Chapter 2 |Confession

ARMINS POV:
It had been a month since then and My mother pushed the door open yanking me by my arm as she yelled "WALK DAMIT!" She lead me to the bathroom pushing my face in water I couldn't get much air but it had been a big bucket full of ice water, every time my father hurt my face she had to dunk my head in ice water so my eyes weren't swollen I couldn't go to school with any wounds. I gasped for air as she held my head by my golden blonde hair. My eyes aight got blurry from the water she then said as she took my head out yelling "LISEN IF THEY SEE YOU WITH A GOD DAM PUFFY FACE AND WOUNDS THEY'LL ASK ME QUESTIONS DAMIT NOW LISEN DAMIT" she said yelling as she dunked my head down in one more time. After she kicked me away leaving me there and said "get in you're uniform and make coffee HURRY UP IM NOT WAITING" I rushed to my bedroom throwing on some clothes with a hoodie as I slipped my shoes on still coughing gasping for air from that. I then started the coffee machine and pulled out a mug from the cabinet and set it down on the table. I also usually made breakfast not hardly getting to eat much anyways not that it mattered. I started cracking eggs and made bacon on the stove and served it in a plate. I made two plates leaving one out for my father and got another cup of coffee adding ice since he liked his cold. I had to make sure no mistakes.
My mother said as she got out her cigarettes "and run to get groceries after" she slipped me 20 bucks for groceries after I was done with school today I had to go to the store. I nodded and opened the front door
grabbing the car keys and my phone. I had only been allowed to drive when I was doing errands or going to school that was it. I made my way to school. I parked the car in the parking lot and unbuckled myself. I made my way to the door and slipped through. I noticed Eren was standing by my locker he then smiled as I appeared in his sight and he said "heyy.." I smiled back at him opening my locker to grab my bag. He then got closer to me and cupped my cheek and said "what's with the bruise you okay!? You have a bruise on your face!" He said shocked. I looked at him and said nervously as I fidgeted with my fingers also blushing he was soooo close. I then said "o-oh I have a bruise oh I guess I... w-well when I got home I fell down the stairs". I said quietly Eren looked suspicious and said "hm no if you fell down the stairs you would've gotten more of a scratch.. that bruise is bad are you okay does it hurt." Armin shook it off and said "don't mention it I'm fine just as always." I said giving a fake smile I wish I could say I wasn't fine I WASN'T OKAY
I WAS BEING ABUSED
I NEEDED HELP
IM HURT
but I could never say anything about it and never will.
I then grabbed my things Eren seamed to stare at me a lot.

As we walked down to our class I sat by the window he sat beside me I noticed he'd really been in most my classes it was sweet that he mentioned it
Time went by quick school had been over Eren rushed over to me blushing a lot I didn't think much of it anyways and shook away my thoughts as I reached in my locker at the top using my tippy toes to put a book back.
Eren moved over to help me and placed it in its spot smiling he then said "h-hey wanna go out again.. I kinda I understand if not I just really I like- never mind but do you wanna get something to eat with me." I smiled and blushed and said "yes of course
But I have a few errands to run if you don't mind." I could never say know I had the biggest crush on him how could I say no!
I grabbed my money I placed in my locker and slipped my phone in my pocket. We began to walk to my car and he told me he didn't bring his since he walked to school it was a short walk but never mind that. I grabbed the groceries I just bought putting them in the back and I had a couple bucks left. I got back into the car in the drivers seat and said "okayyy... were so you wanna go." Eren locked eyes with me and said "h-hey can I tell you something this seams random but I-" I nodded and looked at him confused. He looked back at me.

Erens POV:
I have to get this out through the past year I've seen how cute he is and through the past year he's made me happy we used to talk but he's so ... lonely I love him I don't know why but I do. I always notice bruises someone's hurting him. I'll find out one day but other than that I have to confess to him I need to tell him I'm in love I've always known what my sister Mikasa told me ever since I told her about my crush she said actions are better then words so...
Maybe if I just kissed him maybe ... maybe he'd... I locked eyes with him and cupped his cheek and kissed him I blushed so much, I saw him blushing deeply and he said.

ARMINS POV:
He- k-kissed me wha- I don't understand I don't get it!
I began to kiss him back as we pulled away at the same time and I locked eyes with him and he began to pull me in for a hug I then said "Eren I love you..."
Eren looked shook as if he'd just saw a glimpse of a dead body he then said "A-Armin you l-love me!? I've always loved you since... since I first saw you.."
I then said "when I met you at the library it was love at first sight I guess it's weird to admit but I never had any friends really but you were caring and nice and sweet and funny and cute and I fell in love"
Eren said "Armin Arlert will you be my boyfriend" he said in an accent trying to be silly but also really meaning it.
I then said "Eren Yeager of course" I said mimicking his accent and smiling back at him.
