'He's gone but I can't go with him…

I wish I could just fade away, just be there with you, but if I die…I won't be able to remember you.'

Mikasa sat there. It could've been seconds, it could've minutes, it could've been hours…it wouldn't make a difference because when she stood up she knew what she had to do.

She began to move forward with a rush, and she heard her foot crunch something behind her, which was peculiar considering there was nothing except the floor. She ran past the wood walls, which was a blur as she rushed forward faster than she had ever moved before.

When she hit, her eyes were clamped shut. She opened her eyes, but what she saw was horrifying. The knife had missed her target almost completely (besides skimming his neck and leaving a small cut,) and had hit the person she was trying to save straight in the chest.

Her new savior…

Eren Jaeger.

The man who was originally strangling Eren, dropped him quickly in surprise, and stared at the young nine year old girl in terror. Mikasa turned to the man, her knife in hand, her expression so terrifying that it could scare away an entire army, and lunged onto him, stabbing him vigorously, over and over again until she was sure he was dead.

And that's when she let grief take over. She dropped the knife, turned, and dropped to Eren's side, grabbing his shoulders and shaking him.

"Eren…! Eren…!" Mikasa said, her voice cracking, as her body wracked with sobs.

She fell onto his lifeless body, hoping that he'd wake up, that it was all…was all…

Just a dream.

Mikasa woke up screaming. All the feelings of pain, grief, and horror began surging through her body as she curled into herself tightly, tears streaming freely onto her knees.

Eren burst into the room, worry written all over his face. This was something he was used to from when he was younger. The first few months at the Jaegers had been full of nightmares, causing him to wake up to things like this often.

Eren quickly dropped onto her bed, right by her side, and as he looked up at him, her face filled with relief.

Mikasa began talking quickly, and her tears streamed faster as she said, "Eren…I…I…I'm sorry! I didn't mean to…it was an accident…! I'm sorry…I'm so sorry…I-"

She stopped talking when he placed a soft hand on her shoulder. After a second of silence, Eren pulled her into his chest.

Mikasa's eyes widened for a moment, until the tears came back, and she cried into him. Eren gently rubbed the back of her head, as he tucked her under his chin.

"Shhh…shhh…you have nothing to apologize for…I'm right here, and I'm not going anywhere," Eren whispered in a gentle, comforting voice, and rocked her gently.

After a few minutes of comforting words, Mikasa had calmed down and began quickly dozing off. Eren gently laid her down, got up, and was about to leave, when Mikasa quickly sat up and grabbed his hand.

"Please…don't leave…" Mikasa said, averting her gaze in slight embarrassment.

Eren sighed with a soft smile, gently lying back down on bed. Mikasa turned back into his chest, curling into him, and Eren wrapped his arms back around her.

"Thank you…" Mikasa said, her cheeks slightly pink, as she rested her ear on his chest right at his heart.

"Always, Mikasa…Always."
