After his successful infiltration into Marley, Eren was finally free to be on his own for some time.
He sat in his hospital bed, in the guise of an injured Eldian soldier. Even though he carried the weight of being a spy, for the time being, he felt content in knowing that he, as well as his friends, had successfully made it into Marley.
It was still too early for the real mission to start. All he had to do now was to stay in the hospital without raising suspicion.
Eren realized that it had already been several months since he had been away from home. He hadn't seen Mikasa, Armin or any of his squad members since then. He sat there with his eyes closed, picturing the faces of his friends in his mind.
He was still Eren Jaeger, he had to remind himself.
But it was hard to believe it was indeed himself, with what he had become.
His long hair swept across his forehead, covered in bandages. He had grown taller too. He hadn't shaved and his body was in pain since he had to control the regeneration of his severed leg.
He sighed in discomfort.
As he sat there sulking, he felt someone enter the door behind him and come into the room.
"A nurse?" He thought to himself and started to lie down.
"You're here..." He heard a familiar, trembling voice.
He turned to look her way.
She was wearing a nurse outfit but she was certainly not a nurse.
She had her jet-black hair in a loose ponytail hanging over her shoulder. Her bangs were roughly sweeping over her eyes. Her eyes were wide with surprise, unlike her other Asian features such as her milk white skin, and they glittered behind her tears. A familiar scar under her eye looked fainter than before. Her plump lips quivered slightly as their eyes met.
She slightly reminded him of his mother.
"Mikasa..." He trailed off, in shock. He knew he couldn't say her name too loud. She was sent under cover too.
For the first time in a long time, he let his guard drop and felt the tension leave his body. His gaze softened, though he was unable to smile.
She came and sat beside him, maintaining a reasonable distance.
"So, you guys are finally here, safely." Eren mumbled. "It's been a while, Mikasa."
"Yes...it has been." She said, putting her warm hand over his. She realized that she had to look up at him to meet his eyes.
"You've changed, Eren-"
"Just call me Kruger. I'm Kruger." He quickly said.
"I was asked to come here to you. But where do we go from here?" She said, clutching his hand.
"We wait. Until the time is right." He whispered.
"Ms. Sayako!" Someone yelled from outside the room. "It's your shift now."
"I need to go. I'll come to you later." She said quickly and scuttered away. Eren looked at his hand. It suddenly felt cold.
At some time of the day, Eren fell asleep in his bed, waiting for her. He realized he needed the familiar warmth of Mikasa's hand again, in that cold and unfamiliar place.

Eren woke up in the middle of the night. He felt the warmth of Mikasa's hand in his. It was dark and the room was closed. The only source of light was the full moon shining through the open window near his bed.
"You should sleep too..." He said and she flinched.
"You're finally awake!" He could hear the happiness in her voice.
They fell silent for a moment.
Then Mikasa spoke softly.
"Eren...I have missed you." She said, leaning in and placing her head on his chest. "I thought I wouldn't see you again..."
He placed his hand on her head, caressing her silky hair.
A few years ago, he could not realize her feelings for him. But after he had inherited his father's memories, he had changed in a lot of ways.
In that moment, he felt his body react to every single breath of hers on his chest. His heart beat grew faster and he felt his temperature rise.
"Eren, your heart's beating fast. Are you okay?" She asked.
"I'm fine. If you want to lie down, you can lay next to me. There is space." He said.
He felt her quietly slip into the space next to him in bed.
He reached for her hand and kissed it in the dark.
"I have missed you too".
Mikasa couldn't believe it. Had Eren really shown her affection? It could only confirm her doubts that he indeed had changed a lot. He had become manlier. She felt her own heart speed up at that thought.
"Do you want to do it, Mikasa?" Eren asked. His voice, serious as ever. And his eyes, locked into hers.
"Do what...?" She murmured.
Eren sat up in bed and held her small face between his large hands.
"Did dad ever tell you how babies are made?" He chuckled.
Mikasa took a second to absorb what he said and the next moment her face was bright red and hot.
She knew they were of the age and for her, there was no one but Eren. All her life and whatever life she had left in that cruel world, she wanted to spend by Eren's side. Suddenly, she wanted to close the distance between them. She wanted to hold him and give him love, physical and all, and become a part of him in ways she never imagined
She nodded with tears in her eyes. A little smile spread over her lips.
"If it's you, then I want to do it, Eren." She whispered.
She was scared, but so extremely happy.
Eren pulled her by the hand and suddenly, their lips touched. He kissed her lips, biting them ever so gently with each stroke of tongue.
"Eren...I.." Mikasa pulled away, panting heavily. "I love you Eren..."
She was finally able to put her feelings into right words.
Eren felt a tug at his heartstrings and he knew then, that he too was deeply in love with her.
"I... love you too..."he managed to whisper inaudibly.
He realized that it was such an easy sentence, yet so hard to say. He was still a child when it came to emotions.
He could only show her how he felt.
'I'm going to take off your clothes now, okay?"
She nodded.
He pulled the tight nurse uniform and tore it down the middle. The buttons broke off and scattered on the floor. Then he unhooked her cotton bra. Somehow, all of this, came easy to him. Perhaps he had his inherited memories to thank for that as well, in some weird way.
Mikasa laid naked before him. Her skin was pale and unbelievably smooth. She had even lost weight, though she still had beautiful abs.
He leaned down and kissed her breast, making her moan loudly.
"Shhh...if someone hears us, we'll be found out." Eren whispered to her.
"It's Eren's fault I'm like this..." She complained.
Eren smiled and slipped his hand between her legs. He started to pleasure her in ways she had never felt before. She started to tremble under his touch. Quickly, his other hand went on top of her mouth, stifling her moans.
She climaxed into his hand, soaking it wet.
"I'm sorry..." She looked embarrassed and red, as if she had made a mistake.
He licked all of the liquid off his hand and kissed her...this time more passionately and everywhere. From her lips to her eyes, her neck and her chest, her tummy and her thighs. Even her feet.
"I love you Mikasa.". He was finally able to say it boldly and meant every word of it too.
A wide smile spread across her lips and she leaned towards him, kissing his neck.
Eren jolted in response.
"How can I make you feel good too? Is there no way?" She asked, innocently.
"...there is, actually. Do you want to?" He asked her.
She nodded. "I want to make Eren feel good".
He unzipped his pants and placed her hand on the bulge inside.
"If you do this..." He moaned softly. "Then it feels good."
Mikasa followed along. Pleasuring him until he climaxed in her hand. She licked it, like he had and weakly kissed his cheek and then fell on the bed, quickly falling asleep.
Eren chuckled. "You got tired easily..."
He covered her with sheets and laid next to her.
When he woke up again, Mikasa was working her shift in the hospital. But whenever their eyes met, they knew something was different.
They knew they were madly in love.
