Annie's P.O.V
I was in my room listening to a playlist my childhood friend armin made for me. I looked at the time and realised i had to study for the exams tomorrow so
I set my headphones aside and pulled out my notebook from my bag, as i was flipping through my notes  i noticed that from the next page a piece of paper was sticking out, I took it and checked its contents. It was a poem..and letter.
+++++++++
I dont know how to start,
Everytime i see you my chest feels like it would break apart.
I want to tell you 3 words that i could barely utter.
Whenever i try to say them to you they end up in a whisper.
*Below the poem is a letter*

I may want to only say 3 important words to you but I have a thousand reasons why i fell for you.
I love the way your eyes shine when you are suprised, I love the way your hair flows with the wind, I love your smile and laugh, your strength and confidence and even when you are shy, i love the way you hide behind your bangs when you are embarassed, i love your personality and your mind, i love  a lot about you.. I could go on but it wouldnt fit in the paper anymore..
As much as i want to be your knight and for you to be my damsel, that's impossible since im not that kind of hero and you are a strong woman. But for once i want to be able to save you..Im afraid to tell you the 3 words i want to say because what if you dont feel the same? But its fine if i wont tell you.. I will still forever be by your side.

From, A~

Annie's P.O.V
My eyes widened and i could feel warmth spread through my face,
A thousands thoughts ran through my mind. Who wrote this? Someone actually feels that way for me? When did that note get there? But my mind focused on 1 question, Who could the mystery person be? A certain golden blonde popped in my head at that thought. I turned pink, No way.. It couldnt be him.. For all i know armin doesnt see me in that way.. He likes historia... Pain shot through my heart when i remembered that moment in first year highschool, me and armin were standing beside our lockers talking till historia passed by and said hi, I saw him.. His eyes sparkled when he saw her.. His smile was as wide as can be while he was nervously waving at her. At that moment i felt a dull ache in my chest.. I sighed and stopped reminiscing that memory. I took out my phone and chatted the only person i know is smart to  help me figure out the mystery person.
---------chat--------
Annie: Hey coconut head, are you up?

Armin: Yup! Hi annie! How was the playlist??

Annie: it was great.. Thanks.
Annie smiled behind the screen, she loves her conversations with him.

Armin: You are welcome, im glad you liked it.

Annie: can you come over?

Armin seened it*

Annie: Hey answer me coconut..

Annie: fine.. Its okay if you dont want to.

Annie's phone rang, she checked and it was armin calling her. She answered it.
+on the phone+
Annie: why were'nt you replying? She asked annoyed.
Armin: sorry about that, but look out your window.
Annie: why would i look out my window?? She asked confused.
Armin: Just go look! He laughed a bit.
Annie: fine.. She hung up.
-------end call---------

Annie got up her bed and walked to her window, she opened it and looked outside. Her eyes widened    and saw armin waving at her while sweating he looked like he ran to get here. Armin lived in next street so he must have ran to get here quickly. Annie smiled a bit and waved back. She went outside and dragged him to her room.

Armin was breathing out heavily from all the running, he sat on annie's floor and annie sat on the edge of her bed.

Armin's P.O.V
I was breathing and sweating heavily from exhaustion. Sports isnt really my favourite. I looked at annie who was looking down at a piece of paper, i decided to ask her why she called me and i have a hunch its about the paper in her hands.
Annie looked at me and said umm.. I need your help.. She was blushing a little. I found it cute. I see what do you need help with annie? I asked her she then stood up and handed me the piece of paper she was holding, I need help to figure out who the person behind that note is..Annie replied  while looking away. I stared at the note and read its contents. My eyes widened and my jaw dropped, She found it.. The note that i made for her a week ago..i turned crimson, Oh no! I panicked internally no way.. What did she think?? She must have thought it was cheesy and creepy.. My thoughts were beginning to overtake me till i realised something.. She wants me to figure out who wrote it. Why? Why would she do that if she didnt like it? Or thought it was cheesy? Hope flashed in my eyes, Could annie feel the same? I looked down to prevent annie from seeing how pink i was at this point. I have to ask her.. Why she wants to know. So i did.

Annie's P.O.V
Why do you want to know who it is annie? Armin asked me seriously but he was looking down.
I was taken aback by that question, truth is i dont know why.. I just really want to know who. Hm..just out of curiosity really.. I answered him.
I see.. He replied sounding unsatisfied with my answer. Armin stood and stared at me, i gulped the way he was looking at me made my hair on my neck stand up, it wasnt a  scary look but rather a very serious face.
He walked closer and closer while i backed away everytime he stepped forward but i ran out of space to step back on and eventually hit the wall. He then stepped forward placing his right hand above my head our faces inches away, i turned red. Shit- what is he doing? Why is he suddenly looking dominant? I stared at him and he said something that made my heart leap into the heavens above.
Annie.. What if I tell you that.. The person you are looking for.. Is standing in front of you?
I-I I didnt know what to say my mind blanked out and my face became flushed at our faces being so close. T-That was you? I managed to ask. Yes.. I wrote that poem and letter and slid it on your notebook last week during recess. My eyes widened, armin likes me? But dont you like historia? I asked armin. He looked at me in disbelief, Historia?? No its always been you annie.. I only had a small crush on historia at 1st year for like a day! And that was it. My feelings for you were still stronger he admitted. I Smiled and both of us blushed. Well if that's the case.. I pulled his face closer to mine and kissed him my heart felt like it was soaring here i am kissing the guy ive always loved. I pulled away and asked him, Say armin.. Why dont you tell me those 3 words you could barely utter? After all you now know my answer. I smirked giving him a playful stare. He was flushed and looked at me I-I love you Annie leonhart armin confessed whilst leaning in for another kiss, And I love you too Armin arlert. Our faces once again centimeters apart till the distance was sealed with our lips connecting.
