The last school bell had rang, meaning it was time to go home and rest, but unfortunately it wasn't for everyone: a blond boy his head resting on the desk, as a sign of desperation, he didn't want to stay in class for another two hours for unnecessary punishment, especially if it wasn't his fault.

- hey Armin! -

He tried to call him his best friend Eren, placing a hand on his shoulder and shaking it slowly for a few minutes, but there was no sign of a response from the blond.

- Armin, it's Jean's fault, isn't it? -

Mikasa said that as usual she was going straight to the point, Eren suddenly turns his head making an angry face, 'Mikasa why are you always so direct?' The brunette thought, Mikasa, as if she had read his thoughts answered him.

- I always go straight to the point -

She said, while she adjusted one of her two pigtails that had been messed up after the whole school day.

Armin, hearing the raven girl speak, looked up, taking his glasses to put them on and then looking wearily at his two best friends.

- Yes Eren is Jean's fault ... -

Armin said, but immediately putting his hands forward and waving them for a moment, knowing well that Eren was already red with anger.

-No Eren, you are not going to beat him, luckily for me he is in detention with me-

He said in an almost desperate tone, 'I'm going to be in an empty classroom with the person I hate the most, for two hours, for two fucking hours!' The blond thought, clenching his hands in fists.

Eren and Mikasa hearing the words of Armin opened their eyes worried, the raven then took Eren by the shoulders and carried him away, quickly greeting the blonde already knowing what damage Eren could have done, she didn't want to ruin even more the unjust punishment that the blond had received.

After a few minutes the bespectacled heard footsteps getting closer and closer, looked up seeing the door that opened, showing the person he most hoped to not see even though he knew that he would have to come to class and pass with him the next two hours.

- Hey -

Jean greeted him with a grumpy tone, 'grandiose' Armin thought, the blond rolled his eyes and then waved his hand to greet him, then took a book from his backpack, luckily he had an interesting story to pay attention, it would make the two hours pass more or less quickly.

- Do you know where Professor Smith is? -

Jean asked him, interrupting him from his reading, 'why the fuck do you want to talk to me Jean Kirschtein?', Armin sighed, closing the book, to show him that he was quite irritated and that no, he didn't know where Professor Smith was.

-I don't know where he is-

Armin answered quickly, Jean frowned, approaching the blond's desk, slamming his hands on the counter, frightening the bespectacled that was starting to read his book again.

- What the fuck is wrong with you Jean ?! -

Armin exclaimed angrily, who once again closed the book, tired of being interrupted by the person he hated the most.

Jean smirked, then sat down opposite Armin, who was still looking at him irritably.

- What are you reading? -

Asked the brown, pointing to the book that the blonde was holding, Armin widened his eyes, not expecting such a question, then he turned the book on the side of the cover, passing it to Jean.

- The attack titan? -

Armin nodded as Jean read the title.

- Why this name seems familiar? -

The brown asked more to himself thinking he whispered, but Armin answered him, letting him know he had spoken aloud.

- I don't know, but it also gives me a feeling of nostalgia, especially when I read the first words of the first chapter -

The blond opened the book, pointing to the words Jean should have read, his finger suddenly stopped, making Jean look up at Armin's face.

'Why does he care so much? Will he use it as a mockery? Was he pretending to be interested? '

Armin began to think over and over, these thoughts made him retract the index that was on the book, looking down.

Jean did not understand what was happening, deciding to read the words that the bespectacled had shown him.

"Chapter one, the world that we can't see"

"The ocean, a salt lake so big, that no merchant could deplete it.

Not even in a lifetime "

Jean widened his eyes, his breath became heavier, images unknown to him passed through her mind, tears began to fall from his eyes without the brown haired boy noticing.

" - Armin, describe me the ocean again -

The brown haired boy asked softly, stroking the cheeks of the blonde boy.

The blond with his big blue eyes full of enthusiasm nodded, getting closer to Jean and with a smile he began to describe the ocean again.

- The ocean, a salt lake so big, that no merchant could deplete it.

Not even in a lifetime -

Armin took Jean's hands and looked at him with an even stronger smile and sincere than before.

- Jean, promise me we'll go see the ocean together, I want to go see it with all of you, I want to show you how true this is, so promise me -

Jean gave the blonde a short and sweet kiss on the lips before answering him.

- promise - "

- Jean! -

The brown was frightened, feeling the hands that were shaking his shoulders.

He looked up to see the bespectacled , which seemed worried.

- Jean, why are you crying? -

He asked him confused, 'crying? What are you saying, Armin? ' The brunette touched his cheeks which turned out to be wet, opened his eyes worried, he never cried, why on earth would he have to cry for a book that Armin had given him?

Right, Armin, the guy he saw in the vision a few minutes ago looked the same and had the same name as the blondie, but the clothes he wore were weird, he was wearing a brown jacket with a weird symbol on his back, they were blue and white wings , what did that jacket mean? Why did they promise each other such a thing? But above all, why did Jean kiss him?

Inside, perhaps he already knew the truth, but he didn't want to admit it, the gaze that the brown haired boy had on Armin suddenly softened, his hands took the bespectacled face in a delicate way, making him open his eyes in amazement.

- Jean? Are you okay? -

Armin asked, with slightly reddened cheeks, he didn't know why the brown haired boy was doing this, but at that delicate touch, he didn't feel the need to run away, images ran through his mind, images he kept seeing in his dreams from a few months, he had never seen the face of the other boy who promised him to see the ocean together, but this time he saw the face of Jean,

the face of the person he hated most had promised him something so special and important to him.

Tears also began to fall on the cheeks of the blond, noticing it, Jean stood up, making Armin rise too, to wrap him in a strong hug.

Armin replied only by returning the hug, continuing to cry, the tallest one with one hand stroked his back, while the other held him even closer.

- Shh Armin, it's okay ... Did you remember too? -

He asked in a low voice, as if it were such a private conversation that no one should have heard, even though there was no one in the room.

The shorter one nodded, not breaking away from the hold of the taller, who kissed his head, smelling the sweet smell of his blond hair.

- I missed you Jean -

Armin said whispering, the brown broke the hug and looked at his big blue eyes.

The taller took the hands of the shorter and with a sweet look pointed to a corner of the classroom, where they sat on the floor after taking the book.

Armin rested his head on Jean's shoulder, opening the book and starting to read aloud, the brown with one hand began to caress the blond's hair, and interested he listened to the words of the bespectacled, sometimes he interrupted him with the memories of their past life and between laughter, stories and cuddles, the two hours passed quickly.

Nothing was known about professor smith, he probably forgot about their punishment, but for Armin and Jean it was the most memorable punishment ever, the two exchanged numbers and Armin decided to invite the brown haired boy to his house for the rest of the afternoon.
