Armin's POV

I was pretty surprised thinking that Annie actually accepted to sleep in the same room as me. I wonder if she still feels... ugh never mind, it's been two years. These past two years felt like an absolute century because of my busy duties as Commander, I always have to thank Hitch for being there at my side at opening the world to our island.

I was a few feet in front of Annie, leading the way to our room. She always was the distanced type. We made it to the room and I stopped in front of the door when it looked like Annie didn't see me stop and accidently bumped into me.

"Oh sorry, my mind got lost" she apologized. Which I find pretty cute

"It's alright, let's go inside" I smiled down at her and led her into the room

Damn, It's only been 5 seconds and I feel tense as hell in a room alone with Annie. Last time I was in a room alone with her... well, you know...

She also acted kinda tense when I looked at her for a second, she hesitantly turned around to me and gazed straight at my eyes. Damn, her icy blue eyes remind me of... that night.

"Will you uh, shower first?" She asked

"Ohh uh... no you can go" Damn my stuttering

She nodded and took some clothes from her backpack and headed to the bathroom. I just sat in the bedside to wait her out. After all my complaining of being so busy as Commander, look at me now, I have nothing to do. Is she just as nervous as me because we're sleeping in the same room?

I laid my back to the bed and dozed off a bit, until I heard a the bathroom door creak and light footsteps.

"I thought I was sleeping on the bed?" She smirked down on me as I chuckled slightly and stood up. Annie was wearing a baggie white shirt and some black tight shorts. I took my clothes and went to shower.

Annie's POV

I went down to the bed and wrapped the covers over me as I was extremely tired from today. I was thinking of how Armin felt in the situation we are right now, because last time we were together in a room alone, well... you know...

"Hey, Annie. Can you pass me the towel, It's in my bag!" Armin shouted in his shower. I was pretty frustrated as I was about to sleep but it didn't bother me that much. I took his white towel from his bag and... Damnit I have to go inside SHIT! I hesitantly opened the door and I blushed as I saw his silhouette from the shower curtains.

"I have it" I said walking up to the shower curtains as Armin put his arm out the curtain to grab it. I gave it to him, but not as I got a little peak of his toned abs. I could feel my face burn red-hot at his.

"Thanks Annie"

"Don't mention it" I hurried out of the shower and I swear I heard little chuckle come out from the shower. Did he notice my blush? Ugh damnit.

Armin's POV

After I stopped showering I put on my white sleeveless shirt and some brown shorts. I went outside the bathroom and saw Annie resting on  the bed on her side looking away from me. I took out the extra mattress that I ordered from the reception and placed it in front of the bed. I settled inside the covers and slept.

An hour later

I was suddenly woken up by Annie as she was kneeling at my side as I was sleeping in the mattress. I rubbed my eyes and looked at her.

"Annie? What is it? I whispered

"You started screaming names and... crying a bit. Were you having a nightmare?" She looked worried and concerned, which I really appreciated.
