Hello again everyone. The only warnings I have are just a little smut towards the end, and mild/suggestive language. That's all. Enjoy!

"What about this one?" Annie asks as she steps out of the fitting room.

"I think it looks beautiful! The copper tones really compliment your eye color!" You reply.

"You really think so? It feels great, I'll tell them to hold it for a couple of hours until we look through everything." She says.

"That's a good idea. So when is Mikasa gonna get here?" You ask.

"She's actually here already, but she needed to make a quick stop somewhere else in the mall and pick something up first. Oh! There she is!" She exclaims.

Annie waved her hand up to get the dark-haired woman's attention. She strutted over with an unamused expression across her face. After introducing you two, Annie went over to ask the salesperson to hold the dress for her that she had tried on, leaving you two alone. Yay.

"He talks about you a lot you know. Eren." she mutters.

"Really? I mean... we talk a lot, and hang out sometimes but we're just friends." You find yourself flustered while trying to reply to her curt statement, and you just can't figure out why.

"You don't have to explain yourself, honestly. Our relationship is... complicated to say the least. It's always on and off with us. I'm pretty sure he likes you though from what I've heard." Her tone warms up as she speaks more to you.

"Annie said the same thing. I'm actually seeing someone right now, so I'm not sure how I feel about that." You awkwardly chuckle.

Eren? Really? You think to yourself. You don't want to unpack what Eren may or may not feel for you, especially right now. He knows how you feel about Erwin now, so maybe that's why he hasn't acted on any of those potential feelings. You brush those thoughts to the side as you continue to converse with Mikasa, making sure to get to know her a little bit more. You are pleasantly surprised at how much she warmed up to you so quickly.

"Okay, you guys ready to try another store?" Annie says when she returns.

You all are on your fourth or fifth dress shop by now, and Mikasa is the only one out of the three of you who has chosen a dress. She decided to go with a sleek spaghetti-strap satin black gown with few details, but she has a nice figure so it looked amazing on her. Annie pretty much has her choices narrowed down to three options.

"I think the first one looked the best, Annie." You say.

"I think you're right! I'll get that one!" She replies as she plops down in her chair.

"You haven't picked out your dress yet! You've only tried on like two of them." Annie adds.

"I know, I've seen a few that I like, but none have just spoken to me yet." You say.

"Well do you guys want to run down to the food court before we finish shopping?"

You and Mikasa both nod yes to Annie's question before heading down the escalator to the food court. Before turning the corner, you noticed a tiny boutique in the far corner that you haven't seen before. An array of stunning dresses can be seen throughout the small shop, and you have to check it out. You tell Mikasa and Annie that you would catch up with them in a bit, and you dash into the store.

Someone with a messy ponytail and an eyepatch pops up from behind the counter.

"Welcome to H.Z. designs! I'm Hange! How can I help you today?"
