"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."

- Henry David Thoreau

Chapter Five: Unexpected.

It had been four days since Ymir and I patched things up.

Four days to remind myself that next week will be the end of this month and that the month after I will be graduating.

Time certainly does fly.

Luckily the day after things settled themselves I did not have to serve detention with Mr. Cullens, thanks to Mikasa for telling our parents what she saw, and thus I did not gain any further hindrance from him. Though he does glare at me an awful lot and occasionally leer at me.

All in all he is still the creeper of a two faced teacher.

I've also learned through Eren, after he finally resurfaced from Armin's home, that the college he and Mikasa were attending is currently under renovation after mold was found throughout the campus and dorms.

Meaning that for the rest of their schooling this year they will be at home doing online classes. Which also means I'll be seeing more of Mikasa and well with how things have shifted between the two of us I'd like to say that I'm glad for this.

At the current moment I'm pulling on a shirt over my sports bra and packing the rest of my clothes into my bag to head to the Dojo. Even though today is a Friday we didn't have school today it has something to do with teachers preparing for our Finals – which makes me nervous and excited.

I am more than grateful for the break away from school I was even allowed to sleep in! Though I did miss Eren and Mikasa leave to retrieve their belongings. From what Mama told me when I woke up – which was around 11:00 a.m – that they left around six this morning to beat the traffic by an hour.

It's understandable really since their school is an hour away but I still wanted a hug goodbye.

I shake my head clearing any and all thoughts.

"Sasha," the muffled sound of Mama's voice echoed throughout the hallway, "come here when you're done please!"

I grimace slightly as a list of things I possibly forgot to do flashed through my eyes.

I did the dishes, washed my bike, took the trash out, made sure everything was clean though I could have forgotten something I just didn't know what.

"Sasha?"

"I'll be right there," I holler down now feeling concerned.

I don't waste anytime since I have my bag packed – though my hair is still down - as I walk out of my room in a hurry and nearly fall down the stairs as I make way to the kitchen.

Mama is standing there with her back turned to me.

I swallow thickly.

"Yes mama?"

"Oh," she hums out as she turns to look at me with a smile, "that was fast."

"You said to come down once I was finished," I frowned, "I didn't forget a chore did I?"

She shakes her head with a giggle causing me to relax as she leans into the counter.

"Of course not sweetheart I just wanted to tell you that I'll be taking you to the Dojo and then I'll be going to visit your father."

"I thought I was going to take the bike," I ask as I scrunch my brows together, "I mean won't that be less time consuming?"

"Nonsense," Mama chuckled, "I thought I'd take you as a mother daughter bonding time."

A part of me wants to say no, but Mama looks at me with her big soft honey irises a pout etching it's way into her features and all at once I don't have the heart to say it.

"Okay," I smile widely – a true smile – as I tilt my head, "when will we be leaving?"

"Now if you like I'm sure you want to hurry and see Ymir and Jean."

"Alright, I'll go wait in the car."

"Okay sweetie I'll be there shortly."

I nod my head as I walk into the garage – to Mama's car – and once I'm inside it I lean my head against the rest and close my eyes.

A few heart beats later the door opens and Mama climbs in.

"So little darling," Mama hums out as she ignites the vehicle to life, "how are you faring with Finals coming up?"

"Just fine," I smile brightly as I keep my eyes closed, "technically I can graduate now I have more than enough credits to do so."

"But wouldn't you miss your friends," worry has twined itself into her concern causing me to open my eyes and look at her, "I mean you have a month left surely you would stay in?"

"I was going to Mama," I pout which earns me a faint chuckle as she backs out of the garage all the way to the end of the drive way until she maneuvers us to the point we're headed down the road – albeit much like we would if Eren was driving.

"I've been meaning to ask," Mama began with a light chirp flicking her gaze at me before refocusing on the road, "have you met anyone recently?"

I tense as I tilt my head trying to ease my body into relaxing as I look at her.

"What do you mean Mama?"

"Any special boy or girl in your life," she tries again with a smile, "don't worry if you like or fancy a girl darling your father and I are fully supportive as we are with Mikasa even though your father still is wary of Annie."

"Papa definitely isn't the only one ," I thought before shaking my head with a smile.

"I haven't met anyone that I would consider special besides making new acquaintances but other than that no."

"Are you sure," she asks, "because you've seemed a lot happier as of late and Mikasa mentioned someone named Levi last I spoke to her."

I freeze keeping my eyes trained on the road. Mikasa mentioned Levi to Mama? Why would she or rather how could she? I feel my heart hammering against my rib cage – each thump more painful then the next, but all I could do was suck in an a deep breath before exhaling softly calming my nerves as I force a smile on my face.

"I've met a Levi – yes," then slowly – deliberately I look at Mama with what I hope is a curious gaze, "what all did Mikasa tell you?"

"It was the darnedest thing really your sister walked into the kitchen a week ago to tell your us that you were being harassed by your teacher Mr. Cullens and of course your father was furious so he went to his study to call the school and well," Mama paused as we reached one of the stop signs before sighing, "she asked me if she could have some advice – which was the first time that she has ever asked for such a thing so I smiled and told her yes – and well she told me that you happened to like someone named Levi and that she wanted to know what she should and should not ask while discussing relationships with you."

"I uh," I swallow down the stammer trying to claw it's way through my throat as I look at the road, "I mean Levi is attractive yes and I may have a slight crush on her but I doubt it would be more than friendship between the two of us."

I smile at how true those words felt, but still felt odd about the situation. Mikasa had went to Mama for advice so I don't necessarily blame Mikasa for telling Mama, but at the same time I feel all the more curious as to why she did when she could have asked me, but I guess we're still distant than close so I just sigh.

"Don't be upset with your sister she worries over things when it comes to you."

I look at Mama then furrowing my brows.

"She does?"

"She does," Mama smiles sadly, "she just doesn't know how to properly show it or even voice what she is feeling half the time – when your father and I began to raise her she was constantly with your brother the two practically joined at the hip and then Eren and his accident – " she tenses and I can tell it isn't easy for her to talk about even now so I smile softly.

"It's okay Mama you don't have to tell me."

"Maybe not today," she smiles thankfully at me, "at any rate we're here."

I snap my gaze from Mama to notice that we are in fact in front of the Dojo so I unbuckle and then turn in my seat leaning forward kissing Mama on her forehead – to comfort her from her thoughts – and smile as I pull back.

"I love you Mama bear," I sing out as I open the door climbing out with my bag in tow.

"I love you too my little bear," she sings out happily and with a quick wave I shut the door and head inside.

I push away any and all thoughts of our little talk as I make my way to the dressing room designated for guests only to stop when I hear rather strange...noises?

I inch closer to the door risking to sneak a peek and ultimately I regret it because I see Nanabu holding Petra in a rather peculiar sort of position causing me to stumble back with eyes wide and cheeks possibly stained red as I crash rather ungracefully on the floor.

"What was that," I hear Petra's muffled voice as she moans out again, "Nanabu stop that I heard something."

"I didn't hear anything babe," he chuckles, "besides if we're found out it's because you were lost in the passion enjoying yourself am I right?"

I hear a loud distinctive smack and a definitively deep yelp.

"Ow babe that hurt," Nanabu whined and I'm pretty sure he is pouting.

"Get over it," Petra chuckles and then moans out rather loudly causing my heart to hammer as I stagger to my feet, "please," I hear Petra beg as I turn around with wide eyes, "go faster and hurry I'm suppose to be visiting Christa today."

"As you wish," I hear Nanabu say in that deep voice of his and shake my head as I walk or rather stumble away quickly.

"I am forever going to be scared for life," I mumble as I make my way to Ymir's room to change. I wonder what Petra meant when she said she was suppose to be visiting Christa though?

Without thinking or paying attention I fling Ymir's door open only to be frozen in place.

"For fucks sake," I choke out as I stare wide eyed at Ymir on top of a half naked Christa, "not you guys too!"

"Oi, close the fucking door," Ymir growls out she peeks over her shoulder, "or stand there like an idiot and watch we'll even give you a little show – ow!"

"Ymir," Christa warned flatly before peeking over her shoulder to peer at me, "I'm sorry Sasha but can you shut the door we'll be out in like ten minutes."

"But Christa," Ymir whines about to speak when Christa leans forward capturing Ymir's mouth with her own.

I take that as a sign and slam the door shut red faced as I try to get the images of my best friends out of my head.

"Dammit," I mutter out as I kick off my shoes wiggling out of my pants.

"Looks like I'm changing in the fucking hallway just great fucking rabbits they are."

A thought struck me then causing the blood to drain from my face as I pull my t shirt off.

"What if Mikasa and that blonde..."

I shake my head as I open up my bag pulling out my boots. Now is not the time to be thinking about that even though I know it's useless they could be for all I know and the idea of it doesn't set well with me at all.

But what can I do about it?

I push open the double doors leading into the Dojo area while I was pulling my hair back – luckily I was fast enough to miss getting hit, but I still manage to bump in to someone.

"Walk much – oh hey Sasha," Jean smiled as I looked at him, "you hardly walk properly so I won't hold it against you."

"Oh, Jean," I gasp looking at him with mock hurt as I pout, "I'm wounded I thought we talked about you – talking about yourself."

He rolls his eyes at my cheeky smile before wrapping an arm around my shoulder.

"Whatever Potato Girl so tell me why the long face?"

"Says the Horse Boy," I grunt out as I elbow him in the side, "and my face is fine I accidentally walked in on Ymir and Christa."

"Yikes," he chuckled out, ""I'm guessing Ymir is out for your blood now that you ruined her 'sexy time' with her princess."

"No, not this time I think Christa was in one of her moods," I giggle a moment before looking rather enlightened, "besides I came here to spar so if she wants to go we'll go."

"Actually," a soft voice beside us calls out startling us both, "if you're looking to spar someone Sasha I'd like to if you don't mind?"

"I – uh..."

"You're Levi Ackerman," Jean whistles out as he moves his arm from my shoulder, "you have been ranked number one in the last four years in the Iron Fist tournaments!"

I look at Jean and then I look at Levi completely thrown off by what Jean said, but then again I didn't know Levi's last name so I kept my mouth shut studying her. She merely shrugged regarding Jean for a moment before shifting her gaze to me.

I feel that awkward flutter in my chest but push it aside as I smile at her.

"I'd like that actually," I turn to look at Jean, "I'll speak to you later," my gaze then moves down to his neck and I roll my eyes as I push myself to the mat whispering softly, "I didn't realize Marco was a biter."

Once I reach the mat I turn and face Levi who wasn't that far behind me which causes me to take my stance.

"Don't go easy on me," I warn her, "it would be heartbreaking if you did."

"Alright," she smiles faintly as she takes her stance, "ready?"

"Ready," I call out only to dodge the first punch Levi throws at me and stumble back landing on my butt as she goes to move again.

"I thought you were ready," she smirks playfully as she stands there towering over me.

"Yeah well you're fast," I counter sticking out my tongue as I stand.

Levi takes a few steps back – smirk in place – as she takes her stance again looking at me with her playful gray irises.

"How about we have a wager," she says finally after a moment.

"A wager," I asked skeptically as I look at her smilingly slightly, "go on?"

"If I win you go on a date with me."

I feel my heart flutter awkwardly a part of me liking this idea, but Mikasa flashes before my eyes and I force out a smile as I focus on Levi.

"And if I win?"

"Whatever you want," she says evenly, "within reason though I won't partake in criminal activity."

"Party pooper," I frown before taking my stance, "if I win I'll think of something."

"Fair enough," she says cooly before focusing on me, "are you ready this time?"

"Yeah," I smile only to grit my teeth as she lunges at me again. Levi is fast – about as fast as Mikasa – if not faster as I nearly get hit by her seventh punch, but I'm determined.

When she goes for her ninth punch I duck – she has been favoring her fists – so I sweep my leg against hers smiling when I make contact failing to notice her right fist.

She hits me in the side and I stagger backwards – it wasn't particularly hard but it still surprised me – as I look at her.

"You are making this a little to easy Sasha," she smiles out as she goes to hit me again, "it's almost like you want to go on a date with me."

That snaps me from my surprise as I block her hit – grabbing her by the arm – and flip her on her back. She looks stunned, only for a moment, as she gets up to round house kick me in the stomach – a little harder than her punch, but luckily I grabbed her by her leg and swung her to the ground.

She gets back up – a smile permanently on her features – as she lunges at me once again. I side step her with ease finding my center as I managed to hit her in the arm. She spins around going to kick me, but I use my palm pushing her leg back down and dodge the punch she goes to throw by throwing one of my own.

I hit her in the chest this time – not hard – and then I smile at her.

"Am I making this to easy for you now," I'm surprised by how voice drops an octave or two and blush when I'm being tossed over Levi and pinned on my back.

"Shit that hurt," I wince as I look up at Levi – her eyes three shades darker stare back at me – I swallow thickly as I look straight into them, "she almost looks like Mikasa with long hair."

I start to squirm when an image of Mikasa on top of me looking at me like Levi is flashes before my eyes causing my breath to hitch when she adds pressure as she leans forward – breath ghosting the shell of my ear as she huffs out ,"do you yield yet?"

I feel a weird pull in my gut and I buck into Levi – surprising her as I manage to flip our positions – and with a shakey smile I look down at her.

"Not yet," I get off of her ignoring the catcalls and wolf whistles as I take my stance again, "I still haven't figured out what I wanted if I win."

"Let's continue then," she smiles as she gets up going at me again.

She starts to throw an onslaught of fast punches that I keep parleying – which must be frustrating – as we begin to dance and then I think back to when Mikasa and Annie were sparring how they looked before I went and sparred with Ymir.

We begin to attract a crowd – I faintly hear Jean and Ymir cheering me on and Nanabu yelling for Levi to end it – but we're in the moment.

A moment that I don't want to end so I keep pushing.

"This is the longest I've sparred," Levi says offhandedly as she takes a swing at me, "you should feel honored."

"I'll get on my knees and bow to your magnificence later," I fire back not thinking about my words as Levi stares at me oddly a faint blush covers her cheeks.

"Wait – I didn't mean – " I don't have time to cover up my mishap as Levi kicks me in the leg and in one swift motion I am on my back again with her looking down at me with that sharp intense gaze of herself causing me to groggily look away from her only for my heart to halt when I notice a different pair of gray to stare at me.

I go to move, but Levi's hold is impossible to get out of at the moment, but my gaze hasn't faltered from Mikasa.

"How long has she been standing there," I wonder frantically as I try to move my body again and then in my misery I see Annie next to Mikasa moving her hand gripping Mikasa's backside rather suggestively spurring that same feeling I felt when she kissed Mikasa.

I force my gaze to Levi who is looking at me rather surprised – and I, without really thinking – use that to my advantage as I use my legs flipping her over me and then pin her halting my fist an inch from her face.

"Do you yield," I rasp out as I gaze down at her – her expression is just as surprised as it was moments before – only to snap back to reality looking up at me.

"Yes."

I let out a soft breath as I lean forward kissing her cheek and then pull away blushing as I go to stand and hold out my hand.

Levi looks at it for a moment before smiling faintly and allows me to hoist her up.

"Thank you," I say to her earnestly keeping my gaze strictly on her not wanting to cause a scene like I did last time.

"No – thank you," she says simply with a shrug, "if you were anyone else I would have been done within the first ten minutes of sparring."

I smile at her and then shake my head.

"So I won."

"So you did," she smiles at me, "I don't have to do anything god awful that I'll regret now will I?"

"No," I tell her simply, "uhm, how about we exchange numbers and you can tell me details on this date you had in mind?"

She stares at me and when my words sink in I am graced with a true smile as she pushes her bangs away from her sweat slick forehead. Which causes my eyes to down cast and –

"Holy shit," I blush heavily as I take notice of her body. She is practically shining under the light. Her toned stomach defined beautifully and I begin to feel awkward again as I look away and nearly jump when I notice how close Ymir, Jean, Eren – who is glaring at Jean – and Mikasa are – Annie was at least ten paces away from them looking bored.

"Sasha," Levi calls out drawing my attention away from them, "I'll be right back with my phone alright?"

"Okay," I say simply as she smiles at me and then turns to walk towards the double doors – possibly to the guest dressing rooms.

"Holy shit 'Tato," Ymir's voice cuts me from whatever thought was about to present itself as I look at her, "you lasted like almost an hour and a half with the champ and got her to yield!"

"We were only sparing," I say lamely as rub the back of my neck, "I'm going to need a shower."

"I think you're gonna need more than a shower," Jean chuckled as he looked at me, "lucky you're not a guy because I know you'd still have a boner with the way you were looking at her when she pinned you the first time."

I tense and luckily Eren saves me from my embarrassment.

"Oh come off of it Kristen that's my kid sister you're talking about," Eren yells as he glares at Jean.

"Really Jaeger," Jean drawls out, "because from where I'm standing everyone would think you're the kid brother!"

"Why you little – "

"Oi, take that shit somewhere else," Ymir warns as she glares at them before looking at me, "and Jean man is right for once you two were practically doing it on the mat each time you pinned one another."

I can feel the heat well into my ears as I look at them – I spare Mikasa a glance she looks almost hurt but then she looks at me and I look away – looking back at Ymir who studies my expression.

"Wanna crash here for the night?"

"Depends," I huff out masking my face with a teasing smile, "did you change the sheets?"

Ymir looks at me a long moment boring her dark eyes into me before cracking a grin.

"Christa made me clean up after you barged in – which I'm still not happy about."

"You can ride the bike for a day."

"Deal all is forgiven," Ymir smiles – like a dork as she from what I'm assuming is picturing herself driving my motorcycle around.

I smile at her and nearly jump when I feel a hand touch my arm I look over to see Levi looking at me with a smile still in place.

"Petra is done visiting her cousin and I have to catch a ride with them to get to our apartment so may I have you're number before leaving please?"

"S-sure," I stammer before gently taking her phone from her hand and being putting my information in her contact list and then hand the device back to its owner, "there you go all set text me when you can."

Without saying anything Levi stands on the tips of her toes and kisses my cheek gently pulling back slightly as she looks me in the eyes.

"Thank you and I'll leave you details about our date after I shower."

"Sounds fine to me," I grin at her – the odd feeling is back - as I step away from her and watch as she turns on her heels walking out of the training area with an extra sway in her step.

I look around after she is gone noticing that Ymir wandered off to supervise Jean and Eren. I sigh as they keep bickering at each other.

"Sometimes I think they like each other," the voice of Mikasa startles me – almost giving me a heart attack – as I nearly jump turning my head to look at her. Her gaze has yet to leave the two bickering teens so I take my own gaze away from her to look at them.

"I use to think that too," I confess, "but then I see the way Eren looks at Armin and the way Jean practically melts when he is with Marco so I don't any more," I smile as I look at her again ignoring my feelings, "I think if they would make great friends if they set aside their differences."

She finally looks away from them – now staring right at me and my heart speeds up instantly – thoughts of Levi and whatever feelings I may or may not have for her float away and I smile kindly.

"You think so," Mikasa began slowly as she shifts a little closer to me, "because I still think they like each other."

"Pretty positive," I chuckle, "besides it would be weird if they were with each other."

"Why do you say that," she asks giving me this odd kind of look.

"They're to similar in a sense," I began as I turn my head to look at Jean who has Eren in a head lock, "sure they have many differences but when it comes down to it they act a lot like each other and sure maybe that would be nice for a little while, but in the end they would grow tired and crave for something more."

"More?"

"Yeah," I hum out as I look at her, "sure it's nice to be with someone who likes the same things you do or acts similar to how you act, but I think the greatest joy in life is to be with someone who demands more out of you – like bringing out the better – and if you found that someone and they happened to be with someone else the honorable thing to do is let that person be happy despite how you feel – even if your emotions are overpowering at times."

It hits me then – the impact of my own words as I look down at the floor.

"Annie does make you happy right?"

"She – "

Before Mikasa utters a word Ymir is yelling her name and telling her to take Eren home – in a more colorful manner.

I sigh as she turns to look at me and nearly jump when she pulls me into a hug.

"Thank you for the chat," she says faintly before kissing my cheek – in the same spot Levi has already touched – and pulls away walking over to Eren.

I blink once – okay so maybe a few times as I stand there – I sense someone is watching me so I keep my face neutral even though I want to smile. I look around and then spot Annie looking at me – her gaze isn't so friendly so I – in a way to be a better person – smile slightly at her.

That only makes her glare more as she moves to be near Mikasa.

"Sasha," Ymir calls out drawing my attention for Annie, "Pops is about to close the gym so go call mommy dearest and tell her you're crashing here."

I nod my head sparing Mikasa a glance – who is looking at me, causing me to blush and look back at Ymir.

"Okay," I then make my way through the double doors to where I left my bag by Ymir's door.

Fumbling for a moment I retrieve my phone, sliding my finger across the screen and wince at how bright the light is set. When my eyes adjust to the lighting I stare dumbly at the screen.

2 New Messages.

I tap the screen and right away I notice that Mikasa has left me a message along with an unknown one that I'm pretty sure I have a good guess on so I click on it.

Hello Sasha I thought I would text you before I showered and thanked you. No one has ever intrigued me such as you have and if it isn't to much to ask I was wonder if you would like to grab some coffee with me soon? If not I'll understand.

Levi

I stare at the message a moment and I feel crossed. On one hand I feel excited – nervous really – and that I should say yes right away, but on the other I feel rather hesitant.

Wonder what Mikasa said.

I click back on Levi's message – tapping lightly on my screen – and then stare at Mikasa's words.

Sasha, I'll tell mother that you are spending the night with Ymir and I was wondering if you would like me to bring you anything?

- Mikasa

I bite my bottom lip slightly re-reading her message before smiling faintly.

Thank you, but no I have spare clothes here and an extra pillow. Will you or Eren be able to pick me up in the morning?

I hit send and then collect my bag walking into Ymir's room – and again I am surprised with how spotless it is.

"Chris made me clean," Ymir sighed causing me to turn and look at her, "after you rudely barged in so if I end up cuddling extra close to you tonight just know I'm not thinking about you I'm thinking about the possibilities of what could have happened before your poor timing."

"Put up a sign next time," I grunt out before smiling, "and I knew you found me attractive Freckles it's okay to cuddle with me you don't need any excuses."

"As if," Ymir laughed loudly making me pout, "oh come off it you – you're stunning and if I hadn't worked the nerves to win Christa I definitely would have lured you into my bed for..." she started to laugh again, "I'm sorry I mean I would but we'd only be friends with benefits because I prefer blondes."

I hit her arm then pouting.

"Whatever you say jerk you're not exactly my type either," I point out as I walk over to her bed dropping down on it with my phone on my stomach.

"Right," she drawls on plopping down beside me, "I've noticed that so tell me what's with you and the mini champion?"

"I'm not sure," I sigh, "I mean I met her like two weeks ago almost and she's been nice each time we've talked so I guess I may have a slight crush on her," I wince though, "but it could be me trying to force my feelings to change for Mikasa because Levi reminds me of her."

"Oh," Ymir said awkwardly before shaking her head, "have you told Mikasa how you felt at all?"

"No," I grumble out nearly jumping as I felt my phone vibrate on my stomach. I pick it up ignoring the look Ymir is giving me.

I will be spending the night with Annie, but Eren said he will be able to. We love you Sasha and I hope you have sweet dreams.

- Mikasa

I swallow thickly as I read her message. I should have figured as much.

We love you.

Okay...have fun and I love you guys, too!

I sigh slightly before reopening Levi's message.

"What's wrong," Ymir asks me cautiously, "nothing to serious right?"

"No," I'm not sure if I sound convincing, but I'm to engrossed in my typing to care.

Sure I'd like that...how about Monday say around two o'clock if you're free?

My mind is racing then with a series of questions.

Mikasa is dating Annie – do I like that? No.

Does that change my feelings for Mikasa any? No.

Will I try to break them up? No.

So what's the harm in getting to know Levi? None.

Maybe and I'm only going with maybe because I'm not entirely certain about this. A small part of me hopes my feelings will change and that I will grow to like Levi if this become more than just getting to know each other, but a greater more dominate part is scared.

What if nothing changes at all or what if everything changes completely.

All the while I push aside my thoughts and focus on the now.

Ymir mumbles something and ends up whacking me in the head with a pillow. Yelling at me to go take a shower and then asks what I want to eat.

I let out a laugh as I place my phone on her nightstand. No longer thinking of the heavy as happier thoughts embrace me.

Nothing could change that quickly.

Right?

Author's notes: And thus we end chapter five ~

I have so much planned for you guys that I'm not quite sure you'll be ready – sinister music in the background – aha well I hope your feelings don't bruise as easily as mine because yes.

Anyways our little sad Potato has ill timing because walking in on two different couples! The nerve of her right? Haha, anyways some characters are genderbent and I have yet to introduce Erwin, Hanji, and the whole other lot so yes.

I actually want to point out Sasha has a connection to her creeper teacher – le gasp – so yes. This may be more then twenty chapters though, or may not depends if I can deliver things properly.

Review appreciation time!

Sonic2196: My work load is at little high, which is my own fault, so I am going to update these chapters for this story every other week. I'm sorry! I'll try and produce more chapters soon because I want to finish this story first. Thank you for the review! I hope this one was done just fine to you.

RyuravenFox: The lie is a particle truth I'm afraid, but it won't be stomp out the Mikasasha flame!

RED TIGER SKUNK: Things with Ymir and Sasha will be covered. Given their history I doubt anything can rip their friendship apart and I'm sure Ymir will be a voice of reason which is a shocker I know. Thank you for cheering Sasha on!

Anak7: Your English seems just fine to me! I'm a native speaker and I have major trouble with it when I type, but I am glad and grateful to know that you enjoy this story. :D

JonWithAnH: I believe she suspects if my hinting was correct this chapter, but I'm not gonna let our babies come together just yet because I'm totally excited for jealous Mikasa and how she'll react with Levi pursuing Sasha. - evil laughter and then awkward hint of choking -

Rosiema: There will be more Mikasasha interaction just not yet. I have at least two more chapters with light interaction before they start to interact more. But I'm glad you enjoy it. :D

Assassin718: But you're waiting with be reward because their sex will be steamy – STEAMY I TELL YOU, hahaha, I hope to give you just that but not yet so I settled for Sasha walking in on people and overhearing them in the act. Because I'm evil – sometimes.

Chaosrin: I just want to say that I love you. Everything will come into light and you've pointed things out to me that I haven't really thought about. I'll try to go over and cover things as we go along and I hope you think that I've done so properly. In the mean time I hope you enjoy yourself and that our babies will be together eventually because we're still to earlier in the chapters.

Veni: I love the bond Ymir and Sasha have and they are quite something when I type the dialogue out between the two of them so making them make up was the best thing like ever! Haha, thank you my silent reading friend please leave inpute whenever you can and I hope you enjoyed this chapter.

Rosiema: Oh they will – in the meantime Levi and Sasha sparring was a thing. O:

Xyzsa: Thank you! I hope you continue to think so ~ :'D

CanaanAlphardForever: Mate you have finally dived into this complicated mess I've made! And reviewed each chapter that I have out T~T I love you, maaaaann! Anyways this is the first time I've tried my hand in First Person and I was originally going to do this in Mikasa's view point but said fuck it because no one has really given Sasha all these layers before and I wanted to paint her in a new light so yes. I threw Mikanni in there because people often push Mikasa with Annie and well it happened – do I like this? Nope, but I'm a minority in a small ship so I can't complain entirely.

As for past and present tense I usually do that because Sasha is narrating, in a sense, so lines do often blur. I'll try to keep a better grip on it and hopefully by chapter ten I can go over these other chapters and edit them to go over my mistakes – yes I know people make them but I still want it to be easier and clear for the readers so thank you.

As for Ymir liking fem!Armin well I saw the opportunity and I took it. Because our Freckled idiot does have a weakness for short blondes.

The angsty feels will be here until they will be like WHAT THE FUCK feels because jealous Mikasa and Sasha making a lot of ill planned choices and just auuuuugh you'll probably pull your hair out before going FINALLY when they do end up together. So yeah c:

I'm glad you have enjoyed yourself and maybe you will post more for Mikasasha, because there are few in the world and yeah but for now thank you CAF – hahaha :'D – your reviews meant a lot to me! :}

Anyways thank you for the views, reviews, follows and favorites they are my lifeblood and keep me and this story alive!

You all know by now that I do not own SnK but this universe stems off my mind so yeah I own that :}

Love always Cap'n Lynn.

P.s I know people make mistakes and I know I make them quite often, but I still like to apologies I'll fix them eventually I promise!
