Mikasa and Eren sat in silence, his head in her lap. After Annie was dragged back down to the basement, they retired to Mikasa's room. Levi allowed it for the time being, considering that he had things to take care of before Eren was needed.
Mikasa stroked Eren's hair. "Are you okay now?" she asked.
She craned her neck to look at his face when he didn't answer; he was sleeping. Mikasa smiled and ran her fingers through his hair, enjoying his presence.
The moment didn't last long when Krista burst into the room, Ymir, Sasha, Connie, Jean, Bertholdt, and Reiner close behind. They all began shouting about how no one told them about what happened and that they had to find out themselves.
Mikasa chucked a book that had been sitting on her nightstand at them, and they all ducked. She held her finger up to what would have been her mouth if her scarf hadn't been in they way and motioned for them to be quiet. They all nodded, just now noticing the sleeping Eren.
Krista quietly walked up to the pair, the rest of the group following. She knelt down beside the bed, "What happened?" she said, trying to be as quiet as possible.
"What's the matter with him?" Jean whispered, clearly envious of Eren.
Sasha lit up, "I know what will make him feel better! I'll go get him some food!" she shouted, dashing out of the room.
Eren rolled over, somehow ending up on his side with his arms around Mikasa's waist and his face buried in her stomach.
Mikasa paid no attention to the new development, "He's just tired. I don't know exactly what happened, I only arrived when Eren and Levi were fighting. He…" she paused, not willing to say anything bad about him. She brushed Eren's hair back , "He didn't mean to do what he did."
Bertholdt and Reiner glanced at each other, doubt in their eyes, but they said nothing.
Sasha barged into the room, a potato in hand. "This is all I could get," she said, panting. She held it out and Mikasa took it, thanking her in the process.
"He has to get up," Levi said, appearing just outside of the cramped room. "We have to go fix the wall."
Mikasa glared at him, "Why was I not informed about this?"
"Because you're not my boss, wake him up."
"What makes you think that he's fit enough to go out there right now?" she asked.
"He's "fit enough" when I say he is. Eren! Wake up!" he shouted, making Eren groan.
The first thing Eren noticed was the warm thing he was holding, he cuddled up to it and buried his face into what he would later figure out was Mikasa's stomach.
Eren attempted to drift back off to sleep, but Levi yelled at him again as Mikasa tried to let him sleep.
"Levi… shut up…" he mumbled, still half asleep.
Krista tapped the back of Eren's head and whispered for him to wake up. Mikasa scowled, but didn't stop her.
Eren slowly opened his eyes and was welcomed by darkness, "Huh?" He pulled back and looked up. His eyes widened when he realized it was Mikasa he was holding and he scurried away from her, tumbling off of the bed and onto Krista. Ymir stepped forward to break them up, but Mikasa beat her to it.
Krista scrambled to her feet after Mikasa helped Eren up, she blushed and hid behind Ymir.
"Are you okay?" she squeaked, peeking her head out.
"Yeah, I guess so," he said, confusion clear on his face.
"Let's go," Levi said, quickly dragging Eren out of the room. "You gave me a hard time this morning, it's about time you earn your keep."
"I'm sorry Levi," Eren said, a sad expression adorning his features. "I didn't mean to hurt you."
"Don't get all sentimental on me, you're going to repair the wall today."
-That's it for today! It's so short because I wanted to give you guys a little taste of the events to come. I hope you had just as much fun reading this as I did writing it. Thanks! (I'll think about the whole summary thing).
