Chapter 3: New Friends

Saturday

Everyone was still looking at Eren and Mikasa. They couldn't believe how easy Eren convinced Mikasa to join them tonight.

Eren didn't notice the looks and just replied „Nice! You won't regret it!"

Mikasa just nodded and stood up „I'll clean the rooms and the court, you can do the bathrooms and the living room." Afterwards she left the room.

Erens look turned to the others, now he noticed their looks. „Why are you looking at me like this?"

„Probably because she normally refuses to go out with anybody" Levi simply replied.

„Yes, and you convinced her with the greatest of ease." Armin added.

„Yes, it was almost weird" Krista told Eren.

Eren just shrugged „Anyway, you already decided where we go?"

Krista nodded „There is a nice bar where we'll go to."

Armin nodded in agreement as he stood up and took the dishes. „I'll do the kitchen with Krista."

Krista and Armin headed to the kitchen and Eren was about to leave as well.

„Yaeger!" Levi stopped him.

„Yes?" Eren looked at Levi.

„I appreciate what you did there, and I guess you are a good boy and I can entrust Mikasa to you.. but if you don't look after her or hurt her.. I'll kill you! Understood?"

Eren looked at Levis face for a moment, he knew this threat wasn't a joke. „Don't worry, I'll look after her and won't her in any ways."

Levi nodded and stood up "Good, now clean this place up, you'll find everything you need in the small chamber at the court."

Three hours later the almost the whole residence was cleaned, Eren stood in the court and looked around if there was any dirt left.

„Are you done?" a voice asked from behind.

Eren turned around and saw Mikasa „Almost, just the two bathrooms are left but I have to use it later."

„I'll clean the girls bathroom." she was about to leave but hesitated for a moment and added „Thank you."

Eren looked after her and smiled without noticing.

Once again her heard a voice behind him „You like her?"

Eren winced and turned around to face Armin „What?"

The blonde boy smiled at him „You like her? Do you?"

Eren thought for a second „I don't know her but think nobody should be alone all the time."

Armin nodded „I guess you're right, but if you try to get closer to her, do me a favour and don't hurt her, alright?"

Eren looked confused at Armin „You are the second person who said something like that, I'm not planning to hurt her."

Armin suddenly grinned „But you try to get closer to her."

Eren rolled with his eyes „I didn't say that. Anyway I have to clean the bathroom, see you later Armin."

Armin nodded „Alright, we meet at 17 PM here."

Some hours later, it was almost 17 PM, Eren wore one of his better jeans, a clean white shirt and a pair of white shoes. He left his room and saw that Armin and Sasha were already there. Armin wore a jeans as well and a black shirt, Sasha wore a yellow summer dress.

„Hey Sasha, I almost thought you're still sleeping." Eren said with a small grin.

The brown haired girl grinned „On a free day I just have to sleep as long as possible."

In this moment Krista joined them, the girl wore black high heels, a short white skirt and a black top. „Hey guys, where is Mikasa? Anybody told her when we meet?"

Armin nodded „Yes, I told her."

„Eren, can you look for her?" Krista asked the brown haired boy.

Eren nodded and went to her door and knocked one time. No response. He knocked a second time. The door opened a little bit and Mikasa looked through a small gap.

„Are you ready? We are waiting for you." Eren told her in a friendly tone.

She just looked at him, Eren noticed that she looked quite uneasy.

„I-I'm ready but-" she stuttered.

„So… what's the problem?" Eren asked her.

„Nothing! I just have to change my clothes! I'll join you in a minute." she replied and slammed the door.

Eren looked at the door in confusion before he went back to the others.

„And?" Krista asked Eren as he came back.

„She said she is ready but she has to change clothes. She acted weird."

Two minutes later Mikasa left her room and joined them, she wore jeans, red shoes, a red top and a black vest. The group left the residence and walked for about 10 minutes till they stood in front of the Bar Maria. They went in and sat down in a corner where Krista reserved a place for them.

„Do they have food as well?" Sasha asked Krista.

„I guess they have some snacks." she blonde girl replied.

„Good evening! You want to order something?" a young boy with light brown hair came to their table.
Krista looked at the boy „Jean? Since when do you work here?"

The boy smiled „Oh Krista! Didn't notice it's you, I work here for about a week now."

„Good to know, by the way, this is Armin, Sasha, Eren and Mikasa" Krista introduced them to Jean.

Jean nodded to everyone with a smile, when he looked at Mikasa he hesitated and blushed a little bit. „S-So.. what can I get you guys?" he finally asked.

Sasha ordered first„I take a portion french fries!"

„And the others?" Jean asked and looked through the group.

„Can you bring us a bottle Tequila and some glasses?" Krista asked before anybody else could answer.

„Of course" Jean replied and went in the kitchen.

„Tequila? Really? Last time we drunk Tequila didn't end well" Armin told.

Krista just waved him off.

„What happened last time?" Eren asked the blonde boy.

„I puked in the living room" Armin confessed with a serious face before he added „Levi almost killed me the day after."

Eren suppressed his urge to laugh „Well, just don't drink too much."

Armin just sighed „You don't say."

Shortly after Jean came back with their order. He served Sasha her fries and put a bottle Tequila and five small glasses on the table. He also gave Mikasa a cocktail.

„This one is on me." Jean said and blushed.

Mikasa looked at him in irritation. „Eh.. thank you."

Jean nodded and went off and Krista grinned at Mikasa.

„Uhhh I guess he likes you Mikasa." she blonde girl said.

„He doesn't know me, how can he like me?" she replied.

„I guess he likes your appearance." Krista answered.

„Ask for his number!" Sasha almost yelled.

Mikasa seemed overwhelmed „B-But I don't want his number."

„You're not interested in boys?" Krista asked, still grinning.

„No!" Mikasa instantly said.

„So you're interested in girls?" Krista teased.

„That's not what I meant!" Mikasa replied.

„Krista.. don't tease her" Armin said calmly.
„Yea, if she is not interested in this… guys… it's fine!" Eren added.

„Guys, I was just kidding." Krista answered before she added „I already know that Mikasa has no interest in HIM." The last word was extra pronounced and she grinned at Eren.

Mikasa just looked at Krista in confusion.

„You wanna imply something?" Eren asked the blonde girl.

Krista took the glasses and poured them with Tequila. She gave everyone a filled glass before she answered shortly with a grin on the face. „No, why?"

„Anyway, let's drink!" the blonde girl said.
