Somebody To You (Mikasa x Female Reader)

Training Together

Only a few days had passed since you and Mikasa finally met again after all these years, but it seemed like an eternity in your perspective, as your routine has completely changed since the girl decided to be part of your life with even more frequency. This could be noticed in the fact that she is always going to the same place as you, keeping company in the most complicated or banal situations, staying by your side from second to second as if there is a line that pulls her back to you after a certain time separated.

It was noticeable how much she enjoyed being with you, maintaining that great closeness that made you feel goosebumps all over your body, not to mention how much she cared for your well-being. After what the two of you had talked about about your past, Mikasa found herself obliged to make up for the suffering you went through and turn it into just the remnants of who you were today, achieving the feat of cheering you up with minimal words.

You never felt that way before, it was like being a child again. Being on the side of someone who truly cared about you was simply an amazing and unbelievable experience, mainly because that person was precisely the girl considered perfect in the eyes of most recruits, given her unparalleled performance in tests recently done by the camp.

Speaking of which, Eren had managed to overcome the balance difficulties thanks to the teamwork between you, Mikasa and Armin, and the somewhat unexpected solution of you having suggested changing your belt with his, realizing that it was a defect in the buckle. Your inclusion among the three had been quite a change, they liked your presence regardless of what the others thought about you and your behavior, they were really able to make friends with you in a short time.

Now you had an extra motivation to keep pushing your best in the next tests, as was the case with the current one in which you found yourself together with so many other recruits in the middle of a dense, sunny forest. Your body was launched by the impulse made by the hooks of the three-dimensional apparatus, crossing the top of the trees in the blink of an eye and contemplating the immense landscape of nature in front of you, going back down and already continuing to swing among the many obstacles in the search by one of the training targets.

The main objective of this task was to simulate an attack against the sensitive area of ​​the titans, the nape. The rule was clear, whoever made the deepest cut would receive more points, that was the main assessment. You saw it as child's play, already seeing one of the targets ahead and holding your blades tightly, having already waited too long to use them for real.

"You are mine!" your swords slammed into the back surface of the test dummy's neck with precision, creating two extremely deep openings that narrowly missed the wooden frame of the entire neck.

A triumphant smile appeared on your lips, activating your device again and moving forward through the branches, dodging huge trunks along the way and creating a trail of destruction as you rotated your body like an uncontrolled whirlwind, the sound of metal cutting through and scraping leaving you with an immense satisfaction. It was the first time that you could use swords however you wanted, even more so for real.

As you continued to chase other training dolls wildly to shred, the camp instructor monitored your performance from afar, writing down on the clipboard the amount of points acquired based on the strength of your cuts. The other recruits were vying for targets, stealing from each other, even arguing sometimes because they were helping each other, a chaos not very noticeable due to the fact that they all parted too quickly to really start a mess.

From what you could see around you, no one was following you. That was great, the more points you could score individually, the better it would be. However, there were almost no other targets available for several and several meters that you traveled through the air, it was impossible to find another training dummy after practically all of them had been decimated by the others.
