So I have watched and read all of AOT and there's still one thing that really bugs me. Mikasa is Eren's "adoptive brother" and they lived together and both lived their childhoods like they were actual siblings.

BUT as many have noticed, Mikasa blushed several times at the times throughout the story when Eren was noted to be her "boy friend" or at times when the two were alone. And the whole thing with Mikasa only wanting to be with Eren doesn't seem to me like a brother/sister thing (at least in my mind). Whenever  I hear her say something along the liens of wanting to protect Eren, I feel like there is more of a love thing going on and not so much family thing.

This is my personal opinion and anyone else can object to it, but I think Mikasa is in a sense covering up her (true) love and feelings for Eren by telling herself that they're family. Mikasa just doesn't feel the need yet or is scared/shy of reveling her feelings to him. And the biggest factor in all this (I think) is that Mikasa as well as most of us AOT fans, feels confused by the dilemma.

I really hope that later on in the future  some light will shed on their relationship, even if it's for fan service cuz it's honestly driving some fans (like me) crazy not knowing what they'll become in terms of it.
