Armin Arlert X Reader Scenarios

A Nightmare At Ease

Armin lies wide awake in bed staring out into the pitch sky. Every once in a while he would feel the night breeze hit his face, thanks to his window being open. Thank the Lord that it is Friday. He could stay up for as long as he wanted without having to worry about school for a while.

He would also get to spend time with his girlfriend, Y/n.

The two have been dating for 3 weeks and have gotten even closer than they were before. Armin swears he is the happiest man on Earth. Who wouldn't be if their confession has been accepted by their long time crush?

Armin stares down at his angel who is on her side with her head on his chest. He smiles softly while running his hand through her h/c hair.

It wasn't before long till his eyelids felt heavy. He places his chin on top of Y/n's head before closing his eyes.

Before he could slip off into his dream world, he hears a tiny whimper from below him. His eyes opened once more as he took his chin off Y/n's head. He furrows his brows as he notices tears sliding down the girl's cheek.

Y/n sudden shuffling startled Armin the slightest bit.

Nightmares, Armin thought as he removed Y/n from him to sit up, only to quickly regret it as he heard her mumble.

"Don't hurt me, Armin," her voice rose slightly as she spoke his name.

Armin now has Y/n on the mattress and is slightly shaking her.

"Y/n," he whispers, "Love, wake up!"

Y/n's whimpers got louder as more tears fell. Armin lays kisses on top of her head while reaching down to grab her left hand, which was clenched up into a fist, and squeezing it.

He continued giving off small actions of affections until Y/n fell silent. He was relief to see that her brown orbs were slowly revealing themselves, until she pulled her hand away from him. She seemed to try and bury herself into the mattress in order to hide herself.

Armin stopped and watched. Does she think this is still a nightmare?

"Please, Armin," she pleaded as she turned her head away from him, "don't hurt me."

Armin's heart broke at the tone of her voice. Armin stopped moving closer to her, not wanting to frighten her anymore.

Y/n remained backed up against the wall. Her figure shook, either from fear or coldness.

It is decided that there is not much he could but wait. He got up from the bed and walked over to his desk. He sat on his chair before putting his head down in his arms.

The room was slightly tense. The only thing that could be heard was silence.

Until a small noise came out from his side. Immediately, Armin picked his head up and his heart almost drops at the small scene.

Y/n, now slightly unwrapped from the blanket, held out a hand towards Armin' direction. Her eyes seem to have this pleading look, almost as if she was giving him puppy eyes.

He got up from the chair, which was getting uncomfortable, and lied back down on the mattress. He feels a pair of hands on his chest as soon as he lies on his back. He gazes up at his angel, who's magnificent outline stood out in the moonlight. He smiles slightly before reaching his hands out. Y/n isn't hesitant and lies on top of Armin.

The silence between them was a comfortable one. Both were comfy in bed again in each other's hold.

Until Y/n interrupts the silence.

"They changed you," Y/n's muttered.

Armin looks back down, confused. E/c teary orbs stared back up at him.

"I-In my dream, y-you were stuck down in some half open tube, w-with water," She paused, before averting her gaze." I was standing behind some sort of glass.

"T-There were drills that were part of the tube, too!" Y/n's voice crackled as her eyes watered once more. "T-These guys in lab coats pushed some button and y-you were underwater. The drill's were closing in on you, too. There was an x-ray showing what was happening t-too!"

A sob escaped her lips. Armin rubbed small circles on her back in attempt to comfort her, "T-Then, they went in-the drills! Though your body, head, skull!"

This scenario sounded familiar to Armin.

"Y-You were struggling! And I could only watch! The drills were deep in your skeleton, shown on the x-ray!" Y/n sobs out. The vivid image of Armin being completely helpless appeared in her head.

"S-Suddenly, glass was blasted! Everyone in the room was either dead or horribly injured!" Y/n rolled off of Armin and was now on her back. She stared up at the ceiling before taking a breath, continuing. "The tube was empty so I went over to it. Then I was flinged against the wall, and saw you!

"You have these sharp metal claws on your fingers!" The h/c remembers the pit of her stomach turning and twisting. "I-I tried calling out to you, to snap y-you out of it! But you only kept attacking me!" Y/n once again had tears falling down her cheeks, staining them once more. She turned her head towards the wall, unable to see Armin. "You asked me who I was. I told you I-I... I was your lover. I was backed against a wall and you had a claw at my neck.... You... You said... that you never h-had a l-l-lover!" She was cut off by a sob once more. This time, she couldn't regain herself. Y/n let out loud sobs as she remembers the emotionless look on "Armin's" face. More importantly what he told you.

I'm gonna kill Jean after this, Armin swore, feeling slightly angry at fricken horse-face. This scene was based on a movie they watched with Jean. It wasn't a very calm one to say the least. Y/n hated live action movies, especially ones that are gory. Jean used this as his advantage and, well, pranked her.

Needless to say, she was obviously scared.

Armin nuzzles into the top of his lover's head, leaving small kisses every once in a while. Once Y/n quiet down her sobs, he decided to speak.

"I could never hurt you, Y/n/n."

He could feel his significant other move, so that she was facing him. The blond glanced over at Y/n before resuming to stroking her hair.

"Y/n, I can't ever think of harm you," He spoke sincerely. "I can't ever think that because I love you so much. " He wiped out Y/n's tears and gave off a small smile. "You mean so much to me, love."

Y/n remained silent, but that didn't matter as she was eventually comfortable with Armin getting closer. He lay down next to her with one hand underneath his head while the other holding her hand.

"Please remember that, Y/n, I love you. You're too precious to be harmed."

Y/n found Armin's voice very soothing, almost like a lullaby. She felt her eyelids grow heavy. Before she was off in dreamworld, she whispered an I love you to Armin, to which caused Armin to bring her in for a closer embrace.

Soon enough, she fell back asleep.

And Armin followed after her
