...deathly silence...
"Mi-"

...before the melting corpse...
"Mikasa"

...after a loud scream...
"Mikasa!"

...pitch black...

She opened her eyes into the bedroom, illuminated by the dim light of the moon outside the window.

"Mikasa" it called again. That voice that seemed so distant, echoing on the back of her head. "Are you okay? You seemed to be having a bad dream" it said anxiously.
Indeed, she had been having a nightmare.

She turned to find her roommate, Sasha Braus, on top of her. Even with the little smile that decorated her face, it showed concern.

"I'm ok" the black-blue eyed whispered as sitting down. Her head was spinning and her limbs burned as hell. Even so, she stud up, walked through the room and opened the door. "Go back to sleep" ordered as closing the door, without hearing the brunette calling her name.

She walked the corridor barefoot, no direction in mind. That scary dream occupied her entire mind.

Adjusted the red scarf over her nose and inhaled warm air through it. It had been long since she last felt this scared, or this sad. But it had also been long since Carla's death.

Today, when the Special Operations Squad returned from training, while she practiced with the rest of the Scouting Legion, the atmosphere turned cold.

"Mikasa" Armin mumbled without air "Eren".

The world turned slow motion when her black-blue eyes caught his green ones behind all the bleeding.

After that, the only word she heard about him was from Levi, saying that her friend would make it through.

The dungeon hallway stood in front of her. She walked by the guard-on-duty who slept soundly by the heat of a torch, just before the cell chibi heichou called a room.

Opened the door with the keys hanging to the left and took a step in. Felt the cold floor under her feet as she walked towards the bed, where the titan shiftier slept soundly.

Bandages stained with blood covered his forehead, from the roots of his hair to his eyebrows.

She walked to the other side of the bed and laid down by his side, pressing her chest against his back and closing her eyes.

Main while, Eren slowly opened his eyes, enough to expose their green color. The warmth behind him woke him up. It felt so familiar and nostalgic. He looked over his shoulder and saw beautiful black hair. "Mikasa?"

The girl looked up at his face, searching for his sleepy eyes. That's where he saw them. Her generally expressionless gaze had lost it's light. Her eyes had no longer blue in their black color.

"Mikasa..." he turned around. Once his entire body faced her's, she leaned her head on his chest. thump-thump. She heard his living heart, pumping inside him.

"Hug me?" pleaded in a crooked whisper that he couldn't answer. He felt awkward, they hadn't done this for ages because of the unnecessary attention it got. If they were found out, they would surely drag them into unwanted bullshit. No, he needed to send her back to her own bed.

She pleaded again.

His arms slowly moved towards her, 'till they surrounded the girl and pulled her against him. Buried his face in her hair and took a deep breath, filling his lungs with her sweet sent.
