-Armin x Reader--->

For as long as I can remember, Armin and I were like brother and sister. Me being the big sister, and Armin as the little brother.

We met when the wall collapsed. Its been years now.

"Armin!" I called,"Where are you?! Don't tell me you're crying again."

Today was our second day at the trainee barracks. Earlier this morning, Armin had screwed up and got scolded. He even won a kick to the stomach.

He had to do laps for a long while and its nighttime now. He still haven't come back.

"Armin!" I kept calling.

He's defiantly crying.

Finally, I heard sniffling noises. I came close to it and found Armin knelt down to the grass and bushes, crying.

I walked up to him and grabbed his shoulders. And then yanked it backwards, showing me his crying face. His back hit the ground and he covered his wet face.

"What was that, (y/n)." He said through sobs,"It hurts."

"You won't answer me!" I said."Punishment."

With that, we headed back inside.

"Armin!" Eren shouted,"I thought the titans got you!"

"Mm," Mikasa said beside him,"Don't do that."

I slapped his back,"Baaad Arrrrmin."

"Jeez, you guys are so mean," he said through laughter,"You should cheer me up."

"You're already cheered up," I said.

The bond between Armin and I are very close. It was like a small string, but it was made of un rippable materials.

The next day, we woke up at 5:00 am. I yawned as we trained for the day. We practiced balancing the 3D manuever gears.

I was worried but everyone seems to be able yo do it. I got rid of my nervousness and....I did it! I looked beside me, Armin was doing it, too. I looked at Mikasa. Wow...she's totally getting it. And then I heard a yelp.

Eren....is facepalmed to the ground.

Later....

"Eren, you just try to balance yourself," I said."Don't get overwhelmed."

"Eren, if you fail-" Mikasa was cut of.

"Shut it!" He said,"I'm not going to fail! I...I won't! Armin, didn't you say that I can get better by practicing?"

"Y-Yeah, Eren!" Armin encouraged,"Just go over what we said and keep practicing! You can do it."

"We'll be here," I said, smiling.

"Eren, even if people mock you, I'll still be beside you," Mikasa said.

The rest of the time, Eren practiced as we tried to help. He kept falling to the point that I'm starting to doubt things. Everyone could do it, so why can't he? I don't think that Eren's the problem.

Hours later....

We went back inside as Eren panted in frustration.

"Eren," I said,"I don't think you're the problem here. Something feels off."

"What?! What could be the problem?!" He shouted,"I'm...I'm so done."

I slapped his back.

"Oww!" He cried out,"What are you doing?"

"Eren!" I said, this time louder,"You are not done! I told you, you're not the problem."

He gave me a devastated look.
