Silent Call

Suffer and Love

"...Eren..."

In an instant, the scenery around herself had changed from the workshop room where the air smelt of burning wood and Iron. Now replaced with an infinite desert that sat under the night sky. Not illuminated by stars but by a tree that stood taller than thousand's of Colossal Titans stacked up upon each other, Its glowing hue making the sand beneath her appear similarly to the ocean. Mikasa fell forwards onto her hands and knees at the sight as she began to question if she was going insane.

Her breathing quickened, she felt cold, her body began to shake, her pupils shrunk and her toes scrunched tightly together before it all of it went away like rain storm that had begun to slowly fade away The moment the familiar touch of the man she had beheaded had put one hand on her shoulder and his other on the side of her face that guided her to sit up straight. Now all she felt warm. She closed her eyes as her heart raced like a horse sprinting at its top speeds as she felt warmer than the crimson scarf around her neck had ever made her feel. The head she buried under the tree not too long ago was now resting its forehead against hers.

"...Mikasa..."

The loose scarf around her neck that she hadn't bothered to tighten around her neck since first appearing in the underworld, had slowly descended from her neck as they stayed in the same position for a solid three minutes. Just as the Crimson's scarf was about to fall into the sand, Mikasa opened her eyes to catch it, only for the man holding her to act faster. His hand dropped from her face and caught the scarf before it could reach the sand beneath their legs. As they separated for a moment to look at each other, Mikasa took note of who was sitting before her and who bore a much more lively expression on his face than the last time they had a proper conversation with each other. Neither of them spoke as they each lowered their eyes to the scarf in Eren's palms before they returned their gaze back to each other. An unsaid message was spoken between the two of them while a memory from years ago resurfaced in their minds.

"I will wrap that around you as many times as you want" The wounded soldier looked to the Titan shifter who got up onto his feet and stared down the very Titan that sent them both down the path to fight against the Titans. The Butcher of Carla Jaeger and Hannes reached out its bloodied hand towards both herself and Eren, yet the man whose fingers had finished regenerating stood with unwavering resolve.
"Now and forever...as much as you want!"

The strongest of the one hundred and fourth watched with both awe and fear as the man she was supposed to be rescuing and protecting screamed as loud as he could while he reeled his right arm back and unleashed it against the Titans hand. Not expecting to reveal a new power that would turn the tide of the skirmish for the better.

Mikasa simply stared at Eren as he wrapped the crimson red scarf around her neck, albeit not doing a great job at actually securing the wrapped scarf. The simple act of Eren keeping his promise even after he had been slain by her hand made Mikasa's eyes tear up. She opened her mouth to speak yet all that came out were incomprehensible starts to words that she hadn't thought about saying yet, however it would be the man that sat in the sand with her who spoke up first. "The world we found outside the walls and the world I always dreamed of were nothing alike" his voice was shaky like he had been crying, like he was suffocating and upon closer inspection, beneath Eren's eyes laid faint stains of dried up tears that littered his cheeks.

Eren opened up his heart to the women before him while Mikasa stared at him not sure of where he was going with his words. "I wanted to level everything....to create this sight" Mikasa raised her arm up and used her shirts sleeve to wipe the tears building up in her eyes, only to be met by new scenery. She looked around in horror as the sky of the paths were replaced with the worlds beautiful blue sky with multiple white clouds floating around while on the ground, she and Eren now sat in an ocean of blood. The blood that belonged to all Eren's victims. "But I also wanted to be with you and lead a life where you and I could be together in a world without walls!" He cried as he slammed one of his fists into the liquid beneath them, splashing blood onto himself. It hurt her heart to witness Eren sound so upset to the point that he was even unable to produce tears from his eyes.
