To the Moon and Back (A modern Eremika fanfic)

Chapter 15: Christmas

Mikasa's POV:

*Time skip: A couple of days before Christmas*

It was finally winter break. Before school ended, the chorus went caroling around the school, and Eren and I sang "Baby It's Called Outside," and we fucking killed it. I was back at the mall with my mom, doing some Christmas shopping. I still haven't found a gift for Eren yet and it was stressing the fuck out. We decided to check the jewelry store to see if there was a perfect gift for him.

Mom: "Oooo sweetie! What about this one," pointing at a bracelet with a key attached to it, "He has the key to your heart hahaha."

Mikasa: "Aboutsulty not. Come on Mom, I need to find a gift for him."

Mom: "I can't help you with this one. You'll know when you see it."

I rolled my eyes because I knew she was right, but why haven't I seen it yet! Eren probably already has the perfect gift for me.

Eren's POV:

Eren: "Dude! What am I supose to give Mikasa!?!"

Armin: "I don't know man. I just got her some tea and I'm assuming you don't want to give her something like that."

Eren: "Of course not! She's my best friend, so I need a good gift."

Armin: "Hey man... I thought I was your best friend," jokingly pouting his lips.

Eren: "You're basically my brother Armin. Hey, what did you get Annie?"

Armin: "A vinyl record player because she saw the one in our room and loved it."

Eren: "Can't do that with Mikasa. She never expressed any liking to any of my stuff."

Armin: "Well I mean I can go with you to the mall la-"

Eren: "I'M SO STUPID," interrupting him, "YOU'RE THE BEST!"

I then left to get a card and wrapping paper.

Mikasa's POV:

It's the day before Christmas eve and I still have yet found a gift for Eren. Anytime we hanged out, I tried to decypher what we might like, but everything was either lame or cheesy. Armin wasn't very helpful either. I went over to Sasha's since we always hang out the day before eve before our two families did their own things. I was on her bed, browsing my phone for ideas while she was eating ramen."

Sasha: "Any ideas?" she had a full mouth, so I couldn't understand her.

Mikasa: "Huh?"

Sasha: "*Gulp* sorry. I asked, any ideas?"

Mikasa: "No I'm stumped. Nothing is good enough."

Sasha: "I've never seen stressing so much for a gift for me, and I'm your best friend!"

Mikasa: "That's because you're easy to get gifts for, it's always food-related. Eren is so difficult. Besides music, he hasn't really shown interest in anything else."

Sasha: "Okayyyyy... What about music does he like?"

Mikasa: "Well singing of course, but I don't want to get him a song or equipment. I need something special."

Sasha: "What if you get him something no one else can."

Mikasa: "Come again?"

Sasha: "Doesn't Marco's parents have a human studio?"
