Nothing is better than sleeping during the weekend. Being able to catch up on sleep you haven't had time for due to getting up early for school. When you get home, homework that piles up on you that keep you up until 11 p.m. or if you aren't lucky, 1 a.m. or later. Nothing is better than sleeping on the weekend. Sometimes Eren wishes he could stay like this forever, but he had to get up. It was 10 a.m., so he had enough sleep for today.

Eren got out of bed and grabbed his running shoes, shorts, and shirt. He gets himself dress and before he left his room, he looked back at his bed. "Soon we'll be together once again." And he left out his room.

"Morning Eren. Are you heading somewhere?" His mother asked making breakfast.

"I'm just going out for a jog. I'll be back." Eren grabbing a water bottle from the fridge.

"Shouldn't you eat breakfast first, don't want to run on an empty stomach."

"You make a good point, but I kinda don't want to run on a full stomach either."

"At least grab a granola bar before you leave."

"Will do." Grabbed a bar from a cabinet and heads out the door. "Later mom." Already outside before he could hear his mother respond.

Eren took in the fresh October air. The leaves are beginning to fall to the ground and people already wearing sweaters. He looks at the street ahead of him and then he began to jog. Eren started off slow, but began to go faster each block. Passing by people, cars driving by, buildings. Eren saw a park nearby and knew that should be a great place to practice his running. When he entered the park, he had to admit that it was huge.

"Perfect." Eren said with a smirk on his face and began to run, enjoying the wind being blown on his face. If this was summer, he wouldn't be running at the pace he was running. Lucky for him, fall was a bit more forgiving with the weather. There was intersection in the middle of the park, but there didn't seem to anyone at the intersection so Eren kept running at full speed. Just as soon as he hits the corner. He crashed into someone. Eren landed on his ass, dropping his water and bar.

"Ouch." He slowly got up rubbing his head and ass. Then he realized that he did crash into someone, he looked down, and his eyes widen at the person he crashed into. It was Mikasa.

"Oh crap. I'm sorry Mikasa. I didn't know anyone was coming at the intersection, so I just ran full speed without bothering looking. My bad." Eren reached out his hand to Mikasa, and she took his hand getting up with his help.

"It's fine, I didn't watch where I was going either. It's not your fault."

"Totally was."

"No it wasn't."

"Was."

"Wasn't"

"Was."

They both knew this wasn't going anywhere if they kept blaming each other, so Mikasa decided on a better solution.

"Okay, how about it was both of our faults?"

"I mean…"

"Too late, it was both our faults."

Eren chuckled. Eren noticed Mikasa was wearing tight black jogging pants, running shoes, and a white sports bra.

"So you're jogging her too huh?"

Mikasa nods.

"I noticed that you joined the cross-country team."

"How did you know?"

"Because when I signed up, I saw your name. Wasn't that hard to find considering the list only had six people on it."

"You joined the cross country too?"

"Yeah. Had no other choice since there wasn't much that caught my interest. Why did you join?"

"I mean there was girls' volleyball, but that filled up quickly. So cross country was my next option."

"I never knew you were into volleyball?"

"There a lot of things you don't know about me knight of darkness." Mikasa said with smirk.

"Still going on knight of darkness thing huh?" Eren said rubbing the back of his neck.

"Yes. I told Armin that I conjured up a spell that will protect him from Jean. It seems that it worked. By the way thank you." Mikasa looks down

"For?" Eren looked at Mikasa lost at her thank you.

"For saving Armin from Jean. Not a lot of people stand up for him. So it means a lot for him and me what you did back there. So thank you." Mikasa looks back up with a smile on her face. Eren was absolutely lost in her smile and began to blush.

"No p-problem. I mean someone gotta stand up to that horse face. Right?" Eren looks the around other than Mikasa. She nods at his statement.

"Well I should get back to running. Maybe I'll see you around Mikasa." Eren began to walk away but was stopped when Mikasa tapped on his shoulder. He turns and looks at her.

"Since we are here and jogging. How about we… Maybe... Jog together knight of darkness?"

Eren thought about it and decided why the hell not. "Sure and just call me Eren." Eren said with a smile.

"Eren." Mikasa muttered silently.

"Now shall we?" Eren said already running. Mikasa followed his lead and was later side by side with him. They were running around the park for about an hour, and running around was beginning to wear Eren out. It didn't seem to bother Mikasa, she could keep going for about an hour more. But she stopped when he sat down at a beach drinking his half of his water bottle at a fast pace.

"Aren't you tired?" Eren asked patting little by little regaining his breath after drinking his water.

"A little, but I can keep going." Mikasa says with a nonchalant voice.

Eren was left a bit speechless. Mikasa is the first person he met that isn't tired from all the running they did. He'll admit to himself that he is a bit jealous, but more power to her.

Mikasa sat next to him and looked at the skies. The clouds were blocking the sun, so it looked like it was going to rain. There was barely people coming into the park, so that was a plus for her. Mikasa takes a deep breath from her nose and breaths out from her mouth. She loves these types of days where she could come to the park and not a lot of people are here to ruin a quiet moment she was having. If only she brought her headphones to listen to her music and a book to read, then this would make this day more perfect.

"So how long have you known Armin?" Eren asked, which caught Mikasa off guard.

"Huh? Sorry, I zoned out for a bit there." Mikasa began to blush from embarrassment.

Eren chuckled. "It's fine. I said how long did you know Armin?"

"I've known him since the fifth grade. I wasn't very talkative, so people avoided me. Armin kept trying conversations with me, but I didn't budge. He didn't give up, so kept talking to me until I finally did budge and we've been best friends since then. He's a sweet guy and is the smartest person I've ever known."

"Sounds like an awesome guy to be around."

"He is."

"I should start talking to him more. Maybe during advisory and lunch."

"I am sure he'll like that."

They looked at each other, smiled, and look away from one another. They fell silently, it was a bit awkward, until Eren decided to speak up.

"Well I think we should keep going. What do you think?" Eren gets up stretches his arms while looking down at Mikasa. She nods and gets up. Before they could start, an idea popped in Eren's head.

"Hey Mikasa, why not we make it interesting?"

"How so?"

"A race. The first person to reach the exit of the park has to buy ice cream."

Mikasa looks at him and thought about his little bet. She closes her eyes and smiles.

"Alright you're on."

"Great. Now on the count of three."

"One." They both ready their stance.

"Two." Both looked at the exit with a clear goal in mind. To win.

"Three." The both ran at full speed. Eren began to take the lead. He thought he had this in the bag. It was in that in the moment Eren knew, he fucked up by challenging Mikasa to a race. Mikasa began to run past him with unbelievable speed, leaving him eating her dust. Eren jaw dropped as he saw Mikasa already at the exit. She looks at her defeated opponent smiling.

"Well it looks like you're buying me ice cream."

"Eren was still speechless at first, but he recovered form his defeat. "Looks like it. Come on I know a place." He began to walk towards an ice parlor next to the titan's burgers. As they entered, they noticed not a lot of people were in the place. Good for them since they didn't have to wait in line. They walked up to the register and was greeted by the casher.

"Hello there, what would you like?"

"I would like a chocolate ice cream cone." Eren told the casher and the casher nodded and looks at Mikasa.

"I would have strawberry ice cream cone."

Casher nodded, Eren paid, they got their ice cream after a minute, walked out the parlor enjoy the taste of their ice cream.

"So… I assume... you like… strawberry flavor?" Eren asked with each lick he takes.

Mikasa smiles. "I frecking love strawberries. Can't get enough of them."

Eren laughs a bit as they continue to walk and lick their ice cream.

"Well I should get going. I told my parent I get back home around 12 and it's already 2:15." Mikasa says already finish with her cone.

"Yeah I should get going too." Still eating the cone with a bit of chocolate around his lips.

"Well I'll see you around and Eren."

"Yes?"

"You got chocolate a bit on your face." Mikasa giggles and left.

"Wait what?" Eren touched his cheek and lips, looks at his hand, and sees chocolate." God damn it!"
