Chapter 6: Are they training or fighting?
Eren sits down at a table and waits for Mikasa. Armin likes Annie huh? I hope that this won't matter to Mikasa thought Eren as He felt somebody sitting next to him. Without thinking Eren turns around and says "Hey Mikas-". Eren then realized the person who sat next to him wasn't Mikasa. Captain Levi?! Thought Eren as he stood up and saluted. "Jaeger come with me" commanded Levi. Eren answered "Uh.. Sir I'm kind of waiting for someo-". "Did I give you a choice?" commanded Levi as he stood up and pulled Eren by the collar. "No sir" said Eren surprised in what just happened.
As Levi pulled Eren out of the dining hall. Levi pushed Eren near the bench under the cherry blossom tree. "Umm.. Sir what are we doing her-"Eren was interrupted by Levi's command."You see this!" exclaimed Levi as he grabbed Eren by the head and shoved his face on the bench which had a footprint. "Y-Yes S-Sir" replied Eren. "You did this So clean it up we don't keep dirt on this bench!" commanded Levi. "Now grab the cleaning supplies and you will rake the leaves on the ground, you would repaint the bench PERFECTLY, and you will trim the tree so it will look PERFECT… YOU GOT THAT JAEGER!" commanded Levi. "Y-Yes S-Sir" replied Eren as he ran the get the supplies he needed.
Mikasa entered the dining hall and looked around the room for Eren. But something caught her attention there was one table with a tray of food on it. Mikasa went and investigate. Was this Eren's lunch hmmm where could he have gon- Mikasa thoughts were interrupted by someone speaking to her. "If your wondering where your boyfriend is he is near the cherry blossom tree cleaning up the place" explained Ymir. Aww is he doing that for us?but Mikasa's thoughts were interrupted when Christa added "It also looks that Captain Levi is watching him clean".
Of course that little "captain" always hates Eren and his guts thought Mikasa while replying "Thanks for telling me". Mikasa then grabbed Eren's breakfast and went out the door. Once Mikasa reached over there Eren had already finished his chore. And Captain Levi gave him a satisfy nod and walked away. God what a chore I had to do I wonder if Mika- Eren thought was interrupted when he saw Mikasa walking towards him with his Breakfast. "Here" says Mikasa handing his food. "Thanks" replied Eren starting to break his bread in half. Mikasa looked around the area. She saw that Eren painted the bench clear white and He trimmed the tree into a complete circle like or oval like.
"Wow" said Mikasa. "Beautiful huh?" asked Eren. "Yea very" replied Mikasa. "I guess this chore was really worth it" added Eren. Mikasa loved the view of the tree and she couldn't get her eyes off of it. Eren smiled and gave a small laugh "It's beautiful just like you now" said Eren. That made Mikasa blush. "Oh Eren stop making me blush so randomly" teased Mikasa. They both sat on the bench and shared their breakfast.
Training Hour came and this time, things where getting heated up…..
"Alright pick your hand to hand combat partner" commanded Levi. Everybody chose their partners quick leaving Eren, Mikasa, Jean and Annie alone. Everybody was focusing to see who will choose who. There was a awkward silence. "Let's make this interesting show we" said Levi. "Leonhart pair up with Ackerman and Kirstein pair up with Jaeger" commanded Levi while smirking.
Annie begun to do her fighting position while saying "I won't go easy on you Ackerman". Mikasa smirked and replied "Finally I was really looking forward for a real challenge". Jean looked at Eren and said "Focus Jaeger I won't go down easily". Eren looked at Jean and said "Me neither…Me neither". Everybody in the training arena didn't want to take their eyes off the four of them. Levi also wanted to see a real show so he said, "READY SET FIGHT!".
"I'm tired of you trying to keep Eren to yourself" yelled Annie while sending a kick towards Mikasa's face. Mikasa dodged and send a fist flying for Annie's stomach. "I'M NOT THE ONE KEEPING EREN. EREN DECIDED TO KEEP ME". Annie saw the punch coming so she dodged to the left and decided to send a kick to trip Mikasa. "LIAR" yelled Annie. Mikasa jumped over Annie's trip and she charged towards Annie sending another punch but towards her face.
"FOCUS JAEGER" yelled Jean sending a punch to Eren's face. "I AM BUT I HOPE YOU FOCUS TOO!" yelled Eren dodging the punch and sending a push to Jean. Jean trips over and falls. "EREN! MIKASA DESERVES BETTER THAN YOU! SHE DESERVES SOMEONE LIKE ME!"yelled Jean as he kicked Eren backwards. "JEAN DON'T BE STUPID MIKASA WELL DESERVES SOMEONE BETTER THAN YOU SHE'S NOT THAT WORTHLESS!" yelled Eren as he grabs his balance and jumps to tackle Jean to the floor. "EREN! YOU DESERVE TO DIE ALONE!" yells Jean as he sends a punch to Eren's stomach. Eren was so distracted by Jean's voice that he took the punch in his guts. "SAYS THE ONE WHO LOST THE GIRL HE LOVES TO THE GUY HE CALL "LONER" " yells Eren while sending several punches to Jean's face.
Annie trips Mikasa, but before Mikasa tripped, she grabbed Annie's arm and pulled her down with her. "WHY MIKASA WHY DID YOU TAKE EREN AWAY FROM ME?!" yelled Annie as she was falling with Mikasa to the ground. "BECAUSE EREN IS NOT INTO WEAKLINGS LIKE YOU!" yelled Mikasa as she grabs Annie by the collar and throw her head into the floor again. Eren seeing what Mikasa just did decided to do the same thing. Filled with anger Eren grabs jean by the collar and throws his head into the ground with all his force.
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" yelled Captain Levi as he commanded two people to hold Eren and Mikasa back. "TAKE LEONHART AND KIRSTEIN TO THE PUNSHIBLE CHAMBER. AS FOR JAEGER AND ACKERMAN TAKE THEM TO MY OFFICE! NOW!" commanded Levi. Mikasa and Eren were sitting on their knees looking at Captain Levi. "You guys were supposed to train not almost open the skulls of your partner!" yelled Levi. "I have no excuses sir" says Mikasa. "B-BUT sir I do have an excuse it's just tha-" Eren couldn't continue what he was saying because Levi kicked him across the face making Eren fall backwards.
"Eren!" yelled Mikasa as she tried to pick him up. Levi grabbed Mikasa by the collar and pushed her across the room. "No, don't help him Ackerman" commanded Levi. Mikasa nodded. Levi looked at Eren and grabbed him by the collar. "Do you have an excuse" asked Levi. "Y-Ye-" Eren couldn't finish replying because Levi punched him in the face. "JAEGER DO YOU HAVE AN EXCUSE!" yelled Levi. "N-No sir" replied Eren. "Good now the two of you as punishment will have to do everybody's chores tomorrow so you will barely have time to be together. "Y-Yes S-Sir" replied Eren and Mikasa. "Now get out of my office" commanded Levi.
The Next Day….
Eren and Mikasa rarely saw each other in breakfast or any time sooner. This is the worst punishment I can ever get…. Not being able to see Mikasa. Thought Eren as he begun to do his part of the chores. Eren…. Are you doing alright? Are you missing me? Just like I'm missing you? thought Mikasa as she was finishing washing the dishes. Mikasa took the apron off and went directly at her next chore destination. Eren finished repainting the guys' cabin, so he was moving on to paint the girls' cabin.
Dinner came so Eren headed quickly to the dining hall hoping he would see Mikasa. Since he had finished his chores. Would it be that I would finally see Mikasa right now? Thought Eren as he looked around the dining hall sure enough there was Mikasa sitting with Armin. Mikasa looked up to the dining hall's door and she saw Eren. Their eyes both sparkled with joy. As Eren was about to walk to Mikasa….. Captain Levi grabbed Eren Lunch and ordered him to go eat outside and to go finish one last chore.
That little ugh I was so close to be with Eren for today! Thought Mikasa furiously. "Go get him" said Armin. "Huh?" asked Mikasa. "Look Mikasa you guys deserve to see each other, so I will make a distraction while you sneak out and see Eren" explained Armin. "Thanks Armin you're the best!" said Mikasa as she hugged him. Armin's plan was about him pretending to flirt with Christa to make Ymir jealous of course he knew the consequences but he will do anything for his best friends. Sure enough the plan worked Ymir was getting jealous and everybody was staring to see what Ymir will do to Armin.
The plan was working so well that it even caught Levi's attention. Mikasa then took off and found Eren under the cherry blossom tree. Mikasa was so excited to be with Eren that she yelled his name and ran towards him. Mi-Mikasa! thought Eren as he stood up from the bench and opened his arms wide. Mikasa jumped into his arms making him fall back to the bench she then looked at his sparkling kind eyes and smiled. "M-Mikasa… I'm glad you're here!" said Eren as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "Shhh don't talk" said Mikasa as she leaned in for a Kiss.
