{Yandere EreMika} Only Mine...

Chapter 24: Unveiling

Eren's POV

I would shudder whenever Mikasa popped up. What was going on... those agents... I'm caught in the storm. She popped to me with a smile on her face. I could never... never get it out of my head. How emotionless she was after she killed them all. All... all for me...

Her hands were warmed- though I know blood has been on them. Those eyes of silver I thought were beautiful... I can't help but think of how much blood they have seen. Aside from her parents' death... the people she killed. The fear they had right before their lives were taken away from them by Mikasa. What happened through her own psyche... 

"Eren!" She called out to me as her arms wrapped around me. How tightly they squeezed onto me... it felt like she was a true person. A person who was innocent. But I cannot stop thinking about what she had done. "Eren... there you are..."

A soothing voice to calm me down...

"I got worried..."

My shoulders shrugged a bit as I kissed her gently on her hand. I smiled a bit as I told her. "A guy got some needs to use the bathroom, Mikasa. I had no other intentions."

"That's good." She says- almost in a psychotic way. "Don't ever leave me... alright?"

"If I left you..." I said gently, sighing a bit. "You would kill more. I'm... I'm here so you won't kill more. I'm here because you wanted me here. As long as you won't kill again... I will never leave you- never. My promise stays with you... and it will forever stay with you..."

Her body was pressed against me as I held her closer to me. "Thank you..."

Why did I chuckle to her...? I took her hand, walking towards the main road. "Come on, all of this is stressing me out... let's go and eat something. Maybe get something greasy... how about it?"

She smiled and nodded her head. She then leaned forward and pecked a kiss on my cheek. "Mhm. I think that sounds good... especially with you..."

We continued walking there, just staying still and staying close. As much as I wanted to push her away... there was nothing that I could do. Push her away or keep her close. Either way... I'm stuck with her. I... I...

"Eren!"

I turned back to see Armin running up; Mikasa flinched a bit as she heard Armin. The way she flinched... it made me think that she was... she was gonna kill him. Kill him. Those words echoed when I thought of that. She... she was...

"Eren!"

"A-Armin?" I called out to him, tilting my head as I held Mikasa back from attacking him. "What's up?"

He pants heavily as he stops a few feet in front of us. I watched him take a few deep breaths before he rose from panting. "C-Can I t-talk to you?" His blue eyes darted towards Mikasa as his voice lowered. "W-Without her... please..."

I turned towards Mikasa, seeing her eyebrows being knitted together. Her eyes were turning into stone as they targeted Armin. The fierceness... 

"Mikasa, it'll just be a few seconds." I say softly, smiling towards her. "Just... stay here. I won't leave you. Just stay."

She nods her head, reluctantly backing away from me and Armin. I took Armin's shoulder, leading him away from Mikasa- yet in clear eye-shot of her. That way... I can keep an eye on her before she does something idiotic- like killing someone.

"What is it, Armin?"

He stumbles on his words to make a complete sentence. But the final outcome of it all... what was this feeling? Rage? Stunned? Relief? Fear? Everything was mixed up in a bowl- and I don't know what it's called when it's all combined. It was just a new recipe that I made up.

"Armin-"

"Eren, I-I told the agents about Mikasa..."

"W-Which parts?!"

"E-Everything..." He mutters softly, stepping away from me. You know... I've been in fights too many times to know when someone is prepared to get bullied. Armin flinched and pulled back like I was one of those people. But he was a friend...

I sighed, shaking my head as my fists curled up. "A-Armin... h-how could you...?"

"I'm sorry, Eren... I-I broke! They asked for my opinion- and I broke! I'm not t-that good with pressure like that! I-I'm not like you!"

Deep breaths in and out... in... and out...

"I-I'm sorry..." He repeats with his confidence being worn down with every word. 

I tapped his shoulder, trying to reassure him with a usual smile. "It's fine... I can handle it. Just..." What could I say...? My best of friends just ratted my girlfriend... I... I was being ripped apart in the center. "I don't know... not anymore."

The murders, my friend saying the truth I wanted to cry out. Suspects. Jail. Everything swarmed around... I couldn't focus. If, by any chance, I could remain sane... I want to stay sane... not being this insane. I was... I wanted to break away. To run away from this life I've gotten myself into. Regret over everything that I've done. If I could stop doing whatever made Mikasa fall in love with me- I would stop doing it...
