I'm Always Right Here

The day they kissed

MIKASSSSSSSAAAAAAA!!!! Yelled Sasha as she ran towards her.

"What is it?!" Asked mikasa, in a very worried tone.

"MIKASA! We have restocked on food! There's so much more meat now!" Answered Sasha, drilling from the thought of meat.

"Oh, I thought It was about Eren getting hurt or something.." Mikasa patted Sasha's shoulder, and smiled a little, and walked away.

After the thought of Eren getting hurt, Mikasa had some very depressing images of Eren, getting injured. Those images stuck in her head the whole day.

'why can't I stop thinking about Eren getting hurt?' She asked herself.

'if he ever gets hurt or worse, I'll be alone forever..'

She walked to the back of the Dining Hall.

"If I think of Eren getting hurt more, I'll lose it.." Mikasa said out loud with her head down.

"Mikasa? Are you there?" Asked Eren.

'*gasp* Eren..?' Mikasa thought.

"Uh, yeah I'm here, Eren." Said Mikasa, not knowing she was that loud that he heard her.

"Oh there you are, I thought I heard your voice here." Added Eren. Looking at Mikasa, noticing that she looks depressed.

"Mikasa, is everything ok?" Asked Eren putting his hand on her shoulder.

Clearing her throat awkwardly, Mikasa replied,

"Yeah, I'm fine.." She moved her shoulder to get Eren's hand off.

"No you're not. I can tell you're lying." Eren voice is starting to sound worried and slightly mad, that she won't tell him what's wrong.

"Eren I'm not lying, ok? I'm perfectly fine." Mikasa said walking away from him. Eren grabbed her hand and pulled her back,

"God, Mikasa I'm serious tell me what's wrong right now!" Eren's voice is starting rise higher, gripping on to Mikasa's hand.

Mikasa removed her hand from Eren's.

"I'm worried about you, I don't want you to get hurt by anyone or anything." Said Mikasa, in a low but casual voice.

"I've told you already, I'm not your kid, or your brother! And I know that's still not the truth! Mikasa, why can't you just tell me?!" Yelled Eren. Mikasa, sat on the ground, silent. Eren sat beside her, looking at her trying to get her to look at him. Avoiding Eye contact with Eren, she sighed.

"Mikasa, talk to me, please." In a softer tone now, Eren put his hand on Mikasa's chin, and turned her face to look at him. With their eyes locked into one another, Mikasa tried saying the reason, but not knowing the words to explain.

"Uh. Well.." Stuttered Mikasa.

"I had an image in my head, of you, seriously injured. And i thought that if I Lost you, I'd be alone again.." She looked down.

"Mikasa, you will never lose me, I'll always be right here, next to you."

Eren moved his hand on Mikasa's cheek. A tear fell from Mikasa's eye. Before it could reach down, Eren wiped it off with his thumb. Stroking her cheek again, and again, he realized that under his rough hand, was a very soft and gentle face. They sat there in silence for a while. Mikasa looked up at Eren, about to say something but couldn't put it out.

"Eren, I- um, I-.."

"You what?" Asked Eren as he looks into her eyes.

"Never mind" replied Mikasa.

Eren's eyes started off looking into her eyes, then it trailed down her nose and then down to her lips. Mikasa licked her lips, which caused Eren to shift. He removed his hand of her face.

"I should probably start heading to the kitchen, they might need help cleaning up, Sasha told me that, theres brand new meat now so.." She stood up and fixed her clothes, but Eren took her hand and pulled her back down. He looked into her eyes and out his hand back on her cheek.

"Eren?" Mikasa's heart was pounding.

"What are you doing?" She asked

"Please stop, it's distracting us from our work."

Eren leaned closer to her face, his lips almost touching hers.

She could feel his breathing.

"This isn't distracting at all.." He smiled, and slowly leaned to kiss her. But before he could, Armin yelled,

"Eren?! Mikasa?! Are you here?" He walked behind the building. But before he could see anything, Eren quickly stopped what he was doing, and got up.

"There you two are! I've been looking everywhere for you!" Yelled Armin, with a big smile across his face.

"Connie and I need some help bringing the loads of meat to the kitchen." He added. Mikasa walked over to her blonde headed friend and said,

"We'll be right there Eren and I need to finish talking about why I need to protect him, and why he needs to stop arguing."

"You two aren't fighting are you?" Asked Armin.

"Oh no, we're just talking, we'll be there in a sec." Said Eren.

"I'm not leaving here, until I completely know you two aren't going to kill each other." Added Armin.

"Armin, we're fine, we just have to finish up." Said Mikasa, with a small pretty smile, she does when she wants something.

It was a such a pretty smile, it made Armin finally agree.

"Alright, fine. Don't kill each other." Armin walked away, back to Connie, and the meat.

"Finish up, huh?" Teased Eren. Mikasa walked over to him, and crossed her arms, and smiled at him using her "pretty, and demanding" smile.

Eren uncrossed her arms, and slightly pushed her to the wall. He

Moved closer to her, and put his hand on her cheek again, and leaned over. The say they were before Armin interrupted.

"Eren.." Said Mikasa.

"Yeah?" Asked Eren.

"Kiss me." Replied Mikasa again with her smile.

Eren chuckled,

"Yes ma'am." He joked.

Eren leaned closer, and gave Mikasa a direct kiss. Mikasa teased Eren with her tongue. Lightly biting Eren's lip. It sent chills to Eren.

For a gasp of air, Mikasa whispered,

"I love you."

Eren smiled. And kissed Mikasa again, as his "I love you too."

For another gasp of air, Eren whispered,

"I will always be right here with you"
