Armin awoke gently with Mikasa still soundly asleep in his arms. Judging by the amount of sun that had shined through the curtains it was probably around noon. He gently released the girl from his grasp, making an effort not to stir her too much and cause her to wake. He sat up on the edge of his bed and sighed at the discarded belongings on the floor. Armin then grabbed his phone off of the charger and replaced it with what he assumed to be Mikasa's. She had probably forgotten about it and it had died sometime in the night. He unlocked his own and started to check his messages.

Armin let out a small chuckle at his friend's drunk messages. He responded with a vague message, locked his phone, and made his way over to the closet. I'll check the rest later since Jean got home okay

Still making an effort to be quiet he stood up and shuffled over to the closet on the other side of the room. He opened the door tentatively, of course while making an anxious double take to check if Mikasa was still sleeping, he then grabbed an old oversized shirt, two pairs of loose sweatpants, and set aside some clothing on the foot of the bed. After slipping on the remaining pair in an attempt to cloth himself, he gathered all of their discarded clothing off of the ground and left the room. Even though he had shut the door behind him, Armin continued to move throughout the apartment quietly. Well, considering there was a certain brunette he really didn't want to wake. Armin wasn't in the mood to see a 6 foot tall, buffed up, 19 year old man throwing a hissy fit over being woken Eren would go on for a good thirty minutes about how "fucking inconsiderate!" It was for armin to close a door too loudly or even use the damn microwave. But of course, it was never too long before he was knocking on Armin's door and mumbling behind it "I'm going to chipotle, wanna come?" Armin smiled to himself as he thought of his friends' previous escapades and shuffled his way over to their laundry area. He tossed the dirty clothes inside, along with whatever else Eren had left laying on the ground, and started up the machine. Armin contemplated showering, but also didn't want his...erm..hookup...to be left alone for too he stood and stared at the washer, subconsciously deciding to busy himself by watching the clothing twirl.

He'd known of Mikasa for a while now. Not in some weird admiring kind of way, it was only because she had a name for herself on campus. Which Inherently sounds strange, but it's only because CMU is a very small college. While being focused on STEM, it honestly sounds like the dream place to study things in that field. It's great for hands on learning and personal connections, but shitty in the sense that it occasionally felt like some people never left highschool. So of course, a majority of the opinions of Mikasa were very controversial. I mean, she was an exchange student, a goth, and was known for rarely speaking to anyone on campus. She had a sizable social media following, but all of the content was focused on sewing her alternative outfits or workout routines. And if she was seen off campus she was always with Sasha. Armin's personal experience with Mikasa was in a Linear Algebra class they took last fall. She sat two people away from him, specifically to the left. And oh was he crushing on her, and hard. He never did get the courage to say anything to her. Mikasa always seemed to make an effort to give all of her attention to the professor anyway. Considering she made it her daily task to take the most detailed notes ever, she probably didn't even know he existed back then. But in contrast, Armin showed up to that class 20 minutes early every single time. And why? To sit two seats away from her and wait for the professor to show up. Ever so often she'd look up from her black 3DS, but it was just to check the time. He'd gain the courage to steal a quick glance at her sometimes, But after that semester he almost forgot about her. Of course that was until Jean begged and begged for him to dress nice for once and go to a frat party. And after he sighed and plopped down on a random couch he realized fate had given him a second chance. Armin really didn't expect for it to end with him sleeping with her, but he wasn't complaining either. What he was complaining about was the fact that he didn't know what to do next. He sleepily invited her to a lunch date at three in the morning. "Great job at being creepy" he thought to himself. Of course he'd love to get to know her, maybe start casually dating, take things as they came, but this started as a hookup! "If she's fucking strangers she probably isn't looking for something." It wasn't likely she'd want anything more.

Armin turned around to wait for Mikasa in the living room. " It's weird if I'm just wide awake in the room with her, right?" He thought to himself. As he made his way to leave his staring contest with the washing machine, the bathroom door in front of the small blonde swung open, allowing a bit of steam to fill the hallway as Eren stepped out.

"Oh, Hi Armin"

God how did he not hear the water running in the bathroom. Was he that deep in thought?

"Good morning, or afternoon I guess. " Armin said, looking up at his friend.

"You already know what i'm gonna ask about"

"I'm actually tied between two questions, care to specify?" Armin uttered with a smirk

"Well i've got two" The brunette murmured

" I'm sure I've got time, go on" Armin articulated, leaning against the wall in an attempt to stand his ground.

" Well for one, can you teach me how to get a girl to cum that hard? It sounds like you know what you're doing" the taller boy said with a chuckle.

The blonde winced, he felt the heat on his face as his cheeks turned a familiar shade of crimson. The poor boy even lost his footing in an attempt to stand straight again. "Ereeeen...you never grow up do you?!" of course Armin knew the direction it was going in, but he assumed Eren respected his hatred for getting questioned about his sex life. At least in that much detail.

"quiet down, isn't she sleeping? Besides i'm not done"

"I'm not listening to question two!"

"You'd pass out if I said it aloud anyway"

"Jesus Eren…your lack of a filter is going to be the death of me"

"Alright blondy, i'll leave you be for now. I'm going to my room. Come by whenever you want" And with that, Eren had slipped past the flustered boy and into his own room.

Mikasa sat up with a yawn and wiped the sleep out of her eyes, she had definitely gotten more than enough sleep considering it was bright outside. She figured maybe some stretches could sooth her aches and stood up to twist her back and arms. As she turned she noticed the tidied room as well as the clothes left on the bed. Jesus he's so sweet… Mikasa dressed herself in the sweats and cotton T and sat back down on the bed. God, I don't know what i'm supposed to do after this...I know he wants to get food but, AGH! He was probably just really sleepy when he said that.

A familiar ding! Rang out and snapped her out of her thoughts. She reached over to grab her phone off of the end table and check her messages. Of course a majority were from Sasha updating her throughout the night. She smiled to herself over the incoherent sentences, especially once she realized she's known Sasha long enough to be able to understand them. Mikasa saw the most recent text "Why aren't you in the dorm! FT me right now or I'm filing a missing persons report" she gave a small sigh and called her friend. And just as Mikasa thought, two rings and Sasha had snatched up her phone and accepted the call immediately.

"MIIIIKASAAA! I thought you went back to our dorm you SCARED ME! Where are you!?" Of course the animated brunette had the camera all up in her face.

"Shhh! Sasha I'm not wearing headphones, and I told you I was going with someone. Did you only read half the message?" replied Mikasa.

"Of Course I only read half the message!" She barked back in a whisper that was still too loud.

"He let me sleep over, I think we're gonna get lunch?"

"Sleep over…?...get LUNCH!? Wow okay so you're cheating on me. What if I wanted lunch, Mikasa"

"We get lunch together every day"

"And you're gonna break our streak?" Sasha whined back with a pouty lip.

"Sasha..."

"Okay okay! In all seriousness though I thought guys were only capable of like...lasting four minutes and blocking my number? So I'm glad that baby's first hookup is taking a sweet turn."

"It is not my first! and Sasha i'd love to stay and chat but I don't know how long he's been awake. I love you but I've gotta go"

"WOW! You love me mika?! I love you too :3"

"Sasha-"

"Ok byeee!"

And with that, the call was over. The Raven haired girl sat on the bed and stared out at Armins cluttered desk. She pondered her situation, felt the flips her stomach did from anxiety, feared their new impressions of each other, yearned for it to go somewhere, but also hoped to get it all over with. There was the possibility she read into the situation too far, and his feelings were not in fact that deep. Mikasa bit her lip to calm herself as her mind raced. Because he seemed kind, or at least presented himself in that way, and he acted as if he were just some big softie, and yes… he was good in the bedroom. But being a nice guy who happens to also be a snuggler doesn't reveal his intentions. She recalled having a class with him, -or...who she can now piece together as being him. However, outside of that, Mikasa knew nothing about him! He was practically a stranger. And getting in her guts is one thing, but actually trusting him? Staying the night? It was all just too confusing. She didn't want to be gullible ! And even though she had hoped for things to go a different way for once, part of her wished she wouldn't let this ideal get to her. Her vulnerability made her feel...sick. Mikasa grounded herself back in reality once she heard the door knob turn. Armin Peered his head into the door and gulped when he realized she actually was awake. He shot Mikasa an awkward smile and stepped into the room.

"Good afternoon" he said with a smile. "I thought you were awake, I heard a little bit of chatter"

"I thought I'd called my roommate, she was worried."

He made his way to sit next to her on the bed. "Well, did you sleep alright?"

" I did" Mikasa said, as she smiled at the ground.

They sat there for a moment. Completely stagnant, shoulders pressed together, avoiding all eye contact, until Armin sucked in a sharp breath and tried to break the silence.

"S-sorry if I came on really strong early this morning…"

"Huh? I don't remember you trying to make a move or anything. Did you wanna go at it again?"

"W-what? Nonono! Well, yes? But not right now...I mean I'm not opposed to it though"

She looked at the boy and giggled. He just blushed and turned away.

"I'm just messing with you!" she said between chuckles. She's known him for what...twelve hours? Yet here she was trying to flirt her ass off.

"At least come get lunch with me if you insist on giving me a heart attack" Armin grumbled as he nudged her shoulder

"Deal, I'm hungry anyway. We can just go through a drive through or somethin', But you'll need to put a shirt on,sir."

"Alrighty, and you might wanna take a trip to the bathroom, ma'am"

Mikasa wrinkled her nose at the blond boy and stood to leave the room. I had to pee anyway she thought to herself. Once she opened the door to the bathroom she nearly gasped at her appearance. While her lipstick had stayed put practically everything else had not. The copious amount of liner she had applied the night before had run down her face. Mikasa turned her aching neck and bit her lip as she studied the numerous amounts of hickies, she didn't even bother checking her chest. Thankfully there was a package of makeup wipes on the counter, she tried not to question why and made use of two. Mikasa left the bathroom with a blush on her face and turned to see Armin standing by the front door. She shot him an embarrassed smile and they made their way out to go to his car.
