    annie quietly entered her room inside the military police's building, dirty and sweaty with her eyes darker than usual. she finally finished the task hitch had given her days before. it wasn't easy. she did almost transform into a titan, if someone saw that titan arm with her in the back alley, she would be in huge trouble too.

     and she had important plans for tomorrow. it would be a pain in the ass if she couldn't attend.

     annie sighed as she started removing her ruined uniform, scrunching up her face as she saw the dried up blood that seeped into her white jacket. she was about to remove it and dump it somewhere when she heard the rustling of blankets and a tired yawn behind her. she turned around quickly, alarmed and ready to kill, before remembering that she had a roommate.

     you yawned once again, catching sight of annie with the help of the moonlight seeping through the window. "annie?" your voice was groggy and tired as you sat up, rubbing your eyes. "what's shaking?" the blonde could only stare at you, dumbfounded before remembering that you could say the weirdest things after waking up.

     "what the- is that blood?!" you seemed fully awake now after seeing her bloody clothes while she stood there in confusion. you got down from the bunk bed, rushing to annie's side in concern. the said blonde looked down at the dried-up blood and bit her lip; she had no idea how to explain it, considering her gunshot wound had already healed.

     "what happened? you were only going to solve a missing case and now you're here, hurt and bleeding!" you sat her down beside the desk as you shuffled around the room in a panic state to look for your first-aid kit.

     "i'm okay, y/n. no need to worry. this is just blood from a, uhm, disturbance." annie attempted to stand up but you only shook your head. you placed the first aid kit on the desk, sighing softly as you inspected your friend.

     "i hope you didn't kill them," you jokingly said, unaware of the fact that annie had tensed up, thinking that you already knew what had happened. however, she soon relaxed when she realized that she was only kidding. you cupped annie's face, leaning in closer to check if she had any cuts on her pale skin.

     "you have a cut and a bruise." you didn't waste any time and got to work, cleaning her cut carefully with a clean cloth. annie would flinch or hiss at the pain, to which you'd apologize. it was quiet for a few minutes and annie took this chance to memorize your features; the way your eyes seemed to light up, mouth quirking up as you continued disinfecting her wounds or how you'd blow away the strands of your hair that fell from your loose bun.

     both of your faces were close to each other and annie tried her best not to disturb you. it was hard not to kiss the person she grew attached to, especially when you look irresistible. if only she could do so without startling you, she would've done it ages ago.

     once you finished attending to her wounds, you smiled proudly before noticing how close you were. you backed up immediately, blush coating your cheeks as you cleared your throat. "s-sorry about that. uhm, you need to get an ice pack for that bruise soon."

     annie couldn't help but smile at your flustered state, finding amusement in how you were acting. you, on the other hand, were shocked to see annie look so carefree and smiling. you always thought that she was emotionless, cold-hearted even, but her smile directed at you proved otherwise.

     "you should s-smile often." you stuttered out, your eyes focused on the ground instead. you cursed at yourself for stuttering in front of annie. now it was very obvious that you caught feelings for your lovely roommate.

     "okay, i'll smile only for you." annie replied bluntly with the same amused grin that tore her face. your heart picked up the speed at this and you tried to stop the growing grin on your face by biting your lip.

     keyword: tried.

     "i... okay," you whispered in embarrassment before standing up to put the kit back to its original place. annie, wanting to tease you more, gripped your wrist and pulled you back down until the two of you were face to face. you blinked, shocked and speechless when you came to gaze at her icy blue eyes.

     should i? annie's eyes flicked towards your gaping lips and thought to hell with it before crashing her lips on yours. her one hand clutched your neck as you froze, pulling you on her lap as she kissed you deeper. the heat on your cheeks only got hotter once you finally realized what was happening. you could only mutter out a surprised squeak, eyes wide while annie's were closed and relaxed.

     you couldn't even kiss back, mind clouded, and had stopped working while annie only smirked at this. the kiss continued, arms around you tightly, and when you finally regained your consciousness and were about to kiss back, annie pulled away with a sly smile. she licked her lips, snickering at how red-faced and embarrassed you look.

     "w-what was that for?!" you managed to squeak out. you panted heavily, eyes wide while your wrist was still trapped under annie's tight grip. you also noted the position the two of you are in; you are on top of her while she only looks up in amusement.

     "well, you looked really cute and i couldn't help myself." annie replied casually before finally letting go of your wrists. you took this as a sign to get up from her lap and you did so without any hesitation. you turned around, hiding your face behind your clammy hands as you tried to control your raging heart.

     annie chuckled to herself and took this as a chance to change her clothes while you had your back turned. "aren't you going back to sleep?" annie asked, picking up her clothes and throwing them in the basket filled with the other dirty clothes.

     you fanned yourself, biting your lower lip while scratching your arms. you turned to face annie who only looked at you curiously. "i... yeah, i am." you mumbled quietly, swallowing the lump in your throat. 

     the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed and you couldn't help but sigh. "i, uh, i hope this isn't just a joke to you. i do like you b-but if it is, we can forget about it. i understand, anyways." you softly smiled towards the blonde but annie knew better. she could see the tears that started to prick your eyes even if you tried your best to hide them.

     you didn't want to seem weak in front of the girl you like the most but the idea of getting played made your heartache. before you could even climb back on your bed, ready to get rid of this too-good-to-be-a-dream moment, annie stopped you from doing so.

     "wait," she called out, "sleep beside me tonight."
