Eremika:When The Time Is Right

33.Park

The group dash towards the airport, taking the first flight which leads them home, wasting no time loitering around;they were unsafe.Their bags stuffed with only essentials.

The reach the house, Eren pushing levi on the wheelchair, Mikasa pulling open the door.Hange is at her house,she wished to stay and help him,but levi insisted she go home and rest.
He breathes in the fresh air of his long awaited home as he whispers,"I'm back".

Eren pushes him to his room,levi limping out if his chair onto his bed, looking up at Eren who has a concerned look on his face.

"What is it ?"Levi asks,interrogativel

"What do we do now ,Zeke almost killed Mikaasa,how do we know that moving back here will be safer?"

Levi passes and thinks for a moment,his hands clasped together.
"He's not allowed to come around here,due to this being pure Ackerman territory" levi answers

The two men both look unpleased.

"That doesn't stop him from hurting her right?" Eren asks, looking up at Levi in confirmation.

"Yes .that's the issue"

--------

Eren and Mikasa are walking through the park to buy groceries.The awkward fog filling the air as they stroll through the fruitful landscape,in which they used to wonder together in love,of she even remembers
Mikasa, sinks into her scarf as the coldness of the night crawls up her spine, shivering.The bag hitting against their legs as they walk

Suddenly,she stumbles on to a rock, forcing Eren,in instinct,to reflex to catch her,his hands gripping her soft shoulders,helping her regain her balance.

"Thanks"she utters shyly,a soft red rising on her cheeks.

As they continue walking, muttering a few words here and there it's time for Mikasa to go home.

"I'll be heading back now"She says, stopping at the road leading to the alleyway which leads to her house

"Stay safe Mikasa, should I walk you back -"

"Non,no,it's fine"she immediately interrupteds him, hoping she doesn't cause him any inconvenience "it's already late,see you later Eren" she says, smiling as she walks of,her hands encased in her pockets.

He watches her making sure she gets safe,until she's out of his sight before he continues walking down the dark pathway.

As Erens strolling in the dark pavement,his hood over his head,the dark night sky shadowing his face,the only ,his green orbs shining through.

Scraping of the pavement,like somebody is walking behind him,he turns slightly backwards, careful to not look too obvious,but at angle where he's able to see thean from the corner of his eye.
Weird.Eren thinks.

He continues on his journey, thinking about Mikasa,angry that they're relationship is not as it was before.He feels a clench in his heart,he misses the Mikasa he could freely love but now it's like talking to a stranger.He loves her and that's the problem.q

A slash of a knife
Eren ducks down as the sharp slash sound was inches away from his ear.
He twists around, pulling out his gun from his pocket and pointing it at the insane man,with a eerie frown and with blood thirsty eyes.

Breathing rapidly, Eren attempts to reason with the crazy man,but he doesn't listen,willing to slash at his throat,his head,his hand; whatever it is the anger-driven stranger wants to kill Eren.

"Your a disgrace to us yeagers"he growls, leveing Eren caught off guard as he stumbles on the ground..

The man crouches over him, knife in hand and a raging expression on him.
"Your disctiscusting-"
Suddenly Eren grabs his gun and shoots him in the jaw.

The now frozen man, with a hole in his jaw,blood oozing from his mouth,lays pathetically at the sidewalk.

"A-ckeram and y-aegers are a sin"he coughs out,blood spattering out .
Eren stands dumbfounded,how could he know-
"You will regret this'the man finally sprws out,before his eyes close,leaving a bleeeding body and a mind full of questions for Eren.

Eren pov

I shakily grab my phone and call Levi.The number dialling.
I thought we were safe here.How could someone find out about me and Mikasa being friends.

"Hello"at the sound of Levi's voice I hurriedly place the phone on my ear and tell him what happened.

With a kiss of his teeth ,and a pause for his thoughtfulness Levi replies"it seems some of your Clan found out your friends with us"

I question him,asking him what does that mean,is it Zeke's fault.

"No,no it's not Zeke's fault, staying in Germany probably made things more
obvious that you were fighting on Mikasas side, they're not happy about that"he pauses.
I ask him what I should do.

"The best things to do is act oblivious,norma,at this point nothings confirmed for them, they'll only strike if they feel our friendship is a threat"

"Whos they?"I ask

"The clan"
