When You First Meet
A/N: I was inspired by the story 'Forever Young' by Is Marcus An Instrument on Quotev and wanted to write something in my own words regarding the oh-so delicious bachelors from Attack On Titan. I highly recommend the story I have mentioned as it is focused on the characters from FullMetal Alchemist.
Disclaimer: Attack on Titan does not belong to me, I only own the nameless OC and the mini stories for each scenario. The cover image does not belong to me as I found it via Google Images.

JEAN
During the first day of training, you watched as Jean had his forehead smashed in by the Commander, as well as how he was able to balance near-perfectly on the ODM aptitude test. That night, you walked up to him and asked if he could help with your balance.
"Sure, no problem! It's all about the sixth sense!"
"Sixth sense? Got it! Oh, I'm (name) by the way."
"I'm Jean Kirschtein."
Glancing at his forehead, you could see a red protruding bump.
"Ouch, I'm sorry about your head."
"Shit…you saw that?"

MARCO
Night of initiation, you'd left the Mess Hall to walk around the grounds before the bell tolled, signaling curfew. Eyes fixated on the stars, you became oblivious to the final step your foot completely missed.
"Woah! Careful there!"
His hands pulled you body into his. Balance secured on both feet, you pulled away, glancing top to see adorable freckles painted across the man's cheek.
"Goodness, thank you! I trip over air, so it's not surprising I almost fell."
"I'm very glad you didn't. You're…(name), right?"
"That's me! And you're Marco? I think it's very respectable you wanna join the MP's to protect the King."
"Really? Well thank you!"
~ oOo ~
LEVI
"Oi! The hell do you think you're doing?"
Struggling to ear in the Underground City, you had been abandoned by your parents at a young age. Still technically a child, you were on the verge of passing out when you notice a boy around your age with black hair.
"Hey girl! What're you staring at?"
You pointed at his meal.
"You have food."
Standing, he tore half of his sandwich and placed it into your hand, then walked away.
"W-Wait! Thank you, um…"
"The name's Levi. Maybe I'll see you around, brat."
"Hey! My names (name)! …are you even listening to me?!"
~ oOo ~
EREN
"I'll kill all the titans! I swear it!"
Sniffling over in the corner, you looked over at the boy screaming. He seemed to be about your age, sitting with a girl with long black hair and another boy with blonde Rubbing your eyes, ou sniffed more.
"Hey, everything will be ok!"
Turning, you saw the brown-haired boy glance over at you, hand stuck out for you to take. Shaking your head, you curled more into yourself, scared of everything you saw. When you didn't say anything, he sat next to you as the other two people he was with walked over.
"I'm Eren."
"I'm (name)."
"(Name), huh? Are you scared of the titans?"
You nodded your head, knowing you were now all alone in this world.
"Don't worry (Name), I'll protect you."
~ oOo ~
CONNIE
"Hey man! What the hell did you wipe on my clothes?!"
Walking past the two males, you noticed the male known as Jean wipe something onto the bald male's back. You patted down his back while laughing.
"There's nothing on your back Connie, don't worry."
"Ah thank you. Say, your (name), right?"
"Yep, that's me."
"You're the one who helped me out earlier with the salute! Hey, thanks for that."
"Oh it's no problem! Well, have a good night!"
"You too!"
~ oOo ~
ARMIN
"Excuse me…are you alright?"
Seeing the boy with blonde hair clutching a straw hat drew you to him.
"N-No, but I'll be ok."
You slid down the wall beside him.
"It's ok, I'm not alright either."
Glancing up at you, the boy cleared his face.
"Did someone in your family…were they forced to go past the walls too?"
"My…my brother."
"All I have left of my grandpa is this hat. He was forced to go too."
"Will we…will we ever see them again?"
"Unfortunately…I don't think so."
"Um…I'm (name), if-if you ever want to talk again."
You stood up to leave, only stopping when your hand was grabbed.
I'm Armin, and…I'd like that."
~ oOo ~
REINER
Having moved into a large house, your new home was closer to the city, meaning more kids to meet. One day, you were playing outside when a voice from next door entered your ears.
"Hey - Hey you!"
"Hey you!"
You yelled back, stepping closer to the boy your age.
I'm Reiner! You're our new neighbors, right?:
"Yeah, we just moved in. My dad got a new job working for the government. My name's (name)."
"(Name), huh? That's pretty."
"Hehe, thanks! Hey, wanna play fetch with me?"
"Sure!"
~ oOo ~
BERTHOLDT
Today was the day to determine who would become the next Colossal Titan. You had been pushed by your family to test for the position, though secretly, you didn't want it, not did you care. Lost in thought, you didn't see the person's back who you just ran into.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!"
The person - male - was really tall for his age.
"I-It's ok."
His voice was quiet and muffled.
"Are you by chance taking the test to be chosen today?"
"Yeah, but I think I-I'm lost."
"I'll take you there! I'm taking the test as well!"
"Oh, you-you don't have to…"
"It's ok, we're going in the same direction! My name's (name)."
"…I'm Bertholdt."
~ oOo ~
ERWIN
"To all the new members, I salute you!"
"Sir!"
All the new inductees into the Scout Regiment mingled together. You were by yourself as all your friends from the Cadet Corp joined either the Military Police or the Garrisons.
"Excuse me, Ms. (Name)?"
Turned around, you noticed the Commander, Erwin Smith, was now behind you, having moved from the stage to your position in the front row of the inductees.
"Yes Commander?"
"Please, call me Erwin. I would like to speak with you tomorrow when we reach Headquarters. Can I expect you after breakfast?"
"Oh! O-Of course, sir! May I ask what this is in regards to?"
"Well, I have a proposition for you, as you were the top of your class."
"Sure, I will be there no problem. Thanks Comma…I mean, Erwin."
"Of course, and…congratulations, (name)."
