Eren's POV

"Mikasa... this isn't right..." I say, trying to grasp on this concept. Everything being explained to me... it still didn't fit right. Right after Mrs. Ackerman explained everything about Mikasa and Mr. Ackerman... couldn't help but believe the fact that they have committed murders- and have gotten away with it. How much it scared me... I was in the home of serial killers. "This isn't right..."

"I'll behave- I promise..."

Looking to her, I could see her eyes being... filled with hope. I didn't give her any hope- but it seemed like she was given hope from me. Only I could make her happy like this- as close as human as possible. 

"Please, Eren..."

I sighed, pushing her away. Was it because I actually had feelings for her that I agreed to all of this? Was it because I felt pity for someone who had suffer so much from something she couldn't control? Or was it because I didn't want to leave someone in the dark? So many reasons of why I accepted her, yet one after another, it didn't seem real to me. 

"Eren..."

Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath and nodded my head. "I'll do it... only under... a condition..." Mikasa waited for me to say my next words- and it just didn't feel right. "You can act however you want as long as it doesn't consider murder. Don't pin this down on innocent beings... because I know the true culprit is here. No more kills... before I report everyone here. Other than your aunt, uncle, and your future cousin... I'm the only other guy you got."

Once more, she had nodded her head in understanding.

"Mikasa, I mean it." What have I gotten myself into...? I began to plead with her... plead with her to save other lives of other people. "I mean it, Mikasa. Please. I'm begging you."

"I understand, Eren..."

My heart was beating when I leaned forward... yet I couldn't comprehend what had happened. What had truly happened... I took her in. Embraced her even. I felt her presence so close to me- I was afraid she would kill me. Mrs. Ackerman had reassured me many times that... well, she would dare hurt me. She would do anything to protect me. But the thought of what she had done in the past scared me.

Despite it all- I embraced her... and I kissed her. 

Could I really forgive a killer like her?
