AOT: Forget and Forgive

A VERY Merry Christmas

Leena's POV

"What?!" Eren yelled as he answered the door. "Oh, sorry Leena, hi."

"Hi, Eren," I said.

"What are you doing here?"

"I need your help?"

"With what?"

"I want to set up Armin and Mystie."

"Why?"

"Because they like each other."

"Were not allowed to date, you know."

"You aren't?"

"No,"

"Why?"

"I don't know, probably because it gets us killed."

"That's stupid, anyway, they like each other, but they're both to shy to do anything about it."

"So, what are you gonna do?"

"Well..." I said and I had the perfect plan. I knew it would work. Now, Eren just had to do one thing, that's all.

Armin's POV

"Hey, Armin," I heard Eren yell. I turn around to see him running toward me.

"What?"

"I was wondering if you could check on Mystie for me."

"Why can't you do it?"

"Because I'm not that close, and I think she likes you best."

"What about Leena? She's her best friend, and you know I'm supposed to stay away."

"Fine, I wasn't going to say anything, but I heard she wants to see you."

"Really?"

"Yeah, and I mean really wants to see you."

"Ok," I said and I walked off, heading to Mystie's room. I knock on the door, extremely nervous, I didn't know why, it was just Mystie, plain old amazing Mystie, and she was my friend. When she answered the door I couldn't breathe, she really wanted to see me, plain old boring me.

"Armin?" She said, looking at me.

"Huh, sorry, hi."

"Hi," She said and she sounded confused. "What are you doing here?"

"I don't know to be honest." I said a lot more calm.

"Ok..." She said, "Are you okay?"

"Why do you ask?"

"You look nervous."

"To be honest, I am."

"Why?" She asked and I didn't get it, did she not know how amazing she was? She was beautiful, smart, caring, kind, and always has lots of ideas.

"Because, its you,"

"Because it's me? Really, why, I'm just me, boring me."

"You're not boring, you're amazing."

"You think I'm amazing?"

"Yes,"

"You know there's mistletoe above us." She said, taking a step forward, out of the doorway and into the hallway. I look up to see what she was talking about. She was right, there was mistletoe. It was hanging on the edge of the doorframe. I was wondering how I didn't notice it before, or how she knew it was there, she didn't even look up once.

I looked back down, but before I could do anything there were lips on mine. It felt amazing. I was kissing Mystie, her lips as soft as they looked. It was a regular kiss at first but once we got used to it, it was intense. I put my hands around her, bringing her closer, while her hands wrapped around the back of my neck. I was in heaven, with the girl I liked. At this point, I didn't care what Levi was going to say when he found out.

Mystie's POV

"You know there's mistletoe above us." I said, I noticed this earlier when I answered the door, I hadn't put it their, but I had a guess who did. When he looked up I knew I had one chance to do this, it was now or never. If I tried when he was looking at me, he would pull away, like he always did, he wasn't allowed to date, or get close, I got that, but I still wanted him.

When he was looking back down I took my chance and leaned in and kissed him. At first it was slow, I guess I was nervous and I could tell he was too. Then, it got more intense once we got into it. I felt his arms wrap around my back and pull me closer. I took it and wrapped my arms around his neck, bringing his face closer to mine.

Armin's POV (Later)

"What was that?" Levi yelled at me. He apparently had seen what happened and we were having a meeting about it. "I told you to stay away!"

"I know, but it wasn't my fault," I said, I regretted it when I said it; I couldn't let Mystie take the blame when it wasn't all her fault. "Fine, okay maybe it was partly my fault, I could've backed away and told her no then walked away, but I couldn't."

"I don't care!" Levi yelled then walked over in a couple swift strides and smacked me right in the face. "Maybe that will teach you."

"Levi, stop!" I heard someone yell. I looked to where it was coming from and I saw Leena standing in the doorway, she must've been watching.

"And why should I?" He asked, looking toward Leena.

"Because it's not fair, if you want to blame anyone blame me, I put the mistletoe there so they would kiss and get together. I knew they weren't supposed to date, but I knew how much Mystie liked Armin and it was killing her to have Armin doing this to her so I gave them a little push, since I knew Armin liked Mystie as well."

"And why should I care?"

"Because they care for each other deeply and they're perfect together and your rules for no dating is STUPID!"

"What did you just say?"

"You heard me, and go ahead, punish me, it won't change anything."

"I'm not going to punish you." He said then turned back to me. "Look, be together, but if you get each other killed, don't say I didn't tell you so."

"Whatever, we won't," I said and he walked off. "You didn't have to do that."

"Yes I did, Mystie really cares about you and you guys needed to get together already. I like you, you're my friend and I always help my friends. I'm here for you Armin, but I will always choose her first, remember that."

"I will, thank you Leena, I appreciate it, and I'm too scared to stand up."

"You're welcome,"

Hope you enjoyed. Merry Christmas.
