{Yandere EreMika} Only Mine...

Chapter 2: Known Name

Eren's POV

"So... she's been gone for a week?" I asked, continuing to look at the girl with the raven-colored hair. "That girl? Wonder why she was... gone."

Armin shrugged his shoulders. "It's just saddening though. Every once in awhile, she goes down to the juvenile detention place to ensure she's... not dangerous. Everyone kinda shuts her out. Just... be careful with her. We don't want her to explode."

"Explode? What's with all this talk about her? Something went wrong or...?"

"When she was like 9, her parents were murdered. Now, everyone thinks she killed them, but there was really no reason for her to kill them. People are afraid she'll snap and go on a rampage, but she hasn't done anything wrong."

I nodded, looking at her. Chuckling softly, I saw her looking away. "Her name was... Melissa? Right?"

"Naw, Mikasa. Close though."

"Kinda cute."

"Tread that road carefully, Eren." He says with his blue eyes expanding in fear. "None of us tried to be friends with her. I mean... she just... kinda scares all of us. Try not to... make her explode? I'm worried on how she'll be. After being accused of killing her parents... who knows what could happen afterward."

Once more, I nodded, taking his warning. "I'll be careful. Think I should talk to her?"

"Again... careful..."

"I know, I know."

"Jaeger!" I flinched when Mr. Ackerman growled at me. "Stop talking in class. Unless you would like to tell the whole class on what you were chatting with Arlert there."

"S-Sorry!"

Looking away, that laughter from the whole class began to haunt me. All in all, it was truly my fault. As Mr. Ackerman was resuming class, my attention turned back to Mikasa... and I smiled at her. She gasps, looking away, but I could see that red blush on her cheeks. How could everyone see her as a monster? Killing her parents? That's just not possible.

Once the bell had rung for lunch, I quickly sped up to Mikasa's desk. "So you're the Mikasa, huh? Heard a lot about you. Especially how you weren't in class yesterday."

"Y-You were the one... who left... me my work...?"

I shrugged my shoulders, sighing heavily. "Well... I did get the missing work for you, gave you my phone number so you can call me if you needed help. I didn't know who you really were... so I asked the girl... uh... Historia to get you that paper." My cheeks grew warm as I spoke to her, chuckling even more nervously. "I-If you want... just call me."

She nods her head, looking away. "T-Thanks..."

"I'm Eren."

She looks to me and my hand, slowly reaching out. "M-Mikasa."

I smiled softly, chuckling a bit. "Pleasure to meet you, Mikasa. And since I only started school, want to be my friend? Armin's one of my only ones here, so do you want to be my second one here? I wouldn't mind having a friend like you."

Mikasa gasps, looking away with a cute smile. "O-Okay..."

"Wanna come over and hang out with us for lunch or something?"

"S-Sure..."

Laying out my hand, I waited for her to take it. "Come on then." She hesitated for awhile. Outstretching her hand, pulling back in fear I would do something negative. Patiently, I waited until her hand was it was touching mine. Once I felt it, I gripped onto it and smiled. "Let's go."

Mikasa's POV

Eren... so that was his name. Just saying inside my crazed mind, it sounded... right. Sounded... perfect. He led me outside of the classroom, and out into the open courtyard. The sun... felt warm. His hand was warmer than the sun's waves. Gripping tightly, I didn't want to let it go. His words when he was talking to his friend... it filled me up with joy. Perhaps... I'm just no monster...
