Author's Note: Okay so this became very popular on Tumblr and here, way more than I expected! So here's part 2! Note, I'll be continug the other Eremika fic soon as well. This chapter also will reflect the judging and misunderstanding of fans who rip on Eremika shippers. Thanks so much for the reviews so far!
Mikasa woke up early in the morning. She was in her own bedroom in the Jaeger house.
She sat up, and glanced softly at her nightstand. On it were a photo of her parents and herself when she was little.
Beside it was her picture of herself and Eren.
She sighed softly, but she smiled and got up. She was starting to grow into a beautiful young woman. She was already 15 years old, and had lived with Eren and his parents for 6 years now.
But Eren and Mikasa never really felt like siblings, so the Jaegers never legally adopted Mikasa.
In fact, they still had feelings for each other. Not just feelings, but now they were going out.
They had just started dating a few weeks ago. Mikasa brushed her now short hair. She had decided to cut it.
Although it was still feminine and even looked very cute. She got into her dark blue school uniform, grabbed her bag and wrapped her red scarf around her neck.
She hurried downstairs. "Good morning", she smiled. "Good morning Mikasa", smiled Carla.
"Is Eren up yet?", Mikasa asked. "Of course not", replied Grisha.
"Would you mind going up and waking him?", asked Carla. "Not at all", Mikasa replied.
With six years gone, Mikasa became more independent and less clingly of Eren. Of course she still grieved for her parents, but she had become very strong, both physically and mentally.
She went upstairs, and she approached his bedroom door. She blushed a little bit, as she turned the knob.
She entered the bedroom, and saw Eren sleep soundly. Mikasa blushed more, he looked so peaceful.
"Eren...", she said softly.
She approached his bedside. As she did, she only blushed more and her heart begin to race.
'What...what is this? I've been feeling...so strange lately around Eren', Mikasa thought to herself.
"Eren, wake up", she said. Eren stirred, his eyes opening.
"Mikasa...?", he turned red.
"Mikasa!", he jumped up, blushing. "What's wrong? I always come in your room to wake you", Mikasa said.
"I know, it just feels..different now", Eren admitted, blushing.
"Yeah...it kinda does. We're not kids anymore", Mikasa blushed.
"But still...we don't really have to get up this early for school...we still got time", Eren said.
"Exactly", Mikasa grinned softly then.
Eren blinked, and before he could react, she kissed him. Eren blushed, but he closed his eyes, returning the kiss.
He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close.
Their kiss deepened, Mikasa couldn't explain it, she suddenly felt such a need, a hunger for him.
She moaned softly, as they kissed more. Eren suddenly blushed more, when he felt her breasts press against his chest.
The two then broke the kiss, both panting heavily.
"Did I tell you how beautiful you are...?", Eren asked softly, as he gently pressed his forehead against hers, gazing into her deep bluish black eyes.
"Eren...", Mikasa said softly, blushing.
"Mikasa! Eren! You're both going to be late!", Carla called then from downstairs.
"Oh crap!", Eren jumped out of bed as he quickly got dressed, grabbing his bag.
"Let's hurry!", Mikasa took his hand, as the two ran outside.
"Damn it! Why does high school have to start so early?!", Eren complained as they ran.
"If you wouldn't stay up all night playing video games", Mikasa pointed out.
"Hey, give me a break!", Eren scoffed.
They then saw Armin up ahead. "Hey! Let's hurry!", Armin waved. The three ran to the school, and finally made it.
"We made it...!", Eren panted as they stood by the lockers. "We're early", Mikasa commented.
"How are you not out of breath Mika?", Eren panted. "I take physical ed, remember?", Mikasa replied.
"Oh yeah, you're really good at it", Armin said.
Mikasa had become the star student of physical education. She was only 15 years old but she weighed 150 pounds, of pure muscle.
She was as heavy as led. It took three girls or two guys to carry her.
She also had abs even. She never really explained why she trained so hard in physical ed. She was never like that as a child.
But whenever Eren asked she never really gave a clear answer.
Sometimes Eren worried he wouldn't be able to lift her if she got hurt or something. He worked out from basketball and physical ed too, but he wasn't as heavy as Mikasa.
He was only 139 pounds.
"Early or not, let's get to class", Mikasa said. As the three walked to class, Eren and Mikasa walked arm in arm, Armin walking beside them, some students suddenly whispered.
"Is that them?", a brunette girl whispered.
"Yeah! I heard they live together, but they're dating! Isn't that creepy?", a dark haired boy whispered.
"I also heard they're related! Isn't that like incest?", a blonde girl added.
Eren glared at them, taking Mikasa's hand.
"Ignore them Eren", Mikasa hissed.
"How can I? They're standing around telling lies", Eren growled.
"We're not related! Hell, we were never siblings, by blood or adoption", he added annoyed.
"You know that, I know that, and Armin knows that. That's all that matters", Mikasa assured.
"Mikasa?! Doesn't it bother you?", Eren asked worriedly. Mikasa hesitated, looking away.
"It does, but there's no point in starting a fight. They're not worth it", she replied with her usual nonchalant tone.
They arrived to the classroom. In it were Jean, Connie, Marco, Sasha, Krista, Ymir, Annie and about 10 other students.
Luckily the only student in this class who was part of bullying Eren and Mikasa was Annie.
She was always very cold and cynical and was the queen of starting false rumors. But that wasn't the whole reason why she targeted Eren and Mikasa.
Annie showed obvious jealousy. She had a crush on Eren, and so she despised Mikasa.
Jean glared at Eren, as he sat down beside Mikasa and Armin. Jean always had a huge crush on Mikasa, so he was jealous that Eren got to her first.
But unlike Annie, his jealousy didn't result to anything extreme like bullying.
Sasha munched on a rice ball quietly. Sasha was known for being a kind and friendly girl, with amazing instincts but with one flaw. She was obsessed with food.
"All right class settle down...Sasha", the lady teacher glared then. "Yes ma'am?", asked Sasha.
"Outside", the teacher pointed, sighing. Sasha whined, but she went outside.
She stood outside the classroom, having to hold two full buckets of water as her usual punishment for eating in class.
"When will she learn?", asked Connie, he was part of the basketball team and secretly had a crush on Sasha.
"How can a rice ball be worth so many detentions?", frowned Mikasa.
Sasha whimpered, depressed outside the class, as a girl suddenly walked by her. She had long dark red hair up in a ponytail, with bangs.
She also had brown eyes and was about Mikasa's height.
"Are you all right?", she asked Sasha concerned. Sasha blinked, looking at her. She had a strong English accent, with a hint of Scottish.
"Don't worry about me, I'm used to it", Sasha assured, smiling.
"Now class, today we have a new student joining us. She transferred here from Scotland", the teacher announced then.
"A transfer this time of year?", blinked Armin.
"She and her family just moved in, so please be nice to her. You can come in now", the teacher said.
The class watched as the same red haired girl entered.
"Please introduce yourself", the teacher smiled. "Hello, my name is Rubi Zacri, its nice to meet you all", the girl introduced.
Armin blushed, looking at her., his heart suddenly raced. 'Whoa...she's pretty', he thought.
"Welcome to our school Rubi. Please take your seat by Mikasa", the teacher said. Rubi nodded, as she walked over.
Rubi sat down beside Mikasa. "Now class, today we will start with some history", the teacher said.
Rubi glanced over at Mikasa, she blinked noticing her wearing a scarf. It was a very hot day. "Um...excuse me..", she started.
Mikasa looked at her. "What?", she asked. Rubi blinked, and even looked a bit shocked. Mikasa's eyes...there was something so dark and grim about them, it actually took Rubi's breath away.
It was obvious to Rubi that Mikasa suffered somehow in her past.
"Are you sickly...?", Rubi whispered.
Mikasa blinked, looking at her. "No...why?", she asked.
"You're wearing a scarf on a really hot day", explained Rubi.
"Oh...", Mikasa pulled it over her mouth a little. "It's just really important to me...that's all", she replied.
Rubi looked at her. How important could it be...that she wears it on such a hot day?
Eren got his phone out, and texted Mikasa then, while the teacher was writing on the chalkboard.
Mikasa blinked, as she read it.
"You look hot"
Mikasa turned bright red. She texted back
"Eren! Not right now! We're in class!".
She blushed, as she watched him text back. "Eren...", she mused softly, blushing.
He then finished texting back. Mikasa blinked, reading it. She then frowned. It said:
"No I mean take your scarf off, its too hot out".
Mikasa stopped blushing and she frowned.
"Eren I'm fine", she hissed.
"Mikasa, I'm serious. You're going to get heatstroke", Eren whispered back.
Mikasa frowned stubbornly, looking away.
During the second class, being math, Eren got his cell phone out. His wallpaper was a picture of Mikasa.
He texted Armin.
"Hey...Mikasa's been strange lately. She seems more...Idk, clingly. Any ideas?"
Eren waited a few seconds, when he phone vibrated. He read the text.
"I'm no expert Eren, but how long have you guys been dating now?"
Eren blushed..it had been a while now.
"A few weeks...although we've felt this way for years. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind her being clingly, but I feel like she's trying to tell me smthing"
Eren waited about a minute or two before Armin texted back.
"Maybe she's ready"
"Well that's fucking vague Armin...", Eren growled, he punched in a reply.
"Ready for what?"
He waited, and Armin texted back a frown emoji.
"You can't be that dense Eren..."
Eren growled, he then blinked seeing Armin send text after text.
"Come on! It's obvious"
"I can't believe you haven't figured it out yet!"
"You're 15 after all!"
"Didn't we all take sex ed last month?"
"JUST CUT TO THE POINT ARMIN!", Eren yelled then across the classroom, standing up.
All the students starred. "Eren?", asked Mikasa, while Rubi also looked surprised.
Armin facepalmed, he couldn't believe it still didn't click.
"Eren Jaeger, and Armin Arlet. Please bring your cell phones up here now", the teacher scolded.
"What...?!", Eren groaned. "Now. You can both get them back at the end of the day", the teacher repeated sharply.
Eren and Armin set their cell phones in the teacher's hand, and went back to their desk. Eren sighed, annoyed.
"It's your own fault Eren. You shouldn't be on your phone so much during class", Mikasa scolded then.
"Well if you weren't acting so weird lately!", Eren growled.
Mikasa looked at him. "Weird...?", she asked.
"Well...you've been starring off into space a lot lately, and what's up with locking your bedroom door randomly?", Eren asked.
Mikasa suddenly blushed, and looked away.
"N-No reason...", Mikasa stammered, very red. She was suddenly unable to look at Eren. The teacher then sighed.
"Okay, that is it! You three, outside with Sasha!", the teacher ordered.
Rubi blinked. "Welcome to our class Rubi Zacri, expect entertainment every day", joked Jean.
Eren, Mikasa, Armin and Sasha stood outside, having to hold pales of water.
Sasha was practically crying at this point, Eren sulking, Armin whining, and Mikasa effortlessly held three.
One in each hand, and one balanced on her head.
"How can you be so freakishly strong Mikasa?!", whined Sasha miserably.
"I train", replied Mikasa simply. "You're an inspiration", admitted Sasha.
"Mikasa, what is up with you lately? How come you lock your bedroom door at night?", Eren asked again.
Mikasa blushed again, looking away.
"Eren! Hasn't your mother taught you any manners?! You don't ask a girl something like that!", yelled Sasha.
"Well what on earth do you girls do? Conduct secret experiments?", asked Eren.
"No...well we...", Sasha blushed then. Mikasa suddenly looked at Sasha, she wouldn't say it would she?
"We...well...okay! We sneak snacks into our bedrooms and eat them! There!", Sasha confessed them.
Mikasa frowned, suddenly looking very unamused. 'I should have figured Sasha would rather binge on food than masturbate to her crush', she thought.
'Knowing Sasha, she gets off ON her food', Armin thought as well, having the same look as Mikasa.
"Oh, so that's what you do", Eren said. "Seriously?! You can't be that dense Eren!", Armin said.
By break, the three went outside with Sasha. Eren had basketball practice, while Armin did some reading.
Mikasa had physical ed class during break. Sasha of course was eating a second lunch on the roof.
Mikasa got dressed in the girls locker, getting her P.E uniform on. Rubi was in the locker room as well, she then saw Mikasa's muscle.
"Whoa...Mikasa", she said. Mikasa suddenly looked embarrassed, she quickly put her top on.
"Sorry, just...you train really hard", Rubi said. Mikasa closed her locker.
"I'm really self conscious about it...", she admitted. It was true. Mikasa was very embarrassed.
She thought her body looked too manly, even though Eren assures her all the time it doesn't.
"If you don't like it, then why train?", asked Rubi curiously.
Mikasa didn't answer. She wrapped her red scarf around her then. Rubi blinked.
"Mikasa, it's 90 degrees, you're wearing that?", she asked worriedly. Mikasa chose not to answer, as she went outside.
She decided to run long laps outside.
Rubi walked over, noticing Mikasa. She blinked, worried. Mikasa looked exhausted, she was sweating and pale.
She ran about 10 laps before finally stopping.
When Mikasa finished, she panted, as she sat down. She was dripping in sweat, and her face looked beat red.
"Mikasa", said Rubi coming over. "Yeah?", Mikasa said breathlessly.
"Mikasa...you're going to give yourself heatstroke! Why won't you just take that scarf off?", Rubi demanded then.
"I already told you, its really important to me", Mikasa replied, still out of breath from the heat.
"How important can it possibly be if it risks your health?", Rubi asked worriedly.
"You don't have to worry about it, Mikasa assured. She was actually starting to feel dizzy from how hot it was.
Rubi looked at her, worried.
"I just know what I see. I'm really good at medical science...and you don't look well at all", replied Rubi.
Mikasa looked away. "I appreciate the concern...but I'm fine", Mikasa went to get up to walk away.
She then felt very light headed, and suddenly everything went black.
When she began to come to, she saw she was in the infirmary. Mikasa groaned a little, her head hurting.
A migraine, most likely from the severe heat. Mikasa looked around, and saw Rubi sitting at her bedside.
"What happened?", Mikasa asked weakly. "You collapsed. Heatstroke. Here, drink this", Rubi handed her a paper cup of cold water.
Mikasa took the cup, and she drank it quite fast. She felt very dehydrated.
"Easy, slow down", Rubi said softly. Mikasa looked at her as she finished drinking.
"You brought me here...?", she asked. "Yeah...you were out cold", replied Rubi. Mikasa looked at Rubi.
"How? You don't look...", she started. "Oh, well Ymir and Sasha had to help me carry you", Rubi explained. She wasn't near as physically strong as Mikasa.
Mikasa looked at her. "That was nice of you...to bring me here", she said, thankful.
She then blinked, and suddenly panicked. "Where's my scarf?", she cried.
"Calm down, its right here", Rubi handed it to her then. Mikasa grabbed it quickly, and held it close.
"I know its not my business but...you can't be wearing that thing during hot days like this Mikasa...its bad for your health", Rubi said worriedly.
Mikasa looked down softly. "You're right...I know you are. It's just...", Mikasa hesitated then.
Rubi looked at her worried, seeing the sudden grim look on Mikasa's face. The same look she wore when Rubi first saw her.
"My parents...were killed. When I was 9 years old. Eren gave me this scarf that night, to comfort me...", Mikasa explained.
"Wait...then...you two aren't brother and sister?", Rubi asked then. She heard some students say they were, but she wasn't too sure. They didn't look related at all.
"No. We're not blood related, or even adopted. We live together, but that's all. Because Eren and I date...Annie and other students started making up lies that we're brother and sister...", Mikasa explained.
"That's awful...why would they make up stuff like that?", Rubi asked.
"The world is a cruel place...", Mikasa replied, grimly.
"When they say Eren and I are blood related...its insulting to my parents memory. Like they never even existed...", Mikasa said shakily.
"Of course it's insulting...", Rubi said softly, understanding.
"Rubi...", Mikasa looked at her then. "Thank you. For taking care of me, and listening...I've never really opened up to anyone else here except for Eren and Armin", she said.
"It's fine...I have to admit I'm nervous being in a new school, a new country. But...if its all right with you, we could be friends?", Rubi asked.
Mikasa smiled softly. "Yeah", she said.
When Mikasa felt better, the girls left the infirmary, and went to the school gym where Eren was playing basketball with Jean, Connie, Ymir and Marco.
Ymir managed to toss the ball into the basket.
"YES! See that Krista?!", Ymir cried happily. Krista blushed a little, watching.
"What's with those two?", asked Rubi.
"They're a lesbian couple...word of advice, don't even go near Krista. Ymir will kill you. She gave Eren a few black eyes over the months just for bumping into Krista", Mikasa explained.
"Yikes...what about the other guys?", Rubi asked curiously.
"That one is Jean. He has a huge crush on me, so he loathes Eren", Mikasa replied. "Whoa...tension then", Rubi said.
"Only on the basketball court. Whenever I'm watching the two will randomly start challenging each other at the game, and forget the other players are there", replied Mikasa.
And right on cue, Jean suddenly ran passed and snatched the ball from Eren. "HEY!", Eren chased him.
"Too slow Jaeger!", Jean growled, as he ran for the basket.
"What happens if Jean wins?", asked Rubi. "I go with Eren of course", replied Mikasa.
Just then Eren grabbed the ball, and threw it. It went right in the basket. "YES! See that Mikasa?!", Eren asked, grinning.
Mikasa smiled at him softly while Jean looked depressed.
"Looks like Jean is forever friend zoned", chuckled Rubi.
"It can't be helped...it's always been Eren", Mikasa said softly. Rubi blinked.
"You two are serious, aren't you?", she asked.
"Of course we are...we're not just dating. Eren's been with me for so long now...we're soul mates", Mikasa blushed a little as she said this.
"So...who are the other guys?", Rubi asked.
"That one is Connie. He has a crush on Sasha, but as you saw she's too interested in food to consider dating anyone. And the other guy is Marco. He's a nice guy", replied Mikasa.
Practice finally ended, as Eren came over. "Mikasa! Hey", he grinned, he came over and the two kissed deeply.
Mikasa wrapped her arms around his neck, as their kissed deepened even more.
"Sorry I'm late Eren", Mikasa blushed as they gently broke the kiss.
"It's fine baby...how was physical ed?", Eren asked.
"Well...I actually overdid it a little bit...", Mikasa then explained everything.
"Mika...", Eren sighed worriedly. He then suddenly took her scarf. "Eren!", Mikasa cried, reaching for it as he held it up high.
"Anyway, thank you Rubi", Eren said, while Mikasa continued trying to reach for her scarf.
"It's no problem at all, I couldn't just leave her laying there", Rubi assured.
"I mean it...if something ever happened to Mikasa..I couldn't bear it", Eren admitted seriously.
"Eren..! I said give it back!", Mikasa suddenly by accident, dislocated Eren's shoulder by pulling it. "OW! MIKASA!", Eren yelled in pain, as Mikasa got the scarf back.
"Eren! I'm sorry!", cried Mikasa, it was a complete accident. She sometimes still didn't know her own strength.
"Fuck..fuck...it's okay...ow!", Eren gripped his shoulder.
"We better take you to the infirmary!", Rubi said worriedly.
"Hold on, Eren hold still", Mikasa said then. "What? Oh god, don't!", Eren whined then.
Mikasa suddenly snapped his shoulder back into place.
The sound made several students cringe.
"Mikasa! WHY did you do that?!", Eren groaned in pain. "It's best to get it relocated as fast as possible", replied Mikasa simply.
