Wherever I Go

Chapter Thirty-Two

Third Person POV

Two days later, Reiner, Bertholdt and Annie went to find Eren and Mikasa. When they didn't get no answer from knocking on their doors, they went and asked Sasha where the two lovers were.

"Why do you guys want to know...?" Sasha asked, not opening the door more than a crack. She didn't trust these three anymore.

"Please, we need to know." Bertholdt pleaded.

"It's urgent." Reiner added.

"They're at the cafe a few blocks away..." Sasha hesitantly answered.

"Thank you!" Bertholdt thanked her. She just nodded and quickly shut the door, not wanting to make contact with them any longer.

"Thanks for taking me out." Mikasa thanked Eren, who was sitting across from her at a table. It was around noon.

"Anything for you." Eren smiled as he finished his drink. Then he called for the waitress to bring the receipt and got a drink to-go.

"What do you want to do later?" Mikasa questioned as the waitress came over.

"We could just hang out if you want." Eren answered and left a tip, then got up payed at the register. Mikasa followed close behind him out the door. They didn't drive here so they had to walk home. They walked along the sidewalk, passing by a lot of the city's scenery.

The two walked side by side in silence, watching everything around them. Mikasa adjusted her scarf, and Eren noticed this from the corner of his eye. Seeing how hot she looked, he sighed. It was sunny outside and it felt very humid.

"Why don't you take it off? I don't want you to have a heat stroke." he spoke up, glancing at her. She just shrugged her shoulders in response. "Here," he began and extended his hand towards her, unwrapping the scarf from her neck. She watched as he wrapped it around his neck instead.

"You didn't have to..." Mikasa said.

"It's fine." Eren assured. The scarf smelled like her; perfume and laundry detergent. Levi must wash it a lot.

They both got quiet again as they continued to walk.

"Those kids are so cute..." Mikasa quietly commented, glancing over at the kids on the playground.

"Ours would be cuter." Eren responded, his sentence coming out before he could think it over.

Mikasa's face turned started turning more red than it was, and it wasn't because of the heat. Eren blushed as well.

"Have you thought much about your future?" Mikasa asked, turning her gaze from the kids to him.

Eren nodded, "If we're still together, which I hope we are, I was thinking about getting married and starting a family." he started, "You know, if you want too..."

Mikasa gave a him a warm smile. "What about you?" he asked the question in return.

"Same..." Mikasa answered, "As long as I'm with you, I think everything will be okay."

Eren flashed her a smile. "Hey, you'll be a great mom," he said, "If you've took care of me, you can take care of kids."

Mikasa playfully punched him in the nearest shoulder.

"Ow!" he cried, holding his shoulder while holding his drink cup as well.

"Sorry!" she quickly apologized, forgetting how strong she was.

He laughed it off, "It's okay, I like having a strong girlfriend."

She smiled, tucking a strand of black hair behind her ear. Eren reached over with his free hand and took her nearest hand, intertwining their fingers together. He swung their arms back and fourth playfully as they walked.

After turning a few corners, they came to the quiet backstreet that lead to their apartment complex. The wind was slowly picking up, causing cherry blossoms to fall from their trees and scatter in the wind. Just like you'd see in an anime.

Suddenly, a small circular device rolled out in front of the two.

Eren looked down at the small object, "What the hell is this thing?"

Not knowing what it was, he slightly kicked it, watching it roll around. Then, a red light flashed and some type of vapor began coming out of it. "Huh?" Eren and Mikasa both said as they exchanged glances.

After inhaling the vapor, both Eren and Mikasa passed out.

Stepping out of the shadows, a man dressed in black and brown came out. He was wearing circular glasses and had shaggy blonde hair, along with a mustache that descended down to his beard.

"Got you." he spoke to himself, lifting Eren off the ground. He grabbed Mikasa as well, not wanting to leave her behind.

He made his way over towards his car and opened the back seat, carefully placing both of the teens inside. Once he had them in there, he got in the drivers seat and cranked the engine of his car.

The sky was suddenly beginning to look gray.
