"Arugh!!" Armin yelped when he slipped and almost hit his head onto the wooden floor, being salvaged by the taller boy who was holding his hand by the moment, bringing him back up. Walking around all wet was definitely not a good idea, he thought and giggled.

Eren opened the bedrooms' door, entering carefully and suddenly feeling the carpet under his bare feet. It wasn't far as much slippery, but it felt strange and it kind of prickled. The next thing he noticed was that there wasn't anybody else inside.

He hurried to throw his things on the bed and when he looked back at his shivering boyfriend, a realization came to his mind. "Oh my god, you're going to freeze."

A few feet away from him, with his hands embracing himself stood Armin, who tried his best to hide the way he trembled, without much luck. He shook his head. "I'm fine, really!"

"No.." Eren approached him slowly with concern, completely forgetting about everything else. "You should at least take a shower to warm up."

The blonde lifted his gaze up to meet his eyes, feeling how his heart had started to melt. How was he able to make him warm up so easily? "Maybe.." He stuttered, gulping with difficulty. "Maybe we should both take a shower." By the time this sentence left his lips, his face was feeling far from cold already.

Eren opened his mouth to speak, being the only one left to keep the eye contact as Armin had already looked away. Even so, he slightly nodded. "Yeah.. Sure." He hoped he got it the right way.

"Yeah.." The other boy answers with a thin voice. "Have you got the stuff?"

Still a little bit aback, Eren silently and still a little bit ashamed nodded. Yes, he had predicted such thing might happen, but at the same time he didn't expect it to. Suddenly the whole idea of bringing them with him didn't sound as stupid as it did before.

In the bathroom, Armin stood on the edge of the bathtub in the corner. He stared at his feet, feeling his heart pounding in his ears like never before. Well actually, it had. But the reason was always Eren. Just like a few moments before, when he took out the products out of his backpack, something he had brought and carried since the beginning. For some reason it made his heart go just as crazy, and it still went.

He slowly lifted up his eyes, looking at the second figure in the not so big room. Eren was still adjusting the water, seemingly trying to make it perfect down to the closest degree. As they were going to actually shower.

"You.." Eren started, not meaning for his voice to sound so hoarse. Armin surely noticed, just like the way he didn't dare to look at him, feeling a little bit better that he wasn't the only one nervous. "Are you going to take your clothes off?'

Straightening his back suddenly, Armin felt his cheeks warm up down to his ears. "S-sure!" He tried his best to not sound surprised, after all what were they here for? But his body was rating him out enough. Eren didn't turn his head, but his eyes still found his way to Armin's body.

He gripped his fingers around the edges of his t-shirt, having a second of uncertainty before remembering that Eren was somebody he could trust unconditionally and lifting it up. The same thing he did with his pants, before lifting his head up to see Eren had walked closer to him.

He slowly clenched down, getting to the height of his face. "You're beautiful.." He whispered, before going in for a kiss, a sloppy and nervous one, but it was definitely doing things to them.
