The grass is always greener on the other side

    Eren's p.o.v

I awake with a ray of sunlight hitting my face. An empty feeling crept into my chest as I think about last night.

"I leave you here for 10 minutes and all you have done is swept the floor."
" I'm sorry corporal, I guess... I just got distracted."
" just leave. I'm tired of this. But come back tomorrow, I have more for you to do."

A wave of heat washes over my face as I turn a a bright red.
Could I ... could I have feelings for Levi ?

Armin's p.o.v

When I wake up, I turn and see that Eren has already left. I always thought Eren would hate me for likening him, I thought he would freak out and stop talking to me.
    But I know our friendship. He would never let that happen . He is a caring person and I guess that's why i like him so much.
I stand up and take off my pajamas and start to get ready.
I walk out with the sun in my face and wind in my hair. It's pretty empty outside , except for a couple of people walking around.

I guess I should get some food.

-

There he is.
Eren.
Of course I should have known he was here with Mikasa, but at least he could have woken me up.
" hey , Eren "
" oh hey, I was going to wake you up , but you looked so peaceful "
I start to blush as I sit next to him. I look up and he smiles at me. That beautiful smile that I know and love. I smile back, but he looks away when he sees someone entering the door.... Levi.
Was it wrong of me to get a little jealous when he started blushing? Was it wrong of me to get mad and leave the table to go outside? I run out the door.
Of course it was wrong of me. I turn around thinking of a way to apologize , when someone grabs my wrist.
" hey Armin, I want to show you something."
Being the cautious person I am, I got startled and kicked him in the shin.
   " oh my god, I'm so sorry Jean, I thought you were someone else."
he laughs. " it's okay, I probably shouldn't have grabbed your wrist in the first place. " there was a long pause.
" so what, did you want too show me?"
" Oh yeah! I almost forgot. Follow me."
    He takes his hand and places it over my eyes.
" jeannn." I complain .
He laughs again and then removes his hand.
" sorry, sorry. But when I tell you too close your eyes, you have to actually close them. I'll guide you. " I nod in response.
     " are you sure your legs okay ?"
He turns around and smiles, signaling a thumbs up.
He turns back and starts walking... with his leg limping.
I laugh to my self and run to catch up with him.

-

"Ok, now close them."
He puts his arm around my shoulder and starts to guide me.
"Left here"
" now take a right."
I feel an incline as I walk straight. I think I know where we are. I feel a pause. " Now open."
I open my eyes, expecting some sort of miracle to take place in front of me, but no. Just the exact same spot I confessed my love to Eren. The spot where we kissed.
The hill.
" oh , it's the hill. I've actually been here before." I say, not knowing I had a disappointed look on my face.
He just smiles
" you haven't seen this part." A smirk creeps across his face.
He pushes a hole in the bushes ( that are about ten feet tall and circles around most of the hill (; )
With his hand. It was as if he had been here a million times before, with the hole easy to get past without getting stabbed by a branch.
I crawl through and stand up. A sudden gust of wind flys through my hair. The bright and shiny sun feels as if it was giving warm kisses all over my face.
And the grass. The grass was my favorite part. Vibrant and healthy. Not a single piece was brown, just like the other side with dead plants and arid dirt.
The soil there. It was lush and full of moisture. It felt like stepping on pillows.
And the flowers, they were all different hues of the rainbow, giving off a sweet, candy like smell.
I love it here. It was like looking at a picture in my book back when I was little. I run around a bit trying to catch each ray of sunlight .
Out of breath, I turn around and see jean laying down in the middle of the grass. And in that moment, with his eyes closed and his brown hair blowing in the wind, I would say he looked at peace. He was beautiful even.
I blush as I shake the thought out of my head. I lay down next to him and close my eyes.
I hear the birds chirping, the crickets jumping and the sound of honey bees flying around. It's all too perfect.
" hey jean, how did you find this place?"
"Oh, Hanji showed it to me. Apparently Levis' squad would use this place as a hang out. It was Petra's idea. But ever since she died, and all the others, Levi hasn't stepped foot near this place. And I guess Hanji didn't want it to go to waste."
A pang of guilt hit me in the chest.
" is it okay that we're using their place?"
" yeah it's fine."
I try and relax. I close my eyes again and take in the heat. Me eyelids start to feel heavy as i drift off into a deep sleep.


Jeans p.o.v

My hand feels numb so I move it around before I place it down again. Only this time, it lands on something. I turn my head, looking at what it was.
I jump up and start apologizing, for placing my hand on top of Armin's hand, but I realize he's asleep.
I lay back down, this time on my side, facing Armin. I study his face.
I never noticed how adorable his completion was. His golden hair covering his cheek, and his light brown freckles gently placed on his nose. It was almost too perfect.
A yellow butterfly swooped down and landed on his nose. His face started to twitch as the butterfly flew off into the distance. He woke up, letting me have a glimpse of his eyes, that resembled the ocean in a beautiful way.
He turned to face me , still laying down.
He had a slight blush and a smile oh his face.
" Good morning sunshine."
