Wherever I Go

Chapter Sixteen

Third Person POV

It's been a day after the surprise attack and the group of friends, including Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Jean, Sasha, Connie, Bertholdt and Reiner decided to have lunch together at a nearby diner. Everyone was going except for Annie, because she didn't feel like going out, Ymir and Christa, who was busy, and Marco.

It was getting warmer outside by each day that passed by.

"Where's Marco?" Sasha spoke up, walking up to one side of Jean on the sidewalk, while Connie approached the other. They were walking, since it wasn't that far.

"I don't know. I tried calling him twice today, and he didn't answer." Jean answered with a puzzled look. "I haven't seen him for a few days..."

"Do you think somethings wrong?" Connie questioned.

Jean gave a nervous laugh, "I hope not."

The conversation grew silent as they approached the diner. Reiner held the door open for everyone, then let the door close behind him when everyone was in. They sat at an empty booth that was big enough to sit all eight of them. The waitress came by and they all ordered their drinks. After a few minutes of chatting later, the waitress came back with their drinks and then took all of their food orders.

"So, what are you guys doing for the rest of spring break?" Armin decided to ask, taking a sip from his drink.

"Nothing interesting." Connie and Sasha both answered.

"Nothing." Eren replied. "Unless Mikasa's doing something."

"I'm not doing anything." Mikasa responded.

Bertholdt just shrugged. "Something fun hopefully." Reiner answered.

"I would be doing something fun with my best friend." Jean sighed, then pouted, "But he wont answer his phone."

"What about you?" Bertholdt asked Armin.

"Same as you guys, nothing." Armin answered.

"Hey, we should all go to the beach or something!" Sasha excitedly suggested.

"Ohh that sounds fun!" Connie commented.

"Yeah." Jean agreed.

"We can meet some beach babes." Reiner said, then elbowed Jean, who gave a laugh.

"I love the ocean." Armin commented.

While they were discussing plans, the waitress brought everyone their food. After she left, everyone began eating their meal. Sasha and Connie trades a few pieces of food, sharing.

They all ate in silence for a few minutes, until Sasha noticed Mikasa looking at her and Connie a few times. "Is something wrong?" Sasha spoke up.

"Huh?" Mikasa asked, snapping back to reality. "Oh, sorry. I was just wondering..."

"Hm?" Sasha hummed, putting another piece of bread in her mouth.

"How long have you and Connie been dating?"

Sasha nearly choked on her bread. "Eh?!"

"You think we're dating?" Connie questioned, raising an eyebrow.

Then the entire table erupted into laughter, while Connie and Sasha's faces both turned a light shade of red. "Oh, you're not?" Mikasa innocently asked.'

"N-no." Sasha answered, "Why would you think that?"

"Well... you two seem close." Mikasa replied.

For the rest of the time the group discussed different topics while they ate. When everyone was done eating, they each pitched in some money to pay for the meal. After that, they left, parting their ways.

"Hey, Mikasa!" Jean called from behind Mikasa and Eren, who was walking side by side back home. Jean was jogging up to them, trying to catch up to the two.

"Great..." Eren mumbled under his breath, "It's horseface."

Mikasa turned around to see Jean, who just caught up. "Oh, hi Jean." Mikasa greeted him.

"Hello." he said, then pulled out something from his pocket while they walked. "I got movie tickets for that new movie, would ya like to go with me?"

"Oh, what movie?" Mikasa asked. Eren just stood there, staring at Jean with an annoyed expression.

Jean then realized Mikasa wouldn't take his offer now, "It's that new horror movie. But, if you don't like those kind of movies, I can get tickets to another-"

"I like horror movies." Mikasa interrupted. "I heard that movie was sold out."

"Great!" Jean said, his eyes basically sparkling. "And yeah, it was. I got some of the last three tickets."

"Three?" Mikasa questioned, eyeing the extra ticket in his hand.

Jean sighed before answering, "Yeah, Marco was supposed to go too but he never answered his phone. I don't know who else to take."

"Well that's great, because I'm her bodyguard, and I have to be with her all the time that she's out somewhere." Eren cut in, taking the extra ticket from Jean with a smirk. Jean gritted his teeth in annoyance, "Right..."

Then he handed Mikasa the other ticket, "Here's yours."

"Thanks." Mikasa thanked him, then tucked the ticket into her pocket. "What time?"

"Tonight at eight is the showing I though was good." Jean answered, "That sound okay?"

"Sure." Mikasa answered, then looked over at Eren. He nodded in agreement.

"Great then, it's a date. Plus Eren." Jean said, "See ya later then!"

With that, he went on his way somewhere else, parting himself from Eren and Mikasa. Mikasa's eyes widened a bit and she started slowing down her walking speed. "Mikasa, what's wrong?" Eren asked, noticing that she was now a few steps behind him.

"Did he say a date...?"
