As much as I wanted to kill Annie, I held back for Eren's sake. I knew he was still in denial about everything. Everyone was. The worst part of it was, Annie killed people who meant alot to Eren. That's what hurts me the most, seeing him suffer. If I could, I would gladly return the favor to her. I want to see her suffer, but that's selfish of me. I always question on why I fell for Eren Jaeger, it runs through my mind everyday. All I know is that I don't regret falling for him. He might think I see him as a " little brother" but, I don't. I'm deeply in love with him. Although, I know I can't ever tell him that, or at least not yet..
"M-mikasa..?"
I turned around, and ironically, it was Eren. He looked concerned as he saw me deep in thought.
"Are you alright Mikasa?"
I clenched my fist, unaware of my actions. I wasn't paying attention to anything he was saying, I gave him a blank stare.
"What?"
He frowned at me and grabbed my arm roughly.
"What's wrong, you seem out of it."
I snatched my arm back away from his grip and brushed my sleeve.
"Nothing Eren. I'm fine."
"It doesn't seem that way at all. You haven't made that face ever since we first met."
I never thought he would mention that day again, the day that he saved me. But I guess I was wrong.
"..."
I looked him straight into his eyes as tears filled mine. Aware of my tears, I attempted to wrap the scarf he gave me to cover my face, but he stopped me.
"Stop being stupid Mikasa."
Eren embraced me into a tight hug. I could feel his warmth press against my body. I felt at home, I felt protected.
" I'm sorry, I was just thinking about everything and how you've been there for me. I'm selfish, my actions are ridiculous.."
"Mikasa, give it a rest already please."
Eren laughed and wrapped the scarf around my face, as I attempted to do earlier.
"I could have done that myself." I blushed.
"Well yeah, you could have. But I decided I wanted to do it. Just like I did in the past. I actually wanted to apologize for acting the way I did. I know you're very protective of me. But I was too harsh on you, and you don't deserve that at all."
I was quiet surprised by his words, Eren tends to be cold towards me. Even though I know he cares, he barely shows any affection.
"Eren, I have a question. I know many things are happening right now and this may not be relevant to anything but.. If my parents weren't killed and you didn't save me.. Do you think you would be the same..?"
Eren stared at me for a few seconds before leaning his head against my shoulder.
" I wouldn't be the same."
