Summary
"What am I to you?” Eren says, and Mikasa feels the bed drop out from under her.
What isn’t he to her, would be an easier question to answer, and thousands of responses spring into Mikasa’s mind: brother, friend, rival, nuisance, crush, leader, her reason for being. Maybe in another life, her lover. None of these are quite right, she realizes, letting the words melt under her tongue, tasting bitter and incomplete in her mouth. “You’re family,” she says, finally, without meeting Eren’s gaze, and as she speaks the word she’s painfully, painfully aware of its insufficiency.
“Family?” He inches closer to her, so their knees are brushing, and the touch feels warm and electric against the coolness of the sheets. “Is that your final answer?”
Mikasa's been fantasizing about Eren for years. As it turns out, her desire may not be as unrequited as she thought.
