Truce

cw: strong language, mild sexual content

Thursday goes by like every other day. Wake up, breakfast, work in silence with Jean, and now lunch.

I'm sitting at a table with Sasha and Mikasa. The boys bypassed lunch to have a game of basketball. Sasha is talking about Niccolo. The two of them have been spending a lot of time together and he is clearly making him very happy.

"We have baked cookies almost every night! And then talk for hours after! We never run out of anything to talk about!" She's beaming.

"That's great, Sash, really." I start. "But there's something else I want to discuss today." My eyes shoot to Mikasa.

Mikasa's eyebrow raises and she gives me a confused look. Sasha reciprocates the expression.

"What's with you and Eren? Spill Mika." I ask with a smirk.

"What do you mean?" She asks.

"Oh Mikasa. You were happy as a clam the other morning after you came back from running with him. You two were sitting awfully close at breakfast yesterday too. Something's up. So spill" I reiterate.

"I don't know what you mean." Mikasa's cheeks  visibly warm up.

"Oh my god! Y/N! You're right! I saw him walking you home the other night too!! You guys are hooking up, aren't you???!" Sasha's voice is raising.

"What? No! Sasha, keep your voice down!"

I laugh. "Cut the crap Ackerman!! Explain yourself!!"

Mikasa groans. "Agh! Fine! We haven't hooked up, but we just- we've been spending a lot of time together recently, more so than usual. And it seems, I don't know, different."

"Different how?!" Sasha and I both ask. We're both on the edge of our seats, smiling ear to ear.

"Well, when we hang out at home it's usually with Armin. But he seems to just want to hang out with me. He's been really touchy lately too. Always playing with my hair, or putting his hand on my leg"

"Oh my god!! Jaeger likes you!! He totally wants you!!" Sasha yells.

"Sasha!! Shut up!" I say. I turn back to Mikasa. "She's right though. He's down bad."

"It's not like that, probably. We haven't even kissed. Or talked about anything like that. It's just - I don't know." Mikasa looks at her palms.

"Do you like him?" I ask.

"Are you kidding?? I've been in love with him since we were kids." Mikasa blurts.

Sasha and I stay silent, jaws slacked and eyes wide.

"Awwwwwwwwwwwww" Sasha breaks the silence.

"Let's go watch the basketball game!!" I suggest. "If what I think is happening is happening he'll be so excited to see you."

"Ya! And who knows, maybe he's skins." Sasha winks.

"Okay." Mikasa says quietly.

We all get up from our seats and head towards the basketball court. When we get there we take a seat on the bleachers. Eren is on the skins team. Along with Connie and Jean. They're playing against Marco, Bertholdt and Armin

"Hey girls!" Says Armin, wiping sweat from his bangs.

"Hey Armin! How's the game going?" I ask.

"Not too great for us...but we're taking a break."

A tall brunette shows up behind the blonde.

"Hey Mikasa!"  Says Eren.

"Hi" Mikasa answers softly.
