Eren was sitting with his group eating lunch when all of a sudden Mikasa stormed over.

“I swear to god, Armin, if I have to listen to Annie complain about anything one more time I’m going to explode.” She threw herself dramatically in the spot next to Eren. His face was still quite bruised, and he looked a little worse for wear. He kept getting weird glances from people, staring at his black eye and busted lip.

“Oh Mikasa, I don’t have the answer for this question. Oh Mikasa, I only got 10 questions right. Oh Mikasa, I have nothing to wear to my party. It’s driving me demented. I don’t know how I’ve put up with it for this long. And you know what now she’s mad at me because I wouldn’t let her use my assignment so she failed. It just frustrates me to no end!” Mikasa was talking loudly, her voice very high pitched compared to usual. Just then Levi walked up to the table. Every one seemed to stop talking when he nodded a hello.

“Eren. How are you, you good?”

“Yeah I’m fine, bit sore but it’s to be expected” Eren chuckled nervously.

“Yeah, listen the team was organizing a beginning of season party, and well you’re invited if you want to come, you can bring your friends, they’re welcome I suppose.”

“No, no way, you are not going, Eren.” Mikasa but in.

“Mikasa stop it!”

“I know what these parties are like I’m not letting you go so you can drink excessive amounts of alcohol and do drugs, there’s no way.”

“Look Mikasa, I can keep an eye on the brat if you want me to, or better you can come and keep an eye on him yourself, but it’s a party for him as well, you can’t stop him from going.”

“Levi, don’t manipulate me into letting him go, I know all your mind games.” 

“I don’t play mind games Mikasa” Levi said looking at Mikasa, with his general bored expression.

“Whatever, he won’t be there. You can leave.” She said crossing her arms and glaring at Levi.

“Well, that’s my queue to go, I’ll see you at the party Friday night at Erwin’s place, I’ll text you the address.” Levi said placing his hand on Eren’s shoulder. He then turned and walked away swiftly.

“Mikasa, what the hell was that?” Eren demanded.

“You’re not going to that party.”

“Stop telling me what to do!” Eren yelled.

“I will, when you stop making stupid decisions.” She said calmly.

“Will you stop that?”

“Stop what?”

“Pretending that you’re my big sister, because you’re not, I don’t need you to tell me what I can and can’t do. You haven’t been there the majority of my life you can’t just step in now and rule it. Okay? So back off.” Eren said, ignoring the group of opened mouth faces that were sitting at the table, and stormed off.

He and Mikasa hadn’t talked much over the past few days. Eren was avoiding her. It was Friday afternoon after school and Eren lay on his bed, angrily staring at the ceiling. Levi had texted him the address yesterday afternoon, he hadn’t replied, too scared to let him know that Mikasa wouldn’t let him leave the house. He heard a soft knock at the door and when he didn’t answer, it opened and Mikasa walked in.

“Hey.” She said. Eren didn’t reply. “Look I’m sorry, I know I’m over protective, it’s only because I care, okay?”

“You wouldn’t understand.”
