test is pretty simple in hindsight. I want you two to spar with each other in Titan form." Her smile widened at the prospect of seeing the brawl. Eren was about to question the odd request but the sound of several footsteps stopped him. It seemed that everyone in the Survey Corps was present to witness Eren and Armin and this made the both of them extremely nervous. Armin then returned his attention to Hanji.

"Uhm… I don't see the point of us sparring. What would that prove for you?" It was clear that Armin wanted to avoid all the spectators gathered by any and all means.

"To be honest I just want to see a titan fight!" She replied and was met with the cheers from the spectators who were eager to the see the fight.

"So we are just a show for your entertainment?" Eren asked as his rage was building by the second.

"And here they said you weren't smart." Hanji said as she patted the top of Eren's head. Eren was about to explode but Hanji continued.

"And besides… if you don't do I'll send you two to Levi since you guys had such a fun time last week." This caused Armin and Eren to shudder in unison and when they turned their gaze to the Corporal, he had an uncharacteristic smirk on his face. This instantly exterminated any arguments the two were going to say.

'FUCK NO!' The two thought simultaneously at the prospect of being under the watchful eye the short sadist. They both nodded to each other before making their way to the large clearing where they would be able to shift without endangering everybody else. When they were standing across from each other, they turned the heads to Hanji waiting for the go ahead and after nodding at them both, Eren lifted his thumb whilst Armin lifted his index finger. Both of them bit down into flesh at the same time and that was when two yellow and green bolts of lightning struck down to where the boys were. The crowd had to shield their eyes from the blinding light but when it faded away and the dust clouds that were around the boys settled down everyone gasped.

Eren and Armin had successfully transformed into titans and the result was loud cheering from the Survey Corps. Armin turned his head to face the group of spectators and tilted his head to the side in confusion as to why they were cheering but before he could think about the reason Eren bellowed out a loud war cry. Acting on the instincts he had received from several life or death situations during training, Armin ducked just in time to avoiding a sweeping punch from Eren. Eren then released a flurry of super quick punches aimed at Armin's head, chest and abdomen but Armin either dodged or blocked the blows. This was the story for a good minute before Armin saw an opening at sent a powerful punch to Eren's chest, promptly sending Eren a few feet back and eventually falling on his rear. Armin waited for Eren to concede but then Eren started growling and hyperventilating, causing everyone to watch in suspense at what was wrong. Steam started appearing around Eren's arms and legs and eventually the rest of his body. He stood up and then glared irately at Armin who took a cautious step back from the amount of killing intent leaking through his best friend. Hanji was about to tell the two that she had enough but she, and everyone else, gasped when flames appeared on Eren's arms.

Armin didn't even have time to register what happened when a fist surrounded by fire connected with his stomach making him skid across the clearing from the sheer force of the blow, Eren didn't relent though as he expelled a barrage of kicks and punches which all of them connected on various parts of Armin's body. Armin was face down on the ground in clear defeat but Eren had gone off the rails as he lifted his foot to crush the nape of the titan which would mean death for his best friend.

"Levi!" Hanji screamed as she knew that Eren had gone berserk and was about to kill the other shifter in the Survey Corps but when she turned her gaze to where the Corporal was, he was gone. She then turned her head to Eren in time to see 'humanities strongest' going in for the kill but it was too late as Eren's titan foot had planted itself on the nape of Armin's neck. There was a distinct 'crack' sound of a broken spine and everyone knew that Armin could be dead at that very moment. Levi had successfully removed Eren from the lump of titan flesh the next moment and it appeared that he was unconscious and had several red marks all over his face. Silence enveloped the grounds until the cry of Mikasa broke out.

"Armin!" she ran to the love of her life, followed closely by Annie and the rest of squad 104.

As she made her way to the now decomposing body of Armin's titan, she made her way to the nape of the beasts' neck only to find Armin lying motionlessly on one of the vertebrae. She carefully laid him down on the ground face up and was relieved to hear the soft sound of him breathing. Everyone present had formed a large circle to see the blonde cadet but the circle was broken when Eren ran to his best friend.

"Armin!" he yelled as he crouched down opposite Mikasa staring at his limp body with eyes filled with shame and guilt.

"Please forgive me man! I don't know what happened… the last thing I remember was you punching me and after I blacked out! I'm so sorry man!" he said as tears made their way down his face.

"Don't worry Eren. I'm sure he knows that you didn't do it on purpose" Annie said as she started rubbing her boyfriends' back.

"Don't worry Eren, Armin is fine. Let's get you two the infirmary right now." Mikasa said as she easily scooped up Armin bridal style and made her way to the infirmary with Annie following holding Eren up.

INFIRMARY

'I'm… back home?' Armin thought as the familiar setting of his home in Shiganshina took form. It had been exactly one week since Armin had one of these 'visions' and he had hoped that he wouldn't get them anymore since he honestly thought that he was losing his mind.

The room had only 2 occupants inside but that didn't make the scene before him any less baffling. Standing in the middle of the room was his father dressed in regal wear with a red cape and a large sword that Armin had never seen before but what got his interest was the sight of the woman Armin believed was Mikasa's mother. When he took a few steps forward he noticed that she was kneeling before his father with her left hand over her right pectoral and her right arm resting behind her back. It was like a reverse look of the normal salute Armin constantly performed.

"I, Maya Ackerman, hereby pledge that my daughter, Mikasa Ackerman, will serve as the Hand of the Crown Prince Armin and pledge her life to the fight for our great kingdom until her last breathe." She said in a stern voice.

Armin's mind was racing a mile a minute at this point. Words like 'Crown', 'Prince', 'Pledge and 'Kingdom' were printed in his mind. Confusion instantly filled his mind but before he could return to the obscure sense, everything started shifting causing Armin's vision to blur temporarily. When he managed to settle his eyesight, Mikasa's mother was gone and in her place was Dr Yeager. His father however was dressed in normal clothing and both his mother and grandfather were present. He could feel just how tense it was around the table.

"Maya was murdered three days ago…" Dr Yeager said as a single tear fell from his left eye. Armin quickly understood what he was referring to but opted to not dwell on it but rather Eren's father who took the dropping of the heads of the Arlert family as a sign to continue.

"I was able to get the information she managed to gather on the Reiss family before the Military Police confiscated it. It was extremely useful and will prove helpful when it's time for… 'that'. Her daughter is staying with me and my family and it appears that Maya didn't tell her anything as she doesn't even know who Prince Armin is…"

"Good. At least the plan can continue as scheduled. I've already received word that 3 agents are setting up the mission to breach the Wall Maria and when that time comes, we must hope that Armin, Eren and Mikasa…" he trailed off as everyone sitting around the table turned their attention to Armin who was standing by the door.

"Know who the enemy really is…"

Armin jolted awake from his more than weird dream. He started focusing on trying to calm himself down as his breathing was rapid and he was sweating profusely. After a minute or so, Armin glanced around and saw that he was in the empty infirmary. Lying back down on his pillow, he turned his head to the right to see the moon through the window next to him.

'I wonder how long I've been out. I hope Eren is ok…' he thought as he remembered the odd sparring session he had with his best friend. Armin then turned his head to the left and saw his favourite book on the outside world was on a chair next to his bed. This caused a smile to appear on his face as only one person could have done this.

'Thanks Mikasa…'

He grabbed his favourite book of the chair and was about to open to his favourite part of the book, which was in the middle, when he noticed a slit running along the top boarder of the cover page.

'When did that appear' he thought as he noticed that there was a sheet of paper embedded inside the slit. He cautiously lifted the sheet of paper and his eyes widened at the words written on the top half the paper. He froze from shock.

Marriage Certificate

Between the Crown Prince Armin and Princess Ymir.

Armin could only stare at the ten words in shock before the sound of a giggle startled him. When he turned his head to the direction in which the sound came from, low and behold it was Ymir sitting in the chair where he found his book.

"Good to see that you're better lover boy." She said with a smirk. Armin could only stare at her with eyes the size of most titans. This only seemed to amuse Ymir even more.

"I wonder how Mikasa is going to react when she finds out that my real name is Ymir Arlert… that will sure burn her ego. Well anyway, I just came by to check on my Titan Husband before I go to bed…" she said as she got up and kissed him on the lips. Before Armin could even register what was going on Ymir had disappeared.

"Fuck…"
