[They just end up kneeling on the floor because even if Mikasa could make them stay on their feet, she's not even trying to do anything about it at that moment. The desperation for wanting and needing to feel his arms around her is mutual too. And then there's all that crying from him, that just adds to all the relieved feelings. Well, it could also make her feel like a horrible emotionless monster and absolute shit for making Eren feel like this -- but it's a good thing she has people to tell her that she's not either. Besides she's crying all over him too, that's not emotionless at all!
... WHAT?! POSSIBLE INTERNAL SCREAMING, THAT SHE'S NOT SENDING TO THE NETWORK
. . . Did Eren just say . . . ??!!!????
Maybe she's hearing things that she just imagines to be there?? Maybe she's just dreaming except lately all of her dreams have been nightmares and this is far from one and feels too real to be a dream.
... But Eren just said ... those three words ... the three words and Mikasa looks too surprised to do or say anything for a moment, then she starts looking embarassed. Oh but is she supposed to look that way in the middle of an open conversation where hiding feelings apparently isn't a thing?? Sorry, she can't help it. She should say something in return too maybe??
It's not like she didn't believe Armin ( she always believes him! ), but hearing all that from Eren? It's the most amazing feeling ever and certainly something she never expects to hear... Stay still a-girl-in-love's heart, stop racing like that or he might hear it! Come to think of it, he's from so early that he hasn't heard all those "thank you"s from her in the middle of that one fight against titans... Or seen her while she says them. Well then. She's crying a lot more right now but the happy smile is pretty much the same as back then.]
You're my family too, I need you and -- [come on, be a brave girl! He said it first, it's fine, though her pale cheeks are getting even more red color to them as she's hesitating for a moment. She can't be too shy for this, not now!] I love you too, Eren, you mean the world to me. ...Nothing's ever going to change any of that, especially not you.
[Well, nothing's going to change it in a negative way at least as her feelings just keep getting stronger! And maybe one day Eren will realize that she didn't mean that as platonic love . . . Still blushing a lot and wondering how did she even dare to say all that. Sure, it's some stuff she wanted to say with the thank yous too back then but she's always been too shy until now. This most amazing boy is the most precious ever. Must protect from every danger and anything trying to come on Mikasa's way of protecting him can go straight to the deepest Hell. She couldn't hate him, she's far too deep in her devotion and love for him. She really means it when she says that nothing could ever change her feelings for him and Eren definitely hasn't done any of that what he thinks. Their home world is just really fucked up.
Mikasa leans on Eren too and swallows hard at his next words. Another way? She can't think of any -- except telling him and she hates keeping secrets from him but she's really not even sure when or how to tell. No one's told her how to suddenly just tell stuff like that to the most important person of her life!]
...Okay, I promise to tell you when it happens and I promise to tell you everything one day, but not today. Still never your fault, it's not like you could know before I say something. But no more of this hurting each other, I can't take it anymore either. So just -- tell me if I do that too.
[Eren is getting a less tiny tightening of Mikasa's grip on that hug in return along with something that almost sounds like she's trying to hold back on crying again. She pets his back. Everything will be fine, trust her!!]
