[small recap]

This sudden gesture caused you to tense, recognizing the feeling. You swatted her hand off, "Don't touch me." You mumbled, though your eyes were filled with horror and terror.

Mikasa didn't fail to notice this and scanned your face closely.

After you realized what you did, you quickly shook your head, making your face go back to it's once expressionless state.

"Sorry."

----------

Before anyone could utter another word, you slammed your laptop shut and stood up, pushing the office chair back with your body in the process. "I-I think I'll head out for some fresh air."

The trio all had the same mixed expression of shock and concern planted on their faces as they stared at you. "It's dark, and dangerous." Mikasa shook her head as she took a glimpse out the window.

"I'll be fine." You tried to step around her but she protested, stopping you from going anywhere.

"No, I'm sorry for touching you without consent, but come on." She objected, a scowl replacing her previously surprised look.

You let out a long sigh, relaxing your shoulders a bit, "It's fine. But I seriously just need time and air, so can I go?" You gave her a sad frown as she examined you with great suspicion.

She quickly glanced at Armin and Eren, who were still on the floor, and hesitantly nodded, letting you pass through.

You quick-walked over to the wooden entrance of the dorm and opened it, seeing Mikasa start to sit back down with the others before you shut the door.

You let out a shaky breath, heading down the stairs and out of your dormitory building. You continued your path down the deserted sidewalk, hearing nothing but the croaking of crickets.

"H=hey! Wait up!" Someone's familiar voice called from behind you. Their footsteps echoed in the silence, cousin you to turn on your heel.

Armin was running up to you, his hair flowing from side to side as he got closer. "Can I come with you..?" He panted as he finally caught up with you, putting his hands on his knees out of tiredness.

You stared at the blue eyed boy in front of you. "..Why?" You hesitantly asked him, raising a brow in suspicion.

"I- umm.." He scratched his chin, trying to quickly come up with a proper response.

You let out another extended sigh, tapping your foot on the cement. "Let me guess, Mikasa told you to follow me?"

Armin's jaw dropped slightly, not knowing what to say. "Y-yeah. She told me to make sure you're okay." He let out a strained laugh, smiling awkwardly at you.

You turned to face the other direction, starting to leave Armin behind. "Well, I'm fine. So you can go back to your friends." You scoffed, sliding your feet on the concrete.
