Locked Away (Armin x reader)

Take back wall Maria

"Listen up!" Yelled Erwin. "We are going to take back wall Maria once and for all! We need all hands on deck. Each of you will be assigned a new squad depending on how good you perform actions. Levi squad- main job fighting the Titans and keeping Eren safe so he can plug the hole. Hange squad will make sure we can predict movement and also get plans ready on the go, they will be our second fighting squad making sure Titans in the back stay away. My squad will be at the top working the canons and making sure everyone is filling orders correctly. Eren will also have a mini squad which will always be near him as protection. We also will have a squad protecting the horses. As you can see this is a big job...now devote your hearts!" Everyone salute

After they named who was in what squad you went with Armin to squad Hange. Hange showed you all the plans and explained how you all would go about it. The plans were easy enough to follow and the other squads had Set positions to follow. You followed Armin to retrieve your horses together and set them uo for Tomorrow. "Armin?" You said. "Yeah y/n?" "I'm scared for tomorrow. Armin sighed and set the water bucket down to come over to you. "I'm scared too but at least we are on hanged squad so I just know we will be alright." "I know but I don't wanna die" you said with tears in your eyes. He pulled you in for a hug feelings your tears wet his shirt. You looked up to see him tears eyed and blushing too. "It's okay" he said with a soothing tone. After a bit of hugging you both went back to work feeding the horses and getting the saddles ready. "Ready to head in for the night?" You said. Armin gave a nod and took your hand to walk back to the bunkers together.

Later that night all you could think about is what would happen if you died or got captured. Scouts have been captured before and kept by Titans as experiments. You rolled over to see Armin sound asleep next to you. You figured tonight you'd sleep together just incase. You snuggled closer into his chest tearing up thinking about all that would go down. It was simple you defeat titans and let wrens squad do their work. Simple, simple, simple you told yourself. But you couldn't help but think back to your traumatic past and think what if you were taken like that again. You felt Armin roll a little and grab your hand which you had been chewing your nails at out of nervousness. He closed his eyes and didn't seem to be awake but you closed yours to sleep so he could stop worrying and go back to sleep.

The next morning

It was the next morning. Everyone was outside getting their horses and meeting up with your squads. You and Armin walked out to hange on your horses to find her standing near a cart ready. Erwin made his big speech before you all started flying through the fields. In a flash you said I love you and goodbye to Armin and went off to your formation. You hoped it wouldn't be the last time you saw him. You pulled the small Polaroid of him and you and looked at it before putting it away and pushing forward.

After a bit of running you saw smoke signals signifying you were almost there. The dark was setting in, you could see the wall ahead and could hear loud screams of cheering. Work wasn't done yet though. You still had to clear the Titans out. When you arrived you were too put the horses away and find your squad to start working on the wall. The inner gate was to be sealed by Eren which everyone would be protecting and killing Titans within the distracts. Then after plug the outside hole and work on finishing off some Titans. Perfect easy plan. Or so you though....
