Mikasa raised an eyebrow as she watched her oldest friend try to talk himself into flirting with a complete stranger in front of his very own boyfriend, her foolish little brother. 

Ah yes, little brother, something she'd forever be able to hold over him by being born those few extra months before him. Armin adored being the baby, he's the baby so why wouldn't he. But Eren, he was stuck as a middle child .. sucks for him. 

She loves her family, she really did. She kept her promise to Carla, she was protecting Eren with everything she had. She kept her promise to Armin's Grandfather to always look out for him. She was keeping to both promises even as their beloves parents were long since dead. She made sure to care and love her family, to keep them safe. 

But she couldn't protect either of them from stupidity. Such as, Eren idiocy by flirting with other's while wearing his uniform and strolling the camp as a well known name in the survey corps. 

All of them were famous, it's what made their friendship circle so tight and lasting. They all had each other, lost friends and love ones. Only had each other and their partners left. Turning their backs to the world that sent them out to be eaten by the enemy without enough supplies or manpower while blaming and punishing them whenever someone died. 

Fighting through the ranks, knocking heads and mostly doing a munity got them where they were now. Some as captains, Jean as Commander, and the rest their squads. They changed the survey corps for the better, became popular while kicking some titan naked butt and actual making a change for the good. 

Meant everyone wanted to cuddle up to them, some wanting to get into their pants to brag and others wanted to try and slip a ring on their finger. They were all being hunted by the rest of the walls for one thing or another. Out of love, hero worship, jealousy or hate. They were always being chased and attacked. 

Eren loved the attention as did Connie and Sasha at first. But the two soon got sick of it, leaving Eren to still feel giggly whenever someone checked him out, flirted or tried getting into his small circle of family. 

Leaving Armin to witness his beloved but annoying boyfriend doing it all right before his very eyes. Being well known childhood friends meant that everyone assumed it stayed that way even after years of passing. Mikasa pitied Armin sometimes, would watch everyone within their group argue with their lovers and be reminded why the single life was so easy and good sometimes. 

Mikasa met with Annie's eyes across the room, the MP captain having snuck in after her shift to see her boyfriends and share a drink with them after learning they've returned to the walls a day earlier than said. 

The two weren't best of friends but they held a truce and were much more alike than either will ever like or admit out loud. It helped them get along when needed and judge everyone else around them together. 

Annie was their old friend within the MP, she helped warn them over certain shady orders or trouble heading towards them due to their latest famous act rubbing the MP's in the wrong way. She also understood why the Survey Corps never fully used the correct dates over when they returned to the walls, stopping anything from "breaking" by "accident" like it had in the past. This way, they get to return to the walls without trouble or incident. 

Annie sent a small nod in return, her back melted into Reiner's chest while Berthold was pretty must asleep, laying over her front and head resting in the nook of her neck. Reiner's arms around the pair of them in his lap, still drinking and laughing away with Connie. Sasha happily eating away at the four plates placed on the table, legs thrown over Connie's lap as one of his thumbs soothingly rubbed against her trouser leg. 

Ymir had dragged Historia back towards the castle an hour ago after a heated make up session began. The two had only came for a quick visit once hearing their return, knowing their regular pub after a expedition and checking they were all alive and held all body parts. They never stayed long unless it's an official visit, Historia life risk to assassin attacks after all. 

Jean was sat closer to them, having argued with Eren more than once already. Marco sat in his lap. Jean having one arm around Marco's waist while Maroc's arm was around his neck. 

All the couples were cuddled up and openly in love. Leaving Eren and Armin looking like the odd ones out but Eren wasn't openly romantic. Armin was a sweet romance, doing the little things and happy to just hold hands or lean his side into Eren's. But neither was as cuddly as the rest of their group. 

"Are you sure about this?" Jean asked as he glanced to the baby of the group

"He let go of my hand to talk with that.. that ... that nice women that looked pretty in her new blue dress" Armin huffed back angrily, struggling to insult the lady his boyfriend let go of his hand to speak with earlier but failing to insult her and just ending with a compliment instead. 

"Not the word I would use to explain her while heated up" Marco commented drily as he leaned his forehead against his boyfriend's cheek. His mug of beer forgotten on the table for the most part as he was already tipsy after one glass earlier. 

"Be nice, angel. He's too innocent to curse or insult anyone out loud" Jean lightly scolded his other half, pressing a kiss to his cheek before turning back to keep his full attention on the conversation. 

"Maybe talk with Eren first? He might have just assumed you were okay with it all since he was like this before you two finally got together" Marco offered up some advise, sending a caring smile towards Armin as he didn't want to see the other man uncomfortable or upset from regretting this tomorrow. They couldn't even blame it on the beer since Armin never drank, the taste making him feel sick. 

"You guys couldn't have waited another year before finally confessing your feelings. I lost the bet thanks to you" Jean grumbled back, sulking over losing the bet over the childhood couple that had all of them wanting to kill them at some point for being so obvious but clueless to each other. 

"Sorry- Hang on! You guys made a bet on us" Armin started to apologize before perking up and realizing what he said. 

"On every couple in our group. It's our love betting pool. We all betted on the date or time of the date if people chose the same date or month on when a couple would get together" Mikasa admitted with a small shrug as everyone but Armin and Eren was involved in adding bets to the group's love life. The two were so distracting being jealous and puppy love eyeing each other that they missed out on everyone else's clear signs of a love life. 

"Annie surprised me. I thought she was happy to single forever. She never showed signs of holding any romance interest before" Jean confessed as he looked over his clear shoulder towards the poly couple who were now mostly talking among themselves as Connie and Sasha went for a dance. 

"I think only Mikasa betted for her to gain any romance in her life. We were all expecting her to be the one women army single lady forever since she hates people" Marco pointed out with pure honestly as everyone assumed that Annie didn't deal with feelings for others. 

"She hates everyone but her boyfriends. She's always cared deeply for them and held a crush for them since our training days" Mikasa corrected with a smug tone, rather proud over the payout she got for the three of them getting together and announcing  it. 

"How did you notice that when I didn't? I've always noticed romance gossip happening around me" Armin whispered-yelled in outrage over not spotting it first when he normally noticed small details in people like this before. 

"You didn't even notice over our groups love betting pool" Jean pointed out as he lifted his mug of beer towards him before taking a sip. 

"Not the point. I've always noticed small details and took notice over people's feelings in the early stages" Armin huffed back, shaking his head at the group who all chuckled. 

"Because you had a crush on Annie when she gained a crush for both her boyfriends. Thank god your crush went away and you never actually stopped being in love with Eren-" Mikasa started to say with a pointed look before being silenced by a hand slapping over her mouth. 

"Shh! We agreed not to talk about that part out loud. Eren thinks my crush was recent enough to just before we started dating all those years ago" Armin whined back like a child, his cheeks rosy from embarrassment over the others learning that Eren was his first love. 

"Ooo, gossip" Marco squealed back. 

"Leave the baby alone. It's sweet he's ended up with his first love" Jean grinned back, smiling like a proud father towards Armin over finding out he ended up with a first love. 

"Not important. What is important is me finding someone to dance with" Armin snapped back as he glared to where his boyfriend is currently on the dance floor, having snuck away to dance with someone who had asked during their whole conversation. Armin was going to show Eren what it feels like to be dropped for a stranger than returned too afterwards. Maybe his boyfriend would finally learn to stop acting as if he's single all the time. 

"Anyone looking cute to you right now?" Jean asked as he glanced around the pub, looking for someone sitting along or an easy target for Armin to pick. Armin wasn't the best at flirting or making any moves. This was going to be a first for him and it was best to avoid any jerky looking targets. 

"Eren but I'm mad at him so he's automatically ugly right now" Armin anwsered so honestly while pouting that the other three just stared at him for a full minute. 

"Anyone who isn't your boyfriend that you find handsome?" Mikasa asked next, glancing around and spotting her brother laughing with Connie over something while Sasha and Eren's dance partner were doing their side of the dance. 

"Him. But he's talking to someone" Armin announced, nodding towards the bar where two younger males were talking together, leaning against the bar sideways with untouched drinks. 

"I'll deal with the shorty. You just make a move on his friend" Mikasa replied as she shuffled out of the booth, patting down her skirt a little. 

"What if I chicken out or can't hold his attention long enough to ask?" Armin worriedly asked as he slowly sat up, his nerves already getting the better of him. 

"Follow my lead" Mikasa sighed as she took hold of his hand and headed towards the bar. 

"This is going to be fun" Marco whispered with a huge, face splitting grin. Shuffling on his boyfriend lap to face towards the bar's direction. 

It didn't take long for the whole friendship group to notice Mikasa dragging Armin to the bar. All eyes, including Eren's, suddenly on the pair as they tried working out what was happening now. Half of them ready to join in for a fight and the other half ready to stop a fight. Reiner even woke Berthold to make sure he didn't miss out on any shows about to happen. 

Mikasa slowed down, stopping near the two strangers and checking that Armin was ready enough before tapping the taller blonde's arm. Gaining both him and his handsome shorter friend's attention. 

Mikasa did the speaking, pulling Armin forward and releasing his hand to let him be easily dragged off. The shorter friend spoke next, making Mikasa turn her attention onto him and clearly both seemed irritated. Armin and the taller blonde shared nervous smiles and worried looks, speaking at the same time to calm their friends down before a fight did break out. 

Mikasa seeming to be sick of the argument first and full on grabbed the shorter man's collar and yanked him off the ground. Pressing their lips togehter and shutting the other man up rather quickly. Jaws feel open, eyes popping up as no one believed what the were witnessing. 

Mikasa Ackerman, humanity's strongest, just made a move on somebody. 

The whole pub was in an out roar once she pulled away, dropping the shorter man back down so he could stand by himself. She looked towards Armin, giving him an encouraging nod and Armin apologized to the taller blonde as he grabbed his hand and ran off towards the dance floor. 

Annie, Jean and Sasha were soon cheering and whooping from the show they witnessed. Sending grins and thumbs up towards Mikasa for making a move for once in her life instead of throwing a punch instead. Reiner and Eren both stood in shock while Connie and Berthold were left trying to snap them out of it. 

Armin was happily dancing merrily with his newly gained friend. 

"That counts as harassment" The man mentioned as he stayed staring at Mikasa, still taking in the unexpected kiss. 

"I've reached my hitting limit until tomorrow" Mikasa confessed with a shrug as she's given a hitting limit between each expedition. Tomorrow begins a new starting date leading up to the next expedition and resets her limit. 

"I could report you" The guy warned with an raised eyebrow, wondering why she was so calm about this. 

"Captain Mikasa Ackerman. My Commander is over there. Report once you're ready. You've got plenty of witnesses in this room to prove your complaint" Mikasa introduced herself and Jean, nodding to where he was sitting and giving butterfly kisses to Marco. 

"My friend has a girlfriend" The guy sighed, knowing he wasn't going to actual complain. 

"My friend has a boyfriend. He just needed to dance with someone who didn't seem like a pervert or jerk. You're friend seemed a good enough guy out of our pick" Mikasa admits as she nods to where Eren was murderously glaring towards the poor guy's friend still dancing with Armin and seeming to have a pleasant conversation. 

"And so I'm a jerk or a pervert?" The guy smirks back, lifting an amused eyebrow. 

"Can you prove otherwise?"  Mikasa shoots back with a small amused grin. 

"Levi, I'm in the survey crops" Levi finally introduces himself, offering his hand towards her and willing she's not so bad anymore. 

"Levi has insane cadet Hanji's friend? The girlfriend to poor and looking grey already Moblit?" Mikasa asks surprise as she's heard over him before, heard the rumours over how skilled he was. He fell into Eren's care but they had been thinking over moving him into her own care due to his rare skills needing to be trained. 

"You know Hanji?" Levi asks a little shock. 

"I gave permission for her to marry Moblit. And I'm sent whenever she blows something up during her cleaning duties" Mikasa confesses with a grimace as she was happily going to pass Hanji onto Eren's lap by next week. 

"You're the captain that Moblit thanks the lord for having in his life. She listens to you" Levi snorts back as he's heard Moblit pray his thanks towards the lords over a certain captain helping him deal with his wife. 

"For now. Once she makes Captain I'm sure she'd stop listening" Mikasa warns with a small shrug, knowing once Hanji gains more power she'd go completely mad. 

"Most likely true. Fancy a drink? I've still got time to prove I'm not a pervert" Levi offers up with a smirk, waving down the bartender. 

"And a jerk?" Mikasa reminds him amused. 

"I'm honest enough to admit I'm a jerk at least" Levi smirks back, gaining a laugh from the older women. 

"A drink sounds great" Mikasa smiles back, feeling rather hopeful over her catch.
