The God Who Falls In Love

Chapter 17: Brotherly Love

Mikasa's POV:

It's been months since we found about Eren's transformation. At first I couldn't believe it but when she started talking I'm hundred percent sure it was him. I started to feel different towards the girl Eren. I'm not quite sure yet if it was infatuation or something else. Armin acted manly around her too. Jean stopped courting me ever since she came too. Her charms are truly amazing. She had the boys under her spell. I guess it was good since I had no longer that stupid horse face tailing me.

My feelings for her also grew very fond. When she was still that little boy he always used to run up to me whenever our dad got mad at him. Eren's life was never been easy because of how his dad treated him. On the other hand I was treated good. Although I'm adoptive his dad never showed me his rudeness. I was used to be the daughter the Ackerman household. One of the most renowned nobles in our town. My older brother was going to be the next heir, to be the master of the house when a tragedy happened. I was taken to their household when my parents were murdered alongside my brother leaving the only daughter alive.

I've seen how kind they are but when it comes to Eren, his dad kinda change skin. He was very strict to Eren when they are training. He said one day his son will received his legacy and will be the most excellent hunter there will ever be. His prideful eyes looks different at me. But Eren didn't got jealous of how his father treated me. Instead he ran to me telling me how bad his dad is. Whenever he does I console him. Reassuring him that it was just fatherly love he was showing to him because he was a man.

Somehow I got close to him like a mother to her child. Carla didn't bother too. She would always thank me for looking after Eren. Carla was sweet and gentle. We always go to the garden with Eren when he was 6 years old. Yeah I met Eren around 5 and I was 10 by that time. He started his training probably when he reached 8. We always play in the garden together with his mom. Even though I lost my family I get to have another one and I was very thankful of that. Not that I was thankful my family was gone, but the fact someone still cares for me and accepted me to be a part of their family is truly a blessing.

I was lost in deep thoughts when I bumped into someone. "I'm sorry I wasn't looking." I mumbled. A pale hand reached out to me. I glanced up to see a blonde chick that screams her awesomeness. I reached her hand as she pulled me up. She had a bored expression on her but her sky blue eyes tells another story. "It's alright I'm not looking where I'm going to." She apologized.

"What's your name?" she asked. "Uhm Mikasa. Mikasa Ackerman. How about you?" I replied back. She turned her head sideways then turned back to stare at me. "I'm Annie, Annie Leonhart.... You know we should talk somewhere else." she suggested.

I don't know why but I just followed her to a nearby coffee shop. She was indeed beautiful too. She had that poker face but her sapphire orbs tells everything about her. Her personality seems to be the type of cool headed and the one who is very protective, despite of her uncaring expression. Her blonde hair is tied up messily. She wears a leather black jacket with a yellow tank top within it. Her blue tattered pants looks good with the brown high heeled boots she's wearing.

We sit in a nearby table outside the shop. She ordered cappuccino frappe and I did the same. I was a bit shy that I didn't realized I was clinging too much to my red scarf. It was very precious though. Eren gave it to me when I turned 12. He said he save all the money he got just to buy me this scarf. "I guess your boyfriend really loves you." she broke the silence. I was stunned for a bit, eyes widening at the statement. "Ah!!! No.. No... No I don't have a boyfriend. It's just this scarf always gave me comfort whenever I feel nervous." I said defensively. 'Huh what am I even telling her. I shouldn't have her a reason she's not my lover. Besides why am I becoming defensive.' I was nervous wreck by now. "Good to know. I'm taken a like of you." she smiled, closing her one eye. Her semi bangs that was put aside show some of her beautiful blue. Is she making a move on me?
