Day Three ya'll – if this late, many apologises!
I want to give a special mention to the "guest" reviewer, who is the only person who has reviewed. Shame on the rest of you. No I'm kidding, I don't mind if you do or don't but it is really encouraging for the writer when you see them!
Anyways…let's do this!
Warnings – Mentions of Sex and Swearing
Day Three
Apple Blossoms – Good Fortune and Hope
It was late in the evening, when Eren and the rest of them finally got to eat. After a routine patrol went bad and turned into a 6-hour titan-killing spree, the team had gotten back to headquarters much late than planned. Eren looked round to his left to see Mikasa, who's face was still covered with flecks of mud and blood. Her hair was messy and her eyes were drooping from a lack of sleep but still as she turned to face him, she gave him a smile. Of late, she had been acting a bit strange, smiling more often and seemed less murderous, however the rotting Titan bodies from today would care to disagree.
It was strange to see Mikasa smile. Not strange in a bad way but just…unusual, it was rare occurrence. He started to count the times he had seen her smile since he had known her and was disheartened when he just scraped into double digits.
"Hey Eren" She said, disrupting his thought "Have my bread"
"No Mikasa" Eren said, his eyebrows knitting together "You should have it, you need your strength"
She made to pull the bread apart so that they could share but he glared at her fiercely and she dropped her head and ate her bread quietly.
The door was flung open and their corporal, Levi came in with a deep scowl imbedded into his face. The troops made a motion to stand and he waved them to remained seat.
"If one of you shitty brats stands up and salutes me, I will put you stable duty for an entire month"
He was in a bad mood and Eren lowered his head so that he wouldn't have to face the corporal's wrath. Unfortunately for him, Levi, who always sat with his squad took the seat opposite him with a plate in one hand and cup of steaming tea in the other.
He eyed them all with his dark eyes and grunted.
"You lot should all cheer up," He said blowing the steaming service of the tea "None of you are stewing in a titan's stomach so look grateful, that's an order"
They all looked up at him as he took a sip from his tea.
"Who made this tea?" Levi asked after eying them all suspiciously. They all remained silent and after a few moments the soft voice of Mikasa spoke up.
"I did sir"
He raised an eyebrow and looked at her. He was so unreadable and it was common knowledge that although Levi respected Mikasa as a fighter, the two often clashed on other matter, mainly Eren. Then Eren's eyes nearly popped out of his head when Levi gave Mikasa a genuine smile and if his eyes hadn't popped, they certainly were going to when Mikasa smiled back.
They stared for each other, smiles still gracing their face and then, as if the moment never happened, went back to their food.
The table sat in silence a bit longer and Eren felt the awkwardness sit in his chest until Connie piped up from the other end of the table.
"If the Titan's didn't exist" Connie started, a small smile starting to form on his face.
"Which they do," Jean said, trying to shut him up, which earned him a slap to the head from Sasha.
"If the Titan's didn't exist," Connie repeated, "What would you all like to do with your lives?"
It was a question that Eren knew they had all thought about. It was the dreams that plagued their minds at night. As the others thought of their answers or were too afraid to voice them, Eren decided to speak up.
"When Mikasa, Armin and me were younger, we used to look through history and geography books and read about the world that was beyond the wall so I think I would like to travel and to see the world"
"Yeah me too" Armin said in a cheery voice, "I read about these islands that sit in the middle of the ocean that are made an active volcano"
"Woah" Jean said in awe, "That sounds cool"
"Yeah it does" Armin said, "It's a shame that I lost the book"
"I think I would like act in plays at the theatre," Historia said shyly running her fingers through her hair. "I used to read a lot of plays when I was younger"
"I think you be great at that" Ymir said patting her shoulder lovingly "I personally would love to writer"
"Really" Connie asked, thinking that she was joking
"Yes" Ymir said coldly "And what would the great Connie Springer be?"
"I would be carpenter" Connie said triumphantly "Like my dad, what about you Sasha?"
Sasha, who was still scoffing her face said through mouthfuls of food, "I would love to be chef"
"You do realise that you would have to cook and serve other people food right?" Jean asked her, looking about her with scepticism.
"Oh" she said swallowing, "What jobs are there where you can eat food all day?"
"None" They all said collectively and she just blinked and carried on eating.
"What about you Jean?" Historia asked
"Err, I don't know," He said obviously hiding something
"Yeah you do" Eren retorted
Jean cringed and then looked away sheepishly "I would like to paint"
"You can draw?" Eren blurted out, which resorted in Mikasa's elbow in his ribcage
"Err, yeah I suppose I can" He said returning his gaze back to the rest of him.
"What about you Corporal?"
"I think it's time for bed," Levi said coolly
"Not fair" Connie protest "Come on Sir"
Levi glared at him and then sighed, "I would like to live far away and live away from annoying little shits like you"
Although it was said with obvious contempt, a small smirk was tugging at his lips and then shooed them all to bed without another word.
Eren said good night to rest of them and made his way to his room when he ran into another officer, who asked him to give a message to the Corporal.
Eren turned on his heal and climb the flight of stairs of the Corporal's office with the message in hand.
He reached the door and was about to knock when he heard voices from the other side of the door. The corporal had company.
"You were too obvious early"
"I don't think I was" That was Levi and he sounded really strange, it wasn't his usual snarky tone.
"You need to be careful" The voice was stern but soft. It was a woman's voice.
The talking stopped for a while and Eren's curiosity grew and decided to peer the keyhole, which was actually bigger than he thought it would be.
His vision wasn't great but he saw the Corporal leaning against the front of his desk, his eyes locked on the other person in the room, who Eren couldn't see. Yet again the Corporal was different. His eyes were without their infamous glare and lifeless glint. They looked softer and were almost…happy.
"I will be more careful if stop pouting like that," Levi said rolling his eyes, pushing himself of his desk and leant out of view. From the creaking of the chair, Eren guess that he was resting his weight on the chair, probably trapping the person sitting upon it. Eren never heard the woman's reply as it was muffled by the unmistakable sound of the kissing. It was soft and pleasant sound but it kind of made Eren feel sick. Who was in there with the Corporal?
"That's better" Levi said in a small whisper
"I suppose but I don't want the others to know" The woman said and Eren's blood went cold, that was a voice he had known since he was a kid, it was Mikasa.
Mikasa and the Corporal. Mikasa and Levi, the man she "claimed" she would to revenge on for what he did to Eren at the trail. Well, if she had planed to get revenge by chapping up his lips then she was doing sterling job!
He wasn't sure if he was mad or happy. Mad because she was keeping it a secret from him and he began to worry about if this would disrupt her duty as a solider.
Happy because by their display showed that maybe for the first time in her life Mikasa had something that had chosen to do. Eren heard the voices again and decided to listen again.
"Would you really like to do that?" Mikasa asked
"Well, we can have a bit of foreplay but we both know the best bit is when we actually do it"
Eren cringed as he heard is 'sister' hit the Corporal playfully.
" I meant living far away from the rest of the world"
"Oh that" He said nonchalantly "Yeah, I would like to live in a cabin, in a forest or near a river"
"By yourself?" Mikasa question
"Well yes"
"Oh right" Mikasa said a little dejected and the room fell silent for a while.
"But recently I have had another idea" Levi spoke and he saw Levi get close to Mikasa again.
"I think being alone would be bothersome and I am not that young anymore so I should probably settle down" He stopped and the started again "Get married and have a few brats of my own"
"A few?"
"Yes" He said in small voice "I think I would like a little girl, that resembled her mother in looks but had my personality and then maybe a son, who had kind heart and would battle me for his mother's affection"
"You seem to have given this a lot of thought," Mikasa said, mimicking Levi's tone of voice.
"But if you more or less that would be okay, it is your body after all" He said casually.
What?
WHAT?!
"What?" Mikasa choked out in surprise.
"I said it would be your decision on the amount of brats we would have"
"Me?"
"Yes" Levi said, getting sick of her question "Don't you want to have my kids?"
Eren waited with baited breath for her reply. He hadn't realised that they were in that deep. He only caught a hint of their secret relationship at the table earlier and he hadn't even known about their relationship and now they were talking about the future.
"I would love that"
Then he heard some more kissing and some soft moaning from Mikasa. After 5 minutes of that, the talking started again
"Will you let me have you?" Levi said in a huffed tone
"What do you mean?"
"Will you let Eren go and have me instead?" Levi asked
"Once the world is safe from Titans, I will let him go" She said "But you will always have me and I will always have you, wasn't that what we promised?"
He never heard Levi's reply and the talking never started again. Deciding that he should probably leave before he heard something he didn't want to hear or someone caught him or even worst the Corporal or Mikasa.
As he rose, leaving the note by the door he vowed that Levi and Mikasa would get there future together, that they would all get the futures they deserve.
Third one done!
I am not sure about this one but I wanted to try something different, hence the Eren POV. Less LeviMIka and less specific to the prompts than I would like but I like the idea of everyone having a nice future but I couldn't write a story about them in the future because the SnK world is pretty bleak but maybe in the other prompts – we shall see.
Review if you like : )
