An Offer

(1 Year Later)

It's been one year since we started our training as Cadets and in this time I've gotten to be friends with everyone except this one girl Annie who's always closing herself off but I've recently got her to open up more and more to me. In this time I've learned Sage Mode but it was hard without being at a place like Mount Myobuko but me, Mikasa and Armin have become the top of the class from our Chakra but I haven't told anyone about Chakra cause even if I have made good friends it won't mean they won't sell me out. Right now we're put to sparring for the first time and Mikasa, Armin and I already do in our free time so we were going to spar between us but then surprisingly someone came to us to join and more so Annie but seeing as she's had no one approach her either from her coldness and strength it's not that surprising.

[Hey can I join you guys?]She asked us.

[Yeah sure. You guys are fine with that right?]I asked them and they both nod.

[Hey Annie why don't you go against me first to see where you're at?]I asked her.

[Sure.]She just plainly responded and then we both put a bit of distance between us and got in our fighting stance.

[Start!]Mikasa said and then Annie ran at me and threw a punch to which I was ready to block but then went low and to try to grapple me so I moved to my right because she wouldn't be able to defend herself from there and got low and tried to sweep her off her feet but she jumped the last moment before I could. When she landed we created some distance again.

[Not bad Annie, you got some reflexes, huh?]I asked her.

[You're not too bad yourself.]She said with her normal stoic expression. I then run at her this time and throw a straight punch which she dodges and go to sweep her feet but she jumps and I go for a round house kick while she's in the air so she can't dodge and she gets sent back a bit and lands crouched and I rush her and pin her down.

[Are you gonna let me go or kiss me?]She asked and I get flustered get off her quickly.

[You're pretty good.]I said with a smile giving her my hand trying to change the topic which successfully worked.

[Yeah. I can tell why you're top of the Cadets, Eren.]She said to me.

[Now how about we have ourselves a little free for all.]I said with a smirk and then we proceeded to beat each other up until came dinner.

(6 Month's later)

{A/N: The following scene is based off of Transmigrating into Attack on Titan Chapter 18:Chapter 17. It's a good read in my opinion so you should read it too.}

It's been 6 months since Annie first joined us for spars and we've also started including her in our personal training but it was hard for her to keep up since she doesn't have Chakra but she only lags behind barely. Right now me Mikasa and Annie are sparring against each other and I just won.

[You know it's supposed to be a free for all and not a 1v2, right?]I asked them since every time we do this they double team me.

[Yeah but you're beating us even in a 1v2. So how you expect us to win any other way?]Annie said tiredly lying on the floor.

[Yeah, yeah whatever.]I said to her with a smirk and give her my hand to help her up but she takes it and pulls me down on the floor with her.

[Ah! What was that for?]I asked her.

[Did it to take away that smirk of yours, it was annoying to look at, and pay back.]She said to me with a smirk back.

[Whatever. We should take a break anyway.]I said and spread my arms and legs out getting comfortable.

[Come one, let's go back.]Mikasa said and gave me her hand but I pulled her down on top of me surprising her.

[Kyaa! Eren, what was that for?]Mikasa said to me with a pout to which I could only chuckle and kiss her on he forehead calming her down immediately.

[Sorry, but I did say we should take a break anyway.]I said to her.

[Ugh! You guys really need your own room.]Annie said bringing us out our little world.

[Ah! Come on Annie, if you always act like that how do you expect to ever get a boyfriend?]I asked her.

[Come on Eren, you expect Annie to date anyone here? She doesn't even talk to anyone other than us and Armin but not really.]Mikasa asked me to which I could only sigh.

[Yeah Eren, I don't know if you really know who I am if you think I would date anyone here.]She said to me with a smirk to which I could only sigh again.

[Well I guess that makes sense. Anyone who tries to ends up not wanting to again and you even sent a few guys to the infirmary.]I said remembering how anyone who tried to talk to her ended up not wanting to again from her cold personality and how some guys who tried to force themselves on her ended up getting a few bones broken and the only reason why she talked to me is from how persistent I am. 'One of the good and bad traits about myself' I thought to myself and chuckled.

[Whats so funny?]Annie asked.

[Nothing. Just thinking about how the only reason why you even started to talk to me is from how persistent and annoying I was. Thats one of my good and bad points, how I never give up.]I said with a melancholic smile remembering my past life.

[Whats up with that smile?]Annie asked and I just shook my head.

[Anyway. Why would I date anyone who can't at least match me in strength.]She said with a sneer.

[Well thats basically Eren, he's the only person you really talk to anyway.]Mikasa said with a shrug.

[So what? You're saying you wouldn't mind sharing him with me?]Annie said jokingly but what surprised us is what Mikasa said next.

[If Eren wanted that I would be fine with it. While if it was another girl I don't like that idea I'm oddly fine with the idea of you dating him too.]Mikasa said.

[Mikasa. You know what you're saying, right?]I asked her with a shocked expression since I never expected her to be like this and can feel she's actually fine with it but also confused, probably with herself, and Annie going through a torment of emotions but she was actually able to keep her normal, stoic expression.

[Don't get your hopes up Eren. Sorry but you're not my type.]She said after her feelings calmed down but noticed she that's she's also feeling confused for some reason. But distracting us before things got awkward a Cadet came and told me that Keith wanted to see me in his office.

[Alright. See you guys later.]I said after getting up and started walking to Keith's office and I knock and hear him tell me to come in and do and close the door behind me.

[Eren Yaeger.]He said.

[Yes sir!]I said while saluting.

[So I've heard from other Cadets that you want to join the Survey Corps.]He said.

[Yes sir!]I replied back.

[Good. Because you've been top of your class since the beginning and it got the attention of people higher up and they've offered you to join the Survey Corps early. So how you feel about graduating early?
