armin sat with his legs crossed and a story in one hand, examining the letter that had just fallen out of the book in his other, this was the third letter he had received from the girl so far, and he already felt as if they had a favourable bond.

once again it was his turn to write the letter to her, he was to make it about what he believed was her most adequate quality, her smile.

he held the piece of paper in his hands, striving to find the right words to say, though he wasn't saying them, he was writing them.

the only other two times he had written to her, the words had just come to him. when they did, he would write, though they didn't come this time. he had to figure it out by himself.

a short sigh escaped his mouth as he placed the novel down beside him, staring down at the cover. he wondered how his favourite authors became so successful, like the novelist of the book he was reading at that moment.

it didn't take armin very long to figure it out, figure out what to write for her, figure out how they did it, figure out how much confidence he needed to think that she would like the poem.

it's your smile, your smile, it gets to me every day. it speaks to me, yet i still never know what to say. it's your smile, it warms my heart and brightens my day. it's your smile, ill bask in it always, if i have my way.

his pen in hand, he read it over again and again, making sure everything was perfect for her.

he wanted her to hang onto every word like in a book, he wanted her heart to flutter and her cheeks to heat up,

he wanted to see her smile.
