Carousel of Affection [Attack on Titan/Black Lagoon Crossover] [Complete]

Armin

Armin's Perspective

"I kissed him." I confessed to Mikasa. She looked up from her laptop on the coffee table with a surprised expression covering her face. I shrugged, looking down at my hands. "Yep..."

"Why're you so nonchalant about it? You've had a crush on this guy for like the past few years now! Isn't this a good thing?" She moved her head to find my face, "Armin?"

I looked through my bangs at her searching face, "I guess. But I think he likes Rebecca. And he believes Rebecca likes me." I went on her side of the table and sat beside her, "What am I supposed to do?"

She shrugged, leaning back on the couch. I lay my head on her shoulder, "What do you think you should do?"

I shrugged again, "That's why I'm asking you. I really like this guy but I also want his happiness. If that means it's with Rebecca, so be it."

I heard her smile before she kissed my forehead, "You're a smart guy with a big heart, Armin. You're also quite the catch so I'm sure there's someone else for the both of you, the three of you, if not each other."

I smirked, smiling. Mikasa's right; I'm sure we'll all find someone if not each other. But what if it is each other? You can't have more than two people in a relationship... Can you? Well, considering polygamy to be a thing, you probably can. But would we all be comfortable with it?

I sat up, stretching. Thinking must be weighing my head down. "Mikasa, make sure you lock up if you leave, I'm going to bed." She nodded before returning to her work on her laptop.

When I got to my room, my phone was the only light illuminating the small room. I was getting a call. The ID read Levi. Why is he calling me? "Hello?"

"Hey, Armin. You're still up or did I wake you?" I looked at the clock on my end table that read almost 10:45, "No, I was heading to bed but did you need something?"

"Yea, you mind if I stop by?" The background sounded noisy but quietly noisy, as if he were outside his house or car.

"No, you can come by, I guess." I went back down stairs and sat on the couch across from Mikasa. She gave me a who's-on-the-phone look and responded in sign, Levi.

"Good. Come open the door then." My face flushed red before I practically leaped to answer the door. The call cut off before I opened the door. When I did, before I could get a greeting out, a pair of arms wrapped around the small frame of my waist and Levi's head nuzzled closely into the crook of my neck.

By habit, I wrapped my arms around him, "Levi?" I asked confused yet surprised. He didn't respond; instead, he tightened his grip around me. I sighed, hugging him back, hoping this wasn't a depression hug.

After some time, he finally looked up and spoke: "Armin, I can't date Rebecca." My eyes widened; what does he mean? "Well, I can go on a date with her but I don't want her to be my girlfriend."

I blinked the burn of my dry eyes away, having been gaping at his statement, "Well, what do you want?"

He smiled, pushing my blonde hair away from my face and behind my ear, "I want you, Armin Arlert, to go on a date with me. And I want you, Armin Arlert, to be my boyfriend."

I could've died, went to Heaven, Hell, and reincarnated after that proposal. After I realized what he asked me, I couldn't help but nod like a mute seal and smile like a drunk clown. Levi grinned, hugging me again but this time I hugged him back as tightly as he did me. He began to kiss my neck playfully, making me giggle at the ticklish butterfly kisses.

When the laughing g subsided, I had to ask, "What made you change your mind, if you don't mind me asking."

He smiled and looked down at our intertwined fingers, "Between the kiss at the office and me and Rebecca's McDonald's run, I just couldn't see myself as happy with her as I thought I would be." He looked up at me, kissing my hands, "But like the butterfly and the lilies, no other pair could compare to our beauty."

A tear welled at the corner of my eye. "The last line of Butterfly Affect." I said, chuckling with tears streaming down my face. He nodded, wiping my face before kissing me softly. And I couldn't do much else but kiss back, ignoring the small tears that trickled down my face.

If this wasn't a fairy tale ending, then it was surely the best book I've ever read. The one true love is finally mine and there's no one who can take him away.
