But Are You Sure?

chapter two

My eyes instantly widened. I was going to kill Armin. Actually this time. I had threatened this on him many times before but now, I was really going to kill him.

"You're what?!" Eren drawled, his mouth hanging open like a fish.

"I was feeling off so I took a test, but it could be false! I'm seeing a doctor tomorrow." I said loudly. I did not want the attention on myself at the moment so I looked away from Eren and focused on Armin.

"What happened to holy matrimony? I thought you and Christa were gonna start a family!" I exclaimed, utterly confused. Armin rolled his eyes at me, but started explaining.

"Mika, we basically signed the papers three months into the marriage. It just didn't work out how we had planned. We had been roommates after we split but after walking in on her and her girlfriend in bed together, I decided I should maybe find other living arrangements." He explained, rubbing his nose. I felt like my eyes were going to pop out of my head.

"Girlfriend?! What do you mean girlfriend?" I yelled.

"Yeah, after we split she decided to explore herself and "try new things." She said she was making up for her missed college experiments."  

"Gross."

"Mika, are you sure you read the test right? Like, you're sure it was positive?" Eren asked, staring off into space. I wanted to slap him silly.

"Put a pin in it, we're trying to have a conversation. And quit it with the Mika stuff!" I growled, turning back to Armin. I couldn't understand how he was so calm about his situation.

"So you left. And came here." I asked, trying to get the whole situation straight in my head. Armin nodded.

"Well, you guys said that I'd always have a place with you, so I'm taking you up on that offer. Don't get me started on how many times I've bailed the both of you out of sticky situations. Remember that time I literally bailed you out of j-" I clamped my hand over his mouth, not wanting to remember that night at this current moment. 

I glanced over at Eren, who looked a million miles away. I decided we were all too scatterbrained right now to understand each other and it was probably best if we parted ways for the night.

"So seeing as Eren looks like he's about to stroke out, I'm sending you to bed. Just go down that hallway, it's the second door on the left. I'll bring you some clothes." I basically commanded, standing up and pulling my best friend with me. I ushered him to his room and turned back for Eren. He looked pale and it gave me a pang in my heart. I hated making him feel bad.

"Hey, why don't we get ready for bed?" I said softly, pulling him off of the couch. He followed me silently up the stairs to our bedroom, where I left him to sit on my side of the bed. I took off my socks and pulled my hair into a bun. I gently unclasped the necklace I wore daily; a dainty rose gold infinity sign. I laid it on my nightstand when I felt someone grab my knees. Eren had knelt down in front of me and grabbed my legs. He looked up at me and stared deep into my eyes. I sighed.

"Baby, are you really pregnant?" I asked, his voice barely a whisper. I smiled slightly, not knowing what else to do.

"The test is positive. I mean there are false positives that occur, but it's rare." I said calmly, placing my hand on his cheek. I rubbed my thumb across his smooth skin.

"What do you want to do?" He asked, leaning into my hand.

"I don't know. I wanted to talk about it all with you. But it's been a crazy night, why don't we have this conversation tomorrow? We can go to breakfast and let Armin sleep in. We'll bring him our table scraps, how about that?" I said, my smile growing a little. Eren was the only person I smiled around. I heard him laugh.

"I like that idea. As long as that's what you want." He said standing up and giving me a quick kiss. 

"Okay, which clothes are you willing to sacrifice for tonight?" I asked, opening our closet door. 

"Just give him any pj pants and old tshirt. I'll get it back." He replied from the bathroom. I gathered his clothes and made my way back downstairs to Armin's room. I knocked on the door and was invited in by a grunt.

"I come bearing pj's." I explained, tossing the clothes to him. I sat down on the bed and let him crawl up next to me. 

"Mikasa, I'm so sorry for saying what I said. It wasn't my place to tell Eren the news. I was just so happy for you-"

"Armin, it's okay. You didn't mean any harm. But if you do something like that again I will end you." I said, patting him on the back. He smiled.

"Go nuts. I'll deserve it."

"So hey, Eren and I have a thing in the morning, will you be okay for a while?" I asked him. He nodded reasurringly.

"I probably won't be awake until noon. Don't worry about me." He explained, nudging me softly. I got up from the bed and yawned.

"Alright, I'm going to bed. If you're dying or whatever, we're right upstairs." I told Armin as I closed his bedroom door. I shuffled back to my room and grabbed one of Eren's tshirts. As I made my way to the bathroom, I let a few more yawns tumble out of my mouth. When I was finished getting ready for bed, I hopped in and pulled the covers up. I felt Eren's arm snake around and land gently on my stomach. He pulled me in close to his chest.

"I love you, Mikasa. You're amazing." He whispered into my ear. I felt myself relax for the first time all day. 

"I love you too, Eren. You're the best."

I fell asleep quickly wrapped in his arms. I dreamt of the two of us, young and in love; not a problem in sight.
