Chapter 6

Wednesday

After school, Eren, Armin and Mikasa were in the bus.

„Oi Armin, you wanna come to me? It's been a while we played some Street Fighter" Eren asked the blonde who sat next to him.

„Uh, I finished homework already in school, so yeah, why not." the blonde answered.

„Nice!" the boy replied.

Mikasa followed the conversation, she sat behind them. Armin looked behind for a second before he looked at Eren, sighed and hit him him with the elbow in his ribs. Eren twitched, stared at Armin and was about to say something, the blonde then slightly nodded in Mikasas direction. It took Eren a second before he understood and turned around to the girl.

„You wanna come with us?" he asked the girl.

The girl looked at him in surprise „Eh.. yea, sure".

The bus reached their stop, they left and went to Erens home.

„Mum! I'm home, Armin and Mikasa are here too! We are upstairs!" Eren shouted as he came in.

„Oh, alright, I will bring you some snacks in 5 minutes!" Carla answered from the kitchen.

In Erens room the two boys sat down on the ground and started Street Fighter, Mikasa sat on the bed and watched them. Eren picked Ryu, Armin picked Ken.

2 Minutes later.

„Ha! I told you Armin! You don't stand a chance! I'm the best" Eren said in a boasting tone.

Armin just sighed „You play all day Eren, of course you're better".

The blonde turned to Mikasa and gave her the controller „You're turn!"

„Pah! As if I would lose against a girl!" the young boy said.

Mikasa took the controller and just grinned, she picked Ibuki.

2 Minutes later.

Eren was silent, still looking at the TV. Armin hid his fat grin behind his hands.

Mikasa mimicked Eren „As if I would lose against a girl".

The boy stared at her angrily „Oh come on, just shut up".

In this moment Carla came in with a tray „Eren Yaeger! That's not the way you talk to a girl!".

„Yea Eren! That's not the way you talk to a girl" Armin repeated and tried not to laugh.

Eren rolled his eyes while his mother put down the tray with apple slices.

„Thank you Ms. Yaeger" Armin and Mikasa said at the same time.

„Just call me Carla, please, both of you" Erens mum replied with a smile before she left the room.
„I want a return match, you were just lucky!" Eren said, still looking angry.

„Okay, but don't be angry anymore" Mikasa answered still grinning.

2 minutes later Eren threw the controller in the corner of his room.

Armin suppressed his urge to laugh and Mikasa grinned at the angry boy.

„Come on! How?! I never lost before!" the angry boy almost yelled.

„Well, I guess I am just lucky" the girl replied.

„Don't mess with me Mikasa!"

„Eren, it's just a game" Armin threw in.

Eren sighed „Yea, you're right, but still, I don't understand!"

„Okay, I tell you, you never block, you always attack, that's it" the girl finally answered.

„Hrm, whatever" the boy replied before he ate a apple slice.

Bing!

The three looked at their phones, everyone had the same message.

-Hey, you have time at weekend? I asked my parents if we could go to our house at the lake near the forest outside of the town before the school stress starts. Sasha-

Mikasa looked up „They have a second house at a lake?" she asked surprised.

Armin nodded „Yeah, it's pretty huge, she showed me photo once. I guess I'm in".

Eren nodded „Me too"

„Yea, as long as my parents don't have a problem with it" Mikasa answered. „I'm sure they will allow it if they know there are not just guys" she added.

„I will ask Sasha who already agreed" the blonde replied while texting Sasha.

A moment later he had an answer.

-Jean, Reiner, Berthold, Connie, Annie and Krista agreed, Ymir didn't answer yet but she is in fore sure-

„Well, almost everyone agreed, just Ymir didn't answer yet" Armin said.

„Is there enough room for eleven people?" Mikasa asked.

Armin nodded „They have 5 bedrooms, at least that's what Sasha told me. I guess one has to sleep on a couch but this should be no problem".

Mikasa pushed herself up „Well I'll go home and ask my parents, see you tomorrow"

„Okay, see you tomorrow Mikasa, and tell us what your parents said" Armin said with a smile.

„Yea, see you tomorrow Mikasa" Eren said.

„I will, bye" she answered before she left the room.

Mikasa went downstairs and saw Carla „Goodbye Ms. Yae- eh.. Carla" she said.

„You already head home? Please don't tell me it's because of Eren" she replied.

„No, that's not it, I have to ask my parents about the weekend, we want to go to the lake" Mikasa answered.

„I guess you talk about the house at the lake from family blouse? If they don't allow it, I can talk to them" Carla blinked.

Mikasa nodded with a smile on her face „Thank you"

Meanwhile in Eren's room the two boys played Street Fighter again.

„Eren, can I ask you something?"

„Yea, of course" the boy replied while concentrating on the game.

„Did you ever had a crush on someone?"

„Huh? Not really I guess, why you ask anyway? Cause of Annie?" he grinned.

Armin was caught by surprise and blushed a bit „No! That's not the reason I ask, anyway, so you are not interested or attracted to someone?"

„Well, I'm not blind Armin, Krista is cute, Sasha looks quite good, Annie as well. But I'm not interested, they are just friends."

„Mhm, what about Mikasa?" Armin asked and suppressed the urge to grin.

Eren was about to answer but then Carla came in.

„Hey you two, I didn't want to interrupt you but I heard you go to lake this weekend?" Carla asked.

Eren paused and turned to his mother „Yea, it's okay if I go, right?"

Carla nodded and looked to Armin „You go as well? Right?"

„Yes, my parents aren't home anyway and my grandpa will allow it for sure." the blonde answered.

Carla nodded again „So, Mrs. Ackermann called me a minute ago, she asked some questions about it. She wasn't sure if she should allow Mikasa to go."

„And?" Eren asked.

„Well, I told her she doesn't have to worry, she agreed, on one condition."

„Okay?"

Carla grinned „She wants that you share the room with Mikasa"

Eren looked in disbelief „Huh?! Why?"

„Because she knows you and she knows you are trustworthy." Carla simply replied before she added „Well, that's all, I am back downstairs, you're father will come home soon, I prepare dinner, Armin you're welcome to stay for dinner".

The blonde boy nodded, still grinning because of the conversation seconds ago before Carla left the room.
Three hours later

Eren lay in bed as he got a message on his phone.

-I assume your mum already told you? I'm sorry about that, I know it's awkward. Mikasa-

Eren replied.

-Yeah my mum told me, you don't have to be sorry-

-Thank you Eren-
