"What happened to her is she okay!?" Eren yells into the phone for the third time in a row as he hops into his car starting up the engine as fast as he could. After receiving a call from his adoptive father about Mikasa's well-being, Eren panicked. Throwing away what he was suppose to do, which was take out Armin, he concentrated on getting home as fast as he could.

Trying to be as careful as possible, Eren had calculated the fastest route to his house. After a few more sharp turns with other cars honking at him, Eren pulled up to his family's large drive way, and raced up to the front door. Unlocking it as fast as he could Eren barged into the front room listening in closely for the sound of people. Once he heard the muffled sounds of two people speaking, he ran into the living room where Mikasa and Levi ad been waiting. Immediately his eyes shot to Mikasa who had a wrap around her wrist.

"What happened are you okay? Who did this to you?" The wave of questions came, but Mikasa only replied with a soft smile and a pat to her brother's head.

"I'm fine Eren just a sprain from falling during basketball practice, who cares really?"

"I care."

"Thank you Eren that means a lot, but no need to work yourself up over it. I'm the one that's suppose to be protecting you."

"Then who is going to protect you?"

"I can handle myself. After all I am the president of the Judo team too;I'm strong."

"If you're so strong then how did you get hurt?"

"I'm human Eren we all get hurt at times, even the strongest."

"Don't scare me like that!"

"I didn't intend to. But I guess dad did exaggerate it a bit."

"Yeah he did!"

"No matter how I would have put it you would have been freaking out like this." Levi interjects from across the room with an unamused look on his face.

"The point is I'm fine. So you can calm down okay. After all I promised your mom I would take care of you as her dying wish."

"Yeah, I know..."

"Great, anyways besides this injury dad and I actually had another reason for getting you here faster."

"What?"

"Dad?"

"How was meeting your fiancee today?" Levi ask.

"Oh that guy, my god is he a loser! Fainted once he saw me, and ran away from me so I wouldn't take him out. And don't even get me started on what he said to me."

"Sounds like you found the right challenge for him dad."

"Seems so too, but what did he say to you? I'm actually surprised he talked to you so willingly, his father says he is usually mute."

"Really he talked to me today after I saved him from the group asking him inappropriate questions. He seems like a nice kid even if it was a few words. But anyways that is besides the point what did he say to you?"

"He asked me if 'it was boring sleeping with everybody'!" Eren exclaims with his hands stretched out trying to convey how angry he felt in that moment. And as he waited for his family's response. After taking a few seconds to process what he had just said both Levi and Mikasa let out a small giggle before trying to keep their typical straight face.

"Sounds like you got a slap back to reality." Levi comments first.

"I like my brother-in-law even more now." Mikasa adds in with a smile.

"How can you two say this!? He was being totally rude to me, and I used the typical nice guy script I always use!"

"Well your usual script won't work with him, sorry to break it to you."

"Then help me edit it!"

"No, no one from this family will help you with this challenge,and lesson. You have to learn."

"Mikasa."

"Sorry, dad's rule, but on the other hand I think you'll be a cute couple when the time comes."

"Will you stop saying that!"

"Saying what?"

"That we'll be a perfect couple we won't okay!"

"And why not?"

"I just don't like it when it comes from you."

"Why?" Mikasa inquires a bit confused wondering why Eren was getting angrier all of the sudden."

"Just because okay!"

"Eren I think you need to calm down."

"No I don't, you just don't get it!" Eren declares storming out of the room before he said something he would regret. Confused Mikasa looks at her father who simply shifts his eyes to the left. With a nod she gives a tired sigh and gets up to chase after Eren. Walking up the stairs and to the right, Mikasa found Eren's room, gave a knock, then used her good hand to twist the knob and let herself in. Seeing as her brother was sprawled on his bed looking up at the ceiling, he sat at the edge of his bed before speaking.

"What happened down there Eren?" She begins.

" Nothing, just angry that's all..."

"About what?"

"Nothing, I just can't tell you."

"Why not, you usually tell me everything."

"Well this is something I can't tell you okay?"

"Fine, I'll respect that. But if this is about Armin not falling for your charms at first sight, you're going to have a hard time."

"Ugh, I don't even want to think about that ugly freak."

"Eren he's not an ugly freak."

"How do you know? No one has seen his face so we can only assume that he is hiding something, and he has so many issues. I mean depression,come on."

"Eren that is nothing to make fun of!"

"Why not, it's just someone being extra sad so what cheer up."

"You don't know what he's been through. No one does, and the thing with depression you may not be able to see the injuries in his mind since they aren't visible, but that doesn't mean they aren't there at 't you remember how depressed how you felt after your mother's death, imagine staying in that state forever."

"I-I guess you're right...That was a hard time."

"I know I'm right Eren.

"Okay, I'm sorry."

"Don't say that again."

"Yes mom."

"Hmmm..."

"But jeez Mikasa how am I suppose to win this?"

"Well I know a sure fire way for you to win this."

"What's that?"

"Actually fall in love with him."

"No, Mikasa I already told you I hated when you talked about me getting a girlfriend or boyfriend."

"Well it's a suggestion."

"A cruddy one at that."

"Eren you know I only say these things because I love you."

"Not the way I love you though..." Eren mutters under his breath.

"What was that?" Mikasa pretends that she didn't hear, for she already knew her brother's secret.

"Nothing, nothing."

"Just give it some thought Eren. I have to write up some proposals now, try to calm down a bit okay? And give this kid a chance."

"If you say so."

"Great." Mikasa states before getting up to leave, leaving Eren alone in his room. Once she left, Eren let out a heavy sigh feeling his heart finally start to go bat to its original rhythm. When it was completely back to normal, Eren lightly slapped his cheeks and tried to knock himself out of his daze. He had forgotten how many years ago he had fallen for his adoptive sister. But all he knew was that it was an unrequited love. No he had not ever tried to confess to her, but that was because he knew that she only had platonic feelings for him. Knowing just that made Eren's heart ache as it usually did, and he hated how he could do nothing to turn over his love.

Therefore he started to test his strategies of flirting with others, and by some stroke of luck it worked out. Everyone that he had flirted with slept with him, and Eren couldn't help with like it because he let out his sexual tension. However he knew that no matter how many suitors he had, none of them would be the one he really wanted.

Getting up, Eren ran his fingers through his soft hair and got up to the computer. Booting it up so that he could research everything he can about how to deal with Armin's type, Eren tried not to think of his crush. Typing in random things here and there, Eren searched up more shoujou mangas and many other sources where romantic scenarios would be posted. He then filtered out every character type except the shy type. After reading up for hours, the brunette cringed at all the lovey dovey things that people fell for.

To him he felt that doing any of these things would forsake his masculinity, but to others they were gestures of love and care. It felt so uneasy for him to think of even trying anything on Armin. Nonetheless he pressed on; he took notes and memorized some quotes, even practiced how he would approach Armin again. With his new game plan in hand, the player shut off his computer and decided it was time to sleep after checking the time. Slipping into his pajamas, Eren grabbed his phone and placed it to charge before laying in bed.

Then he started to scroll, through the notes he had transferred off of his laptop and started to memorize them as if he were studying for test. As he did so, he couldn't help but hear the smart remark from his finacee that hurt his ego.

"Must be boring only sleeping with everyone in the whole school huh?"

The words repeated in his head mocking him with every chance they got. Gritting his teeth, Eren peered at the small screen more intensely putting in a few more hours of work before going to sleep.


The next morning, Eren got up earlier than his lunch and eating his breakfast, Eren went out the door and into his car. When he arrived at school, Eren searched for any other people around and saw that he indeed came very early. Moaning, Eren marched through the empty hall ways to his first period class where his teacher waited for more students to pile in. Asking the teacher where Armin was to be sat, Eren thanked her and started to dig through his bag for things he had prepared for the masked teen.

Taking out a bottle of orange juice, a flower with a small vase, toast with butter,and a note Eren placed them in the proper places making sure everything was visible. After all that was done he waited patiently for everyone to come in; And within ten minutes more students came. Each one that came in noticed the display that Eren had put out and felt a pang of jealousy but ignored it. Soon enough the moment of truth came, when Eren saw Armin come in through the door with a different mask on for the day.

Getting up, and putting on a fake smile once more, Eren decided to use much warmer words this time with Armin considering his usual script didn't work. Walking up to the blond before he could sit down, the blond stopped and scanned Eren before shoving his way through the other. Caught off guard, Eren forgot to say his planned words to the other. Shuffling so that he prevented the other from moving any further once more, Eren spoke.

"Good morning, you look lovely today. I got you toast and orange juice just in case you skipped breakfast." Eren says as he watched Armin's reaction to this. Observing the obvious sigh escaping the other's lips, he allowed his path way to be open once more. Then the blond identified his seat that indeed did have the things it said on it. Watching as the other placed his bag down and looked at the object, Eren kept an eye on his as he sat in his seat. Suddenly without warning, Armin grabbed the note and read it. He then grabbed a pen and started to write on it, a response to his letter he assumed.

Sitting with a smirk he laughed to himself finally feeling that the earth was back in balance since his strategy was working. Amusing himself in his own personal victory, he failed to notice Armin approaching him with all the things that he had placed on his desk. By the time he noticed Armin, was already at his seat taking notes. Looking down he saw nothing had been touched but the letter. Opening it up, Eren read the note that had some words scratched out and added in and felt like someone had yet again stabbed his ego once more.

/Admin: Parenthesis is what Eren put originally/were scratched out, underline is what Armin added in/

Dear (Armin) Eren

I gave this to you so that you would (not) stop being thirsty for anything that walks on legs.

I also got you toast (so that you wouldn't be hungry) for when you have too many people on you, you can distract them with food like pigeons.

I'm not (sorry) for the canceled date, I hope that we don't get another one.

Love not really,

(Eren) Armin

Reading it over twice Eren looked back to where Armin was sitting and stared at him in disbelief. However the other didn't even notice since he was much too busy copying down the day's notes. Crumpling up the note and shoving it into his pocket Eren put the orange juice and toast giving it to some other guy in the class that he had already slept with. Blowing a kiss and giving a wink, Eren sat back down and started to boil in his anger. Once the bell rang for class to begin, Eren ignored 's lecture on style analysis. All he could think of at the moment was a way to counteract Armin's doing. After spending a whole class period reflecting on it, Eren came up with the idea to get his friends involved with conquering this the bell for passing period sounded, Eren waited for Armin to pass by the door and when he did he got up and followed him.

"Hey wait up, I'm not done talking to you. You know that was kind of mean what you did. It hurt my feelings you know?" Eren states and gives a effortless laugh as he walked along the blond. However the other just ignored him one again only giving him is response inside his head. Eren huffed at this and tried once more to get an answer from the other.

"Not talking today are you? Or am I just that good looking that you can't make eye contact with me?" Once again no reply, came causing Eren to clench his hands in a fist.

"Come on, say something. Come on you know you want to talk to me." Eren attempts yet another time, however Armin then began to advance forward faster picking up his pace. Keeping up the other, Eren pushed anyone in his way. However that didn't work as well since Armin's smaller form helped him maneuver his way through the crowd easily. Deciding to cut his loss, Eren turned around to go to his class. He would have his chance later on that day with a brand new plan once again after he discussed things with his friends.


When lunch finally had started Eren eagerly awaited the arrival of his friends who had fourth period together. Seeing them from a distance he waved them over making sure they knew where he was. With a nod they alerted him that they knew where he was and started to make their way towards him. Once they were at the table, Eren gave a few hugs to his friends before sitting among them as they took out their food.

"Guys, I hate to say it but, I need help." Eren began with a defeated sigh and a hint of a blush considering he never had to ask help from anyone before when it came to seducing.

"Help with what math?Sorry dude not my subject, ask Christa." Connie replies with a mouth full.

"No not that, I need help...Seducing my fiancee..." Eren tells more explicitly, but still tried to keep the last part low so no one else would that only earned Eren food being spit in his face as the shock was too much for his friends. Some were coughing from their drink going down the wrong tube, others looked with an apologetic smile sorry for spitting on him. With his hand Eren wiped the food bits away from his face angrily before giving his friends an ugly look.

"Whoa whoa whoa, let me get this straight The Great Eren Jaeger, needs help seducing someone for once, I've got to be dreaming." Jean belts out loud only to be shushed by Eren who was red as a rose.

"Will you be quiet damn! You'll ruin my rep."

"Whatever, but what's making you so tripped up that you can't get in his pants within the first two days?"

"For one the way he acts, and two this." Eren pulls out the letter he gave to Armin, placing it on the table and flattening it out so it would be easier to read. Jean then grasped the crumpled paper and allowed the others from the table to gather around and read it. For a second everyone remained quiet, then there was one snicker that soon turned into the whole group laughing. Deciding that they had had their fill, Eren leans over the table to grab the letter shoving it back into his pocket. As he waited for his friends to calm down, he got his lunch out and started to shove food into his mouth until one person could talk again.

"That's rich, a-are you sure t-this came from the masked freak!?" Jean comments first , struggling to hold back his giggle as he did so.

""Yeah, if this came from him, boy I want to get to know this guy. And the power he has to not fall for you! There is a god!" Ymir says finally cracking a smile in front of the group.

"Totally, he's a riot where is he right now I need to give him a high-five!" Sasha interjects.

"Psssh, I need to ask him for some tips on how to reject people like that." Christa adds.

"Oh Christa shut up, we all know you're secretly mean!" Connie shouts.

"That's besides the point Connie."

"Can we get back to the reason I showed you guys this!?" Eren yells getting everyone's attention.

"Fine," they say in unison.

"Great so what should I do? The basics aren't working at all."

"The hell if we know, none of us but Ymir and Christa here are a couple." Sasha reminds.

"Oh yeah, forgot you guys were virgins..."

"Hey not all of us can be man whores like you okay?"

"What can I say it's a gift. Anyways, I need ideas."

"Well sorry again we don't really know what to do."

"That's not help, thanks a lot."

"You're welcome."

"You know actually I may have a way." Christa says, having everyone's attention turned to her.

"So let me hear it!"

"Get close to him by pretending to be his friend."

"That's going to be hard, he hasn't spoken to me a lot..."

"He spoke a little yesterday."

"He must like you guys then."

" Not really...He only talked to Mikasa."

"Well I'm not gonna ask her to do that;she never will. Also I don't want her getting near that freak."

"Fine then, we'll do it."

"Really you guys up for it?"

"Might be fun with this guy, after all he gave you that letter and it was hilarious!" Sasha reminds to reassure Eren.

"Totally, and who isn't up with messing with a loser like him. After we're done with him, he'll like us so much maybe he'll do our homework for us and use him as our play thing." Ymir adds in.

"That's great guys!I'll set up a group chat for us, and I'll tell you the game plan."

"Why can't you tell us after school?"

"I've got a prior engagement."

"Oh, getting some?"

"When am I not?"

"When you talk to Mikasa."

"WILL YOU SHUT UP!"

"Sorry sensitive topic, I was just joking." Jean says just to annoy Eren.


Later on that day, Eren did exactly what he said he would do. It was late into the night, and Eren was in a club with a girl clinging o his torso. After drinking a few cups of water that he pretended was vodka, he gave a kiss to the top of the girl's head. She gave a laugh but then turned to sit in his lap, and start giving him a dance. Smiling as he grabbed the woman's hip lightly, he licked his lips and admired her dancing. Though his body seeemd to enjoy the action he was getting, his brain was telling him that she was nothing special.

Eventually it grew too be the early morning, and Eren was just about to bring the girlto her house where they would engage in sexual affairs. However that was all stopped when a familiar red scarf flashed by him pulling him away from the girl. Stunned by the sudden action, Eren tried to get out of the person's grip, but it was too tight for him to break. Multiple times he demanded the other let him go, but that only earned him the grip to tighten around his arm. Then all of the sudden he was pushed outside and could finally see the girl who had taken him away.

Mikasa with angry eyes glared at her little brother with her phone in hand. Observing her stature, Eren braced himself for the worse knowing it was not the best to get the girl angry.

"Do you know what time it is Eren!?" She belts out as she begins to tap her foot.

"Y-Yes...N-Nooo." Eren replied with honesty the second time knowing that she could see through his lie.

"Well it's 3 o'clock in the morning Eren, do you know how worried Dad and I were? You never go out this late!"

"Well...I was kind of busy, this one was taking her damn time."

"Eren,honesty we don't care about you getting some! We want you home! We thought something had happened to you! I called all our friends to find you, but they had no clue where you went!"

"They didn't need to know."

"That's besides the point, you have a fiancee now! You can't afford to do this anymore you know?" She says with a sigh trying to calm herself down.

"A fiancee I never wanted, might I remind you."

"I hate repeating myself, but Eren you got one and now you're stuck with him."

"Well I don't want him, and I'm sure he doesn't want me either. He hasn't said a word to me!"

"He'll warm up to you."

"As if!"

"He will, and you just have to make an effort in liking him. I know deep down he is a nice person that anyone would like you just have to give him a chance."

"Well I don't want to give him a chance!"

"And why not? He hasn't done anything bad."

"Because I love somebody else okay!"

"Really? Because from the looks of it you throw the word 'love' as a ticket to get sex."

"Well this is different! I love her! I've always loved, her! The only reason I do this stuff it because she'll never like me back!"

"How do you know have you ever tried?"

"Yes, but it never works! Just leave me alone okay!"

"No Eren, I can't leave you alone. I'm worried for you! And if you really like this girl why not put the more effort into it?"

"BECAUSE I JUST CAN'T OKAY!" Eren yells trying to keep his cool, but deep inside his heart was aching telling him, to tell his adoptive sister how he felt. However his fears tried to keep it down as best as he could, so he kept the conversation vague.

"And why not? What are you so afraid of?"

"NOTHING OKAY, CAN WE JUST DROP THIS!?"

"NO Eren! If she can be the person for dad to drop this agreement with and make you happy I'll hear you out! I'll help you. Just tell me who she is."

"SHE'S YOU OKAY!THERE YOU HAPPY!" Eren exclaimed for the whole street to hear. For a second there was a dead silence, no one spoke. Eren breathes heavily only realizing what he had just said. Looking straight into Mikasa's eyes, she looked as shocked as she was until her eyes reverted back to normal. Eren's heart was beating a thousand miles per minutes and he didn't know what to do. He had finally confessed to the girl he liked, and now how would she react. The silence was killing him, however it didn't kill him as much as Mikasa's expression towards him.

"I-I'll wait in the car...Just hurry up okay..." She says awkwardly not knowing how to react to a confession from someone she only viewed as family. Watching as she walked away into the darkness, Eren kicked a near by can and whisper screamed while looking like he was having a fit.

"I'M SUCH AN IDIOT! IDIOT! IDIOT! NOW SHE KNOWS!" He said as he jumped up and down waving his arms in various positions trying to release all is embarrassment. After that he began to pace around as he held his head with the palm of his hand as he watched the ground, failing to see someone walking up to him. He remained this way for a few brief moments, before hearing the message notification from his phone sound. Going into his pocket Eren, saw that it was an unrecognized number. Hesitantly he opened the message to see the words: I think I have a solution that can benefit the both of us. And if you're wondering who this is, look straight ahead from where you are.

Stunned but still curious, Eren did as he was told and saw the person standing a few feet away from him. First seeing the blond hair and the mask glint in the moon light, Eren stood there shocked for a few reasons. One, Armin has his phone number when he never gave it to him. Two the other had heard what had just happened. Lastly, the least likely person to want to help him was offering him help.

"What did you have in mind?"
