• Smiling when the phone rings and their picture pops up •
Omg please do a modern AU drabble for Porco and Mikasa with this 🥰 We need the fluff right now!
i’m sorry you had to wait a few days for this but i hope it’s what you wanted (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ♥︎
Mikasa is not normally a vocal person. She is quite emotional and feels things very strongly, but she has an excellent poker face and is able to keep a neutral expression. Eren has always envied this about her, and Armin has learned to read her like one of his many books he adores.
There’s a small shift whenever she gets certain phone calls, though.
Armin notices first. Eren is none the wiser.
Her eyes widen ever so slightly, and she’s quicker to pick up her phone. She walks away, and they allow her privacy, but Armin’s attention flicks over to her as she talks for a few minutes. There’s a spring in her step when she returns, but he doesn’t question her.
Eventually, Eren catches on.
There’s a small upward curve of her lips when her phone rings. Her slate eyes brighten like the sun creeping through storm clouds. She picks idly at the hem of her shirt - a nervous habit she has - and then it hits them both.
She’s seeing someone.
Unbeknownst to them, they already know him.
Mikasa met him through Pieck. Pieck had been pestering her about setting her up on a blind date with her friend who’s been single and wants something genuine. Worst case scenario, they can have a fling, but Pieck knew both parties weren’t a one night stand type.
“He’s a big softie,” Pieck assured Mikasa. “He just talks a lot of shit.”
Sure enough, he is.
Porco is a newer addition to their friend group, thanks to Pieck and Reiner. He butts heads with Eren on occasion, given both of their tempers, but they diffuse easily. He keeps up in conversation with Armin when it takes a philosophical turn. He has an appetite to rival Sasha and Connie. Jean was wary of him at first, but he secretly can see the way that Porco looks at Mikasa when everyone else isn’t paying attention; he used to give her the same look before he fell head over heels for Pieck.
A normal day out for lunch, Mikasa’s phone rings. Eren and Armin share a look as Mikasa breaks into a wide smile and her cheeks flush a light shade of pink.
“We’re in the back,” she says softly into her phone. Something must be said that’s amusing, because she hides a giggle behind her hand. “Hush. It’s fine. Just come over here.” She hangs up and sets her phone down, pointedly avoiding her friends’ gazes.
Eren is the one to break.
“Alright, Mika - who is it?”
She doesn’t meet his eye, but her cheeks darken. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Her attempt at dodging the topic is futile, because Porco approaches and beelines for her. She looks up at him and her smile betrays her, and he sits beside her - though not without leaning in to kiss her.
He kisses her.
And then he sits down beside her like it’s totally normal, asking her how the day has been for her, all while Eren and Armin are gaping at them.
Porco shifts in his seat, tossing an embarrassed look in return. “What?”
“You - she - “ Eren sputters while Armin suddenly pieces it all together.
“You asked,” Mikasa interrupts matter-of-factly, “now you have your answer.”
Armin just smiles, and Eren can’t find the words to be surprised anymore, so he just grumbles to himself that he could’ve guessed.
Beneath the table, Porco slides a hand over Mikasa’s thigh, and she laces their fingers together.
