The Blind Slave

Chapter 3

She nods and holds her head. She looks at the fire. "...." she looks at Eren. She gets up and walks to him

"why didnt you told me? It will soon absorb you?"

She looks at him. "...."
"what are you talking about Eren..."

He looks in front

"Your secret is safe with me. You better keep mine to your grave"

He looks at her and smirks

"...i didnt said anything. You must be really tired"

She puts her head on his shoulder. "hnm... Yeah..." she holds his hand

He looks at her. He looks at her hand and pulls it away. Just the hand.

"Go to sleep, Mikasa"

"i'll wake you up in a few hours. Then well go"

"okay..." she walks and lays down. "lay with me..." she bites her lip

Eren frowns. He looks around

"Someone has to stand on watch."

He looks at her and takes a few seconds to think about it. He tilts his head

"What are you suggesting?"

"I'm... Cold..." she shivers. "...."

"you have a Titan ability. Cold is something we dont usually feel much. You want me to hold you. I'd say you have feelings for me."

He sits Next to her and holds her
He stares in front
"i'll keep you warm then. The night will be cold."

She holds him tightly and snuggles. "hmm..." she falls asleep. The next morning Mikasa opens her eyes and she sits up

Eren looks at her. He gets up

"Hey. You overslept."

He sits on his knees in front of her. He holds her chin

"See how we can only depend on us? We've been all alone last night"

Mikasa nods. "i see that... They didn't even look for us..." she touches his hand.

Eren smiles and nods slowly

"That's right. They dont care about us. Now imagine if they find out about our secret"

Mikasa looks at him. "what... Secret?"

Eren pokes her nose and walks

"I'll take care of that, dont worry"

They reach the caves. Eren looks at everyone.

'Where is she...'

He looks at Levi

Levi looks at Eren and he looks away. "...."

Mikasa looks at Eren. "...."
Annie looks at Eren.

Eren looks at Annie like 'i know' he walks past her

"How are you feeling Annie?"

He looks at Annie's hand knowing Mikasa cut it off but the Titan helped to regenerate quickly

Hange looks at Levi. She looks at them. Things didnt look good the moment they walk in the gates.

Annie hand is bandaged. She looks at him

"I'm fine"

Levi bites his lip

Eren nods and gives her a crooked smile.

"Im glad."

He looks at Mikasa. He looks at Levi

"Now that we're here, safe and sound, we can go back
Either way, we can go by ourselves. That would look good, captain"

He looks at Mikasa thinking to himself with a smirk

'she doesnt even know....'

Mikasa looks at him.
Levi looks at him. "Focus on resting for now"

Eren looks at Levi. He looks at the others and takes a bottle of water.

He sits on the ground.
He looks at Annie

Something on the way Levi was looking at them was suspicious. He knew he had to be careful from now on and keep an eye on Mikasa.

Hange walks to Mikasa and gives her some fruit and water

"What happened while you two were out?"

"...I had a cold... Eren helped me... that's all..."

Levi looks at Mikasa and he walks deeper in the cave to be alone

Hange looks at Eren. She looks at Mikasa after taking a long pause.

"You were injured. Good thing you're fine now"

She walks back to the others, looking at Mikasa every now and then.

Eren watches them

"We do know survival skills. We're not morons like the others back at base"

He walks outside

"Does anyone know where this cave leads?"

Jean looks at Mikasa. He sits next to her

"Mikasa...we were worried about you. With all those Titans out there. We had to retreat. They were cornering us"

"Im sorry we didnt came for you guys"

Levi stops and he looks at the others

Mikasa sighs. "it's fine. Eren was there to protect me"
