Author's Note: Hey guys, I've been having a lot of writer's block on my other story so I started to just write ideas away and so this one happened. I took a lot of the ideas and then I thought it would be better as it's own story. I'm kind of excited for this one but I will be updating about every once a week or every to weeks. Basically whenever I'm free. But just know that I will be updating the other story, after I get over this writer's block.
The morning sun came in through the blinds waking up a young boy. He woke with a stir and brought his pillow over his head. He wasn't really a morning person and hated getting up for school.
"Eren! Come on down for breakfast." yelled a man from down stairs. Eren groaned and rose out of bed. He went and got dressed in a black shirt, jeans, white shoes, and his favorite red scarf. He held the scarf in his hand for a second, rubbing the fabric. It always brought comfort to him and reminded him of his mother.
Eren hurried down stairs, there was his dad by the stove and he had a heart box of chocolates next to him. Eren took a seat at the kitchen table. His breakfast was already there waiting for him. "Thanks dad." Eren said as he dug into his food.
After chewing he quickly looked up at his dad, noticing that he was being quiet. "Hey. Dad? Are you okay?" Eren asked a little hesitant. His dad turned to face him with red puffy eyes, as if he was crying.
"Your...mother. She went into cardiac arrest again. This time worse." His dad said shakily. Eren dropped his fork and looked up to his dad. "Should we visit her. I can miss a day of school. Let's go be there for her." Eren said as he jumped up from the chair and began to rush to get ready.
His dad put a hand out to slow him down, "Hey. Hey. Calm down. She'll be fine, I'll be operating on her this morning so you'll have to go take the bus. I got this son." He said that last part as if he was trying more to convince himself than he was Eren.
Eren nodded slowly and was about to take off to school. "Eren, aren't you forgetting something? It's valentine's day, buddy. Go get your valentine cards for your friends." his dad said with a strained face as he looked at his heart box.
Eren quickly ran upstairs and grabbed his valentine cards. He went back down and stepped out the door with all his stuff that he needs for school. "Later dad...tell mom that I said hi." Eren said as he stepped outside. His dad just nodded to where he was standing.

Eren was riding on the bus holding his bag and his valentine cards. He was trying his best to not think about his mom. His dad was a good doctor. Of course she will be alright, right? Just stop worrying about it, It's valentine's day.
Eren was taken from his thoughts as he noticed out of the corner of his eye, a girl that was sitting a couple seats ahead. She was staring at him and when Eren made eye contact with her, he gave her a smile and she looked away quickly and was blushing.
Eren found it weird. He was trying hard to remember what her name was because he's seen her everyday on the bus. She was always sitting alone. She didn't seem to hang out with that many people and always seemed to keep to herself. I think her name is...Mikasa. Yeah that sounds right.
He would see that she would continue to take quick peaks at him and he eventually just let her stare at him. He had to much on his mind to care at this point. He was also curious to know why she was looking at him.
He began to wonder if she had always looked at him while on the bus. He might have just noticed it today for some reason. She was a nice girl in his class. She was fairly pretty and honestly Eren didn't understand why she didn't have that many friends.
He soon forgot about her and went off thinking about his mom.

Class begun a while ago and the teacher finally announced that the kids could exchange Valentine cards or gifts. Eren got a bunch of Valentine cards, he was a very popular kid in his class.
He read some from his buddies Jean, Conny, and Reiner. He got some for them too and a couple of people in his class. He was getting all kinds of chocolate and treats. Some of the cards were cool and a couple were from different girls in his class saying how cute he was. He really didn't care for many of them though.
He was in the middle of reading a message from a girl named Sasha. It read, 'Eren, I think you are one of the coolest people.' Eren shrugged it off not really caring because it seemed like she didn't really have anything nice to say. He liked messages that meant something to him rather than just some words on a piece of paper.
He then felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to see Mikasa avoiding making eye contact. She was holding a little card with a chocolate bar taped to it.
She cleared her throat, "Umm...This is for you." she refused to make eye contact. She handed the card and chocolate to Eren. She waited there patiently, playing with her hair. She wanted to see what he would say to her.
Eren opened the card. It read, 'Dear Eren, I always saw you as a sweat guy. You never picked on me and you always gave me a smile when you looked my way. You give me butterflies in my stomach and make me smile. I really would like for us to talk more and maybe we could be close friends. It's okay if you don't want to. I'll understand. Sincerely, Mikasa.'
Eren looked up to see Mikasa was shining red. She seemed to be too embarrassed to look at him. Eren felt his heart melt, it was obviously very hard for her to give this to him. It meant a lot. He wanted to show her how much this card meant to him.
He started looking in his bag to see if he had an extra Valentine card he could give her. She was still looking down at her feet waiting for his response, not really paying attention to what he was currently doing.
Eren couldn't find any card of some sort. He started to pat himself down until he felt his scarf. This scarf meant a lot to him. He thought about it for a second.
The card meant a lot to him and he wanted to show her an equal amount of heart. He took off his scarf and wrapped it around her neck. She looked up quickly as she saw him doing this. "This scarf was given to me by my Mom. I want you to have it to show you how much your card meant to me." He said with a smile.
Mikasa beamed brightly at him as he face of confusion was washed away. She went and hugged him tightly and he returned it. They broke apart with each a smile on their face. Mikasa was about to say something until a voice came over the intercom.
"Will Eren Jaeger please come to the office? Will Eren Jaeger please come to the office? It's an emergency. Thank you."
Eren looked around confused but quickly stood up and waved Mikasa a goodbye. He wondered what they could want.
