Best Friend Headcanons with Mikasa Ackerman

Tags/Warnings: No Reader Pronouns

𓆃 In an almost stark comparison to the prospect of pursuing a romantic relationship with Mikasa, a friendship with her is a lot more open, vulnerable, and you'll find that sharing is much easier.

𓆃 Not to say that Mikasa is overly cuddly in any sense, but she is far more at ease with someone who is not only her equal, but offers a "lower stakes" relationship.

𓆃 Comfort will be your base, falling into a natural comfortability with each other though time spent together.

𓆃 Not too much of a chatterbox, you can certainly count on doing activities together with some light talk sprinkled in. Whether you're training together or taking a casual walk to the market because Mikasa's run out of one product or another, she appreciates the almost spontaneous times you spend together.

𓆃 She really enjoys unplanned adventures, no matter how dull.

𓆃 Take her on all your errands; Mikasa will hold your bags. Tell her how you need to blow off some steam and it's just the two of you in the gym.

𓆃 While Mikasa enjoys the physical activities like working out, you usually end up sitting with each other on the floor (especially when you choose to work out after dinner in the evenings).

𓆃 You'll just sit on the floor together in the middle of the gym or training grounds while you tell Mikasa a painfully detailed story about something that happened three days prior.

𓆃 And no she does not notice that she's hugging the dumbbell like a teddy bear.

𓆃 Mikasa is a nodder. It's actually very jarring how much she nods when she listens to you because she'll stare you right in the face and nod after every sentence.

𓆃 Save for the times where what you're saying pisses her off, of course. Then suddenly there's no nodding, just a blank stare.

𓆃 You're talking about a peer who screwed you over or a date that stood you up at the restaurant. Oh, Mikasa is pissed. She's the kind of friend who gets pissed for you and gets even angrier than you ever were about the situation.

𓆃 Refreshingly validating!

𓆃 She's also not afraid to say the harsh thing out loud whether it's, "That guy sounds like a dick," or, "What do you mean you said 'thank you'?"

𓆃 She can get rather harsh about your decisions, especially if it doesn't follow the logic of what she thinks you should have done. The instances are few and far between, but they can make you feel worse about a situation. In the end, she's trying to help so communicating is your best bet.

𓆃 Can and will take you by the hand or loop her arm around yours. There's a big event happening in town and she's so excited she just wraps her arm around yours as the both of you run together!

𓆃 For as quiet and stoic as she is, Mikasa is surprisingly emotionally intuitive, making her a surprisingly good support when you need someone to listen.

𓆃 Overall a really great friend and a surprisingly fun friendship.
