Chapter Text
Annie's legs dangled lazily off her friend's bed, as she aimlessly strummed the ukulele she had picked up off of the floor. With a sly smile drawn across her face, she began to strum some simple chords, propping her back gently against the metal framing of the cradle that encompassed her and a tense mikasa, face down in a physics textbook. When she invited her over to study, Annie didn't truly expect such, and as payback for this breaking of an unspoken promise to Annie, she resolved to agitate her soft-featured friend by any means available - one such being cradled in her lap.
"I was scared of dentists and the dark," Annie's lips closed into her traditional smirk from the off-key harmony with her instrument, widening, seeing Mikasa's eyes glance from the book to stare curiously, with only a hint of hostility, into Annie's. Struggling to maintain composure at the sudden intimacy - Annie resting shoulder-to-shoulder with the now successfully agitated girl, blushing only slightly - continued "I was scared of pretty girls-" she briefly averted gaze "and starting conversation." Mikasa's book suddenly closed as she shifted vaguely towards the blonde instigator of the unfolding scenario, rattling Annie noticeably.
"You were scared of me, eh?" A sly smile upon Mikasa's lips. A deep scarlet across her face being almost as much of a tell as her stammer, Annie responded "it's the lyrics to a song Mik, s-shuddup." A wider smile now presented itself on Mikasa's face, now slightly leaning towards Annie.
"You didn't deny that I'm pretty." A soft mockering tone to her otherwise expressionless statement as Annie only went more red.
"I, uh, baby, running down to the Riptide" Annie desperately tried to hide her embarrassment in her playing, proved unsuccessful when a soft hand hooked around her strumming figures, and dragged them down into Mikasa's lap.
"Taken away by the dark side" Annie murmured without any instrumental playing, eyes locked onto their now holding hands.
"Go on, finish it." Mikasa now had a slight domineering command to her voice that caused Annie to hiccup slightly and her heart to flutter.
"I wanna be your right han-" Mikasa, in one swift motion, disarmed the ukulele from Annie's weak grasp and straddled herself onto her lap.
"-h, hand man. Uh, mik you-" the butterflies into her stomach exploded as Mikasa leaned in and placed her head against Annie's, only centimeters from her lips.
"You wanna be mine?" Mikasa's voice thick with longing. Annie's face only deepened, her look of panic readable from a mile away, as she slightly nodded and felt her second hand get taken up with her first, and both lifted to rest palm-up on the top of her head. One slumped back against the bed Mikasa took one hand to gently caress Annie's soft jawline, drawing her index finger along her cheek, up and back down her nose, and drew a thumb up slowly to her lips. A smile drew upon Mikasa's face as her thumb lowered, and filled the gap between their lips. Mikasa took no time in filling her previously empty hand with a large clump of Annie's hair, and drew her deeper into the kiss, as Annie started to push back against her with her lips, and drew the two up to become perpendicular to the bed. The two broke apart momentarily to breathe and gaze into each other's eyes, before meeting in the middle between them, Annie digging her nails slightly into Mikasa's neck; her in turn lifting Annie's shirt and digging deeply into her back.
After what felt like a lifetime the two broke the passionate kiss, gasping for breath. Struggling for words, Annie was relieved as Mikasa filled the void, " god, this is much better than beating you to the floor just to look into those crystal eyes of yours" and chuckled slightly. Annie, too, chuckled and retorted " There were much easier ways to stare into my eyes than losing to me every week in PE." Mikasa jovially pouted and responded "that's not how I remember PE going at all!"
"Oh yeah! Prove it." Annie laughed, ceasing as Mikasa proceeded to fulfill her wish and pin her against the bed.
"God, if I had known all it took was poorly singing 'riptide' to get you to pin me to your bed, I'd have known the cords off by heart." A smile reformed across Annie's face as it now became mikasa blushing profusely. Flustered, and lacking the words for a response, Mikasa drew her into another deep kiss. As they broke, Annie simply murmured " I'll always be your right hand man." And pressed a small kiss on the blushing girl's forehead.
"W-We should get back to revising" Mikasa looking vaguely dazed as she suggested such, causing Annie to lift her back up.
"Yeah, but it's much more fun to look into those pretty gems of yours." She winked as Mikasa looked down, caught off guard at the now intentional compliment. "Do you know how long I've waited to tell you how amazing you are?" Annie continued, high off the exhilaration the environment had manifested, " How long I've wanted to stare deep, deep into your eyes-" she pushed Mikasa gently up against the back of the bed frame, " -and whisper quietly into your ear-" she paused for dramatic effect, slowly guiding her cheek along Mikasa's up to her ear, " and say 'you look so beautiful -" she cupped Mikasa's face with her right hand, her left at the back of Mikasa's knee, slowly lifting her leg up as Annie leaned over her lean body, " - I want you. I just never knew you felt the same way.'" Mikasa was left stunned, both hands resting gently on Annie's hips as she slowly descended to now be the one straddling Mikasa's lap. Annie traced her face with her hand from Mikasa's knee, drawing the outline, and caressing what she could.
They sat like that, both fluctuating from caressing, to grabbing behind the neck to pull the other into a rough, or soft kiss, finally breaking at the sound of Eren returning home.
"Oh fuck!" Annie breathed, chuckling slightly, "I was meant to leave an hour ago." Mikasa beamed slightly, and responded "it's fine, it was worth it, you becoming mine, baby" Annie blushed at the dumb nickname, " you're not giving me pet names based off fucking 'riptide'!" The two broke off into a fit of laughter, not realising the door had become ajar with Eren appearing to say hello, "Hey, I'm back, I- are you guys-?" Annie looked to see her reflected look of shock in Mikasa's panicked eyes, widening as they became aware of the position they were in. Quickly composing herself, Annie lent in, whispered "see you tomorrow, okay?", gave a quick kiss on the nose to Mikasa, got up, and strode out the door, remarking "later, Jeagar.", as she passed him, beginning to blush furiously as soon as she heard "see you tomorrow, babe!" call out from the room behind her. Hearing the ensuing tidal wave of questions from Eren whilst she tied her shoes, Annie softly chuckled to herself wondering 'what song should I bring to her tomorrow?' As she slowly stepped out of the residency of her now girlfriend.
