My Parents, My Love (Armin Arlert x Male Reader)

Chapter 1

******** Reader P.O.V ********

The beep of the alarm clock is what wakes me up today, not my mom, my clock. I look around my room and wonder why my mom hadn't woken me up. I get up and walk to her room, "Mom?" I ask but am cut short when I see the bloody mess in front of me. Her room was a disaster and she looks like she has a hangover. "Wow mom can't even keep your room clean as an example for you kid," I hear a small laugh coming from the bed so I know she's awake. I leave her alone in her room so she can hopefully clean it, while I get ready for school.

I'm all ready for school and mom still hasn't left her room. By now I'm worried, so I go up to her room and knock on the door. "Mom?" I ask ever-so-innocently. But all I see now is a lifeless corpse and a broken window. Tears start streaming out my eyes. "MOM!" I scream as loud as possible. The hot salty tears run down my face and cheeks like a waterfall.

I don't want to go to school today, but I know my mom would tell me to go. I grab my things and walk to my bus stop. I stand there for a half hour waiting, when the bus finally comes. I get on the bus and head to school.

>>>>>>>> TIME SKIP <<<<<<<<

Ugh I really regret coming to school today. I'll be holding back tears all day. Naturally no one asked if I was okay or if something was wrong. This is high school, get a reality check.

I finally reach homeroom. Ugh I really don't want to be here. Mr. Ackerman, Levi, always picks on Eren and I think it's really annoying. I walk in and already I hear "Jaeger," Mr. Ackerman must be in a good mood, I couldn't hear him from the hallway. I walk in and see that Eren's desk has been flipped over and sexual drawings had fallen out of his desk and none other than our teacher was in those drawings. Everyone in the class is laughing at Eren, so they don't realize the tears that start rolling down my cheeks. I soon notice the tears and run to my desk beside my friend Armin. I put my head down on my desk so no one can see my tears. Out of the blue, I feel a nudge on my arm and hear, "rough morning," it was Armin. I both wanted him to ask and didn't. "Oh Armin, you have absolutely no idea," I am now holding back my tears and resisting the feeling of wanting to be held by him. As if it wasn't bad enough, I hear the one thing I don't want to hear, "do you want to talk about it?" This was the worst timing, by now I'm shaking, letting tears fall and resisting the urge to run out of the room, so all I do is shake my head no. "Are you sure?" he asks. I lift my head from desk with tears falling from my eyes and scream, "NO, I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT, CAN'T YOU TELL I'M UPSET, LEAVE ME ALONE!" As soon as I yell this, everyone looks towards Armin and I. I know for a fact that this is going to be twisted into some sick rumor. I get up and leave the class. Once the door slams, all I hear is "Jaegar!"

I run down the hall and soon I hear footsteps following behind me. I turn on my heels and am met with a man's chest. "What?" I ask not wanting to be talked to and also not looking at the person's face. "Why are you crying?" As soon as I hear the man's voice I know it's Armin. As if on instinct, I wrap my arms around him and sob like a baby. I can feel his body tense up at first but then he hugs me back. I must really seem like a girl right now, but I'm a boy! He starts patting my back and whispers 'it's okay' in my ear multiple times. I look up at him with a tear-stained face, "It's not okay! My mom was killed this morning while I was getting ready for school. She was the only family I had left and now she's gone! I don't have anyone left! I'm all alone!" I scream and bury my face in his chest. I can feel him tense up at this sudden outburst. He calms down and starts stroking my (h/c) hair. He continues to hug me and stroke my hair. It was nice but like all good things, it came to an end. Armin looked me straight in the eye before speaking, "you can spend the night at my house, you shouldn't be or feel alone after something like that," Armin said with a caring look in his eyes. "Um... I hate to burst your bubble but, won't that be a bit awkward, don't you only have one bed?" I look up at him. "Yeah, so..." he states with the look of 'what of it'. Ugh he is so clueless as to the fact that a single room in my house has caused me so much pain or that it is harbouring a lifeless corpse that was formally known as my mother and is coated in thick red blood. He's probably also clueless as to how fast his heart is actually beating right now.
