The New Arrivals

"Eren, you ever thought about using that Titan power against the Wind Titan?" Jean rolled his eyes, trying to rile him up.

"I don't think I'd do any good." Eren frowned, looking at the mattress.

"A minute ago, you were raring to go. Now you're all depressed." Connie chuckled.

"With that Titan Shifter on the loose, who knows what its planning. Once again, we've failed to capture it. It's simply too powerful." Eren mumbled, collapsing on his bed.

"Don't beat yourself up, it's not like we could capture it either." Finn assured, sharing a comforting smile.

Eren smiled back, weakly. He stayed still, laying on his bed. He thought about Mikasa and Armin. About how they thought of him. How many times he'd rely on them. Sometimes Eren felt he was ungrateful, he would often shut them out to prove he was independent. When deep down, he really needed them. If it wasn't for Mikasa he wouldn't have fought Annie. If it wasn't for Armin he wouldn't have the strength the carry the boulder. Eren replayed all the times he relied on people. Hannes went through his mind, it tortured him to know that all Hannes wanted to do was avenge his mother because Eren couldn't do it himself.

Max's POV

I always knew Danielle liked, or should I say loved Armin. I can't believe I'm actually admitting this, but I can't say I'm not jealous, because I am...

I hope she doesn't find me creepy. It's kind of annoying that I keep glancing her. Not that I want to, but it's a bad habit. Which I should stop! I mean Armin and Danielle fit, I can't lie. Two smartasses. Perfect. Well, it's like no one said, the girl gets the girl. That only worked for Ymir and Krista. Oh shit, I should really focus on training. Which I should probably attend...

Maybe after training I could ask Mikasa for advice. You know, because she has a lot of experience, loving Eren and all.

I was partnered with Dante again for hand-to-hand combat. We understood eachother, combat-wise. That's why he was always a good partner, except for the unnecessary puns and jokes while fighting. He said it was his 'distraction technique' except it only got him beat up more.

"Hey Ackerman! What do you call a fake noodle?" Dante sniggered, getting into position.

I sighed, and swiftly put him in an arm lock and kicked him into the ground. The guy still decided to finish his joke.

"An... Im...pasta..." He winced, whispering.

I rolled my eyes and helped him up, glared. I think the glare stopped him from saying any jokes or puns for all of training. He actually made some good progress, without the jokes. Even if he knows the jokes don't help he still does it. Ugh.

Dinner came up and I was exhausted. People look up to me as a hardworking over-achiever. I guess I am that in some way, except having to put up that image all the time is tiring. People expect you to exceed in everything. They expect you to lead them. Everyone basically relied on the Ackerman's. I wonder is Levi or Mikasa have these thoughts. Or maybe I'm just an idiot.

"Hey Max, are you okay?" Danielle beamed, sitting next to me with a tray.

"Uh. Yeah, I'm fine." I muttered, sorta playing with my food. She just had some weird technique of hypnotising me. Maybe that explains why I can't get my eyes off her.

Armin followed after her. I should've known. Armin was always her type, smart, caring, sensitive. I'm pretty much like only one of those things.

Jesus I need to focus. My goals are: avenging humanity, Dani-... improving in strength, stay alive. Shouldn't be to hard... Who am I kidding. It's fucking hard.

"I have a weird feeling about today..." Sasha frowned.

"Yeah yeah, we get it you didn't get a lot of food." Connie rolled his eyes, smirking. Connie was always a goof. A big goof.

"It's not that. It's something else that I can't put my finger on..." She placed a finger on his lips, trying extremely hard to find out what it is.

"Whatever, just eat up." Finn wrinkled his eyebrows. He was basically the dad of the two. Keeping the food fights in control. And believe me you did not want to be there when they happened. Finn seemed to be the one who had the most food on him.

Hope seemed to be more comfortable with the 15-19 year olds. I mean there's nothing wrong with that, she looks the part, but everyone damn well knows she's in her 20s. I heard from Ymir she was Erwin's daughter, she never said her surname. I guess she was embarrassed? I wouldn't, Commanders daughter sounds fucking cool. Also, about now, I think everyone knows Hope is Erwin's daughter, no ones brought it up yet.

"Erwin Smith demands all of you to the meeting hall! He has an urgent announcement! Don't gear up there's no time and don't finish your food!" A soldier yelled, urging us to leave.

What the hell could he want?
