So Close, Yet So Far

by tentsubasa

Armin likes Annie. But Annie likes Eren. But Eren likes Krista. But Krista likes Armin. Who'll win in this love square of parallel romances? This is a translation of a piece of Japanese fanfiction. (Modern day high school AU)

39. No POV - 3

Armin: "There's just one more thing that's bugging me."

Annie: "What's that?"

Armin: "Why did you suddenly start acting really bubbly that one time?"

Annie: "So…."

Annie: "I heard a rumor that you liked Nina Mina."

Annie: "And after thinking about it, I thought you were probably attracted to her bright, cheerful personality."

Annie: "That's why I acted bright and perky around you."

Annie: "Did you not like it?"

Armin: "No, I didn't."

Annie: "That was quick…."

Armin: "I like you as you are!"

Armin: "Always cool and cute. And you have such a cute smile—"

Annie: "Stop that…."

Annie: "It's embarrassing." (/-＼*)/ /

Armin: "I really mean it. I'm not just trying to flatter you."

Annie: "Aah…/ / / / / / / /"

Armin: "Hahaha."
