Trouble (Eren/Reader/YandereArmin)

The End: Armin

A/N: Just wanted to thank everyone who's provided feedback and encouragement for this fic. I actually had a lot of fun writing this and appreciated every kudos, bookmark and comment! Also, thank you for sticking it out even though I made (Y/N) a dumb bitch something haha ALSO I've started a sequel to this fic on AO3 that follows Armin's end. If anyone is interested I will post it on wattpad as well.

Armin didn't need to knock on the door, he'd had a key way before all of this, but stopped using it when (Y/N) had gifted him one she had made. His original plan had been to act like nothing was wrong, but the deafening silence in the apartment made him think twice about the approach and he cautiously called out her name.

"In here."

Armin followed her voice, which hadn't been very far since she was sitting on the couch staring at the wooden box he knew had been missing from his closet. Judging by the look on her face, she'd already had a gander inside, "I thought Eren might be here."

Her head turned towards him, an eyebrow quirked as if she were in offended he thought to bring that up at the time. "He will be soon. Armin, what the hell is this?"

"I know this doesn't look good, but it's harmless really!" He quickly took the seat beside her before she had a chance to tell him not to as he hoped to explain away her concerns. It was going to be practically impossible he was sure, but it wouldn't hurt to try.

"Harmless?! What about the pills? Please tell me you didn't Armin... I trusted you! I thought you were my friend!" Her voice cracked slightly, as much as she didn't want to believe the obvious it was impossible to ignore it, regardless of how utterly shocking it was.

"I didn't! I swear! I just got them one day because I was upset, but I didn't because I love you I wouldn't hurt you!" He supposed technically he'd been lying about not using the drugs, but he didn't use them the way she thought so he wouldn't worry about the technicality of the situation. Instead he was more focused on not letting the tears fall from his own eyes while she looked at him like that.

"Why would you.... Why would you do all of this? I mean... Eren was right? I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around all this..."

"I just love you so much! I know it's insane, and- and I get your concern, but it's true! I just love you so much... it hurts. I know I shouldn't have done it, but I was just jealous and you were with Eren so I just... just coped the only way that made sense! I just wanted to be close to you." There wasn't any stopping to the tears now spilling from his eyes, matching the ones spilling from hers. He reached for her hand and he truly felt like he'd been punched in the stomach when she flinched and yanked it away from him. "Please... don't do this. You know I love you... you love me. You loved me this morning and I'm still the same person!"

"I wouldn't if I'd known... how do you expect me to love someone who wanted to, possibly did drug me, you broke into my house! You invaded my privacy! You betrayed my trust! Holy shit, I can't believe you made me feel bad about the way Eren treated you. I can't believe you acted all innocent when you were doing... this!" She gestures to the evidence he himself had compiled.

"Are you going back to Eren?"

"That has nothing to do with this, don't try to turn this around on me."

"You're sure that there's no way that you can be with me?"

"No! Armin you need help-"

He pulled what he hadn't wanted to out what he hadn't wanted to, but he had been prepared to do. Sure, a pocketknife wasn't the most intimidating thing when you considered a gun, but he was already so close to her and the blade wasn't small by any stretch of the imagination once he pulled it open. "Get 2 of those pills out of the bag and take them."
