A/N: Hello there! Thank you so much for checking out this story! It is my first story on this account so I hope you enjoy.
Mikasa woke to a knock on her apartment door. She looked around. The clock on her nightstand read 11:34.
"Who could be at the door at this hour?" she thought. She then thought of the possibility of a stranger or kidnapper. But, wait, they don't usually knock. But what if she opened the door and something bad happened?
The girl broke out into a cold sweat as she heard the knock again. "This wasn't a dream," she knew with a frown.
She laid back down, trying to ignore it. Her door was knocked on one more time until it stopped. Mikasa exhaled, her heart beating fast. Suddenly, her phone lit up and vibrated and she nearly screamed.
The raven haired girl looked over at the bright screen- it was a text from Eren. She unlocked her phone, her fingers still shaking.
"Are you up? Can you open your door? It's an emergency" she read. The girl felt a wave of relief when she read those messages. So her knocker was Eren. But what was the emergency?
She stepped out of bed, the brisk air biting at the skin of her unclothed legs.
She unlocked the door and slowly opened it, greeted with a tired looking Eren and his dog, Vinny.
"Hi," he greeted dully. Mikasa could see the bags under his eyes and hear the fatigue in his voice.
"Eren, what's wrong?" she crossed her arms from the cold. The boy scratched his head and waited for a man to walk down the hallway. He stopped at Mikasa's doorway, standing next to Eren. He was tall and wore sunglasses and an expensive-looking suit.
"Are you Miss Ackerman?" he asked with a deep voice.
Mikasa nodded, even more confused. The man had a clip board and was writing down some notes.
"Pleased to meet you." he stated, even duller than Eren. "Sorry to bother you at this hour. Miss Ackerman, living in New York, you're probably familiar with movies being shot in apartments around the city." Mikasa nodded. "Mr. Jaeger's apartment just happened to be conveniently placed with a view pleasing for... setting reasons. It is for these reasons that we've offered him a large amount of money to be able to rent out his apartment for the month. Because Mr. Jaeger agreed to the deal, he'll need to be removed from his apartment for at least a month." Mikasa's lips parted slightly as she looked over the brunet boy. "Because of his current job, when asked, he stated he'll be able to stay at another apartment for the time being. The apartment he mentioned was apartment 111. Renter: Mikasa Ackerman. You have clarified as this character, yes?" Mikasa stayed silent. She blinked.
"... What?"
Eren sighed. "Why don't we sit inside and talk."
So I know, this is a lot to take in, and this is a lot to ask, but it's only a month," the boy finished.
"A month..." Mikasa sipped some water.
"So basically, people are making a movie and need my apartment to shoot in because of its 'prime view' or setting or something. At least a month. I need this money, so I figured... you know... "
Mikasa stared at Eren openly. "Eren... 30 days... I..." she sighed as she put her hands over her face. "And you can't stay at Armin's apartment because...?"
"Armin's apartment complex doesn't allow pets," Eren laughed sheepishly, petting Vinny.
Mikasa sighed loudly.
The man cleared his throat, growing impatient. The girl pursed her lips. "...There's only one bedroom..."
"That's okay! I'll sleep on the couch!" Eren proposed cheerfully.
"T-The refrigerator barely ever has food in it... I don't have any dog food..."
"As expected, but that's okay! I can go grocery shopping tomorrow," Eren nodded.
"But..."
"Mikasa..." he cut her off.
The girl looked in his blue-green eyes; they were pleading with her. She sighed, studying his messy brown hair, tan skin, his chest falling and rising...
Maybe she could stand living with this boy for a month. But she wasn't positive her hormones could.
"... Vinny isn't allowed on the furniture." she said with a cold tone, inwardly smiling. Eren gasped with delight and jumped over on the couch she was sitting at, and hugged her.
"Thankyouthankyouthankyouuuu!" Eren smiled, wrapping his arms around her tightly.
"Eren- you're squeezing me!" the girl tried not to laugh. Eren only held on tighter. Mikasa closed her eyes, she savored the feeling of his weight on her body; of inhaling his smell and feeling his warmth. Yeah, she didn't know how long this whole thing was going to last.
