Armin sat alone on his balcony, he had gotten called home from school because he was being picked on again, " That's the third time this month, I didn't even last until noon... " he muttered under his breath. Armin checked his watch and sighed, " 11:25 " Armin rested his head on his palm. There was only one reason he was picked on, Eren Jäger.

Yes, THE Eren Jäger, one of the most popular kids at school, Armin was pretty popular himself, but not as much as Eren. The spastic kid was Armin's dream, he was what Armin's grandfather would say, ' The big cheese ' Cheese... Eren was nothing like Cheese. If cheese could be the most popular kid in school, then it would make sense, but Cheese is not a living and breathing organism that deals with human problems, therefore Eren in not cheese.

But this isn't about cheese. This is about Eren.

Anyways, Armin is head over heals for Eren, and if he EVER had a chance with Eren, he would definitely take it but there were a few problems about that. Eren was dating Mikasa.

Well at least they might be.

Nobody was ever sure, because they could go from making out in the halls one day to getting pulled from school by having a fistfight the next, even if they weren't going out, they were nearly polar opposites! There is also another problem, Eren was a huge ladies man, meaning he wasn't always with Mikasa, the only girls who he hasn't dated were the teachers, Ymir and Christa, but those were self explanatory. Then the last thing, he was as straight at a pole, leaving it obvious that Armin would never have a chance.

Armin jolted in surprise when he heard his phone ring, he quickly grabbed it from his pocket and answered, " Hello? " " ARMIN! " shouted a familiar voice, it was pretty hard to tell who though, " N-no need to shout. Who is this? " Armin replied, moving the phone a small distance from his ear, in case the person shouted again, " That's not important, why aren't you at school? " they replied, Armin moved the phone back to his ear, " well, I had to go home, I got hurt, why? seriously, who is this? " before Armin could say another word the voice blared into the phone like if it were a microphone at one of school pep rallys, " HURT?! " they quickly hung up without another word. Armin sat up in the lawn chair, puzzled about the phone call, thinking of who the unknown caller was, they were a boy, and he went to school with Armin, and the only boy at school who had his number was Jean. Did Jean get a new phone? the voice didn't sound too much like Jean's though. Armin's thoughts were cut off when he heard someone yell his name from the bottom story of his house, on the outside of course, Armin looked down from where he was. A boy with brown hair, that could be anybody! But then the boy looked up, with spectacular spring green eyes, and perfect tan skin. It was Eren. Armin froze in his spot, Eren was the one who called. Eren cared about him. " Armin! " Eren called out from below once again, Armin snapped from his thoughts and rushed down his stairs, he opened the front door, millions of questions on his mind, but they were pushed aside when Eren hugged Armin. Armin stopped breathing as his face turned red, " Eren? " he managed to choke out, " Oh! Sorry! " Eren let go of the blonde, holding him by the shoulders, inspecting Armin's face closely " Can I come in? I'll clean off the cuts or... " " S-sure " Armin lead Eren into his house with a shaky hand.

Eren cared about Armin.
