The next morning after you slept with Armin

You wake up sore, and you find yourself wrapped around Armin's arms. It took you a few blinks to realize what you did with him last night. Oh gosh. The more you recall, the more you start to feel embarrassed for yourself because of the way you just threw yourself at him. You quickly open the car door and you try to get out to stretch, but instead you fail and almost drop to your knees. Before that could happen though, Armin caught you and helped you up. Damn he's fast. Those "instincts" of his sure are sharp.

"Woah, be careful," Armin says, holding you by the arms. He helped you balance yourself and you stand in front of him.

"Sorry-"

"Why do you keep apologizing? It's fine and if you're still worried about what I truly felt yesterday, I chose to sleep with you, so please don't blame yourself," He says gently, rubbing his eyes from his sleep. The way he's just able to read you like a book, it's really impressive.

"Thank you..." You say, running out of words to say because what do you even say after that? Now you felt even more guilty because he probably thinks you regret what happened between you two. But you don't. In fact, you wanted more. You check your phone for the time and realize that it's around 11 am. Then you see over 10 missed calls from Pieck, 3 from Reiner and 5 from Bertholdt. Shit. You got so fed up in your own desires, you forgot about them.

"Hold up Armin, I have to call my roommate real fast," You say with a nervous smile. He nods and goes on his phone too. You call Pieck and she quickly picks up.

"WHERE ARE YOU??" She screams worriedly, like how a mom would.

"Pieck. I'm okay, please don't worry about me I'm just with my-" You look back at Armin and you hesitate to say his name. He seems to be calling someone too, so you go back to listening to Pieck.

Before you start to make up excuses, she interrupts you. "WAIT. wait. DID YOU HAVE SEX LAST NIGHT?" She screamed out, but this time her tone was more excited. You sigh in relief.

"Pieck, I'll tell you the deets later, be right back," You say as you notice that Armin ended his call and is waiting for you to finish yours.

"YOU BETTER. OMG ANYWAYS I'LL SEE YOU LATER YOU HOTTIE, I HAVE NEWS TOO" She exclaims and hangs up on you. You're just glad she isn't mad at you. You hate having to worry her, she has enough things to deal with. Pieck has lost her mother early in her childhood and her father is terminally ill, so she works as many jobs as she can to be able to pay for her father's medication. You applaud her for still being able to have a smile on her face, considering how many responsibilities she has. And you appreciate her greatly for even having the time to worry about you.

You turn off your phone and Armin comes up to you saying, "I'm guessing you need to go back to your dorm?"

"Yeah haha, I hate making her worry so uhh... do you think you can drop me off to my dorm?" You say, looking down on the ground. You really don't want to ask him for any more favors, but you can barely even stand, let alone walk.

"Sure, I was actually just about to stop by mine too because my roommate freaked out. It's unusual for me to stay out all night, so I get where he's coming from," He says as he starts to walk towards his car. You follow him while limping and you get in the front passenger's seat. He starts the car and looks back to his seat to maneuver his car onto the driveway safely. The whole drive was silent. You didn't know what to say or do, you can't even look at his eyes.

The supposed five minute drive felt like it went on for hours. When he finally pulls up in front of your dorm building, you look at him and open your mouth to speak but he interrupts you before you could say a word.
