Book Worm ((Eren x Armin))

Friends?

Eren's POV:

The blue-eyed, blonde I saw was talking to me! I couldn't believe myself. His voice was so sweet and tender, so caring and delicate. The structure of his body looked fragile, like he hadn't eaten for a while. "Um...are you still with me here?" He shifted his head around and looked at me to make sure I was still paying attention. Shaking my head out of thought I mumble, "Yeah, haha sorry Armin...Anyways are you new here I haven't ever seen you here before..." I smiled still recovering from my thoughts.

A few moments after he stopped studying my eyes he answers back, "Yes I am new here...I just moved here because my Dad got the job as the principal here..." Armin didn't seem too impressed about the whole thing. The blue in his eyes shifted to the ground as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Wait- You mean Mr. Smith?" My curiosity spoke a little too quickly and it seemed as if I upset him. "S-sorry for asking so quickly..." He shook his head contentedly and looked back at me with a smile, "I'm his adopted son!"

Sarcasm filled his voice like he hated his father. I stood there a little shocked at the fact, my curiosity growing stronger towards Armin. I wanted to ask him to come over but before I could ask he threw it out on the table, "Would you like to come over? For pizza and a movie maybe? I mean-! If you don't want to I understand!" He looked at me like he was finally making a friend for the first time. A smile curled across my lips, "Sure, why not?" Armin's face lit up at my words and he threw a hand in the air, fist pumping in glee.

Armin's POV:

Happiness overwhelmed my body at the word, "sure". Quickly taking his wrist, I dragged him down the hall, "Can we be friends? I have never had a friend before!" Eren seemed to smile when I asked him. I heard a small "yes" come from behind me as we got out to where Erwin picked me up after the end of the day. He usually waited until I finished reading, wherever I can in the school. Pulling Eren over to the car, I opened the door and he sat in the back with me. "Good afternoon Armin, who is this?" Erwin asked me cautiously. A bright smile filled my face, "This is Eren! He is a friend!" Eren looked at me, happy to see that I was excited.

Erwin turned on the car and started to drive home, "Hi Eren, I am Erwin. Nice to meet you..." Eren nods and studies me as I clutch my book to my chest.

We lived in a small rancher in a neighbourhood that consisted of younger adults, which bugged me. Yes, it was wooded behind our house, but there was always loud music and parties. And if I were to ever have a party it would only be me staying up all night watching my favourite animes, or reading manga until two in the morning.

"What kind of movies do you like Eren?" I ask, shifting my head over to look at Eren. "Umm... I like horrors or action/adventure, what about you?" My face lit up at the question. Being asked by another person felt amazing for some odd reason. "I like anything pretty much!" Erwin glanced back at us, letting us know we were home. Opening the door to the car, both me and Eren got out. Erwin unlocked the front door as Eren pointed out, "Why not we watch a horror since it is close to halloween?" I nodded my head quickly as we walked in and dropped our bags at the front door.
