Mission: LOVE ⚔️ (mikasa x reader)

One month

"(Y/n), you alright?" Mikasa questioned as you sat on your bed in silence.

"No." You said silently as the girl sat next to you on your bed.

"I know you're worried. And I know you feel like everything's up to you. But I'm right here for you." She reminded you as you were still scared. Being told people were on your side made you feel slightly better, but that feeling of having to deal with everything remained strong.

"Listen. Commander Erwin will create an amazing plan. And it'll all be thanks to you. We have a future because of you!" She reminded you.

"Mikasa what if people get killed. Do you know what it feels like to be responsible for the murders of all those people?" You questioned as she shook her head.

"You're not responsible for their death. You know you would never CHOOSE to let someone die. That's not you. I know you." Mikasa said as you leaned your head onto her shoulder.

"I care." She said quietly as she held onto your chin, moving you away from her shoulder so the two of you could look at each other.

"We're getting answers." She said quietly, her pupils moving around to look at the different parts of your eyes.

You felt that same emotion again. The heart pumping, sweaty hands, nervous shaking, all of it.

'Mikasa, I need you to stay with me. You don't know how much I need you.'

"Now let's go to that meeting." She said as you snapped out of your daze, realizing this wasn't some hyper realistic romance scene like you thought it was.

"Yeah." You said as you got up and grabbed your crutches.

The meeting this morning felt painfully long. But you had Mikasa, so you pulled through without losing focus.

Erwin kept that drawing you drew yesterday, and compared it with the one he drew. He said the mission will be based around the walls, and we wouldn't go search outside of the walls just yet.

You'd... well, not you, but the other scouts would take Reiner and Bertholdt to the top of wall Maria, on the southern side, just in case. In order to lead them there, Eren will lie and say it's apart of a mission, and every other scout would be told the same thing. Except for the scouts Levi trusts.

Which is a lot of them. Levi would tell them all that Reiner and Bertholdt are being investigated and that they're ordered to follow along.

Eren will be the one to tell ask them straight up while they're in position.

He'd say "are you guys titans?" And just like that their response is your answer.

The reason Wren would be the one to ask is because he also has a titan power, so if comes down to a fight, you'll be able to watch a titan 1v1, like the one you missed back when you passed out after your leg was crushed.

Eren turned into a titan and fought Annie before defeating her. You didn't get to see any of it. The only information you knew was what Mikasa had told you.

Enough about the past. You were scared about the future. What exactly Reiner and Bertholdt would do, what chaos they'd cause.

You had a month to prepare though. A long time to be focused on yourself. No more needing to fear, all the time. You didn't have to talk to Reiner or Bertholdt, Levi said you could even distance yourself from everyone if you'd like. But he made it a requirement to tell him whenever you had a dream, even if it didn't relate to the mission or anything important.

But that wasn't a big deal, because you haven't had a dream since that dream about that man. It's like you go to sleep, complete blackness, and then you wake up wondering where the time went.

You wondered when the next time you had a dream was going to be.

Word got around by the mission, and you often checked on Connie and Sasha, the two idiots most likely to blow your cover. But they surprisingly stayed quiet about the whole thing.

You brought Mikasa a warm cup of tea to her room.  She's been dealing with a cold these last two days.

It was the first time you saw her like this. Weak, in a sense. It made you sad, and you wanted her to get better desperately, which is why you cared for her.

"Sit up." You said with a smile as you looked at the rather pale girl, her positioning herself in her bed before reaching out her hands.

You placed the cup in her hand as she shuttered from the warmth of the cup spreading throughout her body with the touch.

"Honey lemon. You love this flavour." You smiled as the girl nodded, raising the cup to her lips to take a sip.

"Ugh... it's been a long time since I've ever been sick." The girl sniffled as you sat on the corner of her bed.

"Hurry and get better for me, Kay?" You smiled as Mikasa nodded while taking more sips of the tea.

"The mission is in two weeks. The last thing I want is for you to not be prepared." You giggled before placing your hand on her head. She was burning up. Poor mikasa.

"You should rest more." You said to the girl as she took a deep breath out as she lowered her cup of tea.

"Sleep with me. Here." She said as she looked into your eyes, you feeling your heart race as you tried not to laugh at how cute she was being.

"I don't want to catch whatever you have. But I can sleep over there if you'd like." You smiled as you pointed towards Sasha's bed, Mikasa nodding before sniffling.

Her nose was a red tint. She looked like Rudolf, you wanted to make fun of her, but you just smiled and waited as she finished her tea.

You used your crutches to bring the empty cup back to the kitchen before cleaning it in the sink and putting it back in the wooden cabinet.

As you went to Mikasa's room once again, the girl had lifted her sheets above her, lying back down properly as you could only see her nose up.

"Night." You said as you helped the girl put her hair behind her ear. You went to Sasha's bed on the other side of the room as you lied down in it.

Sasha decided to pull an all nighter with Connie so it's not like she'd need to sleep here anyways.

It was just like back then at the cadet core. When you'd sleep next to Mikasa. When you'd wake up next to her. You wanted that to happen again. You hoped when you woke up, she was back to normal. Greeting you like it was nothing.
