Chapter II

The three of them had now been in the water for an hour and had only recently found shelter inside a cave at the bottom of the sea bed, covered in seaweed fronds and anemones. Armin had figured that it would be good to find a place for them to rest before night fell again since the sea was just as dangerous as the world above. Mikasa and Eren looked at each other, then looked towards Armin.

"You'll go out first, agreed?" She said. "You know more about the sea than either of us, you're the smartest"

"But... Mikasa, I'm not very strong! What if I run into any danger?!"

She patted his shoulder affectionately "Then you'll be able to outsmart anything that comes your way, don't be afraid" She said before quickly kissing him on the cheek. "You'll be just fine"

Armin blushed, he was shy around girls, even if it was Mikasa.

"Alright, thanks guys!" He perked up and gave them a friendly smile and a wave before he left.

As he swam out through the cave, the colour of the water had changed from that of a murky blue to a sunset pink. He looked up at the gentle waves of the water above, rays of light hitting the surface and casting a glow into the sea around him. It was so warm and beautiful, he had never felt anything like it. As Armin was chosen to scout ahead first to find anything that could help Mikasa, he couldn't help but wonder what use he was to them.

"I'm the smartest?" He thought to himself.

He swam gracefully through the water, light rays shining from his turquoise blue tail. He started making notes in his head of what he had found in his books. He saw everything, from pink starfish to many colourful and exotic creatures that he had never seen before. Meanwhile, Eren was tending to Mikasa since she was still without any clothes and she felt very uncomfortable, especially since she didn't know where her scarf was. Eren knew that she was strong, but he still had to help her. She was the most important girl in his life.

"Eren" She moaned softly, wrapping her muscular arms around his back "I'm worried... what if Armin doesn't find what we're looking for?"

"And what would that be?" Eren asked "Something to wear, duh! I can't swim around like this with my top exposed!"

"Alright, alright... but here's just a question, would you be okay about showing them to me?" Mikasa's face turned red

"My god, Eren you pervert!" She shouted.

Eren laughed "But Mikasa, I've known you for a long time and I'm not a pervert!"

"Then tell me why you want to look at my breasts?"

"B-because... because I..." Eren stuttered, he had never told Mikasa about his feelings for her before "Because I really love you!" He confessed "I want to see you because I love you Mikasa!"

"Oh Eren!" She playfully whacked him with her ruby coloured tail again.

(Not much was changed in this chapter thankfully.)
