Enjoy!
Mikasa shut her eyes as tight as she could. Sleep. But, she couldn't. Every time she closed her eyes, he would appear. That emerald-eyed, auburn-hair, rash boy whom she had fallen in love with all those years ago.
"What was he trying to tell me?" Mikasa pondered the conversation she and Eren had, when she believed that it was then end and they would be eaten by the same titan that devoured Eren's mother.
I'll wrap that scarf around you as many times as you want... We'll always be together!
"So then why," she thought, "Why do you keep pushing me away, Eren?"
Mikasa couldn't take it anymore. She didn't want him to push her too far away, too far for her to climb back. She stood up and crept out the door. Luckily, the only rooms that were downstairs were her's and Eren's. The old wooden cabin creaked slightly under her footsteps, but it wasn't enough to wake the rest of the squad.
She was about to open the door to Eren's room, but froze. What if- if I talk to him now, he'll push me away again? What if, this will make things worse? Mikasa quickly disposed of those thoughts. No, I have to tell him, I have to tell him how I feel. She took a deep breath, before opening the door.
Much to her surprise, Eren was lying on his bed, wide awake, even though it was the middle of the night. The moonlight provided a dull light in the room, and illuminated Eren's green orbs tenfold.
"Mikasa?" Eren whispered. "What are you doing here?"
She slowly closed the door behind her, and tiptoed towards his bed. His gleaming eyes did not leave her. "I was just checking up on you, to see if you were sleeping."
Eren sighed heavily and looked away from her, creating a small hole in her heart. Oh, how much she wanted those beautiful emerald eyes to be focused on her, and her only. He waited a moment before continuing, "I'm not your kid or baby brother, don't check up on me all the time. Go to sleep, you need it after all the training you did yesterday."
"I'm fine." She took a daring risk and sat on the edge of his bed.
His eyes returned to her. "So what are you doing here?"
This was killing her, it was like he really didn't want her around. But, she needed him, and she needed him now.
She lifted the sheets and slipped under the covers next to him. Even though she was not touching him, she could feel her muscles relaxing and her stress fading.
"M-Mikasa? What are you doing? If someone finds you here, it's going to get weird. We're not kids anymore, leave!" Eren whispered violently.
She couldn't take it anymore, tears started cascading down her face. She needed him, more than she could bear, she loved him more than she could bear. However, he didn't want her around at all. It felt like she was falling down a deep pit, and the scarf she wore wasn't enough to keep her latched. By the time she regained control over her emotions, Mikasa already latched onto him. She held him in a tight embrace, and collided her lips with his. The taste was of home, but of a home that didn't want her. Bittersweet. She scattered kisses all over his face, her tears dripping onto the bruises left behind.
Suddenly, her conscience broke in. What am I doing?She couldn't believe she had lost control like that. She just needed him, to feel him, something to tell her he was still here, next to her. She quickly removed herself from him, catching a glimpse of his startled expression, clearly not knowing what was going on. Mikasa let a sob loose, a loud one. I lost him. She attempted to run out the door, but something caught her wrist, she glanced down and noticed that it was Eren's hand.
