F. Fake Dating

In which Y/n and Armin have been fake dating for the last couple of months, and it turns into something real

~~~~~

I stood near a wall as there was a drink in my hand. Armin's hand was around my waist as we stood there at Eren's party. Neither of us wanted to be here, but Eren didn't give Armin a choice and it would look weird if I didn't come so here we are. Both of us didn't really know what do so we just stood there

"I'd much rather be at home watching Netflix" I told him

"Honestly same" He responded. Eren walked over with a grin

"What's up party people? Glad you two could make it" Eren said

"You didn't give us a choice" Armin stated

"Yeah, yeah.. whatever anyway I'd avoid going into the other room, Armin.. your ex is down there" Eren said. I felt Armin's grip around my waist tighten. He wasn't a big fan of his ex considering she cheated on him

"What the hell is she doing here?" Armin asked. Eren shrugged his shoulders

"Someone must've invited her" Eren said

"You know I think I've had enough for one night. I'm gonna head home" Armin said

"Yeah, it's been fun" I said since I didn't want to be here any longer either. Not because there was someone here I hated, I just didn't want to be here. The two of us began to walk towards the exit

"Oh my, Armin is that you?!" A feminine voice asked. I looked up at Armin to see him gritting his teeth, before he turned around to face her. I turned as well

"Oh, wow it really is you! How long has it been since we last spoke?!" She asked with a smile

"It's been since months since you cheated on me" Armin spoke angrily. She chuckled

"Oh, come on.. you can't still be mad.. it was an accident, y'know" She said as she got closer to Armin. I wasn't jealous or anything but I really hate cheaters so I wanted to be as petty as possible. I wrapped my arms around Armin's torso. Armin seem to catch on to what was about to happen so he put his arm around me

"Oh, wow.. who are you?" I asked with a fake smile

"I'm an ex of Armin's, who are you?" She asked with a fake smile. This

"I'm his girlfriend" I said with that same fake smile. She didn't seem to like this

"Oh, it seems your standards have dropped Armin.. you could really be doing much better than that" She spoke. I gave her a fake laugh

"That's so interesting, I've seen photos of you and I actually thought you were rather pretty, but now that I see you in person I can tell they were photoshopped" I said with a smile. She gave me a glare

"Excuse me?!" She asked

"Oh, sorry.. I didn't mean to say that out loud" I said. She looked at Armin

"You're seriously gonna let her talk like that to me?" She asked him. He gave her the cold shoulder as he grip around me tightened

"Yes, it's not like she's saying anything false.. I mean you do photoshop your pictures" He said. Her jaw dropped

"Okay?! But I'm still prettier than her! You can't tell me she's prettier than me! I mean look at her!" She yelled. Armin looked at me.

"I don't know, I think she's really pretty" He said looking into my eyes. I couldn't help but feel my face heat up.  The way he said it made me feel butterflies in my stomach. I put my hand up on his face as I side eyed the girl. I wanted to watch the look on her face

"You sure know how to make a girl feel special" I said to him before I put my lips on his. This was the cherry on top of my pettiness. I felt his lips move against mine. This wasn't the first time we had kissed for public appearances but this time, something felt different. This time it felt real, like it wasn't just an act. I felt my heart pounding as we broke apart. I looked over at the girl with a smirk on my face. She just rolled her eyes and walked off. The two of us left the Party and got into Armin's car

The car ride was silent, but not in a good way. It was awkward. No one spoke up. I looked over at him to see his eyes focused on the road. I looked out the window and slowly brought my fingers to my lips

"I don't think we should fake date anymore" Armin spoke up. I felt my eyes widen

"What? Why? Is this because of what I did?" I asked as I looked at him. He used his free hand to cover his mouth as he still didn't make eye contact

"Yeah, I can't do it anymore" He said. I felt my heart breaking which was weird because none of it was real

"Look, I know I was a little petty, but she deserved it, and it made our relationship look even more real!" I defended myself

"Yeah, that's the thing.. I can't keep doing this.." He said

"You know, if we're gonna fake break up, you can atleast have the decency to explain it instead of being so vague about it" I said annoyed. He pulled over the car and put it in park before he turned and looked at me

"I can't keep fake dating you, because I've fallen in love with you for real" He said. I didn't even know how to react to that. I felt my heart pounding in my chest as I just stared at him. He groaned and went to put the car back in drive, but I stopped him. I put my hand on his face, and made him look at me. I then leaned in and kissed him. He immediately kissed back and put a hand on the back of my head. He then pulled away, embarrassed. I thought he looked kind of cute blushing

"You're right, I think we should stop fake dating.. let's date for real" I said
