Armin hadn’t been to school in a few days and Annie had started to worry. Of course she had been texting him but he wasn’t responding as much as he normally had. Out of curiosity she texted him the following morning, “r u coming to school today y have u been out?” She waited but didn’t get a response until a few hours later.

“Sry ab that I’ve had a cold these past few days sry to worry, should be better in no time!”

“I’m coming over”

“What?!?”

“You’ve had me worried sick and u haven’t told me ab this I’m coming over to help you feel better.”

“You really don’t have to do that! I’m fine! I rally don’t want to get you sick! “

“I don’t care if I get sick.” She wasn’t mad at him but she has simply missed him to much t for him to just not tell her about it.

After school she walked to his house, which was just across the street from hers. His grandfather was going to be at work for a few hours until he got home.

“Hello?”

“Hey!” She heard distantly from the other room. She knew where his room was she’d been here plenty of times. She came with a can of soup and a bear she found at the dollar store that reminded her of him.

She walked into his bedroom to find him in an old gaming tshirt and sweatpants still laying in bed with a box of tissues on his bedside table will countless cans of soda along with it.

“You brought gifts?”

“Not Gifts just useful things to help you feel better”

Oh! Then what’s that teddy bear you have?”

She looked down with heat forming in her cheeks, “just thought it would cheer you up.”

“Well thank you!” He said as she approached the bed sitting on the edge next to him.

They ended just hanging out together the rest of the night and she was just happy to have his company again. Annie ended up heading home pretty late that night after taking care of him.

She then spotted some of her classmates on the way home from something and they spotted Annie.

“Hey what are you doing out so late Annie??” Asked Sasha. “I was just stopping by Armins. He’s been sick.”

“Really now?” Asked connie “well seems strange only YOU went to go see him!” With a sly look on his face.

“Shut up” Annie responded “I’m going home”
