Stay With Me [YmirxHistoria]

Chapter 23

Ymirs Pov:

"How long have we been in here?" Historia asks inpatiently.

"I don't know, probably a few hours." I answer and take her hand to calm her down.

Then suddenly the door opens and Annie walks in. Historia and I quickly get up and rush towards her.

"Is everything okay?" I ask worried and she sighs.

"Yeah, what happened out there?" Historia asks while taking my hand.

"It's over." She tells us, which makes our eyes widen.

"Is someone hurt?" I ask and she looks down.

"No.." Historia breathes out as she tightens the grib on my hand.

"Who got hurt?" I ask and Annie takes a deep breath before looking up.

"Eren he..Mikasa had to end it." She says and our eyes widen.

"W-What do you mean?" I ask worried and she sighs deeply.

"Mikasa had..she had to kill him." Annie says, which makes me freeze.

This can't be true, right?

Mikasa, Armin..oh God I can't imagine how they're feeling..

"Did his plan work?" I ask, which makes her frown.

"You got your memory back too?" She asks and I shrug.

"I guess I just did. Damn..I can't believe he sacrificed himself.." I reply and then sit down on a chair.

"Ymir, I'm so sorry. I know you two have been close. Closer as most of us." Historia says as she wraps her arms around me from behind.

"He was one of my best bros.." I mumble and she tightens her grib on me.

"I need to see the others. They're probably worried too about us too.." I say before standing up.

"You sure you are okay?" Annie asks but I just nod.

"Yeah, I need to see Mikasa and Armin." I answer before walking outside.

When I walk outside it's so bright I need to look down. Then suddenly I feel a hand in mine and when I look over my shoulder I find Historia. She gives me a small smile and I return it before staring to walk back, where everything happened.

As soon as we see the others we rush over to them. "Thank God you're okay." I say as I hug Sasha tightly and she immediately hugs me back.

"Believe me, we're really glad too." She replies, making me hold into her even tighter.

We eventually pull away after a few minutes and then I find Mikasa standing alone.

"Excuse me." I say and Sasha nods.

I walk over to her and she looks up to me, so I give her a small reassuring smile. I move closer to her and wrap my arms around her from behind and hold her tightly. Right after that she starts to break into tears but I don't talk, I just hold her.

"I'm so sorry Mikasa." I tell her and can't help but start to cry too.

"Damn, I never thought I would cry for this idiot." I say and she chuckles a little at that.

"He really cared about you, you know?" She tells me and I look down with a small smile.

"Yeah, I know." I mumble with a small sigh.

"How are you feeling?" I asks softly and Mikasa takes a deep breath.

"I-I don't know what I'm feeling. I just feel numb, empty." She replies and then turns around to look at me.

"I-I killed.." She stutters, so I take her hand.

"I know, you don't need to talk about it. Talking about it will just hurt you more." I tell her and she hugs me tightly.

"Baby?" Mikasa pulls away from me and looks to Annie.

"C'mere." She says while spreading her arms and Mikasa walks into her arm.

"Thank you." Annie says to me and I give her a small nod.

"Can you maybe talk to Armin too? You really calmed Mika down and you might can help him too." She asks and I smile sofly.

"Of course." I tell her before walking over to Armin, who's sitting on the floor.

"Hey." I say as I sit down next to him but he doesn't look at me.

"I can't believe he's gone.." Armin murmurs, so I put my arm around him.

"Ne neither. I don't think we'll be about to actually believe that for a while but we have to live with it." I say and he lays his head against my shoulder.

"The last time we've actually talked we ended in a fight. The last thing I did was hit him." He puts his face in his hands and starts to cry.

"We both know he didn't mean what he said that day. He loves you and you love him, that'll never change." I say while gently dragging my fingers up and down his arm.

"I know you're hurt right now. You'll probably always be hurt about this. This kind of pain won't fade away that easily, but we'll have to learn to live with it." I continue and he looks back up to me.

"But the war is over, thanks to him. He saved us all. And I know he wouldn't want you to be sad, we're free now."

"And I know he's with us right now, watching over us."
