"If Erwin wants you then he will take out anyone and everyone to take you for himself" I blink in surprise when Hanji bluntly states this fact but I become surprised even more when the door quietly swings open and a young Cadet with green eyes jumps in.

"I'm sorry to interrupt Hanji but Erwin wants you right away!" The young cadet shouts excitedly and he runs away again, Hanji takes this as her que  to leave and stands from her sitting position next to my bed in the sick-bay.

"Well then I'll leave you to muse over what I've said, I'm sure you're just astounded and speechless about all this amazing information" Hanji chirps and springs like a rabbit out of the door, closing it behind her.

The silence closes around me as soon as the door shuts with a click and a piercing whistle screams in my ears while heat encases my body.

'What information?' My own voice echos in my splitting head and I can feel my body reflexively want to escape from these boiling sheets. I jerk the sheets off (ayyyyeeee) and throw my body to the floor with a slam, shaking, shivering. I'm shivering and shaking on the floor but I force my body to stand up.

I stumble to the door and crash against it, thoughts covered in a ringing haze and my heart thumping as blood rushes to my head. I stand leaning against the cold door until the light-headed feeling has subsided slightly.

Once the floor mostly stops swaying underneath my feet I place my palm on the handle of the door and twist my wrist, a small 'click' and the door creaks open with my weight resting against.

Once the door is open enough for me to fit through I stagger out of the small room and, with difficulty, I start to lurch forward and down a long, unfamiliar hall.

My feet stop outside a large wooden door as I hear a quiet melody ring through the cracks and towards my ears.

I throw my hand up to cover my mouth as I recognise a sweet chorus reach into me and pull my heart-strings and I can feel the tears prick my eyes while my throat begins to burn.

'Mystery Man... It's him...'  The floor again begins to sway under my feet as I listen to the familiar tune.

The song freezes and so do I as I hear someone walking towards the door rather loudly.

I bolt it around a corner and peek my head out to finally see who Mystery Man actually is.

the footsteps stop and my head tilts in confusion but I do not move from my position, I'll stand here patiently, even if my head is burning against my will and the floor is swaying underneath my feet. As soon as MM takes a step outside that door I will see him and run to him.

After a few minutes the loud walking continued and by now my ears had started ringing from the ominous silence again.

I keep absolutely still as the footsteps get louder and closer to the door. I absent-mindlessly suck in a breath as the door creaks open and a foot appears in the doorway.

My eyes widen as Mystery Man proceeds to walk through the door and close it behind them.

'...He's beautiful' I think to myself while my mouth hangs wide open at my previously secret friend.

His bright eyes lock onto mine as he's walking out the door and he stops in place while I stand completely stunned, the Mystery man in front of me looked exactly like the boy I have been dreaming about.

"MM?" gasp out and he looks at me with a confused expression that quickly washes to surprise as I run up to him and throw my arms around his neck while nuzzling into his chest. I can feel that he's taking aback but he wraps his arms around my shoulders hesitantly.

"I found you... you left but I found you" I weep into his shoulders and holding him closer then before so that barely any distance was left between us. Out of the corner of my eye I can see him give a bewildered smile as he hugs me back more confidently.

-Armin's POV-

'I honestly have no idea who this dainty girl is, but she must be mistaking me for a dead relative.' I decide to hold her back, I'll tell her later that I have no idea who she is, but for now, I'll enjoy her amazing cuddle.

I had just come out of Captain Levi's office, he had been angry at Eren and was scolding me for letting Eren get into the chicken pen with Sasha.

I must say that I had been surprised to see Levi playing the Violin so angry, although once I had walked out he had look a lot more calm.

For the mean-time I'll continue to hug this pretty girl.

-Your POV-

He's hugging me back, MM's arms are wrapped around my waist.

I'm about to chat about old times when music starts pouring through the doors again.

'That's... the tune...' I push away from the man I had assumed was my MM with a bright red blush. The good-looking blonde boy looks at me, confused, and vaguely hurt. I ignore his pleading eyes and shove open the large wooden door in a panicked rush.

I could swear my heart stops at the sight before me.
