So, I'm back! yay! Anyways so this story is nearing a close, only one or two more chapters. So i can see that there is a good amount of people reading this story but for some reason only one of you feels the need to comment. (which I thank you for SecretWishX) but I would love to see three new comments.

I don't own SNK/AOT

(Mikasa P.O.V)
As I mount my horse I see the titan grab Jean, my stomach drops; I spur my horse in the titans direction. Suddenly the titan begins to fall, it must have tripped over the wire. I urge my horse to go faster.

"Come on!" I shout, hold on Jean I'm coming. I silently pray that I can reach him in time. As I get closer and the titan continues to fall, I lose sight of the blonde boy.

Suddenly blood erupts from the titan's hand.

"No." I whisper and slide off my horse to the cold ground. I feel a tear stinging my eye, but I don't-I don't cry. Why do I care if he's dead? Comrades die all of the time. It's not like he's someone or something special to me, is he?

I reflect on my time with him. He constantly had my back, and stuck up for me-even though I didn't need it, it was a nice feeling. Even if it was annoying when he obnoxiously announced his achievements to the the whole dining hall, I found it funny at times. Now I see that he was just trying to impress the group- or maybe he was trying to impress...me? No way, who would like me, I'm quiet and withdrawn; most people are too intimidated to even speak to me. But he always makes a point to talk to me. Maybe he does like me, but do I like him.

We first met when he and Eren we arguing about the military police. Of course I had seen him around before that, but we'd never interacted till that day. When Eren stormed out and I followed, as usual, but Jean stopped me to tell me that he liked my hair. It was the first non-combat related complement I had received since the day my parents were killed.

My father would always say.

"There's the two most beautiful girls in all of the kingdom." He also would announce how everything I made was the new best thing ever made. Even when it really wasn't. But he cared about me, he loved me. I thought he was the last one. Now, after I've watched him die, I realize Jean was the last one to love me.

"Mikasa!" My head snaps in the direction of the familiar voice, it Jean he's falling. But I watched him get crushed? Nevertheless I have to help him.

I jump back on the horse and thunder off towards him. I won't make it before he hits the ground, but a fall from that height won't do much damage, and certainly won't kill him. I'm a few yards off when I hear the audible thump of his body colliding with the ground and, to my horror, within seconds of him landing on the ground the titan falls right on top of him.

I Circle around the large beast for any sign of Jean, but the only thing I can see is the giant ugly titan with sandy brown hair-on second thought that might just be dirt. The wire did exactly as it was supposed to, it tripped and wrap the titan. He won't be getting up for a while, and until he does I won't be getting jeans body.

Suddenly I see the titans arm shift, but in an awkward way. Not something the creature could do on his own. It must be Jean he's alive. I spring from the horse and lift the arm as high as I can, it's not heavy but it's hard to move it while it's strapped to the beast side. Just as I had hoped, under the upper arm lays a banged up and bloody Jean.

"Hey, thanks I wasn't sure I was going to make it out all by myself." He says as he crawls out from under the large motionless body. Quickly shedding his now destroyed gear.

"You're alive!" I throw myself at him, wrapping him in the tightest hug I can manage. He stiffens, in shock or confusion, but he quickly relaxes.

"Ya, you didn't think this titan could take me down? I've faced much bigger titans all by myself." I release him and nod.

"Yes well..." I blush-this is weird for me, I don't usually do this. "We should be getting back." He nods.

"Okay, I just have to grab my gear real quick." I nod, he bounds over to it and I hear him whisper.

"I should get crushed by titans more often, it was worth it." My heart skips a beat, Jean does like me I wasn't just imagining it.

(Hanji P.O.V)
A loud chatter of a large group of soldiers echoes down the hall. I jump up to greet them as they pass my office.

"Hello!" I wave to the soldiers, a few I recognize but most are new. They salute and continue on, as the last few pass I see Erwin is following them.

"Erwin! How are you?" I yell, probably a little too loud for how close we are. That would make Levi so mad.

"I'm very good, squad commander Hanji. How are you?"

"Good" I sigh "I guess. Just bored, when is Levi getting back? Do you know?" He smiles at my questions, weird.

"Yes, as a matter of fact I do, he told me he's aiming to get back around nine tomorrow. At the latest nine the day after."

"Really!" I squeal, he nods."That means he'll be back before my birthday!"

"That is the goal." Erwin mumbles.

"What?"

"Oh, nothing. So I guess you're sleeping in Levi's room while he's gone."

"No, I asked but he said no." Erwin laughs, walking into Levi's office. Scanning the tidy space, he nods as if giving it his approval.

"He wants you too, he left his door open." I follow him into the office. "If he really didn't want you to, he'd have closed his door." He points to the open door we just walked through.

"Really, but he said no."

"Yes, well sometimes his no means yes." Erwin sits in Levi's chair "you just have to know the difference." He winks. What is that supposed to mean. I push it out of my mind as I plop on Levi's unusually comfortable bed.

"Okay, well I have a lot of work to do so-" I yawn mid sentence. Erwin takes this as a sign to leave.

"Yes, you're very busy and I've got some new recruits to watch so I'll see you later. Have a good night." Erwin smiled as he leaves.
I listen to his footsteps echoing down the-once again- empty hall. I like Erwin, he's like the big brother I never had. I lay back on Levi's cot, maybe I'll just take a little nap. As long as Levi and Erwin are around, humanity is safe.

(Armin P.O.V)
"Oh my gosh, I didn't think we were going to pull this off." Jean says as he and Levi finish tying up the second titan we caught. Levi believed both are deviant titans, which basically means they are focused on a goal as opposed to just eating people like the other titans.

"Well we did. Now who wants to help me measure these guys?" I asks as i join them by the second titan.

"No need, the first is about nine meters and the second is twelve." Says Mikasa as she also joins our little group by the foot of the restrained titan.

"Wow, you can tell that by just looking. You're amazing." Jean says to Mikasa, who blushes-yes actually blushing. It's freaking me out. Levi glares at the usually expressionless girl, he's noticed it too. He doesn't seem happy about it.

"Mikasa, Armin. Go set up camp. These titans aren't going to move until they have sun light; the sun doesn't rise for five more hours. Might as well get some rest." We both nod and march over to our designated camp spot.

"I'll make the fire, if you'll put up the tent." The dark haired girl agrees.

(Jean P.O.V)
As the other two disappear off into the trees, Levi turns his attention to me.

"What exactly is going on between you and Ackerman?" He question shocks me, and kind of confused me.

"There's nothing-nothing going on between us." But I wish there was. He slams me up against the bare side of the titan tree, apparently he didn't like my answer.

"She's been acting weird ever since you two went off by yourself to catch the smaller titan. Now I'm only going to ask one more time, what happened between you and Ackerman?"

(Eren P.O.V)
"...I mean can you believe that, she actually told me I shouldn't come?" I grumble to Bertholdt, who nods sympathetically.

"She's right though, Hanji has made some great head way with you. Taking you away wouldn't be a good idea. Besides I heard Levi only wanted a small team of four. " I sigh, shove my plate aside, and lay my head flat against the wooden table. In a muffled voice a ponder.

"I wonder who else went with them?" That's when Reiner joins the conversation.

"Levi, Mikasa, Jean-" I stop him mid sentence.

"Wait Jean! nobody said anything about Jean going on that mission." Bertholdt looks to riener, who shrugs.

"What's wrong with him going?" Bertholdt ask, as if he doesn't know. I glare at him, he smiles-on second thought maybe he doesn't know he's never been very observant.

"Jean is arrogant and cocky; he doesn't need Levi puffing up his ego by asking him to go on some elite mission. What is Levi thinking-?" My rant is interrupted by a small and extremely irate girl.

"Where is Armin?" Annie marches up to me and growls. I shrug.

"Did you check the guys barracks?" She glares at me. "Okay, what about Erwin's office ?"

"Of course I check with Erwin and do you know what he said?" I shrug. She continues. "He said to ask Levi, Armin better not have went on Levi's suicide mission. If he dies, I'll kill him." I'm pretty sure this is one of the longest conversations I've ever had with Annie.

"Okay, you were right." Reiner hands Bertholdt ten gold coins; Annie, seeing the exchange, glares at the two large boys.

"What are you two doing?" They both freeze. Bertholdt slowly slides the money in his pocket, being careful not to make any sudden movements that might set her off. They both know how to deal with her, I jump up and go to leave.

"Where are you going?" She growls, I stop and sigh, not turning around to face them.

"I don't know, wherever I want to cause you're not my boss." Bertholdt gasps, Reiner doesn't make a sound but I imagine he's just as shocked. People don't talk to Annie this way, but I've had enough of people telling me what to do.

"What did you say to me?" She growls. I spin around to face her, only to be greeted by her fist to my face. Then everything went dark.
