'Oh my God Eren do you know how humiliated I am?! That man was drenched Eren, absolutely drenched!'

I looked down to my feet , shuffling them slightly , ' Mika you know it was an accident'

She shook her head and ran her sleek fingers through her hair , 'You're so stupid Eren' She looked over to me and sighed angrily ' Eren keep your head up or you'll mess everything up again'.

I brought my line of sight up so that I could see the path before me , Mikasa had a tendency to get angry easily , which is completely fine , but sometimes she forgets that humans make mistakes , and that it's completely natural, 'I'm sorry Mika'

After a few seconds of her deafening silence I looked over to her , she definitely heard me , she was just blocking me out. A pain shot through my spine and I winced , grabbing it and rubbing it with my index finger, 'Where are we going anyway?'

She maintained her gaze on the sleek black flooring , ' Top floor , Eren'

The rest of the walk continued just like that , with her staring straight ahead , and me trying to beg for her forgiveness , although she never gave in, but I don't know what I expected , she is an Ackerman after all. When we reached the elevator we both hurriedly stepped in. It wasn't crowded , the opposite actually. For such a busy building I was surprised to see that we only had to share the elevator with an elderly man who was sat in a wheelchair. I smiled at the man and waved slightly , 'Hello there!'

He smiled back with the type of smile that warmed you , the type of smile that reminded me of when the kids at school would be mean , and my parents would pick me up and smile whilst explaining that I was perfect just the way I am, 'Well hello there young man!'

I grinned before sighing contently and resting my head on one of the silver coated walls. Mikasa could be a pain sometimes , but it only came from a place of frustration. She was nervous about her big interview , and I just added a whole new problem on top of that. I could never be mad at her. When I was little my parents adopted her into our family because my mum was having fertility problems. I wasn't a big fan of her at the start , she was too clingy , and she was always being motherly to me at school. But over the years we became inseparable , so when my parents - , she is all I have left.

I reached out my hand and wrapped it around hers smiling softly , 'Don't worry Mika , you'll do amazing'

She was still mad at me , so all I got in return was silence , but that didn't wasn't enough to make me ignore that she slightly squeezed her hand in return. 

When the elevator got to the top floor , we hastily jumped out,  after saying goodbye to the old man of course! The top floor was like nothing I had ever seen before , it was gorgeous! It was much more open than the lobby downstairs , and it was clean , of people and mess. The dark marble floors had a strip of beautifully black carpet running throughout the middle , and the walls were a light grey , decorated with a few paintings. In the middle of the room was a desk , and on that desk sat a woman. 

We approached the desk , and Mika stepped ahead , ' Hello my name is Mikasa Ackerman , I'm here for an interview with Mr Ackerman'

The woman grinned and stood up , extending her hand 'So you're the unfortunate soul that he wants to hire! Nice to meet you , I'm Hanji his personal receptionist' she looked over to me , 'Ooh who's this? He's such a cutie!'

I went to speak but Mikasa beat me to it , ' That's Eren , my brother'

I smiled and cocked my head to the side , humming slightly in agreement ' That's me alright'

She pushed her glasses up and smiled ,'Hm , well then Mikasa and Eren , allow me to take you to Mr Ackerman'

Mikasa and  Hanji walked ahead towards a set of double doors. I was also walking to said double doors but in the background , allowing Mikasa to probe Hanji about Mr Ackerman. I, in all honesty didn't see the fuss. Yes it payed well and yes it was a lovely workspace , but with his success he would surely be on top of a ridiculously difficult hierarchy , which he created himself. I looked up to see Hanji knocking on the doors , and Mikasa discretely wiping the sweat off her palms onto the back of her jacket.

The doors opened, 'Come in'

Hanji placed her hand on Mikasa's lower back and guided her into the room, before leaning over to someone , 'Sir she brought her brother , shall I tell him to wait outside?'

A grunt echoed throughout the room , ' No send him in, the brat looks like she is about to pass out because of her nerves , I don't want to be the one to fucking catch her'

She giggled , 'Okay Mr Ackerman~' , she turned to me and nodded to the doorway , 'Eren'

I piped up , 'Okay!' and hurried into the room to accompany my sister. This is going to go amazing! 

Saying that the room was massive was definitely an understatement, it was huge! There were massive windows lining the walls , and a humungous desk in the centre of the room. The room was beautiful and sleek , but it was empty and almost lonely. 

'Tch are you going to stand there all day, brat?'

My eyes widened as I swung my head around to apologise , ' Oh! I'm sorry your office is just so breathtaki-'

And there he stood , the hottest man I had ever seen in my life. I could practically hear my sister scolding me for gawking like an idiot , but his jaw was sharp , and his skin porcelain white and spotless . He was short , but well built. His eyes were my favourite thing , they were a beautiful mixture of grey and navy hidden underneath a cluster of eyelashes , and they were currently piercing into my skull , kind of like the man earlier..

I gasped , 'Oh my god , you're the man from earlier!' I looked down at his shirt then back at him , he had changed his shirt , but it was definitely him , 'I'm sorry about your shirt sir! Please don't hold this against my sister!'

His eyes held mine for a little while , before he smirked and sat down. 'And what if I was to do just that? What if I have already decided that I don't want her as an employee because of your actions?'

I bit my lip and looked down, he smirked , 'What would you do then brat?'

I curled my fists and looked back up , ' Then I would call you a self centred jerk!' , his eyes widened and I took a step closer , ' Me doing something wrong gives you no right to hold that against her! She did nothing!'

My hands were placed on his desk , and my head pushed towards his. The smell of his pine aftershave engulfed me and my grip softened slightly. The air got hotter and his gaze was making me dizzy, Eren! What are you doing?! You're going to get us kicked out! I looked up at him for a little too long and took a step back , 'Look please just interview her , she's good at what she does , please don't let me ruin this for her, she already wont speak to me!'

He sighed and brought his hand up to his neck to unbutton his shirt , before looking in my eyes , ' I wouldn't dream of it , sit down brat , and occupy yourself'

I smiled and nodded 'Okay!'
