Mikasa's POV

My heart would pound whenever Eren called me up. I just wanted him more and more. My urges were being pushed to the point where I cannot control. Aunt Hanji's words wouldn't faze me anymore... I cannot... control... myself...

I can put myself into a corner, but the only way out that I could see is just Eren. The warmth he had... that warm feeling that he possessed... how it warmed my cold heart. His flame that lives inside of him... I want that flame. The flame that can spur sporadically... I wanted that... I want... what Uncle Levi has. 

What I want... is Eren...

Eren and I just finished a call when Aunt Hanji knocked on my door and gently started to ask me if she could let me in. I nodded my head, saying that it was okay for her to come inside. She does so, closing the door behind her and taking a seat on my bed. Her graceful hands laid folded over her stomach- protecting my little cousin.

"I wanted to talk to you..."

My eyes rolled a bit as I turned on my side in the bed. "I heard, Aunt Hanji. I won't kill. Not anymore."

"It's not about that-" Aunt Hanji had stopped herself as she took a deep breath. "Well... it's somewhat like that, Mikasa. It's this Eren boy, huh? That you're willing to risk your life for him. I wouldn't be surprised. I reached out to Levi during his little spree. But... what... what you're doing to him... it'll hurt him."

"Aunt-"

"What will you do once he finds out?"

"He won't ever find out."

Aunt Hanji gave me this gentle look as she stared at me. "You know... that was what Levi thought at first. He thought that he could hide it from me. It wasn't until I caught him in the act... he realized what he had done. He confessed it all to me, Mikasa. He trusted that I wouldn't dare rat him out. What was wrong with him... he had no control over that."

My head tilted a bit as I listened to her side of the story.

"What I'm trying to say is... you need a way to tell him, Mikasa. About that first death... Sasha's. He's... I guess... hell-bent on protecting you. If he finds out, this will crush him. Mikasa... he cares- don't you dare lose that... alright?"

I nodded my head, looking away from her. "I... I understand..."

Aunt Hanji gently put her hand on my shoulder, smiling softly. "I can try to help him- but the rest falls on your shoulders. Non-lethal options only, please. If you truly want him... you need to earn him. These kills are not the way. Don't follow Levi- else your hands will be forever bloodied."

"But-" I began to cry, looking at my own hands. "My hands are already bloodied. I need him, Aunt Hanji..."

"I'm not stopping you, Mikasa. I know how Levi got when people tried to stop him or when he started his spree. Stopping you would cause you to go blood-thirsty. For now- you're safe. Don't mess this up. Once you kill... this might cause the higher ups to send the best of the best. It might lead to the cold case being reopened. I... I don't want that..." Her hands continued to fold and pull closer to her stomach. "I'll lose the both of you..."
