For most teenagers her age, high school can be hell. For some it’s because the anxiety starts to kick in- the anxiety that they may do something to draw attention to themselves. For others, it’s having to constantly impress a certain someone- be it their mother or a friend.

For Florence Holly Emmerich the thing that makes her high school life hell, is, as she calls it, her “little affliction”. But it’s much more than that. It’s a curse. More accurately, any females born into the Emmerich family cannot feel pain or a person’s touch. According to Florence’s grandmother, it has been like that for decades. Everyone has their own story on how the curse came to be. Florence believes the one in which her ancestor pissed off a witch who suffered from the same affliction and cursed them. “That’s a long time to hold a grudge” she always says.

But she doesn’t mind that she can’t feel a thing. BUT, what she does mind is people taking advantage of it. People stabbing her with things and not telling her. It’s a pain in her arse to find out from her best friend or a teacher that she’s gonna have to buy a new sweater because it’s now stained in blood.

She isn’t the type to take it lying down though. If she catches someone stabbing her with something, she will call them out and then promptly punch them in nose.

There is a way to break the curse however. Someone has to fall in love with the easily angered, foul mouthed, ginger. She believes her chances of that ever happening is less than zero and because of that she’s prepared to live with the curse forever. She tries sometimes, to be a different person. To be someone that someone might like, but she hates it. She hates not being herself. If someone does fall in love with her, she wants it to be with her real self. She’d much rather be alone forever than fake it.

She does wonder what things feel like. She can feel emotions, mostly bad ones. Sometimes she’ll ask her brother what the softest thing in the world is. He always replies his blanket. When he isn’t home she’ll go into his room and rub her fingers on it hoping that she might be able to feel it. But she never does, and she will never admit that she’s always disappointed when this happens.

“But I don’t mind,” she tells herself.

I really don’t.”

“I...really...don’t mind…”


She's the worst liar in the world.
Summary: The Emmerich family has been cursed for centuries. Girls born into the family can’t feel another’s touch or pain. The only way to break the curse is to win over someone’s heart. Unfortunately for Florence Holly Emmerich, an easily angered and foul mouthed girl, love doesn’t seem to be in her forecast. When she bumps into the new teacher and can actually feel him, she sets out with a plan to make the teacher her friend. Too bad he has no intentions of socializing with students, but that's never stopped her.

This is my first Attack on Titan fanfiction. Any spelling errors and such, be sure to point them out.
