I love Shingeki No Kyojin and I've been wanting to write a fanfic on it I just didn't know what to write it about. So I opted for Rivaille x Mikasa and I know what I want to happen. The chapter's a bit short but I didn't how to start it so I'll make a long chapter next if anybody even likes this. Lol. So for a little information on the story it's set 10 years later and Eren and Mikasa have been separated; I'm afraid that's all I can give out for now so please enjoy :) x
Chapter One
Dear Eren,
The sun rising in the horizon is something that I've wanted to do with you ever since we were little. But instead I got to watch it with the Corporal. I wish I could show you what it's like being free, I wish I could tell you what it's like to wake up in the morning and hear the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks. It's beautiful out here. If only you were here to experience it with me.
It's been 5 years since we last spoke. Since I last wrote to you. I haven't had the time to get my hands on paper and write. I'm not sure why I decided today was the day I'd write but it felt right. Maybe it was the fact that I get to see you at last, in three days. I haven't seen you in ten years so I don't really know what to expect, I think you hate me for never writing back and I'm sorry.
I'm burning questions into my head and I don't even know the answer to them. Like, what if you don't even remember me? What if you've suddenly forgoten about me? Hell, I'm unsure myself if you're even alive. I wish I had gotten the chance to stay inside the walls and fight with you but I didn't understand why you wouldn't let me. It was dangerous enough evacuating an entire town outside the walls even Rivaille had second doubts about the plan.
I've changed Eren. I'm not that girl that everyone used to be pity on because she'd watched her family get murdered. I've grown as a person now. My own individual person. I'm not clingy and over protective of you anymore, I've learnt to let go and put my own faith in you. That's why I'm having faith in God that you're still alive.
Mikasa's pen hovered above the thin paper. Her hand had frozen. She stared at the huge, empty white space underneath her writing and wondered whether it was worth it to carry on her letter.
Her horse whined for attention and the raven haired girl sighed. She plopped her paper and pen on to the ground, putting a small coarse rock on top so the wind wouldn't blow it away. She approached her horse and began to pet it mildly with her soft, delicate hands. Her horse closed its big, coal eyes and flicked its thick ebony tail.
Mikasa was oblivious to Rivaille's presence behind her. He was reading through her letter with an impassive expression. His forest – green cape was vigorously flying because of the howling wind.
"You spelt 'forgotten' wrong. It's two t's not one." Rivaille corrected and Mikasa jumped out of her day dream almost instantly.
She backed away from the horse feeling a sigh of relief that it wasn't Jean who had read her letter. If it were he would've mocked her and made aggravating sounds to irritate her. At least with the Corporal he wouldn't even give a damn. "Corporal –"She paused for a second to follow Rivaille's beady gaze. He was surprisingly scowling at her horse. "I didn't think you'd come back early so I didn't wash her." She carried on apologetically referring to her horse.
Rivaille removed his gaze from the horse and placed it on to the timid girl stood before him. "Gather everyone together and tell them we're heading back to Wall Sina early. Feed the horses, it'll be a long ride 'til we reach the French border to Germany."
Mikasa blinked and wondered why they were already returning home so early. Could it be that Irwin sent another bird to deliver a message that stated we needed to urgently get home?
Rivaille turned and commenced walking away until Mikasa stopped him in his tracks.
"Corporal?" She called out and the short superior swivelled his body around to the sound of his name.
"Sorry Ackerman but I don't know why we're heading home early. I want to know the answer too but we don't always get what we want. Irwin must be in a predicament if he's asking for our return at this hour." He replied. Mikasa was astounded as to how he knew what she was already thinking. Maybe her aura gave it away or maybe it was that ten years of surviving together had brought them closer and he knew her too well to guess wrong at her words. Rivaille turned his back to the ebony haired girl and continued to walk away. "Wake Jean up when you're on your way down will you?" He asked, though it sounded more like a command rather than a question.
It feels too short :( but idk please review!
