Christmas Eve
Inspired by Naninyan's story "Baby it's cold outside"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mikasa's POV
Today is December 24 known as the Christmas eve. I sipped my bitter coffee and averted my gaze outside the window from the coffee shop with Eren, seeing Christmas lights, singing choirs, and happy families spending time together for Christmas Eve.
There are so many things that make Christmas wonderful, like spending time with your family, the ample opportunity to love on others, and all the celebrating, Christmas parties at work, school, in the neighborhood, at church, in the community... they are everywhere!
Or so they say....
I never once felt the Christmas spirit nor felt happy about it. My friends always ask me about how I spend my Christmas and why I don't celebrate it. Guess it's just a regular day for me.
I used to love celebrating Christmas with my family, but unfortunately they passed away 2 years ago during a car crash. I love my life. Note sarcasm
"Yo Mikasa!" Eren waved a hand over my face, snapping me out of my daze."So what are you going to do this Christmas? Pig yourself out during vacation?" He smirked mockingly.
"Haha, very funny" I rolled my eyes receiving a chuckle from him.
"No seriously, how are you going to spend your Christmas. I can't take you on my Christmas date with Annie" Eren said and took bite of his apple pie.
"Oh I don't know. Eat, sleep, wattpad, facebook, tumblr, eat, facebook, wattpad, eat, oh wait what was the first one? Oh yeah, eat" I said and took a spoonful of strawberry cake.
"Why don't you atleast spend Christmas with somebody?" I just looked at him dumbfounded.
"Ay downt knaw" My mouth is full of cake that I keep speaking gibberish.
"English please, you sound unhuman" He laughed as I swallowed the cake in my mouth and almost choked.
We continued our friendly banter until we parted ways as he enjoy his Christmas, while I will marry my tv.

It's been 2 hours since Eren left for his date with Annie and it's pretty boring without little bro.
I just chilled out in a park across town, which is less crowded than other parks and bought 3 cheeseburgers, a smoothie, and 4 boxes of pocky.
It finished all of them in 20 minutes and decided to have my own date.
With the tv.
My apartment is 30 minutes away from where I am now and there's no need to rush anyway so I'll just stay where I am.
I stared at the sky and noticed something is a bit off. The sky tainted with an ash gray tone with clouds as gray as the sky that I can't barely see, the ambiance in the air turned colder than before. It's still 5:00 how could it be dark?
It was snowing.
Snow particles drop one after another as I watch in awe. I stayed that way for a few hours and I noticed that I'm starting to get wet because of the melted snow (a/n: dats what she said)
I decided to go home and went to the parking lot, where my car is.
I started the car and drove off to the highway facing excruciating stress from traffic. I banged my head against the steering wheel making horn noises.
Karma - 1
Me - 0
The traffic pretty much drained my gas. Darn over takers!
Luckily, I passed by a gas station.
Karma - 1
Me - 1
"15 dollars worth of gas, please" I politely asked the worker and filled my whole tank up. It should last me for 5 more hours.
I was on my way out of the gas station and saw Eren's best friend Levi freezing his butt off near a payphone. He seemed pissed as f, and struggled to keep his nonchalant demeanor.
I walked over to him, furrowing through the snow. As I went closer I noticed he was wet and his coat can't bear the cold any longer.
"Levi?"
He turned to look at me still kept his composed visage and took him a while to remember my name.
"Ackerman?" Well close enough
"Do you need a ride or something, you seem to be freezing cold out here?" I offered apprehensively.
He seemed hesitant for the moment "You're not going to rape me, are you?" He asked in suspicion.
A nerve throbbed in my head because of his cocky attitude.
"What!?" I yelled at him enraged at his last comment.
He chuckled and smirked at me "Just kidding"
"I'm trying to be nice here at least try to comprehend!" I took a deep breath "I'm sorry, I'm always like this."
"I'm sorry too. Never knew Eren's adoptive sister was so hysterical" he said in a nonchalant manner that doesn't seem like a mock. The tone in his voice refrained me from hitting him. I walked back to my car signaling him to follow and so he did.
