Eren's POV

"Hey," I smiled, my bare feet making contact with the hardwood floor as I walked towards my fiancée- or rather, soon to be fiancée

"Eren," She breathed, a small smile playing on her lips,

"How are you? Is everything alright? How's the company?"

My lips tugged upwards, watching her laugh due to my small amount of questions,

"One at a time okay?"

"Right, sorry." I laughed, scratching the back of my neck sheepishly,

"Maybe if you sit next to me I could tell you about my day."

"Okay, okay," I replied, plopping down next to her,

"For the sake of your curiosity, I'm fine, no problem seemed to arise from the company- not one we can't handle at least, how about you baby? Is everything working great with the office?"

I licked my lips, debating whether or not I should tell her about my plenty- and I mean plenty of problems in the office,

I sucked in a breath and showed a smile, "Everything's working great."

I watched as she let out a small squeal and hugged me, causing my heart to break a little,

Maybe I shouldn't have lied to her,

"That's perfect!" She said enthusiastically, letting go of me,

"T-there's something I've been meaning to ask you." I stuttered, shit, maybe now isn't the time to propose,

Then again, it's been 5 years, when is the perfect time?

She nodded, urging for me to move on,

"We've been together for a while, and I think that it's time we-

*ringgggggg*

I clenched my teeth, coming to an abrupt stop as soon as the phone rang,

"Wait there Eren, I'm gonna get that okay?"

I sighed in reply, "Alright," before getting up and grabbing my phone,

My brows furrowed as soon as I saw a text from an unknown number,

+639173420912

Eren, we need to talk

I'm sorry, who is this?

Did you seriously erase
my phone number?

Armin?

Yep, that's me, anyway,
we need to talk, head to
the cafe we always hangout
in ASAP

"I'm back," Annie said, placing her phone on the table next to me,

""So, what were you gonna say again?" She asked, taking a seat next to me,

"You know what? That can wait, I gotta go." I replied, grabbing my coat and placing my phone in my pocket,

"Where?"

"Armin said he needed me, I'll be back before you know it."

Mikasa's POV

"I did not get a single thing he was saying." Petra laughed, shaking her head, (A/N I know Petra and Mikasa have never talked, but I just feel like they would get along if they did)

"You think I did?" I joked, my eyes trained on the road,

"From the way you were staring at him, no, honestly? I doubt anyone did." She replied, a small smile playing on her lips,

"Yeah well-

"Wait, Levi's calling." She cut me off, pressing the accept button,

"Hey, you're on speaker."

"Thanks love," I smiled at how sweet the two were, then again, they've been together for 5 years so if any couple oughta be sweet, it would definitely be them,

"Anyway, I called to give you guys a location, Erwin said that there could be another Rogue roaming the streets- warehouse rather, I'll send you the location in a bit."

Ending the call, Petra leaned over to place her phone on the stand,

"Thanks,"

"Always here for you."

Eren's POV

"Hey, what was it you wanted to talk about." I asked, taking a sip from my coffee,

"My Uncle's not happy with everything Eren, I overheard his conversation with your boss and they're planning on firing you." He sighed,

My eyes widened as soon as I heard those words,

What was I doing wrong? I'm pretty sure I've done everything right

"Why?"

"I don't know, that was all I heard." He shrugged, taking a bite of his croissant,

I stayed quiet, my eyes trained on my coffee as I thought of what my boss' reason could be,

"Are you alright?" He asked, his eyes showing concern,

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine, I just, I gotta go." I said, grabbing my things and leaving in a rush,

"Why can't I do anything right?" I groaned, my hands in my pocket as my feet slammed onto the pavement,

Damn, I hate winter,

I haven't even proposed to Annie yet, hell it's been 5 years and I haven't even had the chance,

Or the balls either,

Taking a sip from my coffee, I sighed in content,

At least until I ended up bumping into a raven haired girl,

"Shit- I

"Forget it," She growled, walking away as if nothing had happened,

"Hey!" I yelled, causing her to turn around,

"Can I get your name?" I asked, earning a laugh in return,

"Mikasa,"

"Alright then, I'm sorry Mikasa." I replied, smiling,

My attention was soon transferred onto my phone as I clicked the accept button,

"Boss?"

"You're fired, get your stuff from the office and leave Jaeger."

"Wha-

Before I could finish, he ended the phone call, leaving me standing in the middle of the sidewalk, my hand clutched to my phone tightly,

Mikasa's POV (Hours after her encounter with Eren)

"Mikasa?" Levi answered, his voice muffled by my sobs,

"I need you by the location you sent us, it- it's Petra."

I listened as he sucked in a breath, as if bracing for what's to come,

"What's wrong with her? I'm on my way."

"Make it quick, she's losing way more blood than I can control."

After 30 minutes, Levi finally got there, except the only problem was the fact that instead of seeing 2 people, he was greeted by a sobbing Mikasa with blood all over her,

"Stay with me." He growled, carrying her to the car,

"Don't even think about dying on me." He added, his breathing getting rapid,

Her last words leaving him with a shocked and hopeless expression,

"Th- they took her, th- they took P- Petra."
