Bertholdt x Mikasa (BeruMika)

Two

~Bertholdt's POV~

"Mikasa no!" Armin screeched, and Mikasa instantaneously stopped her blade going into the nape of Eren's burning titan body.

"W-what?" Mikasa asked confused.

I stood there confused. How else were we to get him out? Armin just let us do our job.

"Ar-Armin we need to get him out before his own carcass burns him to death." I said climbing onto the nape.

He looked hesitant. I headed over to Eren's titan body, standing on his shoulders.

"Well if his nape is here, his body should most likely have been located under--" I mumbled to myself surveying and trying to convey in my mind where I can cut into his titan form without hurting his human body.

I stabbed my blade through and felt the body jump, not enough to shake us off though.

Mikasa and Armin looked to me in horror, yet kept silent to see what would happen.

I cut some chunks, and the burning aided the severing around the nape.

"B-Bert--" Armin stuttered.

I glanced up at him as if to say "shut up you little shit and let me be."

He held his tongue back as I continued from the interruption. Burning continued and I grabbed what I believed to be Eren's human arm. Mikasa gasped and pushed me aside to help. Armin stood there in the blood and gore that he hasn't succumbed to yet.

"Er-Eren?" Armin frantically stammered.

All we heard was groaning, and saw Eren's distraught expressions. Mikasa held his legs as I got his upper body.

"Armin, let's go." I said firmly.

"Whoa." A voice said sternly, yet deadly.

I turned as all three of us turned to commander Levi.

"C-Commander Levi!" I shouted placing Eren down gently in a rush, and saluted as we all shifted our attention to the "not amused" faced Commander.

"Its captain. And that--"

Levi said moving his eyes to Eren's motionless body.

"He's going with me." Captain Levi finished.

What? What for?! Don't tell me they're going to experiment on him or-- or see him as a traitor since he can take titan form?! He blocked up wall Maria for gods sake!

"Y-yes sir!" I said saluting. "Where to?" I asked.

Obeying orders, the three of us are to haul him into the interior as the count of dead and wounded were being taken. There was some necklace around him. A key?

I didn't say anything and tucked it into his shirt. As I looked up, I caught Levi's glance and quickly moved my eyes somewhere else.

Did he see me? Did he see that key? Whatever its for? Oh dear lord what's happening?! Why am I even protecting Eren in The first place.? Mikasa most likely loves him, he's a threat to me. I'm just being human I suppose. Eren started to breathe loudly in a normal manner and Mikasa looked at me. My face grew red as she kept reading my face, as hers was expressionless.

"Bertholdt." Mikasa said.

I was looking at ground whilst we still carried Eren into a cart.

"Yeah?" I asked, forcing my sight to her grey eyes.

"There's something you should know." Mikasa said monotone.

I perked up, curious to know what she wanted to tell me. Mikasa had something to tell me?.

Levi ordered us to get the cart onto a horse, and then place Eren into a carriage, and that someone named Hanji would be waiting for us?

Levi moved along and it was the four of us.

"Armin, I need you to stop crying." Mikasa said sternly.

Whatever this is, it must be serious? More serious than us shipping a human titan to the interior?

"W-what is it Mikasa?" I pressed, curious and anticipated for her Intel.

"I need you to meet me by the lunch area at midnight tonight. Do not fail me or you'll regret it. "

"Oh-okay?" I answered, in a questioning tone.

We hauled over the cart to a horse and walked the rest of the way to the gates of the interior walls.

Its been about 30 minutes and Eren's still out of it quite surprisingly.

People stared down at the cart of a body, either they scoffed, smiled, or had no reaction to the titan we were all ordered to protect.

Mikasa kept making sure he was comfortable and all limbs in the cart, and head perfectly adjusted.
