Eremika Day 1: Crossover/ Superheroes
In which Mikasa decides playing Animal Crossing together would make for a pleasant date for her and Eren
AU in modern world where Eren and Mikasa are dating
Eren and Mikasa face each other on a long couch, their legs sprawled out slightly so their feet just touch. Both gaze intently at the Nintendo 3DS in their hands.
"Is it loading?" Mikasa asks.
"It says it is. It's still doing the spinny thing," Eren complains.
Mikasa groans. "I hope it hurries. I want to see your Animal Crossing town."
"Um, about that, I don't think it's going to be as great as—"
"Ah! Finally! It loaded!" Mikasa exclaims. Her character appears in Eren's town, and she watches as Eren's character walks up to her. Mikasa narrows her eyes.
"What's with your hair?" Mikasa asks.
"What about it?" Eren responds.
"Why do you have the most awful case of bedhead? Have you even been to the Shampoodle?" she asks.
"The what? I don't know. I think I unlocked that. Why, what is it?"
"It changes your hairstyle. Come on, Eren, this is Animal Crossing 101."
"Look, my hair just got like that after I stopped playing for a bit, and I just let it be. I kind of like it anyway," Eren responds.
"Fine. Show me around your town," Mikasa says.
"Uh..." He leads his character further into his town, and Mikasa eagerly follows behind him. She lets out a gasp as he continues walking.
"Now what?" Eren complains.
"You have so many weeds! Do you never pick them?" his girlfriend exclaims.
"I'm starting to think this wasn't really the best date idea," Eren grumbles.
"You've really just let your town go to waste," Mikasa observes. "The whole point is to create the most aesthetically pleasing town. You don't even have paths down."
"I thought the point was to create your town however you wanted," Eren teases.
All at once, Eren's character takes off sprinting on the screen. Mikasa lets out a squeal and leans forward from her comfy position, ripping the DS out of Eren's hand.
"What?!" Eren exclaims. "Now what did I do? Give me that back!" he says, reaching for the blue device as Mikasa holds it above him.
"Do you have any idea what running does on this game? You're going to kill all your grass and flowers!" Mikasa exclaims.
Eren narrows his eyes. He reaches his hand around her waist and pulls her down onto him, successfully snatching the DS from her grasp. Mikasa lets out a gasp and frowns while Eren laughs at her.
"Your poor town," she groans, resting her chin on his chest and glaring at him.
"I think you're a bit too focused on the minimal details of the game," Eren tells her. "I'll stop running, how's that?"
"Fine," Mikasa responds, glancing back at her DS screen.
Eren leads down toward her, and she reaches up to kiss him, still furious at the way he treats his town.
"Can we have fun now?" he asks.
"Okay," she agrees. "Can we get comfier though?"
Eren nods and stretches out. Mikasa lays across him and reaches her hands forward to rest the DS and her arms on the edge of the couch while Eren wraps one arm around her and holds the DS with the other.
"Let's just go play on Tortimer Island," Mikasa suggests. "That way I don't have to see any more of your ghastly town."
"Wow, thanks," Eren remarks.
They lead their characters down to Kapp'n's boat and laugh as they fish together, catch bugs, and of course, test their competitive nature in multiple mini-games. Not much conversation lurks between them besides the occasional laughter or show-off of a great catch.
"See, this is more like it," Eren says as they finish yet another mini game.
"You're right. You can just come visit my town next time as long as you promise not to run," Mikasa scolds.
"I will humbly accept your offer and will take your advice, o' wise master," Eren responds. "Are we done on the island?"
"Yeah," Mikasa agrees.
When they return to Eren's town, Eren glances up toward her from the couch.
"Hey, we done now? Unless you want to insult my town anymore?" Eren questions.
"Nah, but give me some fruit."
"What?"
"Yeah, why do you think I suggested this? I need your town's fruit so I can get them all. I have every fruit except oranges, and that's what you have," Mikasa explains.
Eren gasps. "You...used me?"
"Oh my god, Eren, just let me grab a piece of fruit," Mikasa begs. She watches in horror as a message flashes on her DS screen. Eren is ending the host session.
"Eren! No! I didn't grab an orange!"
Eren snickers beside her, and Mikasa cries out as her character is sent back home to her own town. Mikasa turns around and glares at him. She watches as Eren shuts his DS and smiles at her.
"Darn. Guess you'll have to play again with me," he teases.
Mikasa shoves him lightly. "I'll get my revenge at some point. But fine. We'll play again. And I'm leaving with an orange this time," she says, moving off of him and getting up from the couch.
"Very well. Until next time then."
She rolls her eyes and leans forward. The two share a quick kiss, and then Mikasa eyes him. "You annoy me so much."
"I know," Eren responds, leaning forward to kiss her again.
