Attack on Titan Fanfiction Book 2

Attack on Titan: No more Nightmares

I crawled out of bed and I thought hard and long about a certain decision to make or not. Should I....sleep with him....or not? I could not sleep...at all. I almost screamed awake from a terrible nightmare I had....I was sweating all over....

I had another bad dream about almost getting eaten by a Titan again. And everyone I loved got killed and eaten. It was a bloody Nightmare.

In your sleep, whenever you have images like this in your mind, people always calls it a dream. But when terrible things like this happens in them, really, it isn't a dream at all. What it actually is, is a nightmare.

I tried going back to sleep but couldn't. I would only sob when I tried. I was so scared right now, I felt like screaming as loud my lungs could let me....

I couldn't sleep alone....not like this. I want....to sleep with Armin. If I stay in my room like this, I'm 100 % positive that I will NOT fall back to sleep.

I know it's against the policy for at least, a girl and a boy to sleep together in the same room, but....did I even have a choice? My hands and everywhere else is trembling something awful.

I really don't want to disturb Armin from his sleep, but....my nightmares have been getting out of hand as of late. One night, Armin just happened to be passing by my room, when he heard me screaming and wailing, and he rushed in and grabbed me into a hug, trying shush me and calm me of all my fears.

I love Armin, he's so sweet....I wonder if he would mind....? Even if we got caught or got in trouble? I went to the restroom, cleaned off my face, and then I walked over to the door to Armin's room.

Very, very slowly, I tried opening it. I tried opening it slow and quiet enough so the door wouldn't make a sound. But it lets out a loud squeak.

When the light entered his room, I could see Armin laying in his bed, tucked in his covers, fast asleep. He did not even hear the sound of the door squeak. Nor did the light seem to disturb him from his slumber.

He looked so cute and peaceful in his sleep, all tucked in and sleeping there....I could just stand there, watch and aw at him the whole night. But....I really need some proper sleep.

Would I sleep better if I was with someone? Besides being alone? I very slowly closed the door behind me, and I was thus surrounded by complete darkness. All I saw was darkness, I could see nothing else.

As I walked forward a bit, I would be feeling my hands around me, as if reaching out for something to grab hold to, so I would know where I was. And yes, Armin's room is that dark.

But I really wasn't familiar with Armin's room. Have I even been in him room? if so only a few times...

I eventually made it over to his bed and I carefully reached a hand out and found myself tapping gently, onto his shoulder.

"Armin?" I whispered very quietly.

......

No response.

I tap very gently again.

"Armin....?" I whisper once again.

I heard a shift and heard Armin's quiet voice. I was afraid of scaring him. I was afraid he wouldn't recognize who I was in the dark. I was afraid of giving him a fright. But apparently, he recognized my voice.

"K-Kiyomi...? Is that you...?" He said very sleepily. I had to just wake him up from a very nice nap....

"I'm sorry I woke you up." I apologise, instantly feeling bad and slightly regretting my decision.

"It's ok, Kiyomi. What is it?"

"C-Can I....sleep with you?"

"S-Sleep with me?"

There was a moment of silence...

"Did....did you have another nightmare?"

"Y-Yeah...." I answered honestly.

....

"Okay. You can sleep with me. Let's just keep it a secret so neither of us gets into trouble."

"Okay!" I reply and Armin makes room for me in bed, and I find myself snuggling against him.

I was so sleepy and tired, I wasn't thinking straight.

I heard Armin gasp and yelped very quietly in a whisper....

"K-Kiyomi..!"

I'm probably guessing that he's blushing right about now. "Is it....alright for me to stay like this?" I ask, hoping he'll let me stay snuggled against him.

"O...okay." he gave in. I smiled as I snuggled against Armin. He was so warm....warmer than a blanket even? Awesome-- I like warmth. Or more like love.

Before joining the 104th Training Cadets or even joining the Scouts, I used blankets daily. Everyday.

I felt safe with Armin...and almost too soon, my thoughts began to drift away and I began to fall into a deep sleep filled with no more nightmares. Instead of nightmares....sweet dreams replaced them.

The End
