Shocking News

Mikasa's POV

For a moment I stood dumbfounded, unable to process what I just heard.

''Your-your wife? What do you mean 'your wife'?'' I asked again. I looked at Hanji and Levi, Hanji could only smile sympathetically while Levi looked as if he was trying to figure out how to explain. ''Well?'' I asked again, glad that we had went somewhere private.

''I know that this is something that is hard to absorb, but its true.'' Hanji says.

''Mikasa, you asked why we have the same name, that is why. On your first birthday, your mom and dad both arranged you to be married to me.'' Levi says, looking at the ground.

''But I dont remember mom or dad saying anything about that. I mean I honestly just thought you were some sort of cousin, brother, uncle, something. But I never thought you were my-my husband.'' I said, putting quotations around the word husband when I said it.

''Yes Mikasa, its true. And the reason why your parents never told you was because they weren't supposed to tell you when you were young, and they died before you could get old enough to be told.'' Levi says, looking up from the ground to look at me. 'Well that does make sense--wait, does he?'

''You don't expect me to just be all right with this and marry you cause that is never going to happen.'' I said , glaring at the both of them. Levi slightly flinched before saying.

''No I don't expect you to, but-but. Nevermind.'' Levi says before getting up and leaving. The door shuts behind him. I feel Hanji come up behind me and put a hand on my shoulder in reassurance. I looked up at her to see her smiling down on me.

''Its okay, I know that this is alot, but please, just think about it.'' Hanji says before patting me on the back once more and then leaving through the door. I stare at the door and then walk out, going straight to my room to think. I open my door and go inside, after I close it back I flop on my bed and close my eyes. I mean, he could be lying, but then what would he get out of this? But if he is telling the truth....if its the truth then what is the reason? Why my parents never said anything about this? Why didn't Levi say anything about this when he first met me? What am I going to do? I groan inwardly before covering my face with my hands. I rollover onto my back and stare at the wall. Maybe I can think more on this after I take a nap.

I get up 30 minutes later when I hear someone knock on my door.

''Coming.'' I said groggily, as I rub my eyes and shuffle to the door. I open my door to see Eren and Armin standing outside. I look down to see Eren holding some rolls and some juice. I moved aside so they could come in the room. Me and Armin sat on the bed, while Eren pulled a chair to sit on.

''I noticed that you didn't eat breakfast after what happened. So I bought you some food cause I thought that you might be hungry.'' Eren says as he puts the rolls and juice in front of me. At fist I wasn't going to accept it, but at the mention of breakfast made my stomach growl. So I grab one and mumble a thanks.

''After Eren told me what happened, we try to look for you but couldn't find you. What happend?'' Armin asks, playing with the corners of the blanket. 'Should I tell them what happened?'

''Nothing happend, just went to ask Levi some questions and then came back to take a nap.'' I replied back. 'Well thats not entirely a lie, I did ask him some questions and I did take a nap.' I grab a roll and start eating it. For a while there was a comfortable silence untill Eren broke it.

''Well after you left everyone kinda gotten mad at Xavier and stuff, One person stole his food while he wasn't looking. The way his face got though when Captain Levi talked to him was funny.'' he says, smiling.

''Yeah, he went from the smoothest, most confident person to a mewling kitten.'' Armin says laughing. I smile and drunk some of my juice. For the next 30 minutes we talked until someone knocked on my door. ''Come in.'' I said, trying to swallow the last bit of my roll. The door opened to reveal a small statured girl, with dark brown hair and deep chocolate eyes. I think her name is Charolette.

''Captain Levi needs everyone in the main room to discuss the next patrol.'' she says, looking at the ground.

''Okay will do Charolette.'' Armin says as he smiles at her. The girl looks up, I guess shocked that we had used her name, then she smiles and leaves. 'Wait did she say Captain Levi?' My stomach does a flip at the mention of his name. I watch as Eren and Armin get up and go to the door.

''Are you coming, Mikasa?'' Armin asks.

''Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm coming.'' I said as I get up from the bed and go to the door with them. Afterwards we go to the main room. We file in with the rest of everybody and take our seats. Levi comes in and goes to the front, I feel his eyes on me but I don't look up. He then started talking.

''Okay so for this morning's patrol, we will have Charolette, Lizzy, Hanji, me, Kanan, and...Mikasa.'' He says. I feel my heart beat faster as I find out that I am in the same group that he is in. Again. ''We will leave in 30 minutes,'' he continues, ''that will give you enough time to get your gear on and suited up. Anyone not there or is late will be on cleaning duty for the next two days. The rest of you while I am gone, I expect all of you to be respectful towards our rules and compliances.'' He concluded. After that everyone scattered to do what they had to do.

''Awww, you're lucky. You get to be on Morning Patrol.'' Eren says, nudging me in the arm.

''Yeah, and you are on the same group as Levi.'' Armin says.

'Yeah, so lucky.' I think as I go to suit up.
