1. Promise me

I felt only the hot tears that ran down my face. Dammit I told myself why am I so useless...I could not even defeat one of them. I choked up trying to hold back my crying but it just keep flowing out like a raging river. A river of my regret... I thought coming out here on the rooftop would help me calm down and feeling the cool breeze and looking at the setting sky would relax me but I could not stop the flood of my own tears. I whimpered slightly until I felt something brush up against my cheek. I looked over to Eren licking his finger he then processed to smiled.

" ...saltly" he uttered looking up at the clouds.

" Eren" I muttered with embarrassment averting my eyes away from him. We both just sat there Eren said nothing but I was to stifled to look at him.

" Armin what's wrong?" he said in what seemed as dazed tone.

" I...its nothing" I chocked out still not daring to look his way. Warm breath started beating against my cheek so with a jerk I looked.

I screaked and fall to my back to see to my surprise the dark hair boy face so close to mine. My face flushed as he crawled over me hovering on top of me.

" Armin why wont you tell me what's wrong" he questioned me looked down into my eyes .

" it's nothing I don't want to talk about it" I said pushing him off me and siting back up whipping my eyes.

I took a deep breath trying to clear my thoughts waiting for what he would say next ..or do to me next.

" It's OK you don't have to tell me any thing your uncomfortable with right now ... I know it's hard" he sighed creasing my shoulder.

I took another breath looking up at the orange fading horizon. In that moment we just look at this world together... It was calming yet one of the rare beauty we get to experience in this crude life we live.

" Armin?"

" yeah Eren?"

" I actually came up here to tell you something" he said leaning his head on my shoulder his soft hair brushing up onto my cheek.

" yeah?" I said said still enjoying the moment we are sharing.

" Promise me ...That we have to see this whole world together. Now that we're in the survey corp that we can go out of the wall. That we can't die because I want to see the the ocean with you...the world with you I want to protect you" Eren voice was strong but gentil as he spoke. I could only smile hearing all this.

" I promise" I said still smiling.

Eren then lifted himself up and reached a hand out to me. I gestured it away and looked up at him.

" I want to stay here just a little longer" I said looking to the setting sun. He smiled and started walking away.

"Armin you did what you could sometimes you can't save everyone and it's OK because you saved me and a whole lot of others...just want to thank you for it. Well don't stay out here for too long" he said climbing back down into the building.

" yeah I know Eren" only looking up as I uttered those few words.
