Chapter 19: Tonight Was Different

That night was a good night. Both of us slept well and kept fairly warm, basking in each other's body heat. I woke up to a cold early morning. I sat up, blinded by the piercing light shining brightly through the window. I could hear the morning birds singing their song. The bitter chill in the air hit me hard. I groaned and hid underneath the blanket. Armin was still asleep, facing me, eyes closed and lips slightly parted. He really was a beautiful boy. I poked at his soft porcelain cheeks. He grumbled and slowly opened his eyes which glittered in the light of the cabin. "Oh, sorry," I apologized. I didn't mean to wake him.

We both stared at each other, listening to nature's beautiful sounds. "Did you sleep well?" I asked. "Amazing. I haven't slept like that in what feels like years. I actually feel rested," he told me with a sweet smile glued to his face. I couldn't help but smile back at him. "I'm glad you did," I admitted truthfully.

"Thanks for letting me sleep here, Y/N."

"No problem."

"How early is it?" Armin asked, looking around the cabin. "Probably around 7:00 am," I guessed. "I wanna stay here a little longer." He told me. He then moved closer to me so that almost every square inch of each of us was touching. Oh how much I had missed human contact. I accepted his affection and moulded my body to his. He was so warm and I started to realize that he was really growing on me. Every time I was with him I felt like there was a knot in my stomach. I had a massive crush on him but it was hard to admit it. I wondered if he'd liked me in return. After all, was this really normal behaviour for a boy and a girl who are no more than friends?

Suddenly, the 7:30 am bell chimed. I had lost track of time, being in the moment and all. "We should get ready," I expressed, trying to get up. Armin pulled me back down onto the bed. He looked at me with his stunning blue eyes and demanded, "just one more minute." I snuggled back up to Armin and began to think. I so badly hoped that my feelings were not one-sided and that they wouldn't change our relationship. I wanted to tell him about how I felt but it was not the right time to do so. I wasn't completely sure about having 'feelings' for him, yet. I decided that I would wait a bit longer and see if my feelings would develop further. If they did, I would confess to him.

Armin rest his hand on my waist and shivers ran up my spine. He quickly pulled his hand away and apologized.

"I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to-"

"It's fine," I assured him. I realized that we had been in bed for a while now, so I sat up and he did too. His fluffy, feathered bedhead was adorable and I loved it so. I ran my fingers through it. "That feels nice," he moaned, almost erotically, closing his eyes and tilting his head towards me. I stopped and told him, "I'll play with your hair later. Just get ready no- oh shit."

"Y/N! There's no need for foul language, I know you're better than that."

"I'm sorry, I just keep forgetting to get your clothes from my house," I growled back at him, pressing my palm against my forehead.

"I can just get some from my cabin, it's fine. Besides, you lent me yours."

Armin placed his hand on my shoulder and smiled at me. "You sure?" I asked. "Yes, it's absolutely fine. I can just run to my cabin and get some clothes. Besides, half of them will still be sleeping," he explained.

"Want me to come?"

"No, I'll be fine on my own. You can just stay here and get yourself ready."

Armin got out of bed but I stopped him. "Bring your whole bag," I instructed.

"Why?"

"Just do it. Okay?"

"Fine," he said, slipping on his shoes, then opening the door saying, "I'll be back soon." He ran outside, letting the door swing shut behind him. I sat up on my knees on the bed and watched the eager little boy run briskly through the dew-covered grass. I grabbed the wristwatch from under my bed. It read 7:35 am. I thumped down backwards on the bed and closed my eyes, listening only to the sound of my own breath. Around five to ten minutes later there was a knock on my door. "Y/N, it's me," I heard Armin announce from outside.
