Grim ♊︎ Attack on Titan

The First Meeting

Erwin Smith is sitting in class half listening to his father give another lecture about proper grammar and sentence structure. Erwin usually is an excellent student, he had to be by default thanks to his own father giving him private lessons. But today just like everyday his attention wonders to a young girl sitting across the room.

She only just transferred to their district not that long ago, when she first entered the room Erwin was completely smitten. She was nothing like the rest of the girls and women in their little village. A few things stuck out to him that capture his young heart, her silver hair which seem to glow in the sunlight like the sliver dishes only Kings and Nobles have access to, clipping her bangs back were hair clips that he never seen her without. Her eyes was another thing, they were very strange in color. Lime Green surrounding her pupil while a darker green fill in the middle. 

Never before has he or anyone for that matter seen eyes like hers before, it was almost inhuman. The final thing that stuck out was the scars on her face and neck, around her neck it seem as if someone tried to cut her head smooth off, it wraps almost all around stopping just centimeters  away from connecting. The scar on her face, was diagonal starting from the right of her hairline down to her neck connecting the scars missing her lips completely. Even with the scars it didn't take away from her beauty even as a child.

Erwin was very curious about what happen to her and where she came from. He would just sit with his pencil in his hand while resting his cheek on said hand. Most of the time he didn't even realize he was watching her, she just attracted him like a bee to honey. Someone cleared their throat causing Erwin to snap out his stupa, he turn his head seeing his father giving him a knowing and teasing look before continuing with the lecture.

Erwin face turn red at being caught, 'Great. Now he's going to tease me all day.' He thought. His eyes slowly cut towards Grim seeing her staring right back at him. He reverted his attention back to the black board as his father was writing before slowly once again staring back at Grim shyly seeing if she was still watching, and she was.

Grim smile back at him waving, Erwin face once again felt warm at the gesture. He didn't know how to react, he never liked someone before so all the emotions he was feeling was foreign and new. He shyly smile back waving, Grim went back to paying attention to his father lecture. Erwin quietly sigh like a boy in love resting his head back on his hand with his pencil trap in between his fingers staring at Grim completely ignoring everything his father was saying with a silly smile on his face.

Class was over for the day and everyone scattered going their separate ways home, Erwin adjusted his backpack as Grim made her way towards him to leave. Erwin pause as she pass, he can smell the most enticing scent he ever smelt. Subconsciously he inhaled her scent as she passed by, "What you doing son?" His Father asked.

Erwin jump eyeing his father who had a sly smile on his face, "Nothing." Erwin mumbles looking off to the side than focusing on Grim just as she walk out the door. A frown cast on his face, he was hoping to talk with her but like a coward he froze. He felt his father hand on his shoulder laughing softly at his son obvious first crush on the mysterious girl, "I think you may have got tongue tied by a pretty young lady." His Father jest pushing his son out the door so he can lock up.

Erwin made a dramatic sigh at his father teasing, "I don't like her father" He told him just as the two walk towards their home. Erwin frown deepen as his father let out an embarrassing loud laugh, Erwin look around seeing everyone eyeing his father with wide eyes some with frowns. "Father! Its not that funny!" Erwin scold his still laughing dad. Erwin Father put his hand on his son head, "Of course not." Was all he said.

Erwin sigh walking beside his father, they made a quick detour to gather food for the night when a conversation caught the duo attention.

"Hey check it out! It's the weird girl from the Underground." A Girl by the name of Kate sneers. Erwin blink seeing Grim surrounded by three older children from their school, "Oh dear. What's happening here?" His Father mumbles.
