Continuation to the first chapter.


He had just confessed to me. It wasn't me who made the first move. What should I do? Will things be different now? How should I react? Those thoughts kept swimming around in her head. The 104th's strongest soldier and brightest star was completely shocked at the boy's confession. She had been hoping to tell him for a while now. She wanted to confess to him first, but now that he had made the first move, she was clueless. She just stood there.

"Mikasa, what's wrong?" Krista rushed to Mikasa's side with Ymir following.

"Practicing with Eren must've left the poor girl speechless." Ymir added with a grin.

"Ymir!" Krista said with some anger in her voice.

"Krista... Ymir..." The words slowly crept out of Mikasa's mouth.

"Yes?" Both of them replied at the same time.

"We need to talk." Mikasa was acting far from her usual self.

-45 minutes full of Ymir's laughter, Krista's apologies for Ymir's laughter and Mikasa's red cheeks later-


Eren was sitting under the shade of a tree, his cheeks red and head full of thought. Armin was beside him, a grin was still plastered on the blonde's face. They were both far from the training grounds.

"Who knew that Shadis would give us much of the day off?" Armin asked, not really expecting an answer. "You should've delayed the confession until you got to more appropriate conditions."

"N-no the sooner I got it out, the better." Eren was still nervous. "What now?"

"Let things take their course. Things won't be the same again. You'll probably have to see her soon." Armin was proud to see his best friends' relationship finally moving forward.

Crap. Eren didn't think of what to do if he saw her again.

Armin saw something in the distance. He politely excused himself and left. Eren was alone under the tree.

"Eren, time for lunch." The words hit Eren's ear. It wasn't the words he was afraid of, the person who said them gave him much more of a fright. It was Mikasa, with her usual blank expression and her scarf covering her cheeks.

Nothing has changed. I guess I've been rejected. Eren thought, as he slowly stood up. He hadn't realized that it was a few minutes too early for lunch. He also didn't see Ymir, Krista and Armin looking at them from afar.

Mikasa stepped on Eren's right foot as he tried to stand up, this caused him to lose balance. Mikasa grabbed his hand as he fell, forcing them both down.

Again, she was on top of Eren but this time there was no space between them. Her lips were locked with his. This time, the kiss lasted longer, becoming more and more passionate each second. She abruptly stopped.

She whispered into his ear. "I love you."

"I love you too." He replied.

The bell rang, they both stood up, but they weren't going to the mess hall.


-Bonus-

Jean was late for lunch, he had been forced to do laps as a punishment for an offense. He was walking past the storage closet when he heard something.

"Eren!" Mikasa's voice

"Holy Shit! Mikasa!... There's blood!" Eren's voice

"I'm supposed... to bleed the first time!" Mikasa replied.

Jean decided to give up on lunch and instead went to go look for Connie. He would have no more faith in humanity after this.
