It had been 4 months since Annie was released from the crystal seal. She was sent to jail and everyone has tortured her
Everyone except for Eren.............
Eren has been trying to get answers from her and become friends
Then Annie realizes her fee...
Pain. I cough into my fist. I slowly open my eyes. I'm in a bed. The room is dim and the curtains are covering the window. Mikasa is sitting in a chair beside me fast asleep. I sit up. My stomach hurts. I groan and cough into my fist again. Mikasa grunts and wakes up. She lifts up her head and gasps. "Eren" she breathes. "Mikasa...what hap-" She jumps off her chair and embraces me into a hug. I'm shocked, but hug her back. She sobs into my shoulder. "Eren" Mikasa cries. "W-w-what happened?". I'm silent. "I-I-I can't" I whisper. Mikasa takes my head into her hands and lays me down. "It's okay Eren" she coos. "Just rest". I nod and close my eyes. Mikasa stands up again. I slowly feel myself nod off to sleep. But something happens. I feel something cover my mouth that's warm and moist. I snap my eyes open. Mikasa opens the door and leaves me. I knew what happened. I could recognize that feeling from anywhere. Mikasa had kissed me on the lips!
I stare up at the roof. I was bored. I hear the door open. It's Levi. I sit up. "Oh..hello corporal" I croak. Levi says nothing. He pulls up a chair and sits by my bed. His face is pale white. "Eren....how are you doing?" Levi asks. I feel awkward. I swear I could hear emotion when he said that. "Good". Levi nods. "Are you okay Levi?" I ask. Levi looks up at me. I see tears in his eyes. "Look Eren...." Levi begins. "You remind me...of someone". I sit up straighter. "Levi...I don't want to stress you or an-". Levi stands up, clutching his fist. "Her name was Isabel Magnolia" He begins. "She was pretty quirky and a bit to over confident".

"She....reminds me....of you" he sighs. I close my eyes. Levi was crying? I put my hand on his shoulder. "Levi....I'm sorry" I croak. Levi shakes his head. "No need for that". The door opens...and Armin comes in. I feel tears in my eyes. "Armin" I croak. Armin sits down beside me. I embrace him into a hug. Armin smiles and hugs me back. "T-thank you" he says. I hold back tears, not wanting to cry in front of Levi. But it's no use. I sob into Armin's shoulder. Levi suddenly gets up and embraces me into a hug as well. I feel safe. I cry harder. "Thank you" I sob. "Thank you...".
The sun is setting. I bite into the piece of bread and savor it. I was very hungry. Levi and Armin walk by my side along the edge of the wall. I was calm now. "Jaeger" Levi begins. "Can...you tell us what happened". I'm calm. I nod. "After Annie smashed me.....she healed me" I begin. Levi looked at me in disbelief. "W--what?". I go on. "But she left me to die" I begin to wipe away tears. "We were brought back and healed.....and Annie kept trying to win me back". I fall to my knees. "I should never have trusted her". "But didn't you used to have a crush on her?" Armin asks. I squeeze my eyes shut. "I was foolish". I sigh. I stand up. "COMMANDER!" I hear Rico scream. "YOU NEED TO COME SEE THIS!". levi pats my shoulder and begins to walk away. "LEVI WAIT!" I yell. Levi turns around. "I-I-I.....know how Marco died".
