If you feel like you've read this chapter before it's because I posted it months ago but I didn't like it so I changed the plot of it a tiny bit, enjoy!

Finally waking up from my slumber, I tug on the duvet, wondering why I had so little covering me. No wonder I felt so cold.

Ruffling of the duvet filled my ears until something else did."Stoppppp~" I hear a male voice groan from beside me in a rasped tone.

I suddenly turn around, in shock to find out I had company in bed that wasn't Mikasa. What was Armin doing in my bed?!

I scooch up, letting my back hit the headboard, giving my brain time to regenerate.

Armin, in my bed, hogging my sheets-
Hold on a second.
I look down and notice these sheets were blue.
Mine were plain white.
I look around until it finally sinks in.
I was sleeping in Armin's bed because I got kicked out.

So it wasn't all just a dream? This really happened to me, huh?

"Get back to sleeeeeep!" Armin whines as I feel a pair of arms grab me and pull me back into the sheets.

I stay silent for a while, trying to take everything in, it was all too much to process. I groan at the fact that it was true that I'd just lost my so called'best friend'.

"Y/N, I know you're stressing, but just sleep! Please! I wanna keep hugging you!!" he whines as he hugs me even tighter.

"Don't you have work today?" I ask as I scoot my head closer to his so that they touch.

"I called in sick earlier in the morning. I wanna spend time with you today."

"You really didn't have to Armin..." I quietly speak as I feel a heat rush to my cheeks. Thankfully his eyes were still closed so he couldn't see. The thought of someone calling in sick just to spend time with me was something that I thought was only possible in romance novels. I must be dreaming, right?

"I wanted to. Plus– there's this thing that's been on my mind lately that I think is only right to tell you..." he trails off as he removes his arms from my figure. He gets up from lying down, and now he's sitting with both his legs up and his back rested against the headboard.

"What is it?" I question, wondering what his next words would be.

"I hope you don't mind me... uh venting to you..." he asks as he looks at me with a genuine face, his eyes looking saddened a bit. His lips slightly curved downwards, and his eyebrows were visibly furrowed.

"Of course, you can tell me anything, Armin. I'd always be there for you no matter what!" I reassure as I get up from lying down and copy the position he's in. I then give him small rubs on the shoulder to make him feel more comfortable to proceed.

He begins to sob before words could even get the chance to leave his mouth. He then pulls me into a tight hug. I place my hands over his back and give it small rubs. Something that my parents used to do for me when I was younger to calm me down. "Well- I don't even know where to start!"

"Take your time," I whisper.

"Well it's just that– it's about my mum... fuck, speaking about it makes me upset." He sniffles into the hoodie I was wearing. The same one that he gave me last night.

"What happened with her?"

"Well– uh, remember that day when I didn't show up to school. The day that I was so upset you had to make breakfast for me..."
