"Damn it, I'm hungry, Mikasa let me eat first-"
"Kyo, this is important. I'm sure your empty stomach can wait."
Kyo raised an eyebrow, but didn't question it because of the tone that she used in her voice.
Alright crazy, let's hear what you have to say. He silently thought.
As Mikasa sat down at the table, she cleared her throat. She wasn't all that sure how to begin. Everything felt off beat, since Eren wasn't there by her side. It was almost like waking up and realizing that it was going to be an off day. Except for the fact that this feeling wasn't going to end in a day.
"Spit it out already! I'm hungry!"
Mikasa looked up at him, such a whiner, just like Eren. This guy reminded her of Eren in a couple of ways. She sighed as she began with a story that Eren told her, he had apparently gotten this story from Commander Pixis.
"Alright, be patient. I have a story to tell you.
A long time ago, this world was at peace. Suddenly, wars broke out. There were plenty of people that disagreed with each other on everything. Everyone was against everyone, there was no peace. Suddenly someone created something that would help keep humanity together. In their mind, this creation would be against all humanity. Because of this, humanity would have to stick together to help destroy these monsters.
The names of these monsters were titans. Titans had one and only one motive, to eat humans. They appeared out of nowhere, they started to eat all the humans, and destroyed everything in their paths. At the point of extinction, humanity created three 50 meter walls to keep titans out. The outer wall was called Wall Maria. The middle wall was called Wall Rose, and the Third Wall, the wall in which the king was, was called Wall Sina. There was peace for 100 years. For 100 years, humans never set foot outside the walls except for the military to find out more information about the titans.
Suddenly, one day, the outer wall was breached by a huge titan, a titan that had never been seen before. Titans soon came in, taking over Wall Maria. So many people died that day. Humanity had been attacked once again, people wallowed in fear.
Life back then was to either live or die.
There was a military back then, as well. They divided into three groups. The Survey Corps where soldiers risk their lives by going out and beyond the walls to find out more about Titans and their origins. They also carry out missions that are handed to them by the government. Then there is the Garrison, in which the soldiers watch the walls and make sure that safety is regulated. They are also first to help if a wall is breached. And lastly, the Military Police, they are the ones that hide in the middle wall guarding the king.
Many people were scared back then. They did not know whether the other walls were going to get breached or not. They lived in fear. The soldiers risked their lives daily, especially those in the Survey Corps, those who ventured out and beyond the walls into titan territory. That was the life that was lived back then.
That is the time period that I come from, Kyo. That is what my world is like. I am not sure what I am doing here or how I got here. I need to get back to that time frame. I must get back to the most important person to me, the person who saved me, Eren."
Mikasa's eyes watered slightly and Kyo blinked unsure of what to say. Mostly, he had no idea how to react. He believed her though, partly because of her uniform and her weird gear on her hips. But the other part was because of how she told the story; the look in her eyes told him that she was not making this up. He got the feeling that Mikasa would not lie about something like this, either.
"Tch. Fine. You are full of problems, you know that? I'll believe ya." He scratched the back of his head, he knew he was going to regret this later, but he still offered because he would feel like an ass if he didn't.
"If you'd like you can have a place to stay here. You'll have to cook your own meals though! Unless...you don't know how to use this equipment...or do you? I mean...tch. Just forget it. I'll cook the meals."
Mikasa looked at him, relief swelled over her. She nodded and smiled slightly, something that didn't really happen. Kyo was caught off guard by her smile, it made her look beautiful.
"I will make some lunch. Stay right there." He went into the kitchen, he was annoyed with himself for being too damn nice…but it was nice to be treated like a human being and not like a monster.
In the other room Mikasa sighed, it felt like something had been lifted off her shoulders. She put her head on the table and without realizing it, she was asleep.
Mikasa felt the coldness sweep over her body once again. She could never get used to this bitter coldness. Where was she? She looked up; all she saw around her was thick, dense fog. She reached out as she grasped for nothing. One word kept repeating in her head, Eren. She took two slow steps and noticed that she once again had her gear.
Eren.
Her heart beat quickly. She started to walk faster, slightly yelling out for Eren. She noticed the floor looked different where she was, it wasn't ground floor. Mikasa stopped; she saw the fog around her feet. It made a quick drop a few inches in front of her. She knelt on the floor; she was probably on a roof. She softly spoke Eren's name, and she felt weak as she stood back up.
"Right here," Eren's soft voice suddenly came behind her. She felt his touch, his hand on her shoulder; she turned around, relieve swelling inside of her.
"Eren-"
But he wasn't smiling at her. He was looking at her with anger and hate in his eyes. His hand didn't leave her shoulder, she raised her hand to take his but stopped when he clutched her shoulder with an unusual strength. She winced from the pain, what was happening? Within a matter of seconds he pushed her off the edge.
She was falling through the cold fog, he quickly disappeared from her sight.
"Oy-"
Mikasa sat up, she was covered in cold sweat.
"Y'know, we have a guest room if you need one. Don't just fall asleep on the table…oy, are you okay?"
Mikasa was shaking, she didn't take her sight off the table. Why did her dreams feel so real? Even her shoulder was aching from where Eren had grabbed her in the dream. She shook her head,
"Yeah…sorry. I had a very realistic dream…I need to get back to Eren. I feel like something's not right…"
She looked at the orange haired boy. She was once again filled with desperation.
"Maybe you should eat first…it's been a long day."
Kyo spoke softly, he was obviously not used to helping out others. Neither was Mikasa, she awkwardly nodded as he handed her a plate of rice balls,
"…here. If you don't like them then you can make your own food."
Mikasa nodded quietly as she thanked him, she looked at the food before her. What…was it? She observed it carefully. It seemed to be made out of rice. Kyo looked at her with an amused face, had she never had a rice ball before? Sure enough she looked at him,
"…What exactly is this?"
He sighed, he felt like he was talking to someone from a different world. Wait…he was. She took a bite into the rice ball and her eyes widened. It had such a subtle yet delicious taste to it. She took another bite into it; Kyo just rolled his eyes and started to eat. Being with this girl was going to be interesting, wasn't it?
"You're really good at this. Thank you so much."
"Yeah, yeah. You're starting to sound like Tohru now."
He looked down, he felt something odd inside of him. Mikasa noticed the change in his behavior, somehow she recognized it easily. But why did she recognize it…? Was it because the way he felt reminded her of Eren? She didn't know what to say to him… Kyo looked at her, why was she looking at him like that? It caught him off guard, he stood up.
"Maybe you should get some rest. The guest room is just up the stairs, the first to your right. If you need anything, I'll probably be up on the roof."
He took the dishes and went into the kitchen. Mikasa stood up and walked towards the room. Deep inside her she hoped that this was a dream. She hoped that when she fell asleep, she would wake up to Eren's presence. She closed her eyes and thought of Eren.
