Chapter 3 - Arising suspicion Part 1

"Eren are you there?" Armin said knocking on the door of Eren's dorm waiting for a response from him, he didn't have to wait long until he heard the sound of multiple footsteps coming towards the door Armin noticed this and thought "Eren is not alone somebody else is with him" just then the door opened wide revealing the two figures of Eren and Mikasa "Mikasa? What where they doing in there all alone? Yeaaah I probably shouldn't question that" Armin silently questioned and sent Eren a teasing look and a grin that said everything the dirty minded genius thought. "Just so you know Armin we weren't doing anything in there, you need to get your mind out of the gutter" Eren replied in an annoyed voice slightly irritated about his friends dirty mind, in all the time he spent in the paths wandering between memories he never encountered anyone as smart and dirty minded as Armin he was starting at Armin that was until he looked at Mikasa and noticed that her cheeks had hint of pinkish red hue on them and then looked at her fully admiring her beauty and thought to himself "she looks so beautiful and ...cute"

"Eren?" Eren was lost in his thoughts and gaze at Mikasa until Armin called out his name "huh?" Eren said waking up from his daze and looking at Armin which again is giving him a teasing grin and a look that says everything that is unholy "When will he ever grow up, teasing me once is acceptable but twice.. come on Armin your better than this" Eren thought to himself and giving Armin his usual emotionless face. "Anyway the captain told me to look for you both since it's time for dinner so hurry up and I will be downstairs." Armin said and turned leaving Eren with Mikasa and going to the mass hall to eat until he was met by Commander Erwin stopping him "Commander Erwin? Is there something you need?" Armin asked wanting to know what is up with his Commander. "When you were with Eren and Mikasa just now have you noticed anything wiered about them?" Commander Erwin was quick to reply with a hushed tone and an weird expression on his face a mix of curiosity and something else Armin couldn't decipher because he had to reply in time to not look bad in front of his superior, "No I didn't see anything weird with them Commander except him being with Mikasa alone in the same room if that counts" Armin answered telling the commander what he saw and wanted to know where all of this was going to lead to, the commander never did anything just out of nowhere there had to be a reason and Armin thought that whatever this is it was about Eren and Mikasa. "Anyways thank you for telling me and if you see anything going on with report to me immediately" Armin was about to ask what the commander is meaning but his question was left hanging when he saw the commander's back moving away from him and going downstairs to his office meanwhile the commander in question was thinking about the situation in hand "There's something going on between Eren and Mikasa, ever since the medallion ceremony they have been acting out of hand and today's act on breakfast is a sign of it They are hiding something important I need to find out what it is"

Later at dinner

Dinner went as normally as survey corps dinners if you don't count Sasha biting Conny's hand when he stole a piece of bread from her plate sneakily until he was caught by Sasha and that made her feral and immediately chose violence by biting his hand until he let go of the bread, his screams of pain were heard throughout the mess hall making the other scouts stare at the commotion in disgust and weirdness but the 104th corps members immediately burst into laughter, Armin being a hairs length away from dying by laughing so hard and Mikasa was also laughing at Sasha, she couldn't help it because the last time she was in the airship wounded breathing and muttering her last breaths and words and seeing her now doing her silly actions was a relief to her heart.

Mikasa continued to eat happily she then towards the table of Levi And Hange who were talking, from what Mikasa could decipher that Hange was rambling about something like always and Levi was replying to her with his good ol' one line sentences but then she looked a bit to the right and found Commander Erwin was starting at something with a cold face, following his gaze Mikasa found out that he was starting directly at Eren and Eren didn't do anything to help the situation but stare right back at the Commander with dead eyes and an emotionless face, just then she connected the dots an thought to herself "Me and Eren have been acting out of line recently I was waiting for anyone to say anything but they didn't, did the commander order them not to?, is he suspecting us?" Mikasa was going to think more until she found the commander was standing in front of their table and then he said "Eren, Mikasa may I have a moment with you?" Eren then stood up to the commander face to face he was burning his eyes into him with a indifferent face he then said in a monotone yet harsh voice full of aggressiveness "Sure commander, I don't mind and I think Mikasa is too" Mikasa felt uncomfortable being forced into this thinking that she agreed without even asking her but in the end she nodded knowing that arguing about such thing wouldn't benefit her at all.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Opening the door to his office commander Erwin guided both Eren and Mikasa inside both of them sat in the chair in front of the desk while the commander took his desk chair and sat down whilst keeping eye contact with both of his suspects.

The three of them sat in a tense silence not one of them daring to speak up.

It was then than Erwin's eyes darkened and he gave Mikasa and Eren a look full of hostility and that they were enemies and he spoke with a low even voice "So I'm going to get straight to the point because beating around the bush is not going to benefit any of us" "Fine go ahead" spoke Eren with a bored expression and tone.

"I know that both of you saw something at the medallion ceremony and are not talking about it, so if you are interested in not becoming my enemies you should tell me about what you saw right here and now."

"How did you... How.. how do you even know about this?" Asked Mikasa with a shaky tone her mind was going overboard with the scenarios that can come from this discussion. Lying and Being enemies with the commander is going to hinder their plan to get to hizuru and she knows that Erwin will not hesitate to do anything and everything to stop them. Telling the truth would yield the same result but a bit different and still it would be a drawback.

This wasn't a discussion it was a test either tell the truth or lie both are bad.
