you don't know what possessed you to get into armin's car.
you were supposed to be upset with him, show him what he was missing. but something about him wanting you made you feel something different.
connie shook his head and shrugged when you told him you were leaving with armin. annie rolled her eyes.
"i just want to make sure he's okay." you said. but they both knew it was a lie.
you and armin had left the party earlier, it was only 1:30 am by the time you left. usually, you would be at a party until 4.
the car ride with him was mostly silent, besides from the little comments he made about what happened.
all the lights were off when you guys arrived at his house, so eren and jean were still at the party. it was just you and armin.
he flicked the light on and went straight for his room without saying anything.
of course, you didn't follow him. instead you stood awkwardly by the counter, looking down at the ground.
armin came back out of his room and peeked around the corner. "are you coming?"
"oh, yeah."
you walked into armin's room for the first time in forever, looking around.
it was neat like always, and smelled nice.
"i'm going to shower. you can wait here. there's snacks in the kitchen if you get hungry." he said, giving you a quick smile before going in to the bathroom.
you were left in his room.
you sat on his bed, and pulled out your phone to text connie.
y/n: at armin's house. he's in the shower right now
connie: so unlike you to do this
y/n: just want to make sure he's okay.
connie: sure..
you sighed, putting your phone down.
really, what were you thinking?
you sat on the edge of armin's bed for about another 15 minutes, thinking.
the bathroom door opened, and armin came out with a towel around his neck and just sweatpants on.
"you want something to change into?" armin asked, handing you a folded up pair of shorts and a t-shirt.
"really? you don't have to." you said.
"no it's okay, i want you to be comfortable if you're going to be sleeping here."
you took the clothes and went into the bathroom to change, saying a quick thank you before closing the door.
the mirror was still foggy from armin showering. you wiped it with your hand, looking at your reflection. you still looked like how you did when you left for the party.
you splashed water on your face and cleaned up a little, changing into clothes armin gave you.
when you came out of the bathroom, armin was sitting on the bed looking at the bandages on his hands. he looked up at you, motioning towards the spot next to him. "sit."
"can we lay down instead? i'm tired." you asked, walking over to his bed.
armin immediately moved over and made space for you, laying on his back. he had one arm behind his head and stared up at the ceiling.
something was missing.
"hey, y/n?"
"hm?"
"can you press the first button on that projector next to you?"
you reached over and pressed it, and immediately lit up. it was a galaxy ,the light was blue, and made it look like stars and galaxy clouds were floating across on the ceiling.
you looked up immediately, the projection catching you by surprise. it was a beautiful thing, even thought it was fake. "this is so cool armin!"
"thank you, i got it a long time ago as a gift. i use it every night."
you laid down besides armin, not taking your eyes off the ceiling.
he smiled to himself. everything was perfect. you were laying next to him, both of you looking up to gaze at the projected stars. if it was anyone else, armin wouldn't have felt like this.
he felt like his heart was about to pound out of his chest, but in a good way. his face went hot. that 'character' he usually puts on with others and in public was completely gone with you.
he could be himself.
armin genuinely felt things for you.
"p/n's just like poison."
maybe it was true a little bit.
but he still liked you.
armin's hand made it's way to yours, holding it tightly.
you looked at him, and he looked at you.
he turned to his side, one hand holding yours and the other on your face.
"i want you and only you, y/n. everything floch showed you wasn't what it seemed. i was tutoring the girl, i'll even show you our messages." armin gripped your hand tighter.
the look in his eyes seemed genuine, it even seemed like he was getting teary.
"armin, i missed you too. but, i don't know if i can trust you all the way again." you said. it was true, you were conflicted.
"that's fine! i'll show you that you can trust me gradually. anything you want to see, remember?" he did not look away from you once.
you nodded. the way he was looking at you made you want him so bad. "i just want you, armin."
he smiled as you moved closer towards him, your free hand on his face.
your eyes flickered between his eyes and lips, the lips you missed kissing.
armin must've noticed this because kissed you, his hand on the back of your head. his other still holding yours.
for the first time in a while, armin felt safe. in your hold, your lips against his.
everything that bubbled inside you felt like it left once armin kissed you.
to you both, it was like you were finally home.
"i missed you so much," armin said, pulling away. he wanted more. he kissed you again, his hands starting to move all over your body. from your waist, to your legs.
home.
that's what armin was like.
"how much did you miss me?" you asked, even though he just said he missed you a lot.
"want me to show you?" ***
this is what the star projector thing is supposed to look like btw
