Reader's POV

Mikasa and Eren have been friends since they were little along with their buddy Armin. Along the way their feelings towards each other have grown. They both like each other but don't know about each other's crushes.

As the final days of school approached, the air was filled with excitement and a bit of melancholy. Graduation was on the horizon, and for Mikasa, Eren, and Armin, life was about to change. They had been inseparable since they were kids, but with the possibility of going their separate ways after school, it was hard to ignore the growing tension, especially between Mikasa and Eren.

Both had silently nursed feelings for each other over the years, yet neither knew how the other felt. Mikasa, always cool and collected on the outside, couldn't shake the nervous flutter in her chest whenever Eren was around. Eren, who usually faced everything head-on, found himself hesitant. He knew this could be his last chance to ask her to the school dance, but the fear of rejection weighed heavily on him.

As they walked home together after school one day, the topic of the dance finally came up. Armin had casually mentioned how everyone was talking about it, and Mikasa seemed unfazed, as usual, though she secretly hoped Eren would ask her.

"So, are you guys going to the dance?" Armin asked, glancing at Eren.

"I don't know yet," Eren said, trying to sound nonchalant while his heart raced. He glanced at Mikasa, who was walking beside him, her usual calm demeanor masking any nerves she might feel.

Mikasa looked over at him. "I haven't really thought about it," she said quietly, though that wasn't entirely true. She had thought about it a lot, especially about whether Eren would ask her to go.

There was an awkward pause, and Armin gave Eren a slight nudge.

"You should ask her now, before it's too late," he whispered

"Anyway I gotta head to the lab see you guys later!" Armin said winking at Eren.

Eren and Mikasa continue to walk the halls as they head to the spot they sit at for lunch. They were both silent waiting for the other to say something. Eren took a deep breath. This was it.

"Mikasa... about the dance..." He began, his voice a little shaky. "Would you want to go with me?" He forced himself to look at her, afraid of what her response might be. Mikasa blinked, momentarily caught off guard, though inside her heart soared. She had waited for this moment, and now that it was here, she could hardly believe it.

"I'd like that," She replied softly, a rare smile gracing her lips. Eren exhaled in relief, a grin breaking across his face.

"Really?" Eren asked, showing his happiness. Mikasa nodded, her smile growing a little wider. "Yeah, really," she said, her voice soft but certain. She glanced down for a moment, feeling her cheeks warm as she tried to keep her calm demeanor, but inside, she was thrilled.

Eren couldn't hide his excitement. His heart felt like it was racing, but in the best way. "I've wanted to ask you for a while now," he admitted, his grin not fading. "Just... didn't know how."

Mikasa chuckled lightly, meeting his eyes again. "You could've asked me sooner, you know," she teased, the tension between them easing. "I was kind of waiting for it."

"Wait, really?" Eren's eyes widened. He was genuinely surprised, but in hindsight, he realized there had been moments when it seemed like Mikasa was waiting for him to make a move. He was just too nervous to believe it.
