➕Gothic ➕- Mikasa Ackerman x fem reader

• S E V E N •

You stand in the middle as Mikasa pulls tall candles out of her bag, placing them around the edge of the clearing, pushing them into the dirt, lighting them with a small lighter. You were getting a little nervous.

"What's gonna happen Mikasa" you whisper, a slight tremble of fear in your voice. It was no secret that you were freaked out by Mikasa's occult hobbies and freaky rituals, and she usually kept them as tame as possible whenever you were around, but this was totally different from past things she's done.

Mikasa turns around from her last candle. "Close your eyes y/n" she says quietly.

"H-huh?" You stutter and flinch, feeling more fear by the second.

Mikasa stands up and takes a few steps closer to you. "Trust me." "Please."

God you could never say no to this girl.

With hesitation you close your eyes, keeping your feet rooted to the ground, your body tensing. You heard Mikasa take a few more steps before she stops, and the silence of the night fills your ears, your eyes remaining closed.

"Mikasa" you whisper, scared that something could have happened to her.

Next thing you knew, a pair of warm hands cupped around your face, fingers splayed slightly as you feel the warmth of another body get closer to yours.

"Y/n" Mikasa whispers back.

A pair of warm lips softly collide with yours.

Mikasa.

Mikasa's lips. On yours.

Kissing you.

Her warm breath ghosting your face as she kisses you, her hands still cradling your face, body pressing up against you.

It was surreal. The girl you've been in love with since you met her was kissing you in the woods in the middle of the night.

All thoughts leave your brain except for the sensation of Mikasa's kiss. Your hands ghost at her waist, but before you could fully place them, she pulls away.

Your eyes fly open to see Mikasa red face mere inches away from yours. The faint light of the surrounding candles illuminating her features; glinting off her jewellery and surrounding her with an aura of warmth.

Barely meeting your eyes, Mikasa takes a quiet deep breath.

"I love you y/n" she whispers, hands beginning to tremble slightly against your face; wether from the cold or nerves you weren't really sure.

In the fraction of a second it took you to process her words, your body had no other reaction than to encircle her waist and capture her soft lips again, shutting your eyes and kissing Mikasa with a certain fervour and passion you didn't know you had.

You two kiss, the action filled with affection and warmth. Mikasa's arms snake around your shoulders in an attempt to bring your body even closer. You tighten your arms around her waist as you continue to kiss her, pushing your body as far as it could go without going for air.

Eventually the two of you needed to breathe; your lips pulling away from each other, breathing heavily, yet keeping your foreheads connected.

You take a few seconds for your brain to stop freaking out, and manage to whisper out a few intelligible words.

"I love you too Mikasa" you say. Eyes remaining closed in fear of breaking this illusion, for that's what it must be.

But it's not.

You feel Mikasa nuzzle her face into your neck, hugging you fully. The two of you stand in each other's embrace for a few minutes, bodies full of heat and joy.

You felt euphoric.

Eventually Mikasa pulls away. "We should head back" she whispers. You think she might be upset at first, but she turns her face to you and you see the wide smile on her face, and the stars reflected in her eyes.

Your throat closes up, and you feel it hard to swallow. You can tell your own eyes are wide and full of love, but you could only choke out an okay before you two put out all of the candles and run back to your house.

Having arrived back without being caught, you and Mikasa head to your bedroom, both of you turning away to change into your pj's and turn down for the night.

Costumes and makeup off, you and Mikasa crawl back into the blanket fort and Mikasa silently plays the movie where it left of.

Hardly thinking, you reach over and pull her into your body, making sure she's comfortable. Mikasa tucks herself into you, lying her head against your shoulder; neither of you saying anything at all.

You share a few small kisses here and there; you kissing her head whenever you could, and Mikasa tilting her head to kiss your cheek.

A few hours later, it's obvious the both of you are tired. With reluctance you pull away from Mikasa and her warmth to turn off the tv and clear the snacks from your pile of blankets and pillows. Deeming it comfortable enough, you crawl under the makeshift bed that Mikasa made, and pulled her body back into yours. She snuggles against you as close as she can, and you drift off holding the girl you love,

the girl who loves you,

in your arms.
