My Unique Hero(Eremika)

(Chapter 23)

After spending the afternoon with Annie and Eren, Mikasa had made her way home and when entered, she was immediately tackled by questions by her overprotective brother.

"Levi calm down I was just with Eren and Annie!" Mikasa admits as she held her hands up in defense. "No need to get worked up over nothing" She mumbles.

"I'm already worked up by the fact that the only person that is considered family to me is hanging out with a troublemaker and that my job is making me spent many hours away from her because I have to go around town in the middle of the night looking at stupid crap" His tone sounded very strict when he said that as Mikasa concluded that she must of struck a nerve.

Levi let out an infuriated sigh before plumping down onto the rich brown sofa. Mikasa couldn't help but feel a wave of guilt rush over her and sat next to Levi on the sofa, taking in the warmth that the silken object provided.

"I'm sorry" Mikasa says and averted her eyes from the tv that played some old cartoon and over at her brother that was already dressed in his uniform. Although Levi wanted to say that she didn't have to be sorry, he decided to let her continue talking. "I haven't been a good sister lately since there is so much stuff I'm...unexpectedly involved in...but I shouldn't be making you worry since you already stress about work and I should start being more responsible since I'm close to adulthood. I know you want to protect me at all cost because of what happened to our family so I promise to be more vigilant and be aware of the consequences" Mikasa tells apologetically. "I appreciate that you're being mature about this Mikasa...but what kind of stuff are you unexpectedly involved in?" Levi questioned as he grown more suspicious of his sister when he saw that she didn't say anything.

He wouldn't say that she's speechless at the moment but either has so many things in her head that she can't process to say in full sentences or she doesn't want to give out her business as it may seem private. Like many overprotective big brothers, Levi thought differently remembering her saying that she came from Annie and Eren.

"Is there any funny business that I need to be aware of with...him?" Levi says in a concerned tone that send chills down Mikasa's spine. His tone made it hard for her to make eye contact with him so she stared blankly at the dumb cartoon that still played. Her cheeks became flushed at the question and she seemed too embarrassed to answer but before she could say anything, a small grumble escaped his lips.

"Do I have to give you a damn curfew?" Mikasa's eyes widened as she got up from the sofa and turned swiftly on her heel, locks of her hair falling in front of her face and she was fumed that Levi assumes she is doing something she isn't suppose to be doing.

"Why would you think I'd do something like that!? May I remind you that I wasn't there with just Eren but Annie as well!?" Mikasa's expression quickly changed to hurt and seeing his sister like that, Levi couldn't help but feel guilt yet didn't express the feeling. Mikasa was on the brink to letting out a sob and bit her lip which was quivering. "A-All I'm trying to do is help a friend a-and..y-you just assume t-that I'm involved in some sexual activity! You're the worse!" Mikasa shot at him, not able to hold back her tears anymore as she bursted out crying and ran upstairs to her room.

As much as Levi wanted to go upstairs and comfort Mikasa, and apologize, he had to go to work and he wasn't going to let her actions affect his occupation. Levi exit the house and got into his car and began to fumble with his car keys as he tried desperately to place the silver object in the ignition. "Dammit" he cursed under his breath upon thinking of what had happened a few minutes ago. He hates seeing his sister cry than anything else and he was the cause of it for being such an ass.

He drove to the station and right at the moment he pulled up, a peach vehicle pulled up right beside him. Getting out the car and gathering his stuff, he closed the door and looked up seeing a familiar woman who has ginger locks,light brown eyes, fair skin, and wore a gray tank top with a sweater over it,jeans, and black boots that reach to her knees.
