I looked down at her lying in the grass, and fell on my knees, into her blood that covered the grass like dew. I checked her pulse frantically.

...nothing.

"Hey, Armin!" (Y/N) shouted, running up to him.

"H-hey..." He waved shyly.

Armin had been her best friend for what seemed like forever. When they were younger, she remembered walking home from school to see a couple of kids overpowering him. The power struggle aggravated her greatly because those bastards had the audacity to pummel someone into the ground for being "beneath" them.

"What the fyck do you think you're doing?" The bullies immediately turned to face her.

"We're teaching this kid," the leader's words dripped with venom as he spit in Armin's face, "not to mess around in our part of town. You wanna join in sweetheart?" (Y/N)'s face crinkled in disgust before she slowly approached that disgusting excuse for a person and clocked him right in the nose. His bones crunched upon impact as he stumbled back. 

"You bitch!" After regaining his footing, he charged at her. She summarily dodged his punch, but his leg darted from underneath him, knocking her square onto her back. He straddled her pelvis while his tongue slowly licked his lips. The guard he put up swiftly crumbled. 

She smiled sarcastically, taking the opportunity to punch him in the jaw. The boy tumbled off of her and wailed into the near-empty alley . She smiled in triumph. Not really sure what to do, the other boys shuffled around, but one menacing glare from her had them running off like hell. One boy timidly walked toward her to scoop up his mate before joining the rest of his crew.

"Are you alright... Armin?"

"Ye-Yeah." He said avoiding her gaze. "Thank... you."

"What are you reading this time?" (Y/N) curiously gazed at him.

"Mirrors," his eyes lit in delight once he began to animatedly speak about the book, "where the  female protagonist learns her potential whilst defeating obstacles the antagonist throws her way."

"I'll have to read it once you're finished, so don't spoil it! ...Anyway, our superiors have called all cadets to a meeting." Armin nodded his head, and reluctantly shut his book.

"Listen up!" A voice boomed. "As you know, there are rumors of a female titan. Well, we have decided to go out on an expedition to check it out, so get some training in and some rest. We have a long day tomorrow, and you better be ready. Dismissed!" Everyone got up, saluted, and walked out.

     Armin and (Y/N) walked out to the training grounds and positioned their bodies in defensive stances. She inched toward him in jittered motions. His nails bit into his palms due to tightening his fists in response to her movements. He had never been the strongest, but his quick mind could easily outwit an opponent. Although he could not seem to lash that technique out on her. 

A fist flying straight into his jaw snapped him from his train of thought. He groaned at the harsh impact of his frame hitting the grass. Worry broke through (Y/N)'s facade with the crease of her eyebrows. She crouched next to him to analyze his countenance. He smiled through the pain to assure her in an attempt to catch her off guard as he gripping onto her hand. Shock overtook her just as he yanked her over him. Her back hit the ground as he swung his leg over her hip. Wide eyes gazed up at him now straddling her waist and holding her wrists captive above her head.
