-Third person pov-
After handling the situation with Armin and clearing things up in the bathroom, you and him decided to go and dance, that was until Eren got drunk and started to make a fool out of you. You and Armin quickly put Eren in the car and had you drive back home so you could all be saved of the embarrassment.

"What's up Zeke, still working?" You asked as you entered the door of the house followed by the other two boys. Zeke was at the dining table, doing work for his company, just like your own dad would be.

"Yeah, this case going on right now has really taken a toll on sales. But it's going to be taken care of soon enough." He smiled up at you, almost in a reassuring way to make you feel better about the case you knew your dad was involved in.

You smiled back as you went into the kitchen to get a glass of water when Zeke suddenly called for Armin.

You drank your water over the sink in the kitchen as you quietly observed Armin walk slowly towards Zeke, looking anxious. You watched as Zeke whispered to Armin about whatever they obviously didn't want you to know about.

You poured the rest of the water down the drain and made your way upstairs, but instead of just going away, you faked it.

You ran up the stairs and went to you door and closed it, still standing in the hallway. You stood by the door of your room, thank god it was right next to the stairs.

You did the one thing you promised you wouldn't do as a black person, and that was being nosey. You knew that if you did this, more than likely you would hear something that you weren't supposed to, or didn't want to. But you were willing to take that chance.

Because whatever it was, it was serious, and it had been an issue since you first met Armin.

"I don't know, okay. I don't think anyone else knows." You overhear Armin say in a quiet yell.

"Well, I need you to know for sure before I do anything because this needs to be handled quickly, Armin." Zeke's voice said, sounding irritated.

"I'm going to try, okay? I'm trying my hardest, and so far it doesn't seem to bad, it's just me, you and Eren. Y/n doesn't even know." Armin defended in a quiet yell.

"Good, keep it that way." You heard Zeke say through gritted teeth. You heard a chair move, assuming it was Zeke exiting his seat.

"The Gala is this Friday. Expect people to come and ask you questions, including the press. No matter what, do not crack. I don't have time for another accident." Zeke said in a deep, low tone, enough to make anyone snap in shape.

"Do you understand Armin?" Zeke said in a deep tone, sending tiny shivers down your spine.

"I understand." Armin responded quietly. You felt bad, you didn't even know what was happening, but it seemed to be out of Armin's control. You quickly snapped out of your thoughts as you heard footsteps and movement downstairs.

You quickly went into your room, quietly entering, and proceeding to get ready for your lecture the next day.

-The next day in class-
You ran up the stairs of the lecture Hall and took a seat next to Mikasa. You were running late because you overslept, with everything that happened the night before you found it hard to sleep, so many thoughts ran through your head causing you to fall asleep later.

"My apologies Professor Smith, I was running late because is traffic." You explained. "It's all right, we barely started." He smiled. You enjoy Erwins class, he was a nice and chill teacher.

About 10 minutes into the lecture you remember the conversation that went on between Armin and Zeke and grew more confused on what they were talking about. Even though you were not a nosey person, something about this whole thing was rubbing you the wrong way.
