ten - "I think you're perfect"

You could feel the music pulsing through your body with every beat as you dance your worries away. With a cup in one hand, you felt around your body with the other, closing your eyes and becoming one with the beat. Sounds peaceful, huh? It was until you remembered why you were here.

After your encounter with Armin and Eren, you were left feeling the embarrassment of reality. Maybe you were that person people gossip about. The girl who only has time to party, drink, and have sex. The girl who doesn't care about anything but her next body or maybe her next white claw.

So what did you do with this realization? You embraced it. You stumbled into a party that one of your many connections had informed you about. A party you skipped, so you could study with Armin. Here you were drinking and dancing without a care in the world. Your head spun as you swayed your hips and sang along to the song that was playing. You danced for what seemed like hours with random people you probably weren't going to remember in the morning. But hey, who cares? Because you're her, the girl who doesn't.

"My feet... they hurt," you shouted to Porco, who was the guy who invited you here, and who was dancing next to you with his girlfriend pieck.

"Porco go show her to your room, so she can sit down, ill go get some more drinks and meet you there yeah?" pieck suggested, as she tucked in a piece of hair that fell out from her ponytail.

"Yes, ma'am." Porco saluted like a soldier. pieck walked off to who knows where, and Porco grabbed your arm to drag you to some room who knows where. Honestly, you were too drunk to care about anything, but your cramping feet.

You didn't know Porco that well, so you guys kind of just sat in silence in his room for an awkward amount of time. Silence as in you drunkenly babbling and him nodding and saying "uh-huh" every once in a while.

"I'm going to go fine pieck, don't move," he told you, you hummed and pulled out your phone sitting there just staring at Armin's contact picture, contemplating deleting his number. Maybe that would just be better for the both of you, all of this is just complicating your lives, and you sure as hell didn't need that right now. You just wanted to not fail college, be successful, get out of this place, and finally live the life you want. But you also want Armin, he's in the life you want... so you started to type.

Sighing to yourself like you achieved something, you set down your phone and fell back onto the bed, just staring at the ceiling. You started to doze off after a bit, and even though you were drunk, you didn't like the sound of falling asleep at a party while drunk. So you stood up and headed off into the crowd again, pushing through everyone, saying drunken hellos to people you knew.

As soon as you reached the porch, you felt like you could breathe again. You put your head down on the porch railing and closed your eyes, promising yourself you wouldn't doze off, and you were just "resting your eyes."

"Y/n?" a familiar voice softly uttered, you couldn't bother to lift your head, still intent on "resting your eyes."

"Y/n" the voice called out again, then you felt a firm hand on your shoulder.

"What do you want, I'm resting my eyes," you finally decided to look up at the person, it was Armin of course. "What are you doing here, Armin," you asked with a sigh and placed your hand On your forehead.

"I'm here to bring you home, c'mon," he said, grabbing your hand. You couldn't even protest, you felt way too light-headed to even think.

"Okay," you replied. Without a fight, you let him help you into his nice car, you let him buckle you in, and you let him place his jacket over you as a blanket. As he pulled off you finally got to continue "resting your eyes" so you laid your head on the door of the car and dozed off.

"Stay here, I'll grab you some water" the blonde whispered as he sat you on his bed. You hummed as an agreement and laid down on the bed to make yourself comfy because frankly, drunk, you didn't care if this wasn't your bed or not. The cold white sheets swallow you whole, his apartment smelled exactly like him. His scent was just so clean and welcoming that you felt as if you were going to doze off again.

You didn't even realize Armin came back until he spoke, "drink up." he said as he handed you a glass of water.

"You know, you're kind of bossy now that I think about it," you slurred as you took a sip.

"Oh really?" he chuckled.

"Yup! You're all like 'aww y/n let me help you not fail life' and then you're like 'y/n- y/n- I want to fuck!' and then you're like 'but just because I want to fuck doesn't mean I'm going to stand up for you in front of my friends'" you continued to ramble nonsense to him, and he just stood there and listened.

"And here you go again just listening to me, stop observing and listening to everything! It makes me mad, y'know you have a voice too, you can speak up." you started to raise your voice. Armin didn't know how to react, he knew you were drunk and weren't paying attention to what you were saying, but he also knew you were right. All he does is observe other people's lives, maybe he needs to stop minding his business.

"I'm sorry y/n, I know I should've said something to him. It won't happen again," he tried his best to assure you, but you both knew that there was a possibility of this being untruthful.

"Yeah, well you said that last time," and then there was silence. You were right, he knew it and you knew it. You've been in this situation before and once again he was the one apologizing, promising he would make it up to you.

"Do you think I'm a whore?" your voice cracked.

"No, no, no, of course not, eren is out of his mind and jealous and just trying to cause a scene. I promise everything he said is bullshit," and then there was a pause, a moment of silence. "I think you're perfect, and- and whatever flaws think you have are nonexistent to me. And- and I'm so glad I finally stopped being a pussy and got to experience what I have with you." Armin looked down at you, finally gathering the courage to look you in the eyes. But, of course, your eyes were closed, and you had fallen asleep.
