You followed after Armin as he was arrested before Eren suddenly pulled you by your shoulder. "What the fuck is going on y/n? Huh?!" You sighed. "Look I don't know, okay? We were upstairs talking and then the police came out of nowhere." You said in a shaky voice.

"What were you guys talking about?" Eren asked you in an aggressive tone. "How Reiner sent people to kill his parents and that's why he killed him." You whispered. "That's not true..." Eren said to you with a straight face, anger left his look and now worry overcame his entire body.

"What the fuck are you talking about Eren!?" You pushed him away from you aggressively. "Armin parents got into a car accident. He hadn't even met or known of Reiner until Zeke had introduced them." Eren said taking a step towards you. "Y/n are you serious that he told you that?" Eren asked in an even more worried tone than before.

"Yes, he said he didn't regret killing him at all." You said, still whispering towards him. "Y/n, he fucking lied. He killed Reiner beca-" Eren was interrupted by Zeke.

"Because he knew that if Reiner hadn't been delt with, he would've won the campaign." Zeke said. "I don't understand?" You said irritated. "Reiner was winning the campaign, I had no shot in winning. Since I had been so busy, I was going to send Armin back with some of his other family. In retaliation, he killed Reiner so I could win and make time for him."

So many thoughts crossed your mind. How could he do something like this? Something so fucking petty? Why would he lie to you about it?

You couldn't believe him. After all these months of you two being close, of you opening yourself up to him. You couldn't believe you made yourself vulnerable to him, to anyone. Especially after what happened with your dad.

You stood in the middle of the ballroom not knowing how to react. "Y/n?" Eren stood before me calling put for me.

"I-I'm going home, goodnight." You said in a hurry quickly wiping the tears that began to form in the corner of your eyes. You walked out of the ballroom and located your dad.

"Y/n?"

You run to your dad and hug him. Even though he hurt you, even though he made your life so much harder than it needed, he was the last person you had.

"Let's go home princess," he kissed your forehead as you cried into his shirt, hugging him tightly as he rubbed your back.

You look over and see Eren and Zeke rushing to the car, you assumed it was to get Armin from the police. Your dad walked you to his car as you sat down rubbing your eyes.

"I'm sorry y/n, I really am. I should've protected you from all of this, I am so sorry," your dad looked at you. This was the first time you ever saw a genuine look in his eyes.

"I don't want to think about it dad, I just want to go home." Your dad nodded in understanding and started the car.

You got home and laid down, crying into your pillow as your phone buzzed with constant texts and calls from Eren, Zeke, Mikasa, and Sasha.

But then you realized you needed to go back to Zeke's house to get your stuff. You make your way down stairs and examined everything to your dad as he agreed to take you to Zeke's house the next morning to get your stuff.

You retreated back to your room, pulling the cover over your head and breathing deeply as you thought about everything. Armin and Eren were the people closest to you right now and they lied, they knew they were and they didn't tell you the truth until it was too late.

You were angry, but understanding in a way. Whenever you met people you wouldn't tell them everything because you were scared they would judge you bit who were they to do that? So from a personal point of view you could understand, but it still hurts especially when you were so open with them.

You closed your eyes thinking of all the good times. The times where you guys watched movies, smoking weed, stayed up late, and went to class together. You could feel yourself drifting off into these thoughts, falling into a peaceful sleep.

-the next morning-
You woke up in your pajamas, your eyes puffy from crying all night long. Your dad had been working on the case all night long and was tired, but still wanted you to get your things.

You drive to the Yeager residence and parked in the driveway.

You turned off the car as you cleared your throat. "Dad, you need to stay in here, I'll be back soon."

"What?! I'm not letting you go in there alone!" You took your seat belt off as you wiped your face. "Dad, I'll be fine. I need to get my stuff and talk to them, give me an hour tops, okay?"

You get out of the car and knock on the front door. Almost immediately, Eren answers he looks you up and down with a regular expression. His eyes are dark and his hair is messy, he looked tired as ever but who wasn't from this situation.

"Hi, Eren," You spoke softly as he hugged you. "I'm sorry about all of this, " he hugged you tightly, his arms wrapped around your waist as you smiled, hugging him back.

"Zeke wants to speak to you, Armin does too," Eren said looking nervous as he walked you inside. "Armin?" You looked confused as you walked to the dining room table.

There you see Zeke and Armin. All you could think about was how he was out? You thought he was arrested? How were they able to get him out this quickly?

"Y/n, hello," Zeke spoke formally. "Hi," you sat down looking at Armin as he looked down, his head was dropped with shame.

"First, we just want to say that we apologize." Zeke started as Eren sat down next to me. "We shouldn't have put you in this situation without you knowing anything and that was ill of us to do. Now, Armin has something to say," you sat and kept your composure, trying your hardest not to fold under pressure.

What you wanted to do was yell at Armin, and tell him about how wrong it was for him to lie to you. And tell him how much you liked him, and how much of a betrayal this was. But you know you couldn't, not right now at least.

"I-I didn't mean to hurt you. I know I should've been honest with you, and I know that I should've told you but I like you too much and I didn't want your view of me to change because of something I did in the past. I'm sorry y/n," He said looking you in the eye the entire time before putting his head back down.

"May I speak?" You asked as Zeke nodded his head. "Armin, look me in my eyes while I speak to you," you said in a demanding tone that made him look up quickly. You could see tears forming in those light blue eyes as he gulped silently.

"You lied to me, and betrayed me. Usually, I let shit like that go or I just look away from it because I believe that I'm better than giving my attention to that. But you really did hurt me, you brought me close to you and then I found this out and now I feel like everything was a lie."

Tears fell down Armin's face as you spoke. "But for some reason, I forgive you. For some fucked up reason I do," you said as you felt your eyes begin to swell with tears. "I don't like the fact that you hurt me, but you were one of the few people I felt that I could he real with, and that's rare for me. I love all of you, and I love the fact that you all accepted me, but this was so foul," you spoke in a calmer tone, your anger going away.

"I still want to talk to you but I don't know if it'll ever be the same again, and I'm scared of that. I lied when I said I was scared of you, I'm only scared of what you can do. So I accept your apology," you stood up and walked over to Armin as he looked up at you from his seat.

You put your finger under his chin as you lifted his face up, wiping away his tears.

He looked at you with those same eyes that you had seen on him before. Those blue eyes that resembled the ocean. You smiled as you leaned in and pressed your lips against his soft pink ones.

He grabbed your face as you kissed passionately. You pulled away as you ran your fingers through his hair. Giving him one last good look.

"Good bye Armin."
