SC. Another Farewell

A/N : This is a special chapter as a celebration for reaching 2k reads! Thank you and congratulations to us!

Mikasa's POV

Eren stayed silent while he is driving me to the port. Today is our fourth year anniversary as couples but we won't be together for one week. Shiganshina National Baseball Group will compete against Marley again. I am excused for school while Eren can't go with me since being a fourth-year college in Architecture isn't really easy.

"Won't you talk to me?" I asked and looked at his sad eyes.

"Today is our fourth anniversary yet you're leaving me. How are we supposed to celebrate it? We have spent only one anniversary together. And that was our first. And today is my birthday." Yeah, we never really became a couple that night in the Valentine's dance. And on his birthday we decided to make it official.

"I am sorry, I really am. You know I want to spend it with you but this is not the time, Eren." He stayed focused on the road and never talked again. I just noticed how attractive he is wearing a white button-down shirt, sleeves folded up to his elbows. His long hair in a man-bun. His man-bun is another reason why I wanted to stay!

"Fine. But you have to do something for me when you return." He smirked and I just nodded at him. His childish attitude is already normal for me. I am sure this is another childish favor asked by my boyfriend.

"Okay, what is it?" I asked but he just smirked. "Hey tell me so I can prepare!"

"You'll know when you open your luggage, Mika. It doesn't need any preparations so I guess it's a surprise for you when you check it." He smiled, mischief in his lips and mind. Yeah, this is another childish favor. I am very sure of it.

"We are here..", mischievous smile replaced with something else. Sadness. Disappointment. As much as I wanted to stay with him today, my team needs me. Levi-san will scold me badly. He got the audacity to scold someone taller than him. He is one hell of a shorty.

We both got out of the car, he opened the compartment where my things are located. He carried my luggage and I carried my bag where my sport-related things are put. He walked me to where my teammates are. They were all waiting for me.

"Mikasa is late again." -Reiner

"Oh hey Eren." -Bertholdt

"Brat why are you late again?" Levi-san appeared out of nowhere. Or maybe I just didn't notice him. He is flooded with tall people, sometimes I feel bad for his height.

"We are going on the ship already, Eren." I told him and kissed his cheeks. My teammates started walking to the ship leaving only Eren and I behind. I hugged him tight, I can hear his heartbeat clearly. He removed my hands around him and pulled me in for a kiss. He got taller that I have to tip-toe to reach him.

"I love you." He said in between our kisses. He continued kissing me like he doesn't want to let me go, but I took the initiative and stopped.

"I love you too." I said and smiled.

He got my scarf from my arm and wrapped it around me. I took my luggage from his grip and walked to the ship, where my teammates are.

I went to the room and brought my things with me. Like what Eren said, I checked what is inside my luggage. When I opened it, a black velvet jewelry box sat there, a note is also beside it. I took a peek inside it and saw a ring with a diamond in it. Is he..

Eren's POV

I looked at the ship sailing further. I want to be with Mikasa in her game as her moral support. She has probably checked her luggage already, and she might have found out about that favor. While driving I remembered how I have to sneak out on her just to buy that ring.

FLASHBACK

"Do you think she'll like this?" I asked Sasha. She helped me with picking out the ring. She nodded and gave me a thumbs up.

"Mikasa is a simple minimalist woman, Eren. She wouldn't like something extravagant. Trust me, we are basically bestfriends!" She said and smiled at me.

"Then I will buy it already." I picked the ring with the most simple design like what Sasha said. I actually bought two rings for Mikasa. And on my way home, Sasha keeps on asking me on how I will pop the question. I didn't say anything because I honestly don't know how!

Here I am sitting in front of my study table. Mikasa and I are already living together since last year. Just the two of us in this apartment. She is already sleeping peacefully in our room so I think this is the best way to write a note. This is how I will ask her for the first time.

Mikasa, I would be delighted if you go home to me wearing this diamond ring. I love you so much, you know that right?

END OF FLASHBACK

Mikasa is not dumb to not understand what I am trying to say and ask. I am asking her to marry me through a note and a ring inside her luggage. I knew from the start how we will end up. We will end up married.

I knew from the start that...she is the one.
