Hate at First Sight, Love at First Fight

"Between Us"

TheAWESOMEauthor: Heya!~ here again with a fresh new chapter! Really really really sorry guys...(｡•́︿•̀｡)

The next morning...
The long wooden dining table was filled with a few trays containing loaves of bread satisfyingly enough for the squad to finish. Everyone was a bit quiet than the usual for no reason at all.. Perhaps the cold and rainy weather somehow altered their moods as the raindrops created timid and small noises on the roof.

Everyone else has a dense feeling at that hour, after twelve noon estimated, except for Sasha that is. She always felt gleeful and buoyant whenever there's food on the table.

Mikasa couldn't do much but stay quiet. Not surprising for everyone, but Eren felt like it was different. Suppose maybe because of what he witnessed recently. Eren gazed at her for a moment and then looked for another sight to stare at... which was the window.

Staring at the rain droplets falling slowly from the thin, porcelain glass, it reminded him of yesterday... Mikasa's tears. He never saw her cry like that. Not only her emotionless structured face guarantees that, but also because she never cried on anything other than worrying and her past.

"Uhh..", Sasha muttered with her mouth full and swallowed them to be able to speak, "Is it just me or the atmosphere here is dead as hell?...",she asked mannerlessly before she gives big bites to her lovely loaf of bread.

No one bothered to reply for that certain second. All of them were busy helping themselves eat on their comfortable seats and own spaces.

"What's the problem guys?", she added a new question while chewing.
"Do you think something happened between them?", Connie whispered in wander. "No clue at all..."

Armin reacted," Huh? What do you mean?" As a reply, Connie made a curious expression on his face, his way to urge him to tell. Seeing Armin puzzled, he then said,"Nevermind..." as he effortlessly gave up.

"You mean did something happened to Mikasa, Connie.", Eren jumped in the conversation and corrected him.
"Mikasa?", he spoke with confusion.
Sasha:"Why so?"

Armin tried observing on what was new. Mikasa didn't move a muscle and just looked back at them with a blank facial expression.

"You're right! There's something wrong with her.", Armin agreed. "And yeah what would that be?", Jean inserted his question in. He pointed then,"She's not wearing her scarf and it's odd since it's cold and raining outside."

Everyone was ridiculously surprise: "Oh yeahh..." although Eren wasn't pointing about that and Jean knew about it.

Mikasa's hand automatically travelled to her neck, hoping the grasp of her scarf. Efficiently, she left her chair and ran to her room to find it.

"Wow, she's shock", Connie commented. Eren then chased her unreasonably. "Eren?", Armin muttered as soon as the two left them.

Eren stopped on the front door of Mikasa's room and found her startled.
"I'm sorry Eren, if I just realized sooner...", she spoke when she felt Eren's presence near, still quite scattering her things to find a tread of her beloved scarf.

"Mikasa...", Eren whispered while he walked towards her. "About...", he opened his mouth to ask about yesterday, but changed his statement. "A-about the scarf, it's fine if you don't find it. I can give you new and better ones in the future."

"Eren..", Mikasa mumbled. Sighting that her hands are still coping things to search for the lost thing. It seems like she really is obsessed with the scarf.

"Mikasa!.."

Mikasa ran out of the room. Her loud footsteps can be heard in the hallway and it appears that she is heading to Levi's office room.

"It couldn't be.. I must have left it there..", she thought to herself.

When she was finally there, her feet  stopped by itself in front of the door... remembering what heichou said before.

Her eyes suddenly saddened with just the thought of it.

After just a few seconds, another's footsteps can be heard in the same path she is leading to. Thinking it would be Eren, she didn't mind to turn her back.

"Eren, just leave me for a moment... I need some time to explain it to you someday.", she anticipated about it, " I'm just so confused right now."

"Eren?", fascinated, she heard a different tone of voice. It was no other than Captain Levi.

"Cap..tain?..",she whispered.

"Mikasa", Levi spoke her name with gentleness.
"Are you looking for something?", he asked as if he knew.

Mikasa shrugged her nervousness and turned around. When she opened her mouth to say something, air came out instead of words as she felt the soft fabric cloth surrounding her.

She blushed while she gazes at heichou's face and felt the scarf around her neck and shoulders, the lost thing that she was trying to find. She felt the warmth, not from the scarf but from her chest.

"What is this warmness I'm feeling right now?"
