Dating the One I Hate

~Finding Out~

(Mikasa's POV)

"Are you sure you want to leave Eren home alone? After the fight you two had, and today, I think you should stay home." I shook my head and sighed.

"Eren...when he's like this, he doesn't like being around other people. But I'll make sure I comfort him when I come home tomorrow." Karline smiled.

"Okay, only if you're sure." I smiled up and her and nodded.

I reached up and ran my fingers through her fiery orangey brown hair. The roots and the shaved side on the left were black, and the black roots went into blond before the orange. The Unshaved hair, on the right side, curled under and met at her chin.

What I loved most about my girlfriend was her eyes. And icy platinum blue, with a brown ring around her pupil.

"What?"

"Nothing. Just admiring you." She laughed and wrapped her arms tightly around me.

"Why are you so gushy when you and I are alone?" I shrugged.

"I guess you bring out the best in me." She grinned and flushed slightly at this.

"You know, you and Eren are very much alike. He may have only gotten in a relationship, but he's gushy too. I think it happens when you two are happy?" I bit my lip, a look of forlorn replacing my smile.

"Yeah..." Karline frowned.

"What did I say??" I swallowed.

"I promised Eren I wouldn't tell. But you're my girlfriend. And I can't keep secrets from you."

"It's alright, if you don't want to."

"No, it's fine. Eren and Levi aren't really dating."

"What?!"

"Apparently Levi decided to fake date my brother to help him out."

"If there weren't feelings, why would he go through all the trouble? Even fight with you twice..."

"Apparently him doing it was because he wanted to say sorry, and felt bad."

"Hmm..." She thought before continuing. "Well, I think you're wrong. They may not be actually dating, but I know they love each other."

"Do you really think so?"

"Of course." I nodded.

"As much as I dislike Levi, I really hope so. My brother deserves to be happy. I mean, I didn't believe it, I didn't want to believe it, at first, but Levi makes him happy. You've probably seen it, too. I don't want to admit it, but that's what made me believe."

"I do think you were very wrong...picking a fight with him. But he fought you, for Eren."

"True. He refused to break up with him too. I assumed it was because he didn't want to break his vow. But maybe Levi does love my bother."

"And think of it this way," she continued, pecking me on the lips, "Knowing the guy Levi is, why would he go out of his way, for someone of his past, let alone a nerd, if he didn't have feelings for him?" She chuckled, and I let out a breathy laugh in return.

"You know, the sad thing is, that's actually true." She nodded, and took my hand.

"All that aside, I don't know about you, but I am pooped from volley ball. So let's get to bed. We can watch some movies? I got that latest addition of Into the Woods."

"With Johnny Depp?" She grinned and nodded.

"You know me too well!" I mused. Don't tell anyone but I love musicals. I got that from Eren. He's an art prodigy, from music, to culinary, and actual art, including acting and dancing, which are things as an athlete I couldn't do. So listening to him, made me secretly like the art.
