Armin woke up and felt like not getting up. He glanced at his clock, 7:30 am.

"I still got 15 minutes till my alarm clock goes off." Armin closed his eyes. "I'll just...go..back...to..."

Armin started to fall asleep again.

"Where's Armin?" Mikasa asked Eren. "He's going to be late."

"Maybe we should've walked him to school." Eren made a fist.

"You two!"

Eren turned around and saw the principle.

"Get to class!"

"But sir! Our friend-"

"I don't want to hear it! Now get to class!"

"Man...Come one Mikasa let's go. Or we might have detention. You know what happened last time."

Eren and Mikasa ran off.

"Man I slept in late!" Armin ran towards the school. "I should've just stayed up!"

Armin went threw his bag and pulled out his glasses.

"Better!" Armin put them on.

Armin ran threw the hallways and ran into the bathroom. He looked into the mirror and started fixing his hair.

"Running late Arlert?" Matt smiled. "I'm surprised. Or did you want to say hi to me?"

"I don't have time for you Matt!" Armin glanced at Matt.

"Scary!" Matt chuckled. "You know Arlert. Why don't we go for a walk? It looks like it's going to rain. I love rain. Don't you?"

"You should get to class." Armin started walking off but Matt grabbed his arm.

"I think we should go for a walk."

"Let go." Armin frowned. "I'm not playing Matt."

"What are you going to do about it? Huh?"

Armin pulled his hand away from Matt and took off his glasses.

"Getting serious, are we?" Matt started popping his knuckles.

"I'm going to class now." Armin stood there. "Or are you going to stop me?"

Matt grabbed Armin's shirt collar and pulled him close and punched Armin in the face.

"You may have the threatening look but you ain't scaring me." Matt threw another punch to Armin's gut. "I thought you were going to fight back."

Armin quickly grabbed Matt's arm and twisted it back. Mat started crying out in pain.

"Crying?" Armin lightly chuckled. "I'm surprised."

"L-l..let go of me!" Matt shouted.

"Let's make a deal. Leave me alone and I won't break your arm. Deal?"

"Y-your...your crazy." Matt voice was at unease.

"Don't believe me?" Armin slowly twisted his arm.

"Ok ok!" Matt shouted. "Deal!"

Armin let go and put his glasses back on.

"What's going in there?!" A teacher yelled and ran in.

Armin put his hand on his cheek and tried to wipe the blood. The teacher looked at Armin and then Matt.

"Matt." The teacher spoke. "Come with me. Armin go the the nurses office."

"B-but he-"

"Don't make things worse Matt!"

Armin watched the teacher and Matt walk out. As soon as they left Armin fell to the ground, happy, and shocked.

"I finally did it..." Armin eyes started to water. "I can...finally stand up for myself..."

Armin wiped the tears and walked to the nurses office.

At lunch Eren, Mikasa, Jean and Marco were waiting for Armin.

"Did you hear?" Marco looked at everybody. "Matt has been suspended for getting into a fight this morning."

"Yeah." Eren said. "Who hasn't? But...we haven't seen Armin all day either. You don't think that-"

"Hey guys." Armin smiled as he sat down.

Everyone was shocked to see him. Mikasa saw that bruise on his face.

"That bastard!" Eren shouted.

"He did this?" Mikasa asked.

"I swear...if...if I see his face." Jean made fist.

"Guys clam down." Armin whispered. "Everybody is looking."

"I don't care." Jean said. "They can look all they want."

"What happened?" Mikasa asked.

"Well...umm...that's kinda hard to explain." Armin chuckled lightly.

Then Eren glared behind Armin.

"Matt..." Eren said.

Jean and Mikasa turned around and saw his arm was wrapped up. Mikasa then looked at Armin.

Matt walked up to Armin and gestured him to follow him.

"I'll be-"

"Armin your not serious?" Marco asked. "Your going to follow him?"

"Just stay here guys." Armin stood up.

Armin followed him outside and Matt turned around.

"I'm sorry Armin." Matt rubbed the back off his head. "I really am. And here!"

Matt went through his pockets and pulled out his wallet. He then pulled out all the money he had and put it in Armin's hand.

"For all the money I took from you...well not all of it." Matt put his wallet away.

"Matt I can't take this." Armin said. "All I want is for you to stop bullying me."

"Then why didn't you do something be for?"

"Because...violence isn't my thing. But my uncle taught me how to defend for myself. I never used it because...well...because I didn't want to hurt anybody."

Armin looked Matt's arm and looked down.

"Hey don't worry about it! I deserved it! I deserve more pain than this."

Armin took off his glasses.

"Not now I mean!" Matt took two steps back.

"Don't worry." Armin rubbed his eyes. "I'm never going to hurt you again. I shouldn't have done that to you."

"I'm fine!"

Eren saw Armin walk out with Matt.

"Maybe we should follow them just in case." Mikasa stood up.

"Good idea." Eren stood up.

"I'm going to." Jean looked at Marco.

Marco sighed and stood up.

They followed and stood by the door and watched.

"What's Matt doing taking out his wallet?" Jean asked. "Wait...h-he's giving all his money to Armin?!"

"Armin not accepting it." Marco said.

They stood there watching and saw Matt take two steps back.

"Wait? Is he afraid of Armin now?" Eren asked. "What happened during that fighting?"

"That's what I want to know." Jean mumbled.

"But Armin does look kinda scary with what glasses. I mean me and Mikasa never seen him without glasses."

"Never? You got to be kidding?" Marco raise his eyebrow.

"No, I haven't."

"I have." Mikasa said. "One time a guy was picking on Armin and...well I was looking at Armin back but when he took off his glasses the guy ran off."

"You're kidding!" Jean awed. "Just by taking off his glasses."

"Look Armin..." Matt sighed. "I'm just going to say I'm sorry."

"It's fine." Armin put his glasses back on. "Just don't hurt me or my friends."

"S-sure! But here's the thing...I'm apart of something big...and they might find out..."

"And?...I don't know what you're implying."

"What I'm trying to say is that my other friends might come after you. I'll try to stop them but...I don't think they'll listen."

"Just tell them I did it." Armin crossed his arms. "I'll defend myself."

"B-but...but you can't! There's many of them!"

"Then fight by my side." Armin smiled.

"W-what?...You can stay at my place, I live alone and mostly everyone doesn't know where I live."

"I-I can't...But are you sure you can handle them?"

"Yeah!" Armin smiled. "But if they hurt my friends then I'll hurt them back."

Matt didn't believe what Armin was saying.

"I-I...I thought you didn't want to hurt anyone?!" Matt shouted.

"If it comes to worse." Armin sighed.

Matt smiled and laughed.

"You know." Matt wiped the tears from his eyes. "You can be scary at times! And if does come to worse...I'll fight by your side!"

Matt held up his fist. Armin chuckled and bumped his fist.

"Thanks Matt!" Armin smiled. "You know, I knew you aren't a bad guy."

Matt laughed and waved goodbye. Armin chuckled to himself and walked back in and saw Eren, Mikasa, Jean and Marco standing with their mouths open.

"W-what?" Armin eyes wondering.

"What the hell just happened?" Eren mumbled.

"Ohh...umm..."

The bell rang for class and Armin gave a big smile.

"Class is about start?!" Armin shouted. "I didn't even eat!"

Armin ran to his lunch and started eating fast as he was running to class.

"Saved by the bell..." Jean mumbled.

After school Armin waited for Mikasa and Eren table the tree underneath the table.

"Hey Arlert." Armin looked up and saw one of Matt's friends.

"Hey Kevin." Armin put his book down.

"Don't hey me!" Kevin slammed his fist on the table. "Matt is not here because of you! I saw his arm! You'll pay for that you little bastard!"

Armin stood up and sighed.

"I'm sorry about his arm." Armin picked up his book. "But you have no proof that I did that."

"I'm pretty sure that you didn't get that bruise on your face just by falling."

"Like I said you have no proof."

Armin started walking away.

"Hey!" Kevin grabbed Armin's shoulder and pulled him back. "Don't walk away during a fight!"

Kevin tripped Armin and pushed him to the ground.

"A fight?" Armin raised an eyebrow. "You didn't mention a fight."

Eren sat in class listening to his teacher Levi's talk. Mikasa was looking out the window trying not to pay attention.

"Are you guys even listen?!" Levi shouted.

"No." Mikasa said flat out. "Can we go?"

"No!" Levi yelled. "You two will stay until the sun sets! And think about what you've done!"

Levi walked out the room and slammed the door.

"I hope Armin's okay." Mikasa mumbled.

"I'm sure he's fine." Eren yawned. "Just text him and tell him just to head home."

"Okay." Mikasa took out her phone.

Eren looked at the ceiling and sighed.
