(Y/n)'s P.O.V

Today's the day Armin and I go out on our first date. Though we're not a couple, some part of me feels thrilled to see Armin again.

I'd have to pick my clothing carefully, Sasha and Connie still aren't aware of the growth in my and Armin's relationship. Well, that's what I'm hoping.

Skimming through my closet, I come across the long-sleeved shirt I had worn on the day of Reiners party, I took that to wear along with my (f/c) sweatpants. I don't think Armin will think much of my clothing choice.

I grab my belongings off my dresser and open my phone to revive a text from Armin:
_____
Armin
When you're ready, I'll be outside waiting :)

You
Give me a few more secs, I'll be down
_____
I replied.

As I cross the living room, Sasha popped off of the couch and began analyzing me.

"Where're you going?" She asked.

"Nowhere?.." I replied in a nervous tone, hoping to shake her off.

"You're not fooling me. Just take me with you and I'll be fine" She exclaimed, giving me a pleading smile.

"No way." I was said firmly.

"Oh so you are going somewhere," She said, standing up from the chair with a grin on her face.

"Dang, busted!" Connie shouted, popping out of the couch as well.

When did he get here? And why am I never notified every time someone comes over? I thought.

"I'm not taking you with me, goodbye," I said, heading for the door.

Sasha hurries to my feet, gluing herself onto my right leg.

"Don't go ~" She whined.

Connie followed Sasha, clinging to my left leg.

"Yeah, take us with you" Connie wailed.

"Don't be childish." I scolded, trying to shake them off my legs.

"Is it a date?" Sasha said, looking up at me.

I went silent, still attempting to shake them off.

"It is! You're going out on a date, aren't you!" She squealed.

"I knew it! It's Armin right!?" Connie shouted.

"Get off," I said, still trying to shake off their strong grip.

They catch on fast don't they, huh. I thought.

I knew I couldn't keep it from them forever. It's Sasha and Connie we're talking about, almost nothing gets past them especially when it comes to MY business.

"Sasha you always do this, you oughta be more independent once in a while" I exclaimed.

Her devilish grin faded into a frown.

"...It's not easy for me as much as it is for you" She mumbled.

"That's fine. Just don't let this become a habit" I said as I crouched down, placing my hand on her head.

"It's not a habit..it's pure coincidence. You're just that bad at hiding things" She murmured, scoffing.

"I am not-" I said as I let out a gasp. "It's not a coincidence if it's happened more than two times, Sasha" I whispered.

Connie, who had already let go of my leg, stood up.

"Sasha's fine the way she is." He said.

This side of Connie wasn't present most of the time because he was mostly around Sasha, but he's always had this cold aura that seems to spill out once in a while. I didn't think much of it because I just couldn't see Connie in that way, but now, the aura seemed to stick out more than ever.
