——Sasha pov—-

"Did you tell Mikasa to talk to Eren?"

"Yes! Multiple times Have you told Eren to talk to Mikasa?"

Shaking his head Armin ran his hand though his blonde hair "I have. They are both very stubborn"

"I have an idea!" I suddenly said. I'm a genius.

Messaging his temple Armin raised an eyebrow for me to continue "we lock them in a closet" I deadpanned

"That's a terrible idea Sasha. It's going to be your fault if one of them ends up dead"

"It's not going to be my fault Armin?"

"Then why are you saying it like a question?"

"Why are you? also you are locking them in"

"That doesn't make sense sasha" he scolded while shifting in his seat, playing with the straw of his drink he looked up at me "Why don't you just lock them in a closet? That should work right? It doesn't have to be me"

"Me? Why cant you!" I argued "Ok here's the plan. You get Eren and I get Mikasa, we lead them to a clos-" I paused while dragging a hand down my face "this is stupid why are we even doing this?"

Armin sighed while shrugging and taking a sip of his milkshake, this morning we planned to meet up at the diner to discuss the...uh current situation? With Eren and Mikasa.

"I don't think we should do this" Armin said while shaking his head "they will definitely kill us and it's not that bad"

"Not that bad?" I deadpanned "Mikasa threw a shoe at Erens head"

*

"Fuck off!" Mikasa yelled, while I sat on her bed watching Eren and her's very....polite conversation

Rolling his eyes Eren stuck up the middle finger "fuck you! What the hell did I do?"

"Just leave before I throw a fucking shoe at you" she glared at him while I tried very hard not to laugh.

"I'm waiting for Armin you asshole"

"Get the fuck out of my dorm Eren"

Glaring at Mikasa he put on his shoes and reached for the door handle "Asshole" he muttered before walking out

"Fuck you!" Mikasa said while walking to the door waiting for him to close it so she can lock it

Leaving the dorm Eren looked back and smirked at Mikasa "I bet you'd love too"

Immediately Mikasa grabbed a shoe and aimed it at the back of Eren's head causing him to yell but Mikasa slammed the door shut.

"You guys are children" I laughed while holding my stomach

That shit was hilarious

*

"I've seen worse" Armin replied

"Eren threw a volleyball at Mikasa while she was running suicides." I paused "She tripped and brought me down with her"

*

"Mikasa chill out" I said while we ran our suicides, touching the base line and starting again "you know I can't understand Japanese especially when you're mad"

"Sorry" She said while running slightly ahead of me but not full sprinting "Erens just a fucking asshole"

I nodded in agreement even though I had no opinion on the matter "Have you tried to talk to him?"

"No" Mikasa said while touching the half court line "and I don't want too"

Rolling my eyes I touched the line and sped up my pace so I could run beside her "you know" I breathed "I say you talk to him one more time"

"I rather talk to a fucking bird" she deadpanned

I laughed "that's funny. Trust me Mikasa if it doesn't work out then you can shoot me" I smiled at her. Of course I won't get shot.

"Yeah yeah it's just annoying ho-" she got cut off by a volleyball hitting her causing her to trip but who was beside her? Me.

"Ow!" I yelled out while I hit my forehead on the gym floor, Mikasas hand still holding my wrist. Her face was on the gym floor and you could hear her groaning in pain

"Sorry Sasha!" Eren yelled while leaving the gym

Mikasa slammed her fist on the gym floor "I'll kill him"

*

Armin laughed while eating a fry"They're fin-"

Armin was interrupted by a person swearing under their breath and plopping down beside him in our booth "Don't. Fucking. Ask." Eren spat while rubbing his eyes

Holding in a laugh I looked at Erens face- more like what was on it "I love your glasses and the little dick on the corner of your forehead" I smiled.

"I fucking fell asleep in class and I wake up to see that Mikasa drew A dick and glasses around my eyes. It's in fucking permanent marker!"

Eren looked away for a second to which I looked at Armin and mouthed 'not that bad?' While raising an eyebrow

Armin rolled his eyes and smiled while nodding 'The closet it is' he mouthed back to which I happily nodded

————-

"Hey Mikasa!" I yelled while running up to her in the hallway to which she stopped and waited for me to start walking again

She smiled at me after I fell in step with her "Hey Sash" she paused "what's up? You don't have class right now"

"So?"

"You should be asleep" she pointed out "You always sleep between classes"

I waved a hand in dismal while we turned a corner "I got bored?"

She hummed in response, grabbing her arm I led her towards a different hallway-opposite of the door to leave the building "Sasha where are we going?"

Still pulling her arm towards the closet which was now approaching I said "I forgot I need to grab a janitors outfit"

She raised an eyebrow at me "why?"

"Cause uh...." I looked around the hall my eyes locking on the poster hanging "the dance is coming up and Connie and I wanted to go as janitors"

"The dance?" She questioned "what dance and why would you wear that?"

"The dance is like next week I think and Connie and I thought it would be nice to be different you know?"

"Sasha it isn't even a dance it's a full on gala the dress code is fancy" she pointed out while we stopped in-front of the door not going in yet

"Yeah yeah can you go in and turn the light on" I opened the door "the switch is at the very back"

She rolled her eyes and entered the closet "where's the switch?!" She called out while banging a bucket causing it to make a sound.

"On the right!" It's on the left "behind the plank" there's no plank "On the bottom" it's on the top left corner.

"Sasha!" A voice whispered yelled into my ear, turning to see a blonde boy running up to me with Eren who was on his phone following behind Armin

"Armins she's inside" I whispered while taking the key out of my pocket and a lipstick, dropping the lipstick and making it roll into the room I sighed obnoxiously loud causing Eren to look up from his phone

"What?" He asked

"Can you grabe my lipstick I dropped it and it rolled in the room" I said while looking through my purse making it seem I was busy "please?"

Rolling his eyes Eren stepped into the closet right as Armin slammed the door shut and I locked it with the key-whom I got from the friendly janitor

"Hey Armin!" Eren called out while banging at the door before screaming "Fuck Mikasa! Why are you In Here?!"

"Me?! Why are you in here!" She yelled back before coming up to the door and looking through the window "Sasha" she glared at me "open this fucking door" she spat while trying to turn the door knob

Breaking eye contact from her death glare I looked towards Armin who was shaking his head 'no'

"Uh sorry?"

"Sasha!" she yelled while hitting the window "I'll fucking shoot you"

"Bye" Armin said while grabbing my wrist and dragging me away from the door 'I'm sorry' I mouthed to Mikasa which she flipped me off before disappearing

——Mikasa pov——

I'll kill her.

And Armin. I'll kill them both.

Going to the back wall I slid down it and brought my knees to my chest and laid my head on my knees. I hate tight spaces and this closet barley has room to walk around.

A grumble was sounded by the door as Eren slid down the door and sat there in the same position as me.

"What did you do?" He asked while looking at me but I couldn't really see him seeing how I couldn't fine the fucking light switch

"Me?" I raised an eyebrow "what did you do?" I spat while turning my head to the side.

"Clearly You got us in this mess"

I rolled my eyes "are you stupid? Or are you just you?" I paused while leaning my cheek on my knee "I didn't get us in this fucking mess asshole"

"Whatever" he muttered

Anyways.

This is very fucking stupid. Why the hell am I even here? Fucking Sasha and Armin trying to be Cupid of some shit.

I'll stomp on both of them.

*ring

Looking towards my phone I saw it was Levi calling "Hello?" I answered while glancing towards Eren who was playing with his rings

"Are you busy?" He asked while people could be heard in the background

I looked around where I was at. Not busy? "Uh I'm not?"

"Can you come to the house today I need your help with something"

I pulled the phone away from my ear and quickly looking at the time '5:30' "what time do you want me to go?"

"Like 7:30"

I nodded even though he couldn't see me "yeah I'll come over" if I'm out of the fucking closet. I thought I already came out of the closet.

"Bye" he said while hanging up not letting me say bye

Assholeee

"Where are you going?" Eren asked while clearing this throat and sitting up more, his knees up and his arms resting on them.

I glanced at him with a raised eyebrow "What? Why do you care" I scoffed while looking away

"Whatever" he mumbled "I was just fucking asking"

"Yeah well don't"

——Armin pov——

Was it a dumb idea to lock them in a closet?

Yes.

Was it necessary?

Absolutely.

They act like they are in grade five again with their fucking feelings. How hard is it to tell your best friend you are in love with them?

Scratch that.

That seems hard. Not me though y'all stay safe.

"How long has it been?" I asked while sitting up from Mikasa's bed

Sasha glanced over at me before checking the time on her watch "It's 6:00"

Both my eyebrows shot up "what?!"

"What?"

"We were only supposed to keep them in the closet for 15 minutes! Not half an hour!" I scolded while jumping off Mikasa's bed and going to the door "lets go"

——third person pov——

Confessing your love for someone is Essentially, taking a part of you that's vulnerable, weak, and presenting it to another person who may or may not treat it as a football.

Most people (Eren and Mikasa) don't like this feeling of vulnerability. In some sense, the object of these feelings has power over the one who feels it. For instance, someones partner could have quite easily crushed someone's heart with just a few words and That person who's heart had been crushed wouldn't have been able to do anything to stop it. No one likes that kind of pain. At least, no one I've ever met.

It can be difficult to admit to someone that you are into them because of the risk of embarrassment or rejection. It can also make you feel a little out of control when you give someone that kind of information about your emotions and you don't know what their reaction will be.

Now imagine if you have a big ego. Imagine being rejected by the one person you love

It is hard to confess your feelings for someone. Its hard because you are basically giving a piece of you to that person and hoping to goodness that person treats that bit of your heart with great care and tenderness and accepts what you are offering. Nobody likes the feeling of being rejected.

Denial is an attempt to cope, rationalize, or excuse behaviors in one way or another. It refers to failing to acknowledge an unacceptable emotion or truth. Denial can sometimes seem irrational, but it is used as a defense mechanism against situations or circumstances that are painful and overwhelming.

Denial can also be the death of you.

Unlike these individuals, many people are unaware that being loved or especially valued makes them feel angry and withholding. Indeed, this paradoxical reaction is largely an unconscious process. Even a simple compliment, although initially accepted at face value and enjoyed, can later arouse feelings of disbelief or anger toward the person giving the compliment, or can trigger negative attitudes and critical feelings towards oneself.

Denial will kiss you and it will be the death of you if you let it get in the way.

Some people don't like actually admitting that they like someone. For example Eren likes Mikasa but doesn't act on it because he is afraid that she will reject him but in reality Mikasa likes him just as much as he likes her.

But she doesn't act on it, no she's happy with just staying friends even though she wants more but doesn't want to risk losing him all together.

Love blinds the unfortunate but also reveals the truth.

Stop stressing in life It's not like we are going to make it out of this alive.

—————

Kicking a bucket towards Eren, Mikasa abruptly stood up "Just shut up!" She yelled while running a hand through her hair.

Standing up just as quickly Eren yelled back "I'll shut up when you shut up!"

Armin and Sashas plan was not working. At all.

Walking towards the door Mikasa wiggled the handle desperately trying to get the door open "I didn't do shit!" She spat while turning slightly to see Eren watching her with crossed arms

"You were talking shit about me!"

Mikasa groaned while dragging a hand down her face "I was talking shit about you to you! Not some random"

"You're actually fucking annoying" Eren said lowly while walking up to Mikasa which she turned towards him and crossed her arms

Rolling her eyes she responded "Yeah? Well so are you"

"How?"

"Because-" Mikasa was cut off by him

"Because I kissed you?" He raised an eyebrow at Mikasa while walking closer to her- closing the distance "It's cause I kissed you right? That's why you're acting like this" He grinned making Mikasa even angrier.

Stepping back until Mikasa's back hits the door She glared at him "you think because you fucking kissed me is why I'm acting like this?" She said angrily. Oh She wanted to kill this guy.

Shaking her head repeatedly while crossing her arms She looked at him "You're so fucking delusional Eren"

"Am I now?" He walked closer to her since She backed up

Nodding Mikasa looked around the closet "Yeah you fucking are. You aren't that special for me to be mad at you" She shrugged. Liar, why are you lying to him?

Obviously Eren took offence to this because his grin dropped and was replaced by a glare "Bullshit"

"Honestly you think you're so special well guess what Eren! You're not!"

Most hated flaw that Mikasa had was self sabotage. Why you may ask? Because without even thinking Mikasa would self sabotage. From starting a book she knew she couldn't finish to telling the most important person in her life that he meant nothing.

Self-sabotage is behavior that undermines your success despite your own wishes, dreams or values.

The roots of self-sabotage often lie in low self-esteem, negative self-talk, and related negative emotions, which are continually reinforced by the resulting failure.

Self-sabotage refers to behaviors or thought patterns that hold you back and prevent you from doing what you want to do and all Mikasa wanted to do was to yell 'I'm sorry' while wrapping her arms around Eren, but she couldn't, she couldn't stop this hill she was rolling down from.

But Mikasa wants the only one who self sabotages. Eren also does the same and sometimes it's worse

"Perfect!" Eren yelled with a big smile plastered on his face, of course it was a fake smile "You think I want to be important to you?"

"Well you aren't so"

"Good!"

"Great!"

"Fucking peachy!" He paused "So you don't care if I go on a date with Hitch?"

Mikasa raised both eyebrows at the question. Well would she? Obviously she would but she would tell him that "Nope. Go have fun with that"

Eren could easily tell Mikasa was lying by the way her jaw twitched and her lip quivered- not that she was sad but that it was her tell. You see it's nearly impossible to lie to someone who you have grown up with your whole life "sounds good I just wanted to check so you wouldn't go bat shit crazy on her like you did with Mina"

"What the fuck do you mean?" Mikasa spat "Maybe I'll go on a date with Luke" she huffed out

"Really?" Eren almost laughed at but his jaw was clenched, his hands forming into fists by his sides

Nodding Mikasa smirked "Yeah, I mean he did ask me on a date so might as well take him up on that offer"

Walking closer to her Eren looked slightly down at the black haired girl while putting his hand on the door behind her right above her head "mhm?"

"Yeah have fun with hitch though" She patted his chest "I hear she's kinky"

Rolling his eyes, Eren brought his head down, his lips hovering above Mikasa's ear "Have fun with Luke."

"I'm-" Mikasa was cut off by the door getting unlocked behind her

Both of them stepping away the door slowly opened revealing Armin and Sasha who both had shit eating grins on their faces.

"Heyyy" Armin said sheepishly while running the back of his neck "how did it go?"

Both Eren and Mikasa scoffed while they walked out of the closet, pushing past Sasha and Armin, Mikasa going left and eren going right

"So I guess it went well?" Sasha asked while armin slapped his hand on his forehead

No it did not go well.

At all
