Hey again!!!
So this is my third chapter woohoo!!!
ENJOY!!!♡
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was only 8am when Eren woke up. He looked at Armin who was still curled up next to him, his head on his chest.

He's so adorable when he sleeps.
No, why do I keep thinking like this? Am I really straight or do I just say that to fit in? I don't know anymore.
All I know is I may have a crush on my best friend...and I'm pretty sure he doesn't feel the same way as me.
I mean I've always thought he was gay but he hasn't ever directly told me. Should I talk to him?
No, not yet. Not until I'm sure about myself.
Eren slowly and softly picked up Armins head, trying not to wake him. He lay it on the bed careful and slowly stood. He walked to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. He looked terrible! He had drool on his face, which he doesn't know if it was his, and his hair looked like a tornado blew through it.
Why does my hair always do this to me.
He opened the small drawer under the sink and took out his spare hairbrush, he keeps a few things there in case he needs to stay. He ran it through his short brown hair.

After a few minutes of carfull grooming Eren looked as good as new. He walked back into the small bedroom and sat in the chair next to the bed. Ok let's figure this out. I know I reacted to Armins adorable smile...a little to much. A small patch of blush formed on his cheeks. And when I look at him I do always feel a little more happy. I mean he's so nice and smart. And he has the cutest smile...ok I think I may be gay!
Just relax. It's not that big a deal. I know Armin won't judge me...but explaining this to my dad will be difficult. He's always pushing me to do things I don't really want to do. Like this year I was gonna join a book circle with Armin but my dad said that it was a stupid idea and I should do football instead. I didn't want to but arguing with him is like arguing with a toddler. He only see's his side. I just wish he'd see my si- his thoughts were cut short by a rustle coming from the bed. Armin had rose and was rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"Hey sleepy head" Eren said playfully
"Oh umm hi. I didn't know you were still here." Armin said lazily as he started to blush. He lay his hand on his chest which was now bare. Eren stared at him confused. A small smile started to form on his lips but he quickly stopped it. Don't let him see
Armin noticed his gaze was set on him. He avoided eye contact with him. The blush deepened as he spoke "I uh got a little hot last night so I ummm took off my shirt. I guess I forgot you were still here. Sorry."
Eren continued to stare, he couldn't stop. It was like he was paralyzed. Armin moved as the akwardness set in. This snapped him out of it. His gaze moved to Armins face, which was a blood red color on his cheeks. "It's ok. I didn't notice. I guess I was asleep."
More akwardness filled the room.
Armin stood and walked to his dresser. He pulled out a shirt with a book printed on it and slipped it on. To Eren it looked as if he did this in slow motion. His small, but supprisingly muscular, chest was covered by the shirt.
When he sat back on the bed Eren stood and sat next to him ok just try to be calm
"We need to talk..."
Armin tilted his head and looked at him "about what?"
"Well umm it's kinda hard to explain and you may think I'm crazy but I have to tell you." He took a deep breath and met Armin's gaze "I-I think I may be gay."
A small smile formed on Armins lips as he rubbed Erens back, who's face was now as red as an apple. finally!!!
"That's ok. I wont think of you any different."
"Really?! I thought you would think I was weird, and say we couldn't be friends!"
"No I'd never do that!"
"Good. Would it be ok if I hugged you?"
"Of course! You don't have to ask. It's just the same as before."
Armin leaned forward and held Eren. "Your my best friend"
"I know. I don't know what I was thinking."
"It's ok I get it, and since you were honest with me I guess I should do the same with you." Armin blushed a little and looked Eren in the eyes
"I was gonna tell you sooner but I thought you would leave me.
I'm umm also gay. I found out when I was 13." Armin looked at the bed beneath him "I-i thought you were kinda...cute. Please don't think I'm weird."
"it's ok Armin." Eren rubbed the back oh his head "I sorta always thought you were but I didn't want to ask you." Eren lifted Armins head so that he could look him in his beautiful blue eyes "it's ok. I would never think you were weird. But I do have to ask...do you umm still uh think I'm cute?"
