➕Gothic ➕- Mikasa Ackerman x fem reader

• S E V E N •

Mikasa adds her own complements to yours, and the three of you fall into conversation. A couple minutes later, Eren joins up with your group; he left a few minutes after Mikasa so he arrived later. As soon as Eren said his greetings, you could see Armin's face turn red as he turns away from Eren's gaze.

The bell rings, saving you four from any more awkward situations, and you head into the school, seeing only a few other students dressed for Halloween.

The school day creeps by slowly; your classes dragging along, five minutes feeling like hours. You had a few people complement your costume, but you heard a few snarky comments as well; particularly from Historia Reiss and her other prep friends.

You brushed them off; thinking anyone who didn't dress up as super lame.

Eventually the final bell rings, and you join Mikasa at the front, ready to head back to your place. Armin and Eren join too, both just planning on walking with you and heading in their own directions.

Your group was a strange sight, but you had some fun conversations with each other, getting along just fine. Eventually, you all part ways and you and Mikasa head back to your place.

Heading inside, your (guardian) greets the both of you and tells Mikasa that her mom had dropped off all the baked goods, and also handed you an assorted box of chocolate bars as well. You two go into your bedroom and make a blanket Fort on your floor, setting up the TV that your (guardian/s) let you move to your room for the weekend. Playing music and having fun, you and Mikasa get comfortable and start your sugar buffet and Halloween/horror movie marathon. You guys only taking a break to eat a somewhat healthy dinner, and then straight back to the sweets.

A few hours later, closer to midnight, Mikasa quickly peeks outside of your bedroom, looking around your dark house. Quietly slipping back into the Fort, she pauses the movie and turns to you.

"Hey, your (guardian/s) are asleep. Lets get out of here" she whispers. Your eyes widen in surprise. Sneak out? You'd get smacked into the 2010's if you were ever caught.

"I don't know Mikasa" you start. "We could get into really big trouble if I'm caught sneaking around. Especially since it's late and only the troublemakers are out at this hour" you tell her, your obvious nerves visible on your face.

Slowly, Mikasa takes both your hands in hers, looking at you through her dark eyelashes.

"Do you trust me y/n?" She says quietly, a strange sort of look on her face; a cross between hope and something you couldn't place.

Swallowing a heavy feeling in your throat, you hesitate, but the look in Mikasa's eyes was hard to resist. Slowly you nod. "Okay" you whisper.

Mikasa pulls you up and grabs a small black velvet bag, probably filled with some sort of tools for one of her freaky rituals. There was no doubt that was what she wanted to do out there in the dark.

The two of you exit the house as quietly as you could, and run out into the darkened streets. It was late enough that there were no more trick or treaters out. Mikasa grabs your cold hand in her warm one, and starts pulling you in a direction. You follow her quick pace, the two of you still in your capes and costumes; the feeling of her warm soft hand in yours; a comfort against the cold crisp night.

Eventually the two of you come upon the woods nearby, and Mikasa pulls out a flashlight and drags you in; sure of where she was headed. A few minutes later, you arrive at a small clearing. Despite the creepy night, it was peaceful; colourful leaves on the trees and the forest floor, the branches reaching and curling around the soft moon.
