Behind Closed Doors, Something Else Goes On

🚪 Chapter Twenty-one

Regen Eel's POV:

"Not to spoil the cute and cuddly moments...but we have a bigger problem.", Armin said, sitting on the floor. He was holding something--or someone, I don't know.

My eyes followed him as he stood up with a toddler tugging on his shirt.

"Oh~ Eren! He is so adorable, cuddly blah blah I tuned her out. We all saw Cactus pacing around the room, panicking--but more like fangirling, if you'll ask me--over little Eren with Armin here.

I wondered just how long is Armin planning to hold that baby in his arms. "Another kid!", I called, overly excited to have a little chit chat with the brat. Hey, that rhymes...

Sob sob rub rub rub

The sound of weak sniffles filled the room, but luckily I was good at dealing with children.

"Hush...", I began. Armin had made him cry for some reason. "Little baby, don't say a word. Don't cry anymore, kay? Yah?", I continued, rubbing circles on his back to calm him down.

"Little baby?! Call him by his name, you walking laughing machine.", Armin yelled, who knew he had that in him? He's just jelly that I got Eren to stop crying and he couldn't.

"Calling names now, Armin? Pfft. HAHAHAHAHAHA"
