possession || eremika/jeankasa (completed)

realization

the sunlight peaked through the sheer curtains into mikasa's room. after waking up, she laid in silence for minutes before turning onto her side and reaching for her phone.

> three new text messages <

jeanie: i have to tell you something.
jeanie: please respond whenever you see this, mika. it's about eren.

armin: mikasa call or text me when you see this
  3:31 am - delivered

she widened her eyes and immediately called armin. she exhaled as the line rung.

"mika?" the blonde boy asked. "what took you so long to respond?"

"i went to sleep early last night, i wasn't awake when you and jean texted. what's going on? it seemed urgent."

"are you and eren okay now?"

she gulped. "no, we're not."

"he slept with annie that night, after the party. i tried taking him home but he ended up going with her instead. yesterday, i talked to her, she said they had sex and he took off in the morning before she woke up. when she called and asked him why, he said he had to go and brushed her off completely," he responded. "she came to his house and they went on a date last night. when i told jean, he freaked out and said he thought you and eren were fixing things. he wanted to kill eren. i assume eren didn't tell you all of this?"

mikasa closed her eyes tightly. her intuition was right— and her heart hurt.

"no, he didn't tell me that. he didn't tell me anything, actually. he just kicked me out. i guess i understand why now," she sighed.

"are you okay, mikasa?"

she blinked. "i'm just trying to figure out what i'm feeling right now. i'm confused."

"do you want us to come over? none of us work today, we can watch movies. i'll order us a pizza, too."

armin was always supportive of mikasa. 

"us?" she asked.

"jean and i, if that's okay with you."

"i didn't think jean would want to see me right now."

"he still cares for you, silly."

she smiled faintly. "yeah, you guys can come over. i'll see you soon, okay?"

"see you soon, mika."

she hung up the phone, sat it beside her and stared at the ceiling.

i need to shower, she thought to herself.

by the time she showered and slipped on comfortable clothes, a tank top and sweatpants, she heard a knock on her door.

as she opened it, she saw jean and armim standing awkwardly in front of her. she motioned them inside and to her room. the three made small talk as they watched a movie together.

there was slight tension between jean and mikasa, but she did her best to ignore it. it was a fresh wound.

"hey," jean interrupted. "i'm going to go to the bathroom." armin nodded at him as he left the room.

"so," the blonde boy began, "how are you feeling?"

she shrugged. "weird. a little awkward, too. i feel like jean doesn't really want to talk to me anymore."
