Your POV

"I'd like to play one round, please." Armin walked up to the man at the stand. Was Armin trying to win the toy for you? He payed for the round, the man giving him three small bean bags.

"If you can make it through all three of these hoops, you'll get the prize of your choice", the man told him.

Armin looked back and smiled at you. He raised his hand slowly, then launched the bean bag through a hoop! Woah, he's good!

"You got it on your first try!" You laughed and jumped with excitement. Even he couldn't believe it!

"Thanks!" He giggled, then launched another bean bag. It made it again! Finally, he grabbed the last bean bag. Carefully, he threw the bag. This time, it didn't land. You looked at his disappointed face.

"So close, but you didn't make it! Sorry!" The man went to go pick up the bean bags.

"Sorry (Y/N)...I didn't get the doll for you." He looked down at the floor, but all you could do was smile.

"Armin, don't be so upset! It's okay. I'm grateful that you even tried in the first place, so thank you!" You patted him on the back.

"R-really? W-well then, you're welcome!" He looked back up, relieved.

You turned your head to see the whole festival, trying to find a place to eat.

"Hey Armin, I'm kind of hungry. How about you?" He laughed.

"I was about to say the same thing."

You ended up getting some food, and ice cream. Armin's pockets were practically empty.

"I only have a little bit of money left...we can't do much more, I'm sorry." He took his hands out of his pockets.

"It's fine. Look! They're putting on a play! Let's go see it, yeah? We have enough money." You pointed to a stage, not far from where you were.

"Uh, sure. Why not?" You both smiled and walked over to the stage, this time he was pulling you.

Five minutes later, you were sitting down, watching the play. The plot line was simple. There was a girl who lived happily in her village, and she had lots of friends. Then one day, a giant...monster...attacked the village...and her whole family...died. You and Armin immediately turned your heads to each other at this part. You knew what they were basing this off of. Both of you quickly got up and scurried outside.

"How could they make such a story? Nobody wants to remember things like that..." Your voice broke a little and tears began to swell up in your eyes.

"Hey, don't cry. It's not your fault, okay? You're safe." He grabbed you again. He hugged you tightly, and you had flashbacks of when you were on the boat, 5 years ago. 10 year old you in Armin's arms, crying. Just like right now.

When you calmed down, you weren't feeling scared anymore, but you felt...something else? It's an inexplicable feeling. You looked up at Armin, admiring him. You loved those big blue eyes of his, and his long blonde hair. He didn't even seem to notice that you were staring at him. He was just smiling. Without hesitation, you lifted yourself up with your feet, and pecked his cheek. Immediately, he turned red, and slowly looked down upon you, shocked.

"Thank y-"

Before you could even finish your sentence, he pulled you towards him, and he kissed you! But not on the cheek this time. On the lips!

His soft lips gently clashed against yours, as he passionately kissed you. His arms were around your waist, and you had one hand on his neck.

Being as shy as he is, Armin pulled away after a few seconds. Even he looked surprised. You felt your face become hot, and after a few seconds of silence, you both laughed.

"If you were going to give me a kiss, I'd rather it be on my lips." He giggled.

You gasped. Armin's quite bold now, isn't he?

"As you wish." You giggled and quickly pecked him on the lips, one more time.

This action only made both of you blush even more, and Armin just chuckled slightly.

"(Y/N), I've loved you since we were kids..." He gazed upon your eyes.

"I know...I have too." You put a hand on his cheek.

He laughed loudly with joy and picked you up bridal style, making you gasp. As he followed the trail back to camp, you were both giggling and smiling.

Does this mean he's mine?

Hey there! Sorry for the slow updates, I've been a little busy with school lately. Anyways, thanks for reading!
