Mikasa X Eren: An Unknown Love

Invite

Mikasa POV

On Sunday I stayed home finishing some of my homework, but I was consistently thinking of Eren. I made a promise with Petra to confess my feelings to Eren, and I intended to keep it. But the more I thought about it, the more nervous I got.

When I finished my work, I set my pen down and heaved myself onto my bed. As I began to drift off asleep I heard my phone suddenly buzz. Reaching over I checked my phone, which had an unknown number who had messaged me. Opening the text it said: ‘Hey Mikasa, its Petra! The other day I asked Eren for your phone number so I decided to add it too! (^__^) I thought you’d want the others contacts as well so here they are…’  

Below it had everyone’s contacts on there: Annie’s, Armin’s and even Levi’s. I clutched my phone tightly and smiled at myself. Thanks Petra. I checked the time on my phone and it was already 5:30pm. Time to make dinner.

As I started walking down the stairs I heard a knock at my door. Who was that? I approached the door and opened it, and then Eren was standing there with his hands in his pockets. ‘Hi Eren, why are you here?’ Eren blushed slightly then covered his mouth with his hand.

‘My parents came back because the plane at the airport had trouble; so my mum asked if you would like to come over to eat.’ That was surprising, for a while I didn’t reply then Eren stammered ‘You don’t have to, no, that’s not what I mean, if you don’t want to you don’t have to force yourself!’ he was so cute when he was nervous. I laughed then went next to my staircase to grab my jacket, grabbing my keys from the bowl I then put my shoes on

‘I’d love to’ I said whilst closing the door behind me. I slipped my hands into my pocket then began walking with Eren to his house. ‘How does your mum know me?’ He laughed nervously then looked away.

‘Well, sometimes she harasses me to talk about school…’ I raised my eyebrows up knowing there was more to it than that, but I decided to leave it alone.

That night I went in to Eren’s home then I ate dinner with him and his family. His mother seemed very welcoming to me, she would occasionally make jokes of Eren and I dating – which made me way too embarrassed. Eren’s dad seemed distant, but I think he’s just shy.

‘Mikasa would you like some dessert?’ Eren’s mother kindly asked me as she was taking my plates away from the table.

I brought my hands up ‘No its fine, I feel full from the food you just gave me, but thank you for the offer. I really enjoyed your food.’ She put a hand oon her cheek then blushed.

‘You’re so polite Mikasa, unlike my arrogant son here.’ She slapped then back of Eren’s head then said, ‘You should learn from here.’

Eren looked at me then mouthed, ‘Thanks.’ I covered my mouth then tried to hide my giggle. Everyone stopped moving when there was a knock at the door.

Eren’s mum put down the plates then said, ‘I wonder who that is at this time.’ When Eren’s mum said that I looked at the clock, I didn’t know it was that late! I stood up then tucked the chair underneath the table.

‘Sorry Eren I have to get going,’ I turned towards Eren’s dad bowed at him ‘thank you for having me.’ He smiled then nodded at me.

As I walked down the hallway Eren was beside me asking ‘Did we have any homework?’ I stared at him with a blank face which was full of disappointment. ‘We did? Damn it, I’ll have to do it now.’ I shook my head then reached for my jacket. Eren went to the door were his mum was.

‘Mum who’s at the door?’ Eren looked over his mum’s shoulder then said ‘Historia, what are you doing here?’ Once I put my jacket on I walked over the door to put my shoes on. What was Historia doing here? When Eren’s mum moved into the kitchen with a bang in her hands she invited Historia in. As Historia walked in she saw me there, for a split second I thought she gave me a glare. ‘Mikasa I found out the other day that Historia’s mum works with my mum, so sometimes Historia comes over to give us some snacks. Isn’t that great?’ Eren asked me with a smile.

For some reason I felt really unhappy about this. Wait. Was I jealous? Impossible. I pushed my thoughts out of my mind then shouted through the door, ‘Thanks for having me!’

Eren’s mum came running back and said ‘Don’t worry about it. You can come over again any time!’

I waved goodbye to Eren’s mum then turned towards Historia, ‘See you in school tomorrow Historia.’ I turned away then walked towards my house.

That night I didn’t get any sleep.
