She snapped up and awake form the dream she was just having. breathing heavily, her hand reached up to wipe some of the sweat from her forehead and buried her face in her hands. "Damn." she hadn't had dreams like that in years why now? A dream like that that could haunt you for weeks why did she have that dream at such an important time in her life? She needed to focus, fight, win. "No. No that wont happen I wont let it. I swear. I bet my life on it." but by now there where soft cry's coming out of the now, very fragile girl.
Eren immediately woke up at the sound of the all too familiar cry's coming from the room over. Of course when they where kids heck even when they where trainees they would comfort each-other on nights like this. But this was strange, its been awhile since one of them has had nightmares they couldn't handle especially Mikasa. He ran into the room next to his trying to make as little of noise as possible before spotting a frail girl who seemed like a stranger to his eyes. It killed him inside has much as he try's to be strong and fight for himself he's always drawn back to her. Like fate is pulling them together. Either way it didn't matter what he thought or what happened in the past what matters is now right now. And right now she needed him. He picked her up bridal style. She didn't even need to look up to know it was him, somehow she just..knew. It was a bit unexpected though when he laid her down in the grass a bit a ways from the house. "E-Eren…" She asked with wet eyes filled with confusion as he laid there next her her on the soft grass. "The stars are beautiful out here tonight." She averted her gaze from him and looked up, "Th-they are" she said "Do you want to talk about it." He asked gently. More tears started to roll down "I just don't want to lose you" She said under her breath. He looked at her dead in the face "Why would you cry over that? Mikasa I told you, you don't have to repay me for what happened when we where kids. You already have anyway you've saved my ass plenty of times before." "No Eren it's not because of that….I..I will never forget that and it's a debt I will never be able to repay. But your my home. My family, the place I can come back too, your where I belong." He sat there, shocked by what he just heard, then without thinking said "M-Maybe its fate." he said playing with the thought in his head. Is that why what ever happened, she was always there with him, next to him, like his home, where he belonged. Is that why he pushes her away? His home was destroyed but he still had a home, he was just too much of a dumb ass to notice it. Her crying had settled down sum but was still there. Damn why is he so useless when it comes to her? he slowly but gently took her hand in his still looking in her deep blue eyes "Remember that promise I made on the battle field?" She made a small nod "I meant it. I'll always come back to you, this scarf will always bring me back to you. Where ever you are, where ever I am this scarf will bring us home." She smiled a genuine smile and squeezed his hand back, she looked back up at the lit up sky, his gaze soon following hers. They stayed like that, together under the stars, for what seemed like eternity.
