The ambience was strangely tranquil, something Mikasa has been unfamiliar with for the past five years. From outside the window, birds chirped and emerald leaves rustled against the breeze. The sun's rays shined through the curtains and lit the room with a soft, white glow. She was completely calm; she sat there beside the bed, listening to Eren's low and even breathing while she hummed an old tune.
Since the battle with Annie, Mikasa refused to leave Eren's side - not that anyone expected her to. Out of all the elements that determine her next course of action, Eren's well being is always dominant.
Her dark eyes were fixed on Eren, who was deep in slumber. All his scars and bruises were healed, and the only evidence he wore from the battle was the bandage wrapped smugly around his head. His visage was empty of any worries and hate. For once, Eren appeared calm, and Mikasa was glad of it.
If only it could stay that way.
Mikasa knew better; this tranquility was not going to last long. Soon, they will be facing titans again. Though, just for that small moment, Mikasa was going to relish in the quiet. She was going to be thankful for the time she had with Eren in peace. No worries, for now.
She adjusted herself in her seat and allowed herself to drink in the sight of Eren.
I'm glad that you came back.
This is my first fic for Attack on Titan. I've been wanting to write one for a while. So please, don't be harsh.
This takes place after the big battle in ep 25. I have to admit, I do love Eren and Mikasa but this isn't supposed to be romantic. I just find their relationship interesting.
