Evil Twin (Eren X Fem Black Reader)

What happened to Law & Order? (pt.1)

(TW: mentions of rape, abuse, and torture)

Today was the day you've been dreading. Not only because you've been avoiding the question if this was the right time to get with Eren and actually commit to someone who never committed to any one else before. Did you love him too. Fuck yeah. Were you ready to admit it though? Hellll naw. If anything, it wasn't about getting hurt. It was about you KNOWING you could get hurt and all the red signs in front of you telling you don't do it but your heart is saying to do it. And THEN you end up getting hurt. It's worse when you have nobody but yourself to blame.

But the most important thing was it was your court day. And if you were going down, you were taking Mikasa to the depths of hell with you. You made sure you got there early so there was no way they could say you were late. Gou took a couple of pills to help with your abdominal pain,p a couple more than you should have.You were ready to get this shit over with. So you could go back to the life you had. It wasn't really normal, but it was better than this shit. And you could worry about normal college student shit like tests and how to react when a nigga says " I love you."

As soon as you reported in they took you to a back room away from Mikasa. You stayed there for about 2 hours before it was time. They handcuffed you and took you out. When you asked why they handcuffed you, they only said it was until you got to the stand. You decided to save the fighting for the court. You got to your seat next to your lawyer. She was black with vitiligo and long locs. Mikasa also walked in with handcuffs. You could believe they actually planted you both in the same room. Mikasa had cut her hair short and she wore no makeup. She was dressed in a black suit, hat, and flats. Like she was going to some sort of funeral. Maybe your life's funeral?

You both made eye contact. Everything that happened that night came back to you. Every consequence that YOU had to live with for simply getting caught up came back. Ymir and Historia were in her corner. They looked at you intently, they were more than plotting on you. Eren, Connie, Armin, Sasha, Annie, and Keondra came in. They say in your corner. You sister and cousin came in after. They looked stressed and were already over this whole process. You remember how your cousin always used to say that court houses were more dangerous than jails. And now you could see what he meant.

The judge came in and you stood. Everybody did. When they said you could be seated you did that as well. Everybody did. You were defending, Mikasa was prosecuting. The judge was an old white lady sadly. Let's hope she wasn't a bold faced racist. She sat down and banged her javel. "The court is now in session."

It's crazy how you could win back or lose your life in this time and the only word they have for it is "session." The lawyer presented Mikasa's accusations against you. Rape and assault. If you didn't win today, Mikasa could get away with what she did to you and you would rot in prison. If you won this trial, you'd still have to face Mikasa and attempt to put her in prison. And if you lose, your case can not be re-opened.

They got right into it, presented the evidence. Mikasa's ribs and arms, Jean and Historia as a witness to you choking her out completely naked, and the stab wound on your arm that she said she did for self defense. The prosecution then called you to the stand to ask some questions.

"Do you swear to answer any and all questions truthfully?" They asked as they placed your hand on the Bible. Like  putting your hand on a Bible ever stopped a nigga from lying. You nodded. Mikasas lawyer came up and fixed his suit. White man. Old white man. With his gray beard turning pure white.

"Good morning, how's your arm doing Ms. L/N?" The lawyer said. You rolled your eyes. "I'm fine." You answered all ready tired of the bull.

"Did Mikasa stab you in the arm? And if so, then with what?" He asked. You had to think back a bit on what she stabbed you with. "Yes. A knife." You answered. He nodded.

"And why did she stab you?" You had to be really careful of how you answered the question. Even if you didn't go down for rape, assault was still on the table. "She was trying to get to my friend Keondra, who was down for the count because she hit her with a fireball bottle." You answered. It wasn't a lie. Was it the truth tho?

He nodded once more. "My client did say that you were on top of her, throwing blows. Was it for Keondra's protection or pure rage from the conversation?" He said. "Keondra's protection. Mikasa is an athlete. She specializes in the martial arts." You said. Anything more would be opinionated.

"What was said in the conversation that triggered this whole situation?"

"A game of Never have I Ever. Connie, Eren, and Mikasa were throwing shade at eachother." You said. As you looked towards the seating area of the court, you realized that Connie, Eren, and Keondra were in the witness seating. "

"What were the statements?" He asked. "Something along the lines of Mikasa accusing Eren of cheating on Historia, Eren combating that with the fact that he cheated on Historia with her, who's supposed to be her best friend, and Connie bringing up what happened the day before." You said. "What happened the day before?" "Mikasa sexually assaulted me for the 1st time." You said slowing down as you reached the end of that sentence. You practiced saying that line 10000 times, but this was the real moment. It was scary and it felt like a piece of you died. "And why didn't you report this incident?" He asked. You weren't going to let him fuck your shit up. You were doing a good job. "Because I was not comfortable with anybody knowing that took place. We were in the same friend group and I didn't know who would believe me." You said, that was a big thing to admit.

He raised a brow. "Then when did you tell Connie?" "The next day after he reassured me that no matter what he'd always be there." The lawyer nodded. "Who threw the first blow and how did you get involved?" You cleared your throat, you were walking in a booby trap and you had to stay vigilant. "Mikasa threw a shot glass at Connie. Keondra jumped a Mikasa to defend him. Keondra then was knocked in the head with the fireball and I went in to defend her." He turned around

"Which ones are Connie and Eren? He said looking back at them.

"The Afro-Latino male is Connie and the white one is Eren." You said. He looked at you. "They both seem sturdy, why didn't Connie defend himself?" You raised a brow. "We as a collective believe that if there is a different way to defend yourself, men shouldn't hit women." The lawyer smirked.

"But Connie yelling 'Where My Gun, where my gun' is acceptable?" He said. You raised a brow. You lawyer stood up. "OBJECTION. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DEFENDING PARTY." "Sustained. Refrase, and jury will ignore that last statement." The judge said, writing notes down. You sighed, you honestly had no idea how you were going to answer that.

"So, does the same rule apply to you?" He asked. You were confused. "I don't know what your-"  "No more questions for her your honor." He said, going back to his seat. Your eyes widened at how abrupt that was. You shrugged though and went back to your seat. As you went back, you saw you lawyer rummaging through some papers. You slowly approached. "Uhmmm, you goood??" You asked, looking at her. She didn't even look up at you. "Yes, you did a great jo- EREN." She yelled. She looked at him, his eyes were wide. "He's gonna call you next. If you don't do this correctly, your going to make it 10x harder for Y/N." She said. Eren was still confused, but it was too late to say explain. "Next I call Historia Reiss to the stand, as well as Eren Yeager." He said. Eren looked at Connie wide eyed. Connie shrugged.

Eren straightened his suit up and headed to the stand.
