It was early morning when the first sunrays entered Mikasa's small flat and she opened her eyes slowly. When she felt Eren's arms around her, holding her close she couldn't help but smile.
He was still asleep, his hair was tousled and some strands of his short hair were hanging over his face.
The Asian girl turned around carefully, so that her face was in front of her new boyfriend's one.
She was so happy in this moment, feeling his warmth and finally knowing that he loved her back.
The black-haired girl strokes back some hair out of his face and leaned in to kiss him when he opened his green eyes.
"Oh, I-…", she started with red cheeks but Eren smiled and filled the last inches between them to kiss her softly. Mikasa smiled within the kiss cupping his head in her hands while kissing him back.
"Good Morning.", he whispered after breaking the kiss, looking at her with half closed eyes.
"Do you slept well?", he asked while she curled up on him, her head under his chin with her hand on his chest. "Yes, better than ever before.", she answered quietly, cuddling closer to him.
Eren yawned while closing his eyes again.
"Good to hear, I slept well, too.", he said, slowly starting to doze.
"Hey, don't fall asleep again!", Mikasa said, propping herself up.
"But whyyy…it's Saturday and I'm tired from yesterday…", he groused and Mikasa raised an eyebrow.
She sighted and kissed his forehead. "Fine, stay in bed. I'll make us breakfast!"
Eren covered himself with the blanket with still closed eyes, smiling.
"(Everythings smelling like her…)", he thought. He felt dizzy and couldn't believe what happened the night before. "(She's mine now…)"
A few minutes later, Mikasa came back with a meal tray.
She stood in front of the bed while holding it.
"Eren! Come on, wake up. I made breakfast.", she said, waiting for him to get up.
Eren yawned and stretched when he sat up.
"That's smells good! Thank you!", he said and she gave the tray to him before she crawled on the bed again, sitting next to him.
"Thank you, I hope you like it.", she said, picking up her cup of tea.
Eren started to eat and grinned. "This is great! Thank you!"
Mikasa giggled: "Thank you, but those are just sandwiches, it's nothing special."
"Yeah but they are made by you, so it's special for me.", Eren said while taking a big bite out of his sandwich. Mikasa blushed and starred into her teacup.
"Did I say something wrong?", Eren asked, looking at his girlfriend.
"Oh! No, it's okay, everything's alright!", she said, still blushing.
"Okay!", he simply said, continuing with his meal.
Mikasa smiled and started eating, too.
"What do you want to do today?", she asked, looking at him.
Eren made a pensive face. "Hm. Good question. What about going to the park? We could get us icecream!", he said, already excited for it.
"(Sometimes you are such a child and sometimes you are so serious and mature…I'm curious what you are like when we-…)", her thoughts were interrupted by Eren.
"Oh! I know, we can go to the zoo. You like zoo's, don't you?", he said, smiling at her.
"Uhm, yes, I like zoos. If you want to go, I will go with you.", she said while drinking her tea.
"Okay, then we go to the zoo!"
"I've never been here before.", Mikasa said, starring with big eyes to the sign over the massive gate which leads into the zoo. "Really? I've been here a few times with my parents."
"Yes, I've been to small ones before but I can hardly remember.", Mikasa said while Eren was paying for the tickets. "I can give you the money back, what was the price?", she said while walking through the gate. "It's okay, I'll invite you today. Let this be our first date, okay?", Eren said, smiling at her with slightly red cheeks while holding his neck with one hand.
Mikasa's eyes widened and her lips formed a bright smile.
"Okay!", she said with a really happy voice and reached for Eren's hand which she took, plaiting their fingers. Eren blushed even harder and wasn't able to look her in the eyes anymore.
"(This was way easier when I was drunk…)", he thought trying to stay cool.
He tightened his hand around her's a bit, making her giggle quietly.
"So, what do you want to see first?", she asked while they were studying a map.
"Hmmm… so as you've been here for the first time, you will decide.", he said, waiting for her to choose. Mikasa starred at the map, thinking about what she would like to see first.
"Then let's start with the big cats, okay?" – "Alright, let's go see the kitty cats!"
So they walked through the zoo, holding hands and laughing together.
After a few hours they stopped at the Zebra's, taking a seat on a bench.
"It's exhausting, isn't it? How is your rib-cage, do you have pain?", the Asian girl asked.
"No, not really. Okay, maybe a bit, but I'm alright, don't worry. I just need to take it easy, that's all."
Mikasa smiled slightly at him, she was worried nevertheless.
"But if it's getting worse, tell me!" – "Mikasa, stop it. I told you I'm okay."
She sighted. "I don't want you ribs to break, this would be dangerous."
Eren sighted. "I know, I'll be careful. Don't worry so much!"
He got up, smiling at her. "I'll get us some ice-cream. Do you want something to drink, too?"
"I can go getting u-…" – "Mikasa. I told you I'm alright, so do you want something to drink?"
Mikasa gave up, pouting. "Yes, please."
"See, wasn't that difficult, wasn't it?", he said with a successful grin on his face.
He walked over to a snack shop, buying ice-cream and water for both of them.
As he returned, he saw someone talking to his girlfriend.
When he saw that he knew this person he got angry.
"Oi! Jean!", he shouted, walking faster than before.
"Hey Eren.", Jean said, smiling evil. "I just asked her why she was sitting here alone, didn't knew you were here, too." Just as Eren wanted to shout something at Jean, Mikasa stepped in.
"As you see, I'm not alone. I'm here with my boyfriend, having a date.", she said while walking over to Eren who gave her the ice-cream he bought.
"Thank you, honey. I love you!", she said, leaning over to kiss him on his lips.
Eren was perplex at the first second but he started giving Jean a victorious gaze while Mikasa was kissing him deeply. Eren got further and lay his free hand on Mikasa's hips, two fingers touching her butt. Jean's mouth stood wide open and his face was pure incredulity.
"You can't be serious….!", he said, still starring like he saw a ghost.
Mikasa turned around, her hand still on Eren's chest.
"Huh? What do you mean?", she said, obviously faking to be confused.
"F-…forget it!", Jean hissed and walked away, mumbling curses.
"Did you saw his face?", Eren laughed while both sat down again on the bench.
"Yes of course, I'm not blind!", she said laughing.
"He tries to get in my pants since the first time we met, I had to make it clear that I belong to you and no one else.", she said before starting to eat the ice-cream Eren bought for her.
He blushed as he heard those words. "(She belongs to me…just me, she's mine…)"
"Is everything okay? Your face is red!", she said with a worried voice.
"Huh?! Ah! No! I'm okay, it's…it's just hot!", he stammered, almost dropping his own ice-cream.
"Oh okay, then I'm calmed!", she said, continuing with eating her ice-cream.
After another round in the zoo, they decided to leave.
"Are you hungry?", the green-eyes boy said, holding Mikasa's hand while they walked through the gate. "Hm, yes I guess so.", she said, thinking about what she would like to eat.
"What do you think about a Italian restaurant?", Eren asked, hoping for her to say yes.
"Do you want to eat Italian?", she asked back.
"Yes, I would love to have pizza today!", he said, smiling bright.
"Okay, then let's have pizza.", Mikasa answered and they walked off to a restaurant Eren knew.
Just when they took a seat, Eren's phone rang.
"Oh, hey Mom.", he said while reading the menu.
"Where are you? We didn't see or hear you since yesterday's party and it's already after 7pm now! We are worried!", Carla said with a mix of anger and worry.
"Oh I'm sorry!", Eren started, trying to figure out what he should say now.
"I-…I slept at Mikasa's flat, I'm sorry that I did not informed you or Dad. It won't happen again!"
"I hope so! And what have you two up to the whole day?", she asked on the phone with a curious sounding voice. "I'll tell you later…! Bye Mom!", Eren said, ending the call.
"Pweh."
"Why didn't you tell her?", Mikasa asked, holding her face in her hands.
"Ah…uhm…you know…", Eren stuttered, scratching his neck nervously.
"Are you embarrassed to be with me?", she asked with a cold expression.
"(Oh shit.) N-…no! Of course not! I just want to tell her directly. If you want we can go to my place after dinner and we tell them together." Eren hoped for it to work, even if he was still scared about his parent's reaction on those news.
Mikasa kept her cold expression for a few seconds, well knowing that it made him nervous before changing to a light smile. "Perfect, I'm looking forward to tell your parents about us!"
After dinner they went back to Eren's house.
He swallowed hard before entering and the first thing he saw was his mother with a knowing grin on her face. "Oh, you brought Mikasa. Nice to see you!", she said, still grinning.
Eren blushed, he was nervous as fuck and he had a hard time trying to look calm.
"Nice to see you too, Carla.", Mikasa said, smiling bright.
"There is something left from dinner, are you hungry?", Carla asked.
"No we just had dinner, Eren invited me.", Mikasa said, still smiling bright.
Eren got nervous and his ears turned red. "Oh, that is nice of you, Eren.", his mother said, giving him a piercing gaze. He seemed to be the only one being nervous in the room.
"So, Eren.", his father said who was sitting in the living room, reading a newspaper.
"Your mother said you wanted to tell us something?"
Eren was paralyzed, stuttering some unrecognizable words.
"Eren, come on. You said you wanted to tell them directly.", Mikasa urged him, poking his side.
He swallowed hard, his hands were shaking and he felt heat inside him.
"…y-...yes! I have some news, I mean, uhm…uhm…you know…", he struggled finding words.
Mikasa punched him in his back, not seeable for his parents.
"..hngg! Okay, okay. WE have some news. So…yesterday we were at this party as you know and…yeah, to make it short… Mikasa and I are a couple now."
Eren closed his eyes tight, just waiting for his parents reaction to his first girlfriend ever.
"Good to hear, Eren. Congratulations.", his father said, smiling lightly and continuing to read his newspaper.
Eren opened one eye slowly to take a look at his mother.
Carla was laughing in joy, running over to the two young people, hugging them tight.
"I'm so happy for you two! I always knew that you two were made for each other!", she let go of them, wiping away a single tear in her left eye.
"Are you crying, Mom?", Eren said with a doubting sound.
"No, I'm just so happy!", she said, walking off to the fridge.
"We have to celebrate this!", she said, picking out a bottle of sparkling wine.
"MOM, are you serious?!", Eren shouted with a face red as a tomato.
Mikasa was laughing out loud, holding one hand in front of her mouth.
"Your mother is so adorable!", she said, still laughing.
"Eren, you better get used to it. That's the way of living with a woman.", Griesha said with malicious joy in his voice. Eren sighted loudly and started walking to his father, but Mikasa held him back.
"Hey! We have to clink our glasses, don't run away!", she said, giving him a forcing gaze.
"Sorry…", he mumbled and took a glass his mother handed him.
Carla cleared her voice and raised her glass:
"Let's clink our glasses on your fresh love! I'm expecting Mikasa to become my daughter-in-law, you hear me Eren? Don't mess this up!"
Mikasa giggled with a bright smile, raising her glass, too.
"Mom…!", Eren said, still as red as a tomato.
They clinked their glasses and drank out of it. Mikasa looked at Eren, smiling devilish.
"You heard what your mother said, remember that, okay?"
Eren blushed even more, if this was even possible. "Huh?! Mikasa, wtf…!"
She laughed and sat down with Eren's mother at the dining table.
She gave him a loving gaze, forming 'I love you' with her lips what made him smile lightly.
"I'm sitting with Dad.", Eren said and walked over to him.
He sat down, sighting out loud.
Griesha laughed. "You know what your mother is like.", he started, smiling at his son.
"She wants the best for you and she has a really good sense when it comes to estimate the character of people. And I can agree, with Mikasa you have a strong and independent woman on your side. You're a lucky man, Son. Keep her, you hear me?"
Eren smiled embarrassed and nodded. "I will, don't worry."
He looked over to Mikasa and his mother who were talking with each other with smiling faces and couldn't help but smiled, too. "(She's so beautiful…)"
"Mikasa, I'm really really happy for you. You remember what I said?", Carla said, taking a sip of her sparkling wine. "Yes of course, thank you again for telling me about that. Otherwise I wouldn't have had the courage to tell him.", Mikasa answered, lightly smiling.
"Wait, you told him?", Carla asked with big eyes. "Oh I'm so sorry, my son is such a scaredy-cat when it comes to feelings." Mikasa laughed. "No, it's okay. I wanted to tell him long before but I was scared to get rejected. So thanks again for encouraging me! He's so kind and caring, I'm really happy."
Carla smiled and took Mikasa's hand. "That's really nice to hear. As I said, I wish you the best."
"Thank you so much!"
Eren got up, walking over to the two women.
"Oi, Mikasa. Do you want me to bring you home or do you want to stay tonight? I mean, it's Sunday tomorrow so you don't need anything from home, right?", he asked, smiling at her.
She thought about it for a few seconds. "Uhm, no I think I don't need anything. Accept from something to wear to sleep and a toothbrush." Eren smiled brighter than before when she said that she want to stay overnight. "Alright, I will give you something to wear and I guess I got a new toothbrush somewhere, I will search for it!", he said and walked upstairs to get her the things she needed. "I'll go, looking after him. Thank you for the sparkling wine and your kind words. Thank you too, Griesha! I wish you a good night.", Mikasa said and walked after Eren.
Carla looked after her and when she disappeared she looked at Griesha, wiggling her eyebrows.
"I told you they would make it before 20! So, where is my money, Griesha?", Carla said and laughed evil. Her husband grumbled and pulled out his purse to pick out a 50$ note.
"Here you go, you won.", he said, slightly pouting.
"Awww, are you grumpy now?", she laughed, leaning in and kissed him, still laughing.
"You are evil!"
"Are you ready?", Eren asked and Mikasa nodded. He turned the lights off and crawled into his bed next to his girlfriend.
She cuddled up to him with him wrapping his arms around her.
"Thank you.", he said, making Mikasa look up. "Huh? For what? I have to thank you for this wonderful day!" Eren kissed her forehead gently.
"Thank you for telling me how you feel about me. I never had the courage to tell you, so thank you for telling me.", he said, stroking her cheek with his thumb.
"Don't thank me, I should have done it much earlier."
Eren laughed: "Maybe, but I'm happy that you did, better late than never. I love you, Mikasa."
"You're right. I love you, too, stupid."
"I'm not stupid!"
"Yes you are! And you are mine, so stay as you are okay? I love you with all your peculiarities."
Eren sighted. "Fine, maybe I'm a bit stupid. But if I know one thing than it will be that I'll be with you, no matter what!", he said while tightening his arms around her, pulling her closer.
"I didn't knew that you are able to be such a cutie!", she said grinning.
"Hey! Don't make fun of me!", he said with a angry tone what made her laugh.
"See, you're a cutie!", she repeated, still laughing.
Eren let go of her, pouting and rolling over so that his back was in front of the Asian girl.
"Ooooh no, please come back!"
"No way."
"Please!"
"I said no!"
"Eren!"
"What?"
"Turn around!"
"No!"
"Eren, please!"
She leaned over, caressing his neck with her lips, making his whole body shiver.
She grinned within her kiss on his neck, feeling his whole body tighten.
When she let her fingertips run over Eren's side he couldn't resist anymore and turned around, cupping her cheeks with his hands, kissing her deeply.
"You are evil."
"I know! But you love me, nevertheless!"
"Seems so."
"Hey!"
"Sorry, I love you!"
"Better for you!"
Both laughed out loud before cuddling up to each other again and falling asleep.
