"P-Petra!" Eren said, sounding shocked.
"Eren! I'm here if you need me, alright?" Petra sobbed.
Eren smiled a genuine smile.
"Thanks Petra." He said
"How did you find out though? You must've known before Armin said it." Eren asked.
Petra let go of Eren and pointed at (Name).
"Miss Arlert Phantomhive over there." Petra said with a wink, making Eren laugh.
"You ship them too?" He asked.
Petra nodded eagerly.
"Oh be quiet Miss Jaeger Trancy!" (Name) said, her face completely red. She had never been shipped before. Also, (Name) had always been in the Friend zone.
Petra acted hurt and turned around.
Eren and Armin laughed.
They then saw Mr Ackerman come walking. He walked up to Eren.
"Eren. After club hours, come with me."
Eren nodded and Mr Ackerman unlocked Room 302. The four students walked into the room.
"Feel free to watch anime today." Mr Ackerman said, and left the room.
Eren got to choose what anime they watched. And in courtesy of Petra, he chose Kuroshitsuji instead of Corpse Party.
"CIEL IS SO HOT, GOD!" (Name) exclaimed. Petra rolled her eyes.
"Can we watch season 2? My Alois is there." Petra said.
Eren laughed.
"Alright."
~Club Hours Over~
"Phew! That was awesome!!" Petra said happily
"We should do this again." Armin said and Eren nodded.
"I gotta go see Mr Ackerman. See ya later, Armin, Miss Arlert Phantomhive, Miss Jaeger Trancy." He said.
Petra's smile turned into a smirk. "Hey Eren, I'll tag along." She said. Eren's eyes widened when he realized her plan. He smirked as well.
"Of course Petra, let's go." Eren said, giving his girlfriend a peck on the cheek, leaving (Name) and Armin completely clueless about what had just happened.
After Eren and Petra had left, the room was filled with an awkward silence.
"So... Yeah, umm..." (Name) had no idea what to say.
"Well I... I need to go home, so.. D-Do you want to walk together?" Armin asked, stuttering a bit. (Name) looked at him and smiled.
"I'd love to!"
Armin's nervous face turned into a bright smile.
So the two grabbed their bags and left the classroom.
"Armin how come I never see you around?" (Name) asked.
Armin scratched the back of his head.
"I'm almost always in the library..
And my presence isn't very noticeable..." He replies.
(Name) looks at him, shocked.
"Yes it is. How could anyone not notice you? You being so cute and funny. You're so likeable." (Name) said, making Armin blush happily.
"You think so?" He asked and (Name) nodded.
"Uhh hey um.. Armin, maybe this sounds weird, but c-ould I have your p-phone n-number maybe?" (Name) asked, stuttering and blushing. She surprised herself. She never stuttered.
~To Eren and Petra hiding in the bushes~
"Good job (Nickname)!" Petra muttered.
"C'mon Armin!" Eren whispered.
They both knew it was wrong to spy on their friends, but they just wanted to help. Maybe.
"No it doesn't sound weird at all.." Armin said, looking at his feet. He held up his phone, and (Name) quickly registered his number in her phone.
"Thanks Armin!" (Name) said, smiling.
"No problem. I should get going now though." Armin said, and waved goodbye to his 'friend'.
Yes, Armin had a crush on (Name), one he hoped wasn't to obvious. However, he was a bit scared. What if (Name) only thought of him as a friend, or as a brother? He had never had a crush before, but Eren had.
And he always got rejected. So Armin soon learned the saying, 'It's called a crush because they crush your heart'.
That's why he rarely got close to girls, because he didn't want to risk getting a crush on someone and then getting his heart broken. Armin was positive that nobody could see him as more than a friend.
Mikasa, of course, was an exception. They had been friends for so long, he was positive he wouldn't fall in love with her.
Besides, she 'loved' Eren.
Their relationship was a bit complicated.
Well, (Name) had his number now, so Armin was happy.
When Armin came home he had problems with his homework.
And Armin Arlert never, never, had problem with his homework. He knew why though. He couldn't get (Name) out of his head. Armin laid down on his bed, closing his eyes.
"Why... Why do you appear in my head all the time, (Name)?" Armin asked himself. Sighing, he sat up and went into the small kitchen. Nobody was there. Of course nobody was there, Armin lived alone. His parents had died long ago, and his grandfather was researching something in a far off land. That's how Armin survived. His grandfather sent him money every month.
Armin felt lonely. He didn't feel like calling Eren, and not Mikasa. He didn't have (Name)'s or Petra's number, so that wasn't an option. The phone buzzing snapped him out of his thoughts. The caller was not somebody he knew.
"Hello, this is Armin." He said.
"Hey Armin! It's (Name)." (Name) said. Armin felt his heart skip a beat.
"Oh, hey (Name), what's up?"
"Not much, I'm just bored. Petra is out with Eren, and Christa is training ballet. You were the next person to cross my mind."
Armin felt proud and happy when he heard those words.
"Oh.. Yeah I'm bored too. I'm having problems with my homework."
"What's wrong? Something must be up if you have problems with your homework."
Armin was in panic. He couldn't tell (Name) what the problem was.
"Well..." Armin started, gulping.
"I think I have a crush."
