chapter 8, season 1

"what the hell is taking y'all so long?" mila questions as she bust into your room. you and mikasa look at her as you straighten mikasa's hair.

"calm down, mi. i'm almost done." you reassured as you flat ironed mikasa's bangs. as you stood in front of mikasa, you could see her face getting redder and redder by the second. "you good, mik? your blushing a lot." you ask as you put the flat irons down and unplug them.

"she's prolly nervous." mila spoke as she sat down on your bed. mikasa nodded her head and covered her face out of embarrassment.

"and i was correct."

you, mila, and mikasa began making your way to the football field. the bleachers weren't too crowded considering the game started in fifthteen minutes.

"i'm gonna embarrass myself." mikasa whispered to herself as she began to analyze the situation. she got all dressed up, you did her hair, she bought new lip stick and everything. she was starting to feel more self conscious.

"let's sit over there." you pointed to the middle of the bleachers. you all were sitting there last friday, so you knew marquis and mikasa would be able to see each other clearly. you all sat down and waited for the game to start.

"hey, mik?" mila said as she took a sip of her coca cola. "yeah?" mikasa answered.

"you kinda remind me of how i was with jean." she said as she looked over at mikasa.

"what do you mean?" mikasa curiously asked.

"i remember my sophomore year, dressing up to go to a football games with y/n trying to impress jean. it took some time but eventually, we started dating. this all happened in the span of five months. i'm saying this to you because i want you to know that there's hope. you actually have a better shot than i did, but i'm not going to tell you why." mila smiled devilishly at mikasa who smiled back with a flustered face.

"you really think i have a chance?"

"yup, and you'll see once the game is over." mikasa was confused by mika's statement, but decided to just let it be.

the three of you just talked about random topics until the game began. "look, there's eren!" you smiled as you watched him run onto the field. once eren got to his position on the field, he looked around for you. once you two made eye contact, he smiled and gave you a wave which you returned.

"he's so cute." you mumbled to yourself as you smiled in excitement.

mikasa and mila weren't paying you any attention since they were looking for their own special people.

"babes so hot, imma-"

mikasa put her hand on mila's chest and said "keep that to yourself." she painfully smiled as she prayed mila wouldn't continue her sentence.

"fine."

"congrats on your win." you say as you give eren a hug. eren blushes at the unexpected hug as he wrapped his arms around you. "thank you."

"any plans after this?" eren questions as he releases from the hug. you shrugged your shoulders. "nothing that i know of." eren nodded his head at your response and got silent.

"babe! you did so good!" mila praises jean as she hugs him and gives his a few pecks all over his face. "all for you." jean cheesily said as he hugged mila.

"they're so corny." marquis said as he stood beside mikasa. "it's cute though. i like the cheesy aspects in relationships. it proves that there's still so much love between them." mikasa responds as she watched the corny couple.

marquis turned and looked at mikasa who wasn't paying him any attention. he looked at her side profile and could tell she wore a different lipstick than normal. it wasn't totally noticeable, but when you look at someone everyday, you can see slight differences.

he then looked at her outfit. it was definitely something mikasa wouldn't have normally wore, so he assumed she must've wore it for someone special. her hair wasn't too different, but it definitely had some wave to it.

"hey-" mikasa cut herself off as she looked to see marquis staring at her. the words she wanted to say seemed to be stuck in her throat. all she could do was stare back at him.

"date me."

marquis's words caught mikasa completely off guard. "w-what?"

"i like you, you like me, well i think you like me."

"i mean, of course i like you." mikasa shyly said as her face got more and more flustered. marquis cheekily smiled at the confession before speaking. "then go out with me."

"girl, if you don't say yes!" mila shouted as she watched the two kids. marquis playfully rolled his eyes at mila.

"yes, i will go out with you marquis." mikasa smiled as she finished her sentence. marquis didn't say anything, but he hugged mikasa to try and get across the words he couldn't say.

"they're so cute! i wish i went to yall school." armani pouted as she watched the two children through the screen. "just transfer." jean advised.

"you really think my daddy gon' let me come to the same school connie goes too? be fuckin' foreal." she scoffed as the rest of you laughed. "i forgot about your dad being so strict, well strict about you and connie." jean said.

"i don't know how considering i only see mani when she's with her mom." connie interjected as he made his way over towards y'all.

"exactly, but i'll see y'all at the burger joint." you all said your goodbyes and hung up the phone before making y'all way towards the cars.

"okay, so i was thinkin'." mila started as she took a sip of her raspberry lemonade. the rest of the group
looked up and have mila their full attention.

"let's go to fright fest!" you and jean both looked at each other and already knew you both weren't going. "we definitely gotta do that, what day though cause i work on halloween." armani replied before eating her food.

"what days are y'all free? y'all know i'm always free since i don't work that much." mila says.

"well, i'm not going." jeans says as he plops a fry into his mouth. "me either. even if i wanted to go, i have work everyday in october since the holidays are coming up." you say.

"damn, does armin work everyday too?" connie questioned. you shrugged your shoulders. "most likely."

"just call out then. it's only one day." mila says while scrolling on her phone looking for days to go to six flags. "nah, i'm good. you know i don't do heights."

"c'mon y/n. this could be fun." this statement was the first of many to get you to go to six flags. "c'monnnnnnnnnn, i'll be with you the entire time, so everything will be okay! it's not like you'll fall off the rollercoaster and-"

"okay! i'll go and don't finish your sentence because i don't need those thoughts." eren smiled at you and leaned his head on your shoulder.

"well, jean, are you gonna go?" eren asked as he made himself more comfortable on your shoulder. "i guess. i don't wanna be the only person not going."

"okay then, the only other people we need to ask are mikasa, marquis, and armin." mila says. "oh, and we need to find when we're going."

"well, i know for a fact that we can't go on halloween because that's when we're having a sale and the store is always super crowded." you said before drinking some of your soda.

"what day is halloween even on?" armani asks as she looks at her schedule for the next few weeks. "a saturday." connie answers. "oh, yeah i'm definitely not gonna be able to go on halloween either. what about the thirtieth?"

"well, i don't work on weekends, so i'm free." eren says. "that fridays works for me and armin." you say.

"okay, so is that friday good with everyone?" mila asks one more time for clarification. everyone says yes and that's when the plans were made.
