Note: I don't own attack on titan characters -_-

Setting: Modern day AU

Saturday

The day was already off to a rough start for Eren; sliding off the bed he found a nearby shirt and sweater that he used to cover his exposed torso. It was Saturday morning and he had planned on staying in and relaxing after the busy week he had. Now, he was forced to leave his house because his parents were having company over. Sure he could have stayed and introduced himself, but he just wasn't feeling it today. He opened the window of his second floor room and was about to jump off, but not before leaving a note to his mother, "Went to store, I'll be back later…P.S. left phone to charge ."

Eren left the note on his table, and waved to his dog, eyeing him as he sneakily walked towards the window. "Stay…don't give me that look, I'll be back," said Eren. Not even hesitating, he leaped off the window and landed on the soft grass as he heard his mom calling him, "Eren?"

"Oh, I better hurry," said Eren as he ran towards the gate of his backyard and left his house, and mother, behind.

Eren wasn't sure how long he would stay out, but he would worry about that later at the store. Wearing pajamas, he continued to walk with hands in his pockets; the warmth of his house gave him a false sense of reality of the temperature outside. He looked up and saw the clouds, gray and gathering. Then, as he drifted his eyes toward his side, he saw something that made him almost catch his breath.

A girl with black hair and a red scarf was looking at the sky as if she was waiting for some otherworldly being to take her away. She was standing in a small park and he just looked at her for what almost seemed like hours, because to Eren, she was gorgeous. All of a sudden, small dots of white fell slowly like leaf falling from a tree. Eren took his eyes off of her for a moment to see the snow, but when his eyes returned, he saw her ink pool eyes staring right back at him.

"Uh…" Eren was quickly trying to think of something to avoid the awkwardness, but it was a useless effort. Mikasa took a step back, turned around, and walked away ignoring the fact that their eyes met.

"Right…that was awkward," Eren walked into the small park and took a seat in a nearby bench. "I didn't just freak her out," he said sarcastically as he covered his hair with his hood. "Still, she was kind of cute…oh, what am I doing, I was heading to the store."

There was a nearby little convenience store that locals use to get their newspapers, food, and other miscellaneous tools; it was also a place where Eren buys his favorite magazine. As he walked in, he notices Jean at the cash register, "Kirstein."

"Jaeger," that was all either of them said to each other as Eren motioned towards the magazine rack. Out of all the places, he had to work here, he thought to himself.

Unbeknownst to Eren, a certain girl was staring at him from behind a shelf.

"Is that weirdo following me? Take a deep breath Mikasa, let's just get out of here quietly," she said to herself. She walked softly toward the counter, checking to see if he was still looking at the opposite direction every few seconds. Reaching the counter, she placed her things down to take her wallet out; raising her shoulders as if to create some kind of camouflage. Jean, meanwhile, just looks at her curiously as he scans her items one by one.

"That'll be $6.20," he said. Just as Mikasa reaches into her wallet, she hears a laugh from behind her. Eren was standing behind her, completely oblivious to the girl in front. His attention was solely on the magazine he picked up.

"Is something wrong Miss?" said Jean.

"No, nothing is wrong…here," Mikasa gives him a ten-dollar bill.

"Do you happen to have twenty cents? We are kind of low on change," said Jean.

Really? "Um…yeah, I think I have some," Mikasa begins to fumble around her wallet, only to have a bunch of coins fall out, hitting the countertop loudly. "I'm sorry just give me a second," Mikasa desperately wanted to get out of here, as she searched hastily for the remaining change. She figured that the guy behind her definitely heard that, but she was wrong; Eren was still fixated on his magazine.

Jean looked on, noticing that this frantic girl in front of her was kind of cute. He got flustered as he said, "Ah, its okay…I-I'll just give you the change."

Mikasa looked up, "Thanks." Jean stopped for a second to notice her face when she said that, and then felt the need to give his input, "OH! Please don't worry about it at all! Haha."

Eren, unbelievably, took his eyes off of his magazine and said, "Dang you're loud man." Mikasa stood frozen.

"Shut up! Here you go miss, sorry about that," said Jean.

Mikasa nodded as she moved slowly away towards the exit; when she turned around, she noticed that he did not see her one bit. That magazine must be really good, she thought. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a whine arise from him.

"I forgot my money at home…Kirstein, you think you can let me have this? I'll come back with the money," Eren said.

"Are you stupid? I'm not letting you leave with that, I'll get fired!"

Mikasa knew that it was none of her business, but she figured that there was no way someone like him was purposely trying to follow her. She reluctantly turned around and placed some money on the table, "Here, keep the change."

Eren and Jean looked at the girl as she turned around and exited the store. Eren's mind clicked when he realized that was the girl from earlier, "This is enough, right Jean?"

"Uh, yeah, here's your change…Hey! Eren—" Eren ran out the store hoping to catch up to the girl, the rush of cold air and drops of small icicles weren't helping. Luckily, when he turned the corner, he immediately spotted her, "Hey! Wait a minute."

Mikasa stopped, as she already determined who it was, "You don't have to pay me back."

"I wanted to thank you, and I will pay you back."

"Trust me, don't worry about it."

"You were that girl in the park right?"

Mikasa looked at him curiously, "What's it to you?"

"It's just, I haven't seen you around before, are you new to this place?"

Mikasa briefly paused, "Yes, I moved here recently."

"I see, well let me the first to say…welcome to Shiganshina, a nice small city where it gets really cold, then really hot," said Eren smiling.

Mikasa slightly giggled, yeah, he is definitely a weirdo, she thought to herself. "Thank you, I see that you don't really care about what you wear outside," said Mikasa as she looked at Eren's choice of attire: pajama pants, slippers, and a sweater.

Eren clutched the back of his head, "My house isn't far, and I was just trying to kill some time."

Mikasa's eyes widened a bit, "Really? I was trying to waste some time too."

Eren smiled a bit as he said, "So, you still want to kill some more time?"

Mikasa was about to reply when her phone rang, "Oh, excuse me for a moment…Yes, Mom? Do I have to? Okay, I'll go…I'm sorry, but I have to go back home."

Mikasa was about to run home, until Eren stopped her, "Wait, if you find yourself lost around here, then just ask me…I have my phone with me." Eren searched for his device, but quickly realized he didn't have it with him. "Crap, I left my phone too," Eren felt disappointed as Mikasa looked at him, already facing the other direction.

"It's okay, if I'm lost I'll figure out a way," Mikasa said as she didn't want to keep her mother waiting.

"Right, well see you later then," Eren waived goodbye.

Mikasa stared him for a moment as she gave in, "It's 545-4958." Eren's ears perked up as he saw her run away from him.

"Wai—that's her number," Eren smiled, "545-4958." All of sudden, Eren realized that it was best to write down the number before he forgets it; so he rushed back to the store, where a confused Jean took a step back.

"Kirstein! Let me borrow a paper and something to write with, hurry up!"

"Alright, alright…here, now get out of here before I call the police for disturbing the peace." Eren quickly wrote down the number, "545-4958." Eren was ecstatic as he ran out the store and headed back home.

Reaching the backyard of his house, he climbed a nearby tree and made his way to his second-floor bedroom. As soon as enters his room from the window, the door swings open, "Eren!"

"Mom! Hey, I'm back," Eren said with a sarcastic smile.

"Yes, I see that, we'll talk about that later…come downstairs, I want you to meet our friends."

"There still here? How long have you guys been talking?"

"Hurry, let's go, they want to meet you," said Eren's mother as she pulled her son downstairs.

In the living room, his father spoke up, "Ah and this is my son, Eren, say hello to Mr. and Mrs. Ackerman, our new neighbors."

Eren was stunned to see that the girl he had just met, was sitting in front of her staring back at him with the same expression.
