Eremin One Shots

Don't touch me... please

Spoilers for season 3!

This one shot is based after Armin got sexually harassed. This one shot isn't at all graphic, just sad and might be triggering for others.

Eren's POV

"Armin... that perv really messed with your head..."

Something about what Jean said was bothering me... did that perv affect Armin more than he said?... Armin has been acting different lately... and he's a lot more quiet...

Maybe I should ask him about it?

Yeah... I'll do that.

I searched for him, and after a while I found him.

"Oh... hi, Eren." He said, smiling at me weakly.

I looked at him worriedly. "Hey... are you okay?"

He hesitated. "Yeah, I'm fine."

I examined him, looking at his body language. It looked uncomfortable. He had his arms wrapped around himself and he looked stiff.

I slowly walked closer to him. He noticed this and took a step back, watching me closely.

I continued to walk closer, then once I was a close distance, I reached to touch his arm but he flinched away.

My eyes widened at that.

"U-Um... I should... get going..." he said shakily, turning away and starting to walk but I quickly grabbed his wrist and held him back.

He gasped and tensed, turning his head away and squeezing his eyes shut with fear. He was terrified.

"Armin..."

"P-Please, Eren... let me go..." he cried.

He was crying...

"It's just me..." I said softly, softening my grip on his wrist.

"Don't touch me... please..." he cried.

My mouth was agape, and my eyes were widened. Tears reached the surface of my eyes.

"Did that perv really affect you this much?" I asked worriedly.

He started to tremble, crying silently. "P-Please..."

I quickly and swiftly pulled him into me, hearing a gasp come from his mouth. I wrapped my arms tightly around him.

He tried to escape my arms but I wouldn't let him.

"No! Let me go!" He cried.

"It's okay, Armin... I'm right here... I won't hurt you..." I said softly.

He soon stopped fighting me and became still.

"I won't let him touch you again."

He started to sob loudly, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Make it stop, Eren... Please... make it stop... it hurts..." he cried.

"It's going to be okay... you'll get through this..." I whispered.

I felt guilty for not being there for him... I could've saved him...

"Don't leave me... I don't want to be alone..." he cried, trembling harshly in my arms.

"I won't ever leave you. I will be here by your side no matter what."

He dug his head in my neck and continued to cry. I held him tightly and made sure he felt safe.
