Pairing: Eren x Mikasa
Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan)
~Fluff!~
What Mikasa Wants
Eren is walking around staring intensely at every merchant shop he passes by. He closes his eyes and sighs in frustration. He tries to think of things that Mikasa likes, but nothing comes to mind. Why did he decide to wait until her actual birthday to look for a present? Eren began muttering to himself in annoyance.
"What does she even like?"
For as long as Eren had known her, she had never said what she wanted. It had always been about him, she had always put him first, last, and always. Eren sighed again before running into Armin.
"Hey Armin, do you know what Mikasa likes?"
"Huh? Wouldn't you know that better than me?"
"I can't think of anything, she never says what she likes!"
"Do you want me to go ask?"
Eren's eyes lit up.
"Yeah, that'd be nice."
Armin left to go find Mikasa. She was sitting on a bench teasing Sasha with some bread. When Armin approached, she looked up.
"Hey Mikasa, what do you like?"
Mikasa looked confused and a little surprised.
"What do you mean?"
Sasha grabbed the bread and began muching on it. She spoke around a mouthful of bread.
"He means, what kind of things do you like!"
Mikasa thought of Eren and her face turned pink. She pulled up her scarf to cover it up.
"Erm…"
Sasha clapped her hands together and laughed.
"That's obvious! She likes Eren!"
Mikasa kicked out at Sasha's leg but she had already hopped away. Armin stood there in embarrassment. He apologized and quickly left.
Armin met up with Eren in their barrack.
"So did she say what she liked?"
Armin nodded nervously.
"Well… she didn't actually say, but Sasha kind of said it for her…"
Armin's words trailed off and he began pacing nervously. He wasn't sure he should say anything but Eren was his best friend so…
"She… likes you."
Eren just stared at Armin.
"You're lying."
"I-I'm not!"
All of a sudden, Eren got up and raced out the door. It took him a little while, but he found Mikasa sitting alone on the grass. It was dark, it was almost midnight and Mikasa's dark hair blended into the night. Eren walked quietly behind her before sitting down next to her. He was nervous. When he thought about it, it was ironic. He was not afraid to fight titans but he was afraid of being rejected by Mikasa. She had always treated him like a little brother, he never thought that she had actually liked him more than that. Mikasa turned to him and smiled. His heart was beating loudly against his chest.
"Mikasa, what do you want for your birthday?"
She leaned into him a little and he fought the urge to wrap his arm around her. She shivered a little before answering.
"You. That's all I ever wanted."
That was it. He pulled her to him and he held her tightly.
"I love you."
His words sounded off to him, to gentle to be coming from his mouth. Mikasa looked up at him and placed a hand on his cheek.
"Me too. Eren, I love you."
Her voice sounded like music to his ears. Eren placed a kiss on her nose and then her mouth. It was the nicest thing she had ever felt. She felt his lips near her ear.
"Happy Birthday Mikasa."
THE END
