It started quietly, shared notes, late-night study sessions, small smiles that lasted a little too long. Armin Arlert wasn't supposed to mean anything more than a friend. But somewhere between rainy mornings and unspoken words, he became the person you couldn't stop thinking about. He listens when no one else does. He notices when you're hurting. And everytime he looks at you, it feels like he's seeing straight through the walls you swore no one could break. Every moment feels like its balancing on the edge of something more. And the scariest part? You can't tell if he feels it too, or if you're the only one falling.

There's a wing in the Arlert Library filled with things in jars-flowers, insects, fragments of bones. No one looks at them anymore. They just sit there, arranged and labelled, surviving only because someone decided they were worth keeping. Eren would tilt one toward the light, watching how the liquid bends around what's left inside. He wouldn't break it; he'd just want to understand the stillness. Jean would stand there too long, tracing the labels as if names could keep things alive. Maybe that's what we all do-press our palms against the glass, breathe fog onto the surface, and preserve what still holds pieces of us.

Coming back to Trost for college should've felt like a fresh start. Instead, Y/N finds herself tangled in old memories, unfinished feelings, and people who see her differently than she sees herself. Between quiet nights in the library, parties that blur too easily into mistakes, and the weight of secrets no one wants to admit out loud, she learns that growing up isn't clean or kind. It's messy. It hurts. And sometimes, the people you least expect are the ones who keep you standing. ⏔⏔⏔ ꒰ ᧔ෆ᧓ ꒱ ⏔⏔⏔ Bertholdt Hoover x Reader (18+ Will contain Angst, Smut, Drugs, and other Dark & Sensitive topics.)
