Eren X Mikasa, Summer

11, Start Over

Mikasa

My tired eyes slowly opened, revealing darkness then I already have seen. My body was wrapped in warm soft sheets and a wet towel was placed gently on my forehead.

I sat up slowly allowing the moist towel to fall in my lap. It took my eyes a second to adjust but I was able to realize I was in my bedroom, with the only source of light being the moon.

My body felt fresh from war and my hair felt rough, I just felt like praying some miracle will appear and heal my aching wounds. I let out a sigh, deciding wether to get up or not. I should get up to let everyone know I'm okay.

As I was about to get up, but I felt a sharp pain shoot from my knees up, "Crap!" I muttered holding my stomach.

A small movement on my bed distracted me from the pain as I saw a brunette head lie at the edge of bed.

E-Eren..? What was he doing here? What happened?

Before anymore thoughts could run through my head, Eren slowly lifted his head. Crap, I didn't mean to wake him..

As soon as he lifted himself off the bed he rubbed his eyes allowing them to adjust. Sweat trickled down his forehead, his eyes were long, it looked as if he awakened from his hibernation.

As soon as his eyes adjusted, it took him a moment for him to scan me. His eyes grew wide, "M-Mikasa?!"
I smiled warmly, "Hey-" I was cut off by Eren throwing his arms around me.

My face flushed and I blinked in surprise as I decided to hug him back. His face was buried in my shoulder as he mumbled something.

"What? I can't-" I was once again cut off by Eren. He gently placed his forehead against mine, gazing into my eyes.

I felt my face heat up as I gazed back into his. He had this wonderful shine in his teal eyes that lit up his face even in the dark, tears formed allowing them to sparkle.

"I'm sorry..." He mumbled looking down.
Confusion drowned my brain with questions. Why is he sorry...?

"Eren, why-"
"Because of me, you were I injured. Badly. I was so angry and jealous to realize my carelessness... I understand if you don't forgive me, but I wanted to let you know that I'm truly sorry..." He kept his gaze down.
"Eren..."
"I want to start over with you... I was such a jerk. I never wanted to hurt you, but I did. That's all I ever do..." He looked into my eyes, "I'm sorry... and I understand if you hate me..." He closed his eyes allowing a tear to roll down his face.

I was speechless to hear these words from Eren... I never thought he would have such sincerity towards me...

He lifted his forehead off  against mine gently wiping his fallen tear, and stood up.

He faced his back to me, "I understand if you don't want to talk to me anymore, or start over. I wouldn't either..." He made his way to my door.

With all my strength, I kicked my legs out of bed and threw myself to him, hugging him tightly from behind, I buried my face in his back, and my leg wobbled.

"Eren, it's not your fault... It was an accident, I understand. I do forgive you, and I do want to start over with you. I don't hate you, I never will. I was a such a jerk too and I should be sorry. When we first met, I honestly thought you didn't like me... no body really has and I started to tell myself that I need to be better... I thought you were like that because of me." Tears welled up in my eyes, " I should be sorry Eren. I'm really sorry..." Tears ran down my face as I spoke.

The sound of silence filled the air causing my thoughts to tell myself that Eren hates me now.

I messed up... I wasn't able to reach him... I messed up.

The motion of Eren's body interrupted my thoughts, causing me to fall back. But before my body could reach the ground Eren went on one knee and caught me bridal style.

My face turned red and my eyes grew wide of surprise. I was confused to what he was doing so I called out his name as I looked up at him.

His warm smile made my face turn more red as he picked me up and set me on the bed having my feet dangle off the side.

He kneeled down and gently grabbed the both of my hands pulling them towards his lips. "Would you like to start over, Mikasa...?" He smiled into my hands.

I felt tears form in my eyes as I nodded my head and replied a yes. He caressed my cheek wiping away my tears and hugged me tightly in his arms once again.

I felt so warm in his hugs and safe, I never wanted to pull out of his grasp once I was already in it.

After a long while of hugging he slowly released and pressed his forehead on my shoulder. I smiled warmly as I rested my chin on top.

Thank you so much Eren...

I love you...
