IMMM BAAAAAACK! WOW it has been a long ass time! Im finally back here with a couple of new(and unfinished) stories. but this one right here is a one-shot tragedy that ive had finished for a while but just never got around to posting it.

So there you go; dont get mad at me. Anyway, i hope you all enjoy this and i will update my profile for other story updates coming soon! (hopefully :P) So please, enjoy the story!

As Luck Would Have It

Eren broke free from his titan form, having cleared the area of any titans after watching Mikasa be nearly crushed to death in the grips of a 10 meter. She was now laying on the ground covered in blood. They had lost the Scout Regiment during another attempt at reaching Wall Maria and were swarmed.

Now that everything was clear, Eren ran towards Mikasa with every ounce of energy he had left, his Titan form having drained him like usual. "MIKASA!" He shouted running over to her mangled body. "Mikasa!" He slid on his knees beside her and ever so gently rolled her over, "Mikasa…!"

"...Eren…" She breathed out

"Mikasa! Are you alright? Stay with me!" Eren grabbed her hand which was seeming to make its way to him anyway. "Dont worry, Mikasa! The rest of the scouts should be here any minute! they're sure to have seen the signal you left off!"

"yeah…" Mikasa breathed out again and let out a wimper "Eren..i-..it hurts…"

"I know Mika..but itll be okay! you're gonna be just fine! Just like always!" Eren tightened his grip on her hand. "Here…" Eren crawled over to a nearby tree and leaned his back against it so that he could start to catch his breath. He propped Mikasas head in his lap so that she would be more comfortable, still holding her hand, with his other hand on her scarf. He was tired and beaten as well.

"...Eren…" Mikasa squeezed his hand slightly "stay with me…"

"Of course, Mikasa..im not goin anywhere.."

"We'll be okay…"

"yeah, we are...we'll get you back to headquarters, theyll fix you up and youll be back doing sit ups in no time, right?" Eren moved a strand of blood matted hair from Mikasa's face. "And then…" Eren looked at the clouds above them through the shade of the tree leaves. He began to relay this day dream as he was doing this. "When they finally let you out of the hospital, ill be there, and ill have a big handful of those flowers that used to grow just outside Shiganshina District, you know? The little purple ones we used to pick all the time as kids?...and then ill run over and embrace you..so much that your ribs might break again..nah but they wont..youre strong...and then ill give you a big fat kiss right on the lips...i dont care who sees...Armin, Captain Levi, Squad Leader Hanjei, Sasha, Historia, Connie..heh..hell,even Jean"

Mikasa let out a small airy laugh,muffled by her scarf.

"heh...and then ill sweep you off your feet and carry you back home..wherever that is by the time we get back.."

Eren kept staring at the clouds, mindlessly thinking about all that had happened. Lost in this stale moment in time and false sense that everything was fine. He was tired and hurting but fighting every instict to just close his eyes and sleep because he knew Mikasa was injured terribly and needed help he couldnt give her. He was just waiting. Waiting for the rest of the Scout Regiment that he knew in the back of his mind may never come.

After a long moment of silence, Eren spoke softly, "Hey...Mikasa..when this is all over how bout we move to the outside? We can build a house, have some kids..oh, but we'll get married first...you know, Captain Levi..he asked me if we were gonna marry...I asked him "why?" and he said he wanted to walk you down the aisle….I was gonna propose to you, i dont know when, soon maybe…..is it okay if i do it now..? I dont have a ring though..but..thats okay right..? I dont need a ring to show my love for you, do I? ….Mikasa?" Eren, now noticing that Mikasa hadnt said anything or made any noises for a good while, started tearing up fearing the worst. He noticed that her grip on his hand was no longer there. "...Mikasa?...Mikasa…" His voice cracked as tears welled up in his eyes and his throat tightened. "Mikasa! Hey…! Wake up..!..didnt you hear me..?" Eren slumped over, bringing his head closer to hers. "Didnt you hear me…?...Do you know how much I love you..?" The tears spilled from his eyes onto Mikasa face washing away tiny streams through the blood stains on her skin. "IM SORRY!" Eren cried out and lifted his head to the sky,shouting. "IM SORRY I COULDNT PROTECT YOU! Did you know how much I love you?! Did you know that ive ALWAYS loved you?! NO! You deserve to know everything! Please!...please forgive me Mikasa..!" He lowered his head back to Mikasa's and spoke through his tears "Please….please...just wake up...grab my hand again! please! Mikasa!" Eren shouted out again "MIKASA!"

"EREN!" a familiar voice shouted followed by something crashing into Eren.

"?!" Eren was shocked. It was Armin. "NO! GET OFF OF ME!"

"Eren calm down! What happened?"

"LET ME GO!" Eren kept shouting as other members from the Scouting Legion came and tried to take him away from Mikasa. "LET ME GO! YOU CANT LEAVE HER LIKE THIS! I CANT LEAVE HER!" Eren kept shouting as he saw he was being taken away by Scouts and Mikasa was being carefully put on a stretcher and placed in a wagon. "NO! SHES NOT DEAD YOU IDIOTS! BRING HER BACK! BRING HER BACK! I NEED HER! LET ME GO!" Eren saw Armin slowly step into the same wagon as Mikasa as he was shoved into a covered wagon and thats when he finally exhausted himself too far. Eren was unconscious.

A soft wind blew through the thin white curtains of the hospital ward, making the tiny purple flowers sway and rustle. Eren welcomed this cool breeze as it was rather hot in the small room, his hand tied between Mikasa's.

Once they loaded her into the wagon, the medical team worked right on her and managed to save her just in time, as Armin put it. The day Eren came to,Armin was the first one to see him and give him the news.

"Where is she?" Eren lifted up his head.

"Shes down the hall, but i wouldnt get up and go see her yet, Eren. Youre still too weak yourself." Armin warned Eren.

Of course, Eren got up right then and there, brushing past Armin and stumbled his way down the hall. "Eren!" Armin chased after him.

Eren stumbled into the doorway of Mikasa's room. There she was,looking as peaceful as ever. All bandaged up and sleeping soundly, couldnt believe it. his knees became weak, he managed to walk over to her and touched her face. He broke out in tears and slumped over on the bed sobbing joyously into the sheets.

Eren stayed there sitting in a chair next to Mikasa holding her hand. Armin sat at the end of the bed.

"You know,this is just like what she used to do when you were injured."

"huh?"

"Yeah..just like this, she'd never leave your side. Always held your hand waiting for you to wake up. No matter how many times someone asked her to get some fresh air she'd say "ive got everything i need right here"..and she was talking about you, Eren...you really are her whole world.." Eren turned back and looked at Mikasa's blank, beautiful face.

Eren hadnt left Mikasa's side yet, except to pick the flowers now next to the a wind chime sounded ever so softly and as if on que, after a whole week,Mikasa opened her eyes.

"Mikasa..?"

Mikasa turned her head to see Eren's eager face looking down at her. "E...Eren.."

"Mikasa!"Eren buried himself into her and kissed her. He pulled back to see her tired smiling face. Mikasa reached a hand up to touch his face and he put his hand over hers.

"Eren...my Eren...you're here..you stayed with me…"

"yeah, of course...I love you, Mikasa Ackerman..I always have..i wanted you to know that." Her face went pink, he loved that he could make her do that even now.

"And I love you, Eren Jeager..you're my whole world.." She started to tear up and Eren leaned down and kissed her again.

"AIIIEEEEEE!" A shrill squee sounded from Hanjei who was standing in the doorway with a tray of bread meat and water. The couple looked over at her surprised. "Mikasa! Youre finally awake! Now you and Eren can finally get married and make me a titan baby!" Mikasa immediately turned red and Eren too. Hanjei gasped dramatically "I've got to tell Levi about this! AAAH!" She set down the tray of food and ran down the hallway shouting "HEICHOU! HEICHOU GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!"

Mikasa and Eren both let out a laugh and turned to each other. "How about it?"

"how about what..?"Mikasa asked.

"...why dont we get married..?..I kind of already proposed to you back there..but you were…" Eren face turned grave at the thought of that day again.

"...yes.." Her voice came softly. She was smiling and blushing.

"really..?"

"yes!"Mikasa repeated. Eren smothered her with kisses and she gladly accepted.

Eren would make sure that he would never lose his Mikasa again. Having her always by his side for the rest of his life no matter what….
