A/N: SO I hope this redeemed the story a little bit after that train wreck of a last chapter! Shout out to my co-writer Atroxify! Thanks for all the great ideas!


Armin just sat there over Mikasa, he had nothing to say. He heard the door open but didn't dare turn his head to see who it was.

Before Armin knew it, there were three people standing behind him. Slowly, he gained the courage to see who it was. Behind him stood Sasha, Christa, and Jean, all of them looked so cheerful until Armin stood up and they saw that it was Mikasa he was watching over.

"Armin! What happened?" Jean yelled as he grabbed Armins shoulders and lightly shook him. Sasha and Christa managed to pry Jean away, but he continued to ask. "What happened to Mikasa?"

"Jean, do you remember the 13 meter titan that Eren saved us from?" Armin asked as Jean shook his head yes. "That titan was the one who hospitalised Mikasa the first time and we had another run in with it. Mikasa was grabbed by it when she threw me through a window to save me."

"How is that titan still alive after what it has done!" Jean screamed in anger.

"Jean! This not the time or place for that!" Christa yelled, but Jean just ignored her.

Sasha had enough of Jeans attitude and punched him in the gut completely winding him as he fell to the floor. "Thanks." was all Christa said.

While Jean was gasping for air on the ground, Armin, Christa, and Sasha turned towards Mikasa and saw she was still asleep.

'Mikasa, how could this have happened to you again, what will Eren do if he really looses you?' Armin thought.

(Inside Mikasas Mind)

All Mikasa needed to hear was a familiar scream and she was off, moving at full speed to try to get to the source of the screaming. Rooftop after rooftop, she moved as fast as her 3DMG would allow her.

The screams belonged to her best friend Armin, but why he was screaming she didn't know but she did know something had gone horribly wrong. When she arrived by Armin, he was still on his knees holding his hand out as if he was reaching for something, tears flowing down his face with his mouth open as if he was about to let out another scream.

Mikasa slowly approached him and when he was finally aware of her presence, his mouth shut and he ran away as fast as he could.

"Armin stop!" Mikasa yelled as she ran after him. Armin made it to a group of people, his friends is Squad 36, they all looked at him like he had gone mad because he showed no signs of stopping and slammed into all of them.

When Mikasa finally caught up, he looked into her eyes for no less than a second and immediately looked back down to the ground and began to push himself away from her.

She stopped moving towards him to help everyone from squad 36 up when she noticed that Sasha was in the group. She helped Sasha to her feet and looked her in the eyes. "Sasha, forgive me for asking this, but have you seen Eren and his squad?"

"I think they already got back to the wall but I'm not sure... you should check Armin though he looks like he's in a bad way." Sasha replied and Mikasa nodded and turned to walk towards Armin.

Armin heard her walking over and was about to get up and run again when she grabbed his wrist and forced him back down.

"Armin, are you hurt? Why are you acting so strangely?" she asked, but he never looked up and she saw him try to look down even farther attempting to avoid all ways of looking at her.

Mikasa let him go and stood up taking a look around and then she said the words he dreaded, the words he wished had never left her mouth. "Do you know where Eren is?"

Armin let out a small gasp causing Mikasa to look at him again, but this time he was looking her right in the eyes, his look not of sadness, but absolute horror. Mikasa once again expected the worst and braced herself for his response as her face as well shifted to a look of shock and horror.

Armin looked down again and started to speak. "The cadets of squad 34 performed their duty with bravery and determination and succeeded in their goal of keeping the titans at bay"

Mikasa felt herself go into shock, her face went blank and her heart-felt like it had stopped beating.

"Though they have perished, they have given the rest of us the strength to fulfil our duties as soldiers!" Armin yelled as his emotions tore him apart while he tried his hardest not to cry. "I'm so sorry Mikasa... Eren... he died saving me, It's all my fault he's dead!" Armin screamed as he put his head on the ground.

Mikasa didn't know what to say or how to react to Eren getting devoured by a titan, she didn't think it could even be possible that Eren was gone. At that, instinct took over, outside she returned to her calm and stoic look, but on the inside she was crying and screaming wishing there was something she could have done.

"Armin, it's ok." Mikasa said, but the words ripped her apart even further. Armin slowly looked up at her as she wrapped her hand around his. "We all still have a job to do, get up."

Armin didn't know what was going on... he wondered why Mikasa was taking the news so well, Eren meant everything to her and she remained her normal self after hearing the news.

Mikasa walked to the edge of the roof and turned around to face everyone. "We still have people dying out there because they don't have help, we are that help and we need to go." she said as she jumped off the roof .

"Did the Corps teach you to let a soldier fight alone?" A man yelled as he and another ran off. Soon, Mikasa heard yells of courage behind her as everyone on the roof was going full speed towards their comrades.

Sasha came up beside Armin while looking at Mikasa in awe. "How does she move so fast?"

Armin looked at Mikasa and saw that she was using way too much of her gas. "No, we have to stop her! At this rate she is going to run out of-" Armin stopped himself as he saw the gas coming from her 3DMG stop and her start plummeting to the rooftops below. "MIKASA!" Armin screamed as he veered off course to try to find her.

Mikasa hit the roof hard and the ground harder, but she suppressed the pain. Nothing mattered to her anymore.

"Why does this always happen? Why must this pain always come back? I have lost every bit oof family I have left... I have no reason to live at this point." Mikasa said to herself as she felt the ground tremble beneath her.

Mikasa looked to her right and saw a large 7 meter titan walking down the road towards her. She put her broken blade back in her 3DMG and just sat there waiting for the titan to put her at peace. Soon enough, the titan grabbed Mikasa and she did not move. Slowly she was brought up to its mouth and was about to be eaten when she heard a voice in her head.

"FIGHT! YOU HAVE TO FIGHT!"

(Back in the Infirmary)

Mikasa woke up with a gasp, she realised what she had done in her dream, she realised that Eren would never forgive her if he found out. She looked around and saw some smiling faces yet again just like when she was hospitalised last time. Christa, Sasha, Jean and Armin were there but once again, she noticed that Eren wasn't there.

"Where is Eren?" she asked and Armin was the first to speak.

"Eren left with some doctors, he should be back-" he was cut off by the door opening.

"Mikasa! I came as soon as I heard you were awake!" he said joyfully as a few doctors came in behind him.

Mikasas eyes widened, Eren looked like he was never touched by that titan. She slowly sat up and asked for everyone to leave. Everyone but Jean left in a hurry, he looked at Eren with a face full of frustration and Eren just gave him a dirty little smirk.

"Hey guys, just give me this one moment... I will leave with you when I am done in here ok?" Eren said turning to the doctors.

The three of them looked at each other and nodded. "Take your time Yaeger." one of them said as they left the room and shut the door.

Mikasa just looked at Eren, she kept thinking how he could have made such a rapid recovery from being so broken. Eren just looked at her with disbelief that she had been hospitalised.

After a moment of just staring, Eren grabbed a chair but Mikasa patted the side of her bed signaling him to sit there instead.

All Mikasa wanted was to be close to him, that's all she ever wanted and this was the perfect moment for her to have her wish. He sat down on the edge of the bed looking away from her, he didn't have anything to say.

Mikasa was still looking at him, she couldn't take her eyes off him but why did he refuse to look at her. Mikasa let out a little pout making Eren turn to her and once there eyes locked, Eren couldn't move his gaze away.

Mikasa slowly grabbed his hand and held it in hers and to her surprise, he showed no signs of resisting. Her face was turning a bright shade of red, she had never felt happier than she did now.

Slowly Mikasa sat up until she felt a breeze on her neck. She reached up and felt for the scarf, but she found nothing but the soft and pale skin of her neck.

"Eren, I'm sorry I lost your scarf again." she said breaking her gaze from his by looking down, but then she felt something warm being wrapped around her, a familiar feel. Mikasa looked back up making the scarf fall into place around her neck. She looked back into his eyes and noticed a small and very much rare smile on his face.

The smiles he usually had were of blood lust for killing the titans, nothing more than him showing his enjoyment for killing them. This smile was a smile of compassion and true happiness. Mikasa let the scarf finish setting itself on her before she grabbed Eren and pulled him into her, embracing hm as much as she could.

Erens face was one of shock, but he quickly gave in a gave her a massive hug back. Mikasas face grew even redder.

The two of them just sat there holding each other for several minutes until Eren started to loosen his hold causing Mikasa to tighten her hold on him.

"Eren, don't ever let me go... I love you."
