NEXT MORNING...

Mikasa's P.O.V:

I got up and got freshened up, ready for another day of hell. Also, there was a slight creak. I sharply turned my head around. "Who's there?" I asked, almost scared. Creak, creak, creak. As the sounds get louder, I get more annoyed. Then, a shadow appeared, with an oval shaped object in the hand. I realized the object was bread, and the person was Sasha Braus, my food-loving roommate.

"Sasha, don't cause a racket, please," I requested and went outside to clear my head before training. I suddenly remembered a warm sensation on my lips. Lips.

The kiss.

Was that real? I thought it was just a dream. I touched my lips, as if to get some kind of memory back. And sure enough, a jolt went through my veins. The warmth on my lips, given to me by...EREN?!

The kiss...was real...

I shook my head and went outside to training. I told myself to avoid Eren this entire day, just so I can organize my thoughts. I caught a glimpse of Eren, coming my way. Crap, what do I do? I said. Unfortunately, he came within range, and I was too late.

"Yo, Mikasa!" He said, as if nothing happened. "You seem rather...hey, what's wrong?" I realized I had a dark expression on my face. "N-nothing. Just on my way to training." I pushed past him and went to the 3DMG shed to strap on my 3DMG.

After strapping the 3DMG on, I went into the forest and started training. I swinged through the trees, thinking about last night.

Does Eren not remember anything from last night? Or is it that he doesn't want to talk about it? I saw a practice Titan go up, so I sliced the nape of the neck, just like regular training. I sliced off some leaves off the branches out of frustration, because I didn't know what to do about what happened last night.

"Mikasa!" I heard someone say. I gracefully landed on a nearby tree branch and saw Eren coming this way. I was about to fly away again, but Eren caught up and landed next to me. "I've been looking everywhere for you!" He seemed angry, but I couldn't tell because he's always hotheaded.

"S-sorry," I said. "I just came out here to think about...stuff..." I hung my head down, as if I was about to scream. Instead of a scream, this came out. "S-sorry."

Then I was out of sight.

Eren's P.O.V:

I just wanted to talk to her about the kiss last night, but it seems she didn't want to talk about it. It seemed like she was avoiding me the entire day.

At dinner, I sat with Armin, like always. Mikasa was sitting far away, with Sasha Braus and Mina Carolina. I stirred the soup, not eating a sip. Armin looked at me with concern. "Eren, you okay?" He asked. I stopped stirring and stared at Mikasa, wanting her to at least look at me once.

She never once looked at me, and I was about to explode from frustration. I finally cracked and stabbed my fork into the table. "Mikasa," I said. "We need to talk." Mikasa just calmly put down her fork and got up.

"Okay, let's talk."

Mikasa's P.O.V:

Eren has finally cracked, it seemed like, because he wanted to talk to me outside. He was rather forceful, because he dragged me outside of the dining hall. I was still calm as ever, but I was slowly shattering on the inside. The thought of last night made me want to get away from Eren.

Then, we approached a familiar spot...the spot where...we kissed.

I was about to turn and run, but Eren grabbed my arms and pulled me close to him. "Mikasa," he said. "Running away from me won't work. I have too much on my mind and I can tell you do, too. It's okay, though. You can tell me everything, which is why I'm losing my damn mind and getting so worked up over a KISS!"

Eren finally broke out of his shell, and I smiled. "I was hoping you'd say that sometime soon." He calmed down and looked at me.

"Mikasa...I...I love you."

My eyes widened and my smile melted. "You...you mean that?" I asked, and he nodded. "I love you more than how Franz loves Hannah. I love you more than how my dad loved my mom. I...I loved you ever since we met."

And without thinking, I leaned in and our lips met. I kissed him softly at first, then he kissed back. I felt like I was transferred to another world. I felt so at peace, like I had a huge weight off my shoulders. I was...happy.

In between, I whispered, "I love you too, Eren." We kissed for what felt like an eternity. I never wanted it to end. But unfortunately, it did. Eren pulled away for a second, then he pulled me in for a hug.

"If it comes down to it, I hope we die together." He whispers in my ear. I smile and nod, putting my arms around his waist and, subconsciously, I kissed him again. I finally found happiness again, Mom. Eren is my happiness. If I die...

I will die happy, with Eren by my side.

Mushy ending, I know...but it was also a happy ending, right?! Anyways, this is the final chapter for this story...I'M SORRY! I just wanted to end it because I'm working on another Eremika story, but it's more like a romantic comedy type of thing, sooo...Anyway, I'm glad y'all liked this story, so be sure to give it lots of love and check out my other AoT stories as well!

Anyways, I'm out. :D
