God, what did Armin get himself into?

Summary Armin gives his best with Annie and Eren has a huge favor to ask for
The last few days had left Armin with more bruises than he could count. It's not just that he fell almost everytime he tried to run the fastest he could, which teared most of his sweatpants and left red burning spots all around his face.
He was surprised himself how bad he actually was at sports.
Annie wasn't satisfied with it either. The more Armin fell or unsucceeded to throw the ball in the basketball hoop he knew more bruises awaited him. She believed that the pain was the best motivator and Armin couldn't do anything but to go with it. After all if it wasn't her in the first place he wouldn't have even a small chance to face against his bully. He thought that he should be grateful for her.
"What is this?" She looked at him unbelievably the first day he showed up for practice after school.
Unfortunately the PE hall was already at use so they couldn't go there. The school yard was big enough anyway and the heat was bearable if you didn't pay that much attention to it.
"What is what?" Armin answered with a question.
She pointed at his black tight jeans and blue hoodie. "The things you're wearing. That's not an appropriate outfit."
The boy also lowered his gaze to his clothes. "I didn't have time to go home and change my clothes" he scratched the back of his head in a little embarrassment.
"All you'll achieve with this hoodie is get yourself in a hospital after a sunstroke." Armin looked down in silence. Annie sighed. "Take it off." She ordered.
As you can already guess, Armin didn't have the "perfect" body that most of the girls were looking for. He hated to exercise but on the other hand he enjoyed long walks, which kind of also gave results.
He was pretty fast runner even though he needed to learn to keep better balance if he wanted it to come in handy. He had never in his life played football before so he needed to start from the basics. When he was in 8th grade Armin used to play basketball with his classmates, not like he was very good, (shorty) but it still was something.
He did what he was ordered to.
"Next time take comfortable clothes with you. You'll need them." She took it so it wouldn't be in his way and he nodded.
"Um, which days should I come to practice?" He crossed his arms in front of his chest, feeling a little bit hot, maybe because of the heat.
