Tests and tests ~ Oh how I hate them, especially chemistry.
Oh well, I got another one tomorrow but who cares.
Update \m/ Well I promised more comedy/romance in the future :3
Tears started flowing on her face.
"I know I should have denied his kindness from the start. If I did, maybe now, I wouldn't feel so...feel so..."
Memories flashed in her mind.
His warmth.
His eyes.
His smile.
His caring for her.
His reckless and childish attitude.
His determination.
His annoying face when trying to kill a 15-meter class with her.
His "Fuck everything" face when she kicked his ass in combat practice.
His hands gently played with her hair.
His fingers knitted with hers.
She remembered all of them.
She smiled painfully.
"I should have told him..."
She recalled the time they were sitting on the stairs.
"Why I have to lie? Why I always have to lie? Now I don't have any chances anymore." She sobbed.
"This world is cruel, it's so cruel!"
She cursed everything. Why kept giving her hope only to destroy it.
Why didn't let her just be a heartless warrior.
Why let him enter her life and change her world.
Now he was taken away...forever...just like her parents.
She hit the ground, cried out loud.
"Eren! You reckless idiot! You promised me!You promised me!"
The maroon scarf on her neck flew across her face.
She hadn't taken it off since he gave her. Her tears fell down more and more.
"This world is cruel...yet so beautiful..."
She gave up. She got no more reason to fight anyway.
Why trying?
She laid her head back looking at the blue sky.
Then she closed her eyes.
The titan found her. Immediately it tried to grab her.
She jumped out and picked up her broken swords, sliced its hand once before moved back a few inches.
"I thought I gave up... Why am I..."
Then the smile of the boy appeared again.
A fierce-looking brunette saying "If you don't fight, you can't win."
The image of him wrapping a red scarf around her showed up.
"I'm an idiot." - She stood up firmly. "Such an idiot."
She tightened her blades in her hands.
"If I give up now, if I die..." - She lifted her face up to see the titan. She had a quick glance at her back and found another titan came.
"I won't be able to remember you anymore." - She finished her sentence, ready to beat these two titans into pulp despite her gas loss.
The first titan raised its hand. She bit her lips impatiently.
She finally got it all figured out. Why she loved to be held in his arms, why his warmth was the only thing could melt her icy heart, why she didn't feel lost anymore.
And most important, why she wanted to be with him, to be by his side as long as possible.
"I...toward Eren...I...lo-"
Never she could guess, the other titan landed a fist on the previous one.
She widened her eyes in shock seeing the dark-haired titan devouring the other one.
"Why...it helped me..."
"MIKASA!"
Armin swung through the building and grabbed her, soon landed on a roof, with Connie waiting.
She still looked at the fierce abnormal titan killing its own kind.
"Just...what is it..."
With Armin's plan, they managed to get the gas. Most of the trainees left right away.
Mikasa, Armin, Jean and Reiner's team stayed behind a little bit.
Just a moment ago, the Rogue titan was being eaten, they were about to help it, but it found its own way and killed the surrounding titans.
"Who do you say needs helping again?" - Jean asked Mikasa.
They watched it intensely, almost with no blink.
After defeating the others, it felt down. Steam started coming out.
There was a small sound of ripped skin. Mikasa stared at the steam.
A blurry figure appeared.
Everyone else was still eyes wide open, not knowing what it was yet.
There was only one person realized.
Mikasa shot her hook to the opposite building and swung to the steam.
She heard her name being called due to her reckless action. But she didn't care at all.
She landed on the steaming body and ran to the titan's neck.
She hugged the figure the moment she found it.
She hugged it so tightly, not giving a fuck about the burning heat.
"Eren!"
She cried as small tears started flowing. She laid her head on his chest.
His heartbeat was really slow, but at least it was still there.
"You're ...alive..."
She sobbed, held him as tight as possible.
Armin ran from behind, checking Eren's leg and arm, burst into tears as well.
They were just happy Eren was still alive.
They didn't care why he was in this titan body.
The other trainees, Jean, Annie, Reiner and Bertholdt, stared in confusion and fright.
Eren opened his eyes.
Armin was kneeling next to him. Behind them was the wall.
In front of them were about hundred soldiers, a tall man with frightening face, and a glassed white-haired woman.
"Why...are they looking at me with those eyes..." - Eren fully regained his consciousness.
"Don't move!" - The man shouted. "Or we'll kill you!"
Mikasa stood on a rooftop nearby, watching the boys.
She heard the old man yelling at Eren non-stop, asking if he was human or titan.
"Ridiculous." - She thought.
She wanted to give that man a punch, but she knew she could not.
Small sound of horses walking got her attention. She looked far away, seeing a horse cart, with many soldiers around, some with green capes, some with white-horse-labeled jacket.
"Must be ...Dot Pixis. " - She made a guess, since only that man had such control, to both Scouting Legion and Military Police.
She learnt about that man before joining the Training corps. With his personality, he would be likely to save Eren for bigger plans.
But his cart was still far away. She needed to buy some time.
Finally, an excuse she could use if her "boss" snapped at her recklessness.
She got into her position, set the 3DMG to place.
"Wait, Mikasa, don't say you will get into that mess." - Jean, standing next to her, said.
She ignored his words, shot the gear and quickly landed in front of Eren and Armin.
"Stay back." - She said while getting her blades out.
"Mikasa, what are you doing?!" - Eren shouted in confusion.
"Move away or I'll kill you too!" - The old man got angry.
"Sir, that's Mikasa. She's worth 100 soldiers. It's humanity huge loss to kill her." - The glassed woman said.
"Like I care! Soldiers!"
The surrounding soldiers got their blades out with trembling hands.
Totally contrast to her.
She held the blades tightly, her face showed no fear, only a fierce murderous-looking eyes.
"My specialty is slicing up flesh. If anyone wants me to demonstrate, step forward."
Her words gave a chill to everyone.
The commander bit his teeth, raised his arm up.
"We'll fire the canon!"
The kids widened their eyes.
Mikasa felt a sudden touch on her waist. Eren had grabbed her, then bit his hand.
An explosion happened. Steam was everywhere. A titan body, no, to be correct, a titan skeleton appeared.
Mikasa and Armin sat in its stomach.
"What is this?" - She looked around.
"Eren..." - Armin was shaking.
The brunette ran from the skull down.
"Are you guys alright?!" - He asked.
"Eren!" - Mikasa yelled, attempted to hug him, but stopped half way. "What is this?"
"I don't know myself. "
Eren paused, seemed like remembering something.
"My dad...he gave me this key and injected me with a medicine... Could it be..." - He said.
"Your dad? So your dad has secrets about titan abilities that mankind doesn't know?" - Mikasa asked.
"Probably. Fuck this old man! Knowing such important secrets yet kept it for himself! Fuck, fuck!"
"So...if I remember correct, this key is for your basement?"
"Yeah..."
"If we reach your basement, there's a chance to wipe out the titans?"
"I think so. I'll head back!"
"With what? Your home is Titan's base now. I'll come with you."
"No! You don't have to. You don't need to risk your life for me! I'm not your brother or fami-"
He stopped. She stared at him for a second, then turned back to Armin.
"You've been quiet. Any plans? We only have few seconds before the canon is ready again." - She asked.
"I do...but..."
"Then do it." - She placed her hand on his. "I trust you."
"We trust you." - Eren added.
"What if I screw up, then we are all going to die!" - The blond boy shivered.
"No matter what happen, we're still together. That's good enough." - She gently smiled.
"If you didn't call Hannes that day, I would have died. Have faith in yourself." - Eren said.
Armin finally, had the courage. His friends' trust gave him the courage.
"I'll do it. I'll convince them to use your power for humanity good." - The blonde said.
"That's a good plan." - Eren said.
Then Armin walked out, did a salute and talked about his plan.
While inside, Eren was sitting next to Mikasa.
"Hey Mikasa."
"Huh?"
"Sorry about earlier… I didn't mean to remind you about your past…"
"It's OK. I had moved on."
"OK… another question then."
"What? Just ask."
"Why risked your life to save me?"
"I didn't. I only did it because of my mission. Your power is still a mystery."
"You didn't act like it was only a duty."
"There's...Armin. I don't want him to die because of you." - She quickly denied.
"I'll pretend to believe that." - He smiled.
The couple held their breath looking at Armin.
As Mikasa guessed, Pixis arrived, seemed interested in Armin's plan and agreed.
Mikasa sighed in relief.
The plan was announced to proceed right away.
OK then, have a nice week you all ~
