There Comes A Time

Chapter 10: Back Home

Eren, Mikasa and Armin were caught in a battle with 8 Titans, Six 10m Titans and Two 15m Titans, they eventually succeeded in defeating each of them, now their journey back to Wall Rose and back to the Survey Corps Base.

However things were still tense after their confrontation with Zeke, a person who is also from Marley.

Eren: "Heyy Armin, Mikasa" both of them look at Eren, "I would just like to say I'm Sorry......... I thought if I left with them there wouldn't be any more conflict"

Armin: "Eren.........you maybe the most insane person I've ever known, and you are a bit crazy sometimes" *Armin Chuckles* "But you're my Best Friend, I would lay down my life, knowing that you are safe"

Eren starts to tear up at that statement,

Eren: "But I..........."

Mikasa: "Eren I know you want to do what's right, but leaving with them wasn't the ideal thing to do, I made a promise to Carla, that I would like out for you and protect you" Mikasa saying that she gradually tugs on Erens Red Scarf that was around her neck.

'What I mean by that is.......... I have feelings for you Eren, I want to be with you, I want us to be a family, I don't want to even think about you facing death..... Alone' what Mikasa was thinking about and what she should have said.

Eren then grabs both of them and hugs them, they hug him back, he was also sobbing as well.

Eren: "You guys........ I don't know what I'd do without you" Eren continues to sob.

Armin: "Well let's not stand here, we need to head back to base and inform Erwin and the others about Zeke"

Eren: "Yeah your right"

The trio still make their way South, they took a short path that was unaccounted for. Their journey was shortly interrupted by Heavy Rain, this made their journey even more difficult.

Eren: "God Dammit, it starts to rain now"

Armin: "Well it is Mother Nature, so you'd expect something like this to happen"

Mikasa on the other hand remained behind Eren and Armin, she was too fixated on Eren and what she should have actually said to him.

'Eren.......... My sweet Eren, I wish you would stay in the Walls and never have to go out of them, I want us to be together. I know, once we return back to base, I'll tell Eren my actual true feelings for him, I hope he feels the same way' Mikasa thought.

Eren and Armin were still talking to each other while Mikasa on the other hand stayed a bit behind them, she only had her gaze on Eren, hoping that nothing would attack them out of the blue.

<Timeskip>

The Journey Back Home took them a day and a half, Eren still had his bag full of supplies, he shared his food and water amongst Armin and Mikasa, once they finally came out of the forest clearing, they came by the Tall Wall with the Wall Rose Emblem,

Armin: "Finally" Armin said out of exhaustion, he dropped to his knees and rubbed them because they were that sore.

Because they fled from Wall Rose separately, know one knew where Armin and Mikasa drifted of to, becuase their 3D Manoeuvring Gear was taken by Reiner and Bertholdt they had to rely on Eren, who still had enough Gas Fuel to take them up and over the Wall.

Eren: "Both of you grab onto me" Eren said while he was preparing to use his Gear.

Eren presses on both of the Manoeuvring Gear Triggers and launches himself with Mikasa and Armin by his side.
