-Lover I don't have to love by Bright Eyes

The month of November passed by quickly. Your days filled with school and fake people, and you nights filled with music and Mikasa. You and her had spent as much possible time you could together: walking home with each other after school, alternating houses and spending meals with each other's families. You had kept your relationship secrete from everyone except for Armin and Eren (both of them who promised to keep your secret).

You and Mikasa stole secret kisses at whatever opportunity presented itself. You two would always go to the bathroom together, making sure you were alone before locking lips and making out until you couldn't breathe.  You two would take detours on the way home: finding a quiet place to just sit and be together, exchanging small kisses and just being together.

 At each passing day of your relationship, you could feel your heart grow bigger and bigger, and you love for Mikasa growing. Suddenly, the dark  cloud that covered your existence had started to lift, and the demons that circled around your feet and keep you apart from the world were tame. The devils had stopped screaming and the angles started singing, and you could feel your world becoming brighter; the very light coming out of Mikasa Ackerman. 

You knew that people would tell you you were young and that you didn't know what true love was like, but you felt it. You knew you did. 

------------

It was a chilly day at the end of November, and you and Mikasa were walking to her house after school. Snowflakes had started to fall from the sky, and you and Mikasa huddled together to keep warm. You had layered two hoodies to keep warm, and you had stuffed your fingerless gloved hands deep in your pockets. Mikasa had her red scarf  wrapped up her face. covering her nose and mouth. She was pressed right up against your side against the cold, and you two speed walked down the streets, desperate to enter the warmth of the house. You and Mikasa shuffle up her front porch and throw open the door, running inside and hiding from the cold. Stripping yourselves of the extra layers you head into the living room and fall down onto the couch. Mikasa parks herself right beside you as Carla, upon hearing the noise, came to see who it was. 

"Welcome home Mikasa! Hello there y/n!" Carla says in her soft and sweet voice. You always felt safe and at home in the Yeager household; Carla was always so gentle and so loving, and made you feel like her own daughter. 

"I can't believe it started snowing so early! It wasn't supposed to start until later tonight." Carla turns back around and heads into the kitchen. "I'll make you girls some hot cocoa to warm you up!" she calls.

You and Mikasa head to her bedroom and sit on the floor, starting your homework. A few minutes later Carla knocks on the door and comes in with a tray of hot chocolate and ginger cookies she made. She placed the tray down and you and Mikasa expressed your gratitude before she headed back out. You and Mikasa enjoy your drink and cookies while you help each other out with the work. 

During the time you worked, you heard Eren come home and wander around the kitchen, and you managed to get most of your assignments done. Getting fed up with the math work you did not understand, you throw your pencil down in a huff and roll onto your back, taking a break. 

"What's wrong y/n?" the sweet voice of your girlfriend breaks your silence as she lifts her own head from the work. You turn your head to smile at her.

"Nothing nothing, I'm just taking a break" you say, reassuring her.

She puts her own pencil down and shuffles over, lying herself down on top of your chest. You bring your hand up and start playing with her hair as she crosses her arms across your chest and rests her chin on top. She gives you a small gentle smile and looks at you through half lidded eyes. With your hand in her hair and her head on your chest, you felt nothing but peace. 

You started to pull her towards you with the intention of kissing her, but suddenly the door bust open and Eren ran in and closed the door behind him. You and Mikasa jump away from each other and Eren stops dead in his tracks.

"Uh, am I interrupting something?" he says awkwardly as you and Mikasa sit up and stare at him. 

"Uh n-"

"Yes" Mikasa's normally sweet voice turning cold and angry. Eren just awkwardly stands there for a few seconds; the three of you staring at each other in silence. 

"Okay whatever I just need advice" Eren says suddenly and parks himself down on the floor beside you two. You were about ti open your mouth when you were interrupted by Mikasa again.

"We don't care. Get out." 

You and Eren stare at Mikasa incredulously as she keeps her cold gaze on her adopted brother.

"Look just one little piece of advice. I don't want to be asking you for help, but I have no other options" Eren says, not moving from his spot on the floor. Mikasa opened her mouth to no doubt scold Eren again, but you gently placed your hand on her arm, silencing her. 

Eren looks between the two of you before starting his account.

"What do you do when you think someone likes you?" he asks suddenly. You feel your eyebrows shoot up and your swallow become thick. 'Had he found out about Armin's crush on him?' you though to yourself, worried that Eren would hurt Armin somehow. 

"Who do you think likes you?" Mikasa asks, and you can see the same worry for your friend in her eyes. 

Eren's own eyes widened and he starts to stutter. "I- It doesn't matter!" he said and you can see his cheeks heat up a little bit, and a conflict start playing behind his eyes. As he was growing angrier and more flustered, you could tell he was having a conflict with himself. "You know what, forget it!" he said as he leaped from his seat and stomped back towards the door. If your own suspicions were correct, you didn't want any harm to come to Armin, so you spoke out before he could fully leave the room. 

 "My advice Eren, would be to just keep it to yourself until you are actually sure about the situation. It's best for you and for whomever you are thinking it might me. The other person might not want you to know." 

He looks back at you and you could see his angry features soften a slight bit, but you could tell he was still having an inner battle. Once he turned away, you and Mikasa share a glance, worrying about your friend Armin, and a little bit for whatever Eren might be going through.

A/N: Hey guys! I'm so sorry this is late; I just started a new job and I'm pulling like 8-9 hour shifts a day so I get pretty tired. Good news is, it's going pretty good so far, bad news is, I already have a crush on one of my coworkers and I have never communicated with her before.

In terms of this story, I have one or two more "filler type" chapters before we get back into the plot. I'm not really liking this one so far: to be fair I didn't plan it out properly, and I'm writing as I go instead of following an outline. I do think this is going to be a good exercise for my future fics (that will hopefully be better). Anyways I hope everyone is doing good!
