Falling For You (Armin×Reader)

Feelings

They started out like any other day, but I couldn't stop thinking about what Armin said to me. It made me feel something. I guess this is what people mean when they say 'it made my heart flutter'. Maybe I can talk to him more about what happened yesterday. I just need to be sure about my feelings. I'm just so confused. My head and heart have different opinions.

Training~
"Armin!" I quickly ran to him. Everyone stared at us.

"O-oh, Y/n. What are you doing over here?" He was getting embarrassed by the unwanted attention.

"I want to talk to you." Everyone leaned in to hear what I was going to say. "IN PRIVATE." I shouted to the cadets surrounding us. So everyone went somewhere else, far enough that they can't hear me and Armin. "I came to talk about yesterday." My heart was beating fast. "About what you said." My face was turning red.

"W--wa-wait! I also want to tell you something!" Armin was completely red at this point. "Y/n, I...I love you!" Then he quickly hid his face with his hands. My heart fluttered at those words, but my mind was telling to not give into it because in the end, I would get hurt.

"Armin, I'm sorry, but I don't feel the same way. Can we pretend nothing ever happened between us?" My heart broke, but it was for the best. Wasn't it?

"What...? Oh. Ok... it's fine." He then removed his hands from his face and walked off, but I could tell he was also heart broken.

Woman's dorm-Night~
I silently cried as I kept thinking about what had happened today. I thought it wouldn't be this painful. I thought I could handle it. Was a good thing to shut everyone out? I'm just protecting myself from getting hurt, right? I cried myself to sleep.

The Next Morning~
I get up, but I feel horrible. As soon as we start training, I see Armin, and a burst of happiness rushes through me, but then I remember what I did to him. How I hurt him.

Next we go to class. I have to sit with Armin. It was like life was trying to punish me. I felt ashamed that I broke his heart to keep mine whole.

Captain Levi entered the room. "Cadets, I'm here to inform you that we will be going on a mission to eliminate all the titans in wall Maria. Tomorrow." Everyone gasped. "So be prepared and fight till the end." His voice was deep and stern.

I was prepared, I wanted to kill those titans. Then maybe I wouldn't have to worry about losing people, and maybe... I could love Armin. Only then, would I truly find happiness.

I want to do baflu give into love, but I can't. Not just yet. I swear to fight with all my might.
