Ok nuff said'! enjoy this chapter. ~

Eren woke up from his slumber when his body shivered from the cold. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. He looked around he forgotten for a moment he wasn't in his room but in the infirmary.

Still feeling exhausted, Eren lay back down his hands searching on the bed. He felt the warmth on his side. Annie… He thought to himself when he realized she was not there by his side. He sighed feeling sad. He rolled over where Annie had slept last night. He can smell the sweetness of the scent that Annie had left behind. It brought him comfort.

Eren closed his eyes, he was about to fall asleep when he felt something poke him on the head. He sat up and move the pillow aside. There he saw a note and he picked it up. He opened the note and read it. He smiled at the note that Annie left for him. He knew Annie didn't like expressing her feelings much but he wanted to know more about her.

Eren stood up no longer feeling tired and he went to get dressed. He closed the note and carefully placed the note on his back pocket, keeping it secured. Today, he wanted to see Annie and surprised her. Lost in his thoughts, thinking of how he should plan it well.

Armin burst in through the door. Alarmed, Eren quickly hopped on his bed.

"Eren!"

"Armin? What happened?" He asked dumbly.

"It's Mikasa she won't come out of her room." Armin said breathlessly.

"Eh? Why not?"

"I don't know! Eren! C'mon!"

"I haven't been checked out."

"Fine! I'll go get the nurse or the doctor." Armin said as he ran out the room. Eren stood there dumbly. What the hell is going on? He thought confusingly.

Armin was searching for the nearest doctor. He saw the same doctor from yesterday who check Bertholdt out. He ran to catch up with him.

"Doc-huff-tor!" He said breathing hard.

"Yes? What can I do for you?"

"Can you check my friend Eren? He should feel better by now."

"Sure. Lead the way."

They walked in silence to Erens' room. Armin opened the door for the doctor to come in. He followed behind. The doctor checked Eren heartbeat, ear, nose and mouth. He wrote down some on what he had checked. He handles the clipboard to Eren.

"Here, sign this and you can go Jager."

Eren nodded and signed the papers. He gave it back when he was done filling it out.

Eren and Armin quickly left the room. They began to run to Mikasa room. There they saw Sasha by the door eating a potato? They slowed down and walked toward her room.

Sasha approached to them. She looked confused.

"Hey, what are you guys doing here? You know this is the girls' dorm?" She said puzzled.

"Yeah, we know. Mikasa wouldn't open the door earlier I wanted to check how she was doing." Armin explained to what happened last night leaving out some of the details.

"She looked okay when she left the room."

"Did she say anything to you before she left?"

"Ummmm, hmmmm oh yeah! She said something 'bout Annie. I couldn't understand what she was mumble 'bout."

"Aw fuck!" Eren said angrily. He left the dorm, he had to stop Mikasa. He didn't want any of them hurt. He quickly speeds up leaving Armin and Sasha behind.

"Huh? Did I say something wrong?" Sasha asked confused when she watched Eren running off.

"Er, don't worry about it. Just come along I might need your help." Armin said. He had a bad feeling about this. He hoped Eren can find either of them before a fight broke out. He grabbed Sasha arm and they went to search for Mikasa.

Meanwhile, everyone was watching Mikasa rounding up on Annie. This is what they all been waiting for. The most epic moment of their life. They started to circle around them causing a huge uproar. They began to make a bet on who will win this fight.

The trainees started to chat loudly "Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Jean tried to step in but Mikasa glared at him and he back away. He didn't know what to do. Dammit fucking Jager where the fuck are you?! He thought angrily. He looked around seeking for Marco or anyone that knew them. He pushed his way through the crowd. There was a huge circle and it kept on getting bigger, he ran looking for help.

**Earlier**

Annie was walking to her dorm when she noticed that someone followed her. She stopped walking and she turned around. She caught the glimpse of the shadow. She knew who it was.

"Show yourself." She said annoyed.

Mikasa walked out from her hiding place and revealed herself.

"What do you want?" She said not really interested at all.

"Fight me, Leonhardt." Mikasa replied coldly.

"Tch, really? Another time."

"Lets go! I've been wanting to fight you for a while now."

"Whatever." She rolled her eyes and she took a stance.

***Ends***

Annie stood there looking amused at Mikasa. She knew how to tick off her opponent. She waited until Mikasa made the first move. Mikasa moved in quickly ready to punch her but Annie dodges her attack.

Annie brought her foot and kick Mikasa on the back but Mikasa grabbed her foot when saw the attack from the corner of her eyes. She pulled her face to face; she lifted her elbow ready to pound her.

But Annie was too fast and she used one of her techniques. Annie slipped from Mikasa grasped and she went around her, she moved her arms and gripped Mikasa on her waist. She lifted her up, Mikasa started to punch her on the shoulder. Annie felt the pain but she ignored it and continued what she was doing. She slams her on the ground.

Mikasa cried in pain when Annie slammed her on her back the ground. She got up and took a stance. She had to calm down and not let her anger interfere or she'll lose to Annie. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Is that all you got, Leonhardt!" Mikasa said trying to taunt her.

"Tch, I wasn't the one lying on the ground" She smirked.

"You BITCH!"

"C'mon I thought you were a beast, Ackerman!"

"I won't lose to you!"

"Yeah Whatever!"

"Shut it! I won't let you take Eren away from me!"

"What?"

Annie shocked at what Mikasa said, let her guard down. How did she know? She thought to herself. Mikasa saw this opportunity and she took her chance. She brought her fist and punched her in the stomach. Annie gasped when the air left from her lungs and she fell to her knees. It was a huge mistake and she couldn't let her guard down. Mikasa wasn't done; she punched her on the mouth. She was about to hit her again when she felt herself falling to the ground. Annie had pulled her legs.

They stood up, they were all firing up now. Adrenalines were flowing through their body, instincts taking over. Annie had two hits and so has Mikasa. It was a stalemate.

Annie spit the blood from her mouth. She can taste the bitterness inside her mouth.

They went into a stance and they were about to take off when someone had finally stepped in. Eren and Reiner stood there in front of them. Mikasa stood there watching Eren closely. He placed his hands on her shoulder and all her anger left from her body.

Reiner grabbed Annie while she slashed out. He tightens around her harder not letting her go.

"Let me go! Reiner!" She yelled in despair.

"Calm down!" He said.

"Let me finish kicking that bitch ass!"

"No!"

The circle soon disappeared when they saw Eren and Reiner stepped in. Some stayed waiting to see what will happen. Others left in fear of getting caught from their superiors. They went back to what they were doing before the fight had started.

Bertholdt arrived shortly when most of the people left. He ran to Reiner aiding him. Reiner loosely his gripped when he saw Bertholdt appeared. Annie had finally calmed down. She pushed him away not wanting to be touch by him. She glared at him angrily and he brought his hands up he pointed at Bertholdt.

Bertholdt frowned at him and he walked closely to Annie. She turned around looking down her hair covering her face. He stared at her and grabbed her hand he took her somewhere far from here.

Reiner turned around shaking his head. Now's your chance, buddy he thought to himself as he watched them walked away to somewhere private. He turned around and he walk toward Eren and Mikasa when he stopped in his tracked. He stared at Eren hard he was shaking and he looked very angry.

"Eren, are you okay?" He asked concerned for his friend.

"Yeah yeah I am, thanks for asking." He lied as he shooked in anger. Eren didn't like how Bertholdt was holding Annie hands. He was a few seconds away from snapping and going after them. But he had to stay by Mikasa side. She needed him and he knew it well enough to do that.

"Well okay if you need me I'll be in my room. I'm gonna leave you guys alone." He said walking away.

"Mikasa are you okay?" Eren asked softly.

"Yeah I feel better now."

"Cut the crap, what's bothering you?"

"Eren I-I I'm so sorry…" She broke down crying.

Eren was taken back from Mikasa from crying. It has been awhile since he seen her cry. He hugged her and she hugged back tightly.

"Shhh, let it all out I'm here for you." He patted her head and shushed her quietly. Mikasa cried her heart out when he said those words to her.

"I'm so-sorry for causing you this commotion." She said weeping.

"It isn't your fault, Mikasa. It was my fault, I wasn't there for you when you needed me. I wasn't being fair. I ignored you. I wasn't being a good friend nor was I being a great brother to you. I should have known better. I'm sorry I hurt you. It's my fault after all…" Eren said quietly.

Mikasa stopped crying and she removed herself from him. She smiled joyously and she gripped the scarf Eren had long ago given her.

"Eren, it isn't your fault it isn't mine either now that I realized it isn't no one. Lets stand up now." They stood up and they once again hugged.

Armin saw them hugging. Relief spread through his body. He ran up to them and he hugged them behind. They stopped hugging and smiled at each other.

"We're a family now. The three of us are what's left. We may not be blood-related but we have each other. We'll protect one another, we have are each other's back. We will stick to each other side, won't we?" Eren said happily. They all nodded in an agreement. This time their bond strengthen nothing can break through it. They all hugged one another.

"Lets go eat some food, I'm staved since this morning." Armin said touching his belly. They laugh and together they left to the dining hall.

Eren looked back and he didn't see Annie. He hope Bertholdt didn't try to do anything funny with her. They are alone, anything can happen. Fuck! He scowled at his thoughts. But he couldn't leave Mikasa and Armin not after he just stated that they are family and they should stick to their side. Things were becoming complicated and it had only started.

At the same time, Bertholdt took Annie to the back of the forest where he usually goes when he wants to be by himself. They walk together silently. They stopped for a bit and rested.

Bertholdt removed his backpack and he zipped it open. He took out a small survival kit and opened it. He took out a bandage and a handkerchief. He went through his bag and pulled out a bottle of water. He folded the handkerchief and soaked it with the water.

Bertholdt offered Annie a bottle. But she smacked it away from his hand. She scowled at him.

"What do you want?" She said coldly.

"Let me clean up your wounds and then I'll tell you."

"I don't need it, I can take care of myself." She folded her arms in front of her chest.

"Annie, quit being stubborn I want to help you."

"I told you I don't need you." She said sharply. She was about to walk away when Bertholdt stopped her.

"Get out of my way, you fool."

"Annie! Please I just want to help you." He pleaded.

"I'm warning you."

"No."

Annie slapped him across the face and then she started to punch him letting her anger and frustration out on him violently. After 15 minutes passed, she grew tired and she gave up.

"Feel better now? Ouch, that really hurts, you sure can pack a punched." He smiled complimenting her.

"Shut up, I'm leaving now." She pushed him aside but Bertholdt caught her arm and he turned her around facing him.

Annie brought her other arm and she was about to hit the spot where she usually put them to sleep but Bertholdt caught the other hand quickly. He stared at her and he crashed his lip to hers. Annie tried to push him away but he was stronger than her. He continued to kiss her and she finally gave in. She kissed him back.

Bertholdt pulled back breathing hard. He blushed furiously he had missed her and the days they spent together from the past. He let her go and picked up the handkerchief he dropped earlier. He placed it on her lip wiping the cut she had received earlier from the fight.

Annie felt her cheeks still hot from the kiss. She allowed Berthold to patch her up or he wouldn't stop bothering her. He finished his job and she looked at him in the eye. He leaned down to her height and she began to kiss him with some feelings. Few seconds passed and she pulled away. She couldn't do this to Eren. It would break his heart. She didn't want to regret it later on. She decided to stop before things got out of hand. She pushed him away and she took a step back from him. She started to walk.

"I have to go."

"Eh? Wait, why so soon we have all day." Bertholdt said confused.

"..It doesn't feel right."

"I want to make it right." He said softly.

She paused and shook her head. Not knowing what to say. So she told him something that would break his and her heart.

"You can't, I'm with someone."

"….." He didn't say anything at all. He stood there trying to figure out if she was playing him or not. But knowing that she wasn't the type of girl who likes to kid around. She was far from it. He wonder who is dating her. He wasn't going to give up that easy.

Annie left without saying goodbye. She left the forest and went back to her dorm. She didn't feel like seeing anyone. She didn't want to face Eren. If she told him what happen between them she knew he'll be angry and he would try to fight Bertholdt. She decided to keep it to herself. She finally arrive to her room and she closed the door behind her. She slumped against the door. Not feeling well, she didn't want to think about choosing who was right for her so she fell asleep in the dark corner by herself.
