ROYALTY (AnniexEren)

Chapter 8

Annie felt someone grab her by her stomach, it was Eren's arm wrapped around her stomach, "that was a close one" he said putting on a faint smile as she stood on her feet, "I... I'm sorry" said Annie as her face went red, "don't say a word, can you walk well?" he asked holding her hands to support her, her heart started beating fast, "uh.. Yes sure" she tried to walk but she couldn't, she was limping "you don't have to be though" said Eren, "I'll carry you up, jeez, i thought i told you not to go outside?", Annie didn't have the time to react when she saw herself in his arms like a baby, he picked her up bridal style to be more specific, she couldn't talk but just stare at him as he walked into the house, 'w...what i..i...is this I'm feeling, my heart is beating fast, why...why am i blushing?', Annie thought as she was laid on her bed, she then sat up and started to look at Eren while he collected a box with a red cross on it from one of the maids in the house, a first aid box, 'is he the one to tend to my wounds?', Annie thought, then she spoke up "i..i can do it myself", she said trying to act innocent again, "it's okay i will do it", he said as he knelt down and lift up her foot that was hurt "b..but you are t....th..the...", she was embarrassed and restless she couldn't even speak well.
Eren began to lift up her dress to her knees so he could take a look at the injury, but Annie couldn't judge if she liked it or hate it, it made her mad and frustrated, she hated what she was feeling, "I THOUGHT I SAID STOP!, I CAN DO IT MYSELF!" she snapped with range as she gave him a slap on the face.

Meanwhile Armin missed Eren's appearance at the castle and it seems so boring in the castle so he thought he could stroll around the kingdom a bit but he has to disguise himself.

(Armins POV)
I guess this should do the trick, He wore a normal trouser with a white Shirt and a cape, i actually don't look like I'm from the royalty huh.

When i went out the gate it was around 3:00 so i guess I'll be back soon.

As i was roaming around i saw Jean together with Mikasa....?, i looked away and looked back to their direction again just in case if I'm seeing things but it was really Jean with Mikasa, I've never seen those two like that, having fun, i guess i should go say 'hi'.

I went towards them and Jean was the first to notice me, and now he's making the face that says 'please don't come over here' or rather, 'come any closer and I'll kill you' but Mikasa won't let him so i think its fine.

"Hey guys" i said waving at them, "oh hay Armin, what are you doing in that outfit?" she asked, "it looks kinda lame" she added with a weird look on her face, "i should be saying the same to you two", "what are you even doing out here alone?" i added, "Okay! i think thats enough of the hello stuff, Armin i thought you were heading somewhere?" said Jean, he was already annoyed by my presence.
"I wanted some snacks so i followed jean to pay for me" Mikasa answered my question earlier, i was about to say something when Jean interrupted me. "hah, Mikasa~, i never knew you also make jokes, you can't be serious right?" said Jean with a creepy smile, "I am serious" she said with a serious tone. "But i thought we were on a~, i mean hang..", "really?" she interrupts, she seems to be surprised, the situation is getting worst because right now there's a weird silence.

'seriously?!!!!!.............' Jean thought full of regrets and disbelief.

Back at Eren's house.
"So you finally show your true self huh?, you really are like a complete different person now, I'm surprised" he said, "n..thats..." she couldn't believe what she did, she just slapped the goddamn Prince of Sweet Vill. "I'm..I didn't mean...", "its okay, i knew you where hiding something so i wanted to confirm" he interrupts, "I'll call in someone to tend to you okay?" he added as he walked towards the door.
'am i suppose to stop him, no i don't, it's better this way..... he was already close to the door, "wait..." Annie held his shirt from behind, "you can do it, can't you" she said with her normal tone as she avoided his gaze, not a shy little girl anymore, her action made him blush a bit "i think i prefer this Annie" he whispered as he turn around, what she heard made Annie even more embarrassed.
