I'm thinking this might be an oneshot, and that if I think it's not complete crap I'll upload it.

Eren knew Mikasa was in another genre of books, because he couldn't feel her hovering presence. Not that he was angry about that, he was just.. well, maybe he was annoyed, but not angry. He had the cane! He knew how to use it!

After the accident, his adopted sister had become almost smothering. Eren knew that she was concerned about him, but following him around the house was almost too much. Mikasa had been reluctant enough to let him wander the Braille section of the library.

His fingers skimmed over the book spines slowly to read the letters he was just getting used to "seeing."

It was slow going, learning a whole new alphabet that he couldn't see. It was slow learning to navigate based off the stupid sound of where the wall was. It was slow finding his face when he ate. Slow when trying to not knock over his damn glass!

He paused, fingers curling in and away from the book spines as he heard the soft tap of another cane meandering closer to his aisle.

A little sigh greeted him as the other person walked between the shelves Eren stood in.

Should he greet this other person?

"Ah.. Hello.." A small intake of breath. He had startled them.

"Oh! I hadn't heard you in here!" A young man.

He hadn't expected him to. Eren had held his breath, trying to be as quiet as possible.

"My name's Armin. What's yours?"


Well, that wasn't so bad. Review, if you would, please.
