Chapter 4

Author's Note: I really appreciate everything you guys are doing, and all of the support. (^-^) I might not update for about 3 weeks because I'm going to China, so this might be my last update until sometime later. I'll miss you guys, and I'm super sorry!

"Wow! I can't believe today's graduation day!" Eren said to Mikasa, Armin, and you.

"Yeah, I can't believe it," Armin said with a look on his face very much between worry, and happiness.

"Mhm, Eren," Mikasa said with her somewhat emotionless face that seemed a bit softer.

"Good luck Eren! I know you can do this!" you shouted at him through the screen, in hopes of him acknowledging you were there. He gave a slight, but barely noticeable nod of his head, and a small grin that lasted for seconds before the instructor, Keith announces everything.

Eren was feeling nervous as to what everyone would join, but at the same time, he was so glad that he would finally have the chance to make his dreams come true.

You giggled as you watched Eren's cute, and calm face face, telling yourself over and over that you didn't like him, but every time, your heart felt something different.

Eren blushed, hearing your giggle, but then got into position. When the instructor, Keith, was almost through, Eren shouted out that he would be going to the Survey Corps, even though he was eligible to join the Military Police. He knew his dream ever since the start, and if he didn't follow through, he would look really lame in front of you, after he had told you all of his plans for the future, and what he would do when he got in.

You kept silently praying in your mind that Eren would do well. You knew Eren had amazing confidence, and courage, so he definitely should be able to get through everything that they throw at him, right? As your screen shifted through the scenes, you noticed that his friends joined him, even though he insisted that they don't. You saw the strong bond that they had as friends together, and you were jealous of their close relationship as friends because you did have friends, but a lot of them weren't as near as close as those on the screen.

'I will protect them!' Eren thought to himself, after Mikasa and Armin decided to come with him. He had no idea how he would have even survived without them by his side, and he looked back at all of the nice memories that they've all had. Eren then met Hannes, the one who failed to save his mother, and he felt a stab in his heart, as he apologized to them for not saving his mother. He then realized his resolution to kill all of the titans, and to make them pay for what they've done to not only him, but all of humanity.

When looking at Eren, you could feel something off balance, so you looked at him, and asked quietly, "Are you ok?" Eren immediately snapped out of his trance-like state that he had no clue he was in.

"Yeah," Eren said shyly, scratching the back of his neck.

"That's good," you said as you felt the heat come up to your cheeks.

Eren felt amazing after you said that because he felt so much care for him, and he was so happy that you cared for him that much. Eren then came back into his reality, and looked around as they were maintaining the canons. His friends then told him about their intentions of joining the Survey Corps with him. He was astounded that his friends would do that too, even though most of them had said that they wanted to join the Military Police, so they wouldn't have to face a titan.

You definitely knew that Armin and Mikasa would be by his side, but you didn't expect so many others too. Then, just as Eren saw, you saw a flash of yellow light, and heard a bolt of lightning come out of what seemed to be the sky. Then dread filled you as the Colossal Titan appeared. Hoping the best for Eren, all you could do is cross your fingers and wait to see what happens.

Eren was shocked, no more than shocked, mortified that the Colossal Titan would choose this time to show up. He looked around, and saw all of his team mates hesitating to even move, and then it struck him. Why didn't he just attack it now? He ran towards the titan, not even caring if his comrades were coming or not, and used his 3D Maneuvering device for the first time in a fight. Feeling your strength, and all of his other comrades faith in him made him feel all that much better, and he soared through the air like a bird, whispering 4 last words to you, "Here I go _."
