"A-An-Annie...I..uh..want you to..uhm..know th-that..." bertholdt warily said

"Spit it out, I don't want to spoil my time with your blabbering." Annie blustery command

Two of them were talking behind the shade of the tree, it was also recess time in Kyojin Academy,
It was also the time for Bertholdt Fubar to profess his feelings for Annie Leonhardt. But she seems a bit impatient today, being called away from the canteen seems a bit intriguing causing Annie to be a bit curious of this small invitation of his.

"And what do you even mean by 'I want you to know that...'?" Annie replied as she crossed her arms.

"A-Annie I-I-I..." Bertholdt babbled, as he kept repeating the letter 'I'.

"On the count of 3 you'll say it, or I'll knock you out." as she ready her fist for a punch, as Bertholdt widen his eyes and his pulse has started to race. He knows how painful Annie throw her punches and kicks, even Eren nor Reiner can withstand such power.

"1" He clenched his fist, sweats starts to form around his face.

"2..." He closed his eyes, to a deep breath and gasp;

"I Love-"

Bertholdt was suddenly surprised by Annie as she pulled his long slender hands downward, held his cheeks and kissed his dried lips. After a few second she let go as he stared at awe.

"I told you i'll knocked you out, now, what did you said again earlier?"

"I-I love you, Annie..."

As they made their passionate kiss.
