Hey guys! This is OUAP! I had a magnificent thought today, and that thought was to write this fanfiction. You see, I haven't been around to write fanfiction that much and I decided that you guys deserve something from me. Therefore, I was inspired by a post on tumblr about an AU fanfic for SNK and I decided to act on it! So sit back, relax, and read Streetlight Chasers.
"Why don't we just go somewhere?"
Mikasa looked up from her spot on the floor. Her adopted brother, Eren, was steadily painting his nails staring sternly at the brush. The sudden outburst had come out of nowhere as the room was relatively quiet, save for the song playing on the radio near the window. Mikasa pushed herself up into a sitting position before Eren finally continued with his sentence.
"We're seventeen, almost eighteen now. Its summer and I don't want to sit here and practically do nothing the entire three months."
She would hardly consider breaking into your sister's room and using her nail polish to be nothing. However, she had to agree. Every summer they did the exact same thing. Eren would complain, bitch and moan, but he would never do anything to change what was going on. Mikasa would go along with whatever hairbrained scheme he created and in the end, they'd be scolded nearly to death by Karla Jaeger. Long nights staying up and eating junk food, playing video games, running about outside and finally sleeping until fall came and school started again. She never really thought about it but their daily routine sounded a bit mundane and the urge for differentiation was boiling inside of her as well.
"What do you suggest that we do?"
In that moment, a grin so wide occurred on Eren's face that she was almost scared that it would break his head in two. He closed the nail polish, set it on her side table before blowing on his nails hurriedly.
"Roadtrip."
The word cause Mikasa's eyebrows to reach a new height and she folded her arms over her chest.
"Okay, okay. I know what you're thinking but here me out. This is an awesome idea because if we go on a roadtrip, we don't have to hear Mom and Dad. Besides, Dad already left to go on his medical convention thing with all his old buddies, and its just you and me now with Mom. If we leave at the precise moment, there is no way that she'll be able to catch us."
Mikasa pondered on the thought but there were holes in Eren's plan.
"What about money? You know, for gas, a place to stay, and how will we stay off the grid long enough for us to have our fun and mom not to blow a fuse?"
Eren waved a newly polished finger back and forth at his sister's questions. There were answers to everything with him.
"That is simple, Mikasa. We don't use our cellphones, buy new ones and I have been saving up money for this kind of thing and I know that you have a lot of money stashed away. Lets just pool it together and have the time of our lives! C'mon, what do you say? It'll be fun. Please. Please. Please."
Big emerald green eyes bore at her with the look of a helpless puppy and she let out a sigh. Even if she didn't go, he would have done everything in his power to go without her or persuade her. Nodding her head, Eren threw his arms up and let out a cry of joy before his mother's angry yell for sleep and quiet brought him down to a smaller level.
"We leave tonight."
The two of them set to work staying quiet as possible. Mikasa gathered most of her clothes and placed it in a duffle bag while Eren placed their money into a silver pouch tucking it into the bag as well. They decided to leave behind more superficial things taking only the essentials. Grabbing Mikasa's car keys, the two of them snuck out into the night making sure to leave no trace behind. When Mikasa started up the car, Eren could barely contain his excitement and the clock turned to midnight when the two of them peeled out of the driveway and into the world itself.
