A lovely commission from freshmarketapple
I was asked to write and voice a 4 minute Mikasa confession to an ambiguous listener <3
Follow along with the script below!
The Situation: You’ve been having feelings for the strong and powerful Mikasa Ackerman ever since joining the Survey Corps. You’ve been trying to hide your feelings, however. One night, you receive a small invitation from Mikasa to meet at the back wall of the Survey Corps Headquarters the night before the exhibition outside the wall. You follow the instruction that night and meet up with Mikasa.
(You sneak outside the building and walk around it to the back wall. As you turn the corner, you see Mikasa looking up at the night sky. As you stop, she looks and speaks to you.)
You came.. I hoped you would.. I’m sorry for bringing you out like this. This was kind of the only chance I had to show you something. (You ask, “Show me something?”) Yes. I wanted to show you something for a while now, but I didn’t want anyone else knowing about it, so I set up this meeting. Is that okay? (You say it’s okay and ask what it is she wanted to show you.)
(Mikasa begins to walk towards the surrounding forests.) Good. Now. Follow me. (You follow. As you walk through the forest, you ask where she’s taking you.)
There’s a place I discovered during 3D Gear training. It’ll take a while to get there, but it’ll be worth the walk. (You ask about using your 3D maneuver instead of walking) We’re not allowed to use our gear unless we’re training or on a mission, remember? Our gear is locked up. Besides… it kind of gives us time to talk on the way. We barely have time to talk because of training and chores, so why not talk now?
(You ask her how she’s been doing) Huh?… I’ve been fine, I guess. I’m worried about the exhibition tomorrow, though. (You ask why.) Isn’t it obvious? It’s a mission outside the walls. Anything can happen. Any of us going out there can die and never come back.. (You try to be positive but she shakes her head) That’s the truth of it.. Even Eren will be in danger out there..
(You ask her why she’s so concerned with Eren) Eren’s my family. He saved me and his family took me in when I had no one.. He became like a brother to me.. I owe him and care for him. (You mention how she’s a bit overprotective of him and she stares at you in surprise.) Huh? Overprotective? Do I really come off as over-protective? (You INSTANTLY say yes, making her laugh a bit) Hahaha.. No wonder people are scared of me when I’m with him..
Are you scared of me? (You instantly say no, making her chuckle a bit) Well, that’s a relief.
We’re here. Take a look. (She stops and points to a large, beautiful lake where the moon is glimmering over the water. You stare in awe as she speaks)
I wanted to show you this because I knew you’d like it as much as I did. It’s a beautiful sight, isn’t it? The only peaceful part of this world for miles.. To think that we may not be able to see this lake again..
(You ask her why she’s showing you this. Mikasa turns to face you) I know you like me. (You try to deny it but she holds up her hand to stop you) And that’s alright. I understand your feelings for me.. and I thank you for them.. And… I know we haven’t talked much.. but.. I guess you could say.. I like you too.. I want to be able to share these feelings with you and learn more about these feelings.. (You ask why you two can’t.)
I’m just.. I’m worried about what will happen tomorrow.. once we go through that gate, anything can happen.. I could die.. you could die.. we both can die out there.. The reason I brought you here was so we could have that one moment of peace before we have to fight the world once again tomorrow..
And yet.. now, being here with you… I want to stay here and just stay in this moment for as long as we can.. I saw this lake before, and yet… It feels nice to see this place with you near me.. It’s probably the one nice thing I’ve experienced in a long time..
Heh.. I’m terrible at this. I’m sorry.. Armin told me to let out my feelings, but.. hehe, this is harder than it looks… I mean, I can’t even make sense right now. I’m just going on and on about the exhibition and the lake that I’m mumbling random things an— mm! (Out of instinct, you grab her and kiss her. She slowly melts into your kiss and wraps her arms around you before pulling away and smiling)…
Do you mind… staying here with me? I don’t feel like leaving this place for a while and.. it’s nicer when you’re here with me… (You tell her that you’ll stay with her)
