A.N: And now we return to the stuff from the Armin Week again!
Day 4: Dilemma
"Hmm…." Armin muttered, staring at the items at the shop window. Next to him, Eren sighed in frustration.
"C'mon Armin, just choose already" he pushed "Or better yet, don't buy anything. Who says you have to get the Horse face a birthday present anyway?"
"No one says I have to get him one" Armin said, not taking his eyes off of the two items he had trouble choosing from "I just want to."
"And I want to punch him" Eren muttered under his breath, causing Armin to roll his eyes. You'd think that after all they'd been through together, the duo could finally act civil with each other but no, they could not.
He supposed the walls would be walking before that happened.
"Just get the sketching pad and we can go!" Eren snapped, and this time Armin looked at him in surprise "The sketching pad? You think Jean would prefer that over the pencil set?"
"Don't know, don't care" Eren said with a shrug "But it's cheaper."
"I can't choose his present based on that!" Armin hissed "You're of no help at all… if I could afford it, I'd just get him both…"
"Seriously, Armin?" Eren asked, but got no answer. With a sigh, the brunet marched inside the store, leaving behind the confused blond. Armin had no chance to follow him inside as he already saw Eren scoop up the sketch pad from the window, heading for the cashier.
"I can't believe he's just making the choice for me" Armin thought "I really shouldn't let him push me around like this."
Despite knowing that, he did nothing to stop his friend.
As Eren came back, Armin made sure that the fact that he wasn't pleased showed on his face.
"What?" Eren asked, raising an eyebrow "Now come on, go get that pencil set so we can go."
"Huh?" Armin asked, but then the gears started turning in his head as Eren refused to meet his gaze "Jeez, Eren."
As Armin went to the store, he couldn't help but wonder just under what kind of excuse would Eren give Jean his present.
