Come on Mikasa, just tell Eren. Just admit it. Mikasa thought as she walked down to the cafeteria with Eren. He will understand even if he doesn't feel the same way. I hope. Mikasa reasoned with herself as they continued walking.
"Mikasa? Your face is growing red." Eren blurted out
"What?" Mikasa jolted back to reality and pulled up her scarf to cover her blushing face.
What's wrong with Mikasa today? She seems….Distracted. Eren pondered as they entered the cafeteria. And why does she look so…vulnerable? Eren danced with these thoughts for a while and Mikasa went to go get them some food. She's just so…cute. Wait, why am I thinking this? I shouldn't be thinki-
"Eren?" Mikasa interjected. She sat down with a few pieces of bread, some fruit and water. The cafeteria was filled with other people casually eating, talking and laughing. They started chowing down on the food that Mikasa had gotten. Both of them sat there eating in complete silence, letting their thoughts take over. Fine, I'll tell Eren, or I'll ask him, I just need an answer.
"Eren can I ask you something?"
"Sure"
"What do you think of me?" Silence fell upon them. No-one spoke a word as they continued eating, not even when they left. They split up, each of them continued with their own lives for the rest of the day.
Why couldn't I answer? Why couldn't I even look at her after she asked me that question? Eren thought to himself while he was lying on his bed. Are there things I don't want to say? Or are there things that I can't say? Do I really need Mikasa? Is she important to me? What are the answers to these questions? Oh well, I should leave these questions for tomorrow. Eren concluded as he drifted off to sleep. Meanwhile Mikasa was having the same problem. Why didn't Eren answer? I really hoped that Eren would answer. What if he doesn't need me anymore? I hope that isn't true. Mikasa toiled over these thoughts but eventually gave up on finding answers and fell asleep.
The relationship between Eren and Mikasa changed after that. They were colder to each other, they barely spoke. They barely acknowledged each other. Armin was worried for the two but barely did anything. After a few days Eren and Mikasa both knew that had to address what was going on but never did. They only met when Eren was sleeping in a bright field littered with flowers. The sun was shining brightly and Eren was sleeping in the shade of a massive tree. Mikasa noticed him sleeping there and slowly trudged towards him. Her dark hair fluttered in the breeze and her mouth curled into a small smile as she got closer to Eren. She adored the scruffy look of Eren.
"Eren?" Mikasa tentatively asked as she lowered herself to be sitting next to Eren.
"Huh? Oh hey Mikasa" Eren responded as he sat up and leant on the hard bark of the tree.
"Eren I'm going demand an answer"
"Ok"
"Do you love me?" Mikasa asked staring Eren straight in the eye and holding his hand, slightly caressing it.
"Do I have to answer that?" Eren answered looking back at Mikasa staring at her jet black hair and her lovely crystal-like eyes. He was drawn aback by a tear rolling down Mikasa's cheek and dropping to the blades of grass of the earth.
"I'll give you a real answer then" Eren continued staring at Mikasa, reminiscing about all the times they shared and took a deep breath. Here goes nothing. Eren thought.
~AUTHORS NOTE AND OTHER STUFF~
Thanks for reading. Even though not many people are reading I just like writing these. Also my story progresses rather slow compared to other ones I've read. Thanks for dealing with all my crap. Really clunky writing, but I've never written one of these things. Also they may make no sense. Reviews and criticism accepted :D
