The Complications-SNK fanfic

Mikasa

When we went to the meeting hall, we were told of how the expeditions work and the rules of the expeditions, formations and more. I noticed that Eren kept on staring at the Captain but I don't think it's anything too important.

I have a problem.

I love Eren. And by love, I mean that I want to kiss him on the lips. But you see, I can't love him that way. First of all, he probably doesn't love me in that way and I've grown up with him: he's practically my brother.

But that fact doesn't diminish my feelings for him. I love his green eyes and how they look at everything with a seeming rage but also a little bit of curiosity. He's dedication to killing the Titans is, not gonna lie, pretty hot. 

I shake my head. I can't keep on thinking like this. When the Commander and the Captain walked in, I'm not gonna lie and say I  was the only girl who didn't stare at the Captain. Because I stared at him for a good five minutes. 

I almost could forget about Eren for a while. I admired the Captain, taking in his raven coloured hair and his amazing and intense grey eyes. He was stunningly perfect. I bet he didn't even know how perfect he was. Eren's words snapped me out of my daze.

"He's probably not available," he snickers. I turn to look at him. Is he kidding? Who does he think he is? Just because I think the Captain is physically attractive doesn't mean I like him. I liked someone else so much more.

Eren is perfect too. I loved how beautiful he was. I liked Eren more because I've known him for so much longer than I've known the Captain (duh). 

My face turns red, not from embarrassment but from anger. How dare Eren thinks I like this guy? Doesn't he...assume that I like him?

"I don't like him," I snap. He rolls his eyes and chuckles. 

"Oh, so you weren't drooling just now?" he says. My face goes even more red and I snap at him,

"I. Don't. Like. Him. Just because he's the Captain does not make me like right away. Just stop it, Eren." I turn around. Armin tries to console me but I shrug him off and tell him to not bother me. Armin gives Eren a look and Eren shrugs and continues to stare at the Commander and the Captain.

A little while after the meeting was over, Armin and I went to go ask the Commander some questions about the formations. I thought Eren was going to join us but he seemed to have vanished as soon as everyone was dismissed. 

After we finished asking our questions, I said good night to Armin but he insisted that he walk me back to my room. I shrugged and just walked.

"So.. what happened back there? I didn't see what was going on but you looked quite pissed," he asked me. I shrugged.

"Nothing really. Eren was just bugging me about Captain Levi. He thinks I like him or something," I sigh. Armin nods. 

"And do you?" he asked me, watching me the whole time. I sigh and snap at him,

"No, okay? I don't like Captain Levi. Just because he is slightly physically attractive doesn't mean I want to marry him and have his babies. Plus, I like someone else." SHIT. Why did I say that?! Armin'll want to know who it is... 

His eyes light up. "Oh? And who would that be?" he asks. Great going, I say to myself. 

"Never mind I even said that. Forget it," I say, hoping to dodge that bullet. Armin nods but he looks a little sad. I couldn't help but feel a little bad for making him so sad.

"Hey, I'm sorry for snapping. It's just that, Eren's already bugged me about liking someone and I'm not in the mood for more," I say to him. Armin looks at me and smiles. 

"It's okay. I understand.. sort of," he says. I smile at him and then stop at my bedroom door. 

"Thanks for understanding, Armin," I tell him.  I say good night and give him a hug.

"You're the best. Love you," I say before going into my room. 

It was only then did I realize he might have taken that the wrong way.
