a month had passed since that conversation with levi and hange in the mess hall. as time went on, your crush on the oriental girl grew. you could say without a doubt that you were in love with her.
you spent more time with mikasa over the past month and, because of that, you had a small hope for the two of you. mikasa had seemed to be more open to you than she used to be. it was almost as if she enjoyed your company and that made you extremely happy.
. . .
you were walking through the courtyard with levi as he explained to you the plan for a mission you would soon be going on. honestly, you weren't listening as much. mikasa had told you earlier that day that she would be training in the courtyard so you were looking for her.
as you turned a corner you froze. right in front of you were mikasa and eren kissing. it was something that you shouldn't have seen and you were wishing that you could have missed the action but it was too late.
"y/n?" you could hear levi's voice but it was faint as if he was miles away from you. you could feel your heart drop to your stomach, the world around you slipping away into blackness with eren and mikasa highlighted in front of you. all hope you had for your feelings being returned shattered and all you wanted to do was go back to your dorm to curl into a ball to cry.
you felt a hand on your shoulder, leading you away from the two but you couldn't get the image out of your head. you could hear levi telling you he'll make you tea but the words wouldn't register in your mind. there was only one thought in your head at that moment.
you were right. getting hurt was inevitable in this situation.
