Annie's P.O.V
I watched the sun go down from outside my room's window. I wondered if I'll be able to see the sun rise tomorrow? Since there's no telling now when my time is up.. Ive been diagnosed with a rare unknown illness at the age of 7, that following year they discovered what it was they called it the Curse of Ymir, it is called that because scientists found that the first ever person to have this disease was a young girl ymir. They said it has no symptoms at first but it actually is eating up my life force/energy and it's said that ill probably live up to 13 years. My parents both trembled and cried in sorrow when they found that out, since then they have been protective of me and made sure i was happy all the time.. I didnt care much at first since i thought that i be fine living out my remaining years with my family. But that changed when i entered high school, i wasnt popular or anything i also barely had any friends.. But when i met Armin Arlert that guy.. He changed me. Both of us got closer and became best friends - i told him about my illness and he hugged me tight as if he never wanted to let go when he pulled away he looked at me straight in the eyes staring deep into my soul and he uttered the most unexpected words right then and there he said " If that's the case.. Then i guess i cant waste time.. He took a deep breathe, I love you annie. I was planning to confess on graduation but i guess i cant waste any more time.. I want to spend every second and minute with you.. I want you to feel happy and loved before you go.."
I became speechless at that point, and i was sure my face was a bright shade of crimson that day.
I barely could say anything back to him but how could i resist him when he is looking at me in a way that could make me melt, i knew i wouldnt be able to express myself properly with words so i pulled his necktie and kissed him, that was the moment i changed because now im actually scared of dying.. I dont want to leave him.. I wanted to spend my whole life growing old with him.. But that's impossible. I smiled sadly, just then armin came in my hospital room. Hey love how are you feeling? He asked, I feel a little better i told him( lies i thought to myself)

Okay, here i got you some donuts your favourite. He sat down on the chair next to my bed. He held my hand and laid his head on the side of my bed, I love you annie.. It scares me that i wont be able to feel you again.. Armin said. I felt like crying because i know that im going to hurt him by dying.. I didnt want it.. I dont want to break him all i really want is to be able to love him till we are old.. I ran my fingers through his soft hair love.. I love you too, but you know that i cant stay right? I said while tears fell from my face, I.. Know.. He mumbled armin sighed and took out something from his back pack it was a sketch book, Right i remember that he had been interested in art lately.

I have something to show you armin said while he flipped the pages of his sketchbook he then turned it around and showed me.. A coloured pencil sketch of me blushing, i stared at the drawing fascinated with how he emphasized the warmth on my cheeks, I-I.. Armin.. This is.. I didnt know how to say how much i loved his art.
Uhm.. I know it isnt that good but i tried my hardest to capture your beauty from that time i confessed to you he giggled a bit while looking away shyly.

What are you saying? Its more than just good armin, Your drawing is.. Beautiful.. I- I never thought i could look so pretty.. I Smiled at him, Armin turned pink from that complement. You really liked it? He asked, Yes love i did thank you for this i said while i gave him a genuine smile.

Armin took a photo of me. HEY! Why did you take a photo!? I asked him, he chuckled i had to capture your beauty.. And i plan to paint you using this photo as reference.. Armin explained to me.
I sighed fine..
Armin stood up and went closer to me, he touched my face staring at it for moment and then gently caressing it, he then moved closer and kissed my forehead. I wish i could always see you smile.. He whispered.

I held his face, armin.. I leaned forward and kissed him he kissed back with so much passion as if he wants to tell me something using the kiss.
We broke away and connected our foreheads together.

Armin's P.O.V
I pulled out a blank canvas, and started sketching her the more that i looked at her photo from that time..the more my heart would ache.
I took out a paintbrush and dipped it in the paint.
*Brush stroke*
If only i knew that was my last moment with her- i felt hot tears well up in my eyes, now im pouring every emotion i feel in this painting My pain, heartache,frustration,sadness, and emptiness that i feel.
I recalled the moments of that day.
*flashback*
We seperated our foreheads and annie laid down on her bed again, Goodnight armin.. I love you.. She said and drifted off to sleep. I looked at her sleeping face she looked so at peace.. But honestly everytime she closes her eyes.. It scares me.. What if she never opens them again? I shook off that negative thought and sat on the nearby couch and slept.
The next morning when i awoke, i noticed annie was still sleeping.. I looked at the time hmm.. 10:30? She usually wakes up early-
Realisation hit me. Panic shot through my entire body as i frantically held her hand looking for her warmth but.. It was cold.. My eyes widened i leaned down on her chest trying to hear her heartbeat.. No heartbeat, at this point the tears just fell from my eyes i hurriedly went out of her room and called the doctors. The doctors tried to revive her but they said the words i feared the most.. Time of death 10: 45 am.. The doctor announced. I couldnt believe it- NO annie couldnt be gone.. We just talked last night how could she just be gone???? I fell to my knees, doctor.. Please tell me its not true! i begged him.. But to my dismay the doctor said im sorry for your loss mr.arlert.. And left. I cried and broke down beside her, why? Not my annie.. I looked at her face once more my eyes a little blurry from all the tears ive shed but i saw annie's face as clear as daylight, it was pale...colourless and devoid of her blushes or smiles that im fond of.. I watched the colours on her face fade as she succumbed to death.
*flasbback end*
I finally finished it- the painting. I stared at it. it looks just like you annie.. I wonder would you have liked how painted you?
