ATTACK ON TITAN ➳ IMAGINES

admirer ; mikasa

unedited

pronouns ; she/her

no matter how much time passed you couldn't help but admire her whenever you got the chance to. at training you always watched as she flew through the air effortlessly, the way her hair ruffled in the wind. you loved to admire when she was in her own world as if lost in her own thoughts even if she showed no emotion on her face. from admiring her you had noticed small quirks of hers that you hadn't noticed at first.

the way her nose scrunches every time she stretches. the way her eyes droop when seeing someone she disliked. the way she would look out for her friends without them realising. the way she pulls her red scarf up when she feels embarrassed, hiding most her face in it. the way she twirls her hair in her finger when she's deep in thought. but mostly you noticed the way she holds back a smile at the sight of him. the way she stays by his side through everything.

you were now in the mess hall waiting for levi to bring your food for you. you had been in his squad for years and was the only one besides eren to survive after the female titan attack. because of that, you and levi had gotten closer. not that either of you would admit it. when she joined his squad with other recruits, you were instantly captivated,

"you like ackerman?" levi asked with clear disgust, bringing you out of your daydream. he slammed down the tray in front of you and sat to your right, hange sitting on the other side of you. "seriously? of all people you like her?"

"it's not like i can choose," you mumbled, reluctant to tear your eyes away from the oriental girl. your lips tugged upwards into a small smile when seeing mikasa's nose scrunch up cutely while stretching her arms. "don't worry i'm not going to do anything about it so your team won't fall apart. she's too in love with eren to realise anyway."

"if she rejects you, you still got me!" you laughed hange's comment off as if it was a joke and finally tore your eyes away from your crush. you looked down at the porridge, your mouth twisting into a scowl from disgust. sighing, you picked up the spoon and started to eat.

"i don't want you to prioritise her over missions," levi said, matching your scowl as he turned to mikasa. he could tell how hurt you were with mikasa's feelings to eren but he knew he couldn't do anything about that. like you said, you can't choose who you like.

"you know that isn't a problem." levi's scowl dropped when realising what you were talking about. he had forgotten how you and petra were close and you lost her during that mission by putting the mission in front of your feelings. he was about to say something when you cut him off. "besides i'm okay with admiring from afar."

"don't get hurt," was all levi said.

there were a lot of things you were unsure on but you were certain that avoiding getting hurt wasn't something you could guarantee.
