Eren X Mikasa, Summer

6, Only so Much

Mikasa

"Well here ya are." Jean said as we finally reached the two story house. "Thanks for walking me home, Jean." I said as I stopped my bike besides him. "It's no problem at all." He smiled gently at me. I smiled back with a small nod and a bright pink came to his face.

Why did he always blush every time I smiled or giggled? This was becoming too strange... "Well see ya later?" I said as I held my hand out for him to shake. He glanced between my hand and my face and pulled me into a hug instead.

I felt a sudden rise of butterflies in my stomach as my head was pressed against his soft warm chest. I slowly wrapped my arms around his waist and hugged back feeling my face flush instantly.
"Goodnight. Talk to ya soon." Jean said as we pulled away from the hug that felt like forever. "Night." I flashed him a smile and strolled my bike to the side of the house as Jean pedaled away.

  I was walking up stairs after having a warm cup of tea with Petra and talked some things over and caught up.

I'm really starting to like Petra, in a way she feels like my mother... memories start to flash back, I quickly push the thought aside. No time to think about that right now.

   Before I could reach my room, Satan's best friend was at my doorway with his arms crossed, a sneer across his face.

  "What do you-"
"Why were you with Jean?" He asked with a stern tone.
"That's none of your business, now excuse me-" I pushed my way past him but he stepped in front of me.
"Answer my question." He barked.

  "It's none of your business, Eren!" I yelled, "Now excuse me, I would like to go to sleep!"
  "But you shouldn't be out this late, Mikasa!" He argued blocking my way once again as I tried to get through.
"That's not your problem is it?!"
"It is!"
"How?!"

  He stayed silent as he looked away and blushed. I suddenly felt a wave of guilt rush over me... seeing Eren like this wanted me to give him a hug. W-wait! What?!

  This was my chance, I could get through. I started to walk forward with much force but Eren stepped forward and I fell forward, falling with him.

  My face turned red realizing that my head was planted in his chest after a few moments of enduring the pain from the fall.

  I quickly got off of him and stood behind him as he sat up. "Ugh! Your such a jerk!" I said as I forcefully grabbed his shoulders and shoved him out.

  I slammed the door allowing the halls to echo the sound. I let out a sigh of annoyance as I heard Eren mumble something before leaving.

  I stomped over to my bed, grabbed my pillow, and quietly sobbed.

  Why was I crying...? Why did it always hurt so much when he made fun of the way I did things or looked, and why did he always give me a hard time about hanging out with Jean...?

  I scowled into the pillow allowing the wet tears to soak it, and I hugged it tightly. That stupid jerk...

  After a while of sobbing and having emotions spin in my head, I calmed down a bit and did some thinking.

  I kept replaying the whole scene in my head over and over again till I finally stopped when I told him that what I did wasn't his business...
  His face blushed and he looked away not knowing what to say... and when I fell on top of him by accident, not once did he push me off or say anything. He didn't argue or fight back when I pushed him out the door and when I slammed the door on him.. he mumbled, not yelled...

Then I remembered the feeling of wanting to embrace him tightly when he looked that way.. it was so.. cute- MIKASA! GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!!

  This was strange, there's something going on with Eren, and Eren and Jean... What could it be...?

It only take so much for a person to change...

  I asked myself as I looked out the window. The crescent was glowing bright and the stars glistened with it, its as if they were all trying to yell out the answer to me.

It only takes so much, for one person to change some one else's life...
