This is my attempt at a MikaSasha fanfic. I don't own Attack On Titan, Shingeki no Kyojin, any of the characters of the series. This is a work of fanfiction.
...
The re-taking of Trost was proving to be a monumental task to say the least. Only a handful of titans remained by now, and the thought of having some breathing room with the titans dead gave the soldiers fighting a goal to look forward to. Sasha was deathly afraid of the titans, but didn't mind fighting them because she knew it needed to be done. She had just felled one of the beasts by slashing at its Achilles tendon, and she jumped on its neck and used her blades to cut through the skin of the weak spot on its neck, finishing the titan off for good. She stepped away from the carcass and leaned up against crates left next to a hastily evacuated merchant stand to catch her breath. "Almost there." She said to herself as she pulled a loaf of bread from her pack to Munch on. "I guess I have time for a bite."
Her snack was interrupted by screaming coming from down the street, followed by a loud crashing sound. Her heart sank as she saw a titan emerging from a wrecked building in slow but hungry pursuit of an elderly man and his grandchildren. "No, they shouldn't be here." She said, putting her bread away as she charged down the street.
The cables shot forward and pulled her to the titans position. The titan had reached down to grab the man who was trying to push the children away from a gruesome fate. Sasha slashed at the outstretched right hand of the titan, cutting through muscle and bone, effectively disabling the hand. She spun around to see the left hand opening to grab at its target. She jumped up and tried to slash at the other hand, but her timing was off and the titan caught her in its grasp. "Oh my God, this is how it ends..."she said to herself, staring into the open maw before her.
She was getting closer to her doom when she heard the whoosh of gas from 3D gear, followed by the sound of blades cutting through skin. To her surprise, the grip she was held in went limp and the titan holding her fell to the street, allowing her to leap free. She checked on the old man and the children, all of whom were okay. She turned to see Mikasa walking up to her. Sasha ran to her and brought her in to a hug. Mikasa accepted the show of appreciation, but gave Sasha a gentle tap on the shoulder to ensure it didn't last too long, as there were still reports of titans in the area, albeit not many.
Sasha looked at Mikasa and said "I can't even begin to repay you for that, but I can try to start." as she reached into her pack and produced the loaf of bread she had been munching on earlier. She broke off a quarter of the bread and handed it to Mikasa. "You can have half of my last bread.
Mikasa didn't take this lightly, as Sasha rarely shared any of her food. She accepted the offering, partially out of not wanting to offend, also out of being a tad hungry herself. The two continued their patrol until regrouping with the others who laid waste to the last titan shortly before meeting back up. Everyone traded stories of the titan each one had killed as they made their way back to base for debrief and dinner. The mess hall was abuzz with troops celebrating their victory. Sasha was enjoying seconds without having to sneak it out. She kept close to Mikasa, praising her for saving her. "You still jumped in to save that old man, so its not like you didn't do anything." Mikasa told her, which made her blush a little.
After dinner and cleaning up, everyone made their way back to the barracks for the night. Mikasa was stopped in the hallway by a tugging at her shirt. She turned to find Sasha with an almost scared look on her face. "Sasha, its alright, you're safe now." Mikasa started, as she saw tears swelling in the girl's eyes. "I can imagine how you may have felt, but you're going to be aright now."
Sasha couldn't hold the tears in anymore. "I've never felt such a dark, bottomless fear before." Sasha began. "I saw that open mouth and thought it was over, but then you..."
Mikasa stopped her with a fingertip on her lips."What happened, happened. It's over now. If you need someone to talk to, or just to let it all out, I'm here.
Sasha crumbled to her knees in front of Mikasa, openly crying now. Mikasa followed her to the floor. "I was so scared, but you were so fast and calm, even killing that one. I wish I was more like you." Sasha said, leaning into a hug Mikasa began to offer. "You saved me. Thanks. If there's anything I can do for you, I owe you my life."
Mikasa held Sasha in the hug as she began to shake all over, still crying, of which both soon faded. Mikasa helped her to her feet, and walked her to her bunk to deposit her for the night. Sasha tugged at Mikasa's shirt again. "What's up?" Asked Mikasa.
"Would you do me a favor? I'll understand if you say no." Sasha asked her.
"What do you need?"
"Would you please...sleep in my bunk with me tonight?"
Mikasa stood there in silence for a moment at what was just asked of her. "I... guess it couldn't hurt."
The two climbed into the same bed, where they were facing each other. Mikasa closed her eyes in an attempt to get to sleep. She was kept up by Sasha pulling her in to hold her. Mikasa opened her eyes. Sasha looked into Mikasa's eyes. "I didn't mean to be too grabby."
Mikasa pulled Sasha in for a deep kiss on the lips, which startled her, but she didn't fight it. "umm... Thanks. I..." Sasha started, but Mikasa stopped her with her fingertip again.
"I'm pretty sure that's where this was heading. Let's get to sleep, okay?" Mikasa said. The two held each other and went off to sleep, not knowing what the next day might bring.
