Wherever I Go

Chapter Twenty-Five

Third Person POV

Both Eren and Mikasa woke up the next morning, almost at the same time. When Mikasa had shifted around, it had woken Eren up as well. The puppy was nowhere to be seen at the moment, it must have woke up as well and left the couch.

"Looks like we fell asleep..." Eren spoke up and yawned, stretching out his arms as he sat up. "Sorry for uh... falling asleep on your lap."

"I didn't mind." Mikasa assured and flashed him a gentle smile. He gave one in return and glanced up at the clock on her wall, which currently read 10:05 AM.

They heard footsteps coming from another room, then Levi's bedroom door slowly opened. Today he had the day off from work, it was a Sunday. Levi walked out in his plain white tank top and pajama bottoms, looking over at the two teens on the couch.

"Well you two seemed to sleep well, I couldn't wake either of you up last night. Your positions looked uncomfortable."

Eren and Mikasa exchanged glances, then looked back over at him. Eren felt nervous around Levi. "S-sorry for falling asleep here sir..." he apologized.

Levi stared at him, "I don't care if you sleep here brat, just don't try anything stupid. If you do, I assure you that I'll cut off one of your lizard hands, slowly and painfully so it takes it a while to grow back."

"Y-yes sir." Eren stuttered, frightened by his threat. Levi nodded and headed into the kitchen, making him a cup of tea or something. Eren let out a sigh of relief, then turned to Mikasa. "So..."

"Hm?"

"Are we like... um..." he began, his face growing red. He was keeping his voice quiet, so he wasn't saying all of this to where Levi could hear. "I mean last night you said you liked me-"

"You mean like boyfriend and girlfriend?" Mikasa cut him off, trying to help him out. He looked nervous.

"Y-yeah."

"I-I don't know... are we?" Mikasa nervously laughed, "I've never had a boyfriend before..."

She was right. In all her life, she hasn't had a boyfriend. Not even a crush. She never really cared enough for one person. The only family she had was Levi, and that was all. Now Eren was in her life, and she cared deeply for him. There was a spot in her heart for him now.

Eren may have had small crushes on girls in elementary school or junior high, but those weren't like how he felt now. He's never really had a girlfriend. As much time as he's spent with Mikasa now, he knows how much he cares about her. Her safety was his priority.

"D-do you want to be?" he asked in a stutter, scratching the back of his head. His face was turning a bright shade of red.

"I'd love to." Mikasa answered, giving him a smile.

"I hate to interrupt your little love fest over there," Levi started, cutting into the conversation, "But why the hell is there a dog in the kitchen?!"

Eren and Mikasa exchanged glances, "U-uh..."

After explaining what happened yesterday, Levi just gave a sigh, not seeming to care. He told Eren that it couldn't stay here and he wouldn't tell Erwin unless it was brought up.

Soon, Eren went home, agreeing to see Mikasa at the 'end of school year' party their friends are having tonight on the roof. He brought the puppy back with him.

The party began at eight o' clock. There was music playing, soda and some snacks Sasha had brought.There was a few folding tables set up and some chairs. It was a simple party. The sky was turning a shade of pink, slowly growing darker by the minute as the sun was setting on the horizon.
