Unforeseen Love - (Mikasa x Reader)

Eren's Impulsive Behaviour

As normal, it was an early morning, 7:32 am to be precise, nothing special.
The 'Three Musketeers' (Sasha, Connie and Jean) were finally out of house arrest.
All three woke me up by knocking on the door violently, they burst into my room like a stampede. The door was already unlocked.
"Good morning y/n!" They all spoke in unison.
"Morning guys." I yawned out.
"You ready for the ball tonight?" Jean asked with a spirited smile on his face. I nodded, still tired.
"Well sleepyhead, you need to get up and go eat breakfast. We already had ours, so we'll go out to get some outfits ready for the night."
Sasha stated this time her face wasn't stuffed with food, except she did still have crumbs all around her mouth and somehow in her hair. Odd girl... she's such a messy eater.
They had to head off early to go shopping as they didn't have any attire to wear for the ball, so we didn't really get any time to have a proper chat.
The moment they left my room, I rubbed my eyes and my gaze turned to the new apparel I left in my open closet. I zoned out and my mind switched, thinking yet again about the dance and of course, Mikasa.
Dreaming of dancing with that breath-taking goddess tonight. Just the thought of it makes me feel so warm and funny on the inside in different ways.

For the wall's sake y/n, stop it, it's 7 in the morning, you just woke up and you are already thinking about this kind of stuff.
I highly doubt she'll end up being my dance partner anyway, it's unlikely.

I picked up the uniform I have thrown on the floor from last night and put it on, it still wasn't washed. I'll wash it tonight before the ball if I don't forget to that is.

I exited my sleeping chamber, walked down the hallways and ended up in the room in which everyone had been eating. I had the usual, cereal, and so did my
companions.
We sat in an enjoyable silence, nothing much happened, just the sound of cutlery hitting the sides of bowls.
That wasn't until Eren gave a mischievous smile towards Armin who was next to him, and Mikasa who sat just opposite me.
He was planning the beginning of a food fight.
Sniggering, he threw a splash of milk at one of the cadets not too far from us.

Big mistake Eren.

A simple splash of milk triggered hell to break loose, the situation escalated incredibly fast.
Bits of cereal, potatoes, bread, meat, eggs and whatnot flew in the air. Commander Hange couldn't contain their laughter and her laugh was so loud it silenced the chaos, it was the only thing that could be heard after that point. Levi grew tired of the commotion, he nudged Zoë making an effort to put an end to their hysterics.
"Hange, you are bringing too much attention to yourself. You look like a fool right now so calm down. You are a commander, don't forget your place."
He warned her as he shook his head in let-down.
"Yes sir, sorry sir." She stuttered, smiling still trying to hold in their laugh.
Erwin stood up with minimal aggravation tapping his spoon resoundingly against his bowl to grab attention,
"Cadets, if this nonsense doesn't stop right this instant, I'll regrettably have to cancel the event that occurs tonight."
A small gasp let out from the gluttonous people. Levi stood in rising anger,
"Clean this mess, filthy brats."
He inhaled and sat back down in his seat, sipping on his tea. Everyone did as the executive instructed and got up to work, cleaning every nook and cranny possible.

-Time skip to the afternoon- (Sasha, Connie and Jean are back from shopping)

We were directed to do some defence and attack training coached by leaders, Smith and Ackerman. Hange was off with other Survey Corps doing some different types of training. We used fake wooden ODM gear, guns and knives for safety.
I trained with Jean, Eren was with Annie, Armin with Mikasa, Sasha with Connie, Bertholdt with Reiner and so forth. I must admit Jean was pretty stable in his defence but not so much in his attacks.
Eren was getting completely demolished by Annie, he couldn't stand a chance against that athletic female. All I could hear were grunts and Eren's body constantly slamming the floor, he was unable to lay a single finger on her without being knocked down.
To my surprise, I was staying focused throughout the whole training and my eye didn't turn to the dark-haired person, Mikasa, at all.

After some time passed, we were soon done with our exercises. We were told by the Commanders to go to our beds to get some rest before the occurrence of the special dance.
I proceeded to walk through the corridors with Sasha and we couldn't stop talking about tonight.
"So you hoping to dance with anyone... you know, special?"

Dammit. Here we go again.

I gave out a simple "Yep."
I smiled awkwardly, hoping the curious girl wouldn't ask me anymore questions.
"I see." She smirked.

I see?! Does she know already?

Well, I shouldn't be so suprised this girl may be dumb at times but she knows everyones secrets.
I opened the plain white door that goes to my room and I waved a goodbye to Sasha.
I closed the door behind me and took off my uniform leaving me only in a vest and shorts. I threw my uniform into the washing machine afterwards, climbing onto my snug bed. I set my alarm just an hour before the event would start, just enough time for me to get ready.
I snoozed off and I started to dream.

It looked like I was in the future, everyone looks so much older here? However that's not the point. Suddenly, 9 foot tall giant monstrosities, if not taller, surrounded me very rapidly. They inched their hands closer to me, no escape. I had no ODM gear no nothing. I felt like a hopeless tiny ant. Mercifully, a slim lady, her hair shorter than Mikasa's.
Wait...
That is Mikasa. She came to save me, slicing the napes of every titan that huddled around me. This is the best dream I've ever ha-
I spoke too soon.
A hand grabbed her by her whole body, she was at a loss.
She gave up? Right then and there, she gave up? This isn't like the Mikasa Ackerman I know.
The titan's teeth just about touched her skin before brutally chomping her down into pieces.

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

My alarm went off and I woke up, screaming. "MIKASA!"
A tear rolled down my cheek, it was only one of those stupid nightmares again.

I wiped my face and my mood lightened up realising, it was almost time for something immensely exciting, the Masked ball.
