"ERENNN STOP MAKING OUT WITH LEVI AND GET YOUR BUTT OUT HERE WE HAVE SHIT TO DO!" I hear Armin's voice shatter the intimate make out that was currently taking place in the bathroom.
"How the fuck does he know" I mutter to myself.
"Because you're very loud" Levi says smirking before walking out.
"Hey! I'm not that loud!"
"You are" both Armin and Levi say both sitting on the couch.

"Now come on, we have to go shopping"
Levi cocks an eyebrow "Shopping? For what?"
"Oh I signed Eren and myself up for an internship" Armin says cheerily
"Where?"
"Can't tell you or Eren, it would ruin the fun"
"Tch...well have fun," he says getting up and heading towards the door "Coconut I don't know when I'll next see you so yea, and bright eyes I'm gonna head home and get ready for work" he kisses me quickly before giving a brief wave then promptly leaving my apartment.

"Go get your wallet"
"Fine, but you're driving"
"Last time I checked it was your turn"
"Armin"
"Okay, okay I'll drive"
"Damn right you will"

We finally arrive at the mall and Armin drags me into a fancy looking store.
"Jesus Armin, have you seen the prices?"
"Don't complain I saw you take that $100 bill Levi left for you"
"...."
"Now, lets go shirt shopping!"
"Armin no"
"Armin yes"
"You're a devil"
"Thanks babe" he winks walking towards a rack of shirts.
Sighing loudly I make my way over to another rack.

"Armin pink is not my colour"
"Get out here and let me see and it's not pink, it's salmon"
"Pink" I grumble stepping out of the changing room.
"Salmon is not your colour, go for the crimson or the blue it brings out your eyes"
"I'm gonna get the blue"
"Good...so I'm thinking black tie"
"Tie?!"
"Well yea, you're already wearing black skinny jeans so a tie is kind of important" he says moving to the tie section choosing a black one.

Standing in the checkout line I notice that Armin has fallen silent.
"What's wrong"
"Huh? Oh uh nothing's wrong" he says smiling.
"You're my best friend, I know you"
"I'm just really nervous, it's a really good internship. I don't want to screw it up"
"Bestie, you are going to take over the world because of how smart you are. It would be stupid if you didn't get the internship"
"Thanks"

He plonks his shirt on the checkout before proceeding to pay and move aside for me.
Placing my tie and shirt I look up and smile at the cashier as she offers a "Hi, how are you?"
"Good, you?"
"I'm fine...recently lost my boyfriend so..." She shrugs smiling at me.
I get a bit uncomfortable "That sucks"
"Yea it does....you're pretty cute"
"Huh?"
"Yea you'd totally be a great boyfriend"
Oh I see
"Yea my boyfriend thinks so too"
She pales. Yea that's right fucking realise.
"Well I'm sure I could be just as good, if you want to have a little fun when my shift ends"

"No I don't think so, unless you're hiding a penis beneath those clothes but even then I'm not a cheater and my boyfriend is ten times better than you could ever be so why don't you do your fricken job and let me pay for my goddamn fancy shirt and tie!"

A silence takes over the shop.

"Get rekt" I hear Armin whisper.
She scans my items as I try to calm down.
I pay for the clothes before grabbing them and Armin.
"Never fucking again"
Armin nods beside me.
It's silent for about a minute before Armin lets out a little giggle.
Which turns into a laugh.
Which turns into both of us laughing.
Armin snorts and I laugh harder trying to catch my breath.
"H-holy shit! I can't believe that just happened!"
"I k-know! You said get rekt! That was priceless!"

We climb in the car with smiles on our faces before heading back to my place.
"By the way I'm staying over. I don't need you running late to the meet up tomorrow"
"Meet up? With who?"
"The bosses of the company"
"Oh, Hey! I would be fine tomorrow"
Armin chuckles patting my cheek "Sure you would honey"
"Armin!"
