Eremika:When The Time Is Right

17.Ground Rules and Understanding

*Mikasa pov*

We arrive home,I lead Eren into the kitchen and place him on a chair.

"Wait here, " I tell him, before running into the kitchen to find him a bandage for his wounds.I place them on the countertop. Gently, I clutch his hand in my grip, careful not to hurt him.He winces as I place disinfectant on his cuts. I quickly but carefully wrap it up "there,its all better now"I smile at him, hoping to relive the negative tension in the room, hopefully comforting him. He looks away, scowling"Mikasa, you can't go outside like that anymore, especially when people want you dead."

I lower my gaze."I'm sorry" I saw, avoiding his diamond eyes.I feel terrible.He did so much forme and all i can be is a nuisance.

"Thank you,Eren, for saving and protecting me"I say, looking up at him,my eyes tearing up as hes the one person who

He pulls me into his broad chest,I stumble upon his lap and I feel his muscular arms encasing me. As my head is placed on his chest,I feel his mere heartbeat thudding onto his chest.I feel at peace knowing he is near me.We sit in silence,a comfortable silence,very comforting.As I breathe out,I feel his fingers play with my hair, twisting it around in his fingers and his other hand

He then pulls me to look at him then presses his lips onto mine,I feel his soft lips open and his tongue enters my mouth.I can't stop myself and our tongues dance around in each other's mouths.I moan as he lifts me up onto his lap and hand travels up my thighs. We only stop to breathe but then go back to our lover's game. I stop myself. There was a reason why I didnt kiss him like this back then and I feel that reason rising back into my body.I release my mouth from his and stare at him for a few moments, I freeze as he looks up at me,his eyes filled with lust.I then remember his kiss with Hitch and how she's probably kill me for kissing her boyfriend.

"Im sorry, I shouldn't have,"I say stuttering in my speech,whilst collecting my thoughts."Hitch wouldn't like this"

I try to get off his lap but he stops me,his arms tightening on my waist" Hitch?Why is she involved in this? "He has a bewilderd expression on his face.

"Shes your girlfriend is she not?"My eyebrows arch in confusion.

He shakes his head,as a sign of no.

"Then why did you kiss her?"Thoughts rummage into my head, I feel as if I'm Hitch. What if Erens using me as he did with Hitch?As the perilous thoughts fill my head, I feel my self urgently wanting to be out of his grasp.Hurridly,I try to scurry out of his lap.

"no,wait Mikasa its not like that"He pulls me back once again,his hand on my thigh.

"then what is it like Eren."I feel no emotion,but anger."why did you kiss her?Is our feelings just a game to you?"I feel rage arising in my chest.

"No,i-"he says,trying to vindicate him self.

"You what??,"I have no excuses for him, I feel angry at my self to let him touch me like this. In

i aggressively try to get off once again, but his words catch me.

"It's because , I love you. Too much. I kissed her to see if you would care since you and Jean were all up on each other that night-"

"Is that really why?"i say,my voice softening.Is that why?He tried to make me jealous?I feel satisfied with that answer,but I still feel terribly bad for Hitch for some odd reason.

"But Hitch,what about her,she doesnt deserve that does she.She was crying over you after you know.Its like, when she kissed you she felt worthless, because, apparently there is always someone else-"

He shushes me,"dont worry about her,all I want is you"

He then kisses my neck,sucking on it.I refuse to answer anymore questions,as I moan in pleasure as he caresses my thighs,making me want more.I feel his desire,poking me through his trousers.He stops and looks at me,as i hear my phone vibrating on the table.We try to ignore it but it persistently keeps ringing.I sign and get up to answer it.
