As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow across the tranquil scene, Mikasa turned towards you. Her typically stoic expression softened, revealing a vulnerability seldom seen. In the quiet of the evening, with the ambient sounds of nature as a backdrop, she spoke in a voice that carried a weight of sincerity.

"I appreciate having you by my side..." Mikasa said, her words measured and deliberate. Her gaze met yours, and you could sense the depth of her emotions. "Your presence brings a sense of peace to my world."

The air seemed seemed to still for a moment, the significance of her words settling into the quiet space between you. Mikasa's hand found yours, fingers intertwining in a gesture that spoke volumes, a silent acknowledgment of the connection that had grown between you.

The fading light of the day painted the sky in hues of orange and pink, creating a serene backdrop to this intimate moment. In that instant, amidst the chaos of the world, you and Mikasa found solace in each other's company, a sanctuary of peace that transcended words.
