Holà! So yeah I know where I want this story to go, it's kinda just taking me a while to get there. This is a late update but hopefully you guys like it! Remember to review please (kind but tough love) and if you guys have anything you wish to see happen I am open for suggestions! Okay now more story! :)
Fuck.. why are the lights so bright?... and where am I?
"Mikasa?" I could hear someone say. "Mikasa, can you hear me?" I felt someone's gentle hand stroking my hair, and chattering all around me.
"hmmm." I groaned. My head felt like someone had hit me with a chair.
"Relax everyone, back up and give her some air." I heard a stern voice say. "Ackerman." Ackerman? Was that supposed to be me?
"Arlert, get me another cold towel." I could hear the voice say again. Why were there so many voices?
" Rivaille, she's waking up!" I could barely make out icy blue eyes. Was he the one stroking my head?
"Mikasa? Can you hear me?" The same voice, only softer than the others had been. More soothing.
"Too many.." I managed to groggily say, scrunching up my face hoping they would take the hint. Thankfully someone did.
"Alright, everyone out except Arlert and Jaegar!" Rivaille barked out.
When I felt it was safe I opened my eyes to see three men staring down at me. The first man was quite pale, but handsome nonetheless. His eyes were narrow and grey and boring into me, his expression bored and calm as if nothing of importance was taking place.
Although he was kneeling at my side so maybe I was reading him wrong. He also seemed more mature than the other two, if only by a few years maybe? The other male sitting at my left was blonde with beautiful big blue eyes, gently stroking my hand in his and a small smile spread across his lips.
And then there was this lap. This unusually warm pair of thighs cradling my head. Long rough fingers ran through my hair, while the other held a cold cloth to my forehead. He had the most beautiful dark green eyes I have ever seen, relief filling them as he let out a sigh. His complexion was like honey, with a muscular physique. His body was warm against my own as the back of his fingers caressed my cheek…wait…back the hell up! He's doing what?
Stupidly forgetting how drained I was, I instantly shot up from his lap, knocking our heads together in the process, and once again I was on the floor. "Shit!" I heard him groan, holding his noes.
They all looked confused and on edge, the boy with the green eyes more aggravated than confused.
"What the hell Mikasa!" he squeaked.
"Who the hell are you?! And why do I feel like Travis Barker used my head for a drum set? I demanded putting pressure against my now throbbing headache.
They all glanced at each other, once again with confused and panicked looks on their faces.
"What are you talking about?" He asked again.
"I said, who the fuck are you? And what am I doing here?" I repeated unbelievably slowly as if I were talking to a two year old. I was becoming annoyed really fast and I didn't know how much longer I could take before I put them all in the emergency room.
"Fuck. Jaeger, I think she's serious." The shorter man spoke up.
"Eren, I think he's right." Eren huh? Was that Esmeralda's name? "Mikasa, do you know who we are?" The blonde boy questioned. His eyes were panicked awaiting my response.
"Now if I knew that, I wouldn't be about to kick all of your asses right now would I?" I spat.
This time the shorter male stepped forward and crouched down to my eye level. His name was Rivialle I think. At least that's what blondie called him.
"Hey Princess listen up.. My name is Rivialle Ackerman, your dance instructor. The blonde kid is Armin Arlert, a good friend of yours, and that fuck up over there is Eren Jaegar, your dippy fiancé as of 20 minutes ago. And you sunshine are Mikasa Ackerman." He said bluntly, and by the look on his face he was dead serious. Which meant I was in deep shit. A look of utter disbelief flashed across my face and all of a sudden I felt sick again.
"W…w-what the hell?! M-my fiancé?" I looked over to Eren, my heart now beating uncontrollably out of my chest. There was no way I could be engaged! And Rivaille sure as hell didn't look like a dance instructor.
"Don't screw with me twerp! " I shot up and took a step forward. "Are you really my instructor or some kid I babysat last week? How old are you anyway?!" I yelled.
"Why you little bit…" I cut him off as he growled preparing to lunge as Armin grabbed him by the arm.
"And you!" I whirled around, giving Eren a death glare. "If I'm your fiancé where's the ring hmm?" I yelled holding up my ring finger.
Instantly his eyes became wider, panicking and thrown off by the question. "Well… I never actually got a chance to put in on your finger before you…fainted." He was barely keeping his composure. Defeat and guilt written all over his gorgeous face. Wait, what am I thinking? Stop it! You don't even know this kid. I shook my head to rid my head of naughty thoughts.
"Bullshit! Nice try." I snapped and turned on my heels to leave.
"Mikasa wait!" Armin shouted. He managed to snag a hold of my arm until I jerked it back, his hands going up in defense, backing up to give me space.
"Please, just listen for a minute. Eren and I are your best friends, and Rivaille is.." He trailed off at the look on Rivailles face as he covertly shook his head in response. "Well he's also a friend. "He continued. "We've been friends since we were kids. You and Eren started dating three years ago, and tonight he proposed." I've been dating him for 3 years? "You are also one of the top dancers of this academy. Is any of this coming back to you at all?"
A look of desperation was in his eyes. I knew the answer he wanted, but I honestly had no idea who any of them were. I actually started to feel a little bad for my "fiance' too. His big puppy dog eyes, just begging me to recall…. but I couldn't.
"No, it's not." I let out a deep sigh, my head hanging now in frustration. I hated this. These all seemed like really nice people, even Rivaille more or less, and I couldn't remember a thing about any of them at all.
"Did I say yes?" I asked out of nowhere. I hadn't planned on the question slipping out, but I had been dwelling on it ever since they brought it up.
They all looked to each other in confusion, unsure of how to answer the question. Eren's face however was fuming and red, as if all of his efforts for the perfect proposal had gone to waste.
"No, you didn't get the chance. You fainted from heat exhaustion and dehydration before you could respond." Armin simply stated.
"Oh, I see." This situation was truly messed up. What was worse is the man I've known all my life and have been dating for three years would probably never get his response if I didn't snap out of it.
"Alright Ackerman, so what do you want to do now? You don't' seem to remember any of us, so you sure as hell won't remember anyone else. Would you feel comfortable going home with Eren?" Rivaille questioned. Wow he actually seemed sincere. I honestly hadn't thought about where I would stay. I was too busy playing Whack-a-Mikasa for the past 45 minutes.
"Maybe." I hesitated. "Do we really live together? Or is this a sick trick to get me to go home with you?" I questioned bluntly.
Eren finally spoke up, "Actually, you Armin and I all live together along with 4 other roommates. We share a duplex in the city."
This couldn't have gotten any more complicated had I been pregnant. Oh god I better not be pregnant! I lifted the towel from earlier to my head in an attempt to calm myself down. I noticed Rivaille attempting to do the same except he was massaging the bridge of his nose.
"Look, maybe I should stay with my parents for a while until I at least know a little more about everyone." I suggested, trying to relieve the headache everyone was starting to attain.
Simultaneously they all looked away. Oh great, now they were about to tell me my parents disowned me or something.
Armin finally spoke up, "They don't live in the city, and I don't think we should worry them right now as late as it is. For all we know your memory could be back tomorrow and we will have worried them for nothing."
There was something they weren't telling me. Eren and Rivialle both gave him curious glances, but I wasn't going to question it now. I was starting to feel fatigue again.
"Alright then, I'll go with you, but first I need to meet everyone else. I don't need to be in a house with a bunch of psychopaths by myself." I said rolling my eyes.
"Or.." Rivialle began. " If you're comfortable enough, you can stay at my place for the night. This way you only have one psycho to deal with. I'm sure you can handle that." He said giving me a mocking smirk. I didn't know what to think of the joke, especially when I saw the death glare Eren gave him after he offered.
He did have a point though. I would feel better being in a house with one strange man rather than 7 random people. But something was telling me to check with Eren, just to make sure. After all he was my fiancé… sort of.
"Eren?" He turned to me, his eyes still boiling from Rivaille's last offer. "Would you mind me staying with Rivaille or is there something I should know that someone isn't telling me?"
His fists clenched at the question, and almost immediately he relaxed them taking deep breaths. He hesitated speaking his next words. "N..No, I trust Rivialle, and I think you will be fine staying at his place. As long as you're comfortable, that's all that matters to me."
"I see." I said cooly. " Well then. I guess I'm coming with you then." I said with a smirk. His face snapped up in confusion, looking to Armin for answers, who was equally taken aback.
"B-but I thought you weren't comfortable with all the people?" He asked, that confused look never leaving his face.
"Well, no man would ever let his fiancé stay at another man's house, but that fact that you cared that much about my comfort says you're a sweet guy. So tonight I will go home with you guys." I said giving a small smile.
Eren's expression quickly changed to a cocky grin himself, immediately making me rethink my decision. This was no longer about trusting him, but rather me not trusting myself to pounce on him then and there. This kids cocky nice guy act was turning me on. My body suddenly felt warm and tingly all over again. Only this time I didn't want it to stop.
