A/N: By now. . . .I have realized that the Eren and Armin chapters will most likely appear longer than the Mikasa and Annie ones. I mean. . .who doesn't like Yaoi? Exactly. I'm also sitting outside, running a rummage sale. . .while typing this. Y'all better be happy.
Again, my broken keys are "u", "h", "y", "t", "o" and every now and then "s" I really need a new laptop.

So, here is Chapter Four. Enjoy thy-selves.

Eren's P.O.V

I wasn't excited to see Armin today. In fact, I didn't even want to see him. I feel kind of bad for shutting the door in his face, I wasn't even thinking when I did that. I sat up in my bed and stretched. Across the room, Reiner was still sleeping peacefully. I stared at him for a moment before actually making myself get out of bed. I shuffled over to the bathroom and looked at the clock hanging on the wall. 6:15. I sighed and thought, should I wake up Reiner. . .or to take a shower first. I thought about this for a while.

If I were to wake up Reiner, he'd probably call shower first, and I'll have to wait. Sense he likes long showers, I'd probably be either early to class, or I'd be late because I waited for the shower. If I were to take a shower first, I'd take a 5 minute shower, wake him up, get ready, and be ready for school. Plus, I really needed the shower. It is not acceptable to not shower for 2 days.

I decided to take a shower first, screw Reiner.

I undressed myself and turned on the water. My body shivered from the cold air as I waited for the right temperature of water. I felt it to make sure it was warm enough for me before getting in. I washed my hair and then my body. I stood in there for a second, just thinking.

What would I say if Armin asks what's wrong again? I know I'm not ready to tell him just yet. I started to think of more excuses to say to him if he keeps asking me. 'I just don't feel good today.' 'I didn't get much sleep last night because of Riener's snoring.' 'I had to stay up late last night studying for French.' Any of those could work. I just hope he doesn't catch on that I'm lying.

I got out of the shower to be greeted by a cold gust of wind. I shivered and grabbed a towel, wrapping it around my waist. I shuffled over to a still sleeping Riener and shook my head as if I was a dog. Water droplets sprung from my hair and all over Riener and his bed. He shot up and looked around. He noticed me and narrowed his eyes. "Dude, what the hell?" he groaned.

"It's 6:30." I told him, walking over to my dresser. Riener shot up out of bed and started for the shower. "You'll be late if you shower." I told him, slipping on the school uniform shirt, which was a plain white shirt. He shot me a glare as I dressed. I turned to him and waved my hand, my hand slightly scrunched. "Look away, I'm not putting on my underwear in front of you!" I told him. He groaned and turned around. I quickly dressed up my bottom half. The dress pants were red as I went to go find the brown shoes we also had to wear. Riener quickly started o undress as I was buttoning up my shirt. I turned to look at him. "W-What are you doing? Go do that somewhere else, where I'm not." I told him, turning around.

He looked over at me. "Eren, stop being such a Jean. It's no like we're gay." He chuckled, turning back around.

I felt my face grow hot as I quickly tied my shoes. "I'm going to see Armin." I told him.

"Okay. . . ?" He said in a confused tone.

I quickly walked out the door and started down the hallway towards the female dorms. I usually lie about where I'm going. Mostly because if I say I'm going to Mikasa's, I get picked on about my own sister being my girlfriend. Which I find very. . . .ew. Once I turned down the hallway, there was a small group of girls coming towards my way. It was Krista, Sasha and, Annie? What is Annie doing with them? I waved to them as we passed each other anyways. "Eren!" Sasha called. The small group of people stopped as Sasha turned towards me. "Going to see Mikasa?" she asked me.

I nodded. "Yeah. I need to talk to her." I told the brunette.

She nodded and waved goodbye. I started down the hallway to Mikasa and Sasha's dorm room. I knocked on it, and waited for an answer. Mikasa answered the door, her hair still a mess after getting up from bed. I did a small wave to her. She opened the door a little wider to let me inside. I walked in and sat at her desk chair. She was still in her pajamas, and looked very groggy. "What's wrong? You're usually ready by now." I asked her, cocking my head to the side slightly.

She shrugged and shuffled back over to her bed. "I kind of want to stay in here for a day." she said, laying back down on her side.

I got up and furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. "What do you mean? You've never missed a day in your life!" I told her. "Are you sick?" I asked her.

Mikasa turned her head to look over at me, then turned back around. "Yeah. My stomach is just, acting up." she muttered, clenching her stomach. She pulled out a small notebook and handed it over to me. "Here's the notebook." she muttered, some raspiness in her voice. I grabbed it from her and stared down at her as she was laying in the bed.

I frowned. Well, Mikasa would always deal with it. Except for when she ha the stomach flu. She once went to school with a damaged lung, and even ran in Gym class, just so her grades would stay up. I stared at her for a moment and sighed. "Okay, I'll tell Mr. Pyxis that you're sick." I told her, turning towards the door.

"Wait." I heard her call for me again.

I turned around to face her. "Yes?" I asked.

"Armin." she started out. "What are you going to do if he asks what's wrong. You've been acting strange for a while and he's obviously caught on. He just wants to know if you're okay." she shifted her body around so she could face me. Her stare glared into me. "Just tell him soon." She muttered.

I nodded. "I might tell him Friday." I looked down at my feet for a moment before turning around towards the doorway again. "It just depends on how many times Armin asks." I said lowly before walking out the door.

I quickly exited the dorm room and started down the hallway. I shuffled around the corner to see Armin and Jean. They walked side by side, talking about something. Is Armin asking him about me? I thought to myself. I decided to follow them, just to get close enough so they don't notice. I quickly caught up to them, and then hid behind a pillar, listening to their conversation.

"So. . .Eren is. . .I never really. . . .guessed." was all I could hear Armin say. It was kind of difficult to make out the words when they're half whispering.

"Yes. We. . . .and then. . . .I'm such an idiot for. . . ." Jean muttered to him.

I furrowed my eyebrows in frustration. Why couldn't they speak louder?! I followed them towards the dinning hall. Once we reached the door, I decided to show myself to them. I grabbed onto Armin's shoulder and smiled. "Hey blondie." I joked, snickering. Jean glanced over his shoulder at me. Once we made eye-contact, he glared at me. I eyed him back, before looking back at Armin.

He turned to me, and nervously smiled. "Eren. You actually greeted me this time." he joked.

Jean scoffed and started to walk into the dining hall without us. Armin watched him leave before facing me. The blonde looked at me before tilting his head to the side. "Where's Mikasa?" he asked.

I shrugged and started to walk into the dining hall, Armin following next to me. "She wanted to call in sick. She wasn't feeling good." I told him.

Armin opened his mouth for a small gasp. "She must be really sick then." he muttered, looking down. There was an awkward moment of silence before he spoke up again. "Hey, why do you and Jean hate each other so much?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

My heart skipped a few beats. W-Well I can't tell him the real reason. What should I say? 'We used to be friends, but something happened.' No, I've known Armin my whole life. 'We just do. No real reason.' Yeah, Okay. That'll work I guess. . . I cleared my throat and shrugged. "Well, We just do. There's no actual reason." I told him flat out.

He stared at me a moment before sitting down at the usual table our friends sit at. "Are you sure that's why Eren?" he asked me.

I nodded my head, furrowing my eyebrow. "Y-Yeah. I'm telling the truth." I told him, grabbing a plate from the middle of the table.

Armin stared at me blankly. "Eren, I know when you're lying." he muttered. I froze. I glanced at him, swallowing hard. "Why aren't you telling me what's wrong?" he pleaded, grabbing my arm.

I stared at him before looking away. "There's nothing wrong Armin." I said, a growl sneaking into my tone of voice.

"Yes there is! And I want to know why!" He pleaded some more, worry in his blue eyes.

I stared at him, feeling my eyes starting to water. What? Why are my eyes watering? I'm not that sensitive about it. I opened my mouth to say something. I'm stuck. My lies have failed, and there's nothing left but to tell him now. I stared him dead in the eye. I shakily sighed. "Armin," I started out. "I-"

"Hey you guys!" Sasha and Connie sat at the table across from us. I immediately shut my mouth. There was no way I was going to come out to Armin in front of others. I jumped when they sat down, smirking at us. I started to breathe heavier. I almost told him! I almost fucking told him! Sasha looked at me, concern in her eyes. "Eren, are you okay?" she asked.

I shook my head and got up from the table. "I-I need to be alone." I said before running off.

"Wait! Eren, what were you going to say?!" I heard Armin shout after me. I just swallowed hard as his question started to fill my thoughts.

Armin's P.O.V

I watched the doors of the dining hall as Eren ran off. I looked down and sighed. What the fuck is wrong with him?! Why won't he tell me?! I asked myself. I laid my head on the table and groaned. Sasha leaned over the table and tilted her head. "Is everything okay?" she asked.

I looked up at her and shrugged. "You know. I don't even know anymore. He won't tell me." I growled, crossing my arms as I set them on the table.

Connie made a 'pfft' noise and laid his head on his hand. "Dude, it's way too early for this shit. Just, leave him alone for a while." he said, staring at the other groups of people that are now entering the dinning hall.

I nodded. Petra, Krista and Annie approached the table. "Hey!" Petra said, smiling brightly.

Krista sat down next to me and smiled. "Hi Armin." she said.

Annie sat next to her. Well, it looked like their hips were touching. That's weird. Annie usually never sits at this table, or around Krista at all. Why start now? I asked myself. Oh whatever. "Hi Krista." I smiled back. "Hey Annie." I tried to greet her.

She just stared at me, her eyes drooping from tiredness. I just awkwardly smiled at her before facing Sasha, Petra and Connie. "So, where's Mikasa and Eren?" Petra asked.

"Eren ran off somewhere. And I don't know about Mikasa." Connie said first.

"Mikasa is staying in her room today. She said she didn't feel good or something." I re-quoted what Eren told me before.

"Mikasa's sick?" I heard Annie mutter.

I glanced over at her and nodded. "Y-Yeah."

She looked down at her plate as we all waited for the food to come out. "Tell her to get well." she said to me. It looked like she was glaring, but even I knew that that's just her face.

I nodded. "I'll tell her." I smiled at the blonde. She quickly turned her head around, resting her chin upon her hand.

People started to come out of the double doors in the far back of the room carrying giant plates of food. There were ten tables in total, so there were ten men. One of the dark haired ones came over to our table and placed the plate towards the middle of the table. I started in for the eggs, but was slapped by someone's hand. I looked up to see Sasha. I rolled my eyes, smiling. We all watched as she grabbed every food that was served this morning and putting it onto her plate.

Once she finished that, we all then started in. I grabbed some scrambled eggs, toast and oranges. I grabbed a few napkins, and placed them on my lap. I grabbed some more food off of the plate and onto the thin sheets. Krista noticed and pointed down at me. "Armin, what are you doing? You know what'll happen when they see you take food." she whispered to me.

I looked over at her and sighed. "It's for Eren." I told her. "I assumed that he won't be coming back for breakfast." I said, putting some more in it before wrapping it up with napkins. Once it was all wrapped up, I placed it in my bag, away from my notebooks in case the napkins decided to open while I'm walking.

Krista smiled at me. "Aww, Armin." she said, lifting her shoulders up slightly, taking a bite out of some bread. I raised an eyebrow at her, my cheeks slightly reddening. "You should just go out with him already." she smiled.

I shook my head. "No." I muttered, shoving eggs into two halves of toast.

"Why not? Didn't you tell him you're gay yet or not?" She asked me.

I glanced over at her and shook my head. "No, I haven't." I told her, taking a bite into the eggs and toast.

Krista sighed and glared at me. "When are you going to tell him?" she asked me.

I shrugged. "Tonight."
