Crush, Armin x Reader

Chapter 7

Those piercing blue eyes met your own. You watched as his eyes traced over your figure. Your legs were covered by thin lace, the dress reached to your mid-thigh. You smiled at his expression as you walked over to him. "Wow, Y/N. You look great." He said, completely mesmerized by your appearance. "Thanks Armin." You said with a sweet smile.

You could tell he had already smoked a blunt or two by the way his half-lidded eyes laid upon your own. "There's so many people here." You said, stepping closer to him. "Does that make you nervous?" He asked. "Maybe a little." You replied. "It made me nervous at first too." He said with a reassuring smile. "I won't let anything happen to you." He said. You snapped your head at him. His protectiveness caused you to blush, "Thank you." You said, unable to keep eye contact.

You greeted his other friends that stood on the porch. Reiner and Eren were busy fighting over politics, while Connie, Sasha, and Jean were all tearing up in laughter. You noticed Ymir and Historia sitting on one of the chairs, Historia resided in Ymir's lap. "Happy Birthday!" You said as you approached the couple. You noticed Ymir's grip tighten on Historia as you approached. "Thanks!" She said with her usual peppy attitude. You gave her a soft smile and walked back over to Armin. His outfit looked nice. He wore baggy cargo pants and a black hoodie with writing on the front. His clothes were always new looking. You could tell he took good care of his belongings.

As you walked back over to him, you noticed the group moving back inside. "Where are we going?" You said, catching up to Armin. "The basement. Wanna get beat in pool again?" He asked with a smirk. "We'll see about that." You said as you rolled your eyes. You followed the big friends group into the basement where you celebrated Armin's birthday. It wasn't too surprising that there were already people down there playing pool, but at least it wasn't as crowded as upstairs.

You followed Armin over to the bar and he pulled out a bottle of Everclear. Your eyes immediately got wide. You'd never had Everclear before but you've heard stories about how strong it is. "Connie come and make some of that hunch punch." Armin said, calling him over. "Hell yea!" He said, making his way over to the bar. You watched as the gray haired boy poured a variety of punches, Vodka, and Everclear into a big bucket. Armin stood next to him giving him the drinks out of the fridge. You watched Armin as he engaged with one of his friends. He looked so attractive tonight. You stared at the silver rings on his hands and imagined how they would feel...

You were snapped out of your thoughts when an arm wrapped around your shoulders. "Hey, what are you guys making?" Mikasa asked, sitting down next to you. "Hunch Punch I guess." You said, shrugging your shoulders. "Ooh, whose idea was that?" She asked. "Armin's." You said with an amused face. "Damn Armin, you must be trying to get shitfaced." Eren said, walking up behind Mikasa. Armin looked back at Eren, "No! I just thought Y/N would like it." He said with a frustrated sigh.

Eren chuckled at his expression and looked over at you, "I thought you didn't drink that much." He said. "I don't." You said with an amused face. "Well it's definitely a kicker, you might just need one cup." He said back. You nodded. When you found out Armin smokes and drinks you were surprised. Although he lived in a frat, you just didn't expect him to like things like that, but Eren being his best friend was enough for it to make sense to you.

Armin stretched his arm out to you with a cup in his hand. You smiled and took the cup. You brought the cup to your lips and took a swig. It was definitely strong but tasted good. You looked at Armin who was expecting a reaction, you smiled and nodded your head. "It's good!" You said. His face lit up and he took a swig from his cup as well. "Come on, let's play a game real quick while the table is empty." He said, guiding you to the pool table in the center of the room.

You followed Armin to the table and watched him gather the balls and form the triangle. You positioned the white ball and chalked up your stick. He let you go first once again. You hit the white ball and got solids. You leaned up against the table to complete your turn. After hitting the white ball, you stood up and felt the front of your dress get stuck to the table. The fabric covering the front of your legs all the way up to your hips ripped. "Oh shit." You said as your face immediately turned red and your hands shot down to cover yourself. Armin rushed over to your side and ripped off his sweatshirt. He was left in only a plain T-shirt. He handed you his sweatshirt and made sure to cover you. You blushed at his protectiveness. It made you smile. You tied his sweatshirt around the front of your dress, covering up the ripped fabric.
