Mikasa woke up warm. It was a feeling she was used to; extremely used to. It was a very comfortable feeling. She could feel the rise and fall of Eren's chest against her ear, hear his heartbeat, and feel his radiating warmth.

She loved the feeling, and cherished it. It was something she'd always cherish. It was the most beautiful feeling in the world to her…well, one of the most beautiful at least.

Mikasa sighed, wanting to fall back to sleep, when Eren stirred, his eyes opening. Mikasa's eyes met his beautiful emerald green orbs, the same ones that she could get lost in in the blink of an eye.

"Good morning," Eren said, already active. He was cradling her while he stroked her hair and shoulders, and she knew that she was gonna drift back to sleep if he continued to do so. Eren knew that as well, and honestly, he wanted her to sleep some more. He had the selfish need for her to be in his arms (especially because he had several nightmares throughout the night and needed her comforting presence.) Besides…she hadn't slept much for quite some time because of the amount of time it takes for her to fall asleep, the nightmares, and her habit of awaking early.

"Eren…" Mikasa muttered, knowing what he was trying to do.

"C'mon, Mikasa. You need more sleep," Eren said worriedly. Mikasa struggled to keep her eyes open.

"Y…yeah…I guess…" Mikasa said, before her eyes fluttered shut, and Eren smiled. She looked so peaceful.

The two had become a couple just about five days before. Mikasa was still in a lot of pain from her ribs, but the two had sat down and discussed their feelings, and had gotten together just after. The only other person who knew was Armin, but besides that, no one else had any idea that they were a couple.

Eren smiled, stroking her cheek and closing his eyes and falling back to sleep as well.

Armin was the one to wake them. Eren opened his eyes, seeing his blonde headed friend standing above them, with a smirk on his face.

"You two overslept. Captain Levi isn't pleased," Armin said. Mikasa was still sound asleep, nothing but soft breaths coming from her. Eren bit his lip.

"Oh…"

"If you don't get out now, I don't think you'll be getting any sleep for a week from the amount of chores he's gonna give you," Armin said.

"Okay, okay, we're coming!" Eren said, and Armin nodded before walking out.

Eren turned to Mikasa, who was clinging to him tightly. His eyes softened as his hands slowly brushed her cheek.

"Hey."

Mikasa remained still.

"Hey," Eren said a bit louder. Mikasa's eyes fluttered open.

"Hm?"

"Good morning, sleepyhead. It's time to get up. Otherwise Levi's gonna murder us," Eren said with a joking smile.

Mikasa smiled slightly before sitting up.

"We better get going then," Mikasa muttered, and Eren nodded.

"Yeah," Eren agreed. The two stood, and Eren's fingers threaded instinctively with Mikasa's. Mikasa rejoiced inwardly.

"Let's go," Eren said, and the two smiled at one another before walking out.

Just two teenagers, lost in a sad, hopeless, world. But the two would make it through together. Because as long as they had each other…

They could do anything.
