Attack On Titan: Zero

Season One: Chapter 23

Y/N'S POV
"Would you like... To spend the day with me?"

"W- What?" Mikasa's face turned a bright red, her grip around my hand loosened as her eyes widened.

"Would you like to spend t- the day with me?" I repeated, trying to be confident, but failing.

Mikasa looked off to the side, "I..."

"S- Sorry." I rubbed the back of my neck nervously, "I shouldn't have asked." I looked down, disappointed that she didn't say yes, until I heard a mumble-

"Sure."

"Hm?" I looked up at her.

"I- I'd love to." She looked back at me, the blush still visible as she smiled.

A familiar feeling returned in my stomach as my face turned bright red just like hers, "H- How does tomorrow sound?"

Mikasa nodded, her hands sweating a bit as I felt the moisture on my palm, "T- That sounds good."

"A- Alright. I'll come for you tomorrow." I nervously smiled.

I have to get the fuck out of here. It's so awkward- Just think, Y/n. Think of something that makes sense.

I stood up, stretching my arms as I yawned, "I'm tired. I'm gonna go to sleep early today."

Well aren't you early. It's still bright as hell outside.

The hell was that?

Ignoring the random voice in my head, I looked at Mikasa, "Already?" Mikasa looked up at me, uncertainty reflected in her dark orbs.

"Yeah, I guess cleaning so much because of the captain has tired me out." I chuckled nervously, trying my best to sound truthful, but actually, I was doing a horrible job at lying.

"The captain's been at this HQ all day." Mikasa said.

"Oh, he has?... Well... Uh... He'll want me asleep! So I should get going! Bye, Mikasa, love- I mean uh- loaf- uh- fuck! Bye!" I quickly ran away from the area and made my way back to the main gates of Trost. Breathing heavily, I wiped the sweat off my forehead and sighed, "I'm such an idiot"

MIKASA'S POV
"I hope he's ok." I turned my head away from the way Y/n left as I thought about his words from earlier.

He wants me to spend the day with him? What do I do? What if I ruin it? What if he gets mad that it didn't go the way he want-

"Well isn't this nice."

I looked over in the direction of the person's voice. Immediately greeted with a familiar expressionless raven haired boy, "Rayvon?"

"Oh, didn't see you there." Rayvon sarcastically said as he waved, "Hey, Mikasa." He smiled. That mischievous smile. I didn't know whether I could trust him or not.

"Hey." I said.

"So, what's going on with Y/n?" Rayvon asked, his tone curious.

"Y- Y/n wants to spend the entire day tomorrow with me." I stuttered out, bringing the fabric around my neck up to my nose, the cool air irritating me a bit, "I don't know what to do..."

"Well don't make it weird. You don't want to creep him out or anything. Just think of it as spending the day with a close friend. Although it's with the one you love, and not just a friend." Rayvon sighed and shook his head, "Love is useless."

I glanced over at him, a thought lingering in my mind, "Is there anyone you love?"

Rayvon cleared his throat, his usual emotionless expression wavering, "Y- Yeah... My little brother..."
