She can't see anything except the chill of the wind.

She opens her eyes, only to see such a blue sky, and the face of her beloved one.

He is crying. She doesn't why, but her heart aches at the sight.

"Don't cry"

She wants to tell him that, but somehow the words aren't coming out.

His tears fall onto her hands.

She just wants to lift her arm up, cups his face in her hand, but she can't move her body.

She can't move her arms, nor her legs.

"Please…please don't cry…"

She feels painful. She doesn't want to see him crying. It kills her.

"Why can't I do anything… Why…."

Despite her effort, she's still helpless in comforting him.

He leans down and gives her a quick kiss.

She wants to wrap her arms around his neck to continue this moment forever, but of course, she can't.

Then suddenly she feels like being pulled away from him.

The water starts to cover her sight. The last thing she sees is his beautiful, yet full of sadness, eyes.

"No! I don't want to leave you, no!"

...

She wakes up. The fear is still in her eyes.

She breathes heavily, then finally calms down, reaches for her cellphone to check the time.

"It's almost 8 AM."

She looks down and sees a blanket covering her body. She smiles.

Because she knows she haves a habit of kicking the blanket in her sleep. He must have placed the blanket back on her sleeping body.

She stands up, makes bed and leaves the bedroom.

She opens the door, only to find such charming smell.

"You woke up?"

A voice comes out from the kitchen.

"Yeah. Why didn't you wake me up, Eren?"

Mikasa walks to the table and sits down.

"You have worked til midnight lately. So I want you to have more sleep today."

He is cooking omelet and bacon. A simple breakfast, but it's enough to make Mikasa happy.

Mikasa drinks the cup of coffee that Eren prepared for her.

"You worked til midnight too. You should get more sleep instead of waking up so early."

"Yeah, but I want to cook your breakfast."

Eren answers, still focus on cooking.

Suddenly, he feels arms wrapping around his waist.

"Thank you…."

A soft voice coming, as Mikasa's head laying on his back.

"It's no big deal, you don't have to…"

Before he finishes his sentence, she tightens her hug and places her head on his shoulder.

"It means a lot to me."

Eren takes the omelet out and puts it on a dish. It takes just a short time for him to finish two dishes of breakfast. He turns off the stove and turns back, looks at Mikasa.

"Your face looks a little pale, what happens?" – Eren asks.

"Nothing much… It was just…"

"That dream again?"

He hits the right spot. He knows her so well that he can guess, the only thing that makes such a tough girl scared is that dream.

"It's because you think about bad stuffs. You shouldn't in the future."

"I didn't think negatively about anything."

"Then why you keep dreaming about that? Like… this is the fourth time since we met, right?"

He counts. She somehow feels her heart flutter. She doesn't know he pay such attention to her, to remember everything she told him.

"I think I have to give you a good night kiss everynight so you won't have that nightmare anymore." – Eren smiles jokingly.

Mikasa blushes. He enjoys this very much, such a cute face she has when she blushes.

"It's nothing to joke about. You know how scary that dream is." – Mikasa tries to calm herself.

"Why? It's just a dream."

"Because… in that dream, I was taken away from you, I wanted to hold you, I wanted to kiss you, I wanted to say I love you, but I couldn't do anything. I couldn't do anything except watching you cry. I feel useless, I…"

Mikasa speaks as if she's about to break down all of her emotions.

She is a strong girl, but when it comes to Eren, she can't help but feeling fragile.

"What's your point?" – Eren still stays calm, which makes Mikasa annoyed.

"It means we were separated, which means…."

"Means what?"

"Which means you left me…. You let me down into that ocean…"

She looks down, her tears starts to fall down as she can't control her emotions anymore. Why is Eren so calm, it makes her concerned if he really loves her.

"Bullshit"

With Eren sudden word, Mikasa looks up. Before she can look at his face, he pulls her closer and hugs her tightly, places his head on her shoulder and whispers to her.

"You can't believe in that crap, Mikasa."

"Eren…"

"You know I will never leave you. Don't even think about it."

"But… I don't know… What if…."

"There's no what if. I love you and only you, Mikasa. Even if you tell me to let you go, I would never do it."

"What's about death? We can't see that coming. I'm scared Eren, I'm scared."

While talking, she wraps her arms around his neck and starts sobbing.

"There's nothing for you to be scared." – Eren whispers.

"Why… I don't want to lose you, and death is cruel, fate is cruel. I can't help but being scared."

"We'll beat fate. Our love will beat fate. Have faith Mikasa."

"Eren…"

"I don't care about death. If I die, I know I will always live in your heart. So there's nothing to be afraid."

Mikasa starts to stop sobbing at Eren's words.

"I'll love you til my last breath, Mikasa."

"Me too."

They hug each other for a while. Eren wants to wait til Mikasa stops crying.

Then at some point, both loosen their hug and release the other.

Mikasa wipes away her tears.

"Let's eat breakfast before they cool down." – Mikasa mumbles.

"Yeah".

Eren places the dishes onto the table, pulls a chair for Mikasa.

Then both sit down.

"So, it's Sunday. Is there anywhere you want to go?" – Eren asks, chewing his breakfast.

"I don't know…"

"Then how about just take a stroll around town?"

"Sounds good."

As they finish breakfast, they start dressing up and get things ready.

Eren waits for Mikasa in the living room.

Mikasa comes out, dressing in a white long-sleeved dress, with leggings and a red purse.

"Let's go."

Mikasa walks pass Eren, aiming for the door.

"Are you forgetting something?" – Eren says.

Mikasa turns back to look at Eren. He is right behind her, and wraps a red scarf around her neck.

"It's cold outside. You wouldn't want to catch a fever."

"Thank you." Mikasa speaks while fixing the position of the scarf on her neck.

Then Eren looks at Mikasa. What he sees is a girl in white dress and a red scarf.

He grins.

"What? Do I look funny?" – Mikasa questions Eren, looking down to see if anything is wrong with her dress.

"Nothing. I just remember when I first met you."

Eren places his hand on her cheek.

"You look just as beautiful as back then." - He smiles "Maybe even more"

Mikasa blushes at his words.

"Don't tease me."

"Why shouldn't I? You look so cute when you blush."

Eren enjoys seeing Mikasa like this. Around other people, she always looks so emotionless, strong and determinate. But when there's only two of them, she shows such a cute side.

Yeah, her cute side, the side of her that only he can see.

"We should be leaving." – Mikasa dodges the subject, trying to keep herself calm with such intense eyes he is looking at her.

Then, before she can resist, he kisses her. A tender, romantic, yet full of passion kiss.

He quickly pulls out right after that, looks satisfied.

"Yeah, let's get going."

"Eren!"

Eren opens the door.

"Lady first." – He teases her again with a grin.

"Sheesh, I told you to stop teasing me."

She looks at him. She remembers what he said earlier.

Then she looks at her scarf, and her dress. She remembers how they met, and how she felt in love with him. She smiles.

"I'll love you til my last breath"

His words are still in her head. Seems like she loves him more and more everyday.

"I'll love you til my last breath too, Eren." – She thinks.

She walks to the door, grabs her arm around his.

"Let's go."

OK, I totally forgot this in the first two chapters.

Disclaimed, I don't own Shingeki No Kyojin.
