Some of the paragraphs are long... So bare with this please 😌
"I ASKED FOR MIKASA..." Eren said, standing behind Floch. If you hadn't guessed earlier that Floch was being watched, you would've been creeped out. Eren's demeanor stood strong, but just by glancing at him, you could tell he was nervous.
"Whatever you need to say to Mikasa, you can say it to me." You said.
A long groan left Eren's lips. He leaned over to Floch, whispering to him. You assumed he would leave because you watched his figure walk around the corner.
"Listen here, I'm not going to be nice about this, but I really fucked this up for the Mikasa and I."
You weren't surprised. You just nodded, waiting for him to continue. He let out a sigh.
"Mikasa's parents aren't the happiest right now that we have broken up. Especially since I claimed she is pregnant." Eren said, rubbing his temples.
"I've heard that, but what does that have to do with me?" You said that, crossing your arms.
"Our parents are making us get married, dating or not."
You pulled a face and said, "But Mikasa isn't pregnant."
"Wait, she isn't?" Eren said, staring at you. You stood there, reading his expression. He seemed... relieved?
"She might have; I don't know. She didn't tell me." You said it, lying through your teeth.
"I need you to tell Mikasa to at least pretend to be my girlfriend till this whole marriage idea blows," he says, giving you a pleading look.
"Ha, you must have hit your head all the way over here because I'm not doing that, Eren." You reached for the door handle, but Eren grabbed you first.
"Seriously, you know how bad it is that our parents arranged for us to date, but now marriage? I'm not that committed."
You let out a scoff.
"You weren't committed the first time you guys dated. You've been sticking your dick in other girls and think you can play the victim."
Eren let out a groan, rubbing his eyes, "Last year, my family's company went bankrupt due to client complaints. My dad was really devastated and basically did everything for his company. He wouldn't be home most nights and my mom would get worried. "
"Mikasa's family owns two churches, one here in Marley and one in her mother's home town. Since my mom is crazy religious, she decided to go to their church, and that's when she met Mai, Mikasa's mom."
You nodded, letting him continue.
"Mikasa's dad got invested in my dad's company and wanted a share as COO. He also recruited many people from his home town to get involved with the company. After a while, my mom found out my dad was getting money but not from people, but from the church. "
You stared at him in shock
"All that money that could've gone to families or causes went to my dad instead."
"That brings Mikasa along." You said
"I met Mikasa through a dinner party once my dad's company went through the roof. Her parents made it seem like she was desperate to be in a relationship, but I wasn't; I had a girlfriend back home, and it turns out that my dad paid her off to break up with me." Eren said, fidgeting with his ring.
"A few weeks later, I found out I had BPD and hid it from my family but Mikasa. My family doesn't believe in mental illness issues, so I avoided going to the doctor. Each day, it felt like it was getting worse and worse by the minute and every single day. But Mikasa was there for me. I felt awful every time I screamed, yelled, or even touched her."
"But what about tampering with her medication?" You pointed out.
"Mikasa developed insomnia at a young age. Klaus, Mikasa's dad, got worried for her and took her to the doctors, where they said she has to take medication. Mai, on the other hand, doesn't believe the pills could help her. She honestly thought she did it on purpose, so it made it seem like she was a bad mom. She tried taking the medicine away, but Klaus always pulled the divorce card on her. It's never a good image for a church wife. Mai promised me to pay for my college since my parents don't. I took the opportunity because I needed this."
You stood back, taking in every piece of information Eren gave you. The story checks out. Not only was Mikasa a victim of her parents' game, but so was Eren. He didn't ask to date Mikasa or get involved between his and her parents.
"I believe you." You said
Eren raised his head in shock.
"This time. I can talk to Mikasa about this, but if you don't get a response from me or her, you already know the answer."
🃎 • 🃍 • 🃋
"What did you and Eren talk about?" Mikasa said, sitting in the beanchair in the corner of your room.
"It was an eventful conversation." You explained, having your back turned towards her.
"And?"
"Eren told me everything."
Mikasa sat there, dismayed, as if you had just told her that her puppy had run away from home. She couldn't tell by the way you weren't facing her if you were upset or worried.
"Y/N..."
"I'm not upset. Both you and Eren were only following the rules of your parents." You said, turning to face her. You walked over, and sat beside her in the chair.
