Eren pulled up to your apartment and parked his bike where his Jeep normally would go. He removed your helmet then paused looking at your face.

He then removed his own and his eyebrows were curved with concern, flattening his hair into a bun, the pieces in the front stubbornly staring put.

He raised his hand to wipe your warm cheek with his thumb. "You're safe now...okay?" He light nodded.

You said nothing as your eyes dropped to his shirt. You wrapped your arms around him & held him tight.

The plan was never to stay in New York for as long as you did. You'd probably be in Wisconsin by now if you would've stuck to your original plan but it was impossible to leave friends like yours behind especially after you met Eren.

But now that their lives were in danger because of you, all of that was up in the air. And if you really did love them like you said, then it was in fact time to let them go.

His strong arms were warm against your bare back as he held you tight. You shed a few tears and while he was thinking you must've really been shaken up, you cried because you wished you'd never met any of them.

"Listen, it's okay. Shhh, let's get inside. Get you a shower &—"

His phone buzzes from his pocket again.

Mikasa
Answer | Decline

He answered and swung the phone up to his ear.

Japanese
"Have you heard—"

"—Eren, the warehouses are under attack!! They've blown up six of them hidden by Highland County" Loud explosions and gun shots filled her background noise.

He turned away from you and jerked his head forward, "What?!"

"You need to get down here now!!"

"I'm coming. Where's Zeke?"

"I don't know, I lost him a little while ago."

"Shit. Okay, call levi. I'll see you in a couple of hours."

"O—"

"—Mikasa... don't die, okay? I'm coming."

He hung up while lowering the phone, looking over at you.

"You speak Japanese?" You tilted your head.

He lightly nodded, "I do."

You nodded in return, reading the look on his face that he didn't wanna say out loud, "..Are you leaving"

"...I'm so sorry."

You shrugged your shoulder as some lights pull in behind Eren's bike. You turn to see who it is and it's, Jean, Sasha, and Connie's cars lined up. Armin parked his own bike across the street.

They parked and ran up to hug you and Eren while him & Jean just exchanged a look. Happy enough to see that each other survived, to stubborn to actually acknowledge it.
