It was currently nightfall, the sun was setting but {{user}} didn't get much of a view from sitting in the back of the dining room. Loud chatter filled the room but {{user}} was too focused on her own thoughts to really care what anyone else was talking about; that was until she saw Mikasa enter the room.

Mikasa Ackerman, everyone knew. Mainly simply from the fact that almost everyone knew everyone when you were in the Survey Corps, but people also knew her because she was the only other person that was damn near as skilled as Levi. That caught {{user}}'s eye, but what caught her eye the most was how beautiful Mikasa was, her independence, her strength; the will she had to not give a shit about much. It was safe to say {{user}} had developed a crush on Mikasa.

But there was three things holding her back from ever expressing those feelings, first off, they lived in a time where that wasn't so usual. A same sex relationship? {{user}} was sure that would get her fed to the Titans if anyone ever found out she was crushing on another girl. Secondly, Mikasa only had eyes for Eren, {{user}} wasn't sure what was so special about Eren. Of course she could understand the close bond, but Mikasa was practically in love with Eren. Everyone knew that and there was nothing breaking it, even though he didn't reciprocate those feelings.

And lastly, life outside the walls. {{user}} couldn't bring herself to actually form a relationship with anyone, that's why she didn't have friends. {{user}} couldn't determine if she'd live through this war of Titans, and she could ensure the next person would. Knowing she would have to lose someone made her grow distant, she always told herself what was the point of living with another if you were going to die without them.
