{Yandere EreMika} Only Mine...

Chapter 15: Alone Together

Eren's POV

"So... Mikasa..." My insides seemed to have flipped over as I tried to speak to her. But my words became nothing but stutters. I could feel my body growing warm as I tried to bring up my confession to her. But the confession... it wasn't what was said out of my mouth. "D-Do you mind if we can hang out at the park after school? Y-You know... study and stuff like that?"

Mikasa always had that stern face- seemingly like she couldn't think for herself or anything like that. But when I asked her that question, it seemed like there was this fire igniting inside her. For the first time, I could see her silver eyes glistening and beaming brightly.

"W-Well...?"

She nods her head, smiling softly. "I think I would love it... after school today?"

"Yeah..."

"Meet me in the back of the school- I need to tell my aunt and uncle first."

I nodded my head, "Okay then. I'll be waiting underneath that large oak tree, okay? I'll see you then!"

Walking away with that smile on my face... my heart wouldn't stop beating for her. For the first time, I asked a girl out... and I wasn't rejected. My head turned to Armin, and he gave a gentle smile- supportive, but I could tell he didn't like the idea of it. At least he's giving Mikasa a chance...

*   *   *

"What's this I hear?" I turned, seeing that usual jerk around. I've seen him bully Armin around- sometimes towards me, but I've been able to hold it out. "Someone's dating the Ackerman girl?"

I scoffed, shaking my head. "It's not official, idiot. What do you want?"

"A warning."

"What warning?"

The jerk-face sighed, shaking his head. "Look here... I'm doing you a favor for a short amount of time. Now- take it with a grain of salt or something like that. If you won't listen, I'll beat your tiny-"

I stood up, walking towards them with balled fists. Usually, I would lash out immediately... but I didn't want to ruin this little outing with Mikasa with cuts and bruises. Holding myself back for the sake of Mikasa. 

"Acting tough, huh?" He scuffs, staring at me. "Listen here, Jaeger... this is just a warning I'll allow. Why? I still need my precious punching bags. That Ackerman girl is incapable of feeling anything. One time, we had tried to pull a prank on her- she never flinched. She flung the spider onto a group of girls with no remorse."

"I don't believe that."

"Jaeger, I'm helping you for this one time." Charles said with a growl. "Stay away from her."

"Like hell I would leave her behind. I like her- and I'm not gonna allow you to force me away like that." The blood continued to rush in my veins as I watched him. "I want to protect her from all the lies and rumors you all have conjured up about her. Pushing her down so you can only attack when she's at a disadvantage! I had enough jerks like you-"

There was a sudden punch in my right cheek. How it flared up and how I plunged into darkness for a few seconds. By the time I could see again, the jerk was standing over me with his fist out. I was expecting a punch from him- but instead, I was greeted with a kick in the gut. I curled up like a baby as I was bombarded with those kicks and punches.

The jerk was saying something to me, but I couldn't hear what he was saying. Everything seemed to be muffled a bit.

But by that time, I saw a girl running out- wait... just... just not some ordinary girl... Mikasa!
