Now lets get on with the story

Armins POV:

I woke up to the sun shining brightly in my face and my alarm clock going off. It was a Sunny Wednesday morning. I tiredly got up and walked to the bathroom where i brushed my teeth and washed my face. I then walked back into my room and got dressed for the day.

"Today is Erens birthday" i thought happily.

Just as i was about to leave my room, my mom opened the door

"Get up Ar-" she stopped as she saw me standing there, already dressed and ready to go.

"Someones excited for school today." She said with a smile "Any special occasion?"

I gave her a smile before responding

"Its Erens birthday today, i wanna be the first person at school to wish him a happy birthday" I said happily.

"Oh, i see" Mom said "Eren is your boyfriend right?"

My face went bright red. 

"N-no! Why would you think that?"

I hadn't even told my mom i was gay so i had no idea where she got it from. Sure i had been in love with my best friend ever since we were kids but we weren't dating. Theres no way Eren returned my feelings. Just thinking about him made my heart both ache and race at the same time. I knew he was probably never gonna be mine, but the mere thought of him made my heart go crazy.. his messy dark brown hair.. his eyes that were so green they made emeralds jealous.. his perfectly structured face.. his incredible personality.. everything about him was perfect. I snapped out of my thoughts just as my mom was about to answer.

"Relax, i was just kidding" She said "I know he's your best friend, you've been best friends for so long it would be impossible for me to forget"

I let out a small relieved laugh before we both went out the door and started heading down the stairs. 

"You know Armin, even if he was your boyfriend i wouldn't mind.. I'll always accept you"

The suddenness off her words caused me to almost trip down the stairs. She wasn't seriously about to have this conversation with me? I was always scared of coming out to my parents, mainly because my dad just gave off this homophobic energy, its hard to explain but it just caused me to not wanna say anything. Because of that i at some point tried to convince myself i was straight but eventually i got tired of lying to myself and just came to terms with the fact that i like guys.

"Uhm.. okay" I awkwardly spoke before rushing down the rest of the stairs and quickly grabbing the cereal box, the milk and a bowl. I quickly poured the cereal into the bowl and grabbed a spoon before chewing it down. I left quickly before my mom could continue. I was scared if i told her, she'd tell dad and then all hell would break loose.

______________

When i finally made it to school i walked around looking for Eren for a bit.

"Where could he be?" i thought, walking towards his locker.
