Chapter 3
Too bad
It's funny isn't it. After the attack on Wall Maria, I was so sure that it's the end. How far were they planning to push mankind? Pain, Humility, Helplessness, these are the only things I feel no, my childhood, my future, my life… all gone. How hard are we supposed to train, how long can we keep fighting back. How long are we to stay mere livestock for those bastards? I look at my fellow comrades every day, training their ass of and for what? To be eaten just like everyone else? I guess I'm the only one bothered by the fact that humanities efforts are fruitless. Yet, I joined the ranks. Perhaps fear got the best of me. I didn't want to be left alone after all. I never expected to make more friends, I had those two. But, who would have known, that I would find someone who made me feel… full. It's funny, isn't it? Who would have guessed an Angel would descend to save me from this Hell.
"M.. My what?" I stammered. I heard her. I was just hoping my ears had deceived me
"Your virginity, Armin" she repeated, unmoved by the outrageousness of the request
"Um… I-i- I don't really, under- understand what… what you mean by that" I stuttered, I couldn't speak properly, which was expected.
"I'll make it simple for you then. I'll teach you my technique, in return, you have to meet me at the mess hall at night" she restated.
I studied her face. It seemed adamant. She said each word without the slightest of hesitation. Was she crazy?! No way was I going to let her do… well… THAT, to me! I barley know the girl! Her gaze was unmoved; she waited, waited for me to reply. I was at a loss of words. What should I say? I can't deny her, she'll kill me! But I can't accept either, I've gotten a taste of what she's like in these past two days, and I do NOT like it. Then again, somehow, I can't seem to avoid her. She's just so… yeah. Damn it, concentrate man. Alright, here goes.
"Um, I'm not so sure we should take things so quickly Annie" I said sheepishly, preparing myself for the blow she was going to deliver
But she didn't. Instead
"Things? What things, Armin?" she said innocently.
"The.. the things, between us?" I answered, a bit surprised.
"Armin. This is simply a deal. There are no things between us" she said calmly.
Oh.
Eren's POV
"M..Mik.. JEEZ LET GO ALREADY!" I yelped, it must have been a good two minutes.
I gasped hard for air; she probably thinks everyone has the same amount of stamina as her. But still, she tasted nice. What? I had just kissed a girl! , Or more like she kissed me, either way, that was a certainly a new experience. Her taste still lingered, I smacked my lips slightly before looking up to her. I was shocked that her expression remained unchanged
"Eren. I'm sorry. Because of me you got in trouble, but I'll help with the cleaning" she said guilt fully.
"Mikasa… What the hell was that!" I exclaimed.
She started blushing, hard. She moved her scarf upward to cover her face, and looked away
"I mean… Why did you do that all of a sudden" I said in an apologetic tone. I already blew it twice, I'm not going to hurt her again damn it.
"Eren. How long have we known each other?" She asked moving closer.
"Um… ever since that day I guess" I responded. What was this about?
"Exactly. Eren, when you… when your family took me in when I had nowhere else to go I… I grew close to them
I could sense the sadness in her tone. Why was she bringing this up, it's hard enough as it is.
"Your parents gave me a home, food to eat, and a bed to sleep on. But most of all they gave me…" she said, I couldn't quite hear that last part
"They gave me the opportunity to stay with you. With the person, who saved my life" she said, completing her sentence
I never knew she felt that way. It's not my fault really, who can tell what's going on in that mind of hers when she wears that blank expression all the time.
"And, growing up with you, I… I've grown closer to you. But it looks like you haven't realized that" she said, scooting closer.
"Eren. You go doing all these things, putting your life in danger, didn't you ever stop to think that maybe someone is worried about you" she said, taking my hand. I felt my heart beat increase
"I don't want to lose you Eren. Not now, not ever." She said, moving my hand up to her cheek.
"Just… don't go." She said
Mikasa. I'm sorry. I guess at this point apologizing was useless. I had been so blinded by rage, only wanting to avenge my mom. I never realized what I would do after. I was not ready to lose Mikasa. I realize now, all those times she tried making me aware of her feelings. I feel so stupid honestly, but now I know. I wasn't about ready to let her go. Ever
She had lowered her head onto my shoulder; I could feel her soft breathing. I felt her warmth, her hair, her very existence made me feel that much happier. I had to make things right, I wasn't going to let her emotions go to waste
"Why didn't you say so" I said, knocking her on the head
She rose up to look at me. Her onyx eyes looked confused and hopeful
"I'm kidding. Don't take it so seriously." I said, smiling
She gave me a long hard stare before finally saying
"We should get to class" she said, seemingly pleased with my reply.
We got up and started towards the exit. She tried squeezing her hand into mine, I just tightened my grip. I wasn't going to let anyone know. She shot me a look, but I just smiled and walked on ahead. Sure, it was cruel to play with her after all this time, but in reality I was too embarrassed to be doing all those girly things. I'd think she didn't want to either but then again, she is a girl. I scanned the ground for Armin, he was nowhere in sight. I saw Annie thought, walking alone towards the exit. I thought about saying "hi" but remembered Mikasa was right behind me. I liked Annie, I didn't want her dead. I slowed down a bit when we reached the halls, matching my speed with Mikasa's. She looked glad, I assume. Her face was unchanged, even after all that. We had almost reached the classroom when we stopped in our tracks. Jean had stepped in front of me. I looked up to his face, wondering what he is up to
"Oy, Eren, Did you skip training?" I asked, rather said. I didn't sense any emotion in his voice
"I was sparring with Mikasa, on the back side" I replied, becoming suspicious of his motive
He glanced at Mikasa, and then back at me
"You're going to be late, let's go" he said, slightly pushing me into the class
What was that about, well I'll have to put that thought on hold. It's time for another wondrous lesson in 3D maneuver gear.
Me and Mikasa sat in the front row, saving a space for Armin. Where was he? I saw him at the ground, but didn't see him leave. Did he talk to Annie? I hope not. That guy is unpredictable. My thought train broke as Jean came and sat beside Mikasa
"Mind if I sit here?" he asked politely
"That's Armin's spot" I replied, still unaware of what he was up to
"I don't see him around, do you?" he asked, he seemed to be mocking my intelligence.
"That's why Mikasa was saving it for him, right Mikasa?" I said, tugging at her shoulder
"Hm" she hummed in agreement
"Well, then I'll save it for him till he gets back" he said slyly.
Damn it. Was this guy looking for a pounding? I wouldn't be so mad normally, but he was sitting right beside her. What was this bastard up to? Mikasa and I shared a look of confusion, but turned our attention to the doorway. The sensei had just walked in. He walked slowly towards the bored, eying me angrily. All I could do was gulp hard and chuckle slightly.
"What's so funny, Yaeger?" He said sternly
"No- nothing sir. Apologies" I said frantically. I didn't want him to bring up the incident in the ground, we got lucky not getting seen by anyone. Well, other than Connie and Sasha I guess.
"Hmm" he huffed, and continued walking to the board.
I heard a chuckling sound from beside me. It was Jean
"What's so funny, huh" I whispered
"What's it to you?" her replied
"You lookin' to go?" I said, managing to keep my voice down
"You lookin' to go" he said, imitating me
I growled. I couldn't do anything in class. I felt helpless, which only added to my anger. I focused my attention to the bored, I had to calm down. Damn it Armin, now would be a good time for you to show up.
Armin…
I started to feel a little worried, we haven't talked in a while. I felt a soft nudge on my head. It was Mikasa, she had accidently banged her head into mine. I looked at her confused, it seems she had been attempting to scoot closer to me without attracting attention, but scooted a little too hard.
"You okay?" I asked
"Fine" she replied
Class was a bore, as always. I sat and waited for time to fly by. I was sitting pretty close to Mikasa, which made time go by quicker. Maybe I should do this more often. After the final class I got up and stretched my legs. My stomach groaned from the lack of food. I patted Mikasa on the head; she got up and followed me out the door. I looked back to see that Jean was walking behind us, albeit keeping his distance. He blended in with Sasha and Connie, but I could tell he was following us. Up ahead i saw a sight which brought grin to my face.
Armin's POV
"OY, ARMIN" I heard from the hall. It was Eren, and Mikasa walking towards me.
I didn't want to reply. I didn't feel like talking to them, to anyone. I simply walked past them, aiming to go to my room. I didn't care that I wasn't polite. I didn't care anymore. As I walked past Eren I felt a snag on my shirt
"Armin, where are you going, it's lunch time" he said, seemingly eager
I didn't reply. I just snagged my shirt back, and kept on walking. Sorry Eren, but this is something I can't share with you, or anyone. He gave me a confused look and opened his mouth to talk. I walked away before he got the chance to. This was going to be a lonely walk. I saw a lot of students walking past me, leaving me unnoticed. Good, I didn't care anyways. Finally, the boy's dorm. Slowly, I opened the door and locked my eyes on my bed. There was no one here, which was good. I didn't want anyone to see me. Dinner lasts around half an hour or so, which gives me just enough time to fall asleep. I made my way to my bed, and caressed the mattress. It felt cold; I hadn't slept in it for a while. I traced my fingers on the surface, looking for my pillow. It was dark, but that didn't matter. Finding it, I threw it at the head of my bed and fell on my back. Taking a deep sigh, I let the heartache settle in.
Why. That was the only word which roamed my mind. I had no one to blame but myself. I took a stroll down the memoires of the past couple of days, trying to figure out at which exact point I made the worst mistake of my life. Goddamn it. I knew from day one she was a psycho, but still I ventured further. I was an idiot to think she actually liked me. No. That was never the case. She didn't like me, she OWNED me. It makes sense, the way she would order me around. Punish me when I didn't listen. She played me, for what seems like forever. And I let her. I was so blind, enjoying being used. I was stupid. It was a bloody mistake. Why'd you do it Annie? Couldn't you have let me live that lie. It was enough. Knowing that there may be a slight chance that you felt one tenth of what I felt for you, it was enough. You couldn't even give me that. I had to stop it, before it got taken too far. I embarrassed her, stomping of like that. People stared. I didn't care. That's payback.
She hurt me, without even realizing it. That's the sad part. I have to show up every day, as if everything was fine. It'll never be fine. No one will know either, except me. I felt so helpless. I shuffled around in my bed, it was getting hot. I didn't bother to take my shoes of, the sweaty socks became irritating. My shirt was itching. This was really ticking me of. I got up of off the bed and burst through the door. I needed to go somewhere alone, somewhere where no one could see me. I paced through the hallways, nervously looking around for the exit. I heard voices up ahead, dinner time must have been over. I dodged the crowd of people, turning left somewhere. After I was sure the coast was clear, I looked to where I had stumbled upon. It was a dark corridor, an unused wing maybe? I didn't bother checking. Until I heard something
"Armin" said a voice, coming from deep within the shadows
I froze. What the hell. That didn't sound like Annie. Why Annie would be calling me. I squinted, trying to figure out who was calling me. I forgot about my troubles for now, and focused on the wing. I could barely make out a figure, it stood still though. What the hell?
"Armiin, come here" said the voice again, my guess was it was a boy
"Who's there" I replied with caution
"It's me, Jean" he replied
Jeez, seriously. I was getting scared for nothing. I let down my guard, feeling a bit better. This wing was definitely unused; I could feel a cool breeze go up my sleeves. Was it open from the other side?
"Jean, what are you doing in there?" I asked, what was he up to
No response.
"Jean, come out already" I said, feeling a little anxious now. In all honesty it didn't really sound like him.
Silence.
I started backing of a bit, the figure, motionless still.
"Jean, your creeping me out" I said, almost exiting the wing.
"Come here, Armin" said the voice, finally.
No. It can't be. I'm imaging things. The figure finally stepped out of the darkness, revealing the main source of my pain
"You ruined it" she said, looking upset
I stood there, dumbfounded. Is she serious? I stared hard at her. She seemed unmoved
"Well, are you just gonna stand there?" she asked, walking towards me
This bitch, I stood there, with my mouth open, unable to wrap my mind around what the hell she was doing. Does she feel? Anything? Doesn't she remember what she had said just a couple of hours ago? Oh, of course not. I'm the only one who feels, she's just a psycho and it looked like she wasn't done playing.
"Armin, c'mon already" she said, grabbing my arm. I must have been so dazed I didn't notice her come so close.
I stood there; I didn't feel her this time. Most times I would have been ecstatic, having her come this close, not this time though. She managed to pull me a bit but stopped after realizing I wasn't going to move
"You want me to carry you?" she said sarcastically
I couldn't say anything, I couldn't move either. Even though she was there, I felt alone. Why should I pay even one second of attention to her.
"Armin!" she exclaimed.
I snapped out of my daze. The surroundings looked so different. Everything had gone dark, save for the moonlight peeking through the overhead window. But up ahead, the wing was pitch black. I looked down; the only thing I could see was her face, and her eyes. Her blue, sullen eyes
"Annie…" I said, I couldn't complete my sentence, my voice started to crack.
"Armin, what's wrong?" she asked clueless.
Wow. Would it be so bad if I had slapped her right now? I feared the consequences, but I needed to quench my thirst. I lifted my arm, but thought it would have been better if I dealt with this less violently.
"What do you want" I said indifferently. I tried controlling my voice, focusing my mind on something else. That way I could talk
"Hey c'mon, I'm no stranger." She said, smirking
"I said what you want" I repeated. I wasn't planning on falling prey to her damn tricks again.
"Don't be like that, c'mon I want to show you something" she said, cocking her head to the right.
Her pony fell too, which granted was kind of cute. Damn it, no. Walk away Armin. It's not worth it. She pulled once more on my shirt, expecting me to come. I didn't want to go; I didn't want to face her right now. I didn't know what I would say. Without knowing, I unintentionally started walking with her. She had grabbed my hand, taking me to God knows where.
"What are you doing Annie" I asked, not really caring what she'd say
"Guess" she replied
I grew more and more pissed by the moment, but I couldn't bring myself to stop walking. The hall way was a long path of nothingness, the moonlight illuminated some of the wooden planks, other than that it was empty. After what seemed like miles we reached our destination. It was a doorway, at the end of the hall. I could see candlelight peeking through. I couldn't tell where we were. I wanted to ask, but I didn't want her to think I was okay. I didn't want to give her the slightest hint of my approval. Even if I wasn't as hurt as before, it's just not right.
"After you" she said, waving her hand towards the door
I gave her a look, trying to somehow convey to her that these things don't amuse me anymore. She seemed to be getting more excited. What was she up too? Curiosity got the best of me and I walked inside, and was left utterly confused. It was a bedroom. Well, a dorm room, rows upon rows of empty beds. It looked as if it hadn't been used in years. Every candle sat on the dressers, unlit, except one. Every bed lacked a mattress and a pillow, except one. I began to understand what she had planned. I heard the door creak open behind me, then a clicking sound. She had locked us in.
"What the hell is this Annie?" I asked
"An unused dorm room, I found it a while ago" she replied, seeming pleased with her discovery
"I meant, what the hell are we doing here?" I restated in a more stern voice.
"Well, this place IS more comfortable compared to the mess hall, don't ya' think" she said moving closer.
Are you kidding me? I had guessed her intention a while ago but was hoping it was something else. I looked at her with disgust.
"C'mon, what's that look for now?" she said, acting confused
"What's it for? Well where do I start" I said, preparing to let loose
'FIRST OF AL-" I was cut short right in the beginning of my furious speech.
It happened so fast. She literally jumped up and attacked my lips. My eyes bulged, what the hell. Did she just kiss me? She still is. I tried pushing her of; instead she pushed me up against the wall. I can't deny the fact that I was enjoying this, and the pain was slowly starting to fade away. I tried to grip onto reason, but failed. She broke and said
"You think I don't care about you" said gasping, then met in stuck her tongue down my throat. Was she serious? I couldn't move, I stood there like a brick wall. She grabbed my collar, pulling my face down to meet hers.
"You think this was a game, Armin?" she said after releasing her lips from mine.
I looked at her, studying her face, it didn't look like she was lying. Then again, I had been blind for so long who's to say I'm wasn't blind now. But even a lie was enough. The mere illusion that she cared was enough. I started to take in what was going on. We reached the far end of the room, stumbling back and forth. It didn't look like she wanted to let go anytime soon. We reached where the candle had been lit. She must have pushed me all the way over
"You're an asshole if you think that" she said, then pushed me on the wall.
Damn. I didn't really notice her before, she wasn't wearing her uniform. I took a good look at her from head to toe. She had been wearing a black tank top, along with a baggy pair of slacks, probably what she trained in. Not a big fan of fashion, I suppose. What caught my attention was… her chest. Usually the uniform bundles you up pretty good, so this was the first time I had noticed. I drooled at the sight. Her breasts were absolutely, amazingly, perfect. I started to take more interest now. I grabbed her by the hips and pulled her in for another kiss. She didn't seem to mind. I caressed her body gently, tickling her lightly. I could feel her waist, thanks to all that grueling training, she had an epic body. I ran my fingers around her curves, getting a good feel of each and every inch. I never thought I would be this confident. I put the kiss to a halt and swung her around. She seemed surprised at my swift movement. I pinned her against the wall, placing my hands firmly on her shoulders, and staring deep into her. I was again met with a sight I never would grow tired of. Her blue eyes, filled with excitement. The burning red color in her cheeks, her warm breathe on my face. Her lips were now moist, a few strands of saliva dripped down her lower lip. I slowly moved closer to her, aiming for her neck.
"Armin what are yo-" she said before releasing a long, pleasured groan
I pecked her neck, kissing her softly. I kept moving downwards, reaching her collar bones. She wrapped her arms around my back and slowly whispered my name between the huffs of breathes. I kissed her neck a couple of times before moving lower. Grabbing the straps of her tank top, I slid them of gently, putting the middle of the shirt in between my teeth, I pulled down to reveal something every man dreamed of.
"Arm… Armin slow slowly" she said, being unable to talk properly
I adhered to her request and continued back to the middle of her neck. I snaked my other hand up her shirt, caressing her body. I fingers traced around the many dips and curves she had, which made me want more. But, I had to do this slowly, whatever the hell I was doing that is. I reached my hand further up her shirt and grabbed her left breast. As soon as I did she let out a loud 'ah' sound, giving my confidence a boost, whatever I was doing seemed to be working. I rammed her up against the wall again, and ripped her right strap of. Her shirt hung downwards, revealing her bosom to its fullest. I felt blood drip down my nose as I saw them.
"What's the matter? Never seen boobs before" she asked playfully
Yes. But I didn't bother replying. I was too indulged in my task. I released my grip on her breast and wrapped my arms around her waist, lifting her up. She was surprisingly light. Her chest was now at face level, at this point I was acting on impulse. I rammed my face in between them, getting a good feel. She didn't seem to enjoy that
"What the hell are you doing?" she asked shocked at what I had just done
That was stupid, but I couldn't help myself. Being this close to her chest, feeling her warmth, her heartbeat, her soft flesh drove me mad. How much longer could I last? I removed my face and ogled her. She blushed hard, was she getting embarrassed? I guess everyone has their limits
"Don't stare at them like that…" she said, punting my head softly.
I did as she said, and began to do what I thought was right. I moved my face closer to her right nipple, slowly taking it into my mouth. At that point I'm surprised no one heard us because she practically yelled out a loud 'oh' sound. I didn't know what it was, but if its working I'm gonna keep doing it. I sucked lightly on her teat, and caressed her left one with my finger and thumb. I didn't want to ignore her after all. She grabbed my hair, and pulled hard while gasping. It hurt, but I didn't care. I could feel my legs going numb, realizing I had been lifting her for a good while now. I lifted her up, and dropped her hard on the bed. Luckily she didn't hit her head on anything, that would have been a mood killer. After a while of sucking her breast, I moved downwards to her belly. I licked around and I between all of her curves. All she could do was lay back and moan. She wrapped her legs around my back, and tightened her grip, pulling me in closer. After what seemed like forever, she started to get bored. I literally had no experience with this, and was acting out on her signals.
"Armin, I'm waiting" she said seductively.
She licked her lips and motioned for me to come up to her. I climbed up to her face and kissed her. She enveloped my whole body into herself, wrapping her hands around my back and her legs around my waist. I felt so close to her. Her aroma filled up my nose, I could feel her panting through her nose, I could feel her heart beat against my own, her belly slowly rise and fall pushing me, her soft arms compelling me to come even closer. I was hers, no doubt. And I didn't care. As long as she was mine
EREN'S POV
"That was weird; Armin never misses out on food" I said
"He seemed upset…" Mikasa responded
"I wonder what about" I replied, pulling her closer.
We had to find a table fast. Somewhere where there were people. I just needed two vacant spots; I didn't want Jean to come and "Save Armin's seat" again. I scanned the room, most places were packed. I turned to ask Mikasa, who wasn't there
"Eren" she called out, sitting beside Sasha.
Connie was sitting in front of her. There was room for one more; I looked around to see if Jean was there or not. No sign of him. Perfect. I walked over feeling relieved and sat beside Connie. He and Sasha seemed to be muffling their laughter
"What's so funny?" I asked, glaring at Sasha
"Nothing" she said, trying to mask her laughter
This was probably about before. Seriously, what are these guys going to do out there?
Their laughter ceased after a while and they started conversing about food, well, Sasha kept talking and Connie just nodded in agreement. Mikasa and I shared a look of embarrassment, sitting with these two was… mortifying. We had the same meals again, this time Mikasa had a tray with her. She lowered her scarf with two fingers and started nibbling on the baked potato. I sat their drooling; she was just so damn cute.
"What's wrong?" she asked, focusing on me now
"What, um nothing" I said with a jolt. Damn it.
She looked at me for a while, and then her eyes widened, as if she remembered something
"Eren, meet me in class afterwards" she said quickly
What? What the hell. Was she serious? I was shocked. She seemed unmoved by her statement.
"What?" I asked, hoping she could rephrase that
"This is important, I want to help you" she said
What the hell was so important? My mind tried ignoring the obvious answer, but I couldn't help myself. It had just been a day, and the closest I'd gotten was a kiss! There was no way I was prepared to take it further. I blushed hard; turns out Sasha and Connie were eavesdropping and almost burst out in laughter. I punched Connie in the arm, which Sasha took as a warning
"What?!" Connie said
"Shut up, that's what!" I replied
He looked at me with an angry face, and then his mouth curved into a lecherous smile. I could tell him and I were thinking the same thing
"Don't" I warned
"Don't what?" he asked acting innocent
I didn't let him play me; I simply huffed and turned to continue onto my meal, looking around to pass the time My mind was trying to decipher what Mikasa had meant. I glanced at Sasha; does she ever realize that there are bits of food stuck beside her mouth? Surprisingly, I couldn't find Jean. Why would he give up so quickly? Most of the tables were filled with the common groups; no one was sitting alone, and still no Jean in sight. Did I scare him of? Probably. I felt proud for a while before I felt a kick, and quickly look in front of me in front of me. It was Mikasa, pouting a bit
"Eren, dinner times almost up" she said, her expression unchanged
I gulped
"Yeah, I guess it- it is hehe" I said chuckling nervously. I scratched my head a bit before saying
"Maybe we shouldn't. Um, you know…" I said trailing of
She looked confused but said
"We have to, no excuses this time. I promise I'll help" she said calmly.
Did I hear that right? It can't be. Oh man, I mean it's not like I'm opposed or anything. All right relax man, you can do this. I can't do this; I was going to make a complete ass of myself.
"You seem so worried, it's not like its your first time right?" she asked looking at me concern fully.
Do I look like that kind of guy, Mikasa? I grunted in response and drank my milk
"Besides, you should prepare yourself since you have to do it for a week" she said
I sprayed my milk all over the table at that sentence, and gagged. Connie jumped back a bit.
"Jeez, watch it man" he said handing me a table cloth
All eyes were on me at this point, I blushed hard, if it wasn't bad enough already. Mikasa looked surprised. Dinner went slower than usual, because of the fear of what was to come. I kept rocking back and forth nervously, trying to plot in my mind. Should I ask someone? No, it's too embarrassing, but, it would be more embarrassing to make an ass of myself in class. I looked around the room, trying to assume who would have been good at this. I glanced at Reiner and Berolt, the older guys might have experience. But I didn't have the guts to ask them. I wasn't going to ask a girl, but maybe Ymir could give me a few pointers. She looked like the type. Unfortunately time flew by faster than I could keep up. Connie winked at me before getting up and leaving. My heart raced, my hands were sweaty, I felt like I was going to faint. Mikasa grabbed me by the shoulders and looked me in the eyes
"I promised I'd help" she said, looking serious
I looked at her, hoping she was kidding. Hoping she'd laugh at any moment. No, that moment didn't come. We left after the crowd was gone, getting up we walked to the exit, the hallway was completely empty. We started walking towards class, she leaned closer to me with each step. I looked at her, her eyes still in front. After a while of walking she stopped me in my tracks and said
"I have to get a couple of things, meet me in the classroom" she said, before running of
I stood still, my eyes fixed on nothingness. Slowly, she disappeared somewhere up ahead and the hall darkened, the maintenance worker blew out the candles. He looked at me, expecting me to move
"It's late son, you should get to bed" he said
I nodded, but stood still. He stared at me and shook his head
"Okay then" he said leaving a candle lit where I was standing. Wake up, Eren,C'mon please wake up. Nope. Not a dream. This was happening, here and now. I had to face it like a man. I had disappointed her to many times; I'm not doing it again. I started walking towards the class, the light behind me slowly faded as I blended with the darkness. I walked through the empty hallway, only my racing heart kept me company. Right now I would kinda be thankful if a Titan appeared and ate me, but no. No titan, no giant rock falling on top of me out of nowhere. No excuses. I purposely walked slowly, taking my sweet time. I was scared, but at the same time excited as well. It's not like I'm being held up against my will, plus I did like Mikasa. I just never thought of her in… THAT sense. I was never curious about her, even though she lived with me. I remember when she first came to my house. She was afraid, of everyone. She wouldn't talk to my mom or my dad. I remember when I saw her, sitting in the bed looking out our window. There was no way she could have slept that night. I remember when I got up and walked over to her bed, and she gave me a look of pure heartache. I never want to see that again, I have to be there for her. Finally, I made it to the class room. The door was creaking, yellow light flickered from within. I took a deep breath and entered
What I saw made me want to slap myself I million times for having even thought of that. It was Mikasa, standing with a broom in her hand
