What is love? Yeah yeah if you love someone that isn't your own family or friend you're probably in a relationship with them, one could assume at least.

You say you love a person and they say it back.

Maybe they say it back cause they feel bad or maybe they don't even bother saying it back. 'I luv you too' they might say, and it might not hold the same meaning, you would never know until you ask.

What if the person you love is going through their own shit? What do you do.

What do you do?

Maybe you don't do anything and let them treat you like absolute shit and you probably don't even know that it's happening!

Some people won't bring it up to their significant other because they are worried it will cause them even more stress that they don't deserve, or at least that's how you look at it.

You're drowning.

Drowning in your own fucked up head.

Cause what are you supposed to do? Tell them you need more? Tell them to put more effort into the relationship?

If you do that apparently you're a shitty person? You know if you ask for a basic communication?

Let me lay it out for you, your significant other is going through a hard time right, what do you do in that situation? Talk to them of course but what if they don't want to talk to you about it?

What do you do when you are losing yourself and the person you love the most.

What do you do when you are so mentally drained from trying to keep a relationship alive.

All you want to do is comfort the person and hold them but they won't let you, they won't let you help and they will certainly not tell you how they feel.

You can't help if the other person isn't giving you anything to lead on.

You shouldn't have to beg for attention and you definitely shouldn't be begging to be treated right.

You're drowning until they throw you a rope to catch and reel you back to reality.

Reality is that everyone and everything is confusing.

Grabbing the ends of my dress I hopped down the last two steps of the staircase "Just fuck off!" I yelled at him

I could practically feel his harsh glare on the back of my head, "Why are you so fucking confusing?"

Making it to the bottom of the staircase I turned back with a glare "I'm confusing?!" I shouted, frustrated

He nodded "you are" he hissed while walking closer to me, we were a good two feet away from each other

"Well guess what" I spat while walking closer to him looking up a little so we were literally breathing a hair length away "I fucking hate you so much" I shoved him back but he barley moved

He shut his eyes "You don't mean that" he seethed out

I brought my hand to his chin and harshly pulled it down which he opened his eyes too "I hate you"

——— 10 hours earlier ———

Mikasa's pov

"Mika"

"Mikasa"

"Mikasa!" A voice shouted causing me to fly up in sitting position "Sorry you didn't wake up" the brunette shrugged

"Fuck you ymir" I hissed while glaring at her "what time is it?"

"1pm" she deadpanned "get your ass up" she paused "and get Eren up also" she grinned while looking at where he was laying, which was right beside me he was laying his back against the couch and there was an empty spot right in front of him from where I had been laying.

Rolling my eyes I got up and stretched, it's 1pm meaning that the dance starts in 5 hours but we were probably going to be going a little later

"Hey Sasha?" I called while looking at where all the noise was coming from, which happened to be the room right next to us.

Her head suddenly peaked out, her eyebrows raised and waiting for a question "yeah?"

"How are we getting there?"

"Oh!" A new voice suddenly joined the conversation "I got us a limo!" Torias voice cheered while she walked out of the room

"Pardon?"

"A limo!"

"No fucking way!" Sasha and me yelled "that's cap you're lying"

"Nope"

Omg. No fucking way. "Oh my god, Toria you really didn't have too"

She waved a hand in dismissal "I wanted to silly! Now get your boyfriend up we have to start getting ready! All the guys went upstairs to change so we could surprise them with our outfits"

I nodded while looking at the sleeping guy on the couch, how peaceful he look.

Grabbing a pillow from the floor I flung it at him, rather aggressively. What? Not my fault he slept in

"What the fuck?" He groaned out, his sleepiness evident

With a grin I jumped around the room "get up!" I said excited, today was going to be a great day

"Why are you so happy?" He asked with a smile forming on his face, he leaned on his elbow so he could see me better

I stopped in front of him and smiled big, teeth and everything "because! Today is going to be awesome! I can feel it in my bones Eren!"

He sat up fully, his smile just like mine "Where is everyone else?"

"The girls are getting ready over there" I pointed to the door that was slightly open "and the boys are getting ready upstairs! So go! We have to leave in 3 hours" I paused "so get up" I grabbed a pillow and started hitting him with it

"Ow-Mika" he tried to grab the pillow "stop-" he finally got a hold of it but I didn't let go so...I fell on top of him. Whoops?

"Ow you fucker" I hissed while letting go of the pillow and leaning back a little

"Sorry darling" he grinned while looking into my eye, "Mikasa-"

"Cmon hurry the hell up Eren!" Jean yelled from the top of the stairs, interrupting Eren mid sentence

Rolling my eyes because I was slightly annoyed at Jeans interruption I got up off of Eren and held a hand out for him to take so he could get up.

"You gotta go get ready" I smiled while he grabbed my hand and stood up

"Bye love" he whispered in my ear while slowly letting go of my hand and walking around me, disappearing upstairs with the rest of the boys. And Jean.

"Mikasa hurry your ass up!" Annie yelled while Sasha and Toria laughed.

Walking around the couch I went into the room, Mind you Historias house is huge so I wasn't surprised when she had a full on makeup room in her basement.

There was a big superstar vanity against the wall, two white couches by the wall and a huge wall mirror and a dress rack that was on the other side, dresses all along the rack, all of them ours.

"So we can do our hair and makeup and then put the dress on last" historia said while all the girls hummed in agreement.

Toria was doing her lip liner while Annie was doing Sasha's hair "Mikasa are you going to do makeup?" Sasha asked while Annie hit her head lightly for moving.

Do I want to do my makeup. Yes. No. Not really "I can't do good makeup"

"I can!" Historia yelled while smiling big at me "sit sit" she said while getting up and patting the vanity chair "so what are we saying? Smokey eye? Something big and glam"

"No no" I shook my head, I like makeup but not when you can't tell it's me "Something basic and definitely red lipstick to go with the dress"

"Uh Mikasa" Annie said while she looked through all the dresses on the rack "where's yours?"

I swung around in my chair and looked, blue for Annie, green for Sasha and light pick for historia. Where's mine? Shit shit shit.

"Fuck Fuck fuck" I whispered while getting up and looked through all the dresses, Sasha's, Annie's and historias "oh fuck it's not here I fucking forgot it while packing! Shit!"

"Calm down Mikasa we can drop everyone off at the gala downtown then go back to yours" Historia said while coming from behind and putting a hand on my shoulder.

I nodded while rubbing my forehead "Sorry, you really don't have to I can just Uber to the dorm"

"No no it's fine"

Walking back to the vanity I dropped my head on it. Fuck. Dumbass.

"Ok ok let's do everything and you can wear my red zip up dress so you can see what the colour will look with your makeup"

I nodded while lifting my head "thanks Toria"

"Don't even mention ittt" she paused while grabbing all the makeup she needed "so eye makeup and a red lip?"

I nodded while smiling "yess"

"Consider it done"

————

"Andddd done!" Historia happily cheered while setting down a brush "oh my god! You look so fucking good! Not that you don't look good everyday but wow!"

She spun me around in the chair so I could see in the mirror and wow. I look fucking hot.

Holy shit.

"I want to see!" Annie and Sasha yelled while running over to the mirror, both of them pausing "holy"

Historia did a gold eyeshadow with eyeliner, the wing not to long but not to short.

"Thank you so much Historia!" I squealed. Yeah. I squealed.

She laughed while playing with my hair "anytime Mikasa!"

"Do you want to curly your hair?" Annie asked while swatting historia away so she could put on her dress

"I think I'm just going to straighten it" I shrugged while plugging in the straightener

My hair at the moment is up to my waist, shocking right? After I cut it I let it grow out and turns out when my hair isn't short it's wavy not curls but a nice beach wave, im debating on cutting it again but that will be on a later day.

"Fun!"

Third person pov

"Hey! Can someone help me with this dress!" Mikasa yelled while trying to get the zipper up of her dress, everyone was finished getting ready and now was waiting for her but She couldn't get the stupid thing on.

Sighing loudly to herself, she looked at the mirror, Shes definitely obsessed with herself but who could blame her?

She was standing in front of the mirror putting on her gold earrings while someone opened the door and closed it quietly, looking to the side she was met with Eren's back

Looking away from her reflection and turning all the way Mikasa stopped her sentence before it even started, her eyes widen a fraction while peering into Erens emerald eyes that also widened, Heart beating slower than possible Mikasa's mouth slightly parted.

Erens knees felt weak weaker then normal his breathing became slow, slightly leaning in to look closer at Mikasa's steel coloured eyes. He always found himself looking at her eyes and now with the makeup making them stand out more, he swore he fell more in love with her, Beautiful he thought while his hands twitched in anticipation.

Erens breath hitched when she gave him a small smile making his whole heart feel tight.

Focusing on her breath so she wouldn't pass out Mikasa gave him a small smile- an awkward one but the best she could do. She almost had a heart attack once Eren returned the gesture 'Whoa' they both thought.

"I- uh" Eren smiled more while rubbing the back of his neck "I came to help with your uh zipper?" He said more like a question

"What?" Mikasa blinked, coming out of the trance she was in "oh..oh! Yeah yeah" she waved him over

Eren came up behind her while she focused on him from the mirror reflection, both their eyes meeting in the mirror, both forgetting why they were there other than stare at each other

"I- sorry" he stuttered while looking at her back "back tattoo?" He whispered, his voice deep, shaking Mikasa to her core, he didn't forget about it he just didn't get to fully see it

"Yeah" she breathed out

He clenched his jaw while nodding, still looking at it, he brought his hand up and lightly outlined it making Mikasa tense up at the sudden cold feeling on her back, she soon relaxed getting use to the feeling.

He trailed his hand all the way until it got to the zipper, to which he zip all the way up with ease "and done" he said lowly while keeping his hand on her shoulder

"Thanks" she said, both their eyes finding each other in the mirror once again.

"You look Beautiful" he said while smiling a little

She copied the same smile while turning around, his hand still resting on her shoulder but his palm on her collarbone.

"You look handsome as ever Eren"

Eren did look quite handsome himself, his hair neatly in a bun which a suit with red accents

A blush appeared on both their cheeks "thank you" he smiled like a four year old.

"Guys hurry up the limo is here!" Jean yelled from outside to which both Mikasa and Eren groaned, they definitely would be kicking Jean tonight.

"Shall we?" Eren held out an arm for Mikasa

She gladly grabbed his arm and nodded "we shall"

Before they made it out of the room Eren gave Mikasa a light kiss on her forehead which made her blush beyond belief.

Not like they've had a full blown make out session. Fucking dumbass's

———Mikasa pov———

"We are here!" Historia cheered while opening the door for me, we dropped everyone off at the gala, Eren of course insisted that he should come with us but we literally kicked him out of the car- Ymir of course helped.

"Ok great I'll be fast!" I said while climbing out of the limo

"Oh no no I'm coming with you to help with the dress and mask!" She said with a wide smile, also climbing out of the limo.

I nodded while smiling and walking up the steps to the dorm. Only ten minutes.

———-

——Luxurious- Gwen stefani

"You look hot!" Historia yelled while we sat back in the limo "like so fucking hot! Damn and I thought my dress was great"

Her dress was absolutely amazing, it was light pink that had long sleeves and was puffy all the way down from the waist.

"I love yours! It's drop dead gorgeous!"

"Not as gorgeous as yours Mikasa! Look at it!"

My dress was pretty fucking sick I'd say so myself. It was red and had a deep cut in the middle, the fabric soft and the top with gems.

"You think? I thought I was going to be overly dressed but I guess not" I shrugged, when we dropped off everyone I saw multiple girls in grander dresses than me and they were beautiful.

"No no it's perfect!"

We started a conversation from there on, Historia and I don't really have one on one conversations but when we do it's like we are sisters.

Still talking to her we pulled up to the grand place that the gala took place, it had a freaking red carpet for Fuck sakes!

"Shall we" I grinned while pulling my mask up onto my face which she did the same

"We shall"

Walking into the place the music was blasting through our ears, I'm surprised that they are playing this kind of music for the place we're at.

"Where do you think they'll be?" Historia asked while standing on her tippy toes, even with high heels on she was still short.

I shrugged while I swept my gaze around the room "probably at the bar" I shrugged while taking her hand and leading her to the bar, she was short and tiny. She will get lost.

"There!" I said loudly while smiling and pulling her along, her laughs could be heard from behind me.

It's going to be a good night.

"Guys!" I yelled while coming closer to them all of them but Ymir turned because she's fucking deaf.

"Hey....damn Mikasa you look hot!" Jean whistled while Reiner and Marco did the same both Annie and armin Laughed while Ymir came up to historia and me and grabbed her girlfriends hand away from me.

"What worried I'll steal your girl?" I smirked while Ymir grinned

"Where's your man Ackerman"

Rolling my eyes I shrugged while taking the drink out of jeans hand "probably off eating with Sasha and Connie"

Everyone looked fucking stunning. Annie and Armin both had blue accents and Connie matched with jean and Marco.

And of course Ymir wore a suit. But guess what. There were pink accents! Pink. Ymir owns my 10 dollars.

We made a bet she wouldn't be wearing pink tonight but guess who lost! Her! All because historia said please one time and the brunette folded.

Going up to Armin I paused "So how do I look" I said while giving him a pose

Annie laughed and Armin smiled brightly "twirl"

And I did, while laughing of course.

"Nice right?"

Armin nodded "You became the princess you always wanted to be!" He grinned

I laughed even harder at that, when we were little I always fought Eren because he said I would never be a princess and I of course would argue back saying one day I will, we ended up fist fighting.

"Where's Eren?" I asked while looking around, I didn't see him while coming in and he wasn't with the group

Annie shrugged "he left right when we got here something about haven't eating all day"

I nodded while fixing my mask, the gala was a masquerade so that was fun, really gave a magic feeling, everyone's masks were beautiful.

"Mikasa!" I heard someone yell from behind me making me turn but I was tAcklEd

"Hey Kai" I smiled while looking at her suit "it's so fucking pretty"

She wore a clean black suit with her hair up, faded pink could be seen with a white lace mask.

"Aw thank you! I was coming to tell you that you look amazing and that Connie and Sasha are fighting" she pointed towards the rows of food.

I nodded while we said our parting words, saying excuse me to Annie and Armin I made my way towards where she said they'll be and she was in fact correct, they were fighting over the last egg roll

"Hey guys" I said while appearing beside them making them both scared and drop the roll
