"Do you feel any better?" Armin asks offering Eren another tissue.

"A little," Eren sniffled, "I really liked him Armin."

"I know you did, the world works in a shitty way sometimes." Armin sighed resting his head atop of Eren's.

Both pairs of eyes were fixated on the screen in front of them but neither were paying attention to the plot of the movie.

"Do you think I'll ever find anyone." Eren's voice piped up filling the silent room.

"Of course you will," Armin chuckled, "Anyone would be lucky to date you."

"Even you?"

"We're dating remember!" Armin laughed as Eren threw a pillow at him.

"We can like, drop the whole fake dating thing if you want, I mean... what's the point."

Armin sighed brushing one of Eren's recent tears from his cheeks with his pale pink jumper sleeve, "We could try it for a month and if Levi is happy in his relationship then we can drop it okay?"

"I thought you were against it?"

"I was at first but... Seeing you this upset made me realise how much you want this so I'm willing to help."

Eren grins and tackles his friend into a hug, Armin's back fell onto the soft pillows.

"You're an amazing friend, I love you so much."

"Love you too, boyfriend."

"You're coming to the party right?"

Armin tugs at a strand of his hair.

"You know parties aren'r really my thing Ymir."

"Armin." Ymir sighed down the phone, "It'll be fun!"

"You said that last time and then threw up all over me."

Ymir snorts, "Please Ar, it will be different this time..."

"Fine."

"Yay! I'll let Levi know you're coming."

Levi...

Armin pondered for a moment before it clicked in his brain.

Eren!

"Can I bring a plus one?" Armin asks hoping for the best.

Ymir ponders for a moment, "I mean sure, the more the merrier right! But uh, who are you gonna bring?"

"Eren."
