The King Of Cowards And The Queen Of Pain (ArminxAnnie)

7: Annie

~ Annie's P.O.V ~

I thought that Armin never wanted to speak to me again. I slowly turn my phone off and put it back in my pocket.

Reiner can wait.

"I guess" I sighed.

"Okay" He said.

Armin walked closer to me, but not awkwardly close.

"I'm sorry" He apologized.

"Okay. What about?" I asked.

"For saying that I couldn't talk to you. That's what Mikasa told me to say" Armin confessed.

"Why?" I asked.

"Krista and I dating is a front. I guess it saves her the cold-shoulder of everyone else. She's gay" He explained.

"Oh. Okay" I said.

"I'm sorry that I made you think that we couldn't be friends" Armin apologized, again.

"I already said that it was fine, Armin" I sighed.

"Sweet" He grinned.

"Won't this make it seem like you're cheating?" I asked.

"Whatever. Krista and I both don't have feelings for each other anymore" Armin said.

"You sure?" I asked.

"I'm 100% positive" He said.

"Then let's do something" I grinned.

"Are we really gonna skip again?" Armin asked.

I nodded. He grinned and we left the building. Some teachers were in the halls but didn't give us a second glance.

I skip too much for them to give two shits. I wonder why they ignored Armin?

We were off school grounds in ten minutes. We just walked around town.

A few other students were hanging about.

They all smiled and waved at me and I returned the gesture.

We ended up hanging out at the park. We're sitting on an old wooden bench.

"Annie" Armin says, suddenly serious.

"Yes?" I asked.

I looked into his blue eyes and he looked into mine.

"I have to ask you something" He said.

"Then say it. You're freaking me out" I said.

I don't want him to say that this is the last time we can hang out.

"Annie..I..think I'm in love with you" He admitted.

My jaw dropped and he started to blush. I felt heat rush up to my cheeks.

"I-I'm sorry..that was out of line" He said.

He scrambled to get up but I grabbed him by the hand and pulled him back down onto the bench.

"I know I'm in love with you" I smiled.

He grinned and then we were kissing.
