I Hate to Love You

Chapter 1 ~Annie frozen~

~~Mikasa~~

I walked down the hall, just wandering really, Eren was off doing whatever with Levi. Levi got on my nerves, but I knew, that I could atleast trust that he'd bring Eren back alive. I took no notice of where I was going, as my mind wandered, and soon I found myself standing in front of Annie. Well...Annie in cased in ice any way.

I looked at her, noticing how peaceful she looked in the ice, and how it had captured her beautiful features perfectly. Wait, what am I thinking, she's the enemy. I tried to shake myself of the thought, and looked at her again. She tried to take my Eren from me, she killed Levi's squad, why am I thinking so fondly of her...

Then I thought back to the academy, when we were in training. We'd shared a cabin, she'd been pretty okay then, friendly even. I had admired her, maybe not for her beauty then, but for how strong she was. I guess I had thought of her, to be like me, to have something to fight for.

I stood there for a while, and looked at her, trying to find the reason for my earlier thoiughts. Well...she is quite pretty...

I laugh. "Oh Mikasa...what is wrong with you" I say to myself.

"Um...Miss Ackerman are you alright?" One of the military police assigned to guard Annie asked, looking at me.

"Yes, I'm quite alright." I look at the guard.

"If you say so..." He backed away, when I looked at him.

And there's another thing possibly, she never shied away from me, she would meet my gaze head on. Most people backed down, or averted their eyes, as if I would turn them to stone. We used to sit and talk when we were training at the academy, granted we're both people of few words, so they tended to be short and to the point.

It was then thinking back, that I realized, we'd been friends. I had actually liked her, I wonder if she'd ever felt the same way? Well, I guess I'll never know now.

"Did you Annie...?" I reached out, and touched the ice.

The ice was cold and solid, much like the surface of the colorful stones you can find in rivers. But that doesn't explain why I saw her move, her eyes opened, and she looked at me, before closing them again.

"Did you...hear me...?" I wondered aloud.
