Eren X Mikasa, Summer

12, First Day... Again

Mikasa

My eyes slowly opened themselves to the blinding light of the sun from my window. I blinked a few times to help my eyes adjust, and sat up to stretch my arms.

I rubbed my tired eyes and looked out my window. Completely forgetting about my current condition, I tried to hoist myself up to get a better peak at the beautiful sunny day, but failed due to the sharp pains on my legs and sides.

I let out a sigh of disappointment, right... I thought to myself as last nights memories consumed my mind. My face heated up and my cheeks flushed as I clenched my blanket, thinking of how I gathered my strength to hug Eren, the words I've never said so sincerely to anyone, and when he picked me up and gently placed me on my bed while hugging me.

I shook the thought out, it's a new start Mikasa. Start day one over again... I let out another heavy sigh before putting on a proud face.

I heard a knock on my door, "Mikasa, are you awake yet?" Petras muffled voice asked.
"Yes Ma'am!" I replied.

She slid open the door with her usually warming smile and said, "Morning! Breakfast will be ready..." she trailed off realizing my condition as she looked down at my covered legs.

She took a moment to think before replying, "Levi doesn't let anyone eat any where else but the dining room. I'll have Eren assist you down stairs if that's okay?"
"Good morning and that's fine. Thank you very much." I smiled brightly at her. She smiled back and said your welcome as she slid the door closed.

I wonder how long it'll take for my wounds to heal, I thought as I looked at my legs.

I was debating wether it was a good decision or not to poke my legs, just to see if it would hurt.
I shrugged, yolo!!

The second I poked it, I instantly regretted it. Pain shot from my legs and up as I mumbled curses under my breath while tightly clenching my blanket.

While dealing with unbearable pain, a knock which I'm assuming was Eren's was at my door.
"C-Come in." I almost screeched. Here we go..

Eren slid open the door with a smile, "Good mor-" He cut himself off due to seeing my face cringe in pain.
"Mikasa, don't tell me you tried to get up again..." He frowned as he walked over to me.

I smiled nervously, "N-No.." He blinked in unison as he reached the side of my bed.
"Then what happened..?" He asked as he lowered himself to one knee.

I looked down at my pink sheets in embarrassment, barely able to choke out my idiotic acts he let out a sigh and slid his arms under my knees and gently picked me up.

He looked me in the eyes pulling his face closer to mine, "You need to be more careful."

I felt my face turn a bright pink across my cheeks, and nodded an 'okay'. A small smile crept on his face as he pulled his face closer and closer to the point that our foreheads touched.

I closed my eyes, surprisingly craving for more of his touch. He slowly pulled away as my face flushed from a pink to a red in embarrassment. He chuckled softly as he mumbled a let's go and walked out my bedroom door.

As soon as we got down stairs and made our way to the dining table, Levi, Levy, and Piano. Levi was reading the local news paper, Levy and Piano were talking to each other and Petra was preparing breakfast,

Levi glanced up at us from his reading and looked back down at his paper, "Good morning you two, have a seat. Pull out the chair will you Piano?"
