"I can't wait until we get there!" Armin says, bouncing slightly in his seat, mikasa was smiling at him in the rear view mirror.
"I'm sure we'll be there in a few minutes or so." Eren said from the front seat. He looked back at Armin and smiled, which in return he got a bright smile from Armin again.
After a few minutes of laughter and talking about childhoods, they arrived at the orphanage, all gazing at it as if it were a statue made of pure gold.
"C'mon! Let's go in already!" Eren yelled, running towards the door, followed by Armin. Mikasa walked slowly behind them while laughing at the two boys.
Opening the door, the smell of cinnamon was all around in the atmosphere, and the happy laughter of children were heard everywhere.
"This place is still the same.." Armin said, walking forward while looking around at the children.
"Armin?"
The three heard a soft voice call armins name.
A shorter women with strawberry red hair and brown eyes walked up to them. She had on a dirty looking apron, and tears were in her eyes.
"Ms. Petra!" Armin said, along with eren and mikasa.
"Oh my, eren! You've grown so much! Leaving me down here all by myself, haha." Petra laughed while looking up at eren.
She had slightly noticeable wrinkles on her face, but she still had the same joyful smile.
"And mikasa, I've seen you on tv, you look so strong and beautiful, I've missed you!" Petra gave eren and mikasa a great hug, kissing them both on the cheek.
"Oh and armin, I could never forget you! Are you still reading?" She asked, going to give Armin a kiss on his forehead.
"Yeah, of course I am!" Armin said.
Eren looked at Armin and Petra as they engaged in a conversation about books and what not. It was so sweet.
"Oh, how lovely it is to see you three. I miss when you all were so little!" Petra said. "I remember when you and armin would go and steal books from the library."
"Well I wouldn't call that stealing!" Eren shouted, laughing at the memories of their childhood.
"Well well, I want the children to meet you all, they'll be so delighted to meet some of my former children."
Petra took the three two a big room with two large tables in the middle. Each seat had a small child in it with a plate of food before them.
"Everyone!" Petra says.
The kids quickly stop there chatter and turn towards the small women with the three taller kids behind them.
"Yes ms Petra!" The kids call out, clearly they all look to Armin, eren and mikasa.
"I want you all to meet Armin," she pointed to Armin in which he gave a quick wave and a nervous smile. "Eren," eren falshed a big smile and said—"hey!"—"and mikasa." Mikasa pulled her scared over her mouth and waved.
"These three all went to this orphanage when they were your age, and look at them now! So pretty and handsome."
The kids started to surround the three, talking to them and asking of their experiences at the orphanage.
Eren stared at Armin as he sat and talked to three little kids who had reminded him of themselves. He was so sincere with his words, and was nice to the children.
A blush came to his cheeks once again, and he looked away. "Armin..." he said.
"What in the world are you doing to me?"
