Guy's you should check out her stories she has, they are really good, I love them and most of you will too. I have also been meaning to write Snk fanfics but I haven't got around to them but here I am. Enjoy! \ (*0*) /
Armin, and Eren have been best friends since they were years went by and the year 850 came and the first titan attack happened since they've been alive. Eren's mom was killed, causing Eren to want to join the military. His plan was to join the survey corps and kill all the titans. Armin on the other hand had it worse than Eren. He was bullied by all other kids except for Eren and Mikasa, they were the ones protecting him. Really the case was Eren protecting Armin, and Mikasa was protecting Eren. And to this day Eren is still protecting Armin.
"Armin, Levi Heichou want's you in his office for a sec. Let's go. I don't want to piss him off." Eren came through the door with this dreadful information to Armin.
"Wait why, did I do something wrong, please I hope not, I don't want to be executed." Armin said quickly and started to hyperventilate and he started to loose his color from his face. This caught the attention of Eren and he quickly went over and put a hand on Armin's back. He started to rub his back until his breathing regulated then they started to walk down the corridor to Levi's office.
After a few minutes of walking, they finally made to his office. Eren was about to open the door but Armin tugged on his shirt, and bit his lip. "Eren, I'm a little afraid, and I think you should knock first. He has rights to his privacy too Eren. Just knock first, please." Armin said with puppy eyes. Eren couldn't help the blush that crept onto his face, so he quickly said okay then turned away to knock.
"Come in." They heard Levi's voice through the door and Eren walked in through the door and Armin let go of Erens shirt. Armin was staring down at the ground while he saluted to the captain. "Arlert, look up to your superiors when saluting, get with the program." He said with that signature cold glare.
"I'm sorry sir." Armin said and looked into his eyes.
"And you, Eren, you are a mess, clean yourself up after I'm done with you two here." Levi said with a hint of disgust. "Tch, well anyways, I want to discuss with you two our plans for the next expedition outside the walls. So, first I want to tell you the meaning of this expedition. It's purpose is to venture farther out than usual then take a different path than the one we usually take to get to The Forest of the Big Trees. So Arlert, you are in charge of getting extra gas for those who are coming on this mission and it's a tight group of them, taking too many on an unknown route is way too dangerous. Jeager, you need to-" He was cut off by Armin.
"Please sir, I'm sorry for interrupting but will Eren be in my group? Please tell me he's in my group because as you may have already discovered, I get nervous breakdowns, unless Eren is there to help me. Please sir." Armin practically begged him.
"Fine, fine, just don't cause any problems for him, Jeager. Got that?" He shot at them.
"Wait what, I don't cause trouble I-" he stopped immediately when he caught sight of the deadly glare. "Sorry sir." He apologized.
"Oh and Arlert?" He started again.
"Yes?" He questioned with a quivery voice.
"Good call that you made before your idiot friend here almost barged in. I would have strangled him to death, just like you said. And there was no need to be scared , you've never done anything wrong here. Now go, I'm done. Don't discuss this with anyone got that, or you will both die at my hand." He seemed really deadly now.
"Got it, Heichou!" They both saluted and walked out. Armin sighed in relief one Eren closed the door. "I thought for sure that I was getting in trouble for being weak or something."
"No Armin, he's not evil, plus you have the brains we need." Eren explained and then put his forehead to Armin's, "Don't worry, everyone needs you on this team, you are not weak, you are considered a valuable member." Then Eren pulled him into an embrace and wiped away a single tear in his eye, then moved his hand down Armin's face and just held it there. Armin put his hand on top of Eren's for warmth and comfort, then they started to walk to the mess hall for dinner.
Once they got in, they found their normal spots, and Mikasa was already sitting there looking pissed and worried at the same time. She spotted them and growled. "Was it that shorty? He kept you so long didn't he! Grrr, I'll kill him in his sleep, I hate Levi!" She hissed loud enough for the two to hear her. "What did he want anyways?" She asked rather impatiently like they'd done something wrong.
"It's nothing important Mikasa, we're safe here Eren's unharmed, he didnt' even get out of his desk." Armin calmed Mikasa down knowing that Eren would have just made it worse. "Let's eat."
After dinner the everyone went to there rooms, Armin and Eren share a room of course therefore they were walking together. Eren was exhausted so he went in took off his pants and shirt and boxers, right in front of Armin and went to turn on the bath water. "Hurry up Armin, I want to take a quick bath today and go to sleep." Eren said in a rushed tone to Armin.
"Okay, okay Eren, I'm coming. Jeez" Armin exclaimed while stripping down for the bath they shared every night. Most days they take longer baths, but probably not today. Armin grabbed both of their towels kept them neat and folded up and carried them to the bathroom. When he saw that Eren was already sitting in the filling tub he giggled. "Eren, you are very funny you know that? Haha." Armin complimented Eren's childishness and Eren just giggled back.
"Armin get in the tub, it's warm, but first can you pass me the soap because I wanna take a bubble bath, and I know how much you like bubble baths right?" Eren tempted Armin to get in the bath quicker.
"Okay, okay I'm going faster." He said and grabbed the bar of soap and the bottle of soap. He poured some soap in and put it back on the counter and they watched the bath fill with bubbles. He stepped into the tub and sat down across from Eren. The tub wasn't that big so their legs intertwined. "Eren, you know, we've been doing this since we were kids and this never gets old, why is that?" Armin questioned.
"Because it is something we've grown accustom to, and can never get old. Haha." Eren explained to his bubble covered friend. Then he grabbed him and spun him around and sat him in between his legs at first, to wash his back. Then they flipped positions and they did the same. Armin always had Eren wash him up, and Eren would wash most of himself except for his back, because he couldn't reach. So now Eren pulled Armin into his lap and started to wash his body.
"Eren, you are tickling me, haha, I can't bear it, hahahahaha." Then Armin tickled Eren back and they were both bubbly and laughing. Once they stopped, Eren leaned back and Armin laid on top of him and Eren rubbed Armin's back. Armin looked up and saw that Eren had fallen asleep. "Oh, silly Eren, you can't sleep here you will drown." Armin said while draining the tub then wrapped the towel around his waist and tied his hair up. Then he leaned down to dry Eren off and carry him to the bed. He was surprisingly light, no trouble for Armin there. Eren was dead sleep because Armin was able to put his clothes on and Eren's clothes on him without Eren even stirring from his sleep. He put Eren under the covers and Armin climbed in next to him and tucked the both of them in. "Sweet dreams Eren." Armin said quietly then wrapped his arm around Eren. Usually Armin would sleep in Eren's arms. Armin thought and thought about Eren, then he leaned over and kissed his forehead. "Thank you Eren, you mean a lot to me." Armin said a bit louder thinking he was still asleep.
"You mean a lot to me too Armin, I love you." Eren said then pecked Armin's lips, and a deep blush spread across Armin's face and he shyly smiled.
"I love you too Eren, I love you a lot." Eren kissed Armin again except more passionately. Then when he broke away, he put Armin on top of him and wrapped his arms around Armin's tiny frame. Occasionally Eren would run his hands through Armin's hair or over his back. He did this until they were both asleep. "See you in the morning, Armin." Eren said, but he was already sleep.
Well how was it. This is just chapter one, I don't write one-shots unless specifically told to. But yeah, I like this and I hope you all will too. Especially you Tamaki. Thank you this was fun to write.
