The moon is high in the sky, a sign that everyone is asleep inside the Scout Regiment Headquarters. Everyone, that is, except Armin who lay in bed with a candle on his nightstand and a book in hand. It's his favorite kind of book too, very thick, with lots and lots of pages. While his eyes are trained on the words, he subconsciously fiddles with the next page between his thumb and index finger. He leans forward into the pages as evens unravel during the climax of the story, when suddenly, "Boo!" is whispered into his ear. He eyes widen and he whips his head around in search of the voice, only for his eyes to land on a very amused Eren.
"Holy Sina and the Heavens above, Eren!" he whisper yells at his best friend.
"Mission accomplished! Do you have any idea how long I was waiting under your bed to do that? Man you shoulda seen your f-Armin?.." Armin looks down and swipes away the tears that started to fall.
"You really scared me alright.." he mumbles under his breath.
"Armin, I..I'm sorry, I didn't think that one through..." he says, completely serious now. Armin looks up again, his eyes only glazed with a shine, rather than with blur like they were.
"You know, for pranks you seem to have the patience of a saint."
"Maybe, but still no where close to your level of patience." he replies leaning over to give Armin a nuggie.
"Years of dealing with an Eren as a friend." he laughs poking his side, where Eren's most ticklish spot is.
"Hey!" he jumps back, "Oh you've done it." He launches himself and Armin, effectively throwing the two teens on the bed. Eren throws a leg around his torso and sits on his stomach, pinning him in place.
"Nononono please!" he cries between laughter. Eren, now facing his feet, begins to take his socks off. "OhnOONO,eREN!No!" He gasps, hardly able to control his laughter. Eren smirks.
"Eren, Yes!" Mercilessly, Eren tickles his feet, drawing out the strangest sounds from Armin as he alternates between laughing and yelling. Without any warning, the door flies open and Jean walks into the room with an eyebrow cocked.
"Really? I can't get a good-nights sleep because you two are too busy being gay?" he sighs putting a hand to his face. "Do you have any idea how loud you're being?" he heads for the door again, "Forget it, I'm going back to sleep, but if you could keep it down," he turns around, "That'd be great." he finishes, shutting the door behind him with a thud. Once the sound of his footsteps fades away, the two burst out into laughter once again.
"I can't get a good-nights sleep because you two are too busy being gaaay." Eren mocks.
"But if you could keep it down" Armin whips his head around dramatically, "That'd be great." They laugh again and it fades away this time.
"Who does Horse-Face even think he is?"
"Pssh who knows."
"Yeah."
