"Armin, I'm going now." Eren informed his friend.
"Be careful, you wouldn't want Shadis catching you." Armin knew what Eren was doing. During their first year of training he kept trying to get them to stop doing their nightly practice, failure always met him. Every time he brought it up, Mikasa and Eren would always reply with a "No".
"Of course not." Eren ignored the sound Jean made. "She needs me."
He made his way out of the Boys' dormitory. There were rumors, that would be inevitable. Let them talk, I don't care. He thought, as he arrived at his destination, the Girls' dormitory.
When he entered her room, he found Sasha sitting next to her. Seeing him, Sasha gave him a nod before proceeding to her bed and going back to sleep. He made his way to her bed. The first time they did this, Mikasa was the one who snuck into the Boy's dormitory. After that and almost every night since, he would come to her. After a while, Mikasa's roommates stopped overreacting to his nightly intrusions, as long as he didn't come too early.
They were in each other's arms now, face to face. This was one of the few times he was able to show how he cared for her. Even if they argued earlier in the day, no matter how heated, he would always come to her. He felt his heart dance as he saw her smile, the one that only he had ever seen. He knew that every time he did this, Mikasa felt happy, comfortable, complete.
One time he wasn't able to comfort her. Never again. He thought.
"E-Eren."
"Yes Mikasa?"
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be."
I'm sorry Mikasa. I know I won't admit it but I'm the one who needs you. I'm sorry for pushing you away.
"Thank you." Mikasa spoke.
"I'll always be here, with you." He told her.
Thank you Mikasa for always staying by my side.
As both of them wandered into the land of dreams, where they would still be together, Eren remembered the rumors. Let them talk, I don't care. I'm the one who needs her.
