An Arranged Marriage (Armin x FEM!Reader)

Chapter 5: The News

A/N: I'm sorry for not posting a lot, I have been trying but I have exams soon in like a couple of weeks and other things that I get busy with. This chapter is a little bit shorter but chapter 6 will definitely be longer.  

It was the next day and, since it was a Sunday, I had no classes. I was telling Historia about my date with Armin yesterday.

"He's definitely a keeper, Y/N," she says to me. I started to feel my face heat up. Even Historia thinks we're good together.

━━━━━━━

It has now been 4-5 days since I went on my date with Armin. Every single time someone mentioned his name I had this feeling in my heart that I can't even put into words. We texted each other every night and checked to see if we needed help with homework.

I wanted to hangout with Armin today at the cafe, seeing as we haven't really seen each other much, but he said he needed to see his mom at the hospital.

"I hope you mom is okay and she takes care," I say, on the phone with Armin.

Armin's POV

"Okay, I'll make sure to tell her," I say, smiling into the phone. We hung up and I got into my car to drive to the hospital.

20 minutes passed by and I'm finally at the hospital. Walking to the front where the reception desk is, they told me her room was 216.

216...216...216- ah ha, found it. Apparently she had some news to tell me, hopefully it's something about her sickness getting better. I opened the door silently to see what she was doing first. Her hair was in a short ponytail with the same type of sandy blonde hair as me. She was reading a book. The Land of Stories... isn't that a kids book? She saw that the door was open and welcomed me in.

"What were you doing with the door open a crack?" she saids with a smile, breaking into a little laugh.

"I didn't want to disturb you while you were reading," I say while a little laugh slipped out. She put her bookmark onto the page she left off and put it on her side table.

"So, what did you want to talk to me about?"

"Well, I'm sure you know how I've wanted you to marry a wealthy woman and, I decided to set up an arranged marriage," she says with a smile on her face. The smile she made scared me a little, as if it was forced in a way but it wasn't.

But that's what she wants, not me. I think unconsciously, sitting there in shock, not knowing what to do.

"What do you mean, mom? I have a girlfriend right now. I don't need this arranged marriage." I said this all in a harsh tone. I've never really gotten mad at her before, at least not this bad.

"Oh come one, give this girl a chance again."

"Again? What do you mean?"

"Oh, it's the same girl you've known since you were younger, Annie Leonhart."

Oh shit.
