Later
Eren's PoV
I went back home and began packing for our trip. Me and Mikasa live in separate homes now. Sometimes it gets lonely without her, I wonder if she gets lonely too?
Anyway I pack a blanket and some of Mikasa's and mine's favorite food. I head out and walk to the tree spot. I see Mikasa leaning against the tree. Wow, she looks so beautiful, even more than usual. Maybe I'll find out why I've been feeling like this today.
Mikasa's PoV
I see Eren walking towards me. Why is he looking at me like that? Is it possible that he likes me? No, that would never happen. Well, when we were kids he told me to not treat him like a brother. Maybe, it's because he doesn't love like that. I'll find out today.
Narrator's PoV
Mikasa and Eren talk for the whole day eating, laughing, and talking about old memories. (It's around 2:00 pm or 14:00)
"Hey Eren, can I tell you something?"
"Yeah, what is it?"
"Lately I keep dreaming that Wall Maria will fall again. And each time it happens, I become paralyzed with fear, in the dream. I'm worried that if it does happen again I'm not going to be able to protect anyone, or even myself." Mikasa said, leaning on Eren.
"You don't have to be scared, I'll protect you" Eren turns Mikasa around and gently holds on to her shoulders
"How?" She said, looking at Eren expectantly for an answer.
"Like this." As if on cue, Eren sub-consciously leans in and kisses Mikasa. (Author's note: LET THE FANGIRLING BEGAN.)
Mikasa's PoV
Eren leans in and kisses me. It's full of passion but gentle at the same time. I can feel his care for me in this kiss and I don't want it to end. I begin to feel all my fears and worries evaporate like Titan blood. It's like the day Eren saved me all over again. I feel like that if he's alive and here with me, I can do anything.
Eren's PoV
I lean into Mikasa and kiss her. I feel like all my emotions I have felt about her are pouring into the kiss. Maybe what I have been feeling all this time is love. I don't want to stop but we do anyway, remembering that oh so needed thing called 'air'. We look at each other with a loving gaze.
"I guess this is why you said you're not my brother." She jokes.
"I guess so." I respond understanding what she means.
"I never knew you loved me like this. I thought it was a possibility but I always brushed it off, thinking that it couldn't be so."
"Well, I do love you. I wasn't sure first either, but now I know." Said I resurringly.
