"Hello? Miss?" said a nurse to Mikasa. Mikasa stirred in her sleep, still not waking up. The nurse sighs and then talks a little louder. "Miss!", she screams into Mikasa's ear.
Mikasa wakes up with a start but realizes that she can't get up from the position she is in. "Miss. I'm going to have to ask you and your boyfriend to leave.", she said as more of a command than anything.
Mikasa was confused at first, not knowing what the nurse meant by her and her 'boyfriend'. She tried to sit up again but noticed that there was an arm around her. She looked up to see that she was laying, nuzzled, under Eren's arm.
She blushed and slowly moved his arm away from her. He woke up at the sudden movement and yawned. He then rubbed his eyes and looked around, realizing where he was.
He then made I contact with the nurse, "Where's Pyxis?!" he said anxiously. The nurse then replied, "He was moved into surgery earlier today."
Eren then was about to ask something when suddenly the nurse cut him off, "No sir. You can't see him right now. You two have to leave right now. You've been here since yesterday just sitting here cuddling."
Eren looked at her funny while Mikasa's blush deepen as she tried to hide it from Eren's view.
Mikasa then piped in, "Wait do you know where my mom went?" The lady then sighed and then said, "Look kid. You two have to go now. I don't know where your mom went but I can't just have you two sitting in here. We need to make room for the patients."
Before either of them could protest they were both shooed out and were escorted out of the hospital.
When they reached the outside of the main entrance, the hospital doors were closed behind them. Eren went to the doors and began banging on them. One of the security guards came out and yelled at him, "Sir! Your distributing the patients and their families! It won't do your grandpa any good with you doing this now go home!"
Eren was about to explode but Mikasa put her hand on his shoulder. Eren stopped and looked into her eyes. His anger melted away and his head fell down. The security guard closed the door and went back inside.
Mikasa then checked her phone and saw that her mom texted her last night. The text read 'Mikasa. I think that Eren is going to need comfort tomorrow so take him to our house for Christmas. I won't be there, I got called into work and had to leave. Please make him feel welcomed and have a Merry Christmas. I love you see you soon.'
Mikasa put her phone away and looked at Eren who had a tear going down his face. She didn't know what he was going through but she knew that she had to be there for him or he might do something stupid or worse.
She took his hand and looked him in the eyes. She said, "Come on Eren. Let's go to my house." Eren looked at her and simply nodded. They walked to her house hand in hand without saying anything on the way there. The silence was a pleasant one.
During the walk Mikasa kept on looking over at Eren to make sure he was okay. His appearance looked peaceful but his eyes held a certain sadness. She wondered how she could cheer him up. She always saw him as a guy that always had something to say. It was odd to see him so quiet, She didn't think that anyone meant that much to him. Mikasa was paying so much attention to Eren that she didn't realize that she was shivering. It started to snow on their way home.
Eren took off his jacket and wrapped it around Mikasa. Mikasa was a little startled but said "Thank you but aren't you going to be cold now." Eren simply said, "Probably" , showing no emotion. Mikasa was kind of sad because he seemed so distant now. Mikasa then got an idea and put some of the jacket around Eren and some of it around her so they were huddled together while walking. Eren was caught off guard and Mikasa could see a tiny blush forming on his cheeks.
Eren then mumbled, "Thanks". And Mikasa could have swore that she saw a tiny smile.
They walked for a good amount of time in silence until they reached the front door of Mikasa's house. When she reached it she opened the door and led Eren to the couch in the living room.
She turned on the television and went to look for blankets in the back as he stayed on the couch. She was looking for her throw blankets but couldn't find any except for one. She assumed that her mother had them in the washer. She came back expecting Eren to be searching for something to watch but he just sat there with a blank face staring at his hands.
Mikasa then said "I only have one blanket so…" Eren cut her off and said, "You can have it. I think you're colder than me." She blushed and said, "I was going to say that we can share…" as her voice trailed off. Eren snapped up from his depressed state for a second and gave a small smile. Mikasa took that as a yes and then took a seat next to him under the blanket.
She put on the television to a Christmas movie and sat in silence enjoying his company. She couldn't tell if he was enjoying it or not but she was glad he wasn't crying anymore.
They were halfway through the movie when She heard Eren's stomach rumble. "Oh I almost forgot. You must be hungry since we didn't finish our dinner." Before Eren can say anything, Mikasa gets up and goes to the kitchen and starts grabbing pans and putting on her apron.
Eren could see Mikasa making pancakes and bacon. Next thing he knew he saw smoke rising from the kitchen and smelt burnt pancakes. Mikasa ran out with a tray of the burnt food and had her head looking down.
"I'm sorry. I wanted to make something wonderful to cheer you up but I burnt it." she said with her eyes looking at her feet. Eren couldn't help but let out a small chuckle. Mikasa looked up to meet his gaze. Eren grabbed a piece of bacon and took a bite. "Extra crispy. Just the way I like it." he said with a small smile.
Mikasa was shocked at the sudden change in behavior. Eren then grabbed Mikasa's hand and led her to the kitchen, "Now let's see what we can do about those pancakes."
Eren then rolled up his sleeves and grabbed some pancake mix. He then started whipping the pancake batter with a whisk while Mikasa watched. "Do you want to try now?" he asked offering her the whisk. Mikasa shook her head, "I'm not the best at that."
Eren smiled and said, "Here let me show you." He then proceeded in showing her how to make the batter and then pouring the pancakes onto the griddle. He then added chocolate chips to it and started flipping them perfectly. Mikasa was shocked at how well Eren could 'cook', considering he was only making pancakes. "I didn't know you cooked?" Mikasa said amazed. Eren chuckled and replied, "This isn't really cooking. I'm just pouring them and flipping them off. I used to make these with Pyxis all the time for the other boys in the orphanage." Eren smiled remembering the past.
Mikasa was a little shocked. She didn't expect Eren to talk about Mr. Pyxis so soon. Let alone do it with a smile. She also didn't expect him to talk about being an orphan. She assumed that it was a touchy subject but he seemed fine. It was kind of beautiful to her because it seemed like he wasn't sad to think about Mr. Pyxis but happy to talk about him.
"Why don't you grab us some plates." said Eren, interrupting Mikasa's train of thoughts. Mikasa nodded and went to grab some utensils and plates. She was happy to see Eren in a better mood than before. They took their plates to the living room and finished the movie. This time with a more happy atmosphere.
Eren then asked Mikasa, "Do you want to go out somewhere." Mikasa was shocked thinking that he was asking her out on a date. She looked at his face but all she could see was him just waiting for a response. When she didn't answer Eren then said, "I just want to go out and do something to… you know… clear my head." Mikasa gave a breath of relief as if her heart was going to burst out of her chest. Of course he didn't mean it as a date. He just needs to do something to forget about everything that's happening around him.
Mikasa then finally answered him with, "Yes of course. Where did you have in mind?" Eren smiled and said follow me.
