Armin has been mulling over Eren's proposal since Halloween. He's been mulling over it for three days now. He doesn't even realize the sun passing by and the sky shifting colors. Everything is such a blur that when he wakes up for his earliest class, he sees a text from their Discord server greeting him happy birthday.

happy birthday, armin! we're happy that your parents hooked up on Valentine's day
Armin can't help but chuckle and shake his head as he reads through everyone's increasingly ridiculous greetings. Ymir, the ever cryptic woman that she is, had only sent him a picture of a cake with gel frosting saying "BIRTH" in large, messy, red letters. When he finishes getting ready for the day and is about to start walking to his cryptography class, he receives texts from Eren and Mikasa.

Aw man that means i have to clean up my room again :///
but yeah i don't think armin has...... ur gonna love our place armin it's where our parties are usually at ;)))
Soon after, Krista texts him in private. She greets him with a simple happy birthday followed by an animated dolphin with a party hat. Armin laughs softly. He gives the message a little heart and thanks Krista for the greeting.
Krista
Hey birthday boy, i saw the messages in the server and do you wanna go shopping so you'd look cute for eren at the party ;3c
Armin blushes at the message. Ever since he started hanging out with My War, Krista has reworked his wardrobe. He still managed to convince her to let him keep some of his comfiest sweaters and button ups, but if a stranger glances at his closet, they would immediately think that he only shops at Hot Topic.

Aren't my current clothes enough though? My next paycheck isn't coming in until next week and my bank account's suffering.
