Ten Thousand Needles (Yandere!Eren x Mikasa)

Between a Truth and Lie

"Jean, you're not thinking straight! Just calm down for a sec! Let me explain it to you!" Mikasa demanded as Jean continued to defend her against his greatest enemy.

"I know what I've been through, Mikasa! I will not let him do the same for you!" Jean argued as he kept the Asian girl close to him.

"Jean, put the phone down." Eren calmly spoke as he slowly walked towards Jean's bed.

The defensive man flinched from Eren's movement, holding the phone to his ear.

"Hello? 911? Hello?" Jean called as he watched Eren standing beside his bed, watching the two from a far distance.

It all happened so fast for him. Did he even dial the number right? He swore he tapped 9-1-1 but... No one picked up. 

Jean didn't want to try again. Eren was far too close to the bed and God knows what that young psychotic man has up his sleeve. 

"Eren..... Why are you here? You know that you're not supposed to be here." Jean panted, feeling nervous.

"......." Eren stayed quiet, slowly reaching for the button hidden in Jean's bed, stealthily tapping the button to call the nurse within Jean's blind spot.

"W-What did you do?" Jean asked as Eren lightly responded with a quick shrug and awkward smile.

"Jean? Stop this." Mikasa softly comforted the alerted man.

"W-Why? Don't you know what he did to me?? Have you lost your mind?" Jean replied.

"You were hit by a car. Eren took you in. The doctors fed you some sort of drug to help numb the pain while they stitched you up." Mikasa explained.

"..... What?" Jean raised a brow, keeping his eyes on Eren.

"You hit your head pretty bad, Jean. Just listen to me---"

"Mr. Kirstein?" The nurse finally came in time with a clipboard to obstruct the intense scene between two rivals.

"Perfect timing." Eren smiled, approaching the exit door where the nurse stood.

"Mr. Kirstein, please go back to bed. You need your rest." The nurse kindly commanded.

"Please kick him out. I don't want to see this guy." Jean glared at Eren as he voluntarily stepped out of the room. The nurse assisted Jean to get him on bed yet he stopped her, giving the gesture that he can handle this simple task alone. Mikasa stepped away and stood behind the nurse.

"Mikasa... I know I'm not crazy..." Jean sighed as he got under his sheets while the nurse did a quick check up on him.

"You just need more rest." Mikasa responded as she slowly backs away and out the door.

"I'll be back in a bit and we'll try this again." The Asian nodded before she left.

"B-But....!" Jean quickly shot up from his bed yet the pain reminded him to stay calm. He rests his back on the pillow, staring into the ceiling.

Mikasa met up with Eren who sat beside Armin nearby.

"Well? Did he buy it? I heard from Eren that Jean was panicking." Armin wondered.

"He's still...." Mikasa shook her head, drifting off in her own sentence.

"Well, we gotta convince him that he was involved in a hit and run accident. If he keeps the truth, Eren will have to pay the price." Armin explained.

".... I can try to convince him again." Eren smiled.

Mikasa noticed Eren's hand turned to fists that rested on his lap as soon as he stated his plan. 

"Eren, no..." Mikasa denied.
