Survive (Annie x Eren)

Chapter 6

Annie was put in the spotlight, supposedly humiliated about not giving a shit but she just stood and thought about stuff and how fucked up everything was. "Eren bloody Jaeger! There you are! Right, since you and Annie were supposed to duel earlier, but you arrived late, you couldn't. So go on, do it now!" The Instructor's voice sounded pissed and on the verge of going on a killing spree. Mikasa and Armin glance nervously at Eren as he makes eye contact with Annie, but she just smirks and mouths, 'I'm not going easy on you, love.'. Eren nervously makes his way to the arena and stands in a neutral position, waiting for Annie to make a move.

"Aaahh!" Annie groaned in pain after being flipped over and spladunked onto the floor. She clutched her waist in pain. She got up a few seconds later, wincing a little but faced Eren. He laughed a little before charging to tackle Annie to the floor. She merely stood her ground until the last possible second before moving a step to the right and watching Eren crash to the floor. She used her foot to roll him over, his face bloody from faceplanting the floor. She kicked him in the stomach once or twice before punching him in the face thrice. Then standing up and giving him a hand, she looked at the instructor as he nodded. Annie felt kind of bad, but punched Eren down to the floor swiftly before he could react. "Annie's once again victorious!" He ushered me off while dragging Eren to the side and leaving him there. Mikasa and Armin instantly sprinted over to him, kneeling around him and wondering if he was okay. He appeared unconcious.

But for the first time since being here, Annie gave a shit, so she came back over to Eren and carried him back to the bunker-cabins, (where they slept), and lay him down on her bed. She pulled out a medikit from underneath her bed and started stitching up any open wounds on Eren and cleaning him up. Mikasa was the first to come back in. "Wha-" She stopped as she saw Annie helping Eren. "You're.." She was speechless. Annie glanced back and sighed, continuing to patch up Eren before moving onto herself. As Armin ran in and had the same reaction as Mikasa, she rolled her eyes and started to speak in a low voice. "Just because I'm all 'hard' and all that shit, doesn't mean I can't feel." And finished there.

Mikasa and Armin shared a look, suddenly catching on to what might be going on between Annie and Eren. "Holy shit.." Mikasa muttered, before thanking Annie. "Thanks.. For helping him." Annie muttered something under her breath but made sure no one else heard, except possibly Eren if he was awake. "I didn't do this for you.."

Eren awoke with Annie sitting on the bed next to him, her legs crossed. He tried to sit up, but fell back, groaning a little. "Take it easy, you're gonna be in a lot of pain for the next few days.. Sorry about that." Eren just smiled and slipped his hand into Annie's, closing his eyes. Annie returned the smile, kissing his temple. Once she thought Eren was asleep again, she whispered, "I love you." She closed her eyes as a few tears made their way down her cheeks, dripping onto her lap. She quickly wiped them away and kissed Eren's hand, pulling the blanket over him and going back outside. She'd been in there for a couple hours, keeping an eye on Eren, so she thought she'd better go back to training.

As she walked outside, her hands in her pockets, the Instructor shouted, "Leonhart! Come on, back to training. Use the dummies!"

Annie pov

I kept hitting and training with the dummies, working myself out until I could barely breathe. Eren was all I could think about. Was he okay? 'I should go back inside, I need to check on him.. No! People'll think that you give a shit about him, don't want that! .. But I do.' I shook my head, trying to focus on the training. I was still hitting the dummy and using all the techniques I'd learnt, but I could've been doing it better. 'For all you know you beat him to death. Go check on him before he fucking dies, yeah?' I sighed at myself. I wiped those thoughts from my mind for a second, and gave it my all. I punched and then kicked dummy, sending its head flying and the body was broken. "Instructor, can I take a break?" He scowled at me, but nodded guessing I was to check on Eren.

"Eren, hun? You awake?" I walked into the room only to see Eren sitting up and looking at me, a grin plastered on his face. I narrowed my eyes. "What are you grinning about? I could've killed you." He didn't say anything, just continued to grin at me. As I got within his reach, he pulled me into a kiss and his lips came crashing down on mine. I was shocked, but went with it, guessing there was something else to come. He pulled away after a few seconds, and gazed into my eyes. "I love you too." He whispered. I instantly knew why he was smiling so much. He'd heard me, the little bastard.

This time I pulled him in for a kiss but heard someone about to come in so I pulled away and pretended to feeling his forehead, seeing if he was abnormally warm. "Nah, you're fine." I said before turning around to see Sasha sneaking in with bread and meat. I laughed, shaking my head. "Toss Eren some, yeah?" Sasha scowled a little, but did so as he was in a pretty bad state. I watched him dig in to it and sneak me a little which I instantly wolfed down, mouthing 'Thank you'. Sasha hid the stash in a bag underneath her bed. "Don't tell a soul.." She muttered. 

{{Helloo again! Hope you enjoyed that, just thought I'd put in there that Annie totally kicked his ass :") But hey, sorry about not keeping to my word. Last chapter I said I'd focus more on training, but I kinda failed... So uhm, definitely next chapter :3 Vote and comment and all that if you want, and thanks for reading :£ }}
