"I can't do this." Armin cried, hands up to his face as tears escaped his eyes. Everyone was counting on him to come up with a plan to save Eren but his mind was a blank. The harder he tried to think, the more confused he got. It was making everything to much for him.

He leaned his back up against the wall in the empty hallway. He had just left the meeting and had run as far as he could before he collapsed in a heavy heat. "What am I supposed to do?" He whispered to himself again.

"Armin? Are you okay?" He whipped his head up at the new sounding voice, seeing one of the other soldiers. A boy by the name of [name], who was quite quiet and brooding so the fact that he was talking to him, surprised him. "Armin?"

"Huh?" Armin shook his head, brain still rather foggy. "I'm, uh, I'm fine." He said as more tears streamed down his face.

[name] frowned, slowly walking over to the other boy and sliding down the wall next to him. Armin looked at him surprised, waiting for him to say something but was only met with silence. When [name] noticed him staring he said, "I'm not going to pressure you to talk, so I'll just sit here until you're ready and if you do not wish to talk, you can tell me to go away."

Armin opened and closed his mouth for a second, cheeks tinting red. "I-I don't want you to go away." He mumbled, glancing down at the ground when [name] looked over at him. "I don't know what to say."

"You can say whatever you want or you can say nothing at all. I won't judge."

Armin gazed at the boy, taking the opportunity when he wasn't looking. His white hair with the tips of black. He was one of the better looking soldiers but whenever someone would flirt with him, he would reject them. There was a lot of gossip surrounding him. "I'm an idiot. That's what's wrong."

[name] turned his head, looking at him. "What makes you say that?"

"There's so many people counting on me and... there's nothing I can do. I'm going to let so many people down, including my best friend." He felt the tears come back. "I just wish I could think."

[name] knew exactly what he was talking about, seeing as he was in the same meeting. "This all just happened. You haven't had any time to think and yes, there are people counting on you but that's because they know you can do it. There's many people around here willing to help. You're not alone."

That was the most Armin had ever heard him talk. He let his words slowly sink in. They comforted him but he still felt a sense of dread. "What if I can't think of anything?"

[name] sighed, "than you can't think of anything."

"No!" Armin cried out, pulling his knees up and wrapping his arms around them. His sobs grew louder and his shoulders shook.

[name]'s eyes widened, quickly get up on his knees and kneeling down in front of the blonde haired boy. "I'm so bad at comforting people." He mumbled before placing his hands on either side of Armin's head, lifting it up. "Look at me. I'll be here to help you, okay? I'm pretty smart myself. You are not alone." His hands slid from the side of Armin's head to his cheeks.

Armin's breathing stopped as he looked into those eyes. Those eyes that so many people had fallen for. He could see why they did. "Thank you." His still shaking hands lifted, resting them over the ones of his cheeks.

[name] was never one to get nervous. His was rather stoic but he could see how nervous Armin was and he could see the way the blonde glanced at his lips, an obvious want in his eyes. [name] remained still, curious as to what Armin would do. If he would act of his want or if he would recoil. [name] wouldn't do anything to persuade him.

"You're really sweet." Armin said, unconsciously biting his lip. A lot of rumours about him, said he was rude and mean. A person you wouldn't want to be friends with but Armin could see all those were wrong. "Thank you again, for making me feel better."

"I'm not very good at human interactions but I guess I have my moments." [name] smiled. The first smile that Armin had ever seen him have.

"You have a really nice smile." The comment slipped but before Armin could regret in, [name]'s smile widened even more.

"Thank you." [name] looked down and when his head lifted again, Armin surged forward, connecting their lips, in a hard kiss. It had caught him off guard for a second, not expecting for Armin to surge forward like that.

"I'm sorry!" Armin exclaimed when they pulled away, his eyes wide in embarrassment and fear. "I'm so so sorry." He snapped up, running away.

[name] was quick to follow, not going to let Armin get away that easily. He reached up to him easily, grabbing his arm and spinning him around, moving him so his back was against the wall and he didn't let him speak before he was kissing him again, arms wrapped tightly around him.

Armin squeaked before his eyes slowly shut and his arms wove around [name]'s neck, trying to pull him even closer. Their bodies pressed tightly together. "You didn't think I'd let you get away that easily, did you?" He said, placing kisses down Armin's neck.

Armin shivered, goosebumps popping up on his arms. "I-I didn't think you'd like me back."

"You thought wrong." [name] breathed out, sliding his hands up and down the sides of the others body.

"Excuse me." A voice that didn't belong to either of them spoke harshly.

The two boys jumped apart from each other. "S-Sorry." Armin's whole face was red as he looked at Levi Ackerman, who was looking between them with a frown, not expecting to see the guy he was in love with making out with Armin Arlert.

"Sorry Cap." [name] said, completely unapologetically. It's not like he knew how Levi felt about him. "We'll get out of here." He reached down and grabbed Armin's hand, pulling the giggling boy with him.
