backdated to the day after the shift from clonetemple mountain to basketballroom

[thornsofmalkav]

Guys! Guys, there's a Titan here! I think it's a Titan? He's huge and naked and hanging crepe paper from the chandelier and I don't think he's noticed me yet.

I'm gonna try to fly up and stab him. Survey dudes, please give me back-up, he's fucking terrifying.

[OOC: Anyone who wants can handwave seeing Eren in Titan shifted form trying to help decorate the basket ballroom. Or even doing his shift. Sadly, Thorne missed the shift happening which is why this.]

[Having his arms around her right now feels amazing and makes her wish this would happen more often. Or that she'd even dare to hug him even more often. Then again if she'd end up watching her with some tears of joy in her eyes like she's doing right now, that would be weird... Not bad, just weird or things she's not sure how to even explain if anyone asked.

Mikasa has all the time and attention to listen to Eren and his heartbeat, so it's easy to catch the words and fill in the blanks. Or come up with her own blanks, that works too. Nope, she's not going to leave him alone and she's certainly not going to go anywhere from here. She'd stay here just like this forever if it was her choice.

And then Eren does that snuggling thing and Mikasa just stares at him, eyes wide in surprise and face going at least as red as the color of her scarf. Small gesture to a sleeping person but a huge step closer to a girl in love -- but then again this whole situation from the moment he talked her into finding him from this room has been like one gigantic step in everything. She adores his smiling face, but the peaceful face is wonderful to see too. It brings the same feeling to her mind too. Everything would be okay -- no, not just okay, they'd be more than fine.

Mikasa keeps staring at Eren, gently petting his hair and back almost all the time. It's not like she's any good at sleeping without him around either and she regrets not having kept him close like this all the time while they were kids. But nope, not going to think too much about that. Not now, tonight is for peaceful sleeping if she's going to sleep at all.

But Eren hiding his tiredness from her ...Nope, it's never going to work, she'll always see it before he'd even realize it himself.

She's tired too, but she doesn't want to sleep. Not yet. She just wants to keep looking at him for a while longer. Or she could just not sleep and do this forever instead.

Eventually she cuddles just a bit closer, that is as close as she can get here right now and it's so close that she can nuzzle his nose and face before she gives him a kiss on the jaw this time. She really is getting braver, maybe you should watch out, Eren! Then she makes sure they're both tucked warmly under the blanket before she lets herself fall asleep too. And it's not going to be nightmares this time... All that staring into his peaceful, dreaming face? Perfect way for her to dream peaceful, sweet dreams too.]
