Ok so like, I just finished reading 'The secret book of Armin' and I must say that it's the best fanfic I've read so far. It opened my eyes and now I realise that I'm thinking on a small scale with this story so… let me try turning up the heat.

Reviews:

Armin it's a ThugLife- Lol I actually was thinking about letting Levi whip both of their ass but I decided against it because I wanted to focus on Armin's quick thinking. Maybe he will get his ass kicked by Levi a bit later

Reader aka Sun Samurai- The memories are 50% of reason why Armin keeps passing out. You'll find out a little later what else is the case.

TheDeathly-Z – Is Mikasa a shifter…? Lol in this story no she isn't BUT that may be a good idea for another fanfic.

Chapter 4: Confessions

'Mother?' Armin thought as he glanced at the silhouette in front of him. After a few seconds, his vision sharpened and he soon found that he was back in his home in Shiganshina. Armin knew he was just dreaming but it felt so real! Like everything that happened in the world of the living was the actual dream. He would have relished in this feeling of security and comfort but he soon noticed that there were a total of 5 people in the room.

They were sitting around the dining table whilst Armin was sitting by the front door. He had a feeling that they didn't even know he was there. From his position he could easily identify three of the occupants. His grandfather and his parents but the two other individuals were vaguely familiar. He narrowed his eyes to the man sitting next to his father and when he finally remembered the man's name he became extremely confused… 'Dr Jeager?'

He couldn't understand why Eren's father was in his house but he soon negated those thoughts as soon as he started hearing the heated conversions the adults were having.

'You have to do something Peter! If we allow this crazed man to continue his rule, then the Kingdom is bound to collapse' Dr Jeager said at Armin's father.

'Grisha please calm down.' Said Armin's mom who sat across from her husband. Armin could see that everyone here was tense but for the life of him, couldn't understand what was going on.

'Grisha is correct' the woman Armin had yet to identify suddenly spoke up. He could see that she had shoulder length black hair with a very structured face but what caught his attention were her grey eyes. Everyone sitting by the table turned their attention to the said woman.

'I already believe that they know that you are here and will breach Wall Maria just to bring back their King. Changing your surname to "Arlet" proved useful for a while but they will soon realise just who you really are… to make matters worse; the fact that you now have a son will make them act immediately since there is now an heir to the throne.'

Armin was so confused right now at what was being discussed that he didn't notice that everyone sitting by the table were staring at him. When he did notice, he saw that the unknown lady was now standing in front of him. He took a step back out of shock but what happened next, left him dumbfounded. The unknown lady kneeled in front of him, he quickly took note of her birthmark on her left forearm that resembled a heart but he was pulled back to her grey eyes when she spoke to him.

'Please you're Highness. Protect my daughter'

Armin jolted into a sitting position when his dream or hallucination ended. His breathing was erratic and his heart was pounding so hard that it was a miracle that it was still in his chest. After a few minutes he was able to collect himself and soon discovered that he was lying down on another unfamiliar bed, the difference from when he was in the cell was that he was not cuffed to the bed. Memories from the courtroom filled his mind and he released a sigh of relief when he remembered that he managed to convince the judge to let the Survey Corps take custody over him and Eren.

'I guess this must be the Survey Corps' HQ.' Armin thought as he took in his surroundings. He was in a simple room that lacked anything that could stand out. The room actually resembled the one he and his fellow trainees used back in training. It had two bunks on either side of the wall with the passage between them leading to the door.

Getting up didn't take much effort since he was sleeping on the bottom left bunk. His motor skills seemed to be operating just fine much to his surprise. He figured that the dream would render him dizzy and confused. Guess he was wrong.

'You just have to love the human brain' he thought to himself with a slight chuckle. He looked through the window in the room and noticed that the moon was out. From its position in the sky, he assumed that it was close to midnight.

'I don't think I'll be able to go back to sleep and to be honest, I don't really want to. I need a break from these dreams.' Armin thought as he made his way to the door. Once he was in the hallway, he saw that the room adjacent to his own had light seeping through the closed door. He was going to walk away since he assumed that the room belonged to someone he didn't know and he didn't want to get into trouble but just as he turned to head down the corridor, a familiar voice or rather voices came from the said door. He walked towards it and placed his ear on the door to hear the commotion inside the room.

"Here's to squad 104!" boomed a voice that sounded like it belonged to Eren but it came out slurred as though something was impeding his speech. Soon after there were more voices that cheered at the declaration and they all sounded familiar but slightly different. Armin's curiosity got the better of him and he decided to see what was going on. He opened the door slowly but fully, it seemed as though members of his squad didn't even notice that he was by the door. From where he was standing he could easily see the dozen or so bottles of alcohol on the floor and that everyone seemed to be… chemically off balanced. He slowly closed the door behind him and just stood there watching the sight before him amusingly. The next person to hold up their cup caught everyone, including Armin, by surprise. Mikasa held up her cup whilst her head was swaying side to side, a clear indication of her sobriety, and spoke in an unusually cheering voice.

"Here's to Armin *hiccup. For saving Eren from being split in half AS WELL AS for being the cutest guy in the squad! I could just eat him up!" This left Armin blushing seven different shades of red but before he could even get his thoughts together, Ymir spoke

"I actually agree with you! I wouldn't mind some of him"

"Same here!" replied Krista

"Don't forget me" Concluded Sasha.

Mikasa gave the three girls are death glare that made Annie's look like to belonged to a child. Everyone winced when they saw Mikasa.

"Let me make this perfectly clear for everyone here! Armin is MINE and no one is allowed to eat him besides me!" everyone just nodded at her since no one wanted to be at the receiving end of her wrath. She wasn't top of her class for nothing. Armin continued to stare at Mikasa in disbelief but decided that it was time to have some fun himself considering that he hasn't had it in a long time.

"Well Mikasa, I think that would be considered cannibalism." Armin said.

Everyone froze on their spot when they heard the very familiar voice. Slowly they turned to see Armin making his way to the group who were sitting between the set of bunk beds in a circle. Mikasa, Ymir, Krista and Sasha instantly developed blushes whilst the rest of the group roared in laughter with Eren being the loudest of the bunch. Armin then sat behind Mikasa and wrapped his arms around her waist resulting in her leaning her back against his chest further intensifying her blush.

"You know for someone so stoic, you can be extremely cute Kasa!" Armin said as if he was talking to a baby, resulting in the group laughing even harder due to the uncharacteristic blush on Mikasa's face.

"S-Shut up A-Armin!" she yelled but then proceeded to lay her head on his neck. This made him and the rest of the group to laugh at their maximum.

"Ok fine! Hey guys can I also get a drink… might as well get into the groove of things." He said. His call was answered by his best friend

"Sure thing buddy! Lord knows we need it." He said still looking rather lopsided but regardless, he poured the drink and handed it to Armin. Armin took the cup but before he could drink it, something or rather someone caught his trained eye.

"Annie? Is that you? What you doing with the Survey Corps? Didn't you say you wanted to join the Military Police?" he asked to his fellow blonde. Even though Annie had her normal uncaring face on, the pink tint on cheeks proved that she was intoxicated.

"Wow Armin… so many questions. Firstly yes, it is me… secondly I-I'm here because I joined the Survey Corps… and l-lastly… I didn't join the Military Police because of how you ripped through their reputation at the hearing." She said in her monotone voice.

"Hey!" Eren protested as shot a look at Annie who just shrugged but continued.

"Oh and because Eren wanted me to…" she said as if nothing was wrong with her sudden change of heart. Everyone in the room, save for Eren and Annie, gasped at the statement. There was silence in the room as everyone just stared at Annie as though she had grown another head. It was then that Mikasa broke the silence even though she was worse for wear.

"Annie Jeager… it kinda has a ring to it…" she mumbled even though it was loud enough for everyone to hear. Annie and Eren's face instantly went red which promptly made everyone laugh at them. Annie glared at her rival before a devilish smirk made its way on her face.

"I don't think it sounds better than Mikasa Arlet though…" She said in a seductive tone clearly trying to make Mikasa as uncomfortable as possible. Her plan back fired though, as Mikasa giggled and faced her.

"I agree… I don't think anything sounds better." Making sure that she was facing Armin at that moment which only caused Armin to turn his head in order to avoid her seeing his blush.

The rest of the night was joyful and good-humoured. Everyone was laughing and drinking (which they would most certainly get punished for) the rest of the night until the early hours of the morning. When it was time to head to bed, Mikasa declared she will be sleeping with Armin who didn't refuse her request since he was drunk himself. Annie and Eren soon followed suit and went to the room where Armin woke up from.

When Armin got into his bed, he made space for Mikasa who immediately made herself comfortable. Armin said goodnight and was about to blow out the candle when he saw something on Mikasa's left forearm.

'Isn't that the same birthmark as the lady in my dreams' Armin thought but quickly brushed it aside since he assumed that he was seeing things due to the alcohol in his system. With that in mind he blew out the candle and cuddled with Mikasa.

End

Chapter 5: We were destined to be together

So like… that was fun. Sorry if you were expecting some long, lovey dovey romantic chapter but I didn't want to dwell on the romance because I'm taking the story down a different route.

P.S notice how Ymir said she likes Armin… she is going to act on those feelings later.
