"So explain this to me one more time, where did my breakfast go.."

     Bertholdt and Reiner's eyes flickered from the floor to the angry blonde that towered over them. Both boys were slightly disturbed at how frightening Annie could be although they were taller and seemingly bigger than her. However, they had to remember that at any point she could beat them both simultaneously without breaking a sweat. Reiner almost felt sick as his eyes landed on the victim. The mutilated box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch which he was so eager to tear through to find the prize that was inside for Bertholdt. Although, he didn't account for the amount of cereal left over in the box which was sitting in a pile near the trashcan after he tried to sweep it up only to be caught red handed by the blonde. Now, both of them were sitting on their knees in front of Annie starring anywhere but at her as to keep what shred of dignity they had left. But the blonde wasn't having that, she wanted answers and she wanted answers now.

     The box was practically putty in her hands as she curled it into a ball and dropped it onto Reiner's head. He flinched as though a boulder had been dropped on him only to receive a pitiful glance from Bertholdt. Annie's hands wrapped around the front of Reiner's shirt and she lifted him slightly so that they were face to face.

     "You tore through the box, spilled my favorite cereal and it was all over a toy."

     Although her voice was rather calm, there was a biting iciness to it that caused both of them to hold their breaths while she was talking. No one moved or blinked and if it wasn't for the sound of the doorbell, neither one of them would have breathed either. Annie sighed and released Reiner after a familiar knock rapped against the door, and upon opening it she was presented with a new box of cereal. Mikasa Ackerman in all of her shining glory seemed like a god in Bertholdt's eyes and he was so happy that he texted her upon Reiner's fatal mistake. Annie seemed slightly appeased as she took the box only to stand on the tips of her toes and place a kiss against Mikasa's lips.

     This made Bertholdt and Reiner's jaws drop as they looked towards one another and then back. Though something clicked in Bertholdt's head. Annie wasn't an early riser, how would she have known that Reiner had spilt cereal on the floor? Also, Annie's shirt seemed a lot bigger than normal and Mikasa's scarf was missing from her neck. His suspicion was cleared once Mikasa walked in and wrapped an arm around Annie's waist after shutting the door and locking it. The two passed by the stunned teenagers as they made their way to the kitchen. On the coat rack near the door, a red scarf was dangling from one of the hooks awaiting its owner's arrival.

     "Wait, hold on, are they-"

     Leave it to Reiner to figure things out later than everyone else.

     Bertholdt wasn't totally sure until he peeked into the kitchen. Annie was eating cereal. That wasn't out of the ordinary. But on Mikasa's lap while the other girl was reading the newspaper? That was out of the ordinary. Reiner's heart stopped and he held his breath as if waiting for another blow to come and wake him from this dream. Though nothing came and Annie continued to eat while Mikasa read giving them glances once or twice out of the corner of her eye.

     "So when I texted you.."

     Bertholdt trailed off watching Mikasa fold her newspaper after finishing and placing it back on the table. Almost like clockwork, her arm found its way around Annie's waist and her head to the other girl's shoulder. Annie could feel Mikasa growing closer but said nothing simply resting her head on top of the other girl's.

     "You interrupted my breakfast."
