Goodbye | EreMika

Chapter 18

Mikasa's Point of view

We stood infront of the crowed waiting for the host to announce who won. We held each other hands and waited for the announcement.

"And the winner is! Unnamed! Congratulations!" He said and we all cheered! He handed us a trophy and some medals. Floch's band left the stage.

The judges went up the stage and congratulated us. Our friends took pictures of us on the stage.

"You guys did a fantastic job!" They said. We thanked them and left the stage. Our friends and family met us at the backstage and congratulated us.

"You guys were great!" They cheered. We hugged them, everything's perfect. Our hard work wasn't wasted at all.

After all of what we did I hope this makes things atleast a little lighter for Eren.

I watched them celebrate our win. Seeing the smiles plastered into their faces, made me smile aswell. Eren noticed me and held my arm and smiled, reminding me of my sweetest memories with him.

"Thank you Mikasa." He said. I looked at him confused but gave him a genuine smile.

"For what?" I chuckled. A small blush crept over my face. "For being with me, and supporting me. And for protecting me from the troubles I get myself into." He smiled at me. His face was tinted with a light pink blush. The others were distracted with their conversation to even notice us.

"Thank you Eren. Thank you for all you've done for me." I said clutching to the scarf. I then felt arms embracing me. I looked up to see it was Eren. My face turned bright red.

"Ereh."

Eren's Point of view

I embraced her. Seeing her smile made everything better. I might be stupid but one thing I'm sure of. I've fallen for Mikasa Ackerman. I'm not sure if she feels the same way. Who knows what lies beneath her beautiful smile, into those eyes are sorrow and pain. The past she had witnessed was a tragic one. I can't help but think how would they feel once I'm gone... how would she... feel?

Mikasa Ackerman I'll fight... I'll fight  as long as you are with me.

"Ereh." She looked up to me. I smiled at her and let go. Her scarf was untied. I went closer to her and wrapped it around her.

"I'll wrap that scarf for you as long as I'm with you." I let go one of her hands and we turned to see the others. Still not letting go of her other hand.

"Come on."

We joined the others in their conversation and listened to them. Because we won we wanted to celebrate. I suggested to go to the sea but they all kindly declined. It is already night it's understandable why.

But we did decided to go tommorow. And luckily our parents agreed. For tonight we decided to go to a restaurant and eat. We rode on our families' cars.

On the way to the restaurant all I thought about was Mikasa. I want to spend my night with her. I wish I could...

We arrived there and we all sat together. It was a big party with the fact that our parents are with us. My parents were talking to Ymir's parents, probably about how Ymir's mother was able to live pass 13 years. I just let them be. I know they are worried

I was more focused on talking to my friends. We all can't wait for our trip tommorow. We've always wanted to go to the ocean. We all enjoyed our food and when the time has come. We bid our goodbyes.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Morning came and I got ready for our trip. I packed all the things I needed. After a while Ymir, Jean and the others picked me up then Mikasa. The group was spilt into two. Boys on Jean's mom's car who he was driving. Girls on Ymir's car. Too bad I wanted to ride with Mikasa.

"Oi Eren why do you keep peaking at the girls car? Ya' miss someone?" Jean teased.

"No I don't. Just focus on the road. I don't want to die before the transplant." I said with an annoyed tone. I looked out the window and enjoyed the view.

After minutes of Jean's bad car driving skills. We arrived at the beach. My eyes glowed with excitement as I see the sea. I opened the car door and ran immediately to the shore with Armin following behind me. My feet touched the cold sea water. I stood there, admiring everything about the ocean. I could hear Jean's rambling, but I chose to ignore.

Not long after I realized that tears were falling from my eyes. I wiped them but still kept falling.

A hand landed on my shoulder. I turned and look, to see Mikasa smiling at me. She wiped my tears and held my hand.

"Why are you crying?"

"Nothing. Just... happy."

Armin joined us, as we admired the blue ocean.

"Thank you for bringing me here." I smiled at both of them and gave them both a hug.

"Oi Eren! Stop being emotional and help us set up the picnic!" Jean yelled and splased water on me. I turned to look at him furiously. I splased water at him and the salt water directly hit his eyes making him scream in pain. I ran away from him and helped the others setting up.

After setting up we all went back to the water. The girls are wearing their swim suits. I can't help but blush when I saw Mikasa. I brushed it off and went to the water. We played and splased each other. We were like little kids playing. I could see everyone not worrying about anything. Just simply having fun.

...........

The sun is about to set and we're about to leave. It's a shame that our beautiful day has come to an end. We'll everything will end after all. Everything is set and we are all ready to go when I realized...

"Where's Mikasa?"
