A Cruel World (Mikasa Ackerman X Titan Shifter Reader)

Chapter 1: To You, In 2.000 Years.

✧༺⚔️༻✧

You are a 12-year-old boy living in Shiganshina, you and your parents are poor but live fairly normal. You have always had white sharp nails kind of like a werewolf and you wear gloves to not accidentally scratch someone.

As of right now you're outside just throwing a rock up and catching it again. You keep doing this for a minute or so until you hear a yell from an alley, you walk over to the alley to see a blonde kid getting bullied by some kids. You decide to go help him out.

You throw the rock at the guy holding him and he turns around, looking at you angrily.

"Hello there." You say.

"Bastard!" The boy yells.

"No, I'm Y/N."

"Oh yeah? Wanna go funny guy?"

The kid gets into a fighting stance, you look behind him and see two kids running your way.

One of his servants taps the kids shoulder.

"Uh, Mikasa is coming." He says.

"Shit! Get out of here!" The kid says as they start running past you.

You stick out a foot and make the leader trip, he gets up and just runs further away. The two kids arrive.

"One look at me and they ran off!" The brown haired boy says.

"Nah man, they ran away because of her." You say as you point at the black haired girl.

"Oh, who are you?" The brown haired boy says while helping up the blonde one.

You all introduce yourselves.

"I'm Y/N L/N."

"Okay, I'm Eren Yeager."

"Armin Arlert, nice to meet you."

"Mikasa Ackerman."

"It's nice to meet you all. But Mikasa, why did they run from you? No offense but you don't really look that strong." You say to Mikasa.

"Trust me when I say this, she can put you into the ground if she wants to." Eren says and Armin nods in agreement.

"Huh, noted."

You and the other three walk around town for a bit and eventually sit down on some stairs. Armin goes to read a book and explains some stuff to Eren, leaving you and Mikasa doing nothing so you decide to break the silence between you two.

"Nice scarf, Mikasa." You say.

"Thank you, you have pretty eyes." She replies.

"Thanks. That's a first, normally people give me weird looks because of my eyes."

"You sure it isn't because of the gloves you're wearing while it's warm outside?" Eren asks in which Mikasa elbows his side in response. Eren goes back to listening to Armin.

"Might be."

"Why do you wear them?" Mikasa asks.

You take one glove off and show them your nails.

"I wear them to avoid scratching people with my nails."

"... Can't you just cut them?"

"No, I've tried lots of things but nothing seems to make even a little scratch."

"Huh, that's weird."

"Yeah, it's almost like they're made from the walls!"

You earn a slight chuckle from Mikasa.

"Heh, they can't be."

"Nah... "

You look into the distance and begin to daydream a bit.

"Y/N?" Armin asks.

"Hmm?"

"Have you ever heard of giant lands made of ice? Or this thing called 'the ocean'?"

The word 'ocean' gives you a slight headache, you suddenly remember what it is, you even remember seeing an ocean yourself. But that can't have happened. Right?

"Yeah... I think I've heard about them."

"See Eren! Even Y/N has heard about them!"

"Hey!"

"Well then Armin, one day the four of us will reach the ocean." Eren says.

A few minutes of dead silence pass. Dead silence. Not even a cough. And suddenly BOOM!

Yellow lightning strikes outside the wall. You and the other three decide to go to the main street, there are plenty of people staring upwards. A hand, a red hand grabbed the wall. It stands up completely, revealing it's skinless head.

Again you get a headache, this time images of a skeletal Titan with feminine looking traits appears in your mind.

Suddenly it kicks the gate, sending huge pieces of rubble flying into the town.

Eren and Mikasa run away to their house. You run to yours as well and find your house crushed with two bloody arms belonging to two different persons sticking out of the rubble. Your parents, they're... Dead.

A tiny painting of a couple getting married sticks out of the rubble, your parents on their wedding day. They look so happy and in love, just how they looked last time you saw them. This morning at breakfast before you headed out, your parents offered to go to a small farm and play with the animals but you denied wanting to go outside and make some friends. Perhaps if you took them up on their offer, they'd still be at your side comforting you and telling you that everything's alright.

Suddenly two hands grab your shoulder, one smaller than the other. You turn around to see... Your parents? You immediately hug them thinking they were gone.

"Mom! Dad!"

"Hey Y/N, we need to get out of here." Your mom says.

"Yes, but who are those two people under the rubble?"

"I had some business associates come over unexpectedly, me and your mother were shopping for some food because they asked us to." Your dad says.

"Well thank God for needy businessmen!"

Your parents chuckle.

"Come on, the Titans are everywhere."

Your parents grab your hands, run towards the river and get on a boat. Coincidentally the same as Mikasa, Eren and Armin.

Armin is talking to his grandpa and looks traumatized. Mikasa just looks sad. Your parents sit down exhausted and you decide to walk over to Mikasa, you sit down next to her.

"Hey Mikasa."

"Hello... "

"Are you okay?"

"No, I just saw Eren's mother getting eaten by a Titan." She says rather bluntly.

"Oh... So that's why Eren looks traumatized."

"Yeah, it is... Did you lose anyone?"

"No, I thought I did but those were just business associates of my father, both my parents are still alive luckily."

"Must've been scary to think they were gone."

"Yeah. What about yours? I mean you ran along with Eren to his house, why not your own?"

"I don't have one, the Yeagers took care of me. My parents were murdered five years ago."

"Oh... I'm sorry for asking."

"No it's alright."

...

'We really are like birds in a cage...'
