Review~

The following morning the sun felt lighter, clouds seem less drafty. Birds chirping happily and everyone was pretty much enjoying the day. Well, almost everyone. Annie wasn't in the mood to do any training. She hardly slept last night. She couldn't stop thinking about the kiss as she lied on her bed. All night she tossed and turned she gave up sleeping. So Annie went out for a jog to help her sleep better. It turns out she spent the whole night running away from the truth.

Yawning loudly, Annie decided to sneak off the training ground to get some rest. She looked around making sure no one was paying attention to her. She pretended to look for something and Annie found her secret hiding place she often went whenever she felt like it.

Bertholdt saw Annie heading towards the gate, now was his chance to confess. He began to jog to catch up with Annie. He pulled the gate and crawled underneath it. He went inside the forest to search for Annie. There was no sight of her. He looked around the area searching for clues to help pinpoint her location. He saw fresh trail of footprints on the mud. He followed the path that will lead him to Annie. He finally came to a stop and he scanned around.

There she was, sleeping peacefully on the tree. She look so innocent .Bertholdt moved her loose hair across her face and place it behind her ear. He still had feelings for Annie for a while now. He wanted to declare his love. But he was too shy and awkward whenever he was around her. He eyed her lip. He wanted to kiss her. Hold her and be with her. He missed her numerous times.

Bertholdt leaned in forward not stopping himself. He was one inch away from touching her lip with his. But someone place their hand on his shoulder. Bertholdt jumped up and quickly moved away from Annie. He turned around hoping it was his best friend Reiner but he was wrong.

Eren stood there, his eyes blazing with anger. Eren was known for his title the suicide bastard. Also, many were aware that he was hot-headed. Bertholdt coward back from Erens glare. Eren grabbed Bertholdt by the collar and he yank him far from Annie not wanting to disturb her sleep. Bertholdt silently went along with him.

They stopped walking when they left the forest. Eren kicked Bertholdt on the stomach. He slump down on his knees, he gasped out loud his breath cut off shortly.

"What the fuck?! Eren!" He gasped angrily.

"What the hell? Were you gonna do to Annie?!" Eren snared.

"It was a joke! Damn! I was gonna wake her up! Calm down Jager!" Bertholdt said defensively.

Eren still pissed, clutch Bertholdt and lead him out to the training ground. He wanted to settle this. Eren won't allow anyone touch his woman. No way in hell was he gonna give Annie up.

"Let's verify this, man vs. man!"

"What!? Eren, you lost it!" Bertholdt said agitated.

"Tch! Me? Lost it? You were about to kiss Annie!"

"Shut up! Why do you care!? It's not like she's your girlfriend!"

Eren didn't know what to say. If he told Bertholdt they were going out, Annie would be furious about it. So he took a deep breath and tried not to let it irk him.

"Heh, she's not even dating you." Eren respond smirking with confidence.

"Why, you bastard!" Bertholdt pissed off, moved rapidly towards Eren. He raised his left hand ready to swing at him. Eren all fired up, bolted forward. He brought his right hand up. Both fist connected their face on the mouth. They both flew on their back and rolled on the ground. Blood were gushing from the cuts they each created. They tried to get up but they can still feel the power of their fist that collided.

Connie and Sasha both saw the whole event, they dropped what they were during and they dashed to Eren and Bertholdt. Eren cuts burned from the breezed, he still felt the unpleasantness.

"Yo, Eren you knocked Bertholdt out cold!" Connie said worriedly and proudly.

Eren had to stiffen his laugh. He gave Connie thumbs up. Sasha helped Eren up but he wobbled and he went out like a light.

Back at the forest, Annie was still asleep. Reiner approached her, he shook her lightly. When she slowly opened her eyes, she saw Reiner a bit too close to her and Annie punched him directly in the nose.

"Gahh! Annie! What was that for?!" He said confused as he grabbed his nose.

"You were too close. "She said coldly. She rise up and brushed herself.

"Heh, I just wanted a kiss."

"…You're an idiot."

"Don't act dumb I saw what you and Jager did!" Reiner said teasingly.

"What are you talking about?" Annie tried to avoid the subject by acting as if she wasn't interested at all.

"Last night, you guys were smooching each other plus I have proof too."

Annie stood there frozen. But how? Clearly she and Eren were alone she would have noticed it if they weren't. Maybe he wanted to get under her skin? She pushed him out of her way. Reiner gripped her arm not letting her go so easily. Annie jerked her arm from his clench.

"You know what your priority is? Right, Annie?" Reiner said humorless, all jokes were put aside.

Annie looked at Reiner and she replied coldly "Of course, I do I'm no idiot."

"I know, don't let your feelings get in the way, we are on a mission seeking for the titan shifter."

"Tch, quit stalking me pervert, I know what I'm supposed to do."

Reiner smiled sadly "Good and I'm no perv, I was only spying on you, and making sure you were on the job. It's sad that Bertholdt doesn't know about you guys."

Annie didn't want to hear any more of it. She left Reiner without replying back and return to the training ground. She hated this cruel world. All she wanted was to revert back to where she belongs. But things were getting complicated for her. Annie didn't notice when Armin walked up to her. He had to tap her on the shoulder three times to get her attention. She nodded her head allowing him to speak.

"It's Eren, he said he wanted to um speak to you." Armin said nervously.

Annie wonders what Eren wanted this time. She still didn't want to face him. Even now she couldn't comprehend her feelings. Annie ignored Armin and she left to go somewhere to think private.

Tbc…End of chapter 2.

Umm, this chapter was a bit intense or I don't know! I added a twist so the story can progress. :x I know there wasn't any moment for Eren and Annie but I did hinted it.

This chapter basically focused mostly on Annie and how she was feeling at the moment.

Next chapter there will certainly be plenty of moment for those two. c;

Thanks for supporting me and I will continue to update every now and then hopefully not for 2-3 months. But who knows :o lol Each chapter will get better.

Review, follow, favorite and read~
