Walls Fall

(9/9/13)

Despite her pride she knows that she should thank the Corporal; the bruise to her pride will be very much deserved after everything that happened. He not only saved her twice, resulting in the wound of his leg, but also and most importantly he saved the only member of her family left.

He saved Eren, something that, even though she hated to admit, without his help wouldn't have been accomplished. She knows that Eren is important, humanity's last hope, and above all else comes his safety. But none the less she's beyond grateful.

She swallowed her pride as she knocked on the door to his room, but she received no answer. She knew for a fact that he was inside and so she knocked again, and again nothing.

Wanting to get it over with she turned the doorknob to find the door unlocked and so she let herself in, stepping inside and closing the door behind her only to be greeted with complete darkness. It took a moment for her eyes to adjust and when they did she saw him sitting on his bed, face not in her view.

"Corporal." She called as she made her way towards him. She stopped when she was only a few feet away from him. "I'm here to thank you…" She started, "for saving me, but most of all for saving Eren. If it weren't for you, Eren wouldn't be here right now." She finished her voice barely a whisper.

"We did what we could." He told her. "My squad died to save him, I couldn't let their effort and their lives go to waste." His voice broke as he finished the sentence and Mikasa was surprised to see him silently mourning their lives in the darkness of his room, where no one could see him. She felt intrusive.

"I'm sorry for your loss." She told him as she reached forward to place a hand of support on his. He didn't react or said anything and so she withdrew her hand to leave, but before she could he took hold of her hand and pulled her to him.

Surprised she doesn't react as she falls on top of him and his lips brushed ever so slightly with hers. Slowly she drew back from his lips and her eyes turned to his. He's been crying, she notices and as she watches another tear slides down his cheek and she can't help but feel broken as well.

She places a hand on his shoulder and once again whispers. "I'm sorry…" Words of comfort he so desperately seems to need.

He doesn't reply and instead crushes his lips to hers, his lips are hard and bruising against hers and she feels moisture, his tears on her cheeks. She responds as violently as he, her arms going around his neck and finding its way to his hair.

He only seeks to hold her closer still and soon he has her with her back pressed up against his bed as he hovers over her. It's then that all the walls between them disappear, age and rank don't matter all that matters is that they're there.

All they want after so much death, after so much loss, and suffering is some comfort.


A/N:

Well thanks to the 7 people who reviewed for last drabble, hope you enjoy this one. I really loved writing it and I hope it's not too OOC.

I really love this couple and want to write a multi chapter fic but I don't have the time! Real life sucks! Tomorrow I have a French test...wish me luck.

If I get 7 reviews for this drabble I'll update Wednesday in the morning. I think it's fair.
