Wherever I Go

Chapter Thirty

Third Person POV

Its been a few days after Mikasa had recovered from her injuries and she invited Eren over for breakfast. Apparently, Hange came over for a visit, and she was cooking for the four of them. Levi didn't have to go to work until later in the day. Hange, and sometimes Erwin, was coming over to hang out and talk with him more often.

"How do you like your coffee, Levi?" Hange asked the short male while she was fixing her own drink.

"I usually drink tea." he answered. Hange gave him a thumbs ups and went to make him some tea.

A few short moments later, Eren was knocking on the door. "I'll get it!" Mikasa informed the two in the kitchen and rushed to answer the door. She opened the door and let Eren come in.

Eren followed Mikasa and they sat down next to each other at the table while Hange was fixing plates. "It smells good." Eren spoke up. Hange had made a normal breakfast, which was some bacon, eggs and pancakes.

"Hmm... not bad, four-eyes..." Levi commented as Hange set his plate down in from of him, along with his cup of tea. Hange flashed him a smile, then she set Eren and Mikasa's plates down too. After she did that, she sat down next to Levi and started to eat off from her own plate.

When everyone was finished, they stacked their plates up and Levi took them to put in the sink. He didn't like anyone else cleaning around the house. It had to be done by him.

"So, Mikasa..." Eren said, getting her attention. "You know, we've never really went on a first date..."

"I guess we haven't..." Mikasa replied, looking him in the eyes.

"S-so then, would you like to go on one this evening?" he asked nervously, scratching the back of his head as his face started turning a shade of pink.

"I'd love to." she replied, giving him a warm smile.

"Great!" he responded, a smile forming on his lips as well. "So, how about seven o' clock then?"

"Sure," she answered, "Sounds okay to me."

Eren gave a nod, "Alright. I'm gonna go back to my place and take a shower and stuff."

"Hey, I was gonna do the same thing." Mikasa said and giggled. Eren giggled as well.

"Why don't you two just take one together?" Hange suggested and started snickering right after the words left her mouth. Levi sent a glare towards her.

Eren laughed at the suggestion at first.

"Haha, yeah why don't we just- WAIT, WHAT!?"

Eren processed what Hange had said. Both him and Mikasa started madly blushing. "Shut the hell up, four-eyes." Levi growled at her, hitting her on the arm with the back of his hand.

"I was just kidding, I swear." Hange assured, trying to hide her laughter. Levi rolled his eyes at the woman and put the now clean dishes on the dish drainer to dry.

"A-anyways..." Eren decided to change the subject quickly. Mikasa returned her gaze towards him, ignoring the faint blushes on both of their faces. "I'll see you later." he said.

"Okay, see you later." Mikasa replied. Eren sneaked a quick peck on her lips before leaving her apartment and heading over towards his next door. While he was doing that, Mikasa waited and got ready for their date.

On time, Eren showed up at Mikasa's doorstep. After taking in each other's appearances, they were ready to leave.

They decided to walk to their destination. Eren didn't mention what his idea for the date was, but since Eren was carrying a basket along with them, Mikasa could assume that it was a picnic.

She was right; Eren led them to the park down the street.

"Sorry if this is boring..." Eren sighed.

Mikasa looked over at him, a smile appearing on her lips, "It wont be, as long as I get to spend time with you."

Eren grinned, "A-alright then, let's go..."

After Eren led Mikasa to a deserted place in the park, they sat down on the blanket they had  and began eating the food Eren brought with them in the basket.

The food he brought was two small containers of warm spaghetti; that he cooked himself. There was also two small cups and a bottle filled with tea, and some slices of pie Eren bought for desert.

"I have no idea how a good meal works." Eren nervously laughed, looking over what he had brought.

"I remember that from a while ago when we had to go shopping together for food." Mikasa laughed, then added, "But this is fine, I like it."

With that, the started eating their food and talking. When they finished their spaghetti, they ate the desert as well.

The sky was now growing a dark shade of blue, and a few lamp posts nearby where they were sitting were turning on, illuminating the sidewalk and benches.

"Wow, it's pretty out." Mikasa commented as Eren was putting up the food and containers.

He glanced upwards as well, looking at the starry sky. "Yeah, it is." he agreed, then sat next to her on the blanket.

After they spent a while talking, they both laid down, gazing up at the night sky. Even thought it was a bit dark, besides the distant lamp posts that illuminated some places, Eren managed to find Mikasa's hand and he held it, intertwining their fingers.

"You know, I used to hate being an Ackerman..." Mikasa began quietly, then continued, "But now I'm glad that I am..."

Eren turned his head to face her, "What do you mean?"

"Because if I wasn't, I never would have got to meet you." Mikasa replied, turning her head to face him as well, lifting the corners her lips upwards into a into a sweet smile.

Eren gave her a smile in return. Then he leaned forward and placed a warm, gentle kiss on her lips, using his free hand to support him while he did so.

When they were ready, it was a little after nine o' clock. They grabbed their stuff and walked back home together, hand in hand.

At their doors, they both turned to face each other. They were still holding hands.

"I had a fun time, thank you." Mikasa thanked him, using her free hand to tuck a strand of her black hair behind her ear.

"I did too." Eren replied. He gently let go of her hand and leaned in for a hug.

After releasing her from the hug, Eren drew near and wrapped his hands around her waist, pulling her into another kiss; but this one was longer and more passionate.

When they parted, both of their faces were red, and they were both smiling like idiots.

"Goodnight, Mikasa."

"Goodnight, Eren."

After that they both quietly went inside their doors, so they could ready to go to bed after what seemed like a long night.

But, they had both enjoyed it.

(A/N: Sorry, this was rushed, I really just wanted to hurry up and get it done because its late at night and I need to go to sleep soon. I tried to add a tiny bit of humor and fluff. And that ending was cheesy, sorry about that. Anyways, I hope you liked it!)
