The Day I'd Never Forget

Chapter 1

"Show me once more how it feels to be loved..."

"What do you mean we'll never happen?!"

"Face it Eren. Levi is out of your league and I highly doubt he's gay. I see him gawking at Petra sometimes." Mikasa stated, crossing her arms.

"He doesn't gawk."

"Hey, don't be so harsh. You know he's had a crush on him for a few years now." Armin added.

"Fine.."

"Thank you Armin." I flashed a nasty look at Mikasa.

"Glad someone cares to listen instead of bringing me down."

"Eren, I'm sorry. I'm just trying to look out for you. I don't want to see you hurt. I don't mean to judge a book by its cover, but Levi seems like a player.." Mikasa said.

"N-no he doesn't!"

I clenched my fists, inching closer to her.

"Okay I'm sorry!" She uncrossed her arms and inched back as I stepped forward.

"You two cut it out!" Armin jumped in, pushing Mikasa and I away from each other. "Control yourselves or we'll get in trouble by the Captain. Just sit back down and finish eating, we're still in the middle of trying to figure out your titan powers Eren. Focus on what's important."

"Fine." Mikasa said annoyingly, while walking back to the lunch bench with Armin in the middle of the field.

"...He's important to me too..." I looked down sadly, speaking quietly to myself.

"Armin's right."

I sighed to myself and made my way back to the bench with my friends to finish eating.

"Hey, you okay? You seem upset.."

Armin was always looking out for me. As was Mikasa, but she looked out for me in a less genuine way, depending on what it was. She could be pretty harsh sometimes, but I was used to it by then.

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks."

I lied. Clearly I was upset thinking of what Mikasa said earlier. All I could think about was whether she was right or not..

So many questions, so little answers.

"Eren...I know I was a bit harsh and I'm sorry. You know I want you to be happy with whoever you want. But knowing how Levi can be, I'm just being cautious for you." Mikasa said, looking at me with a concerned face.

"I can be cautious for myself, thanks."

Mikasa may have been harsh at times, but she always apologizes for her mistakes. Mikasa may have been harsh at times, but she always apologizes for her mistakes. She was a little too controlling for me and acted like my mother most times. Being 16 years old of course it was infuriating, but I understood her reasoning for being so protective of me. I made her who she is today. A strong, powerful young lady. She's even stronger than me..while I'm also able to transform into a damn titan..

I don't make a big deal of it though.

Seconds later, Armin nudged me in my arm.

"What?"
His wide smile was confusing..

He then pointed into the distance but not so much that anyone would notice him.

"Look." He whispered in my ear. He was discreetly pointing at Captain Levi, walking in our direction from a distance. I looked down and began blushing, my heart racing at just the sight of him.

"Aww he's getting so red!" Armin teased.

"Shut up!"

Armin was always fond of me and Levi and the idea of us being together ever since the day I told him I had feelings for him. Mikasa on the other hand wasn't too fond of Levi, but respected him as a captain, and still does. That didn't stop her from snickering though.  

"Armin, calm the hell down. What, you got a thing for him too or something?" She said laughing a bit. Armin rolled his eyes.

"No you knucklehead. I just..."

He stopped and looked down, figuring out his next words.

"..I don't know..I guess I just get excited seeing those two together."
