"Eren, don't start freaking out, again." Connie, who might as well been Eren's awkward brother, tried to calm the pacing German.
"I can't do this!! What was I thinking?! This is ridiculous! Why did I think this was a good idea?!" Eren scratched at the Ash Ketchum hat on top his head.
The poor guy was pacing like a nervous parent outside the cafeteria door, trying to work up the courage to see his plan through.For this plan, he was clad in the most famous Pokemon trainer's get up- even painted the "z"s on his cheeks. Connie was dressed up like Brock: orange shirt, khakis, and the army green vest; and Jean, not sure why he was involved, but whatever, was threaded like MOTHERFUCKING Gray Oak- Asshole!!
But, remember, It was for the plan"Bro!" Connie slapped him. "Calm down! You can do this! You and Armin have been messin' around for like, what? Three months? Why you haven't asked him to be your boyfriend yet is a freak of nature and confuses the hell out of me! Now- you want him to be your boyfriend, right?!"
The green eyed boy rubbed his cheek, "1- Don't phrase it like that, you make it sound like we've been sleeping around or something! And 2- Yes! More than anything."
"Well then man the hell up and let's do this! Don't be a chicken shit, Jaeger!!" Connie shook him like a rag doll.
"You're right!!" Eren shouted back, new found confidence surfacing.
"Jean! You ready!?"
The French horse-faced douchebag rolled his eyes," I don't care. Are we doing this or not?"
"That's the spirit!"
The pint-size ball of spunk pushed Eren and the horse on two legs through the doors, himself right behind them.
No one seemed to be paying attention yet.
Eren looked around, spotting Armin sitting with Reiner, Marco, Bertholdt, Thomas, and the girls. He smiled at his blonde companion's laughing face, looking happy as can be. He prayed his plan didn't ruin that smile.
"Okay, guys, let's go!"
Eren took a deep breath and walked over to the small stage the cafeteria had just for when announcements needed to be made last second by the principle or whatever; Connie and Jean followed him up there.
Now drawing attention, Ms. Zoe- the only teacher who knew of Eren's plan and was eager to assist- jumped up on the stage and handed the boys each a microphone, then jumped back off, ready to start the music.
Already feeling himself shake, Eren cleared his throat and signaled for Ms. Zoe to cue the music.[This is a Pokemon theme parody I thought up from all the Pokemon theme homecoming purposals and I thought it was cute, leave me be!
-Eren
-(Jean and Connie). ]The Pokemon Theme hit his ears and his immediately got into it, singing like a rockstar when his cue hit-
I want to be the very best
Like no one ever was
To sing this song is my real test
To ask you out is my causePointing at Armin, teens felt the redness rush to their faces. The blonde's facial expression was priceless and Eren couldn't help but laugh as he sang.
I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Teach me babe to understand
The love I have that's insideAll three boys jumped on the lunch tables, half scaring kids to death but everyone seemed to be enjoying the performance so far: half "awes" and the other half just shocked. Then there was Mr.Ackerman who just scowled like always.
Will you be my boyfriend!?
It's you and me
I know you're my destiny
(Say yes Armin!) oh, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
(Will you be his boyfriend?!)
a heart so true
Our love and faith will pull us throughYou teach me and I'll teach you
(Eren and Armin!) Gotta nice ring to it(Yeaaaah)
For once something cool went Eren's way and the German knee-slid to his love in question- who held a shocked and tomato red face the entire time- and managed to stop right infront of him. High Five, Jaeger! He took the brit's hand, holding it to his chest, looking in his eyes, and continued singing with his back up singers.
Every challenge along the way
With courage I will face
I will battle every day
To have you with me, babe!So come with me, the time is right
There's no better team
Arm in arm we'll win the fight
You've always been my dream!By then, Connie and Jean were right on either side of the German, belting the last chorus out to Armin- Connie having to do the air guitar, of course! Jaeger shot his fist the air, trying his best.
Will you be my boyfriend!?
It's you and me
I know you're my destiny
(Say yes Armin!) oh, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
(Will you be his boyfriend?!)
a heart so true
Our love and faith will pull us throughYou teach me and I'll teach you
(Eren and Armin!)Gotta nice ring to it!Eremin!
The three jumped the air like at the end of an eighty's movie, landing back on the table with a thud when the song finished.
The whole room was in an uproar. The student body was going crazy: screaming, cheering, wolf whistles, applause- it was crazy.
But to Eren, the only reaction that matter was Armin's.Since their first kiss back over the summer, he knew he was screwed.
Knew he wasn't going to spend another day without having those lips on his again.
Knew he needed Armin as his and no one elses.
His problem, though, he was a chicken.
He was scared to make it official out of fearing the unknown. But, he realized he didn't care. He could take anything if Armin was by his side every step of the way.
Which is where the idea of asking him out came along. The execution however- Aye, go big or go home!Eren sat down on his spot on the table, right infront of Armin with his knees on either side of the blonde.
"So..." The brunette reached in his vest and pulled out a pokeball. "Armin Arlett, will you be my boyfriend?"
The blonde looked up at the brave soul who was biting his lip, nervously waiting the answer and holding out the pokeball, then the blonde almost cried.
Eren was perfect.
The blue eyed boy opened the pokeball and inside was a silver necklace with the pendant a sterling silver "E" with a small green pokeball at the top corner of the letter and a small plaque pendant that said "Together."
He clamped a hand over his mouth and looked back up at Eren, who was holding out his own chain around his neck with was a matching sterling silver necklace with a silver "A" pendant with a small blue pokeball at the bottom corner of the letter and a small plaque pendant that read "Forever."
The small blonde forced himself together- though, wanting to bawl in joy- and slowly stood up, causing the brunette to look at him in confusion.
Armin then, with a stern face, simply took off Eren's hat and dropped it to the group.
Everyone and Eren looking at him concerned.
"Armin?"
The boy then grabbed Eren shirt collar, pulling off the table and making him stand up infront of him. He then took the pokeball of his hand and set it on the table top.
Facing a prepared-for-rejection-Eren, he cleared his throat, then broke out in a huge grin," Damn, it really took you that long?"
Everyone was back to cheering.
Eren sighed in relief and wrapped his arms around Armin as his jumped up in his embrace, wrapping his legs around his waist and his arms around his neck; Eren holding him up, gladly.
The German spun them around then set his boyfriend on the table, both giddy and smiling like idiots.
Then, he cupped his face kissed him lovingly but appropriately- they did have an audience, remember?
Gaining there reaction from the crowd, they both pulled away, putting their foreheads together.
"So, out of all songs, you pick the Pokemon theme song?"Armin said breathlessly.
Eren chuckled," You know you loved it."
The blonde giggled and curled his fingers in the german's vest," So how was your first kiss with your boyfriend?"
"Magical."
"So... You wanna do it again?"
