How should Grisha find Eren?

He doesn't Zeke tries to bring Eren in to gain his own freedom. 1

He uses Zeke to locate Eren then tries to kidnap him. 1

Should we have an event take place where Levi and Eren get "closer"?

A thunderstorm and no one is in the shop. 1

They "accidently" get locked in the store room. 1

What was Armin's "job" that got him hurt?

He deviled "packages" 1

He was just a stock boy at a store and got jumped for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. 1

"How did you get hurt?" Erwin asked leaning over Armin to adjust the window curtain behind him.

"Being stupid, I suppose." Armin whispered.

"I worked as a stock boy at the grocery store. This guy, well he came in on a somewhat regular basis." Armin looked down at the phone he held.

"He offered me $500 to deliver this package, no questions and I would get the money once I took it to this address." He muttered.

"You really needed the money." Erwin guessed. Armin nodded.

"I should have texted Eren first." He sighed.

"Thought Eren doesn't have a phone." Levi growled. Armin snickered.

"You believed that?" He chuckled.

"What is he?" Erwin whispered.

Eren came out of the back room. He turned the open sign to closed, before looking at the three people staring him down. He untied the apron.

"What?" He demanded.

"You're going to have to ask him. It isn't my place to tell." Armin insisted.

"Still on about what I'm into, or what I am?" Eren asked with a smirk.

"Both." Levi hissed.

Eren shook his head, giggled, then began his duties of cleaning out the bin, wiping down the tables and organizing everything for the night. He didn't say a word. He whistled some little tune that ran through his head. Levi growled as thunder erupted over the store.

There was a squeal from down below. Hange came stomping up the stairs. The echo of their footsteps ringing in the silence. They burst into the main room, panting.

"Should have known you would be afraid of thunder. Just like you hate to bathe!" Levi growled.

"Come on, I'll give you a ride home." Erwin offered them.

"Do you mind if..." Armin stopped talking when everyone looked over at him.

"Armin loves the rain." Eren smiled fondly.

"Want to ride along?" Erwin guessed. Armin nodded his head vigorously.

Eren snickered, walking over to him. He bent to allow the elf to leap onto his back. Carrying him piggy back style, they walked out to Erwin's truck. Hange was in the front. It was one of those dual cab pickups. Erwin opened the back, as Eren turned to let Armin crawl in.

"Be good." He commanded as he fixed the blanket around the smaller boy. "No barking or getting over worked." He teased.

"Yes mom!" Armin rolled his eyes.

Erwin shut the door. He looked at Eren, who stood beside him with his head tipped up to the rain. It fell, striking his closed eyes, winding a path down the side of his face to drip onto his shoulder.
