AOT: Forget and Forgive

Training Drama

Mystie's POV

"You nervous?" Leena asked me as we got ready. We were about to start our trial. We were getting into their outfits, and can I just say these outfits were a pain to get on, how did they do it everyday?

"Yeah,"

"Well, let's go." She said as we finished putting on these difficult outfits. We grabbed our bags and went to the kitchen, getting lost a couple of times.

"Hey, Armin," I said as we walked through the door.

"Hey, look I got to go; Levi will explain what were doing. There's breakfast on the counter." He said as he looked up and saw us, then leaving.

"That was weird."

"Whatever, I'm hungry." Leena said and she went to get food. After a few seconds, I followed. There was a bunch of stuff, fruit of every kind from bananas to squash, every type of cereal there could possibly be, oatmeal, and a bunch more stuff we could have. I settled on fruit loops without milk and a banana.

After we finished we went to the living room where Levi explained what we were going to be doing. Apparently we were gonna explore some of the places they normally have to fight in, get used to those areas and the last place we were going to we were gonna be trained to fight.

Armin was still acting weird, he never spoke to me, or either of us in general, unless necessary. It was like he was avoiding me, but I didn't do anything, I was probably over reacting, I mean, we just met each other; maybe this was just how he acted?

The places we went were beautiful. The first one was near a mountain, with a beautiful river running down in the middle, and a beautiful forest surrounding it. The second and third ones were just a couple of forests. The last one was the most impressive, it was a beautiful forest, with trees of the perfect shade of brown with leaves the perfect green. In the forest there was a clearing with amazing flowers that went up to my mid shin.

For fighting Levi showed us a bunch of different moves, I was decent at most of them, Leena could do some, and a couple of the moves neither one of us could do. At times I would ask how we were doing and all I would get out of Armin was "nice" or "good" he definitely was avoiding me, or he just didn't like me, which was weird because he liked me the other day, the day we met.

Armin's POV

Leena and Mystie were pretty good at fighting for beginners, especially Mystie. I wanted to say she was great and amazing, but I couldn't, I couldn't get attached, no matter how much I wanted to. All I said was nice and good, mainly because it was the only thing I could say without saying anything else that would get me into trouble.

I kept walking back and forth, trying not to look at Mystie, because whenever I did, I could never look away, it took all my strength to do it. But, by accident, I saw out of the corner of my eye and I couldn't help but turn to face her. She was practicing kicking, using a dummy to practice on. Her kicks were almost exactly on point. I watched her as she used the little strength she had to give a powerful kick to the dummy each time, it was mesmerizing. Then, she looked up at me, we looked into each others eyes, I knew I should've looked away, but I couldn't this time, the pull was too strong. I could feel Levi and Mikasa glaring at me, but I still couldn't look away.

"Good job," I said, and she gave me a cute smile, one that turned into blushing, she then looked away and kept practicing.

"Armin, over here, now!" Levi yelled, I looked at him, then back at Mystie who was looking up at what was happing, I looked back to Levi and walked over. "Follow me." We walked a little bit into the woods before he stopped. "I said to stay away from her, Armin."

"I know, I'm trying to disconnect myself from them as much as possible, Caption, but it's really hard, she's just so perfect."

"I don't care, you stay away, no attachments, we don't need them."

"Ok, yeah, I'll try harder."

"Good, go." He said and as I turned around he smacked me on the back of the head. I knew I shouldn't say anything so I just kept walking back.

I wanted to add in a little of what their training was like, plus the struggle between Armin and Mystie.
