attack on titan headcanons #16
synopsis: meeting the parents 🐞
characters included: eren, mikasa, armin, jean, sasha, connie, reiner, annie, bertolt, levi, erwin and hange.
notes: i’m finally back with more aot!! i’m officially finished with exams so, i’ve decided to drop this & 3 other posts lmao. i’m feeding you. you’re welcome.
☆ eren jaeger
oh, your parents freeaaakkk out. what do you mean their child is dating the TITAN boy that they’ve heard so much about? last they heard, he went mad and all! when he meets them, you guys have to meet at a cafe or something cause they’re genuinely terrified he’s gonna accidentally transform, destroy their house and kill them. eren acts like something you’ve never seen before, he’s clearly extremely nervous. i’m talking posture straight, hands firmly in his lap, laughing at every joke your dad makes etc. even after the first meeting your parents were very concerned about your safety… however, after many more meet ups, many talks (and a lot of convincing) they come around to eren. they soon realise he’s just a young boy whose had some very strange, very bad luck. they call him ‘special’.
☆ mikasa ackerman
an angel, obviously. mikasa is the best of both worlds, let me explain; not only is she a bad bitch whose strength been compared to that of an army of 100 men, she’s also a really good cook & homemaker! she helps your parents with chores like laundry, helps your mum cook etc. and on the flip side, she can slit several titans napes in record time so, your parents KNOW your protected around her & she can make a lovely dinner too! anyways, she is still her reserved-self when meeting them but, she makes sure to engage in conversation to impress them. after the first meeting, your parents loved her! they thought she was timid but just a super sweet girl, although they had a lot of questions about her scar…
anyways! she’s definitely the type of girlfriend to talk shit about you with your own parents 😔. i just know you’ve walked into the kitchen on several occasions and mikasa is like “yeah i fold all of y/n’s clothes back in the barracks” and your parents are like “what?! that lazy git!” then you walk in and everyone’s side eyeing you…
☆ armin arlert
another angel i fear. quick everyone act surprised!! he’s totally and utterly nervous but, he puts on a brave face for you. however, by the time you guys are leaving, you’re walking out the front door, waving and saying your goodbyes.. after that front door shuts, armin starts grinning from ear to ear looking proper cheeky cause he KNOWS he’s just impressed them so much. your parents adore this boy!! and he knows it!! you poke and tease him for being so nervous earlier just to end up being like this but, seriously he’s so happy.
your parents could tell he was nervous from the get-go, his hands were shaking when he shook their hands bless him! they made sure to put in extra effort to make him feel super welcomed and comfortable, and clearly it worked. they really like him too i mean, what’s there not to like about armin? he’s incredibly intelligent, a sweet soul and loves their child, what more could they want?!
☆ jean kirstein
oh, when you meet jeans mum, she is just totally over the moon to have you round her house. and you just know you’re eating GOOODDD while you are there!! she is the warmest, most welcoming lady ever, she announces you as her child the moment you step through the door!
she genuinely adores you and wants you guys to get on sooo badly, she’s definitely overbearing (in a very nice way) at first and you feel sort of awkward… it’s a lot to take in & it’s all very fast and very aaahhhh!! however, after the first initial meeting within a few hours, she’s calmed down from the excitement, everyone is filled up with food and tired, so now you finally have a chance to have a nice, normal conversation and it was… amazing! as if she didn’t already love you now, she really loves you. also, jean turns into a total mamas boy when you go over her house.
☆ sasha braus
your parents had heard of her food loving ways from you and thankfully for sasha, your parents happen to be quite wealthy… wealthy enough to afford meat. they made sure to prepare a buffet for your guys’ arrival and this made her feel so happy and so welcomed :’). this definitely started a very quick and immediate spark between her and your parents.
we cant forget about sasha’s family, although it’s more difficult to meet them as they live in the wilderness. it took you a few months of dating sasha to meet her family & trust, they make you do everything they do m’kay. you get a bit of leeway because you’re new and don’t understand their way of living but, you’re going on hunts with them. this, as nerve wracking as it was, was actually a great way to bond!! you really bonded with sasha’s family over this mostly because you continuously asked for help so, they kinda had to talk to you… but, seriously it was great! (also you didn’t understand them very well through the whole trip because of their accents… lol)
☆ connie springer
oh, your parents are now his parents. sorry, he’s the favourite child, you and your siblings are cast aside when connie arrives on the scene. on a serious note, after his family’s death, he truly hasn’t been the same - it was heartbreaking for him in many ways and one being that they would never meet you. when you told your parents about this, they welcomed connie with open arms and made sure he felt more like a son than just their child’s partner.
and that happened, let me tell you. he’s actually their son, their favourite baby boy, i’m so serious😭. he gets babied and doted on more than you or your siblings AND oh my god, he bickers with your siblings too like poking them, tickling them, just ticking them off a littleeeee bit. but he makes up for it cause he does spoil them a lot too so they do really love him. he’s got the whole family wrapped around his little finger! your parents obviously just absolutely adore him and everything he does.
☆ reiner braun
such a gentleman, i think your mum (and dad) almost fell for him and your grandma definitely wanted a piece of this guy😭😭. i mean he turned up to the house arm in arm with you with PRESENTS, greeted himself extremely politely to your parents and your grandma, even kissing her a kiss on the hand (that’s when she swooned). he actually acted like a prince he was so polite and gentlemanly. and trust, he pulled out all the stops with jokes and stories just making your family love him even more, what a charismatic boy!
him and your grandma are the BEST of friends because tell me why you came home to see your lovely boyfriend in the barracks and he was just gone? THEN, when he came home later that evening, you found out he’d been shopping with your grandma? excuse me? he literally hangs out with her on his own!! but, don’t even get me started on the guilt and dread he feels knowing he hides a secret from now not only his partner but his partners lovely, welcoming family whom he’s grown to love too.
☆ annie leonhart
sweet, quiet girl next door vibes dare i say… only around your parents obviously, she can’t be seen in that light by anyone else. she just turns into the sweetest, most timid girl around your mum it was crazy! you obviously knew she wasn’t going to be her typical self like she is in training or whatever but, it was shocking how much she changed😭.
she offered to help your mum with cooking even though she wasn’t very good at it, so her and your mum bonded a lot over teaching her how to cook during the first meeting and several meetings after that. ever since the first time meeting your mum, annie has been taught to cook by her and she cooks you your mums meals all the time :’).
she yearns for you to meet her father. she loves him and you so much, she just knows your two would get on so well but, the circumstances just don’t allow that. but, in a way, she’s grateful for you and now your mother even if she does miss her father dearly, she’s happy to have a parent again & one that likes her so much!
☆ bertolt hoover
oh sweet boy is tossing and turning all night long thinking about having to meet your parents. he’s filled with nerves & your parents try their absolute hardest to make him feel comfortable but, everyone can tell he’s really on edge the whole time. that was until, he had a chance to play with your younger sibling. i don’t know if it’s because they’re young and therefore less threatening (and theres less of a need to impress them) but, bertolt really shone when he was with your younger sibling!! you saw the bert you knew except a bit more family-friendly.
safe to say, they grew an incredible bond from this point forward & it actually helped him become more comfortable around the adults in your family. obviously your parents thought his tenderness toward your younger sibling was just the sweetest. they thought their child is so lucky to have such a gentle soul as their boyfriend!
☆ levi ackerman
oh, he’s probably the worst out of everyone 😭😭. he’s so, shocked that you still have your parents? and siblings? he never really thought he’d end up in this situation so, i think externally he seems fine, he’s so nonchalant but, internally he’s freaking out baddddd.
when you first suggest the idea of him meeting your family, he outright wants to refuse (he doesn’t) but, he’s so terrified and i’m not being funny, this guy is supposed to be humans strongest solider and he’s getting ANXIETY over just regular people?! this is making him crash out. he agrees to meet them but trust, he makes sure his schedule is filled for the next month so he has extra time to freak the fuck out.
the day finally arrives, levi literally looks like he has a stick up his arse. his posture is crazy, his answers feel rehearsed (they are) LIKE he just needs to calm down. you have to give him a gentle squeeze of the hand, shoulder or knee to just rellaxxxx & he does, you can see him exhale and his shoulders become slump.
after a few more reassuring squeezes, taps and light shoves, he loosens up becoming less rehearsed and just being more real, more levi. your family think he’s just reserved but, he seems nice enough and of course, he’s like practically famous in paradis so… your family are pretty happy, lol. they’re a bit upset he’s seems awkward around them but, they understand he’s different around you & it’s always awkward meeting the family for the first time!!
☆ erwin smith
literally so calm and chill. i feel like out of everyone, he’s had the most relationship experience, he’s been there and done that, you know? he knows what parents want to hear or see from their child’s partner.
he is perfect. he’s not too uptight or too polite, he makes well-timed jokes and even jabs at the most playful family members which gets them giggling. he makes sure to show you small physical affection which in turn, your family notice and appreciate you two seem so in love. he makes sure to offer to do things such as, help set up the table, carry big bowls or heavy items to the table & trust; he is complimenting the shiiittt out of the food.
he’s just got this whole meeting the family thing down to an art form, honestly. i’m making it sound like he’s done this a million times, he hasn’t and to be fair, this is just his usual self just turned up a notch so your family love him that bit extra 😆.
and they do. they freaking love him. like i said, he was perfect! who doesn’t love perfect? your dad definitely wants to go golf with him, he’s obsessed.
☆ hange zoë
oh my, what an experience… definitely the kind of person to yap their way into being loved, haha. as soon as they enter your home it’s a lot “oh my god, so lovely to finally meet you! yeah, i’m amazing so, today actually something crazy happened—” “oh, i love the way you decorated the place, did you make this?” so casual, so talkative, so comfortable almost immediately even though (hange claims), they’re holding back the full extend of their personality, just giving them a glimpse.
your family loved this way of introducing and integrating themselves into the family though, it felt like a piece of the puzzle had been found when hange entered your home, even during the first meeting. your parents LOVE hange’s story and hyper energy. they bring life into the living room!

My Inst : evlerchik
First Date with AoT Men -------------------- a/n: I would fall instantly with all of them, no joke...LEMME GO RECORD SHOPPING WITH BERT PLEASE (maybe because I write him with my personality...) Also, lowkey thinking about turning some of these into like actual one shots, so if you would like that lemme know :)
--------------------- Jean:
Very traditional, you two are going to dinner and a movie. He finds a place that is filling, but not enough to miss the opportunity to share movie snacks at the theater. Dinner is good for conversation, he learns more about you, you learn more about him, and it’s very relaxed. He asks you deeper questions, about what you want in life, your future, and determines if he can see himself in it immediately. Dinner also gives him enough intel to figure out which movie you will be seeing after. It’s when he is picking up the check that he tells you what you will be seeing, your face lighting up at his fantastic taste in movies.
Once you two get to the movies, he can’t stop looking at you. He’s purposely reaching into the popcorn bucket at the same time as you to get the opportunity to brush his hand against yours, sending your stomach into a frenzy of butterflies. It is not long before the two of you are holding hands, occasionally glancing at each other throughout the movie, just to find the other one already looking. You two walk out of the movie still hand in hand, discussing your thoughts. The night ends with him bringing you home, pressing a kiss to your cheek, good night, but that makes you ask the question that’s been lingering in the back of your mind the whole night.
“Would you like to come in?”
Reiner:
He’s taking you on a hike. Being outside keeps him from overthinking and complicating the simple things of a date. It also lets him see the real you, not someone all done up for some big romantic excursion. From your previous talks, he also knows that this is something you would enjoy as well.
The two of you talk about life, but you also don’t need to be continuously talking as he guides you through the path. He offers his hand when you get to a rough patch in the trail, and you take it. He pulls you effortlessly, causing you to fall into his chest, lingering there for a moment. More little instances like this happen throughout your hike until you reach the peak of your journey. There's a nice grassy clearing to sit on overlooking the trail you just went up. Something about being outside and in the serene clearing allows you to open up to him. You talk about a struggle you are going through, and it turns out he’s going through something similar. You two feel that connection immediately.
You two sit propped up on your hands when he finds the top of yours. You two both get a little flustered by the touch, but quickly melt into it, finding your heads resting on each other as you enjoy the view before you, letting out deep sighs. Eventually, you two have had enough of your break and make the trip back down, continuing to talk, discussing when you would be seeing each other again, because it was clearly something you both intended.
Armin:
He’s taking you to an aquarium, you already learned from talking that he is very smart and loves to talk, and this was his dream. The date starts with him unintentionally grabbing your hand, pulling you towards something you easily looked over. He’s immediately captivated by his surroundings, pointing, smiling, filling your brain with information. He encourages you to put your phone down and allow him to take pictures of what’s before you so you can truly enjoy it without any interruption.
As you two continue your journey, the conversation becomes less about interesting facts and more subtle romantic hints, talking about the bonds, communication, and mating habits of the creatures in front of you. You find it charming and ask him more questions as you continue walking. He is ecstatic that you’re paying attention.
“So what’s your favorite so far?” He asks you.
“Either the penguins or the turtles, but turtles are my favorite animal,” you smile back. He’s already had something prepared, expecting this answer, and tells you a romantic fact about how Penguins give each other gifts and that the one particular species of turtle in front of you is the only one that chooses to mate for life. You sit in that thought with him as the two of you look at each other. You tighten your grip on his hand, intertwining your fingers with his, securing the loose grip he had on your hand. He looks down at it, then back up at you, before you two continue your trek. He gets you a little souvenir from the gift shop, a small ceramic turtle, something that would make you remember this date every time you looked at it.
Bertholdt:
You are going somewhere he feels comfortable, as he was so flustered from you agreeing to go out with him, he needs to be in his element. You meet him at the address he sent you, a public parking lot, but he’s already waiting outside his car.
You two walk quietly to your destination, the occasional few words being exchanged every so often, but you two look at each other with admiration. You are both put together nicely, casual, but cute, and unintentionally coordinated. Eventually, you arrive at this older-looking building, and you hear music coming from inside. He’s illuminating now; he can’t wait to show you whatever is inside this mysterious building. You follow behind him into the building, aisles and aisles of shelves filled with records occupy one half of the building, the other half is occupied with tables topped with crates full of records. You turn back to see him, and he’s already off. You quickly catch up with him as he starts sifting through the shelves; he’s talking now.
“Whoa, an original pressing,” he smiles, admiring the record sleeve he’s holding, and he shows you. He begins teaching you how to find a good record and explains how places like this have some good finds if you look hard enough. You two were off in your own worlds, sorting through crates until you found something you were interested in. You put one of your headphones in your ear, listening to a few tracks on the album, convincing you to hold on to it. He found you, he quickly took the other headphone, leaning down to reach your height, putting it in his ear.
“Good work,” he smiled. You pulled your headphones out. He bought the record for you as well as a few for himself. He invited you over after, and the two of you went and listened to your new album.
Porco:
He’s inviting you to his place for dinner. He is so confident that you will stay the night after the evening he has prepared, so why not start there? You knock on his door and hear him yell something before he makes his way to let you in. He’s greeting you with a large smile, and the place smells wonderful. He wants to impress you immediately, which is why he decided to learn how to cook a romantic dinner for the two of you. He quickly guides you in, purposely guiding you away from the kitchen mess, but to a seat at his table. You two make small talk while he continues putting the finishing touches on your meal until he finally puts a plate of food infront of you, one of your favorite dishes. You take the first bite, and his face lights up immediately at your reaction.
“This is incredible,” you exclaim, practically inhaling your plate.
“Really? You’re not just humoring me,” he cocks an eyebrow before taking a bite himself. He’s surprised with his work and joins you in devouring the food.
“Where’d you learn to make this?” you say, finally taking a drink, looking at your almost empty plate.
“Old family recipe,” he grins, but you see right through it.
“Mhm, really,” you glance at the tablet sitting on the kitchen counter. He follows your gaze.
“Shit, okay, you caught me, YouTube is a wonderful thing,” he chuckles. You two continue to talk over dinner, and you are falling hard for him. The way he’s looking at you, head resting in his hand, the smirk painted across his lips the entire time while talking, laughing, teasing. You offer to clean up, but he insists he can take care of it, but you are just as stubborn as him and begin cleaning anyway. He quickly settles beside you, joining you in your effort, and is trying so hard to restrain himself, but he can’t. He quickly takes your wrist as you reach for something, escalating quickly as you find yourself in his room for the night in a heap of limbs just as he intended.
bertholdt hoover is the cutest aot boy, and no, i won’t elaborate.
he’s such a pretty boy…
Casually just remembered that Bertholdt was fucking 11 when he breached Wall Maria. He was the youngest Warrior with the most destructive Titan who lost a friend on the way to a place he had been raised to hate and on some level fear.
Reiner was 12 and carrying leadership like an adult, trying to keep everyone together and blaming himself for Marcel.
Annie was 11 and drawing titans in to eat people, usually alive, forcing herself not to feel it and compartmentalize it all.
The Warriors were children who had to kill countless people and watch them die and hear them scream and do nothing about it knowing they were the reason it all happened.
