The Girl Next Door (AOT/SNK ~ Eremin Fanfiction)

Chapter 17 ~ Friendships No More

Armin POV

So guys, about the roadtrip-" Sasha began speaking but my attention shot up and I quickly interrupted.

"Y-Yeah, sorry I can't go. My dad said no." I said. It wasn't exactly a lie... If I had've asked my dad he would've said no.

"Well I can't either because theres some shit going on right now." Eren rubbed the back of his neck. "But if Armin's not going then I'm definetly not going." He winked at me and I looked away blushing.

"Yeah well we can't go either, so I guess it's cancelled." Connie said, exchanging glances with Sasha before bursting into giggles. They were goofier today but in a weird and unnatural way.

"Why?" Eren asked.

"We just planned something." Sasha waved it off.

"It doesn't interrupt the movies this weekend does it?" Eren frowned.

"Sorry Eren, plans were changed." Connie pet Eren's back.

"I see what's happening here." Eren smirked.

"W-What?" Sasha blushed slightly.

"You guys don't wanna be my friend anymoreeeee." Eren whined and started blubbering on like some sort of idiot while Connie and Sasha were trying to calm him down while laughing.

"Shutup you dumb fuck." Mikasa yelled at Eren.

"They're dating, idiot." I rolled my eyes.

"I know, I'm not that stupid." Eren laughed.

"You sure?" Connie flicked the back of his head.

"Dick." Eren laughed and tackled Connie to the floor. I questioned their age sometimes.

"Fighting's for pussies!" Connie flipped him over as they started playful fighting.

"I am what I eat!!" Eren flipped him back over.

I couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Well yeah we are sorta..." Sasha fiddled with her hands. Connie slapped Eren once more across the face before tackling Sasha in a hug.

"Dating." Connie finished.

"Get off me!" Sasha laughed and pushed her boyfriend off her.

As they stuffed around, I looked over at Marco. He had been especially quiet today and I was starting to get worried. I was also worrying because Berthold and Reiner weren't sitting at the end of the table anymore. God knows what they could be doing right now.

Wink, wonk.

Wow, I'm kidding.

"Marco?" I asked. He looked up at me and smiled weakly. "Are you okay?" I asked. He nodded and looked back down.

"Come on." I said softly, grabbing his hand and tugging him away from the table. He followed and we began walking.

"What's wrong, Marco? What happened?" I frowned.

He was silent for a few seconds before deciding to talk. "It's about Jean."

"What did he do?" I asked.

"Well... We were messaging eachother last night and... The conversation was much sweeter than usual." Marco smiled lightly as tears threatened to spill. "Then today hes been ignoring me and... I don't know why!" He cried.

"Aw Marco, Jean's just a prick infront of his friends. I'm sure he really does care about you, but just doesn't want to say anything infront of his friends or he would be 'uncool'. You should talk to him." I reassured him. He sniffed and nodded.

"I know it just... It just hurt..." He said quietly.

"So you should tell him that. Tell him how you feel, I'm sure he will apologize right away." I smiled.

"T-Thanks Armin." Marco smiled back.

"Hey, where did you guys go?" Eren whispered when I got back with Marco. Marco tapped Jean on the shoulder and walked away with him while I smiled.

"Just for a talk. He was a bit sad." I replied, trying not to move. With Eren being so close to my ear, it was too easy to just turn around and kiss him.

But I knew I couldn't.

"Was it about Jean? Because after Marco left Jean looked pretty guilty. He even stopped being an ass to be quiet for once." Eren said, chuckling lightly.

"Yeah. I'm sure they'll work it out though."

And they did, because that very afternoon, I got a text from Marco explaining that Jean was just trying to act cool infront of his friends to hide his feelings for Marco. Now they were going out, and I honestly felt really happy for them. They looked so adorable together after all. Now it was just Eren and I in the group without a boyfriend or girlfriend. But that wasn't going to change no matter how much I wanted it to or not.

As I was sitting on my bed daydreaming, I heard a tap at my window. I approached the window slowly and looked out it to see Eren there, smiling goofily. I smiled back and opened my window.

"Hey did you get a text from Marco or something?" Eren asked.

"Yeah, why?" I asked.

"I got a text from Jean. They're together now, huh?" He propped up his elbow on the window sill and rested his chin in his hand.

"Yeah... I think it's pretty cute." I said, playing with my hair unconsiously. I couldn't stare into his eyes for too long without drooling honestly. How was I going to keep this up?

"I always knew Jean was gay." Eren rolled his eyes.

"You're an idiot." I laughed.

"I feel bad for Marco though... To end up with an ass like Jean. Marco's too innocent and cute for him." He mumbled.

"True. But I still think they're good for eachother." I smiled.

"Freckled horse."

"W-What?" I snorted.

"Well Jean looks like a horse so- Oh one sec..." He turned around and looked at his bedroom door. "Sorry?" He asked. It seemed as if someone was talking to him through the other side. "I told you no, just leave me alone!!" He yelled. He looked back at me apologetically and sighed.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Just... Alot of stuff going on." I ran a hand through his hair.

"EREN I SWEAR TO GOD OPEN THIS DAMN DOOR-" I heard Mikasa's voice boom. Jesus, she seemed mad.

"I'M NOT OPENING THE FUCKING DOOR GO AWAY!!" He yelled back.

"YOU'RE BEING UNREASONABLE-"

"I'M BEING UNREASONABLE? ME? GO-" He stopped yelling and let out a load growl. "I gotta go, sorry." He mumbled to me and closed the window.

What was going on?
