Chapter 03 - Yeager Family

It started out as a normal day for Carla Yeager, waking up in the morning beside her husband Grisha Yeager, getting out of bed to prepare breakfast for her and their two children, one of whom they adopted, and then after that was done, she would do housework, every now and then asking for help from their son and daughter, Eren and Mikasa to collect firewood and go to the market.

But today was an exception to her normal routine when Grisha returned to carrying an unconscious boy around ten or eleven years old in her arms.

The boy is soaking wet and Grisha explains that there is a possibility that he is experiencing mild hypothermia, so they should warm him up as soon as possible.

While Grisha goes out to buy the boys 'dry clothes as the only part they have is girls' clothes, it's up to Carla, Eren, and Mikasa to help warm the boys.

"Mikasa, be a good girl and put this on the child's forehead." Carla said, giving the little girl with black hair a cloth soaked in warm water.

" Carla said, giving the little girl with black hair a cloth soaked in warm water

"Yes." The girl calmly replied, her voice muffled by the red scarf she was wearing as she walked into her room and Eren's room where the boy was currently.

"What about me, Mother? What can I do for you?" Eren asked his mother that he seemed eager to help, which is strange considering that Eren doesn't really like hanging out with boys.

"You can help me wash clothes, they have to be washed and hung to dry before she can put them on again." Carla spoke after a while.

"What? I don't want to wash clothes! Why can't I do what Mikasa did ?!" Eren wasn't happy at all, his green eyes sparkling as he complained earnestly.

"Oh my God, brat. Mikasa won't get mad at him if that kid says something he doesn't like. And you can't scare the poor kid before we help him, clear?" Carla said while pulling her ear to hold back Eren's anger that was about to explode.

"O-Okay, you don't have to do this!" Eren agreed, and managed to get his ear out of Carla's grasp as she rubbed it.

"Please be quiet and help me now." Carla said as she dipped her wet clothes in the bathroom so they could be washed properly.

While Carla and Eren were busy washing the blonde boy's clothes, Mikasa was currently on her way upstairs, a warm wash cloth in her hand.

Once Mikasa reached the door to the room, she quietly opened the door and entered. The boy was still sleeping on Eren's bed while hers was a few feet beside him.

The boy was the same age as her, or maybe a year her senior, he had blonde hair that was damp and messy from drying with a towel.

Her hair was not light blonde like her friend Armin's, but dark blonde, cleaner, almost like the sun was setting.

Doing what Carla asked, Mikasa placed a warm cloth on her forehead, which she knew was cold when the back of her finger grazed her.

Mikasa turned to her after she was done with her assignment, and wanted to know what else she had to do.

"Who are you? Where am I?" Mikasa heard the boy behind her speak as soon as Mikasa tried to grab the door handle.

Mikasa turned around to see her now sitting, the blanket falling to her waist, keeping her lower body covered, but her naked chest and body were now on display.

"Mr Yeager brought you here earlier. You were passed out and cold, he brought you here to warm you and make you better." Mikasa explained, her voice cold as she answered her question.

"W-Wait a minute. Who is Mr Yeager?" The boy stopped him before Mikasa could leave.

"That's the name of the person who received us and you entered." Mikasa turned and looked at him.

"You didn't answer my question, where are we?" He asked again, looking depressed and panicked.

"Shiganshina." Mikasa answered briefly.

A few seconds later, Mikasa spoke again ...

"I will inform Mrs. Yeager that you are awake now."

Mikasa left before he could say a word, leaving it to her own device until she and the others returned.

'She looks cute to be considered a criminal. Most importantly what happened to me?' The boy is trying to remember what happened to him until he could get here.

When he tried to remember it, his mind was crushed, his head hurt, and he could only catch a few memories.

'W-What the hell? I can't remember anything? ' The boy felt his body dry, he couldn't remember anything.

Trying to remember harder, he began to feel a burning sensation in his head, and finally he could only remember his first name.

'I-My name is ... Lux. But what's my last name ...? ' Thought Lux as he tried to remember her identity.

While trying to remember, his head became dizzy and his body temperature became hot.

Worried that it would get worse, Lux decided to stop remembering anything, and he started lying on her bed.

After that, the door opened and entered a woman in her twenties, with brown eyes. She has long black hair that is tied at the right in dark red pigtails. She seemed like a good mother, especially with the worried expression she gave Lux when she saw him wake up.

She seemed like a good mother, especially with the worried expression she gave Lux when she saw him wake up.

"Mikasa said you were awake. How do you feel now?" Carla asked as she walked towards him.After that, Cara sat on the bed so she could place her hand on Lux's forehead.

"You still feel cold." Carla took notes.

"I do feel a little cold." Lux agreed with her, shivering a little after Carla's warm hand touched her cold skin.

"Too bad. You were soaking wet and cold when my husband brought you in, can you tell me why you came out in the rain?" Carla roared, approached her, and hugged her, heat flowing through Lux's body and making her a little warmer.

"I-I don't remember. The last thing I can remember is waking up soaked and not knowing where I was." Lux was telling the truth.

Usually Carla knew that when someone was lying to her, Eren's ears usually turned red when lying to her, but the sadness on Lux's face wasn't something that could be faked easily.

Lux was like a baby deer, with an innocent appearance, wide eyes and a sad expression making it look like he was staring at a pure and innocent angel.

"It's okay dear. Can you tell me at least your name?" Carla reassured him, not wanting to scare her, she added a warm, sincere smile.

"I-My name is Lux." He replied, Carla then asked her last name, but he shook her head.

"I-I'm sorry, I can't remember." Lux said apologetically.

"It's okay dear. Rest now and warm yourself." Carla stepped back to lay him back down and put the blanket back on him.

"I'm going down, you just scream when you need something, okay?" Carla said and put the washcloth on Lux's forehead again.

"Wait." Lux stopped him as Carla was about to leave the room.

"Thank you, Mrs. Yeager." Lux said sincerely.

"How do you know it's my surname?" Carla asked, not looking suspicious and just curious.

"T-The girl in the red headscarf told me." Lux answered.

"That's Mikasa. My name is Carla, nice to meet you, Lux." Carla answered.

Carla left the room after that, and left Lux alone in her thoughts.

'She looks like a good mother. Strangely, I felt it too ... but with whom?' Thought Lux as she wanted to remember affection.

Not long after, Lux seemed to see the figure of a woman with dark blond hair like hers, with three children beside her and a man with blue eyes like hers.

'W-Who is it?' Lux thought as he saw the shadow, but for a moment it started to blur and in front of her was now nothing.

Lux was deep in thought, he seemed to know them but felt like he didn't remember them, as tears rolled down her cheeks.

'W-What? Why am I crying seeing that? ' Thought Lux with all her confusion.

Tired of thinking about it and the temperature started to rise, Lux decided to sleep and warm herself with the blanket Carla had given her.

< To Be Contined >

See you again in the next chapter. ]
