Pairing: Eren x Mikasa

Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin)

Our Perfect World

Eren and Mikasa walked around after a long day of training. Mikasa was a mixture of joy and nerves. She couldn't stop thinking about how nice it was that she got to walk with Eren after each training session. It might not be a lot, but it still made her happy. They had been walking for a while and Eren hadn't spoken yet. His face was unreadable. Mikasa kept sneaking glances at him admiring his cute face. He suddenly spoke.

"Do you ever think about your future?"

His question had caught her by surprise. Eren had never talked about any sort of future besides one full of killing titans.

"What do you mean?"

Eren looked at her thoughtfully.

"I don't know… I guess I'm asking because I'm trying to imagine a perfect future, one without fighting titans."

"Oh…"

Mikasa pulled up her scarf.

"In my perfect future, I would be married and I'd have my dream job but I'd always put my family first. We'd have happy children and every year we would have celebrations with our friends…"

"What would your husband be like?"

Mikasa subconsciously looked at him.

"He would be kind and caring but also a little bit childish. He would always protect his family and I would love him throughout everything we go through."

Eren looked down and began mumbling. Mikasa had to strain her ears to hear him.

"… I guess I wouldn't be in your perfect future."

Mikasa grabbed his hand.

"Of course you would be!"

She covered her mouth with her hand. What a stupid thing to say, he was sure to know her feelings now. She looked away in embarrassment. Eren turned around and tucked a strand of hair behind Mikasa's ear.

"Did you know that I think you're really pretty?"

He whispered while holding her gaze. Mikasa shook her head slightly. Her heart was soaring. He thinks I'm pretty? Mikasa was holding her breath, waiting.

"In my perfect world, the only person I can imagine myself with is you."

Eren's turquoise eyes were fixed on Mikasa's dark grey ones. This had to be a dream, it was too perfect for it to be a reality. Mikasa took a step toward him and then another until she had closed the space between them. She leaned in and kissed him without a care in the world. She pulled away to whisper something in his ear.

"In my world, there is only you."

She could feel Eren's heartbeat quicken and his arms around her tighten. He held her and she held him and in that moment, they were living in a perfect world together.
