. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.Coming out was terrifying, and dating seemed even worse. Luckily, your best friend Shoko Ieiri insists she’ll help you navigate it all ^^

enjoy my loves! <3

When Shoko called stating she wanted to hang out tonight, you stupidly assumed it would just be her and you. Of course, looking at the scene in front of you, you were meant with drunk people out in the lawn and loud music blaring.

You let out a sigh as you start to walk to the porch, waving at Utahime as you skipped the line and made it inside to find Shoko. 

You should’ve just left, this week was already tiring enough and now you had to navigate through sweaty drunk people. Picking up your phone you sent a quick text to her and made your way through the crowd to get a drink. 

“Heyyyy.. W-what are you doing here?” gojo slurred, as he followed you to the kitchen and wrapped his arm over your shoulder. 

“Shoko um- you’re too heavy!,” you exclaimed as you playfully pushed him off and opened the fridge, "Shoko invited me to hang out but she left the party out where there was a party tonight..” 

Finding a drink, you look back up at Satoru and see him flirty with three girls simultaneously, you chuckled and patted his back leaving the kitchen. 

Moving your way through the crowd you finally make it up the stairs and head to Shoko’s room. It was always quiet there since it was in the attic and she had the room sound for her mini band she had with Gojo and Geto. 

You knocked on the door out of habit and decided to just walk right in. You closed the door behind you and took in the atmosphere, her band posters, fairy lights around her bed and her snack cart. 

You took your shoes off and set your drink on her night stand before you laid on her bed. Ding. Checking your phone, you glanced down and saw a text from Shoko.

Sit tight sweetie, I'll be there in a few.  

You liked the message and set your phone down, smiling as you waited for her to come meet you. She’s always been so nice to you and cared for you deeply which is why you couldn’t fathom ruining your friendship because of your stupid crush. 

Despite your close friendship with her you never knew her type, all the constant flirting or sharp eye contact made you go back and forth. 

She usually kept to herself until she met you. All of her time was now spent constantly checking on you and having study dates that started as a group but always turned into a two person event. 

Apparently, everyone had “canceled” but you never cared to ask more because you got to spend time with her.

Shoko was always there for you no matter what. After a series of terrible dates, you had some long talks with her which led you to come out. She welcomed you with open arms and you two had been inseparable. 

The energy shifted between you then. Longer hugs, late night calls, cuddles while watching movies and even sleeping in the same bed. You never dared to go any further even though you've both seen each other nude. 

You shock your head trying to clear your mind as you wondered what Shoko was doing at the party instead. Probably making fun of Gojo at his drunk state and checking on her sors* before dipping into her room. 

All of the memories of the past few months she came to your rescue, rather it was to calm you down or keep you company. She always brought your favorite snacks, wiped your tears and took naps together. 

How were you not supposed to fall for her? 

To the outside world she's calm and calculated, always looking for the right plan of action. With you, she dropped the perfectionist role and showed her softer side. She smiled every time she saw you and pulled you in for hugs, disregarding what she was doing before. 

Even with her tired eyes she always chooses to check on you first, every morning you would wake up to a morning text and promise to walk you to your classes. 

The door creaked open, knocking you out of your thoughts as you looked up and saw her walking in. She yelled back at someone, stating she was busy and closed the door locking it before she set her sight to you. 

“Hey gorgeous,” Shoko excitedly beamed, as she took her shoes and shirt off leaving her in her bra and shorts. You instinctively looked away and fake coughed, you glanced up slightly and saw the smirk growing on her face. 

“You didn’t tell me there was a party Ieiri..” you said, a little pout slowly forming on your face as you looked up. 

You watched her turn the big light off, the only light source coming from the fairy lights behind you. She closed her distance and sat on the bed right next to you. 

“I know.. I just selfishly wanted to see you.” 

Shoko smiled softly at you, your walls quickly breaking down as you made your way closer to her. 

“Just let me know next time, okay?” you whispered, she nodded and patted her lap. You looked up in confusion as she whispered for you to sit. 

You tilted your head but listened to her request. You made your way on her lap and sat down, legs nicely seated beside her hips. 

“So..?” you started, trying not to blush at the closeness between you two. Shoko brushed your hair to the side and looked up at you. 

“You look really pretty,” she said, taking your hands in hers, “you got all dressed up for me?” she teased, as you playfully shoved her.

“Maybe..” 

‘Maybe’? How fucking cringy could you get..

Wait– what was going on here? 

Was she flirting?

“Sweetie, where did you go?” 

You put your focus back on her and saw the blush forming on her cheeks as she looked up at you. 

“Ieiri? Was there something you wanted to tell me?” 

She grinned, pulling you closer so you were face to face. 

“I want to kiss you.. like really bad.” she let out, a hint of nervousness flooding through you. 

“Why..,” you whispered, watching her eyes as you flickered down to look at her lips and back at her eyes. 

“Cause I like you silly,” she breathed, holding you closer, her chin resting on her shoulder. He hands roaming till they find your hips which cause you to gasp slightly. 

“I do too..” you whispered back. As you broke away from her slightly you got a good look at her. She had a cute pout as she looked up at you with puppy eyes. Her dark brown eyes poured into you as you glanced at her lips again. 

Closing the distance you lean down again and tilt your head. Face to face you both smiled before you closed the distance and soft groans left your lips. 

You tasted her cherry chapstick as you dove into her. You ended up pushing her back down as you kissed, your back arched to feel her closer as she grabbed your ass. 

You broke the kiss to take off your jacket, Shoko helped you and watched you take your shirt off along with it.

“So pretty baby..” she cooed, roaming her hands up your body and pulling you back down to her lips. Her tongue slipped through your lips, testing your reaction, you invited it as you started to slightly suck on her tongue. 

Shoko grinned at your eagerness and tossed you over, now hovering over you she sat up, taking in your presence. Flipping her hair to the side she dove to your bra and kissed around it, keeping an eye on your shy expression. 

Quickly removing your bra she kisses around your nipples and lightly licks your breasts. You toss your head to the side and reach for her. 

“T-the party..?” you whispered, suddenly remembering where you were as Shoko moved to remove her bra. 

“Don’t worry sweetie, I locked the door.” 

She grabbed a nearby hair tie putting her hair half up half down and tugged on your skirt. 

“Let's get these off.. I wanna eat.”

────୨ৎ──── finally all settled into your new home and enjoying life in a quiet little town, you can’t help but keep an eye on the handsome milkman who stops by once a week. So why is he suddenly knocking on your door at midnight?

hii! milkman higuruma won! next will be sorority shoko <3

After graduating, you felt you needed a change, so you packed your things and moved. Luckily you didn’t go alone, you went with your best friend Yuki and got a cute house to live in together. It had all the space you two could ask for and it was a quiet town. 

A cute corner bookstore, the staple diner that the locals frequented and even a golfing center. The only thing out of the ordinary was that there was a milkman. You didn’t think those were popular anymore.

You first saw him while you were getting your mail. He stepped out of his truck, grabbed the glass bottles, and made his way to your neighbor’s across the street. He noticed you and offered a friendly smile and wave. You waved back and didn’t give it much thought. 

Not until he knocked on your door a week later.

“Hello, ma’am. I see you're new in town, and it looks like you’re signed up for our delivery service,” he said calmly. His firm grip of the milk bottles led you to look down and notice the muscles and veins on his arms. 

You took in his appearance. At a quick glance, you could tell he was attractive. The thing was that he had such tired eyes, and it was so hot. Did he overwork himself all the time?

“Oh yeah, my friend and I just moved here! How do we sign up?” you replied, a bit more eager than you meant to sound but he handed you the clipboard with a chuckle. He set down the milk and watched you fill out the papers. 

You could feel his eyes on you and you weren’t sure if he liked what he saw or if he was impatient. Until you remembered what you were wearing, your favorite robe that happened to be pretty sheer with fluffy feather trim.

You glanced at the man, noticing the blush settling across his face, and couldn’t help but grin. You finished signing up and handed him the clipboard back and glanced down at the name stitched onto his uniform. Hiromi 

“Thank you for your support ma’am” he replied with a smile. He told you the first order was always free as he handed you the milk and adjusted his hat before he made his way back to his truck. You watched him leave through your window and gawked at his frame. 

Broad shoulders. Tall. A sharp nose and an even sharper jawline. 

Why was he a milkman?

–

One morning, you woke up earlier than usual and sat outside, watching the sun rise and wait for Hiromi to arrive. 

Did you have to wait for him? 

No. 

That didn’t matter though because you two had grown an unexpected friendship. 

Soon enough he arrived and slowly walked up to your porch and smiled. He set the milk down and asked if he could sit next to you. You could tell he was tired, he probably woke up early like me.

“It’s a beautiful day,” He said, gratefully taking the cup of water you offered him. You let out a thoughtful sigh as you watched him drink the water. 

You enjoyed moments like this. It made you feel closer to him. Given the circumstances of him being your milkman but you could tell things were way deeper than a friendship. 

He thanked you for the water and began to get ready to leave. Before he left entirely, you reached out for his sleeve which caused him to stop and look back at you. 

You moved closer and gave him a quick hug. You broke the hug and smiled nervously at his calm expression. 

“Have a good day Hiromi..” you said, with a bit more confidence. He thanked you and nodded as he headed back to his truck, waving at you as he drove off your street.

–

Weeks had passed and you two had deepened your friendship but it was starting to get more serious at the quick glances and long hugs you would give each other. Yuki had purposely woken up early and saw you and Hiromi talking in the morning and decided to butt in. 

“Aww hello Mr. Milkman.. She won’t shut up about you!” she cooed, as she poked your left cheek and pulled you in close. 

“Well all good things I hope.” he said calmly. You could tell he was curious about your talks about him and he was so eager to get closer to you. 

“Sorry about her she-”

“Let me take you out” he interrupted, taking his hat off and smoothing his hair down with a confident smile. 

You smiled and told him yes, Yuki was jumping up and down at the question. You both said your goodbyes and watched him leave your house. 

She closed the door and rushed you to your closet to find the perfect outfit for tonight. You settled on a sweater and skirt combo, it wasn’t too fancy but also cute in your opinion. At eight p.m., he knocked on your door and you were greeted with a bouquet of your favorite flowers and a more casual Hiromi. 

You’d only ever seen him in his uniform and it was so nice to see him not while he was working. Though, if you were being honest, you missed his milkman outfit, it fit him perfectly and made your mind wander to places it shouldn’t. 

Dinner was amazing. You learned more about his childhood and how he became a milkman and you shared stories about your own life. 

Apparently, he was this big shot lawyer back in Japan but he decided to take a vacation to this town and he fell in love with it. It was quiet and calm here and he loved it so much.

He took the milkman job after he meant the previous milkman and noticed he was an older man and offered to work for him. He still gives legal advice and gives lectures at the local college but it was way more stress-free here.

As you listened, you understood him completely. It explained the tired eyes of years with stress from his previous job. 

He dropped you off at your house and stopped you at your door. 

“I enjoyed talking with you.. I really like you.” he confessed. Watching him, you smiled and pulled him in for a hug. As you both pulled away you both stared at each other's lips.

You were about to lean in until he pulled away first and chose to kiss your hand instead and watched you safely enter your home. 

You weren’t going to lie, you were pretty disappointed he didn’t kiss you. You appreciated him taking things slow but you began to get a bit antsy.

You both went on more dates and they were perfect but still no kiss. 

–

You woke up to your phone ringing. You groaned, checking your phone to see.. It was a call from Hiromi.

“Um hello?” you whispered, sleep still very much still taking over.

“Can you come outside?” he rushed, you could tell he was out of breath and rushed to the door thinking something was wrong. 

“Hiromi are you okay–” you started but were interrupted by his lips crashing into yours. You leaned more into the kiss and smiled as you pulled him closer. 

You broke the kiss, your foreheads resting against each other and your breaths lingered. 

“Sorry it took so long… I wanted to wait but I couldn’t take it anymore.”

“Aw, it's okay,” you cooed in his ear and grabbed his hand, looking up at him with your complete attention.. 

“What took you so long” 

“I was nervous..” he admitted, looking away slightly but you guided his head back to you.

“Come inside.” You giggled at his shy expression.

He lingered on the porch for a moment as you opened the door and looked back at him. 

“You sure?” he asked quietly. Smiling, you reached for his hand again and nudged him a bit. 

“Hiromi.. if you keep standing out there, my neighbors are going to think you’re delivering milk at midnight.”

A breathy laugh escaped him as he finally stepped inside, the front door clicking shut behind you both.

Thank you guys so much <3 I appreciate the support and I can’t wait to continue writing

summary: you were supposed to spend Saturday night with the fun twin. Instead, you got the smart one.

⸜(｡ ˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

Of course, on your first day, you were running a little late. You had your coffee in your hand with your phone giving you directions.

Left here. Straight, then another left…or was it right? 

You didn’t know. At this point you were just considering heading back to your dorm.

You knew transferring from a community college to a big college would be an interesting transition but why was this campus so big?

Finally, you spotted your building and let out a sigh of relief. Ending the google maps directions on your phone, you glanced at the time. Five minutes early, still. 

Yay! 

It was turning out to be an okay day until someone knocked you to the ground. Luckily your phone was still intact but your coffee was totally destroyed. 

“Dammit!” you whispered, brushing yourself off, you glanced up and saw this guy with a worried expression offering his hand out. 

You must’ve tuned him out when you fell but it seemed like he was repeating himself. 

“Hey! I’m so sorry… You good?” he said, tilting this head to the side as he supported you as you took his hand.

“Umm, yeah.. just a bit shaken, thank you for lifting me up.. Um-”

“Oh Satoshi! That's me.” 

You smiled and gave him your name. Now that you were off the ground, you finally got a good look at him. Honestly, he might’ve been the most gorgeous man you’d ever seen. 

Tall and def over six feet from what you could tell. Beautiful blue eyes and white hair that was mostly hidden in his cap.

“Well I have to get to class, thank you again!” you started looking at your phone as you saw you were about to be late.

“Are you going into Hipsin? With Professor Nanami?” you nodded, and he gave you a cheeky grin. 

“I’m also going there, come on, let's get there together” 

He didn’t give you time to answer as he grabbed your backpack and your hand dragging you toward class.

Maybe you just made a friend.

— ✿𓈒ॱ⬭ᩙ

It had been about a month into the semester, and things were going well. You liked your classes, had a good roommate, and even made a friend in one of your hardest classes. 

Who as you learned, was a frat guy, but not just any frat guy. 

No, this was Satoshi Gojo. He was the president of his fraternity chapter, which was pretty impressive considering he was only a sophomore. 

As much as you loved being his friend, you learned the difficulties with being so close to the chapter president. 

The constant flirting. The broken promises. The fact that he was always late. 

None of them were huge issues, but they definitely got on your nerves sometimes. Still, he was a good friend.

“Ugh, class was soooo boring” he whined, looking at you for validation to which he didn’t get. You rolled your eyes and poked him as you watched the rest of your classmates leave.

“You know you should probably take notes, that would keep you entertained, don’t you think?”

“Notes are boring! I have everything I need in here” he said, pointing to his head before sticking out his tongue. 

“Yeah, yeah…how do you even have an A though? That first exam killed me!” 

The class average had been a brutal 65%, which was pretty normal given the class's difficulty.

You were sitting at a high C. It wasn’t terrible, but you knew the next exam could either pull you to a B.. or tank your grade completely. 

“Do you think you could tutor me?” you asked as you both walked out of the building and headed to your favorite cafe. 

“Aww, you need help from big Toshi?” he cooed, as he lightly bumped his shoulder against yours. 

“Ugh whatever! Can you do this Saturday… around seven?” 

You watched as he looked at his phone to check his schedule. 

“Mm-hm. Yeah, I got you. I’ll see you there.” 

“Wait, you won’t cancel on me again, right? Because last week you said you would hang out with me and you had to cancel” you said, giving him fake quotation marks to exaggerate your sarcasm. 

“Oh, come on.. I’ve only canceled on you twice. I promise I’ll be there this time.

“Great, thank you so much!!” you replied, choosing to trust him again, though it was hard to say not with those eyes.

“Let me buy you a smoothie,” He offered, as you both went along with your day.

— ✿𓈒ॱ⬭ᩙ

“Yoo Toru! Can you do me a big favor?” 

“Huh? It’s two in the morning” 

“Can you pretty please tutor this cutie in my class?”

“Huh?”

What had his brother gotten himself into now?

ᯓ★ˎˊ˗

You never would have expected that waking up to the Satoru Gojo making you breakfast would become a normal thing. 

Especially with the events of last night, which still lingered in your mind as you looked around his room and took in the aftermath of your activities. 

“Morning sleepy head” he stated, shirt still off and showcasing the scratches you left all over his back when he kept driving his hips deeply into you. You shook your head, trying to focus on the scene in front of you. 

“hi... how did you sleep?” you replied, yawning as you stole a piece of bacon. 

Toru chuckled at your sleepy expression, “I slept pretty good, you look tired still.”

He glanced back at his plate noticing a piece missing.

“Wait.. you stole my bacon”

“You made it.”

He poked your cheek, “Exactly, you criminal.”

Rolling your eyes, you grabbed another piece of bacon. “Well we were up till 3am so.. yeah I'm tired, Toru.”

As much as he hated to admit it, he loved when you called him Toru. You said it jokingly years ago after he had been teasing you. 

His breath caught then, and it still did now, though he’d gotten better at hiding it. 

Finally sitting down next to you, he let out a long sigh. You glanced over at him, remembering the reason you two got in this situation in the first place. 

Not that this hadn't happened before but this time was different. You looked at him longer than usual and he did the same. 

You watched him eat slowly, as if the food and your presence were the only things grounding him. 

“You don’t have to do everything all at once..” 

“It’s funny.” 

You turned to him. 

“Funny?”

He finished his plate before turning to face you completely. He pulled you closer, your breaths mingling as he studied your face.

You closed your eyes, taking in his scent and presence as he moved closer to kiss your lips. 

Your lips met, and you both smiled into the kiss. Soft groans escaped the both of you as you both deepened the kiss.

Unfortunately, you were interrupted with his phone ringing which he quickly turned off choosing to focus on you. 

A few minutes passed and it rang again. 

He reluctantly broke the kiss, watching your doe eyes follow him as he grabbed his phone. 

“Mei, what is it..” you watched him leave the kitchen as the silence of his apartment settled around you. 

You had a mixed relationship with Mei Mei, she was confident, smart, but you always had a weird feeling about her.  

To put it simply you did not like her. She got to work with Toru and had easy access to him, more than you felt you had.

Despite his demeanor with you, deep down you knew how difficult this “relationship” was and that it wasn’t real. 

At the end of the day, he’d always be the strongest first..and your friend first. 

“Yo, you good?” you jumped at his finger softly poking your back. 

You giggled when you saw his goofy grin spread across his face, hiding your own in your hands. 

“You’re back! How was the call?” you asked, with more emotion than you meant to have. He grabbed your hands, “I have to leave for a mission.. It will be a week long.”

You looked down at your interlocked fingers and glanced back up to him. “I don’t want to leave but duty calls.” 

You nodded. “I don’t leave until tomorrow, though, so we still have some time together.” He whispered to you jokingly. 

“Toru.”

“No- not right now. I just want to be with you. No talking”

You tried to argue but he kissed you. 

His kisses always had so much love and passion in them. 

You couldn’t get enough but how long would this last?

You shouldn’t be involved.

You shouldn’t love this.

You shouldn’t love him.

… you work at a top law firm thriving in your career only looking for more battles. when you're instructed to work with your rival company you’re shocked but that wasn’t the worst part. You’d have to work with Armin, someone from your past that could make or break you. Will you maintain your composure or allow yourself to obsess over the past?  

Chapter 4: ✩‧ ｡. Remember ₊˚⊹౨ৎ ₊˚⊹

“This movie is pretty boring, you know.” you stated for the third time as you continued to watch this ‘classic film I just had to watch’. 

“Come on y/n, it can’t be that bad” You turned and watched as Armin looked at you with soft eyes. Feeling bad you turned away. “no.. I guess not”. 

“Oh good because this is a trilogy!” turning back to him you gasped sarcastically, “There’s no way I’m watching more of these movies”. He pouted, clearly upset. “But please give it a chance! There’s this one part that I know you’ll love!” you watched him and smiled. You could never get annoyed with his rants or his “interesting” movie choices. 

Moving closer to him you wrap your arms around his neck and pull him closer. Flustered he looks at you but holds you closer. “What’s up?” Armin replied softly, smiling as he looked at your lips. 

“Oh nothing..” 

“You sure? You seemed like you were upset a second ago.” 

You giggled at his comment. “I could never be upset with you silly.. you’re too cute for that” Armin avoided eye contact choosing to hide his blushing face. “Y-you can’t say things like that..” “Yeah yeah…” 

He grabbed you, making you sit on his lap as you held on his shoulders for support. Shocked from his sudden movements you were going to reply till you felt something soft on your lips. 

“Armin-” he shut you up swiftly, smiling into the kiss as you kissed him back and pushed yourself closer to him. Running your hands through his hair, which resulted in a soft groan from the blond. 

Both breaking away from the kiss, out of breath you both stared at each other. “.. kiss me again.. please.” Not even bothering to say a reply he smiles softly and pulls you in close. Feeling all over your body slowly. So close. So close- 

“Y/N wake the hell up!” 

Opening your eyes slowly you found Mikasa towering over you with an amused expression all over her face as she waved in your face trying to wake you up more. “Woah, you okay? Seemed like you had a good dream.” she said giggling, “I hate to wake you up though buuut we need to go to the mall. So get up.”

“What’s at the mall?” You said cracking your back and rolling out of bed. “Swimsuits duh” she said like it was obvious as she walked over to your mirror. Rolling your eyes you shoved her playfully as you made your way to the bathroom. 

Staring at the mirror you looked in the reflection, noting your tired expression. Continuing to get ready you remembered what you dreamed about. Well more like who..

Armin. 

This was bad. Dreams were only the start then soon it would be daydreams. How were you going to face him now.. though you did want to see where the dream was going. And you hated that.

You looked in the mirror putting on a few last accessories then grabbed your purse, making your way over to Mikasa as she waited in the car.

Finally reaching the mall, you meet up with Sasha and Annie in the front. After aimlessly walking around you found a store selling swimsuits. You looked around not really finding anything that was catching your eye. Sasha picked out many options for you but they just weren’t it. One was way too tight with a ugly polka dot pattern and the last one had almost no fabric..

Your mind couldn’t help but wonder about what Armin would say if you wore it. Stay focused!

After a while Mikasa ended up finding us matching swimsuits in our favorite colors and we left. Hungry from all the walking and shopping you guys stopped to eat. 

Overwhelmed by the options your mind started to wonder about this morning. Images of his face and his smile flashed in your mind. 

His silky hair and bright eyes looking at you with so much love. It made your heart ache. Why must he be on your mind after all this time? 

Knocking you out of your thoughts Annie nudged you. “Are you doing alright? You seem lost in thought..” she said, watching your flustered face. Rubbing your shoulder you replied slowly “Oh yeah. Just a lot of options, you know?” Annie nods still suspicious of your answer but moves along and helps you pick your lunch. 

“Mhm this is so good!” Sasha exclaims over her abundance of food. Reaching over for a napkin on the table you noticed Annie staring at you. Looking around you then noticed they all were looking at you. 

“What?” 

 “So I got to know what’s the deal with Armin?” Annie asked with her blank expression as she tossed a handful of fries in her mouth. Sighing softly you looked down, not really in the mood to answer the question but you figured that you might as well get it over with now. 

“We uh.. used to date in college..” you said softly, Annie chuckled, “Oooh I see how it is now. Messy breakup?” Mikasa looked over at you with a sympathetic look “mmh you could say that..” 

Annie nodded and went back into her food, “Don’t worry, I’ll be on drama control.” You sigh softly and smile back at her returning to your food.

“Alright, is everyone ready to board? Speak up now if there are any concerns.” Erwin announced to our group. Moving over to Mikasa you noticed her glancing at Eren as he talked with Armin. “Earth to Mikasa” you said in a playful tone standing next to her as you joined in watching the boys. 

“Oh I’m sorry.. just got distracted I guess..” you noticed her clutch her scarf she had for ages, the one that Eren gave her years ago. “..I’m just thinking about college.” 

Flashback

The sun beamed down on us as we sat at the nearby park after our classes. You watched as Eren’s ice cream began to melt down his hand and Mikasa reached to grab napkins. 

“Eren! I told you to be more careful..” Mikasa huffed out as she shoved napkins in Eren’s face, “Look..I’m..soooorrrry!” he said through laughs as he wiped himself off. You and Armin sat side by side watching the whole scene unfold, chuckling to yourselves.

Soon you guys were back to normal all huddled together near your computer as you watched the newest episode of your favorite show. You laid in Armin’s lap while he played with your hair. 

You looked up at him smiling. He smiled back and poked your cheeks as he fixed his glasses with his other hand. There was a calming breeze that brushed along you guys adding to the calming environment. Nothing mattered, it was just him, just us.

It was good then..

–

Knocking yourself out of your head you noticed Armin was looking back at you with a slight smile. You waved back sharing that same smile deep down wishing things could go back to normal, back to when things were good between you too. 

Boarding the plane you made it to your seat being the first one to sit in the row, though your seat was in the middle. Soon Annie made her way to you and sat next to you, taking the window seat, and you both soon started exchanging small talk. All of the things waiting around were driving you crazy though. You weren’t most fond of planes but it was only a few hours, right? 

Glancing down at your phone you searched for a playlist to help make the time move quicker when your last seatmate sat next to you. Which happened to be Armin. 

You looked up from your phone to find Armin already looking at you. You greeted him then turned back to your phone. This was supposed to be a calming flight. Now I have to act all normal sitting right next to him! 

“Attention this is your captain speaking..”

After the announcements, the flight took off and you sighed, slowly growing more anxious as the ride continued. You looked over and noticed Annie fast asleep while you nervously fiddled with the seat belt. “Hey”

You turned to your other side and looked at Armin as he said your name. “You don’t seem alright..” you nodded explaining, “..yeah you know how I- uh I mean I just don’t really like being on planes” you said clutching the seat armrests. 

Armin gave a knowing look and grabbed your hand. You paused and watched your hand entwined. His hand covered your shaky ones as your breathing slowed down to a normal pace. “..ha thank you Armin..” you said softly smiling feeling content in his comfort even for just a bit. 

“You can lay your head on my shoulder too if you’d like by the way” Armin rambled as he rubbed his thumb over your connected hands. If you weren’t nervous out of your mind you would’ve questioned the whole situation. You guys had barely talked the whole time you guys were reunited but this moment just felt right. You had secretly hoped it would never end as you laid your head down on his shoulder. Soon after you both feel asleep, hands together and close again. 

Soon enough the plane arrived at the destination. “hey, wake up, we're here.” Annie said as she nudged you, which caused Armin to wake up as well. Looking back down again you remembered how your hands were together and you blushed letting go softly. “We better go..” you said nervously as Annie giggled to herself at the scene in front of her. 

Once you all exited the plane and found your luggage you met up with Mikasa as the rest of you got the car assignments. After a little drive you all arrived at the hotel which was right next to a beach, you watched as Sasha and Connie gawked over the size of the hotel. “Can we stay here forever?” Sasha asked with her face pressed up to the window. Levi and Erwin both rolled their eyes in response. 

You all met in the lobby, listening to Erwin as he handed out room assignments and discussed the schedule for tomorrow. Zoning out you glanced over slightly to watch Armin. He stood next to Bertholdt holding his luggage in one hand while his hand laid on his side. You looked down at his hands and remembered how those same hands laid with yours you couldn’t help but blush which didn’t go unnoticed by him.

You were all assigned one roommate, prior to your request you got to room with Mikasa, and everyone was all on the same floor. Waiting for the elevator you tried to avoid eye contact with the blond but it was so hard when he was directly looking at you, with an expression you couldn’t make. Luckily Mikasa, Eren and Annie walked over to the elevator and joined us and got into the elevator as it opened. 

Room 312.. Room 312.. “Oh I found it! Over here Mikasa” you signaled as you began to put out the key card. She walked over and smiled at you. “Guess what!” you didn’t like this was going, why was she so happy? You saw her talking to Eren and Armin while you volunteered to look for the rooms so who knows what she could’ve done.

“What?” you replied slightly nervously, “Eren and Armin are like two rooms away from us.” Mikasa spoke with a hint of mischief in her eyes. “So? I don’t understand-” you started but were completely distracted as you watched Armin open his hotel room that was in fact two doors away. This wouldn’t be too bad right? 

Just before Armin closed the door fully he waved at you with a smile to which you responded with the same, smiling softly at the action as he faded away. Mikasa raised her eyebrows at you as you finally opened the door, “uhhh what was that? I was just making a silly joke but that between you two…What happened on the plane??” you placed your things on the bed and sat down, laying down enjoying the softness of the bed, delaying your response to her question. 

“Well nothing much you know.. he just helped me calm down on the plane. You know how I am..but we also kinda held hands and layed on each other too” you said slightly embarrassed as you covered your face. “You guys what!!” Mikaksa rushed over to your side prying your hands away from your face, “that’s like huge!! I thought you both would be super awkward seeing each other again but it’s like you guys keep gravitating towards each other.” she said with hope while she poked your cheeks.

“What no no, he was just being helpful you know.” you blurted out, trying to believe it yourself.

“What if he-” 

“No.”

“Come on, you never know! I could talk with Eren and-”

“Mikasa! No please drop it. I can’t think about this. I’m the one who broke things off.. I should've tried more.” you started “It wouldn’t be fair plus that’s how he always is so don’t make up fantasies in your mind.”

“Girl.. there’s no way you're putting the blame all on yourself. It was a mutual decision and you guys needed it. There's no reason you can’t start again though.” Mikasa pleaded as she rubbed your hands. 

You wanted to believe her, truly. But maybe it was best to just keep this relationship you had going on. Maybe you guys could be friends again. “I know what you're thinking y/n and I need you to be real with yourself,” Mikasa started knocking you out of your thoughts, “you think he would care for you or even look at you like that if he wasn’t thinking the same thing?” Your heart ached at the thought. 

You sighed and shrugged your shoulders overflowing with the many possibilities. “I don’t know.. I need to take a walk” you said with a conflicted look, Mikasa nodded and gave you a quick hug and let you go as you moved to grab your headphones and phone as you made your way to the beach. 

—

Once you had made it to the beach everything seemed to be more clear. You picked your favorite playlist and stared at the sunset. It was so beautiful and you couldn’t help but think about Armin. He loves the ocean.. 

Thinking back to your conversation with Mikasa you thought, could he possibly want to be together again? 

Sure it had only been a few days since you two were reunited but maybe it was fate. You don’t believe in that though.. right? This was becoming a bit too confusing. 

Your relationship with him started the same way. Quick glances, silly jokes, late night phone calls.. You missed it. Would it be wrong to give into your heart's desires? You both got the jobs you wanted and that was what you both wanted. 

As you watched the sun continue to set and the ocean waves flow in a mesmerizing way you had made up your mind. You would allow yourself to let yourself love again. Be close with him again. Armin..

Satisfied with your “plan” you made your way back to the hotel stealing one last glance at the view before you made it back to your room. 

What you didn’t know was that Armin was also at the beach. A little distance behind you but he still saw you, staring at the ocean like you were in great thought. Armin was complete in this moment as he watched two of the things he loved most; the ocean and you. 

He made his mind up then that he would get them back together. He couldn’t lie it's been hard without her and even with the “chill guy” act he puts on. With this he also made his way back to the hotel in hopes he would be able to make it in time to see before they turned in for the night. 

—

You walked out of the elevator to your floor fumbling the hotel key card in your hand as your mind wandered. Finally reaching your door you looked up and saw Armin walking to his room. You smiled softly at him as he grabbed his key card as well. 

“Night.. Armin” you said softly when he turned to you. Once you saw his grin you opened your door and locked the door. 

“..goodnight y/n..” Armin whispered before he opened the door to his room eager for the next day to see you again.

time → 9:58 am 

location → At ESF (E. Smith Firm)

After meeting Pixis and his team you were all briefed about the extra details of the case and the importance. 

“I know you all know the basics but what you all should know is that there’s a mole in our company.” Pixis started with a sad expression, probably because it was someone he knew. 

“Prior to this knowledge, there was an error in our system that dealt with tracking our income in our main base. Now the error didn’t seem like a huge deal so our team ignored it.” Listening to him continue, you jotting down notes. “I wasn’t notified of this issue though. It was mainly handled by our multiple financial teams. However they never labeled it as an error until two weeks after it originally appeared.” 

“We believe that someone on our financial team created this error and changed our data regarding our investors and their money. KI is a company that works with one of our investors, they noticed that they weren’t getting their correct share and asked around. We later found out this spread to nearly half our investors, making them very angry.”

Everyone nodded. “Hence the reason KI took on the case. We’re hoping to prove that there was in fact a spy and that our company is still safe for the investors but also the community.” With that Pixis sat down, conversing with his personal team that consisted of three people: Hannes, Piek and Petra. They all seemed genuine and cared about the company, which would help with presenting the case.

time → 11:15 am 

location → Court Room

“The defendants plead not guilty, your Honor.” 

The judge nods and declares the next meeting will be in two weeks. After the judge ends the session both sides start to get to leave. As you gathered your things you noticed people from KI starting to walk over to your side. Erwin and Levi greeted them, finally getting all of your things you noticed all the people there. A shorter man with black hair and circle glasses stood next to a taller man with blond hair and a beard. That must be Zeke. Taller than expected but not bad, seems like a worthy opponent. Who’s that behind him, oh don’t tell me-

“Y/N long time no see! Guess we’ll be going against each other yet again!” Turning around you heard his annoying voice.. Floch. It seemed that even with a high profile case he would still be there to annoy you. Great.  

“Hi Floch, what are you doing here?” You replied out of courtesy but you would ignore him in a heartbeat. Today you were not in the mood. Especially with Armin to think about- “HELLO! y/n you there? You spaced out when I tried to answer you.” he said smirking as he laid his hand on my shoulder.

“Floch, please don’t touch me.” “I was just making sure you were alright! It wasn’t like last time Onyankopon isn’t here and I’ve learned my lesson. So just chill.” He defended. Ugh why won’t he won’t he take the freaking hint. “Look-”

“Is there a problem?” You turned slightly to see Armin staring glaring at Floch. The sight was alluring seeing that he didn’t have his normal soft expression that would make anyone melt. He looked angry, it was odd, you’d never seen him like this. Was he upset about Floch? Sure. But why was he this visually upset?

“Floch here won’t leave me alone.” you replied playfully to try and deescalate the situation. Both men stared down at each other with dangers in their eyes. “Armin?” your voice seemed to break him out of his trance as he looked back to you and his face softened. “Uh I’m sorry.” “Yeah me too y/n” Floch replied surprisingly and then he walked away with a sneaky grin that didn’t go unnoticed by Armin.

“Could we talk?” Soon enough you and Armin were in an empty hallway in silence. 

“Armin what’s this about-”

“Does he do that a lot?” Armin said cutting you off, shocking you with his urgency. “Sadly, yes. He’s just been asking me out for about a year now. I said no thinking he got the message but he still likes to talk to me regardless.” you stared blankly at the floor. He noticed you stopped and your demeanor changed. He wouldn’t pry, not now at least. 

“I could do something you know.” he said, stepping closer to you. A little too close. So close I could hear his breath. I could see that one hair out of place, begging for you to just fix. So close. “I believe you could. I’ve got Onyankopon and you to help me. You two should work up a plan.” you said softly laughing to change the atmosphere. “I don’t need you too though it’s fine..”

Onyankopon? Armin wondered, and just as he was about to ask you Mikasa appeared. And why would you decline his help? What else weren’t you saying? 

“Oh hey guys! We’re leaving, come on girl.” You nodded and waved to Armin, making your way to Mikasa leaving Armin to ponder his thoughts.

Making it back to ESF, we debriefed on the case. Erwin, Levi and Hange all gave their “encouraging speeches” and announced you’d be leaving for the work trip in two days. Meaning you’d have to pack for a week. So sudden. You watched everyone smile in hopes for a break despite it being a work trip. Soon enough everyone started to back up to head home, all excited for the trip.

“Did you hear y/n! We’ll be near a beach, so we should bring our swimsuits!” Sasha stated excitedly as she made her way over to Mikasa and you. “Well I don’t have one.” you said softly and shrugged your shoulders. “What?! We need to go shopping then!” 

You rolled your eyes playfully. Shopping was something you really didn’t want to do tomorrow but Mikasa already said you’d go while Sasha invited Annie. “Well I’ll see you guys tomorrow then.” you said, smiling at them. I was hoping to catch up on some sleep.. You said bye and headed home.

Finally laying down for bed your phone dinged, looking at the clock you read 12:27. Who was texting you this late? Deciding to check it just in case it was an emergency.

hey, it’s armin. 

Got your number from Mikasa. In case you need me. I don’t know. 🤷‍♂️ 

Just let me know, I’ll be there. 

[read 12:30]

Thank you Armin. 

Good night 

[read 12:36]

You replied nervously not knowing if you should say anything else. Saving his number and hearting his message you turned your phone off and all your lights preparing for a possible long day tomorrow. 

At least I won’t have to see him tomorrow.
