Part 12 - My Decision

-EDITED-

𝙀𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙛𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙖𝙞𝙙, "𝘼𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧, 𝙔/𝙣 𝙇𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙩. 𝙔/𝙣, 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙧, 𝙢𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝙢𝙮 𝙗𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙, 𝘼𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣 𝘼𝙧𝙡𝙚𝙧𝙩." Eren introduced us to each other. Why's this Armin here for me? Was this day just a cruel prank to play on me? Did this day mean nothing to him?

"Leonhart?" Armin referred to my last name like it was something special. He had this particular look on his face, a look of hope and sadness was noticeable.

"Yeah. Y/n Leonhart. Eren, what the fuck is going on?" I turned to face Eren instead of the cute blonde. Rather than jumping to conclusions, I gave Eren a chance to explain to me what exactly is happening.

"Y/n baby-"

"Don't call me that," I said sternly now annoyed. But instantly regretted being so rude to him, but something in me told me he deserved it.

Eren only sighed and continued, "Y/n, I just want you to listen to me, Armin is here to collect you and take you to the airship."

I knotted my eyebrows together. "Airship? What airship? Are you insane? I'm going back to my apartment. This was a mistake." I scoffed and turned around and began walking away only to be stopped by Eren grabbing my wrist and pulling me into his chest. Eren used his free hand to hug me and his other to support both our weights on his crutches. I was speechless at the sudden act.

"Sweetheart, I only want what's best for you. Trust me, darling." He said in a soft soothing voice while wrapping his arm around my waist.

I started to relax into his touch and without realising, I wrapped my arms around his neck until someone cleared their throat from behind us and pulled me back out of the illusion Eren had on me. "Sorry to disturb your little moment, but we don't have much time left. clocks ticking, Eren." Armin walked closer to the both of us and Eren didn't let go of me. Something told me he didn't want to let go.

"Eren, I'm not going anywhere," I said into his neck while gripping him tightly. When did I start to trust him? When he kissed me? No, when I kissed him. Or maybe after today, when he showed me how happy and beautiful Marley can be.

"Y/n." He said sternly.

"Eren I can't just go somewhere without any concept."

"You're going to go and you're going to wait for me," he whispered sweetly into my neck.

I parted from him and looked into his beautiful eyes. He wore a small smile and he placed his hand on my cheek. "Right dear?" He asked innocently as if nothing is gonna go completely wrong. Or so I thought.

What if I am in danger and he's only just trying to help me? But what about Akari? Reiner? Peick? Captain Zeke and Porco? Would I just have to leave them behind? You could say a million thoughts ran into my head at that very moment. I didn't know what to do. But I had to make a decision that could potentially change my whole life. Oh, how stupid I was to make my final decision.

ARMIN POV:

I was waiting at the spot me and Eren agreed on. I believe he sent me a letter personally regarding a personal request he wanted me to help him with. Until now I have no idea what it could be. But I expected it to be about the plan.

Time goes by and Eren is yet to appear. I'm starting to think he's forgotten. He's changed. And I could only hope for him to come to his senses. To stop this and to return to being my and Mikasa's best friend. My brother.
