So this is a collection of one shots in Shingeki no Kyojin. Gay pairings are included. If there is a specific pairing you would like we will consider it, though the first chapters will be our personal favourites.

Sorry that this is kind of short, the next one will be longer.

Mikasa absentmindedly tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. Lately that new boy Jean Kristein seemed to drop by a lot. She wasn't entirely sure why, but he seemed to enjoy talking to her. As she moved into the back of the coffee shop, Sasha jumped to her feet, trying and failing to look like she hadn't been about to gorge herself on the pastries at the back.

"You eat any and you pay for it,: deadpanned Mikasa as she sat down. "Mikasa you meanie, I didn't eat any," wailed Sasha. Mikasa smirked to herself under her muffler.

"You have a postcard," Annie said as she walked by towards the front of their little coffee shop, dropping the said object on the table. Mikasa attempted to calm her heart that always speed up as soon as she heard the word postcard. Sasha got up and headed towards the front, probably to see her boyfriend, Connie, a regular.

It always scared her, that this postcard could be that last and one day she would get a visit and a dead body. Trembling fingers opened the postcard and relief flooded through Mikasa's veins as she read Eren's familiar scrawl.

Mikasa,

How are you? Doing well? Are you still working at the coffee shop? Armin sends his regards. I read your last letter.

I'm being discharged from the military sometime soon. I don't know exactly when, but you'll know.

Tell the horseface to back off and Armin says hello to everyone else.

Eren

Mikasa leaned back. Eren's being discharged. her heart felt as though it was going to burst. Eren's coming home. She remembered when he had first told her that he was jointing the military. She had been furious, unwilling to believe that he would go and risk his life like that.

Mikasa fixed up Eren's coffee, still simmering with rage. How dare he. Just going of to join the military without a thought to the people around him. He was reckless, impulsive and definitely going to die.

She set down his coffee cup in front him, and walked away, stopping at the door as Eren looked into the cup. Staring into the coffee for a few minutes, he picked up the cup and drank the entire cup. "I won't die," he sighed as he left the money on the counter and walked to the door.

'Stay alive' were the words written with foam in the cup.

Mikasa glanced outside at the sunset, then checked her watch. It was almost time to lock up. The bell rang as a customer walked in.

Mikasa stared at the figure that entered. Dark hair, green eyes. It was almost as if nothing had changed at all in all the time he had been in the military. Wordlessly, she turned around and walked into the back.

Eren Jeager seated himself on a small still in front and waited for Mikasa to come back. He didn't have to wait long. Mikasa walked back in, still silent and handed him a cup of coffee, his usual when he used to come.

Eren stared into the cup and small a small heart made in the foam. He smiled, and quickly drank the coffee.

"I promised I'd come back alive didn't I?"
