Not much had been said about Eren's trial, life went on as usual and when Mikasa tried bringing the topic up, Eren would drop the matter by changing the subject. Something came over Eren, something dark that he didn't want to see again.

Eren placed his phone in his pocket and resumed watching TV, but was interrupted by a soothing voice. "Eren?" Eren turned to see Mikasa standing in the doorway, her red scarf dangling around her neck.

"What's up?" Eren smiled warmly to Mikasa.

Mikasa moved closer to Eren, sitting next to him on the couch. "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine. Why do you ask?"

"You've been quiet since your trial and..."

"Mikasa." Eren stared at Mikasa directly in the eye. "I'm fine, there's nothing to talk about. You don't have to worry about me, I'm not going anywhere." Eren brought Mikasa into a hug. "Anyway, what are you wearing for connie's party?"

"Oh... Umm I think just a black dress and your scarf."

"Don't wear the scarf."

"But it..."

"Don't. You look good without it." Mikasa blushed and covered her face with the scarf, slowing breathing in it's scent. "Don't." Mikasa looked up to find Eren had pulled the scarf from around neck and had begun wrapping it the two of them, pulling them closer together.

"Eren, what are you..." Before she could finish she was pulled into Eren's embrace. His warmth welcomed her and the familiar scent made her go weak. "Eren..."

"Shhh... You shouldn't worry about me so much you know, I can't take care of myself."

"I know, but I just can't lose you."

"I'm not going anywhere." Eren placed both his hands on Mikasa's face, one on each cheek, then pulled her closer, kissing her on the forehead. "Don't wear the scarf tomorrow, you look beautiful without it."
