Confusion?

LET US OUT!

Chapter 5

<Armin POV>

'Mikasa' had just asked asked if we could let them out of the bathroom. Sasha locked the door and shouted that she wouldn't open it. I said," It's the best for both of you." 

~Eren POV~

I heard Armin shout. I sighed and rolled my eyes. I spoke softly. Soft enough that Armin and Sasha couldn't hear me but loud enough so Mikasa could hear me. I heard Sasha shout," Oh and Mikasa, don't look at Eren! After he said he hated you, I don't think he wants you to see him naked!" I heard them laugh. I grumbled," I hate those 2...." 

Mikasa looked at me with concern and asked," Eren, are you alright?" I smiled and nodded. I went to stand under the shower. Mikasa gasped and quickly came towards me. She said," Eren! You're getting yourself wet!" I laughed and said," Hey! That wouldn't be fair! If you get to stand in the warm water and I don't. Is your body used to hot water?" 

I blushed hearing what I just asked. She nodded her head," And don't worry, I was careful of how high to put water to." I shook my head," Don't worry. If you like hot water, then why don't why come join me! It'll be fun!" Mikasa turned a bright red and said," A-Alright. I'm coming, 1 sec." 

She walked to the door and shouted," Sasha, let me out please! I don't love Mikasa and I don't wanna be stuck in here with her! This is like torture! LET ME OUT!" I gasped. Armin said," Nope! I'm not letting you out!" Mikasa walked towards me and stood next to me. I had a sad look. I asked," Mikasa.....Why did you just say that? Is that what you truly believe?" 

Did Mikasa really believe that I hated her? She looked away," Noooooo, that's not what I believe." She looked at me and smiled. I griped her hands and pushed her against a wall. I loosened my grip but didn't let her go. I asked," I'm not hurting you, am I?" She shook her head and asked," But Eren, why are you doing this?" 

My face became serious. I tightened my grip a little but not enough to hurt her. I said," Mikasa, tell me. What do you believe? Do you really think I hate you?" She looked away. I got angry that she was avoiding my question. I tightened my grip harder and said," Mikasa! I'm not messing around! Be honest with me!" 

My tone was rougher and louder than before. I wanted an answer. Did Mikasa really think that I hated her? Mikasa was avoiding eye contact with me. The more the silence increased, the more she looked away from me. I was getting angry. I asked," MIKASA! ANSWER ME FOR DAMN SAKE!" When I shouted, Mikasa's closed her eyes. I heard Armin shout, with concern in his voice," Mikasa....are you okay? You're shouting?" 

I shouted back," Yeah, I'm fine. Can you hear what I'm saying?" Armin shouted no. I forced my concentration back to Mikasa. Her eyes were closed shut as if she was trying to avoid something. I moved my face closer to her. "FOR THE LAST TIME MIKASA, ANSWER ME!" Mikasa ignored my question. I was annoyed. I sighed and let her go. 

She slowly opened her eyes. I went to stand in the shower. Mikasa slowly walked towards me and said," Eren...." I closed my eyes and said," The reason you didn't answer my question is because my thoughts were correct. You DO think I hate you. Why wouldn't you? Everyone thinks that. Even with all the attempts I make, no one believes me. Honestly Mikasa, how do you tolerate me? You shouldn't stay by my side anymore. You're going to get sick of me. I'm rude and inconsiderate and thoughtless and-" 

I felt Mikasa grab my back. She sounded like she was crying. She turned me around and said," Eren, please don't say that! You're not like that! I don't think of you that way! To me, you're amazing, you're kind and no matter what anyone says, I will always stay by your side! I don't care if you hate me!" 

I felt bad. I held her and put my head on her shoulder. I said," I'm sorry. I shouldn't have held your wrist and shouted at you. I didn't scare you, did I? Who am I kidding, you're Mikasa Ackerman, you don't get scared." 

Mikasa pulled me back and smiled. I heard Sasha yell," Are you guys alright? I'm not hearing anything." I turned the shower off. I said," Yeah, can we be let out now?" I heard Sasha say," Ugh, alright, but only if you swear that tonight you'll spend the night with Eren." Armin opened the door. I saw Armin and Sasha leave and heard them lock the door. 

I asked," They really locked us in here, didn't they?" She nodded her head. I looked at Mikasa and laughed. Mikasa looked at herself and hit me in the arm," Hey! You're also wet, not just me! We should both go and dry ourselves." We went into the bathroom. I said," I'm so glad that I have a towel here." 

I took my towel and said," We should change, do you have an extra pair of pj's?" She nodded. We left the bathroom. She took her pj's out of her cupboard. She gave 1 to me. I said," You change first, I'll change after." After we had finished, we got back into the bed. We were lying in the bed. Mikasa was facing away from me. I held her waist and heard her gasp. 

I worriedly said," I-I'm sorry, Mikasa. Usually, you always talk to me before we sleep. And before we get into bed. Did I do something wrong? It was earlier, wasn't it? It was when I was holding you against the wall? I'm sorry. I just really wanted an answer to my question." 

I heard her sniffle. I tried to turn her around. She resisted at first, but still turned around. I saw her crying. I gasped and asked," Mikasa! What's wrong? It was me, wasn't it?! I'm sorry?! Please forgive me!" 

I wiped her tears as I slowly moved towards her. She looked away and said," No, it's not you. I just, a thought came to me that made me upset." I didn't know how to make her feel better. So I kissed her. I heard her gasp but kiss back. I pulled back," There, I hope that made you feel better." She smiled and said," It did, but could you kiss me again?" 

I nodded. I pulled her as close as I could to me. I kissed her deeply and passionately. I wanted this moment to last forever, but I pulled away. I said," We should go to sleep." I pulled her close to my chest and that's how we fell asleep.
