They had got to the base or the place they where staying at the moment, with everything going on its hard to call anywhere they where more then a temporary
stop. Mikasa had immediately after spotting him was by Eren's side, and strangely he didn't mind at all. No snicker, no face, no comment, just content. But at the
same time he could tell something was off with her. It was the kinda off that someone who has known or been through all the shit he was with her would pick up
on.
Armin must have had something really traumatic happen since horse face was trying to comfort him but Eren wasn't about to go near that horse he'd ask Armin
what happened later.
The brown haired boy just couldn't stop thinking about the raven-haired girl next to him though, something was off. Her hands weren't shaking, posture was
perfect as always, same expression on her face but still, something was off.
"Mikasa I'm going outside to get some fresh air wanna come?" He felt kinda silly asking of course she was going to come its Mikasa. But that's when he knew
something was up, there was slight hesitation in her eyes, like a millisecond he was surprised he even caught it. But of course she followed him anyway.
Once they where safely outside out of earshot "Mikasa are you ok? What happened back there?" She was surprised. Like really surprised how the heck had he
known she was upset? But she had to play it cool there's too much on his shoulders "Eren what are yo-" "Mikasa you know what I'm talking about." he snapped
back. She sighed so much for that. "It was like a visit to the past. Armin and Jean where taken hostage like the plan but it was just too much like last time." She
paused for a breath; Eren noticed water filling the pools of her eyes. "Armin and Jean where helpless, or at least seemed like it, like I was. Levi and me attacked
the men there, like you did so many years ago. I just had flash backs of that night. A pain I can't describe." Now the rain was drizzling from her eyes, Eren
wanted to hold her and tell her it was going to be ok, that she's here now, that everything will be over soon, but what use are empty words now. So he let her
Finnish "I took my eyes off the man I was holding down, I had to know if there was another, Like that night. There wasn't, but in the time I wasn't looking he
was able to get his hands on a gun, thankfully Sasha was there. I guess in the end I always need a savior, no matter how strong I get."
Eren was taken aback by how open she was with him. He didn't know what to do what could he do? It hurt too much to see her so open and vulnerable in front of
him. In a moment of panic he did the first and only thing he knew how to somewhat do right.
Slowly he reached out and unraveled the red string from the now fragile girls neck. And slowly wrapped it around her neck again in the most care he could
manage only for it to look sloppily done. Yet her eyes shown through the ocean of tears, surprise and above all happiness filling her expression. He really did
miss seeing that in her eyes. "As many times as I need too."
