Armin and Annie went together to the roof.
Annie: "Hey…is it okay for us to be up here?"
Armin: "As long as we don't get caught, it should be fine."
Annie: "I suppose."
Annie: "Well, whether we should be up here or not, the stars are beautiful tonight."
Armin: "Yeah."
Annie looking at the stars is prettier than anything.
More…beautiful than anything….
Annie: "…"
It's kind of cold….
But Armin's here with me.
I think I'll move a little closer to him.
Annie: "/ / / / /"
Armin: "Annie, your face is kind of red. Are you okay?"
Annie: "I-I'm fine! Just a little cold."
Armin: "I see."
Huh?
Was Annie this close to me earlier…?
Mmm, I guess it's fine.
It's not like I mind.
But enough about that. Annie said that she was cold just now, didn't she?
We should probably start thinking about heading back in then.
Armin: "Shall we head back inside soon?"
Annie: "What? Already?"
Armin: "Do you want to stay longer?"
Annie: "Yes!"
Armin: "I see…. In that case, put this on."
Armin: "You just said you were cold, right?"
Armin lent me the jacket he was wearing.
It felt so warm.
Annie: "Armin, you're really nice."
Annie: "I really like you, Armin!"
Annie: "The way a girl likes a boy.../ / /"
Armin: "I also really like you!"
Armin: "The way a boy likes a girl.../ / /"
Annie: "You mean?!"
Armin: "That's right! We both like each other!"
Annie: "Yay!"
Wait.
But doesn't Armin like Nina Mina…?
Am I just a consolation prize again?
Annie: "Armin."
Armin: "Yeah?"
Annie: "By any chance, am I just a substitute for Nina Mina?"
Armin: "Hah?! What're you talking about?"
Armin: "You're not a substitute for anybody!"
Armin: "Annie, you're really truly my girlfriend!"
Annie: "Ah! / / /"
Armin: "But I'm just a consolation prize to you, aren't I?"
Armin: "I mean…you like Eren…."
Annie: "Since when?"
Annie: "Ever since that incident, I've liked you, Armin."
Armin: "Incident?"
Annie: "Geez. Wasn't there that time you rescued me from Eren?"
Armin: "Oh! That!"
Annie: "Yes, that! Ever since then, I've liked you!"
Armin: "Really?!"
