Annie Leonhardt x Male!Reader (Attack on Titan)

High School!AU

---------------------

He brushed the (h/c) hair out of his eyes and peered across the classroom at the center of his affection, Annie Leohardt. Of course, she didn't know this yet since he had kept it in the dark but today he would ask her. When she wasn't surrounded by those two massive guys, Reiner and Bertholdt, fellow seniors. The bell to homeroom rung and class began. He didn't pay attention to the lesson too much but when called upon, was able to recover quickly and answer correctly.

The teacher always managed to growl in frustration, as if he didn't want him to graduate, but let his calm answers slide. People noticed the tension between teacher and student including Annie, who always seemed to unconsciously listen a bit harder once his name was mentioned. She shrugged off the feelings and continued her work even when a shiver ran down her spine when his voice reached her ears. On break, Reiner turned to his fellow blonde and sent her a childish smirk.

"When are you going to tell (y/n) you like him?" He asked. Bertholdt's eyes shifted nervously from Reiner to Annie and saw her pause in her writing. Her blue eyes glanced around before focusing on Reiner.

"If you say it any louder, I'll drop-kick your ass." She replied monotonously. Reiner let out a hearty laugh, attracting the attention of a few people including Annie's crush. She looked forward and placed a loose strand of her hair behind her ear.

"Reiner..." Bertholdt said timidly

"Ah, calm down Bert. Just teasing Annie a little about (y/n)." He chuckled. Annie's eyes became dangerously sharp and focused on Reiner. Reiner gulped and put his hands up defensively.

"One." She whispered, pushing her chair out.

"Annie!" Reiner pleaded.

"Two." She echoed, standing up.

"Annie....." Bertholdt murmured.

"Thre-"

"Ah, Annie?" (Y/n) asked. She stopped in her counting and took a quick intake of breath. Her eyes focused to the boy standing in front of her desk. "Am I interrupting something?" He inquired. She blinked then smoothed out her jeans.

"No." She mumbled, a light blush spread across her cheeks. Reiner silently thanked the gods.

"Could I talk to you for a minute? I mean if it's alright with you." He calmly said, while on the inside he was a nervous wreck. She nodded and stepped around her desk and to outside the classroom, him trailing behind. She stood looking away from him and off into the distance. "Annie." He spoke. She slowly turned her head to look at him.

He nervously brushed his hair out of his (e/c) eyes and dropped his hand to allow his fingers to brush against hers.

"I like you, Annie Leonhardt. Go on a date with me." He requested, carefully clasping her hand in his larger one. She looked up at him and then down at their clasped hands. She blinked slowly, trying to process his words. He swallowed nervously. "Annie?"

"Yes." She responded her cheeks tinting rose. A smile crawled onto his usually serious face.

"Can I hug you?" He mumbled. Her eyes flitted upwards to meet his.

"Whatever." She replied. He carefully encased her in his long arms. She clung to his jacket and buried her face into his chest. He sighed in content and let go.

"Want to meet up at a restaurant at the mall? Friday at seven?" He inquired. She nodded before shivering slightly. "Are you cold?" He wondered, hand lightly running up her arm. She shivered, partly from his touch and partly from the cold. He quickly shrugged off his sweater and handed it to her.

She blinked before slowly taking his sweater.

"Thank you." She muttered. He smiled softly. He leaned down and whispered into her ear.

"You're even cuter when you blush." He pulled back and watched her cheeks brighten. "I'll see you later."

And with that, he walked into class, nearly crashing into Bertholdt and Reiner. They took a step back and tried to act as casually as possible. Annie walked in after and saw the two goons she called her close friends. She rolled her eyes.

"Move out of the way, dumb asses." She grumbled, shoving past them and Reiner's knowing grin.

--------------------------

Annie stood in front of her mirror in her room and fussed with her hair. She carefully smoothed out the slim fitting white dress she was wearing and checked to make sure her laces on her combat boots were tied. She looked at herself in the mirror and noticed her lips were slightly turned upwards.

"Stop it, Leonhardt." She then proceeded to try and put on her usually emotionless face. She failed miserably. Meanwhile, (y/n) was walking to the mall decked out in black jeans, a light blue button up with the sleeves rolled up, and some black shoes. He brushed the hair out of his eyes and checked his watch.

"Six-thirty." He patiently waited and spotted the blonde in a white dress and black combat boots. He loosened his collar and approached her.

'Where is he?' She thought tugging at her dress.

"Annie?" a voice spoke. It ran shivers down her spine. She turned to face him and looked up. "Woah. You look amazing. I mean you always look amazing but I usually see you in jeans and I'm going to stop talking now." He ranted. She laughed softly.

"You don't look to bad yourself." She quietly teased. He smiled and dropped his hand down to grasp hers.

"You don't mind right?" He asked softly, squeezing her hand slightly. She squeezed his hand back.

"Not at all."

He smiled and walked towards a classy Italian place.

--------------------------------

Annie smiled without knowing it. He was walking her home, their date a success. Their hands were holding each other tightly and swung between the couple. They arrived at the door and she stood on the doorstep, he on the path leading up to her house.

"I had fun." She whispered. He nodded in agreement.

"I guess this is where we part right?" He murmured jokingly. She nodded.

"Goodnight (y/n)." She muttered. He swallowed, praying he wouldn't get his ass kicked for this. He pulled her arm swiftly, his arm wrapping around Annie's waist. Her eyes widened in shock.

"May I kiss you?" He whispered aginst her lips. Her hand gripped his shoulder, her other hand held onto his bicep.

"You do know you'll be stuck with me for the rest of senior year if we kiss."

"I wouldn't mind calling you my girlfriend. I'd prefer it actually."

"Then yes."
