Falling For You (Armin×Reader)

Crush...?

It was morning and Armin kept popping up in my head. What is wrong with me?! Out of all the people I could think about, why was it him? Maybe I don't hate him as much as I think I do? I don't know, but one thing is for sure. I can't let myself warm up to people because I know I'll just lose them.

After getting ready for training, everyone headed out to put on their gear. We went over every single attack we had learned over the past couple of weeks. We were soon going to wall Maria to eliminate the titans in the area.

Time skip~ The mess hall
I was te last person to get food, as always, but I decided I would go eat outside again since there were no more seats. Besides, it was much more peaceful outside. I took in the beauty of  the nature around me while eating. I finished my food and still had time left to lay down in the grass and look up at the sky.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps coming towards me. They came to a stop.
"C-can I j-join you?" The mysterious person asked.

I didn't even bother looking at who it was, I didn't care at the moment. "Sure, I don't really care, but are you sure you want to? You sound scared."

"I-it's ok, I'm fine. I just thought you would tell at me and tell me to go away."

"And why would I do tha-" I turned my head in the direction of the voice and saw Armin. I quickly got up. "Oh, it's you." I started to walk away until he grabbed me by the arm.

"W-wait! I came here to say that I'm sorry!" He blurted out.

I turned around and looked at his hands on my arm. He instantly let go.

"I just- I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable yesterday!" He bowed down on his hands and knees.

I turned around, facing away from him. "How foolish. You don't have to bow down to me. If a simple sorry is all you came here to say, then apology accepted." I looked back at him. He was standing up now, and he was a little shorter than me.

"Thankyou for forgiving me!" He bowed his head down.

"What did I just say about the bowing?" I said sternly. He instantly jolted up right.

"Oh, sorry!" He looked a bit flustered.

"Please, just stop apologizing, will you?" I smirked.

"Ok, but I'm surprised that you didn't go all out on me. I thought you would beat me up because it seems like you hate me. Your actually a really nice girl and your pretty- I mean that your a pretty strong girl!" He was even more flustered at his mistake, and putt his head down to hide it.

I was also a bit flustered myself, but maybe after this, I'll be more sure of my feelings for Armin. "O-oh, uh, thanks." I rubbed the back of my neck. We both stood there awkwardly in silence.

"Well, we should be heading back." I finally broke the silence.

"Y-yeah." Armin looked a little disappointed, but why?

We both headed back to the mess hall, putting our trays and dishes away.

Time skip~ at night- the boys dorm-Armin POV:
"So, how did it go?" Eren was desperate to know what happened between Y/n And I.

"Nothing-" Then the awkward moment with Y/n and how I said she was pretty came to mind. "U-um, uh, n-nothing happened." I rubbed the back of my neck and blushed. Dang it! Now he knows that something did happen!

"Yeah right! Did you guys kiss?!" He was right up in my face.

"N-NO! NOTHING LIKE THAT HAPPENED!" My face was all red.

"Wow Armin, you are aiming for a girl that is hard to get! Your aiming high buddy!" He nudged me in the shoulder.

"Eren, I like her, a LOT, but I think she hates me."

"What?! Well, then again, that does seem right."

"How should I confess?! I don't even know if she hates me!" I was freaking out. I needed to get it off my chest.

"Just wait a little longer, you have to be patient I guess." Eren knew nothing about relationships, although, none of the guys did.

"You are not helping me, Eren *sigh*" it was very late, so we all went to bed.

Y/n POV-girls dorm:
'I think, that maybe... I do have feelings for Armin. My heart was pounding like crazy when he called me pretty. Maybe it's just a small crush.' I thought to myself.
