Hey guys, sorry this took so long! I simply wound up writing two one-shots separate from this series so if you guys are interested in those just head over to my authors account and give them a read. One is a Eren and Mikasa fanfic labeled "Sharp Teeth" but it is super edgy and rated M so don't read it unless your of age. The other is simply a one-shot dedicated to Eren himself, nothing really of interest but it's something I wanted to write before the series came to a close.

Also this will probably be the final chapter until chapter 139 of the manga comes out. No worries though! I will continue to write this story and there will probably be more Eren and Mikasa one-shots and stories in the future. I simply don't want to be writing multiple long running stories at the same time. So for now, enjoy this chapter while we wait for the final official chapter! Once thats out we shall all see each other again soon!

Chapter 5

Eren's Saturday morning was definitely one of annoyance. This is why he shouldn't have given Mikasa any type of sympathy. Eren was beyond pissed. He was currently sitting on the Island of his apartment with bright red cheeks in the shape of hands on his face. His mothers slaps were painful. But, ignoring the searing pain on his face-the source of his ruined morning was currently standing next to his mother in the kitchen. The goth girl and his mother were happily chatting as they cooked. They were also...giggling? Eren scoffed a bit, his mother was definitely enjoying this. She was already treating her like a daughter. His mother whispered something to Mikasa that made the girl laugh happily and this increased his annoyance. His mother was enjoying the goth girl's presence a little too much. Even though, she is the reason why his mother is currently furious with him.

Unfortunately, no amount of explaining could convince her nothing had occurred between the two. Carla full heartedly believes her son brought home a girl and shameless slept with her. What would other mothers in the home owners association say if they caught wind of this? Would she have to tell others her son was delinquent again? That he hasn't cleaned up his act? "Oh good heavens! This simply wouldn't do! " Carla thought to herself worriedly. But, after speaking with Mikasa for a bit she had grown fond of her extremely quick. She was such a sweet girl and the perfect future daughter-in-law. Carla already had plans but unfortunately her stupid son skipped so many steps and already took the girls innocence. "Kids these days! I thought I had raised him better!" Carla thought to herself angrily. She had to stop thinking about this indecent incident or she'd have another migraine. Carla sighed to herself a bit before she placed the breakfast the duo had made on the island for them to eat. She looked at Eren and felt the migraine flare up, yep, this boy would definitely be the death of her one day.

Eren meanwhile, unaware of his mother's thoughts was about to happily start eating the pancakes cooked when Carla slapped his hand with her spatula. "OW!" Eren shouted in pain holding his hand. "WHAT THE HELL MOM!?!" Eren shouted angrily when he started nursing the painful red mark. "DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK TO ME THAT WAY! FURTHERMORE! YOU AREN'T ALLOWED TO START EATING UNTIL YOUR FUTURE WIFE IS SETTLED DOWN!! WHAT TYPE OF HUSBAND ARE YOU GOING TO BE ACTING LIKE THIS!?!" Carla shouted and lectured back furiously. "FUTURE WIFE!?! HUSBAND?!? WHAT THE HELL MOM?!?" Eren shouted back, both in shock and anger. Carla immediately hit the boy in the back of his head comically while steamed rolled off his head with a large bump. "DOES NOTHING I SAY STICK WITH YOU!" Carla shouted with her hands on her hips. She then quickly lowered her voice and wrapped her arms around Mikasa and spoke with kindness "Oh! I'm so sorry sweetie! My son is such a failure of a man but, rest assured! I'll beat him into a fine gentleman by the time you both are of age to get married!" Mikasa could only blush and smile happily when she heard this. Not only was she happily enjoying the fact she won over Carla Yeager-she was also enjoying the women's embrace. It felt warm, it felt like home. It was this motherly feeling, something she hadn't experienced in a long time.

After a bit of hugging, Carla pulled away and Mikasa frowned a bit missing the warmth already. "Ok honey, let's eat!" Carla spoke enthusiastically pulling Mikasa her out of her thoughts, she nodded her head and sat down next to Eren on his left while Carla moved to sit next her left. She was sitting in the middle of the two Yeagers, one was very displeased while the other was very happy. It was obvious which emotions went to which Yeager. Eren sighed and clicked his tongue in annoyance when he saw Mikasa sit herself next to him. He couldn't even fathom how he allowed himself to act that way yesterday. This girl had become a nuisance in his family life now as well. This girl was slowly working her way into everything of Eren's world. "So Eren, how's the food?" His mother spoke up breaking his train of thought. Eren put the fork down and looked at how much he consumed, it was a lot and he had done it without much thought. He then turned his eyes to look at Mikasa and saw the girl fidgeting while blushing. It was pretty obvious she made most of the breakfast this morning and was awaiting his opinion. Eren knew the food was delicious but he wouldn't say it, so he simply rolled his eyes and gave his response "It's fine." Eren then proceeded to pick up his cup to gulp down the remaining orange juice "ERE-" his mother was about to say something before he interrupted by slamming his cup down and getting up.

"I don't have time for this. I have to meet Zeke today. I'm leaving." Eren said coldly looking at Mikasa with his narrowed eyes and Mikasa could only look down sadly, feeling her heart crack a bit at his cold tone. Whenever he behaved like this all her insecurities would come back into her head full force. Eren face softened a bit when he saw Mikasa's face but immediately snapped himself out of it. He grabbed his keys, put on his shoes and left his apartment with a small slam to the door. Mikasa flinched a bit when she heard the door but then immediately felt warm arms wrap around her muscled frame. "I'm sorry Mikasa, as his mother I'm ashamed of his behavior." Carla said somberly "but because I'm his mother I know him well. I know he'll come around, you're too much of catch!" Carla continued trying to lift the mood.

"Thank You Mrs. Yeager." Mikasa responded with a small smile "Oh honey, I already told you to call me Carla!" Carla said enthusiastically. Mikasa could only blush and smile while nodding in understanding. Carla seeming satisfied enough with the action decided to continue speaking "Well finish up, get changed, and I'll drop you off at home, ok!". "Mrs. Yea-" Mikasa then immediately corrected herself "Carla. I can get home myself." Mikasa said hurriedly. "Nonsense honey! You're my future daughter-in-law and you deserve the best treatment!" Carla responded in an excited manner. Mikasa blushed at her words but immediately felt that strain in her chest when she remembered Erens treatment from earlier. He was cold again unlike last night. Last night Eren was soft and sweet to her and came to her aid. Just like all those years ago.

With a heavy heart, Mikasa got up to go get changed back into her regular clothes. She sighed a bit when the realization came to her that she'd need to take off Eren's shirt and return it. She lifted it to her nose taking a sniff while Carla got busy cleaning up the dishes from their breakfast. Mikasa already knew she couldn't argue against the women so she let it be. Mikasa decided to just enjoy the small part of Eren she currently owned before she had to go home, remembering the warmth of the boy she fell in love with.

Zeke sighed a bit after he caught the baseball in his catchers mitt. It seemed as though his half-brother was distracted today. His throws were wild. Zeke had been sprinting around the open field of the park a lot. It was no problem for him as he was retired pro but, it still tired him out having to keep up with his brothers mindless throws. Zeke made a grunt in annoyance once he saw Eren throw the baseball too far to his right. Again. Zeke quickly moved and caught the ball by diving for it. Once he had the ball securely in his mitt, he decided its best to throw in the towel for the day. He got up and dusted off his clothing before he slowly started to walk over to his brother.

Eren who was too lost in his thoughts, didn't notice Zeke walking to him until his brother coughed to get his attention. Eren quickly looked up from the ground when he realized his brother was directly in front of him. Eren quirked his eyebrow and spoke "What's up?" Zeke could only roll his eyes and replied "I should be asking YOU that. You okay little brother?" Eren just tilted his head in confusion and responded "Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?" Zeke just shook his head and pinched the bridge of his nose before he looked back at his brother "Eren, you've been throwing terribly today." Eren merely blinked his eyes a bit before he responded "Oh sorry. My bad, I guess I'm just a little off." Zeke just rolled his eyes and responded "Oh really? I hadn't noticed." His voice was dripping with sarcasm and Eren could only huff with an eye roll of his own.

"Come on, let's take a break." Zeke spoke while turning his head towards a bench placed on the edge of the grassy plains of the park. Eren slowly nodded his head while he followed his brother over to the park bench. Once they had reached the bench, Zeke plopped himself down unceremoniously. He leaned his head back to look up at the clear blue sky while also crossing his legs, he also proceeded to spread his arms behind the bench. Zeke looked a relaxing mafia boss and Eren couldn't help but smile a bit to himself when this thought came to him. Eren merely sat down normally with his legs spread slightly and placed his mitt in the middle of the bench between himself and his brother. Zeke noticed the space between them and frowned a bit. His goal has always been to alleviate that space and today was no different. He had hoped playing baseball would help make their bond as brothers strengthen and it was working.

Eren had been opening up to him each weekend they spent together but, today felt like all the work they had done was reset. So deciding to change up tactics, he decided to have a talk today instead. Zeke turned to look at Eren and saw the boy's face, his mind was wandering again. Zeke then opened his mouth to speak "Okay, so what's going on? You have something on your mind and it's throwing you off. Don't try to argue." Eren just rolled his eyes and sighed before speaking "It's nothing I can't handle Zeke." Zeke raised his right eyebrow before scoffing and chuckling a bit "Eren, you almost hit a baby with your throw today." Eren crossed his arms pouting before he responded "Well, maybe the baby shouldn't have been there." Zeke just face palmed before he spoke again "Eren, the baby was in a stroller being pushed by its mom." Eren just let out an annoyed huff before responding angrily "WHATEVER!" A lot of families and couples flinched at the loud yell Eren let out and all Zeke did was laugh at his brothers frustration.

Eren just rolled his eyes while he watched his brother laugh. He was contemplating leaving before his brother finally calmed down and spoke up again "Okay Eren sorry for that. But seriously, what's going on man, you good?" Eren sighed a bit before he started thinking. He was unsure if he should let his brother know about the chaos known as Mikasa Ackerman. He hadn't gotten close enough to his brother yet to speak about his personal life like school or rather, he always kept the wall up between them on purpose. But as Eren thought more about it, he decided he might as well talk to Zeke about it. Zeke may be able to help him out and figure out a way to continue keeping the goth girl at a far distance. Eren sighed a bit before he started talking, "Well I've got this problem." Eren paused a bit but Zeke merely nodded his head to signal Eren to keep speaking. Eren clicked his toungue and scratched his head before he continued "It's this girl-" Eren turned and saw Zeke had the biggest shit eating grin displayed on his face "So girl problems huh?" Zeke spoke humorously. Eren narrowed his eyes and immediately shouted back with some red to his cheeks "IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!"

Zeke just started bubbling over in laugher while Eren continued his rant "SHE'S JUST ANNOYING AND SHE NEVER LEAVES ME ALONE AND SHE IS CONSTANTLY GETTING TOO CLOSE IN MY LIFE!!" Many people in the park looked over at the chaos between the two brothers. Some looked annoyed but others looked on fondly at seeing the two brothers enjoying themselves.

RINGGGG!!!

The bell signaled the end of the school day, the weekend had gone by in a blink and Monday had rolled around. After a strenuous beginning of the week, like all students, Jean smiled widely when he heard the final bell ring. But he wasn't excited because he got to go home, no, he was excited because he'd finally be able to speak with the goth girl. It had been a couple of weeks since his defeat at the hands of Yeagerbomb and on the same day he got to meet the love of his life. How he had never noticed her was a mystery to him but, he wasn't going to miss the chance of starting a relationship with her. So, after a bit of snooping he found out the goth girl and "Yeagerbomb", Jean rolled his eyes at that nickname while walking, frequent the newspaper club with that blonde kid after school.His plan was foolproof, he asked the teacher who runs the club if he could run some papers for her. Ms. Hange, the schools crazy science teacher jumped at his offer quickly.

Jean chuckled to himself wickedly"My genius is almost frightening." Jean thought to himself, not realizing a lot of students were giving him strange looks while walking by. He was walking with a stack of paper that towered over his frame and the evil laugh wasn't helping students feel safe. After evilly laughing (and struggling) his way through the school, Jean had finally made it to the newspaper room. He shakily opened the door with one hand and the struggle alerted Armin. Armin turned his head toward the door and saw Jean struggling with the aforementioned of stack papers. The boy quickly got up from his seat and took half of the papers to help alleviate Jeans load and in doing so, Jean mumbled a "thank you" under his breath. Once the two large stacks of papers where placed on the table Jean took a deep breath and cracked his back. The amount of papers where crazy, just like that science teacher. Once settled, Jean looked over at the blonde haired boy and saw him already talking excitedly to a black haired boy across the table.

He had glasses as well with a professional looking camera wrapped around his neck, he was the photographer of the club, that much was obvious. It made sense there to only be one, that camera looked expensive and the school isn't going to be buying and handing out multiple camera's that expensive to just mere high school students. Then a thought occurred to Jean, if there's only one student in this school who has proper access to the camera, that could only mean one thing. This kid is the one who got the picture of him getting knocked out by the Yeagerb-GOD! He hated that name! With this thought, Jean rushed over and grabbed the black haired boy by his collar knocking some papers over. "HEY, WHAT THE HELL!?!" Armin shouted in fear and annoyance for his friend.

"SO YOUR'E THE BASTARD THAT GOT THAT PICTURE IN THE FIRST PLACE!?!" Jean shouted directly to the boy he had currently in his grasp. Looking at the boy more closely, you could see the freckles he had but besides his looks, the boy looked terrified. He shakily replied with a "Yes." and looked down in shame. Jean felt a vein on his forehead throb and after hearing the confirmation Jean was getting ready to beat the boy into the ground. He raised his fist and-"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HORSEFACE!?!" Eren had now decided to make his appearance, he barged into the room and looked on in anger at Jean. It looks like the boy couldn't understand when to get his act together. "Put the guy down horseface or you're gonna get a round two of what happened last time." Eren threatened with his eyes glowing that green he had become known for.

Jean gulped a bit before he roughly pushed the kid down on the floor and narrowed his eyes at Eren before speaking, "You know this is the guy who got the photo right? I heard you were annoyed by it too." Eren simply narrowed his eyes a bit and the kid sitting on the floor shuddered when he met the Yeagerbomb's steely gaze. When he saw how badly the kid was shaking Eren just scoffed and walked over to the kid. He shoved Jean a bit out the way and extended his hand out to the boy to help him up. The boy widened eyes at the hand and turned to look at Armin who was merely smiling back at him.

He grabbed Eren's hand and while he got up, Eren spoke "What's your name kid?" Eren questioned "Marco Bott." The boy responded shakily and Eren merely nodded his head. He heard Jean scoff and mutter "Pathetic." behind him. Eren rolled his eyes and decided to question Jean "Why the hell are you even here horseface?" Jean sputtered a bit at the nickname Eren casually called him by. He took a couple of seconds to recompose himself before he answered "Well, I definitely didn't come to see you, I was just helping out Ms. Hange with some papers." Eren just rolled his eyes and turned his head to speak with Armin "Hey Armin, you done with the newspaper stuff?" Armin just shook his head and responded "No, unfortunately not." Eren sighed and replied back with annoyance, "Well hurry it up then!" Armin just chuckled at his friends impatience before an imaginary lightbulb blinked over his head, he had an idea. With an evil smirk he let his thought known to the others "Well, we could get done faster if you and Jean help us." Jean and Eren immediately started to randomly sputter loudly against helping. Armin just chuckled and responded, "Come on guys we can get done quicker!". Eren and Jean narrowed their eyes at each other and you could see the imaginary lighting bolt flickering between them, they were contemplating.

"Fine! But if horseface gets too annoying I'm leaving." Eren said annoyed. Jean grabbed Eren's T-shirt and responded with a bulging vein on his forehead "FUCK YOU YEAGER!" Eren angrily grabbed Jeans shirt in retaliation and responded "GO JACK OFF TO A HORSE YOU BASTARD!!" Armin and Marco simply ignored the two arguing in the back while they decided on how they wanted to go about getting some articles to write. Unfortunately, since they had one camera, all four them would travel together. Armin and Marco both turned to speak with the anger teenagers and saw them now wrestling on the floor. Eren was behind Jean with his arm wrapped around the sandy haired boy and Jean was gagging with one arm out in the air trying to breath while the other one tried pull off the green eyed boys arm.

Armin and Marco smiled slightly at the image and Marco quickly took a picture of the duo. The two didn't hear the shutter and the duo standing now would be a good time to start moving and getting to work. Armin and Marco walked towards the door and called for their attention. Once their attention had been gotten, the two boys immediately untangled themselves and started walking with the other two down the corridor. But, while walking, they continued to stare angrily and stick their tongues out at each other, they looked like they were five years old and it humored Armin and Marco who both chuckled at the exchange. Once Eren had turned back his focus to Armin and Marco did Jean quickly remember why he was in the Newspaper club. He came there for the goth girl. He bit the bottom of his lip and decided to try and question the two on her whereabouts , he placed his arms behind his head and tilted his head up to look at the ceiling when he decided this stance was casual enough, "Hey, where's that goth chick you guys always hang out with anyway?" Armin raised his eyebrow questioningly and Eren narrowed his eyes to look at the boy when they heard this, "Why would you like to know?" Eren responded with a little bit of anger in his voice and Armin smirked a bit at it. Maybe people wouldn't pick up on it too much but, his connection with Eren had gotten very strong and he already had picked up on small little things like this, "No reason. Just curious." Jean responded while whistling nonchalantly.

Armin chuckled a bit before responding "Mikasa's out sick today." Jean nodded his head, "YES!" he shouted to himself, he finally had a name. Jean quickly turned his head back to look at the hallway they were walking down and decided to start up a conversation with Marco to make it seem like he truly didn't care. But, everyone picked up on it, even Marco. Eren himself felt annoyed a bit, he didn't understand why, he knows the damn bastard pissed him off but, for some reason he didn't like how he asked the question. Eren sighed a bit before he shook his head.

Armin had joined the others twos conversation and Eren decided to join in as well. He shouldn't think too much about it, Jean just pisses him off and that was the only reason why he was annoyed at the horseface.

Right?
