''Ever wondered what it's like to..I don't know..Fly?''

Armin was standing on the bed, his arms spread out fluttering ever so gracefully and slowly with his eyes shut as a smile grew across his face. Levi, who was wrapped in the duvet with the only visible trace of his existence being his face, stared up at the blond, eyebrows raised. 

Then Armin did the most hilarious and random sudden thing know to Levi's existence. 

Armin took off from the edge of the king sized bed, flapping his delicate yet long arms like a newborn bird trying to figure out it's wings and how they functioned from observing it's parents, added with a loud high-pitched squawk here and there until he landed with a thud on his hands and knees. Levi leaned over to the edge of the bed, eyes slightly widened as a brow cocked up and mouth slightly open. 

''...And just what in the Satan's ass possessed you to do that now, child?'' Armin was sprawled out on the floor in an endless fit of giggles...Until he snorted really loudly. Weirdly enough, Levi snorted back and Armin snorted again and Levi snorted even louder with a ''Moo'' at the end which set Armin right off again giggling. He eventually got back up, holding his sides from laughing and flopped back onto the bed in front of his King. Levi plopped himself over Armin and it went silent for about ten seconds until Levi did the loudest nerdiest snort ever which send them both laughing hysterically. 

They came to a pause when they started to hear birds from the nearby trees outside singing and calling to one another. They both got up and sat by the window and watched them converse and some take off to the sky and land on branches around the tree. Armin sighed a little sad but smiled, ''It..It must be so amazing..To be up there, y'know?'' he looked up to Levi as he nodded in reply with a low ''Mmm..''. Birds had the ability to fly everywhere, anywhere. Migrate from one place to another. Humming birds hovered over beautiful flowers with their slender beaks, sucking up all the sweetness their little bodies could hold. Seagulls, although annoying to some context, were able to glide across the sea, Armin's most treasured place. They could fly for miles. Tropical birds throughout the rain forest displayed with the most unique feathers and colours would shine in the sunlight as the little droplets of water rolled off them.

Birds. They were able to rise. Rise up, anywhere. The wind collected underneath them as they flapped about dancing in the sky from dusk till dawn.

Armin thought to himself then looked to Levi once more. ''You'd be a crow!'' Levi looked down with a puzzled face, tilting his head to the left. ''Wh-..What. Why a crow?'' Armin stretched and smirked. ''Well...Well because they're quite..mysterious and dark but unique. Sure they make a kinda scary noise but just imagine that's you swearing'' Armin chuckled at the thought of Levi as a crow, swearing loud squawks that would scare other birds he flew past without reason. Levi nipped Armin's earlobe which caused him to stop laughing and let out a shaky moan. Armin blushed and looked away as Levi breathed onto the side of his neck. ''Oh yeah? What would you be then?''

A moment of silence broke out once more until...


''A majestic fucking Eagle!''

They both busted a gut laughing. The image that appeared in Levi's mind was a golden Bald Headed Eagle with a little blond bowl-cut hairstyle just helplessly screaming due to god knows what. It was probably Eren-who would be a dog- chasing after him. This sent Levi from laughing to wheezing and eventually he snorted, not on purpose this time. It was adorable as fuck. ''See, told you to stop smoking..'' Armin chimed as he winked at Levi who frowned and replied ''The only thing I put in my mouth is food, drink and occasionally, your dick.'' This shut Armin up and made him blush once more with a little shy giggle. This brought them both back to staring at the birds in awe.

Armin couldn't help but really wish he was a bird or he could just turn into one whenever he wanted and see the city from bird's-eye view. Then to the sea during a Sunset or Sundown, watching the Sun slowly slide itself into the horizon line or reach out to the morning. If it rained, he would want to fly as high as possible to touch the rainbow, from one side to the other..Or try to at least.

That was a dream worth reaching for. His dream was to fly above the sea. 

His dream was to fly over the rainbow.
