Attack on Titan Fanfiction Book 2

Attack on Titan: Armin Arlert as the Amazing Spider Man - Part 2

The School day was over, and Armin was on his way home. Armin constantly found himself scratching at his spider bite in irritation. The lab workers reassured Armin that he should be fine, that the spider was non-toxic. But now he wasn't so sure...

But he forced himself to quit scratching since he didn't want to infect the bite. Also, he would hate to give his parents a panic attack or worst-- a heart attack over a simple spider bite. I mean, that's all it is. A mere bite, so how bad could it be?

Armin timidly grabbed for his house keys once he made it to the door. He plucks it into the knob before turning it. He lightly swings the door open with a small push. Upon stepping right in, warm hot steam swept right past him. The house smelt like heaven...

"Hey Mom. Hi Dad. Armin smiled as he walked himself through the entrance of the kitchen to greet his parents. "Oh, hey baby! Is my baby finally home?!" Squealed Armin's mother in both joy and excitement before abandoning her cooking to only scoop up her son in a tight, warm hug,

Armin couldn't help but to chuckle with a big grin smeared across his face. "How was the field trip?" Armin's mother asked. "Nobody bullied you, did they?" Armin's father asked next.

For Armin's entire childhood, he was able to conceal the fact that he's been bullied and abused by kids on the street and at school from his parents. Always it was only Eren and Mikasa who knew about it. Armin always begged Eren and Mikasa to never tell his parents and grandfather about the issue he was dealing with. And they kept their word.

But eventually, Armin began getting pummeled by his bullies more frequent than usual, and it was impossible to keep this a secret from his family for any longer, seeing how his bruises and limping became more and more noticeable.

Once Armin's mother, father, and grandfather learnt of Armin's problem with being bullied both physically and through words, they have become over protective and paranoid over his safety.

But despite that, they do their best to give him the space and amount of freedom that he deserves. He after all, is becoming an adult now. And with Eren and Mikasa always constantly by his side, he is in safe hands. And he knows how to protect himself as well.

"Don't worry, Dad. I'm fine." Armin smiled sheepishly. "Really? No scratches? No bruises?" Armin's mother had both her hands cupping Armin's face, checking each crooney of his face. "Y-Yes, mom. I'm fine. Don't worry." Armin smiled.

"But how can I not worry? I'm your mother. And it's a mother's job to worry about their child!" Armin's mother replies. Armin sits his backpack down and his mother pretty much had dinner done and ready at this point. Tonight's meal was italian spaghetti and garlic breadsticks. Armin's mother makes the works, that much is certain.

While eating the spaghetti dinner together as a family, Armin couldn't help but to every once in a while, scratch at his bite on his neck. It just kept irritating him more and more...

"Honey, you okay?" Armin's mother asked. "Y-Yeah, I'm fine. Just... a bug bite." Armin explained. After receiving that answer, his parents didn't say much of anything else concerning the bite except a warning to not scratch or rub the bite or it will only get worse. But Armin already knows that. But even so, it's hard to ignore.

After dinner Armin heads upstairs to his room along with his bookbag. He drops off his bag before making a trip to the bathroom to use some bug repellent/guard that is basically a lotion that you can put on any bug bite, and in time, it should heal and the itchiness, along with the bite itself, should go away.

But even after using the bug repellent/guard the constant irritation would NOT go away! The lotion didn't even seem to do any good. If anything, it made the bite worse than it already was.

"Damn it..." Armin curses under his breath as he returned to his room, closing shut the door behind him. The spider bite he received earlier was driving him CRAZY!! Armin never curses, he is one of the most politest kids you'll ever know.

But hanging around his best friend Eren all the time, he has learned more than a word or two from him. And trust me... the words Armin has heard fly out of the Yeager's mouth was anything but pleasant.

Armin never, and I mean NEVER curses. But right here and now... he felt it necessary. I mean, this is a crisis he's dealing with here! He will never shout or scream a cursed word unless a maniac with a chainsaw is running after him, but when he does use a fowl word, he will mutter or murmur it so quietly, you'll barely hear him. You probably wouldn't even be able to comprehend what the heck he even whispered!

Armin is a smart young man. He knows what to do and what not to do. But right now... at this very moment... he could care less about the facts and the boundaries. He NEEDS to scratch the daylights out of that bug bite! Even if it's the last thing he does!

So Armin scratches and scratches the bug bite as if in hopes, the more he scratches, the quicker it will go away. But of course, he knows that isn't true. But still...

He scratched and he scratched, and he scratched, scratched... until out of nowhere an aching pain seizes his body and he collapses to the floor. "I knew I shouldn't have scratched that bite..." Armin whimpered before passing out cold.
