enchanted: chapter three
" you should get some sleep. " armin mumbles, crouching beside the bed as y/n stares at the ceiling, " please, y/n? "
" i will. " y/n mumbles, letting out a shaky sigh as she curls up in her blanket, " don't leave until i fall asleep, please. "
" i won't. " armin smiles, patting her head. y/n scoffs softly, a small smile on her lips as she closes her eyes. " i'm older than you. stop treating me like a child, armin. "
" but you're cuter than me. " armin teases back, " and your age depends on how cute you are. and since you're cuter than me, you're younger than me. "
" that's the dumbest thing i've heard from your smartmouth. " she chuckles, letting out a soft sigh as she feels the numbness her heart spreads through out her body.
armin beams, " at least you smiled. "
y/n just smiles wider, trying to relax as armin plays with her hair. " thank you for saving me, armin. "
" always, best friend. "
she shoots him a tired grin, the exhaustion finally catching up on her and she let much needed sleep consume her.
armin sits there for another hour even though she has fallen asleep long ago. he decides to leave when it's almost sundown, the dinner would be ready soon.
he would meet mikasa and eren, ask mikasa if they should wake y/n up for dinner or save her some to eat after she wakes up....
" oh. "
" is y/n here, arlert? "
armin nods, stepping aside as levi brushed past him. he sighs, stepping out and closing the door behind himself.
what a complicated mess was the fate playing on his friend? he just wished y/n would be happy but as long as this went on, he just knew she'll keep hurting.
and he hates that.
---
petra had been blissfully ignorant. until now. she should've ignored it like always. but her mind keeps replaying the events from earlier.
she hadn't meant to, no matter how much she dislikes y/n, pushing her to her almost death wasn't petra's intention.
and the worst part of it was the shock and pain she had seen in y/n's gaze as she fell, when levi hadn't gone for her.
normally, petra would show it off, but she was tired of shoving her success in the face of someone who was genuinely hurting.
so she finally managed to make levi hers, she felt guilty knowing she was hurting y/n a lot by doing these things on purpose.
