Spending his birthday in Trost with Eren, Mikasa, and Armin was a very pleasant surprise for Y/n. 

Normally people wouldn't do much for someone's birthday around camp, but Y/n had done something for all his friends birthdays.

Taking Y/n into town was Eren's idea. 

Armin thought that it was a terrific idea and was completely on board, saying that it would be terrible thing not to do something for him, while also feeling a little foolish that he hadn't thought about it yet.

Feeling the exact same way as them, Mikasa gave a simple nod in agreement to the plan.

Though he did a lot for his friends, Y/n never expected anything in return, making kind gestures like this all the more wholesome to him.

Most of the day was spent taking Y/n into various shops and buying treats and clothes for him, no matter how much he tried to protest or politely decline. 

Despite Y/n trying to decline, he loved every gift that they got for him and made sure to thank them profusely. 

They had bought him a purple hoodie which he liked very much and was currently wearing, yet he wasn't going to wear it with his uniform out of a silly fear that his hood would get caught on a tree branch during Odm training and break his neck, but being anywhere else he was most definitely going to wear it, plus he always liked Annie's hood.

"Do you want some help, Mikasa?" Y/n spoke up, looking over his shoulder, staring at Mikasa carrying two boxes full of stuff that they got for him.

"I'm fine." Replied Mikasa blankly, not even phased by the weight of the boxes but still appreciating the offer.

"Are you sure? I could-" Offered Y/n, but was interrupted.

"Trust me, Y/n." Eren butted in. "She won't her change her mind." 

Still wanting to help but knowing that Mikasa wouldn't give in, Y/n heeded Eren's advise and conceded. Besides, Mikasa was very strong and didn't need his help anyway.

One thing that was off-putting for everyone was Armin had began to lag behind and was being unusually quiet.

Eren started to have enough of it and slowed down to ask him what was wrong. "Hey Armin, what's on your mind? You okay?"

"Don't worry. I'm fine!" Armin started to feign cheerfulness which Eren easily spotted.

"Don't give me that, we have the entire week off! If you're not happy there must be a reason!" Eren hit the nail on the head. He had known Armin for a long time and could read his emotions fairly well.

Armin stopped walking then let out a defeated sigh, causing Mikasa and Y/n to turn around and await the reasoning as well.

"I don't want to ruin Y/n's birthday." Armin tried deflect, not wanting to kill the mood of his friends birthday.

"That's kind of you but I really don't mind. I'd rather have you feeling better." Y/n tried to comfort with his words. He really didn't like seeing people sad.

Listing to Y/n's rather kind statement and letting out another sigh, Armin caved and told his friends exactly what was going on. 

"My girlfriend broke up with me..." Admitted Armin with clear sadness in his voice while looking down at the concrete sidewalk.
