First Day as Cadets

Standing in lines, the cadets can be seen being shouted at by a bald man, this man being Keith. Currently, he is trying to put the fear of God into a bowl-headed blond who is answering all his questions with a loud voice, but his face shows disinterest.

Armin was being yelled at by Keith who was taller than him, his face was more angular, and his body had more muscles than he had a month ago. And all he could give thanks for was the reason why Keith didn't scare him.

"Look me in the eyes!" Armin listened and looked at his eyes, Keith couldn't understand why the boy wasn't scared but noticed Armin slightly looking at Eren from time to time. Keith decided to follow his gut and walked up to Eren's face, getting up close and personal.

Eren had a very lean and angular face, he was 5ft5, had short brown hair, piercing Green eyes, a light tan, and a lean but muscular build. Eren's Green eyes were sharp to the look and had an almost predator feel to it, which Keith could feel as he got closer.

"Name and district!" Keith yelled, from the observer's point of view it may seem weird that Keith would go to Eren but didn't care enough to look too into it.

Keith stood there, waiting for Eren's reply but gained none after a full minute. Most of the recruits felt sweat grow down their face and throats, in fear of Keith lashing out at everyone because of Eren. Keith opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted.

"Eren Yeager, from Shinganishina district." Keith turned to his left to see Mikasa, she then spoke.

"He doesn't speak much." Keith would've left this subject if she had said that he doesn't speak because of a disability, but hearing that it was a choice increased his anger. However, looking at Eren's face it looked like he wouldn't even scratch the boy's mind, so he went to someone that would be close to Eren.

"Give me your name! And why the fuck I should listen to you!?"

"Mi-!" However, Mikasa was cut off short.

"I asked for your name! How hard is it to say your name!?" And this would continue, even when she said her name Keith would belittle her and ask again. Most felt bad for Mikasa, as she hadn't done something bad but it was mostly guys liking Mikasa's appearance.

Mikasa was 5ft3, with long black hair, sparkly black eyes, pale-skinned, lean build, and a pretty girl. Every man's dream.

However, only two people noticed something wrong, Eren's left hand was seen clenching with such strength with facial emotion. The two Armin and a blonde girl in front of Eren, Armin feeling the danger were about to spring into action to stop Eren only to be left in the dust literally.

As dust picked up, Eren's fist fell toward an unsuspecting Keith and Mikasa was able to see his fist coming while also being fast enough to push Keith. Originally, Keith thought he got on Mikasa's nerves and she pushed him in retaliation only to see a fist woosh past his face.

Woosh!

The strike picked up a little dust, showing the potential outcome for Keith if he stayed in that one spot and instantly saw Armin fly and piggyback Eren, while Mikasa stood in front of Keith.

The scene was kind of comical, seeing Armin being flailed around while Mikasa stood in front preventing him from moving forward, however, eventually, people started to see how this might end if Eren wasn't stopped so some reluctantly started helping Armin with little to show for.

After a minute, Eren started slowing down and eventually into a stop, when this happened Armin jumped off with the other people who helped and Mikasa hugged Eren but Eren's eyes never left Keith making him nervous.

After a few hours, the cadets were led to the canteen where they got food and sat to begin eating. Eren and Mikasa sat side by side, while Armin was talking to a new face.

"Armin, that was crazy what you did. You looked like a man in a drugged horse!" 

"It wasn't that bad, Connie." Armin chuckled, he was talking to Connie, Thomas, and Marco. They had become acquainted after Eren calmed down and talked more after they left Keith.

"Man, I can't believe potato girl got forced to run. And I won't lie, Keith has some balls to continue that whole introduction after your friend Eren almost Merced him." Connie commented, walking to an empty table.

Armin had looked at Eren and Mikasa, only to get a nod of approval from Mikasa while Eren just looked at him and Armin for some reason got the feeling of pride from Eren's eyes. They didn't have their normal hunter pride but were more fatherly.

Eren and Mikasa continued to eat, Mikasa at times giving Eren food from her plate for him to try while he did the same back to her. Eventually, the two finished and began to talk even though on the outside it looked like a one-sided conversation, in actuality, Eren was responding in different ways that only Mikasa understood.

"So Eren, what do you think so far of our first day?" Eren looked at Mikasa and held her hand tightly, she smiled and held his hand back.

"Don't worry, the instructor was just doing that for training. Nothing more." She then laid a kiss on his cheek.

Then Eren wrapped his arm around her and hugged Mikasa, they stayed like this when a group of people walked up to them. Mikasa saw Armin with them and she smiled at him.

"Armin, how was your first day?" Armin blushed slightly at the question, due to all of Connie's teasing about what happened before.

"It was okay. Can we sit with you?"

"Sure." Mikasa then shuffled into Eren more as Armin sat next to her and the others sat in front or next to Eren.

They then began to talk about what their life at their home was like, while some asked more personal questions like lifestyles.

"Mikasa, how did you spend your time before joining the cadets?" 

"Hmm." Mikasa put her finger on her lip while some others joined the table, also curious.

"Well, since me, Eren, and Armin are orphans of Shinganishina. Meaning we had to work at the farms, but my free time if Eren was around was cleaning his hunting equipment and cloak."

Hearing this they looked at Eren.

"You hunt?" Connie asked, Mikasa nodded and held Eren's arm tighter.

"It was so cool, he'd bring deers and more." Armin spoke, and everyone agreed that it was cool but was still nervous due to Eren's last outburst.

"Uh, I have a question." Everyone turned to Thomas.

"Why did you attack Instructor Keith?" Hearing this everyone around them started asking the same question.

"Yeah, why did you do that?"

"I mean it was sweet, but it was still bad."

More and more of them commented, but unlike what they expected Eren and Mikasa didn't react, meanwhile, Armin was stuttering trying to defend Eren.

"Come on guys, it's not like that. Eren was just... umm." He looked towards Eren and Mikasa in the hope of their backup, only to see their empty seats.

Outside the canteen, Jean looks at the back of two people walking away arm in arm. And sighed.

"Man, why couldn't that be me? Tch, that man's just a psycho." And just as Jean was turning away, he felt himself freeze.

He looked at his left hand, it was shaking uncontrollably, he realized his breath quivered, and his eyes shook, his pupils dilated. He noticed his goosebumps showing, he slowly turned to behind him and he saw the two people hugging.

However, the male's eyes were targeting him and he could've sworn that his eyes were stabbing his chest. Slowly entering the canteen, Jean felt the sensation from before disappear and his nerves cooled.

"What the hell."

Eren looked back at Mikasa and her face was in his chest, sniffing his scent and holding him tightly. Slowly, they let go of each other and Mikasa's smile was wide, which made Eren feel a sense of happiness causing him to kiss her.

After a few short moments, they released the kiss and hugged again. Eren then reached into his pocket grabbed a ribbon and used it to tie up her hair.

Mikasa feeling this smiled, and with a final kiss they left each other to go to their dorms to sleep for the next day.
