To the Moon and Back (A modern Eremika fanfic)

Chapter 23: The One With Prom

Eren's POV:

*Time skip: Prom*

It was the night of Prom and everyone was getting ready at this point, including me. A few days ago, I took Mikasa out on a date around town which ended in me asking her out to prom at the Plateau. Thankfully she said yes and all I could do was smile and left her up.

I was in my room getting ready while Armin and Annie were talking in the living room. I was putting on the last two studs on my sleeves, putting on my jacket, and touching up my hair one last time. After I finished, I walked out and into the living room. Annie and Armin were matching of course. their main color was sky blue.

Armin: "Eren you look fantastic!"

Eren: "Thanks man."

Annie: "Mikasa is one lucky gal."

I blushed a bit and shook it off. We all grabbed our coats and made our way outside. We all took pictures in front of the house and got into the car to head for Mikasa. Once we arrived, I was the only one to get out. I looked back to see everyone giving me a thumbs up. I walked to the door and knocked. Mr. Ackerman was the one who answered.

Mr. Ackerman: "Oh Eren! You look great!"

Eren: "Thank you Mr. Ackerman."

Mr. Ackerman: "Of course Eren. Let me get Mikasa."

He then closed the door as I took a few steps back. After what felt like 5 minutes, I heard the door opened. I looked back to see her. Let me just see, it was like seeing the perfect sunset or sunrise. She had a very simple dress on, I believe it's called a petite style. It was white since we decided to wear white with maroon accents. She had the slightest make-up on, only to highlight her soft cheeks and pink lips. I was surprised but also happy to see that she had her scarf around her neck as her accent piece. I was just stunned by the beauty in front of me that I swear I was drooling a bit.

Mikasa: "You know, you're not helping your case haha."

I finally realized she was right in front of me as I wiped the drool from my mouth.

Eren: "S-Sorry. It's just that you look absolutely amazing."

Mikasa: "Haha thanks Eren. You look handsome... and very hot."

Eren: "Haha stop you're going to make me blush even more."

Mikasa: "Maybe I will, maybe I won't," teasing me, "Oh before I forget."

She then ran back inside and came out with two boxes."

Mikasa: "Our boutonniere and corsage."

She then placed the rose boutonniere onto my lapel and I returned the favor by slipping the corsage onto her wrist. 

Mikasa: "Ready?"

Eren: "Ready."

We both go into the car and headed to the venue. We spent the entire night having the time of our lives. We danced, ate, drank, and sang. We met up with friends, socialize with new ones, and even sang a few songs as a joke.

The night was sadly ending as it finally reached the couples' dance. Mikasa grabbed my hand and instead of pulling me onto the dance floor, she dragged us outside where her parents were waiting. We jumped into the car and headed off.

Eren: "Uhhh where we going? I assumed you'd want to do the couples' dance."

Mikasa: "Oh I do. Just not there sweetheart."

After a few more minutes, we reached a familiar spot. We got out of the car and waved bye to her parents. We started walking, carefully watching our step, as we reached the spot. I was in shock when I what Mikasa did. She set up an entire dance floor at the cove. It was a little platform, big enough for only two people, with speakers lining the corners. I looked at her puzzled as she gave me a big smile, dragging me over. She put her hands in my pocket, pulling out my phone. Just browsed it a bit till the speakers started playing a song.

She wrapped her hands around my neck as I wrapped my own around her waist. She instantly pulled me towards her as I did the same. Placing her head onto my chest and mine on her head. We started to turn and sway a bit, basking in the moonlight and wonderful music. Just like the first time I played piano for her. Just like the first time I sang for her. Just like the first time we sang together. It was just us and music. It was just so open with the only two people were me and Mikasa. I felt tears falling down my face. I couldn't help it. I was with the girl I love in the best setting possible. I was so happy with my life and for the first time, I was thankful that I lived. I felt Mikasa's head move up, I looked down and she was worried.

Mikasa: "Eren... you're crying."

Eren: "I'm happy Mikasa. I'm so happy Mikasa. Thank you so much."

She had her own tears starting the fall.

Mikasa: "Don't thank me Eren. All I wanted was to hear you sing and I got so much more. I should be the one thanking you."

Eren: "Well I'm just so thankful to have you in my life."

Mikasa: "And I am so thankful that you lived Eren."

She placed a kiss on my cheek as I gave her one on the lips. We danced till we couldn't dance anymore. We danced for so long that Mikasa ended up falling asleep on me. I put her on my back and reached for my phone to call her parents. Once we arrived back at her home, I carried her all the way to her room and once again laid her down and joined her in bed. The moment I did, she reached over for me as I instantly fell asleep in the company of my best friend, partner, savior, and lover, Mikasa Ackerman.

Mikasa's POV:

I was slightly conscious when Eren placed me onto his bed. I rolled over and placed myself onto his chest. Today will is possibly the best day of my life. It was just perfect from seeing Eren at my door to falling asleep while dancing. It was just me and Eren in our own little perfect world and I couldn't be any happier. Of course, I was looking forward to what the future has for us. We were still young, but all I could think about was having a life with Eren. I'd be so happy if he called me his wife and I'd be even happier if we had children that called me mom. I couldn't wait, but that's all I want with Eren. I want a life with the boy who didn't speak. The boy who didn't sing. The boy who didn't even look at me. I wanted a life with that boy, my best friend, partner, protector, and lover, Eren Jaeger.
