A/n: Sorry for the wait! On top of school, chores and homework, there's only one computer within the entire house. Everybody up in here has to use it too. So lately, I've been using my phone to type with. It takes FOREVER to write with that thing!

JE VOUS REMERCIE!!! Enjoy~
Mikasa's P.O.V
As soon as we reached HQ, I checked on Eren and Armin. They were tired, bruised in some places, had minor injuries and they were a bit dirty. Other than that, they were both fine. I am glad.
As long as I am alive, I will look out for the both of them. I made a promise to Eren's mom, Mrs. Yeager- who was also my former adoptive mom- to keep Eren safe. Before the expedition, I mentally included Armin to that same promise. He is Eren's best friend, and mine as well. So he is therefore family. (IalsostillfeelreallyguiltythatIforgotabouthimwhenweweregoingtogetshotbycannonfireafterhej-uststoodupforallofustoo).
After we reunited, the three of us were about to go inside HQ, when Eren gasped and turned. "Hey! It's that horse again!" ({[This is starting to become a slogan for whenever somebody sees Reader-chan/Reader-kun ^^ ]}) We turned, and it really was THAT horse again. The one with the (b/c) coat, (h/c) hair, that peculiar (black/white) mark that resembled the Wings of Freedom on it's (left/right) flank, and the sword that it stole from the shorty.
Upon seeing the (stallion/mare) across the way, Armin started to get nervous. He was shaking a little. "D-did (he/she)... Follow us here?" "It seems so," I answered. "Why are you afraid of that horse, Armin?" "I-I'm not scared! It's just that... (he/she) seems to be too intelligent for the average horse. Have you ever seen a horse take down a titan? It's kinda unnerving." Eren scoffed. "You kidding?! That horse... that, that MONSTER killed somebody!"
His outburst made a scene, and we stared at him in shock. Even the wild horse seemed to be listening since it lifted it's head, ears perked, in Eren's direction.
"'Oi brats! What's going on here?" Great. Here comes the shorty. Ever since he beat Eren in court, I despised him. If it weren't for Armin holding me back, I would have killed him. "Captain Levi, sir!" Eren called as everybody saluted. Normally, he would stammer a little because he fears the shorty, but this was an exception because he was angry. "We were discussing that horse, sir! We need to kill it!"
"... Tch. Which one, brat? We have over hundreds of them."
Darn him, he was doing this on purpose! The shorty was waiting for Eren to say something that he will consider to be out of line, so that he can give him punishments. That was bound to happen very soon with Eren's attitude. He puts so much passion into whatever he does, that he sometimes oversteps his boundaries. What the shorty just said had triggered Eren's temper, and he was very close to losing it. It was totally obvious that he knew what Eren was talking about. I know because he hesitated. At this point, Eren was trying very hard to restrain himself from lashing out.
I would have (begrudgingly) calmed him down some, but I was not one to talk. I also, was restraining myself from mouthing off the shorty. Unlike Eren though, I have a better grip on self-control- so the most I did was clench my fists.
Eren was breathing deeply and raggedly. A muffled growl murmured in his throat, his eye twitched, and he was shaking a little- kind of like how Armin was when he saw that one horse earlier. Only difference is that Eren was shaking in fury. He wasn't mad at the shorty, though. He was enraged at whatever that horse did.
