Eleventh Chapter : Love

[ six years ago ]

—This is the last part of the flashback.

"Do you like Eren?" Asked Mikasa, who wears a very serious face while staring at me. We agreed to meet each other earlier that's why we're here, in the woods.

It's been weeks since that incident happened too and we're fine now. The problem was, I realized something.

Something I shoudln't have.

I smiled at her. "Yes, Mikasa. I like him, how about you?" I boldy said, not caring about anyhting now.

I knew Eren wouldn't reciprocate my feelings that's why I just told that to Mikasa. Who cares now? The fact was slapping me so hard day by day.

Mikasa and Eren had been inseparable since they were kids.

She even had that red scarf which was from Eren. And me? Oh, I'm just beautiful and strong, I have no ace.

Mikasa stared at me for too long that it even felt like forever. I wonder what's in her mind right now? Is she pitiful of me? She shouldn't. Because I need no pity.

After a while, I heard her sigh as she turned her back away from me.

But before she walked away, she said something that almost shook my entire system.

"Good job, Asterhawk. He likes you too. You don't know how much it sucks to hear your name in every sentence he says."

That was what Mikasa told me as she walked away.

And I was left there, stunned of what I just heard. What the fuck?

Did she just . . .?

Tell me that Eren Jeager, Eren freaking Jaeger likes me too? Oh, Good Lord, how am I going to recover with this news?

***

"Y/n!" I swallowed when I heard his voice behind me. We were doing the training in the snow again after such a long time.

Gosh, I remembered what Mikasa told me yesterday. I couldn't even face him after that.

"Hey! You've been ignoring me since yesterday." He told me while panting heavily when he finally caught up with how fast I walk even if it's snowing.

I looked at him with a raised brow, "I ain't ignoring you. You're just imagining things." I told him fiercely.

He laughed at that.

"Did Mikasa already told you that I like you? Because if she did, she's wrong at that part..." I stopped.

So he doesn't like me, huh? That woman, who thought she was just making sto—

"...Because I love you." He blurted out.

I almost ran out of breath when he said that. What the freaking hell? Why is this man so bold? My eyes automatically glared at him.

"Stop pulling jokes, they aren't funny." I told him in a serious tone.

He laughed again.

But his next action shook my system. He fucking pulled me by the waist! Now, we were just inches apart! I can even feel his cold breath on my face. Where the hell did he got his strength, huh? Did all those training helped him? Tsk.

"Look at me, Y/N Asterhawk." He said in a dangerous tone.

Bitch.

My throat almost dried out when he spoke my name. Fuck, it sounded so good.

Slowly, I raised my head only to meet those two orbs. The fucking reason why I fell hard in the first place. It was all because of those orbs.

"Now, do I look like I'm lying?" He asked in his low voice.

I rolled my eyes. "Oh come on, just kiss me already—"

He kissed me on my lips.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck fuck, fuck! Eren fucking Jaeger just fucking kissed me on my fucking lips and I can't just fucking ruin this fucking moment with my short breaths. But fuck, I really can't breath properly.

This just really felt so surreal.

"Now, am I lying, Ms. Asterhawk?" His  right eyebrow was raised and trust me, it's oozing with so much confidence.

I gulped. He's just too good to be true. And he's just to handsome to be mine.

But well, I'm freaking beautiful too. God made me, not Satan.

"You're . . . telling the t–truth." I stammered. Because his orbs were really on another level, especially up close.

And I was wrong about what I told Mikasa too. I don't just like this man in front of me, I love him.

At first, I thought my admiration towards him would just falter for a few weeks but no, it didn't. Because it was just a simple affection.

It was an unending ride called love.

And that one snowy night, changed my perspective towards the evening and dark. Also, that night, was the night I owned him.

Eren Jaeger.
