Work Text:
- But you don’t get it! - Cried Sasha, dry tears visible in her face and snot coming out of her nose, the mess of napkins in the floor becoming bigger by the second - I left her blind in one eye! I was lucky I was using my bunny busters arrows! - The thought of her shooting her normal arrows in that moment almost made her puke right there
It was a accident, she swears to god it was an accident
She was practicing her archery skills in the forest near in the forest near her place, the one where lots of people reunite from time to time to go hunting the local bunnies you could find there
It was supposed to be the perfect evening, indulging herself in two of her favorites hobbies was something that she didn’t do too oftenly ever since she left her town 8 years ago, It would be nice to come back to her roots, reminisce about the time she spent with her father who she missed so much she was already saving some money just to pay him a visit, hunting and having fun at the same time with the added fact that she could bring food to her house, like a proud hunter should be, maybe impress Mikasa with a big bunny and make Eren a little jealous
He hasn’t shut up about the fish he caught ever since they went camping that one time
Alas, everything went downhill when she saw some bushes moving around rather harshly, and she didn’t think twice before shooting, the high toned scream that came from there making her aware of the fact that she didn’t shot a bunny precisely, but rather Reiner’s little cousin, Gabi Braun
- Don’t say that - Said Mikasa, rubbing slow circles on her back, her other hand holding her in a reassuring gesture, her thumbs dragging through her knuckles from time to time - You will just make yourself more upset… We don’t even know hows is her state yet, we have to wait for Eren to tell us -
- She was bleeding right from her eye, Mikasa! - She snapped, the memories of Gabi’s incessant screaming and cussing, trashing on her hold at the same time she did everything possible to stop the blood from coming out, all the while she dialed Eren for help, the whole situation making her cry like a waterfall - It would be a miracle if she is able to see through that eye! I… I became a monster! -
- It was an accident, Sasha, calm down - Mikasa held her hand tightly then, putting her other hand on her shoulder just so she could bring her in a half hug - You are not a monster… Otherwise, you wouldn't brought her to the hospital yourself -
- I still l-left - Her voice started to waver then - I still left… Because I was so scared, Mikasa, I just couldn't stand being there… -
- It's ok - She assured in a low whisper, bringing her head to rest on her shoulder - You did more than enough, we just have to wait and hope for the best -
Sasha nodded her head as a response, her face still hidden in Mikasa's shoulder, getting a little at ease by the way her soothing voice and her understanding words made their way into her head
And just on cue, Eren entered through the main gate of the house, his hand holding the phone he was speaking through the whole time
- I finished talking with Gabi’s doctor just now - He said, face not giving away any kind of emotion
- How is she!? - Sasha stood up suddenly, making her way in front of Eren, Mikasa right behind her, still holding her hand
- He says she had to get stitches at her forehead, near her eye brow - He explained, his words not being the ones she expected - It seems like you got her right above her eye, she got it bruised pretty bad, but nothing that can’t be fixed in a matter of months-
- So… she didn't lose her eye? - Sasha said, hopefully, almost pleading, as if he took matters in her healing. even though he couldn’t take the case himself since he was busy at that time with another patient
- No, not really, her eyes seems fine, only thing is that it will hurt her to open it, so she will be temporarily blind until she can get the stitches out - And just after hearing that, Sasha plopped to the ground, crying all over again, her companions getting to ground too
- I’m… I'm so glad… - She could only thank whatever god was up there for giving her this chance - … I'm so sorry too, guys, really, I don’t know what to say… -
- Yeah, I hope you are, I owe Mike a good one for making him take her case- Agh!, what the hell Mikasa!? - He gaze accusingly at her, his hand rubbing the spot it was pinched by Mikasa
- Not now - She simply said, sending him her no bullshit glare - More importantly, Do their parents know? Does Reiner know? -
- Yeah, I talked to Reiner a little bit after and before Gabi was sent to the hospital - He explained once again - He’s says her parents wants to sue Sasha -
And just when she thought everything would be fine, his words filled her with dread, her imagination sending her to unwanted situations
- Oh god… oh god oh god! - She started clutching at her head bad, she was probably to be sent at jail and she will spend her whole there, and then everybody will know she was sent there for hurting a child and then they will-
- Sasha - This time they both called her name, snapping her out of her daydreaming, one of their hand holding them by the shoulder in a tight grip
- Don’t worry about it, Reiner and I came to an agreement - He told her, reassuring her with the attempt of a smile he could muster up - As long as we pay for her hospital bills, everything will be fine -
- Really!? - She was already feeling dizzy in the roller-coaster of feelings she was currently riding through all of this situation, but felt glad for the news - Wait! What do you mean we?... I was the one who made all this mess, I can’t let you cover my ass in this! - She argued
- … No offense, Sasha, but you could never pay for a doctor appointment on your own, let alone an hospital bill - Stated Mikasa as a matter of a fact, voice seren as always - Besides, you already used most of your money for that trip to your hometown, didn’t you? -
- Yes but- But she could get a refund if it means taking responsibility by herself, as she should be
- She’s right, Sash - Interrupted Eren, backing Mikasa’s statement - Hospital bills are no joking matter, especially in this shitty country, not even I could be able to pay for a broken hand -
- Still, I can’t drag you to my own problems - She kept arguing, she somehow has to learn something because of all of this, and she doesn’t think she will be able to do it if she doesn't do this by herself
- You already know that we don’t mind - Mikasa said right beside Eren, both of them facing her now with small smiles on their faces - Whenever one of us mess it up, we fix it as a team, that's what we agreed when we started all of this -
- Yeah - Eren agreed - Mikasa usually does the helping more often than not, but you already know how many problems I can involve myself into, it's just fair enough I do the same for you -
- You can’t pretend your petty fights with random people are the same as my case, Eren -
- Still, I want to help… We want to help - He sent a look at Mikasa then, with her giving a nod and then the both of them looking back at her - You just gotta promise to take one of us with you when you do this again… deal?”
If it wasn’t because she probably ran out of tears by now, she thinks she could be crying all over again, this time out of joy, out of happiness, out of…
- Have I ever told you how much I love you two? - She said, sincerely, her hands reaching them from behind to give them the tightest hug she could muster at the moment
- Yeah - Once again the both of them said at the same time, hugging her back
- Well, I want to say it again - Separating herself from the hug, she looked at Mikasa straight at her eyes - I love you so much, Miks, you made me fell in love with you again - And if the confession wasn’t impactful enough, she suddenly reached for her chin to give her the biggest smooch on her check she could give, making Mikasa gasp out of shock and then put a big smile on her face
- And I love you too, Eren, even if you are a handful sometimes - Just the same way as Mikasa, she raised herself on her knees a bit to make him clash his check in her mouth, the motion making him giggle, mostly because of the joke she made
- I’m really glad I met you both…- She admitted, Mikasa and Eren’s response being giving back the gesture of affection given, a kiss on the check and on the forehead by the both of them respectively…

Mikasa was already home, trying to rest as much as possible from the strenuous work shift, but still, she couldn’t help but feel stressed, even in her own safe place
It was a tough week, to say the least, too much hard work, long nights spent patrolling the empty, dangerous streets of Liberio were taking a toll at her already, to the point where she was developing a constant headache just as hurtful as the one she used to have when she was nine years old
Still, she didn’t feel like stopping, she couldn’t stop, actually, or else, the raise she could get by showing off a good work wouldn’t be possible, and she would have to wait longer for the cozy cabin in the mountains she wanted to have, and all the time she spent doing long shifts would be wasted
So, that's why she was confronted by the to people she loved the most, she couldn't help but get defensive
- I’m fine, Eren, I’m telling you - She said, rubbing her head, seeing the headache coming already
- You hiss everytime I raise my voice, Mikasa. - He said with a finality tone, handing her a cup of water in hopes of making her feel a bit better - You can’t even open your eyes because lights are bothering you, it’s obvious that you are those long shifts are too much for you -
- I know - She started to rub at her eyes then, hot tears stinging her eyes, her hands starting to shake - But it's gonna be alright, once I get the promotion, I will relax, I swear -
- You will probably die before you get it! - He really wanted to yell that, but he was mindful enough to not do it, coming more like a loud whisper - You are really making us worry here, Mikasa… Your commitment to work is reaching insane levels… Sasha and I are both worried for your well being -
She started tearing up a bit then, his pleading voice one she haven’t heard for a long time, the one he tends to use when he really was worried about something, because otherwise he didn’t like showing his raw emotions
Just before she could say something else, the soft click of the door being opened caught their attention, through the door entering a sweaty, panting Sasha who was struggling to get her breath back, her hand clutching a bag of pharmaceutical goods
- I got them! - She said, happily, the sudden raise of her voice making Mikasa’s head hurt harder, but managing to not let them know - Sorry for being late, the drugstore around the corner ran out of supplies, I had to go to the one five blocks away from here - She then let herself fell on the couch of the living room, her chest heaving like she ran in a five mile competition (she did)
- Don’t worry about it, thanks for going - He went to her side then, taking the bag the held on her grip and unpacking everything and going back to Mikasa in the table of the living room - Here, take these -
She looked at the pill he gave her for some time before taking them, using the cup of water on her hand to glup them up in one go, her head feeling starting to get a bit dizzy before a sharp feeling of another headache started to appear, this time way worse than the ones she felt before
- F-fuck - She cursed quietly, resting her head on the table and hinding herself from the blinding lights that started shinning brighter, almost blinding, hers hands goung through her hair from tima to tima as if trying to get the headaches away with her won hand
- … Is she gonna be ok? - Said Sasha, now feeling a bit rested and taking a seat right beside her, patting her head in a healing gesture, her gaze fixated on Eren
- Yeah, she is gonna be ok… It usually gets worse before it gets better, but still… - Just like Sasha, he didn't like seeing her in so much pain, even less when she was supposed to get better…
-… I got it - He said after being silent for some time, his gaze now on Sasha - Would you mind making that tea she likes so much? the one with the expensive herds Levi brings from time to time? - And without really waiting for an answer, he left, making his way to the bathroom
- Of course - She answered, looking at him entering the bathroom and turning on the lights, along the water faucet - But what are you going to do? -
- You will know when I get it done - He said simply, his voice being muffled by the constant noise of water hitting the floor
.
.
.
- You know… If I can get this by missing some days at work, I wouldn’t mind taking some vacations -
And who wouldn’t honestly? She was probably having the best time she ever had on her entire week
Enjoying a nice hot bath in the tub in this merciless cold weather was already great by itself, the warm water made her stiff muscles relax and the headache still present in her head started to fade out little by little
And if that wasn’t good enough, she got the soft body of Sasha right behind her, sharing her warmness with her by the tight fit the bathtub made them to, and having her hands rubbing themselves soothingly in her shoulders, arms and hips, while on the other hand Eren made sure to take the extenuation out of her lower half, hands massaging her thighs and her legs in a way that could be able to make her fall asleep right there, the cherry on the top would be the nice cup of tea she was currently holding on her hands, making sure not to get water in there and drinking it from time to time
- Yeah, I bet you would - Eren said, his hands mindlessly going up and down her legs, his hand covered in soap and his clothes wet a little bit since he had to sit in a stool near the tub - I hope you don’t mind sharing with Sasha though - he let out a chuckle
- Give me a break, will you? I don’t want to sleep reeking of sweat! - She said, raising her voice once again, but even if Mikasa found it annoying since she was right it right beside her ear, it was actually bearable this time, not nearly as bad as before
- Don’t worry, I don’t mind at all - After all, she was the one who probably ran all the way there and back just for her - Thanks again, Sasha, Eren, you really were my lifesavers -
- You are welcome, Miks - She said, making her hands go all the way from her shoulders to her back, the position a bit uncomfortable but still being able to rub the muscles or her back nicely, which earned a breathy moan out of her
.- Yeah, no problem - He said half heartedly, shamelessly paying more attention to where his hand where touching her, making their way up to appreciate her as a whole, especially those big breast that for some reason Sasha felt like hiding them from his sight using her hands
.- Don't - she said, holding them tighter on her slippery hands
.- … "Don't"? Don't what? -
.- You know what I mean - She showed him her best impression of a accusing look then - Miks is not in the mood to fool around -
Now, that was just mean
He knew when to do his moves on her!… on them, more precisely
.- … For what kind of lustful beast do you take me for? - He said, half joking half seriously
.- I take you for the kind of one that can't see my butt on underwear without feeling like spanking it! - She seriously started to become paranoiac of him catching her by surprise, even when he wasn't at home at the moment
.- It's not my fault! You are the one tempting me with those shorts! - They hugged her checks so nicely, he just couldn't help it - Plus, your ass is great to spank -
.- I can't believe you just said you feel entitled to touch me just because of my fashion choice, Eren Mathew Yeager - She said, feign shock, calling out his full name just because she knew he gets annoyed when someone says his second name - I really thought Mikasa raised you better than this! -
.- Hey! Hold on a second! That sounds really really bad! - He argued, catching easily what she implied - Tell her something, Mikasa! -
.- … Don't be a baby, Eren - Mikasa said, her voice feeling heavy with sleep, Sasha giggling and Eren growling because of what she said - She was joking… Right, Sasha? -
.- I mean… he kind of-
.- I said "Right, Sasha?- Voice stern this time
.- Yes! Of course I am! - She couldn't help but sweat cold
She let out a big chuckle then, the one she wouldn't let out if she wasn't enjoying herself, assuring them both that she was doing fine now
.- …I'm really sorry, Sasha, Eren - She said now, regret and shame in her tiny voice - I made you two worry over me… I promise not to… not to do it again… - And just before she could say something else, she fell asleep, the motion of their hands that kept doing wonders on her body finally pulling her to rest, the cup of tea she was holding now floating in the warm water
.- … I guess it is time to get some sleep - Withdrawing his hands from her, he got the only two towels near him, using one to dry his hands and toss the other for Sasha to take - Help me to take her out -
.- Sure - She answered, wrapping herself in the towel and helping him to take her out of the tub to their shared bedroom…

To say Eren was mad would be an understatement, and a big one, mostly considering how riled he could get for silly, little things such as people walking too slowly, to put up an example
Now imagine the venom he could seeth directly from his mouth when he gets bothered by drunk assholes while doing his own work fucking work, moreso when he was the one treating them to begin with
He already was told that he would involve in this kind of situations more often than not, but with every passing day his annoyance about the whole thing didn’t become bearable, if anything, it grew stronger, the things he had to witness at work didn’t help either
He almost started throwing hands with them the moment they started talking shit about his paradisian heritage, about how their people came to their country just to steal their jobs (as if we wasn't the one offered to come here by them to begin with), their women, and a big pile of bulshit that he didn’t feel like to answer back
Seriously, not only were they idiots who didn’t do any better than to spend their weekends drowning themselves in alcohol like not tomorrow, but they also happened to be racist assholes too?
Just what he fucking needed
He really had to take a break the moment he was told that those idiot were responsible of a nasty accident not too long ago, which is the reason why they were at the hospital he was currently working at to begin with
The last thing he needs is to be kicked out of his job because of “unprofessional behavior”, they really need to come up with a better judgment about that stupid shit, it shouldn’t be his fault if he started to beat the shit out of them, he was the one being harrassed!
And just like that, his mood was ruined for probably the rest of the day, even for the rest of the week if he was reminded constantly enough that there is a high number of people who constantly looked down and talked shit about him just because he is Paradisian, how could they even tell to begin with!? Do they all have a sensor shoved up in their ass that tells them when to behave like fucking idiots?
And so, that's how he ended up there, sitting in front of the sofa with his two companions both on each of his sides, the three of them watching the new series Netflix started to stream, enjoying the little time could get together as much as they can, or that would be the case if his mind was nice enough to let him relax instead of replay the whole damn situation in his head, making it impossible to pay attention to the television
- … Is something the matter? - Mikasa asked, taking his attention from his own mind to his left where she was seated
- … No - He answered, way too dryly and quickly for his own taste, taking his eyes back to the tv in front of him
- Are you sure? - She insisted, her gaze still on him, getting a little bit closer as if inspecting him - You are usually this quiet when something is bothering you… Or when you bothered someone -
The red haired girl on his right couldn’t help but giggle at that, now paying attention to their conversation
- … It wasn’t me this time - He admitted, realizing that he won’t be able to play it off this time - It was just Marleyan scum giving me shit at my work again -
- … I’m telling Armin’s girlfriend you said that - It was Sasha this time, not missing any opportunity to mess with him - And then Reiner, Bertholdt, Pieck, Nicco, and-
- Alright I got it, I didn’t mean it like that - He said, giving up before she seriously started thinking about it, the last thing he needs is their close friends thinking he was an unidimensional racist too - It’s not my fault those assholes happened to be Marleyans though -
- You could at least word it in a better way - Mikasa came closer to him then, putting her head on his shoulder - I don’t want you to behave like them, it won't do any good to you -
- … Sorry - He apologized sincerely, not really thinking about that when he was lost in his own mind
Great, now he felt guilty
Maybe he could call it a night for today, get a nice long rest and wake up in a better mood tomorrow, he hasn’t been in a really good place ever since what happened today at work, he could really use some sleep now
But before he could really say something, Mikasa started to hog on him from his left side, her left leg right above his waist and her arm wrapping itself around his torso, her chest squashed tightly on his side, her remaining hand placing itself above his own
He wanted to retort at that, ask her what was she doing, but it only took him looking straight at her eyes to know what was her idea with all of this, so he only reciprocate the gesture by holding her by the waist even closer to him, the hand held by her resting on her hip, making himself more comfortable in the fairly big couch they were
It’s not a secret for the two of them the fact that Mikasa’s calming demeanor rubbed on him quiet easily, moreso when he was being moody or when he had a bad day
It’s always been like this, when he felt bad or something similar, she would be there to comfort him in the best way she could, all the way from childhood to almost adulthood, and for that he would always be grateful
- … I guess some things never change huh - Said Sasha, looking at the both of them from above, a full smile displayed on her face, probably remembering the times she was there with them, when things were more innocent and less difficult
Still, he couldn’t help but feel like something was missing…
…
Oh yeah, that's right
- What are you waiting for? - He asked her, his free hand making the motion of telling her to come closer on his right side - Your boyfriend here got a bad day at work, he could really use some cuddling -
Mikasa was the one who laughed this time at his shameless behavior, Sasha just rolled her eyes before throwing herself at him, mimicking the way Mikasa was wrapped on him
- It’s just like Mikasa said - Her breath tickled him in the neck, her fingers going up and down in the little space the both left of his chest - You are a big baby -
- Breastfeed me then - The words left his mouth way before he thought about them
But still its not like he would have made something to stop them from doing it
Sasha let out a growl in annoyance - You are also very good at ruining the mood - She joked, trying to give him a retort but not quite able to come up with a better response - How come I'm the only one you harass like this? Mikasa is your girlfriend too, you know? -
- Yes, but it’s not the same, I love your reactions more… they are funnier, look - And raising his hands from Mikasa’s waist, he let it fall hard on her back side, the impact echoing through the whole room with a loud smack, the thin material oh her booty shorts not quite able to protect ther, making her squeak in a high pitch tone that didn’t quite satisfy him
- See? she barely reacts- AHG! I’m sorry I’m sorry! - And if the shriek Mikasa let out wasn’t enough to make Sasha let tears of laugh, Eren’s pleads for mercy to make Mikasa let go his nipple from her merciless pinch sure did
- At least warn me before you do something like that - Mikasa warned, half joking half serious, Eren’s hand rubbing itself against the reddened skin in an apology gesture
- Alright - He said then, letting himself enjoy now the closeness of the 2 most importants persons in his life right now, both of them making him feel relaxed and happy in ways that he didn’t know it was possible
He really was a lucky bastard huh
- Thanks, you two - He said suddenly, and quickly gave them a peck at them both in the scalp of her heads, not really wanting to move from the position he was to give them the proper smooch they deserve, maybe later - I don’t feel like killing anyone anymore, I feel like a renewed man -
- You are welcome - Mikasa said, raising her head to meet his eyes with her own - Just tell us when something is bothering you, ok? -
- Yeah, that’s right - Sasha interrupted - You look ugly when you are mad -
He let out a soft chuckle - …Aight, I will -
He then took his attention back to the tv, hoping to enjoy the little time left they had together before they rose up for some reason, their faces now at the same level as his
Before he could ask what were they doing, the both of them came closer to him in sync, each one kissing on either side of his face, Mikasa's black lipstick surely leaving a mark, and Sasha's wet lips doing the same, and right when they felt it was enough, they both went back, this time resting their heads on his chest
Yeah, he really was the luckiest bastard...
