A/N: So I really like Ereannie…and Eremika…and Ereasha…and Erekuri…so here's an Ereannie story. If you're following my 104 stories of the 104th then you'll recognize it. I feel it needed its own story and I plan on continuing it here rather than the one-shot collection. Yay.

Annie sat alone at the bar, her two guy friends abandoning her for other women. Why did she ever agree to this stupid idea? A night of drinking to celebrate the fact that Bertholdt aced his first biology quiz? So what? He's had straight A's in all three previous years of college. Reiner was probably just looking for excuses to party because it was their senior year, and they were almost done with school…well besides Bertholdt and Armin who were going to be going to medical school. Annie huffed as she lifted her Vodka and Juice to her mouth, sipping it.

She turned her head to the sounds of the door opening and saw Armin, Mikasa, and Sasha walk in. She sighed in relief, although surprised to see that their normal third wasn't with them. The three sat at the bar, not quite next to Annie, but close enough to talk to. Mikasa locked eyes with Annie, and for a split second, there was nothing else in the world. Hatred spewed out of charcoal colored eyes, and was met with pure loathing and jealousy from icy blue ones. Mikasa could read anyone's emotions through their eyes pretty well, especially with all of them. They had all went to high school and now college together. Mikasa smiled at what she saw. Just seeing the effect that Mikasa had on the ever so envious Annie, made her day, no matter what had happened earlier on.

Annie turned away. Reiner told her that the only way she showed physical emotion was through her eyes. She didn't want to give Mikasa anymore satisfaction. She went for another sip, but realized that in the short time that the three had walked in, she had downed her drink. Not a good sign. But…Fuck it. I need this. Annie ordered another drink, a White Russian, and began sipping it. The door opened again.

Jean and Marco walked in, hand and hand. They were the only couple that Annie had known to make it together through high school and so far through college. Connie and Sasha broke up a year ago when Sasha caught Connie and some girl making out at a party. It was sad. Annie actually disliked the couple the least compared to all the other ones that had surfaced within the group of friends. Mina Carolina and Thomas Wagner walked in right behind them. Thomas immediately went to the bar and bought a couple girls some drinks, while Mina sat next to Annie.

"Hey, girl!" She half shrieked, smile wide on her face.

Annie just turned to her and blinked a couple times.

"Didja hear about Mikasa setting the record in the 400 meter dash for Trost Central University? That's so impressive!" Mina said enthusiastically.

"Yeah. I heard." Annie mumbled into her drink, which was already half gone. I have got to slow down.

Mina sensed the annoyance in Annie's voice and decided to leave the conversation at that. Mina ordered a beer as the two sat in silence. Mina was Annie's best friend. She knew when to leave her alone about something. Unless it came to…

The door opened again and much to everyone's surprise Professor Levi and Professor Hanji walked in. Levi was TCU's Biology professor and Hanji was the Chemistry. Levi walked towards the bar and ordered them a couple drinks, while Hanji walked over to where Bertholdt was and told the girl he was attempting to flirt with exactly who Bertholdt was.

"Listen, girly. This is one of the most brilliant students I've ever had. He's going to be a great doctor and in five years could land any girl he puts his eyes on. Play nice and good luck." Hanji boomed.

Bertholdt stared at her in shock, while the girl registered at what was just said. She moved closer to him and whispered, something to him and they both got up and walked towards the door. Before they reached it, the girl turned around and said, loudly, to Reiner and the small blonde girl he was talking to, "Play safe, you blonde buff moron. If I hear you do something Christa doesn't like, I'll beat you senseless."

Before Reiner could say anything, Christa piped up, "Yeah well, be nice to Bertholdt. I had him in Calculus, and he's a sweetheart. Just sweats when nervous. So a Sweatheart!"

Reiner roared with laughter along with most of the rest of the group in there. Hanji smiled, and Levi raised his glass. Bertholdt was quiet, so Levi liked him…or tolerated him is more accurate. The two left without a word.

Annie's scowl had even soften a bit at the joke. She finished her drink and ordered another, this time a gin and juice, promising herself that she wouldn't drink this one nearly as fast.

The door opened again and this time a couple unidentified men walked in, laughing loudly, obvious that this wasn't their first bar of the night.

Annie felt the alcohol kick in slightly. A nice buzz. Mina talked about her classes, but Annie didn't really listen. She was more focused on the black haired girl, talking loudly about her best friend that she was madly in love with. She never said it out loud to anyone, besides….

Three months ago

Annie sat watching some of the boys play beer pong. She was pretty drunk herself and was attempting to muster up the courage to talk to a certain brown haired boy, but that would have to wait. Mikasa sat next to her and stared at her for a couple seconds. Annie stared back.

"Listen Annie. Why can't we just be friends…" Mikasa started, words slurred.

"Maybe I'd like that." Annie fired back, turning back to the boys. Instantly her eyes locked with beautiful green eyes. The owner of the emerald gems for eyes flashed her a grin, which she returned with a rare little smile with a small blush. Mikasa followed her gaze and saw the exchange. The brown haired boy was called back to his beer pong game. Mikasa stared daggers into Annie.

"Listen you tiny little cunt. I love him. He's mine. Learn your fucking place." Mikasa rarely swore and walked away before Annie could even reply.

Current day

"He'll be here soon! He said he left his apartment fifteen minutes ago!" Mikasa announced.

Barely finishing her statement, the door opened and walked in the same brown haired boy that the tall raven haired girl and the short blue eyed girl loved. He looked around the bar, flexing his neck as he did so. Eren…I want to lick that neck of yours and down your chest…Annie thought. She immediately looked down at her drink and realized it was gone. She had had three drinks within the last fifteen minutes. Oh, fuck I'm drunk.

Eren waved and walked towards Mikasa, Armin, and Sasha, taking a seat and ordering a Dr. Kraken (Kraken Spiced Rum and Dr. Pepper. My, Auric's, choice drink). His grin melted Annie, even if it wasn't directed at her.

"Go over there and say something to him!" Mina whispered

Annie just stared at Eren. There was no way in hell she was going to do that. Eren looked over to her and gave her a confused look. Why. Why am I so damn attracted to you? You're loud, headstrong, and fucking hot. I mean…shit. No! God. Such a pain in the ass. Nothing bothers me as much as you do and yet here I am staring at your handsome face, half drooling over you and…OH MY GOD I'M STILL STARING. Annie looked away, with a small blush, furious with herself. She dared a small glance and seeing that Eren was talking to Mikasa, her crossing her arms under her chest to support her chest, pushing her bust up more. A cheap trick.

Eren didn't seem to notice though and just kept drinking his Dr. Kraken. When he finished, he ordered another, but slipped the bartender a piece of paper. Annie looked back at her drink, feeling defeated. Once again she had lost to Mikasa. There were only two things Annie could be that bitch at: Basketball and embarrassing herself in front of Eren.

Twenty minutes passed by, Annie entertaining herself with the football game that was on TV, while Mina and Thomas started talking about class. Levi and Hanji had left, along with Reiner and Christa. Jean and Marco had disappeared into the bathroom, no one wanting to go in there. Mikasa was significantly drunk, trying her best to flirt with Eren who was too busy finishing his fourth Dr. Kraken and watching the game as well. A man Annie had never seen before sat down next to her and leaned towards her. He was about thirty five, blonde hair, and brown eyes. An interesting combination. Semi-attractive. But of course Annie already knew she wasn't interested.

"Hey there, beautiful. What's a pretty girl like you doing all alone at this bar?" The man asked. "My name's Carlson."

Before Annie could reply, the bartender came up. "Annie, was it? Someone in this bar bought you a drink. They wish to remain anonymous," He said as he put down Gin and Juice.

Annie just blinked at the drink and downed it in one go. She then turned her attention to the man. "Not interested"

"Oh come on, baby, let me show you a good time." He fired back

"No."

"Why the fuck not, sugartits?"

Before Annie could even think of a retort, a hand appeared on the man's shoulder. "Is there a problem her." Annie turned to see Eren, staring at the man, face cold and unwelcoming. He was an Outside Linebacker for TCU so the muscles in his arm and hand flexed intimidated the unknowing stranger.

"Not at all. Beat it, kid"

"Eren…he's bothering me" Annie stammered out. Holy fuck I'm drunk.

Eren just stared at the man. His eyes danced with anger. Eren had one hell of a temper and with all the workouts that football had him do, made him a dangerous man. Especially after all the drinks he had had. Eren then did something that no one expected. He grabbed Annie by the hand and pulled her out of her seat. He led her to the door and threw it open. Still holding her hand, Eren led her down the street before stopping and signaling for a cab.

"Where are we going?" Annie asked, still in shock.

"I'm dropping off at your place." Eren replied through slurred words.

Fuck that. Fuck no. Fuck you. Hopefully. "Your place is closer. Let's go there," Annie said, stepping a tad closer to Eren.

Eren just stared at her as the cab pulled up. "If you say so," is all Eren replied with, opening the cab door for her.
