Armin and Eren are classmates that rarely ever interact until one day Armin needs to help Eren study. Neither of them are very fond of each other until they come to realize that they aren't all that different.

Armin Arlert never thought he would lay eyes on Eren Jeager ever again, but he's sitting right in front of him. Armin is working in photography and is searching for new models. Along the way he runs into old acquaintances. Good and bad. His life will forever be changed. || Credit to the artists of the fanart and to Attack On Titan Completed January 29, 2021!

FEB 2025 UPDATE: Hey everyone! I'm sorry for disappearing off the face of the earth for like a year and a half... When I originally decided to rewrite this fanfic, I was a senior in high school and was more focused on completing my studies than I was on this, especially after I got a job. I did get promoted to a manager a year later and I'm now juggling being a full-time student as well as a manager, so I'm busy almost every single day, which is why I haven't updated this fanfic in so long. HOWEVER!! I'm going to put all of my chapters into a Google doc to motivate me to finish rewriting this when I have the time (since I do go to Google docs a lot to write for school and seeing this fanfic there will remind me that I need to finish it) because it is a hot mess and I know I have a few people wishing to read the finished version. So sorry for the long wait! (I didn't update during winter break mostly because even though I didn't have school, since I'm a manager I was at work every single day from around 2 PM to 1 AM so I was a lil busy... but also I forgot about this for a bit. SORRY </3) Thank you for your patience, and thank you for reading! - odttuli <33 September 2023 update: Hey guys! Thank you so much for reading this :) I'm rewriting the story today and I hope you enjoy the new version. It will be the same storyline, but it'll be a bit longer. I'm also cleaning up the dialogue and language so they're more advanced than what I wrote when I was 15 :) Hope you enjoy!

Love? It's a foreign concept to Eren Jaeger. That is until he realizes his feelings for his childhood best friend, Armin Arlert. Will their journey to love together be a straight path? Or will misfortune, another love interest, and tragedy get in their way?
