Armin's perspective

When the snow first started to fall, I was happy! Who does not love snow and the happy feeling it gives you? It was nice to be able to walk down the silent street and enjoy the complete lack of cars. But when it got to two feet I begin to wonder, how wonderful really was snow?

Since no one could drive safely, collage classes were canceled. That was a bummer, because I do like school a lot and I was hopping I could talk to my friends about our newest project. But since I can't go to school, I got my books and computer together and took them to 'Sugar Cup Coffee House' to study inside the warm and familiar shop.

With my books about me on the table, my computer open to a new document, my coffee in my hands, and my legs curled up on the red and white padded bench next to a window I am quite happy. It's so perfect feeling I can't contain a small giggle.

"What's so funny Armin?" Asks a boy, coming over and taking a seat across from me. I look up from my book and smile hugely at him.

"Eren! Hello! Nothing really, it's just so nice here!" He smiles at my reply, pulling out a newspaper and scanning it. I try to return to the happy and focused place I was only moments before but now it's impossible. My eyes keep drifting up to watch him, how his beautiful eyes run down the page and his free hand taps the table. Oh, I wish I could hold his hand. Realizing what I am thinking I blush slightly and sink my face into my scarf in an effort to hide it. Looking up from his paper, Eren laughs.

"Trying to hide?" I blush darker at this but come out of my hiding place.

"No, not really." I mumble, taking another sip of my coffee. Trying hard not to look at him and his beautiful eyes, I look out the window.

"Hey Armin, you have something on your face." Chuckles Eren, pointing to something I can see. I wipe my mouth but he just shakes his head, indicating it is alluding me.

"Here, let me." He says, leaning forward to remove it. When his hand is inches from my face he glances at me and stops. My face is beet red and I must look terrified. He just looks at me and than in a single move, leans over and presses his soft lips to mine in a quick kiss. It only lasts a second, but it's as if it lasted an eternity.

When I finally look up, he is standing to go. He smiles one last smile at me, and exits, leaving me alone like I was only minutes before. Bringing my hands to my lips, I whisper softly.

"Wow..."
