Eren X Mikasa - Mikasa's Birthday!

Eren's Pov:

I waited patiently for Mikasa to come out of her room and come downstairs. I was in a hallway with my best friend Armin, waiting to wish Mikasa a happy birthday.

"So.." Armin said, looking at me with a sideways glance through his long blonde hair. "What've you got her for her birthday?" He asked.

I sighed, looking towards the floor, and said "If i'm honest Armin, I completely forgot it was Mikasa's birthday. I haven't got her anything other than a makeshift card I made for her in a old envelope I had."

Armin frowned, "Oh, well I'm sure she'll understand, besides, your probably the best birthday present she could get." He said, a gleam in his eyes.

I frowned at Armin, narrowing my eyes slightly, "And what is that meant to me Armin?" I asked slowly.

Armin tired hiding a smirk by looking away, but failing badly. "Well, we all know Mikasa has certain feelings towards a certain male member of the survey corps." He explained, trying not to smile as he looked into my eyes.

I blinked in confusion, as far as I could tell, I don't think Mikasa has the same feelings I have for her as she has for me.

'She might just think that I'm her adopted brother, and can't be anything else, even more..' I thought sadly, before turning back to Armin.

"Really? Who?" I asked sadly, knowing that whoever Armin said would not be me. It would probably be Levi or Jean.

"You. Eren, your such a idiot at times. How can you not tell she has feelings for you?? You're not blind, you must have noticed she cares and thinks a lot of you." Armin explained, looking me serious in the eyes.

I opened my mouth to speak before a *bang* from upstairs, signalled that Mikasa had come out of her room and was on the way downstairs.

"Armin! Hide! And do the others know what to do?" I whispers quickly, ducking to the side of the hallway, hiding just next to the stairs, just enough to be out of sight.

Armin turned and scuttled the other side of the stairs, and copied me, but on the other side of the stair case. "Yes, they're all in the main hall." He said, quickly but quietly.

I nodded in reply, and ducked my head down so I was fully out of sight.

A *bang bang bang* coming from the top of the stairs told me that Mikasa was probably on her way down.

I looked up and peeked over the stair rail and signalled to Armin to duck, and that Mikasa would be coming downstairs any minute now.

A soft creak made the final noise as Mikasa reached the bottom of the stairs and carried on walking down the hall, her dark hair sprawling behind her.

I held up my hand to Armin and made a three with my fingers, then a two, then a 1, then pointed towards Mikasa.

We both made a sneaky, quiet run towards her, before we both jumped and put two hands on her shoulders and shouted 'boo!' loudly.

Mika's gasped and turned around in surpirse, he beautiful eyes wide with surprise.

"Arrg! Eren! Armin! Why do you guys like creeping around?" She asked, hitting me on the shoulder lightly.

"Only cause its fun." Armin said playfully, a gleam in his eyes.

I stepped forward towards Mikasa, holding out the envelope with a badly made makeshift card in it. "Happy birthday Mikasa." I said, smiling.

Mikasa blushed a little, "Thankyou Eren." She said, taking the envelope from me.

"Happy birthday." Armin said, passing Mikasa a card in a blue envelope and a small wrapped up box.
