Dangerous For You (An AoT/Shingeki no Kyojin Fanfic)
+ I don't own Shingeki no Kyojin or any of its characters. Just this random story. Also, there may be some spoilers. +
"It's haunting, this hold that you have over me. I grow so weak..."
Mikasa Ackerman woke up earlier than usual. She slipped out of bed quietly and dressed quickly. It was still dark outside but she knew her way around this old castle by now. She snuck out through the silent courtyard and made her way to the back field. The moon was still high in the night sky and illuminated the rows of wheat dancing softly in the wind. Mikasa stood before the field and stretched, cracking her knuckles. When she was ready, she walked into the center, remaining hidden from view. It was there that she began her training, pushing herself to the point of exhaustion. She would spend hours out here at night, striving to increase her stamina and strength. This was her punishment and her key to salvation. She vowed to bring Eren back. Somewhere out there, he was waiting for her. She knew it.
Sweat dripped off her body as she repeated her promise silently. "I will find Eren. I will bring him back." Though Mikasa was wracked with guilt over losing Eren, she wouldn't allow herself to cry, especially in front of Armin. She had to be strong. But out here, alone in the moonlight, she let her tears fall. They mixed with her sweat and slid down her silent face, before dripping off her chin. She thought about him constantly, this boy determined to have his freedom. He was her savior. Sometimes thoughts about what would have happened to her circled her mind during these private times of reflection. If he hadn't found her, she knew she would have died long ago. She had been so scared and weak. "He risked his life for me," Mikasa thought. "I'll gladly give up mine for him. I will find him. I will bring him back!"
Rivaille watched her from his second-story window, as he usually did. For the past month since Eren's kidnapping, he observed her from his bedroom window as she would sneak out after hours to train. He watched her work fervently, wondering why the hell she went to such lengths for him. He had heard she was overprotective. Since she joined the Scouting Legion, he saw her around Eren as often as her schedule would allow.
She emerged from the field, her clothes clinging to her and soaked with sweat. "Tsch, disgusting," Rivaille thought as he turned away and went back to bed. But as he lay there with his eyes closed, he kept picturing how she glowed in the moonlight.
