He was an introverted boy, with little to no friends.
That until a certain someone caught his eye, a pair that no one would have ever guessed.
She too was the quiet girl,
both of them becoming inseparable after experiencing a traumatic event togeth...
Armin turned and tossed around in his covers, frustrated that school was in 4 hours and he barely slept at all, things weren't going as well as he thought it would. He always dreaded going to school, although he was intelligent and did well. He never really enjoyed being there, he always felt out of place. Eren was always the class clown with a huge amount of friends that Armin barely knew, which made him feel like he was doing something wrong.
The clear hazy night sky was starting to become a light shade of blue as time passed by. Red flag " Crap.." The boy sighs and reached for his phone from the night stand, out of boredom he decided to text Eren, he's always awake at this hour it's almost normal to him. the blonde boy thought to himself.

He sighs and shuts off his phone, turning to his side to face the window. " i really hope this year isn't as shitty." he frowned and soon fell asleep.

" No! no stop, what are you doing? "
" Nothing, I'm teaching you a valueable lesson young boy. "
The man reaches for his waist, pulling out a unreasonably long belt.
" NO, IM SORRY!! "
The man doesn't listen to his cries, looming over the vulnerable boy. edging closer and closer. —
Armin woke up with a start, his breathing unsteady and shaky.
" Another nightmare. " He rose to his feet, and headed to the bathroom.
He stared at his reflection, it was almost unrecognizable, his eyes were heavy with sleep followed by puffy blue eyebags. It was not a pretty sight.
He turned on the tap, cupping water into his hands and splashing the cold water onto his face. ———————
After his slow yet pretentious morning routine he runs out the door to be greeted by his close friend Eren.
" Hey what took you so long? You're lucky school is in 30 mins." The brown haired boy joked, his hair was styled in a neat man bun, and he smelled of cologne and cigs. He was taller than he was, which made him feel vulnerable Eren threw an arm over the blonde boys shoulder. "Hey how about we go to my house after school? We haven't hung out in a while." He rested his head onto Armins playfully.
" I-I..think we should get going now." Armin slowly nudged erens arm off his shoulder.
He shrugged and nodded, the pair staggered to school, reaching the front doors Eren patted Armin and headed to his class.
Armin stood there amongst the other students not knowing who he should walk to his class with, Hell he didn't even know who was in his class to begin with. He sighed and trotted up the staircase, entering the school doors.
The boy scanned his surroundings and looked down to his schedule, " Class 3-2.." He read, and ran up the stairs to the 2nd floor.
" Class 2-9... 3-1... 3-2! " As he approached the door, he worked up the courage to enter. "Okay just quickly enter and sit at the back, easy!" He dusts off his sweater and quickly walks in.
a familiar voice calls out his name
"Heyy Armin!! I'm glad you're in this class dude." He trots over to his best friend, " Come sit next to me and Mikasa and uh That blonde one.
Armin nodded and followed Eren to his seats, he sat comfortably in the back. Eren to his right and another classmate to his left.
" Hey do you know who our teacher is- " Armin turns to Eren who isn't even facing him, Instead he's showing off to Mikasa, who's acting like she doesn't care.
He turned back to his seat in embarrassment. Until he felt a tap on his shoulder.
The blonde girl next to him stared at him for a few seconds, taking in his every feature. Her hair done up in a short ponytail. " If you're wondering, our home room teacher is Mr Ackerman ." Her voice was monotone and quiet. She then turned back into her seat, plugging back in her earbud.
"Okay thank you." he muttered. She couldn't hear him but he spoke anyways.
She was intimidating, it felt uneasy having her stare locked with his own. He hoped she wouldnt be a burden to him.
—————————————
Lunch soon arrived, classes were easy. Not for Eren though, he wasn't the best at school work. Well none of his friends were quick witted, besides Mikasa. She was shy but she knew what to do and when to do it that was one of the few things he admired about her.
"Let's take that table next to the bushes. " Eren suggested, you all followed. There was a lean brown haired girl and a petite blonde girl, tagging along with you three " Hello there ! You're Armin right? " The blonde girl spoke. She was very short, having to look up to even meet eyes with him. "Oh yea I am. " Armin replied with a half smile, trying his best not to make the small talk awkward. " Whadda you think you're doing talking to my historia ? " A tall brown haired girl curled her lip as she took one arm to hook onto Historias shoulder. " Ymir! Ah.. it's fine really!! " Historia tried her best to soothe Armin." It's just that Ymir could be real blunt sometimes! heh.." The two walked to their seats. Mikasa seated next to Eren, the two were inseparable, Armin wondered if anything had been going on between the two. They were obviously into each other.
Armin walked up to a seat next to Historia, Ymir quickly gave him a death glare. Pushing him away from her and quickly claiming the seat as her own.
He shrugged it off, they must have something going on as well. Was everyone in a relationship besides him? This was getting embarrassing.
Armin slouched down onto the cold hard metal seats that the school provided for them, there was barely any room for him to sit comfortably.
Frustrated he got up and ran to roof top, his favourite place to read.
" This school is ass. " he muttered to himself the boy frowned and took a seat next to the walls. taking little to no bites of his lunch.
He sat there for a while, recollecting his thoughts. He noticed a petite shadow appearing at the corner of his eye. Just barely in his eye range of vision.
