My Perfect High School Life(Armin x Reader)

6: Ackermans

After the longest Math lesson of their lives, (Name) and Christa stumbled out of Room 106 and headed for the Cafeteria.
"Mr Ackerman sure is scary!" Christa said and (Name) nodded.
"Let's go meet up with Petra." (Name) said, grabbing her empty stomach.

"Heeey you guys! (Nickname)! Chrissy!" Petra shouted, trying to catch up to (Name) and Christa.
"It sounds like someone is calling our names (Name)." A tired and hungry Christa said.
"It sure does Christa.." A famished (Name) said.
"You guys! Waaaait!" Petra shouted. The two tired girls turned around and looked at Petra.
"Oh, hi Petrie..." Christa said.
"What happened to you two?" Petra asked, sounding very worried.
"Two words-" Christa started.
"-Mr Ackerman." (Name) finished.
Petra gasped in shock.
"You're kidding! Oh I pity you two, I pity you!" Petra cried out.
(Name) and Christa looked at each other.
"Is he that bad?" They both exclaimed. Petra nodded.
"I feel sorry for Mikasa." Petra said, pushing her hips to the side. "Huh?" Christa said. Petra leaned in closer, and started whispering. "Mikasa Ackerman, she's in my class. Mr Ackerman is her uncle. He adopted her after her parents were murdered."
Christa gasped.
"Poor Mikasa has never been the same since." Petra said sadly.
(Name) looked at her, confused.
"You knew her before?" She asked. Petra nodded.
"We went to Kindergarten together." Petra explained.
"She used to be so sweet and caring. Now she's emotionally distant and rarely talks..." Petra mumbled. Christa frowned.
"However, her parents knew Eren's parents, so they have been friends since they were toddlers. And through Eren she met Armin, so the three have been some sort of gang for very long. But then her parents died and she distanced herself from them." Petra explained.
Christa sat picking at her food.
"You should eat something. We need to leave soon." Petra said. Christa nodded quickly and stuffed food into her mouth.
~Back in Class~
"Awrighty. Hmm..... Eren! Come up here and present your family tree." Hanji said. Eren stood up proudly and carried his paper to the front of the class.
"Okay so this here is my mom, Carla." Eren said pointing at the box that had his mother's name in it. "And this," He pointed at the box that had his father's name. "Is my dad, Grisha. Both of them are still alive." Eren said happily. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Hanji walked to the door and opened it. A police officer was standing there.
"I'm looking for Eren Jaeger." He said. Everyone looked at Eren, who was looking very confused.
"Come with me." The officer said, and he left the room, together with Eren. The once quiet classroom was now filled with chatter. The door opened after a few minutes. Eren came inside. He was pale, and he had cried.
Hanji ran up to him and gave him a hug.
"Eren. What happened?" She asked. Eren looked at his teacher.
"My mother. She's dead. My father killed her and fled." He said, trying not to cry. Everyone gasped loudly. Hanji looked serious.
"Everyone, class is over. All of you head to your after school clubs and wait. I need to talk to the principal." She said, leaving the class shocked and in panic.
Eren quickly escaped the classroom, not wanting anyone's sympathies. (Name) headed to Room 109, where Petra was having Religion.
(Name) picked up her phone, and started writing a message to Petra.
(Name):[Petra. Emergency.]
*bzzzz bzzzz*
Petra Trancy:[Whaaaa]
(Name):[Eren.]
*bzzz bzzz*
Petra Trancy:[I'm coming.]
(Name) put her phone back in her pocket and waited patiently.
However after only a few minutes, the door opened and Petra came out.
At first Petra brought a finger to her lips, before gesturing for (Name) to follow her.
After walking for a bit, they reached the Library.
"What is it with Eren?" Petra asked. (Name) tried swallowing the lump in her throat.
"His mom was killed. By his father." (Name) said grimly.
Petra gasped, covering her mouth with her hands.
"Where is he now?" She asked.
"Well... He should be outside 302." (Name) replies carefully, as if she was thinking through every word she said.
Petra turned around and started walking but stopped when she saw a tuff of blonde hair.
"Armin?" She whispered.
"(Name). Come, follow me!" Petra said, following Armin. (Name) ran after Petra.
After running for a while, they saw Armin approach Eren.
"Who's there?" Eren asked aggressively. Yet Armin didn't back off.
-He's brave...- (Name) thought.
"It's Armin." Armin said. Eren looked up.
"Oh... Hey Armin..." Eren mumbled. Armin sat down beside his best friend.
(Name) and Petra were spying on them from behind the lockers.
"Armin? You know, when your parents died, what did you do? How were you secure?" Eren asked shakily. Armin looked at Eren.
"I wasn't secure. I was just hiding it. I didn't want you to have to worry, Eren.
The things I did were stupid. I cried alone. I now realize that I should've talked to you and Mikasa about it. Trust me, Eren. Talk to me." Armin said, his voice soft and gentle.
-He's so kindhearted...- (Name) thought. She also thought that he was quite good looking. Something she'd never thought about before. Her face was slightly red, and while (Name) didn't notice, Petra certainly did.
"Armin..." Eren whispered, hugging his closest and most trusted friend.
"So what now? Will you move in with Mikasa and Mr Ackerman?" Armin asked.
"I dunno... Either that or maybe I could live on my own..." Eren said.
Armin shook his head.
"I don't think that's a good idea. I'm sure Miss Zoë has talked to Mr Ackerman about it." He said.
Eren nodded softly.
"Mr Ackerman will come any minute. I'm sure you'll feel better when you get to talk about some anime." Armin said, and smiled. He then looked at the lockers.
"(Name), Petra, you can come out." Armin said. Eren looked at him and then at the lockers.
Petra rushed out and hugged him tightly.
"Oh Eren..." She whispered.
