Chapter 6: Death certificate of one Armin Arlert

It was already morning and Armin hadn't even blinked following last night's talk with Ymir. To be honest, no one could actually blame him, considering that his death was about to arrive.

'Ymir Arlert… Ymir Arlert… Ymir Arlert…' these were the two words that ran rampant in his mind all night. It was such an odd revelation that he was now, or rather had been, someone's husband for a long time. He was so confused at this point that he could feel a headache coming. He had just started a relationship with his long time crush and he couldn't be happier but now life had dropped a bombshell that would most certainly lead to his demise. To make matters worse, the person of interest was a fellow cadet that had hardly said three words to him for three whole years but here she was, acting like a proper wife by checking up on him. Granted that it was only to amuse herself, it still counts. What was going to happen to his Mikasa, his girlfriend? What is she going to do when she finds out about his wife? Wife…

"Wife…" he mumbled to himself before he was brought back to his senses by a gasp, turning his head to the direction of the sound and falling of the bed from the shock of seeing his girlfriend Mikasa. Mikasa on the other hand rushed over to the other side of the bed to the aid her partner.

"Armin are you alright?" she asked as she lifted him up bridal style and placed him on the bed. Armin was sweating bullets at this point due to the close proximity of Mikasa's face and the fact that he was feeling guilty about the whole 'I have a wife but me and you are dating so that kind of makes you my mistress' situation. Steeling himself, Armin placed both of his hands on either side of Mikasa's face and pulled her in for a kiss.

He wrapped his arms around her chest and pulled her up and on top of him, resulting in her straddling him. Mikasa was so baffled at the sudden action that she let out a quick gasp only for Armin to use that as an opportunity to slip his tongue into her mouth resulting in Mikasa moaning in pure bliss. She didn't know where this sudden affection had come from but she wasn't going to question it. After what felt like forever, the two broke the kiss only for Armin to slip his hands under her shirt causing a massive blush to form on her cheeks. What made matters worse was that Armin was staring at her straight in the eyes as if he was looking at her soul.

"I love you." Those three words were all it took for a tear to escape Mikasa's left eye.

"I love you too." She said before locking lips with Armin again. This kiss had even more passion than the one before which resulted in waves of pleasure surging through the lovers bodies. Just as Armin was about to unclip Mikasa's bra, they were interrupted.

"Can you guys do this a little later?" Annie said. Mikasa leaped of the bed and wrapped her scarf just above her nose to hide her embarrassment, not that it was helping. Armin pulled the cover of the bed up to hide his erection.

"Yeah… you can play with your girlfriend later lover boy~" Ymir practically sang which made Armin pull the sheets over his head to try and hide from the world. He knew that he would never be able to escape Ymir but for her to openly embarrass him in public will cause suspicions to arise and eventually he will have to open up sooner rather than later. He took a peek at Mikasa under his sheets.

'At least she'll give me a quick death… I hope.'

Armin had been discharged from the infirmary and was making his way to the mess hall to have lunch with his squad. When he arrived, he was met with a few concerned members of the Survey Corps and after thirty minutes of convincing everyone that he was ok, he was allowed to eat in peace. Once everyone was seated, conversations about various things began. During that time, Mikasa had excused herself in order to go to the bathroom which was a fair distance away. Paying no mind to his girlfriend's disappearance, Armin continued to chat to Connie whilst Eren and Annie were having a rare display of affection for each other much to the amusement of the Corps. It wasn't until Krista came to the group that the feeling of dread set into Armin's body.

"Hey Krista, where's Ymir?" Sasha asked as she stuffed a piece of bread in her mouth.

"Oh… She said that she was going to the bathroom." She said softly as she sat down next to Armin who was talking to Connie but after he heard what his fellow blonde just said, his body stiffened whilst his face became as white as snow. He didn't even recognise that he was shaking until Krista pointed it out.

"Armin what's wrong? Why are you crying?" She asked as she wiped away a tear from his face. Armin could only whimper and try his hardest to hold back his tears but it was futile. His moment of weakness got the attention of squad 104 and most of the Corps, including Levi who raised an eyebrow at Armin's random crying session.

"Dude what's wrong?" Eren asked.

"Was it the food?" Sasha asked.

"Do you need to go to the infirmary again?" Reiner said as he gently put his hand on Armin's shoulder. Armin could only shake his head but for a brief moment, he managed to get his message across.

"She's going to kill me…" he murmured but all of the people around him heard what he said and they all widened their eyes in shock. Armin looked up to his best friend

"M-Mikasa is going to k-kill me Eren…" everyone relaxed at this moment much to the confusion of Armin. He couldn't understand why they were so calm about the fact that he was about to go swimming with the fishes. Did they want to see him killed? He thought that they held more love for him. Clearly he was mistaken. Armin had stopped crying but his eyes were still puffy and red.

"Dude, there is no way that she is going to kill you. This is Mikasa we're talking about. She's way to in love with-"

"ARMIN!" a voice boomed from down the hall. This voice had made everyone, including Levi, cringe in fear- more so for Armin who began to cry again.

"I-I need t-to get out of h-here…" Armin said as he tried to wiggle his way around his still stunned, and scared, squad.

"YOU BETTER NOT MOTHERFUCKIN' RUN ARLERT OR I WILL CHOP OFF YOUR DICK AND SHOVE IT DOWN YOUR FUCKIN' THROAT"

It was at this point that Armin had buried his face in Eren's chest and was hyperventilating whilst streams of tears ran down the sides of his face.

"Eren… I just wanted you to know that you're my best friend and brother. I will always love you man. I'll say hi to your mom when I get to heaven… just promise-" he never got to finish his dying speech when a strong hand clenched around his neck and lifted him off his feet. When Armin managed to open his eyes, he was met with the enraged gaze of his girlfriend and now executioner.

"M-Mikasa p-please calm d-down… I can explain…" Armin said softly since his air passage was being blocked. He could see in his peripheral vision that all of the members of Corps, excluding Levi who turned his gaze to the wall as he sipped on his tea, had their eyes on the couple and were frozen stiff from fear and awe.

"Oh you can explain can you? Well you better have a good explanation for PEEPING ON YMIR WHILST SHE WAS TAKING A SHOWER!" she roared, making Armin and the Corps cringe at the volume and venom in her voice. When everyone got their hearing back and let Mikasa's words settle in, everyone gasped. Armin was still thinking a mile a minute.

"Y-You s-see it happened… wait. WHAT?" he yelled in bewilderment.

"Ymir told me that she found you peeping on her back when we were still at the training academy!"

"And you BELIEVE YMIR!?" Armin yelled. He couldn't believe that his own girlfriend would believe the words of squad 104's resident prankster but he was also extremely relieved to know that his secret marriage was still… well a secret. Everyone turned their heads towards the door when they heard the sound of someone laughing at the top of their lungs. And there she was in all her mischievous glory, Ymir. She was rolling on the floor with her arms covering her chest and stomach since the pain of laughing so hard was too much for her.

"See? She was just messing with you!" Armin said sternly. Mikasa put her boyfriend down and started staring at him with poppy dog eyes. Since this was the first time she did this, he was instantly weak at the knees.

"I'm sorry baby… please forgive me" she said in a soft voice as she gave him a quick kiss on the lips. Armin was so confused at this point that all he could do was nod. She then smiled at him then turned her attention back at Ymir who was slowly getting up to her feet.

"Ymir…" Mikasa said darkly as an aura of death surrounded her. She was slowly making her way to the prankster whilst she was cracking her knuckles.

"IT WAS WORTH IT!" Ymir yelled as she ran away with Mikasa close behind her, trying to kill her. When everyone finally found their bearings after five minutes of silence, Annie was, surprisingly, the first one to speak up.

"Arlert, I think you need a change of pants." She said monotonously whilst holding her gaze with his.

"You don't have to tell me twice." He responded whilst running to his bed chambers.

When it was time for dinner, everyone was sitting in their respective seats, going over the plans for the Survey Corps' 57th Expedition outside the walls. Ymir sat next to Krista on the same table as Armin, Eren, Annie and Mikasa; this was the same for most of the squad as Armin was busy detailing the plan since it was confusing. Every time Armin's gaze landed on Ymir's, she would wink at him but if Mikasa wasn't paying attention, she would blow him a kiss much to inflation of his blush. He would have figured that since Mikasa fractured her cheek bone from a powerful punch that she would refrain from embarrassing him like she's doing, maybe not. Everything was calm but the sudden burst of the door that led outside, caused everyone to jump from their seats.

"What's up motherfuckers! Kenny Ackerman in this bitch!" yelled a man wearing Military Police uniform. To make his entrance even more dramatic, he shot two bullets from his two pistols at the roof, much to the Survey Corps' fear and confusion. Everyone stood still for what felt like an eternity until Levi and Commander Erwin stood up from their seats and made their way to the group of Military Police personal.

"Kenny, what the fuck are you doing here?" Levi said venomously. When Kenny turned his gaze to him, he holstered his guns and pointed his index finger at Levi.

"Nephew! You're STILL as short a shit. What a damn shame…" he said whilst shaking his head dismissively. This caused everyone in the mess hall to gasp since no one ever teased Levi without ending up in the infirmary and also since Levi was related to the crazy person. Levi was about to attack Kenny but was stopped by Erwin who placed his hand on the Corporal's shoulder. Kenny however just chuckled before he spoke again.

"Well to answer your question, I'm here to pick up someone. I'm looking for…" he said as he took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

"Krista Lenz." He said loudly as he addressed the members of Survey Corps. Everyone turned their heads to 'the goddess' and when Kenny eyes fell on her, she opened her mouth and closed it much like a fish out of water. This only seemed to amuse Kenny as he started chuckling before Erwin spoke up.

"What does the Military Police want with Krista?" he said sternly.

"We don't have to tell you that. What I can tell you is this… that person is NOT Krista Lenz. Her real name is Historia Reiss, the heir to this Kingdom." Now if everyone was stunned at Kenny's entrance, then their minds were blown from the fact that they were in the presence of the next Queen.

"Now your Highness, will you please follow me?" he asked as he took a step forward but everyone knew it was more of command than a request. To make sure that Krista/Historia got the message, the other two members of the Police who accompanied Kenny, took off their rifles from their shoulders. Krista on the other hand took a step back and was surprised when two figures stood in front of her, blocking her view of Kenny.

"Fuck… Off…" Armin and Ymir said in unison. The Military Police trio were stunned but for another reason entirely. It wasn't until one of Kenny's men spoke that the silence was broken.

"Wait… aren't those two-" he never got to finish his sentence when Kenny turned around and shot two bullets into the heads of the men, killing them instantly. Everyone was frozen, scared, happy and confused. They didn't even realise that Kenny moved until they finally rebooted their minds just in time to see Kenny kneeling in front of Armin and Ymir, much to their increasing confusion.

"Please forgive me Princess Ymir. Please forgive me Prince Armin, I wasn't aware that the crown prince was alive but I'm here and ready to serve." He said honourably. This caused everyone to gasp for the umpteenth time before the three minute long awkward moment was broken by none other than Sasha.

"Prince… Armin?"
