Armin POV:

Suddenly I woke up back in a classroom? The blindfold was laying next to me. Did Reiner let me go? I don't understand, maybe he isn't as bad as I thought. I heard someone yelling my name. "Armin!! Armin!!" Erens voice yelled. I started walking down the hall to find him. "Eren?" I said. "Armin!" He said as he ran toward me and engulfed me in a big hug. I smiled and said "Sorry.." "for what? I checked everywhere I couldn't find you!" Eren said. "Reiner tried to kidnap me again.. but then I woke up back here.." Eren nodded as I said this "I'll kill him!" I grabbed his arm to calm him down and said "Eren calm down.. what time is it.." Eren looked at his phone and then the door opened. "Time for school.." I nodded as people walked to there classes. Eren kept a close eye on me. I noticed him staring at me all the time. I fell asleep during class. I heard whispers in my sleep but I didn't understand what was going on.

Eren pov:

I noticed Armin asleep again. I picked him up as people stared and giggled whispered and laughed at me. I flipped them off I'm return. I put Armin in my car. He was obviously overly exhausted. As I entered my home I set Armin in bed and covered him up. I walked down stairs and made myself some tea. I poured it inside a mug and got some missing work done.

Armin POV:

Where am I... what? Oh Erens.. I brought myself downstairs as he greeted me with a hug as I sat down next to him. "What time is it?" I said as I rubbed my eyes. "Umm 9:43" Eren said as he typed something on his laptop. "It's late maybe I should get home." Eren shrugged and said "You can stay the night I don't want you going home late. I could drive you but your parents would hurt you and I don't want that.." I nodded and he shut the lid of his computer. He gave me a kiss on my forehead causing me to blush uncontrollably. He held my hand and practically dragged me to the room since I was tired. Still tired. I slept most the day but still I had nightmares ongoing ones about that weird place Reiner kidnapped me and what happened earlier. Eren tucked me in the covers as he moved close. I cuddled up with him as I felt myself falling asleep. I felt safe. I actually really did wanna stay with Eren forever permanently like he recommended. But, my parents can get out of anything. They could talk themselves out of murder. Knowing that, the police would force me home. I sighed at the thought of my parents and let myself fall asleep back to the recurring nightmares.

"R-Reiner why just untie me let me go please I wanna see Eren again.." Reiner chuckled as I said the words. He kept on laughing and my head was spinning with thoughts of fear and rage as I screamed at him.

I woke up beside Eren. The nightmare this time wasn't that bad. Usually it was gory and gross. This time it just left me scared of Reiner and his laugh. Eren smiled to see I had awaken and said "Wanna go to the ocean.. like we did that one time.." I nodded "I'd love to!" I said very energetic. He smiled and said "I knew you'd say that." I got up and he packed a bag. I didn't know why.. we weren't gonna even stay for a day? I didn't question it and ignored it. He was packing a lot of things we would need daily. I shrugged it off and walked downstairs. I started the coffee maker and grabbed a mug out and then laughed as i realized I wasn't making anything for my parents, I was so used to there demands. I wanted coffee anyways I'm sure Eren did too. I grabbed two mugs and poured the steaming coffee inside. I looked in the fridge for some creamer. I grabbed some and poured a bit inside each cup. I topped it off with some sugar and then put the mugs on the table. Eren walked downstairs with a bag and sat it down and kissed me on the cheek causing me to blush. "Thank you." He said as he saw I made him some coffee. I moved over to the kitchen. I was actually really good at cooking. I grabbed some ingredients. Eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla extract.. and pancake mix. Don't forget the syrup. I started the stove and made some pancakes for Eren. I drizzled on some syrup and set it on the table for him. He smiled and said "You should really eat something." He liked my cooking hopefully. I shrugged and said "I'm not that h-" before I finished my sentence he used the fork and technically forced me to eat it. I laughed a little as he did so. I sat down next to him and drank my coffee. He then said "You ready to go?" I nodded. I slipped on my shoes and we walked out to the car. I offered to carry the few bags he had but he shook his head no. He loaded them into the car as I sat in the passengers seat. We actually went out soon after to the mall and park and had a great time together. We looked at animals at the pet shop. I was so happy. I forgot all about the ocean. We got back inside the car as he started driving. We were driving for more than 3 hours. As he stopped the sun started setting. We got out of the car and sat down near the waters of the ocean. The wind made my hair flow a bit. My hair was almost longer than my shoulders now. I haven't trimmed it for a while. I put my head into Erens shoulder and rested it. "The stars are bright tonight"Eren said. I nodded as I noticed the sun set was gone the stars were all out. It was so pretty.
