( First fanfic please be kind with briefness and pacing) Both of the soldiers sit back on the dark green grass under afternoon sunlight. They watch with horror on their faces as the smiling titan, the one who ate Eren's mother, consumes Hannes, it is gruesome. His screams are loud, then his silence louder. After that sight the two have little will left and no way to fight, Eren not being able to transform and without Omni Directional Movement gear, and Mikasa being injured. They know this is the end. As they resign to this cruel fate Mikasa begins.
"Eren, you've always been at my side, thank you. You taught me how to live with purpose, thank you. You wrapped this scarf around me, thank you. For everything you've done, and who you are, I love you."
Eren is unable to speak, looking at Mikasa with his jaw hanging as if he had gotten socked by Reiner's titan. With this last bit of emotion adding to the complex puzzle inside his head he is not able to respond. As he feels his fingers reform and sees the titan reaching for him next, he, in vain, cries out and throws a desperate last punch, thinking only of his feelings and how he wants to live and have them realized. While moving in slow motion he observes everything around him. Mikasa touching the skarf between her thumb and fore-finger, looking as beautiful as could be with a beautiful face, and lively jet-black hair. He sees the ironically incredible landscape in which such a horrible fate would be met by people just trying to survive. He sees the ugly titans surrounding them making life and hope impossible to keep aflame. And finally the titan in front of him, with blonde hair and cruel shining teeth, the blood licked off of them. He felt such incredible rage that the one he swore revenge on would be the one to take everything from him. As fist and palm connected there was a connection between the boy and the titan, something beyond emotion. Suddenly he was no longer touching the ugly thing. One of the bastards was on top of it! In the blink of the eye all of the titans in the area were on it. Eren took less than a moment to awe at what had happened, regular titans killing regular titans? He was not going to let this opportunity slip away from him. He stumbles towards Mikasa and wraps one arm under her legs, the other braided through her arms. Fueled by only adrenaline and emotion, he picks her up and runs. She looks up with tears in her eyes that are quickly wiped away. After many moments of thought Eren is able to process one thing.
"I love you too Mikasa." He says, voice warbling due to him being choked up, tears welling up in his ducts. Eren cannot help but be entranced by Mikasa as she cranes her neck to get closer to his face. Eren recognizes all the details of her face, her dazzling eyes, her plump and blushing cheeks, her perfectly shaped lips, before he closes his eyes and goes in for a kiss. Both's lips were dry but neither mind as they are happy to be able to do this for even a moment. It was cut short by pounding footsteps that force them to pull away and go wide eyed at it. Both look to the left to find the armored titan with bertholt in tow running them down in an open area. Eren is once again filled with hatred and a strong sense to protect as he cries out,
"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!"
A shock akin to static electricity goes through each titan shifter as they feel Eren's power go through their collective conscience. Titans get up from their blonde meal to swarm Reiner and Bertholt. The same fate of the smiling titan looks to be happening to the two warriors until Ymir leaves Christa (or Historia) to help them. Neither Eren nor Mikasa have enough room in their mind to care, they simply want to go home. With the fading sunlight shining around them, and the great blue sky above Eren gives a prayer to a higher being for the first time in his life. Whomever allowed him to live then, he was indebted to them. Eren puts one foot in a stirrup and swings over the leather seat before hauling his companion up to sit with him. As the two ride on horse together, the consistent galloping of it rocks Mikasa to sleep on Eren's shoulder, breathing softly into his ear, hands around his waist, chest rising up and down the cloth of her shirt and leather of the ODM vest tickling his back with each breath.
The wall Rose comes into sight, It was as confining as a crab trap but it was what Eren currently called home. Riding toward it was intimidating but eventually the scout team reached the heavy gate to the trost district. It slowly rises to allow them in to where the squad would rest. It is already night by the time the smell of damp hay and grain fills Eren's nostrils, it reminds him how incredibly tired he is himself. And as soon as his foot touches the ground, ready to unsaddle his horse, he blacks out, collapsing a long distance to the ground. Armin and Jean, shaking their heads with worry take the two to the barrack infirmary to be treated.
