AOT: Forget and Forgive

Show and Tell

Read Before: This takes place on a weekend. They are at the castle. This is not after the other episode. It has been a few days, but Mystie has not seen Armin since.

Mystie's POV

Wow. He liked me. Armin actually liked me. Armin...

"Hey, Mystie, you there?" Someone said, I hadn't realized but Leena was in my room, waving her hand in front of me.

"Yeah, sorry, lost in thought."

"What were you thinking about?" Leena asked.

"Nothing,"

"Okay,"

"What are you doing in here?"

"Well, we have to go."

"Go where?"

"I don't know, home I think, trainings over for today."

"Good, I'm tired."

"How you sleeping?"

"Terrible...I wake up like 2-5 times a night."

"Well, get changed into regular clothes and let's go."

"Okay," I said and I got dressed while she waited outside. I just put on my everyday jeans and a plain white t-shirt with a jean button up shirt over it. "Let's go,"

"Yeah, please, I love this and all but it's tiring." Leena said as we walked through the castle halls to the entrance where everyone was waiting for us.

"You can say that again." I said and we walked in silence walking the corridors to the entrance. We got lost only once or twice now, we knew the halls, how to get to certain places.

As I walked in to the all too familiar entrance I saw Levi talking to some guy, Mikasa and Eren talking and then Armin standing alone in the corner of the room. He looked up as we walked in; I stopped in my tracks as his eyes landed on mine.

I remember the conversation we had the other day. I could still hear him saying the words, "I like you" clearly in my head, as if I was hearing them. All I wanted to do was run over and ask him out, but I was too shy, I knew he liked me, but I still was nervous.

"Okay, good, you guys are here, lets go." Levi said, leaving out the door, Eren and Mikasa following him. It took a second before Armin followed him. I watched him walk out the door. As soon as he walked out the door I walked forward and out the door, Leena by my side.

"What happened the other day?" Leena asked.

"What do you mean?" I said, trying to hide it. I wanted to tell her, but I didn't want to tell her, it was weird.

"When you confronted him about avoiding you."

"Oh, nothing," I said, suspiciously, I knew she could tell I was hiding something.

"Really?"

"Fine, he said he liked me,"

"Seriously?"

"Yes,"

"Then what?"

"Levi came in, yelling at him."

"Why?"

"I don't know, I never figured it out, I haven't seen him since."

"Hey, ask him out."

"No!"

"Why not? He likes you, you like him, date."

"I'm in middle school."

"So?"

"I don't know, I'm too shy, so let's leave it at that."

"Fine," She said and we got in the car and drove off.
