Notes:Eren would be the biggest dork with Mikasa when it came to this kind of stuff and no one can tell me otherwise and so ends another prompt week for my cute OTP. I had fun making them all happy and adorable and I hope you guys did too ^^ I have some requests and one shots in mind to work on next, along with the next chapter of my ongoing fic cause I literally do nothing almost the whole day in training at work except write fanfiction. I can't tell you how much they have paid me so far to write sit and write Eren/Mikasa fics lmao.

May 10th -Confession

Mikasa looked over the vast area of land in front of them the merchants gave her directions to. It seemed to be decent land, not that she knew that much about land or buying land. Regardless, it was far enough out of the way from the closest village and she wanted a place out of the way of people and their eyes. The town was a good way away from the walls, but still close enough to return should they need to and to visit Armin until he could move with them as well.

"The land seems to be pretty nice, a good amount to work with." Mikasa glanced over to Eren standing next to her. He had his hands shoved in his pockets, his shoulders slumped, and eyes right on the ground. He had been acting weird ever since they left the inn this morning, and she couldn't understand what was going on with him. They had spent months traveling with Armin and seeing the world to the best that they could and it was Eren who told her he was done, that he wanted to have a home again. Now he was acting like he wanted to be nowhere near this place, even though they picked this specific town a head of time.

"I was thinking we could build a house over there by the forest so firewood would be quick and easy to get, and for shade in the summer," she said, hoping maybe some plans would get his attention.

"Okay."

So that didn't work very well; he didn't even look up at her.

"Maybe a barn in the back for some horses, and other animals depending on what kind of things we want to farm or grow."

"Yeah."

"And there's a wide area over there where you can herd cattle in your titan form."

"Uh-huh."

"Eren, what is wrong." She crossed her arms on her chest, her eyes narrowing over at him. He still wasn't saying anything or looking at her. Mikasa had no idea if he even heard her. "I thought you wanted this. If you want to travel again that's fine, I don't care."

This was his idea, he wanted to stop travelling. She really wouldn't care if he changed his mind at the last minute and wanted to go travel; it was him not even talking to her that drove her insane. She was watching him, but he wouldn't even glance up and Mikasa could feel her irritation spiking. "Well?"

"I don't wanna travel," he murmured, finally saying something.

"Then what is the issue?"

Eren finally looked over at her, and she saw the rent tint on his face. He looked so flushed and flustered that she couldn't help but wonder if he wasn't feeling well; it would explain his behavior.

Mikasa reached over to press her hand against his cheek. "Are you feeling sick?"

"No," he said. "I feel fine."

She dropped her hand back to her side; so much for that theory. "Well, do you not like this area then?"

"No, it's fine."

"Eren."

"It is fine," he halfheartedly gestured towards the ground. "Nice dirt."

Mikasa sighed; this was clearly not happening today. "Let's just go back to the inn, okay."

She turned to head back the route they had walked up and she felt the slump in her shoulders. She waited a very long time to have a home, a real home, with Eren, and now that it was so close, he didn't even seem interested. If he didn't want to go back to travel, then it was clear this just wasn't what he wanted, at least not like she wanted it. Mikasa tried to ignore the tears pricking at the corners of her eyes as she walked away from him. She was so sure, after everything they had been through, the absolute horrible loss of war and the absolute bliss of seeing so much of the world they never thought they would, that he'd be ready to have a home with her.

She probably would've walked all the way back down to the town if Eren hadn't reached out to grab her shoulder. Mikasa turned back to him; she tried to push aside the hurt she knew was on her face but the way his face softened, she knew she didn't do that great of a job. He didn't seem angry, he didn't even seem upset but there was something bothering him, she saw it in his eyes.

"No, no, don't go." He looked worried now, nervous almost.

Mikasa was with him almost every day since they were nine years old, but she had no idea what was going through his head right now. "Eren, if you don't want to do this its fine. We can go back and stay with Armin again its fine, just tell me."

He shook his head. "No, I don't wanna go back, I wanna to stay here."

"Then what is the problem?"

Eren hesitated, his hand moving down to her arm. "I just…" He looked down at the ground. "I just…"

"Yes?" she tried to prompt him; it wasn't like him to have so much trouble telling her something.

"I just want to be with you, you know?" His face was turning red again, and his eyes refused to meet hers.

"I know, that's why we're doing this to be together."

"No, not like that." He looked up at her still looking flustered. "Well, no! I mean, yes, like that that's cause yeah I want that but that isn't what I meant when I said that. I was only saying that-"

Mikasa reached up to press a hand to his face, his cheeks hot. "Eren, just tell me what you're trying to say."

He leaned his head against her hand, those eyes she loved so much meeting hers. "We've always been together, you know?"

She couldn't keep a smile off her face. "Yeah, I know."

"I wouldn't have it any other way."

"Me either." She rubbed her thumb over his cheek while his hand moved to grab hers.

"I want to marry you."

Mikasa felt heat rise in her own cheeks as she stared at him. Of course all the things she was expecting Eren to say that wasn't it. "You…you want to marry me?" Now she was the one feeling flustered, her heart pounding in her chest; her hand dropped from his face to his shoulder in her haze.

"Does that surprise you?" he mumbled, his face still flushed. "It's not like we haven't been together long enough."

"No! No, it doesn't, I mean…" she paused for a moment, watching his face. Mikasa swallowed the lump in her throat, hoping her voice came out. "Are you asking me to marry you?"

"Yes." His voice was slightly bashful but she didn't care.

"Yes," she breathed, her heart in her throat.

"Yes?"

"Yes."

It only took a moment for her to be in his arms, her arms reaching up around her neck, and her lips on his. Mikasa felt her feet leave the ground when Eren wrapped his arms around her waist. She placed her forehead on his when she broke away. Mikasa was trying to make her eyes stop tearing up, to keep them from falling down her cheeks, but this, him, was all she ever wanted. His dream was fulfilled, and how he was giving her hers.

"Let's get the land," Eren said, pressing his lips against hers again as he put her back down. "And build a house.

"With a guest room for Armin." She rested her head against his shoulder.

Eren snorted. "Yeah, I'd never hear the end of it if we didn't." He had a smile on his lips when he looked down at her, one hand reaching up to brush away the tears off her cheek she didn't even know fell. "I'm sorry it took so long to give you what you always wanted, what you always deserved."

She shook her head; that was ridiculous. "I always had the home I wanted with you."
