After being called by his grandfather Armin quickly threw sweatpants over his jean shorts and ran down. "Yes Grandpa?" Armin asks.

His Grandfather was sitting in his usual spot, his recliner. His grandfather sighs and stands up slowly. Armin watches nervously as he stood up in front of him. "That boy just called" Mr. Arlert said. Armin nods then glances at the floor and back at him. Mr. Arlert signed again "you know you don't have to wear those hand-me-downs that your mother had you wear before she passed?" His grandfather asked.

Armin nodded again "I like them..." He says looking to the side his eyes starting to be glossy. His grandfather sighs and pulls him closer to hug him. 

Armin tries holding back the tears but grips his grandfather's shirt as tears flow fastly down his cheeks and soak into his grandfather's loose shirt. "How bad do you want this Armin?" His grandfather asks.

"Really bad" he says through the tears.

His grandfather sighs and puts his hand on Armins head. "You're not exactly what I would have pictured my grandson to be...your mother would have smacked me upside the head right then...But...I'll let him stay for a little bit...but if he does anything I don't like he's leaving, no ifs or buts"

Armin looked up with a weak smile "Thank you!" He yells hugging him tightly

His grandfather sighs giving a small smile "you'll have to prepare him his room"

Armin nods "okay!" He says wiping the tears away

His grandfather nods and sits back down sighing at his decision. He really didn't want this but he wanted to make Armin happy. Plus, Armins never been social. Erens the first person hes ever spoke about. Maybe he could make him more social.

Armin runs upstairs "Love you grandpa!"

His grandfather laughs "love you too kido"

Armin runs in the room in tears

Eren sees the tears running down his face "what's wrong baby?"

Armin smiles "I'm so happy! He said you can stay!"

Erens face lights up "really!?!"

"Yes!" Armin replies wiping his tears away and pulls his sweats off revealing his shorts again

Eren smiles "I like the ones with the white lace triangles on the sides, you should wear them when we meet at the airport"

"O-okay" Armin nodded, his cheeks turning pink

"And that shirt you're wearing now" Eren added

After that they started talking about what clothes they like best on eachother but eventually Eren sighed "I have to get off baby"

"Okay..." Armin said sadly

"I love you cutie" he smiled

Armins blush deepened "I-I...I love you too b-...E-Eren"

Eren smiled as he hung up and logged out of his account and laid back on Jeans bed
