Guilty Pleasures [Completed]

Chapter 19

Warning: Mention of Rape
-

"I want to keep this." I said to Armin while admiring the starfish. "But it's gonna die if I do."

Armin laughed at me as I felt my foot touch the sand. I'm still in the water and Armin was beside me. He pulled my hand, scanning my palm.

"I'm glad you're not having an allergy reaction." He said and stroked his thumb on my palm. "My mom gets her palm itchy when she first touched a starfish--"

His words were cut off when someone pulled his hands away from mine.

"Eren!"

I turned my head to Eren when I saw him staring at Armin with raging eyes as if it's filled with flames. I looked at his hands on Armin's hand and saw how he gripped it tightly.

"Let go of your hands." Eren stated seriously. Armin just stared at him with soft eyes and tilted his head.

"Let go of mine first." Armin answered back. I just blinked and watched the two.

"You do know you're touching someone's wife, don't you?" Eren said straightly. I bit my lips and seems calmed down from the outside but my insides are actually panicking, unsure of what I should do.

"Eren--"

"Yeah. I know." Armin smiled, unbothered. "I was just checking if her palm's itchy. Is that bad?"

"That's not your job--"

"It is." Armin said in a matter of fact. "I am responsible for promising her stuffs." Armin smirked and glanced at me. I felt like my whole body reacted when I saw how his eyes looked at me.

"It might be your job as her husband but it couldn't be any of help if you're busy putting your attention to someone."

Armin glanced at Violet. I saw how Violet flinched, far away from us and looked away. Eren furrowed his brows at him but he never stated a word.

"What am I witnessing?" I jumped when Historia held my shoulders and eavesdropped on Armin and Eren.

I sighed and shook my head, approaching Eren. I grabbed his hands off Armin, throwing the starfish and pulled him away. I walked passed everyone who got our attention.

Connie and Sasha whistled and clapped their hands when our foot touched the shores.

"Use protections!" Connie yelled. " Or not!" He added. I looked back and glared at them, flipping my middle finger to him as I pulled Eren inside the house.

"Y/N--"

I lightly threw his hands and closed the door behind us. I glared at Eren and gritted my teeth.

"Could you just.. stop just this once? Let me atleast enjoy this moment that I am ignorant with. You don't need to start a fight with someone."

Eren looks taken aback and furrowed his brows. "I'm just taking you away from him! Can't you feel that he's being touchy around--"

"And so?!" I snapped out. "Do you want me to.. dive my head underwater and let myself drown?" I asked sarcastically. "Armin there to help so why should I decline? You were with Violet but did I interfere?"

"That's not what I meant!" He stepped forward as his jaw clenched. "We're with our friends. I'm clearly just telling him that being touchy with someone's wife is disrespectful--"

"I know!" I slammed my hands on the door behind me and chuckled bitterly.
"Wasn't Violet disrespectful too? When she was brushing her breasts, did I complain?" I asked. "No? Maybe because I didn't jumped into conclusion and just let my mind be clouded with the thought that you're just talking about works."
