25 year old Jean Kirstein took up a job at the a fairly local, warn down coffee shop called The Maria Cafe. 18 year old Armin Arlert moved into town a few weeks ago and was still learning the basics of the place. One day he wandered around his neighborhood to stubble upon a cute, little coffee shop called The Maria Cafe. Over time the two began to spark up conversation about the weather. Poor Armin, after having his heart violently ripped out and shredded to pieces, he falls for this tall, adorable cashier. Jean, however, doesn't particularly take notice of the little blonde's feelings. Since they were basically best friends now, Armin and Jean spent the night at an old apartment building complex, drinking and daring one another. Until day break, however... WARNING: There is mentioning of self harm and possible suicide. So if you are sensitive to either, do not read. CONTAINS YAOI: Which is boy x boy. If you need anymore clarification it means that this story is about two gay guys. So if your homophobic, or are uncomfortable with the idea, please close out of this description and continue with your day. Thank you :)

Armin lives alone away from his family, in a quiet building. One day a new neighbour moves in and the quietness is broken by noisy parties. However, the 'party boy' ends up being more friendly than Armin would expect. And for Jean, Armin becomes an enigma he wants to solve. But both boys have a past, and what beguins as a usual encounter develops in something much deeper, something that may heal wounds or spread salt on them. This is not a high school love story, this has some serious matter treated here. Don't expect a shy and girly Armin, nor a 'bad boy' Jean. This is kind of different, I hope.

(AU) Underneath the noses of the (SPD) Shiganshina Police Department, gangs organize crimes secretly under one teenager's directions. Armin Arlert is a very smart 17 year old who knows how to get what he wants and when to keep his emotions in check. But there's also a part of him that never wanted to become a crime lord. The position had been passed down through generations with high expectations, how could he turn it down? No one, besides his close friends, know that even though he is surrounded by people who would willingly lay down their lives for him, Armin feels alone. How will he deal with the people that want to take him down? ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------This is my first AOT/SNK fanfic, so I encourage criticism but no trolls please-----
