A few days had passed, and they have been quite eventful at high school. Eren and Mikasa walked to school every morning with Armin, and they always ate lunch together.

Mikasa had to be in her club every day right after lunch, while Eren had his club only an hour after. Armin's was during late morning, right before lunch.

Since high school began, Mikasa and Armin were getting top grades, while Eren's were often below average.

Sasha has been caught about ten more times eating snacks during class, and Connie miserably failed classes. He was even worse than Eren.

Eren, Mikasa and Armin arrived at school that morning, on time. "Geez, I'll never get the hang of this!", Eren complained, as they stood at their lockers.

"Really? After five days, you're still not used to this?", asked Armin frowning.

"He stays up real late playing video games", Mikasa simply said. "It can't be helped, Mikasa! By the time I get my homework done, I only got an hour of game time! An hour's not near enough!", Eren whined.

"You should be using that hour to sleep", Mikasa pointed out.

"Give me a break, Mikasa! Don't you have any idea how important that game is to me?!", Eren asked.

"It's just pixels on a screen, Eren", Mikasa said back. "What?!", Eren gawked at her, as if horrified she could think such a thing.

"She's got a point", Armin smiled nervously.

"Seriously? That's how productive you are, Jaeger?", Jean spoke up then, his locker was close by. Eren blinked, frowning.

"What's your problem?", he asked, annoyed.

"I'm just saying, you're in high school, not grade school", Jean stated. Eren glared, clenching his fists.

"Eren, reel it in", Mikasa whispered, but Eren ignored her.

"Like you're any better than me!", Eren growled. "What was that, you little brat?", Jean growled.

"Give me a break, you're my age!", Eren yelled back, as the two glared at each other. Some students backed up, along with Armin.

"Eren!", Mikasa hissed, as she took his hand then.

"Knock it off", she growled. Eren glanced at her, as she gave him a pleading, but firm look, gripping his hand.

Eren sighed, as he backed down then.

Jean scoffed. "Seriously?! You let your sister fight your battles for you?", he asked. Eren suddenly glared.

"You smart mouthed, bastard!", Eren went to swing a punch at Jean, but suddenly he felt his body be lifted up.

Mikasa lifted him up onto her shoulder, not even breaking a sweat as she began carrying him out. "MIKASA! HEY! Put me down! Didn't you hear what that bastard said?!", Eren complained.

Mikasa shot Jean a glare, as she continued to carry Eren out.

"What the hell was that...", Jean said.

"Jean, you need to understand...Eren and Mikasa aren't brother and sister", Armin said softly. "HUH?!", Jean starred wide eyed at Armin.

"They live together, but they're not brother and sister. At all. In fact, Mikasa's been madly in love with Eren since we were all 10 years old", Armin gave him the run down.

"WHAT?! You're telling me that Mikasa loves that spoiled little weasel?! You're telling me HE'S my competition?!", Jean yelled, mortified.

"Competition?", Armin titled his head. "Uhh...nothing, never mind!", Jean quickly said, turning red.

As Eren and Mikasa walked down the hall, Eren continued to mutter complaints. "Mikasa, you should have let me set that smartass in his place", he grumbled.

"It wasn't worth a fight, Eren", Mikasa told him.

Just then, Annie stepped out of the library, seeing them.

She approached them. "Um...Eren...", she started. She was blushing slightly. "Yeah, what is it, Annie?", Eren asked.

"Would you um...mind having lunch with me?", Annie suddenly asked. Mikasa instantly shot Annie a death glare, a demon aura surrounding her.

"Oh...well um...", Eren started. "Or...are you having it with your sister again...?", asked Annie. Mikasa's glare increased, she actually began growling.

"Mikasa's not my sister, Annie. And...well, yes. Sorry...", Eren replied.

"Oh...I see...um...that's all right", Annie said, although she glared at Mikasa. Mikasa clenched her fists, not looking away.

"Later", Eren waved, as he and Mikasa walked passed Annie. Annie glared, as she watched them go. Mikasa then clung to Eren's arm tightly.

"OW! Mikasa, easy! You're gonna break my arm!", Eren shouted, she always had a strong grip.

"You weren't considering eating lunch with that blonde, were you Eren?", Mikasa asked, glaring.

"N-No, ma'am!", Eren replied nervously, sweat dropping.

Mikasa's glare left then, she loosened her grip but didn't let go of his arm. Her expression changed to worry, as she held a piece of her scarf.

"Sorry...", she muttered, sheepish. "Don't apologize, Mikasa", Eren assured her, his arm numb.

"I just...don't want to lose you", Mikasa confessed. "You won't, Mikasa...I promise", Eren smiled. Mikasa gave a small smile, nodding.

The two continued down the hall. Annie continued to watch them. She gritted her teeth, glaring.

During class, Annie watched Eren and Mikasa intensely. She then looked over at her friends. "What's the deal with Jaeger's creepy sister?", she whispered.

"Well...alot of people are now saying they aren't siblings", her friend whispered back.

"Then what the hell is their relationship?", Annie asked, irritated.

"It's kinda vague, but basically Mikasa's parents died when she was little, so Eren's parents took her in", her friend answered.

"So then they adopted her", Annie concluded. "Um well...that's what everyone thinks but...they don't really act like brother and sister", her friend admitted.

Annie scoffed. "Doesn't change the fact they technically are", Annie sneered. "So...what are you gonna do?", her friend asked.

"It's simple. If Jaeger doesn't accept my feelings at the end of the day, I'll make sure both he, and that clingy girl suffer", Annie replied.

"Annie, maybe it's not worth it...", her friend muttered. Annie glared. "I get what I want. If things go south, then I'll make sure the entire school thinks they are an incest couple", Annie growled.

Eren scratched his head nervously, struggling on his school work. Mikasa did hers effortlessly, while Armin focused on his.

The class seemed to last forever, but soon it finally ended. Armin had already went to his club, while Eren and Mikasa went down to their lockers.

"We should meet Armin for lunch in the courtyard", Mikasa said, as Eren opened his locker.

He blinked, seeing a pink envelope inside. "What's this?", he asked, taking it out.

Mikasa froze, seeing it. "Is...is this a love letter?", Eren asked, as he opened it. Mikasa said nothing, watching him.

Eren read the letter aloud. "Eren, I think about you every day. I love you...please meet me on the roof at the end of the day. Annie"

"Why on earth would Annie send me a love letter?", Eren wondered. Mikasa clenched her fists tightly, trembling.

"You're...are you going to go see her?", she asked.

"Well...I don't want to hurt her feelings...", Eren started, he froze then, nervous. The look Mikasa was giving him...it was like she was crushed.

She starred at him, her eyes hurt. "M-Mikasa...", Eren stuttered, worriedly.

"I...I see...", Mikasa looked away then. "Hey...wait...", Eren began. He reached out to touch her. Mikasa froze, her heart sunk.

"Excuse me!", she ran off then. Her heart ached...it hurt too much to be near Eren right now.

"Mikasa!", Eren called, worriedly. She had darted down the hall.

Mikasa ran into the girls restroom, and clutched one of the sinks. She trembled, tears appearing in her eyes.

'Of course...what was I thinking? Eren and I have known each other since we were little kids. I was a fool for thinking he'd still feel that way...it was just a childhood crush to him...', her thoughts traveled.

'But...it wasn't to me. I...still love him. So much...', Mikasa held a piece of her scarf, as she trembled.

Mikasa didn't show up for lunch.

"Eren, just let her have some space for now. She's obviously real upset", Armin said. Eren had spent half of lunch trying to find her.

"I just...don't understand why she got so upset, Armin", Eren confessed, as he sat down in the grass with Armin.

Armin starred at Eren, in total shock. "Seriously?!", he asked. Eren blinked. "What is it?", he asked.

"Eren, Mikasa's had a crush on you since childhood!", Armin reminded him.

"I know that! But...I didn't think she still felt the same way after all these years", Eren admitted then. Armin blinked, listening.

"I figured...since we've known each other so long, Mikasa saw me as a brother. I didn't want to say anything, since...I didn't want to make things weird between us", Eren explained.

Armin facepalmed.

"What am I gonna do with you two!? Mikasa clearly thinks the same about you! Eren, she loves you! She's IN love with you! The girl's so love sick its insane. But she worries you see her as a sister now", Armin explained.

Eren looked down, collecting his thoughts, not touching his lunch.

How could he be so blind? So stupid? Ever since they were little kids, Eren and Mikasa never felt like siblings. They were always in love.

What was once a childhood crush, had grown with them. Into something more.

"I need to go talk to her. Now", Eren stood up. He hurried inside the school to look for her. After a while, he finally found her on the roof.

Mikasa was sitting on the bench, holding her red scarf close.

Eren walked over to her slowly. "Mikasa...", he said. Mikasa blinked, looking up at him.

"I'm so sorry...I'm a total idiot...", Eren walked up to her, and knelt down in front of her as she stayed sitting.

Mikasa's eyes grew wide, as she felt some color reach her cheeks. Her heart even skipped a beat.

"Mikasa...how could I have been so blind...all this time...you...", he began. Mikasa looked down softly.

"Ever since...we met as little kids. Ever since...you came to my rescue when my parents were killed...when you attacked that man to protect me. When you...wrapped this scarf around me...and took my hand...", Mikasa gripped her scarf tightly.

"Ever since then...I loved you. I loved you...so very much. As we got older, my feelings just grew deeper. Eren, I love you! I love you with all my heart...!", Mikasa confessed then, tears in her eyes.

Eren smiled, blushing slightly.

"Mikasa...", he took her hands. Mikasa's heart skipped a beat, as she starred at him.

"I love you too...more than anything. Just like you...the older I got, the deeper my feelings grew. I remember being so terrified that night, hearing those gunshots...I was scared to death you were...", Eren trembled slightly.

"Mikasa...I love you. Will you...be my girlfriend...no..my soul mate?", Eren asked then. Mikasa's eyes grew wide, as relief filled them.

"Eren...yes!", Mikasa cried, as she threw her arms around him then. Eren stood up with her, and held her close.

He lifted her up off her feet, as they embraced. He then gently gazed into her gorgeous blue eyes. He set her back on her feet, as Mikasa gazed back into his.

Eren gently caressed her cheek, and stroking her jet black hair.

Mikasa kept her arms wrapped around his neck, blushing. Their lips pressed up against each other's then.

They both closed their eyes, as they shared a tender, sweet kiss.

Their kiss deepened, becoming more passionate. "Mmmmm...Eren...", Mikasa whispered, as they continued to kiss.

Eren held her close, such relief filled both of them. With their feelings out, they suddenly both felt so free.

"Eren...", Mikasa gazed into his eyes, as they gently broke the kiss, still in a close embrace. "You're so beautiful...", Eren mused, stroking her hair.

Suddenly, they heard the doors open, and Annie stood there, glaring. Mikasa glared back, but Eren stood in front of her.

"Annie, I'm sorry, but I love Mikasa", he said firmly. "I see...so then its true", Annie sneered. "What?", Eren glared.

"That you're in a relationship with your own sister", Annie said. Eren glared. "How many times do we have to fucking tell you?! We're NOT siblings!", Eren growled.

"Annie, just get over yourself", Mikasa added coldly.

"Oh I know that, and you two know that. But gossip can spread quickly...you may not be siblings, but I'll make sure the entire school thinks you are", Annie warned.

"What the hell do you even have against us, Annie?", Eren asked, glaring.

Annie didn't answer, glaring sharply. "I'd be careful next time you're kissing in public", she warned. She then turned on her heel, and left.

"Don't worry about her, Mikasa", Eren assured.

"Her threat wasn't empty, Eren...", Mikasa pointed out worriedly. "If anyone opens their mouth, they're gonna meet my fist", Eren growled.

He wrapped his arm around Mikasa's shoulders protectively.

"Seriously?!", Armin asked later that day. Eren and Mikasa had told him everything. They were at the lockers, it was the end of the day.

"Basically, yea", Eren answered. He and Mikasa held hands. "I'm so happy for you two...but I'm worried about what Annie might do...", Armin admitted.

"Whatever Annie throws at us, we'll just ignore. It's not worth it", Mikasa replied simply.

"Let's head home", Eren said. They caught a glimpse of some stares from other students, but ignored it. Annie was already spreading the rumor.

Eren and Mikasa held hands as they walked home. Armin was with them.
