Mikasa joined the military and became a strong soldier because she wanted to protect Eren at all costs. Initially, she had no intention of enlisting in the Survey Corps or helping Eren do so, but she proved to him that he couldn't achieve his goals without her. Meanwhile, Eren wanted to be Mikasa's protector, as he had been when they first met, so it wasn't easy for him to accept her help or depend on her. In time, he will learn that Mikasa has never seen him as someone inferior or weak, and he will come to accept her help and protection.
