It was strange. The whole situation was. I was not sure what to make of it.

I lay on my bed – mind reeling, taking me back to the conversation with Levi and the night at the club. It was hard to imagine a teacher going to a club. I snorted. Yes, it seems even teachers are only human…

There was a knock on the door. I said a quick 'enter' and looked up to see who it was.

"Hi."

"Hey, Armin."

"You all right?" He looked me up and down, as if trying to decide my wellbeing.

"Hm? I'm fine, why?"

"It's just that… You have been acting weird this month."

"Oh," I grimaced. "Sorry about that. I was kind of self-conscious." I shrugged and saw Armin frown in thought so I clarified, "You remember the night, when we went to the Officer's club?" He nodded so I continued, "well, I royally screwed up that night, as you know from Jean. Even now he bugs me with it."

"Yes, but why—"

"I have met this guy again, actually. The one I… um, threw up on?"

Armin looked alarmed for a moment, "And?"

"I asked him out."

"YOU DID WHAT?!"
