"E-EREN!?" Armin exclaims from behind.

"So you finally came. Man I have to say you literally came on the worst day ever. Now can you please move, I'm having a serious conversation with Cho Hee right now." Jean pushed Eren to the side and stepped towards Armin, but was blocked once more.

"Oh hell no! If you were having a serious conversation you wouldn't have been in front of the whole damn school! Cho Hee is my wife, you touch her and I'll kill you!"

"Ha as if,we both know the truth. You're mean to her and she hates your guts."

"Well things change," Eren steps closer to the point him and Jean's nose's were touching.

"Yeah I don't think so, you're still using her like a trophy protecting her like that."

"I wouldn't have to if pricks like you weren't so eager to take her away from me."

"So you agree her feelings for you are so fragile that a simple well thought confession can take her away from you."

"P-Please stop this!" Armin yells as he separates the two with his hands. "We're in front of the entire school, and I don't want everyone knowing my secret!" Armin whisper yelled the last part to the two before taking a step back for them to collect themselves. The two continued to look at each other with pure hate in their eyes, but as they processed what Armin had just said they both looked to the crowd in silence. Realizing the severity of the situation, the two simply stood there until Eren took Armin by the wrist and started to walk off stage.

Jean followed behind closely, leaving a crowd of people yelling all sorts of questions at them. When the three had reached the piano room that was near the stage area, the fight between Armin's two suitors continued.

"Now that we're alone I can finally beat the hell out of you!" Eren says as he starts to charge towards Jean with a raised fist.

"Fine by me bring it on." Jean complies as he does the same gesture.

"Will you two stop it!?" Armin pleads to the two but they didn't listen. Instead his two friends who had crushes on him started to punch each other back and for a bit unsure of how to stop them, Armin gave out a loud groan once he noticed at camera crew in the windows. Knowing that the situation was going to get worst of the rest of them if he didn't stop the duo in front of him quickly, Armin analyzed their movements before acting.

Seeing as the two were unskilled fighters, Armin had concluded that they were using all of their energy into their punches. Every so often the two would take a step or two away from each other until they threw another punch. They did this so that they could regain their breath again. Timing each pause and memorizing their semi-random patter, Armin saw the perfect opportunity he stepping in the middle of the two right as Eren was about to throw another punch. The seconds after that happened all too quickly. Eren as predicted was unable to stop his punch, and hit Armin in the cheek sending him back towards Jean who caught him as he fell unconscious.


"This is all your fault horse face!" Eren accuses as he sits next to Armin on the opposite side of the bed.

"My fault, how is this my fault!? You're the one that punched him to make him fall unconscious."

"Well we wouldn't have gotten into that fight if you hadn't confessed to my wife!"

"May I remind you he is just doing this for a deal. You're just in love with the lover you made."

"No I'm not!"

"Yes you are, for instance you just called him your wife. In actuality he isn't even your's,you have no right to be protective over him!"

"W-Well, like I said things change, and now I like him. N-No, I love him!"

"Ha, love!?What do you know of love? As far as I've known you only know how to fake it in front of the screen."

"Listen you don't know anything!I love him and that's it."

"Oh and what do you love about him huh? And what made you think all of the sudden that you love him. I think you're infatuated with this Cho Hee image that you forgot the person under all those clothes."

"You're wrong, I love him. He taught me how to love by becoming my first friend. Without him I would not have become the person I am now! I owe him a lot, and when we were sleeping together I thought on it and saw that I can't stop thinking about him. The way he smiles, and the way he loves to sing his heart out to everyone is beautiful. And the fact that he always tries hard to make a living for himself is awesome!"

"I'm still not convinced. After making Armin suffer so much, you end up falling in love with him I find it hard to believe."

"Well believe it, I'll make him love me back."

"Not before I do."

"Ha don't you know nice guys finish last."

"I know Armin, and he likes familiarity rather than surprises from some rich boy that he hates."

"We'll just see about that."


After their talk to two remained quiet as they awaited their precious blond to awaken. Nothing was said in fear of another fight erupting. All the two could do was give death glares to each other wishing them an ill fate in their chances with you were to view the two you would assume they had guns at the ready waiting for the other to drop his guard. In the midst of their glaring, the two heard a moan followed by the sound of moving fabric. Changing their gaze from each other and to the person on the best they could see Armin was starting to stir awake.

"Cho Hee!" A loud voice booms through the room as the person entered slamming the door behind him so no reporters came in. Another moan came from the bed as the singer's eyes began to open blinded by the light that were coming to his corneas.

"C-Connie?" Armin says weakly as he tries to bring himself to sit up but couldn't due to feeling dizzy. As he was about to fall on the bed, Eren had caught the other so that he could gently set the other down.

"W-Whoa Cho Hee, take it easy." Eren warns the other who eyes with angry eyes that pierced his being. Seeing that expression in his eyes made the model shiver for he knew they meant bad news. Backing away a bit, the brunette eyed Jean signaling the reason he was angry was all his fault.

"Just relax for now." Jean adds on holding the hand of his best friend just to piss Eren off. When Armin's head turns his head to look at Jean the male was once again met with that icy stare as Armin took his hand back.

"Can you guys please leave, I would like to talk with a more civil person." Armin announces to the group of people as he looked up to the ceiling. Taken back by this request, the two suitors looked at each other before exiting leaving only Connie in the room with Armin.

"How are you Cho Hee? Is it bad?" Connie ask immediately after the two males left.

"I-I don't know, just think I was knocked out. My cheek hurts like hell;Eren has one hell of a punch. Don't fight him." Armin advised the other.

"Ha ha, thanks for the advice. But how are you feeling you know emotionally? I mean that was a lot to take in earlier."

"Oh emotionally, I'm confused. Ah Connie what the hell just happened!?"

"Well Jean just confessed to you, and Eren and him got into a fight over you."

"B-But why? Ugh, man Eren doesn't even like me. And how could I not have noticed Jean having a crush on me. It makes my head hurt."

"Well you need to stop stressing about it."

"B-But how? Ah,am I really the main character in some romance movie?"

"Well kind of, I mean we are being filmed, and everyone is starting to get into shipping wars online. Man you should read the comments."

"Connie!"

"S-Sorry, just saying."

"What should I do? I can't handle a situation like this. All I wanted was a nice respectable life with no romance in it. But now man, I can't even..." Armin says as he brings his hand to his cheek feeling the bandage on it. Though he was frustrated and hurt, literally, the blond was having a hard time processing everything that was happening. After all having two people get into a fight over you is something that really takes a toll on you since you feel the need to take responsibility. After a few seconds he noticed Connie, his little chatter box, had not said anything.

Wondering if he had went too far putting too much on Connie's mind as well,Armin felt sorry. Shifting his head to look at his friend, he saw that his head was down with soulless eyes. "Connie," Armin breathes out unsure if it was okay to ask his friend what was wrong at little he said brought the other back into reality. Once he was back, Connie looked to Armin with such sad eyes. Those eyes penetrated his soul and made him feel uneasy for he had never seen such a face on his energetic friend.

"I-Is it really that bad if they like you? Cho Hee, though I understand where you're coming from...I don't think complaining about someone liking you is what you should be doing. Y-You can't help who you fall for right?"

"C-Connie..."

"I'll let you rest for today. You seem tired, after all what is a moon princess without her beauty sleep?Goodnight." Connie walked out the door without another word leaving Armin more confused than ever.


-Next Day-

The next morning, Armin woke up to the lights of the infirmary. Looking from side to side to see if there was any source of life, he got up noting that all was well. To the right of him was the night stand where his phone had been waiting for him patiently. Taking the device in his hand, the blond pressed the him button to start up the lock screen. What he saw, made him wish that he hadn't looked at his phone at all. Hundreds of notifications from the Twitter and Facebook he was forced to make shown in front of him. Hesitantly he opened the phone and started to read all of the things his fans were saying about him.

Twitter: Cho Hee is stuck in a love triangle with her husband and another man! How scandalous!

No wonder that Jean guy sang with her at the finals,I knew I saw a look that meant he wanted to be more than friends.

Cho Hee is so attractive no wonder more than one guy likes her.

Facebook: Who are you gonna chose Cho Hee? You better not break Eren's heart!

Cho Hee marry me instead of those two, they are obviously both stupid.

Some girls get all the luck with guys. I would kill to have to hot men fight over me!

After reading a few of these messaged, Armin closed the phone and pinched the bridge of his nose. Stress over took his body as he thought about the mess he was about to walk into once he stepped outside. All the looks he would get, and all the questions he would no doubt have to answer. This wasn't suppose to happen, he was suppose to have a normal life. He was suppose to be attending his dream college right now, not a preforming arts school. He wasn't suppose to be married to a very influential man. His first love was not suppose to declare his feelings for him like this. A lot of things weren't suppose to happen to Armin, and yet they did. What was he to do with the situation he got into.

After all, no one ever expects something as extravagant to happen to them like it happened to him. Armin was a nobody, someone who wasn't suppose to get the light. So why did this all have to happen to him? Were the fates cursing him once more? All these questions raced through Armin's head as he sat on the infirmary bed. And once he was out of his trance, Armin took a deep breath and willed himself out of the infirmary and to the outside.

Immediately the first thing he noticed was the stares. It was as if they were waiting for him to come out ever since he went in. As he took his first few step away from the infirmary, Armin looked down making sure not to make eye contact with anyone. After all if he did it would only make things more awkward for him. The walk to his cabin was long and stressful. With each step he took he could feel the stares of others on him, and each stare was another weight on his shoulders he couldn't get rid of. When his cabin was in sight, the blond picked up his pace and allowed himself inside as fast as possible.

Taking a few quickened breaths, as he still looked at the ground, Armin was altered of someone else in the room by a cough. Looking up, he saw no other than Historia standing near his bed. She looked at him with a forced smile and her arms crossed.

"Are you okay?" She inquires with care in her voice.

"N-not really, everyone here is looking at me like I'm some monster." Armin replied.

"Welcome to the spot light.I'm sorry that all that happened to you. Boys can be so stupid when it comes to those they like."

"Not really just depends on the guy. I'm not like that at all. I don't get territorial at all."

"Well you're a bit more in touch with your feminine side."

"N-No I'm not!"

"You're in a skirt."

"I have to be in a skirt."

"Details, but besides that I guess I should tell you what's going on in the camp."

"Sure what's up?"

"So basically everyone is very excited about the events of last night. Many are taking teams now, so don't be surprised if people are paying extra attention to your actions. You may be married to Eren, but when a suitor comes people eat at the drama that will come with it."

"Point taken, thanks..."

"Also, one minor detail that is academic related."

"Finally something I'm familiar with."

"We will be starting the drama portion of the camp. We are also forced to wear camp uniforms now. It's a simple sailor uniform so it's not that bad. I got it for you since you wouldn't have been able to get it on time."

"Gee, thanks so much."

"No problem,that is what friends are for?I should be going, all the students who are on the drama unit will be at the theater. I laid your uniform on the bed."

"Okay thanks." Armin says as he watched the other walk out of the room. Letting out a sigh, he runs his fingers through his hair once more before walking over to see the uniform that Historia laid out. Upon scanning his bed, he noticed that she had left two uniforms. One was a male's uniform and the other was a females's. Raising a brow, his fingers traced the fabric of the male uniform for a brief moment. He then picked up the garments up to his body and began walking to the mirror in his shared cabin.

With a smile he looked at the clothes as they were pressed against his skin and imagined himself in them. But the question still remained, why did Historia leave this for him? After all no one was to know that he was a guy. So why give him the option of even having a male uniform? Was it that she was telling him to tell everyone his secret? If so that would be a dumb option that would only draw more attention to the clothing back on his bed, Armin noticed a piece of paper flutter out of the pants pocket. Crouching down to pick up the paper, he skimmed the words.

For when this life gets too much and you want to go back to being a guy. Just in case, I know this secret is hard for you to keep. So when the day comes and you want to escape I'll help you.

Armin read to himself and re-read the words to make sure he wasn't making things up. When the words he re-read only confirmed what he originally read, he was shocked. Why on earth would she even think of him breaking a promise? Did she somehow know something was wrong with his situation? For a few minutes Armin took a few minutes to think about Historia and his relationship.

It wasn't until recently that they became what you would call friends, before she was bullying him to no end. Then after she learned his secret she became more caring and helpful. Thus lead to Armin coming to the conclusion that she was up to something. With this new idea, Armin got up from where he was, and placed the paper back onto his bed. He then gazed at the paper allowing the piece of parchment to remind him to watch his back from now on. The singer then looked back to his girl's uniform, and dressed himself promptly before making his way to the he got there however he was met with a large crowd and a very passionate teacher.

"Welcome all of you to the drama unit! My name is Rico and I will be teaching you about the wonders of the dramatic arts! Now I know you are all wondering what production we will do this for the project. And I am proud to say that we are doing a true classic, from one of the most famous play writers! He was famous for his tragedies and we will be preforming one of them! The play we will be putting on is...ROMEO AND JULIET!" Rico, the drama teacher, announces to the crowd that cheers at her announcement. "Now I know you're all excited for this, and some are scared that I will favor people for being more popular. What I want you to know is I have no bias and I will chose the main roles by pure heart and skill. Every man and woman must audition for the role of Romeo and Juliet! This way I get an accurate pick. Now that the big announcement is already said, it's time to get to more important matters. For the next week we will do drama exercises to prepare those who don't know how to act. The week after that will be auditions, and then there will be call backs. After that everyone has two weeks to memorize their lines, and then it's show time!" Rico tells the crowd of students once more.

While she was announcing all of this, everyone was turning their heads to each other telling their friends of their excitement. Most girls told their friends how much they wanted the role of Juliet, and others were just hoping to get a speaking role in the play. Meanwhile Armin who had just came, stood there awkwardly with no one to talk to. He was thankfully all eyes weren't on him like earlier, but having no friends with him reminded him of his sad existence before , he welcomed the feeling of loneliness with open arms knowing that that was the life he would have to return to.

"Now listen everyone, we're going to start some simple drama exercises. Assemble into partners, you guys will be doing the mirroring exercise. The objective of this is concentration. One partner is the leader, and the other the follower. You will follow their hand movements and keep a neutral face. You must have constant eye contact so use your peripheral vision to see their movements. Now off you go, I will examine each couple individually." The teacher dismissed the class causing a frenzy of people running towards their best friends for a partner, then spacing themselves out a good distance from other students.

Armin watched as the other students passed him, and started the activity meanwhile he was left looking for the only friend he could act normal around at the moment:Connie. Looking left and right, he searched for the actor but could not find him. Instead he saw Jean to his right and Eren to his left advancing towards him as fast as they could. Armin was left to assume that the two were planning to pursue him automatically, which he really didn't feel like dealing with at the moment. He needed sometime recovering from last nights events and he really wasn't about to stare in either of their eyes.

Backing away slowly, Armin held his hands up so he would be ready to push them away from him if they ever got any closer. Lucky for him it seemed like Historia walked over to Eren and grabbed him forcing him to work with her. Meanwhile a hand from behind Armin turns him around to see no other than Connie.

"And how is our moon princess today?"Connie ask as he takes lead in the activity by putting his hands up.

"Better, cheek still hurts a bit." Armin replies as he follows Connie's movements as instructed making constant eye contact.

"I'm sorry to hear that."

"N-No don't be, if anything I should feel sorry. I upset you last night, and I'm sorry about that."

"I'm sorry I yelled, I just got frustrated that's it..."

"But why though?"

"I guess because I-I'm nervous my love confession might go badly now.I mean you have to guys in love with you, then there is me who is a mess. She must think of me only as a friend."

"Oh Connie don't think that way. Don't base everything on my life."

"B-but you don't understand...I-It's like..."

"Like what?"

"I-I just...ah I don't know!"

"That's okay you don't have to tell me now. Tell me when you're ready."

"Thanks Cho Hee, you're one in a million."

...


"Ugh, what do you want?" Eren complains as he looks at Historia who leads in their movements.

"Come on Eren, can't old friends just talk?" Historia proposes as she opens one of her hands from the fist she had originally formed for Eren to follow.

"I wanted Cho Hee not you."

"Yeah, but I know she really doesn't want to talk to you right now."

"Well I have a record to set straight okay. I have a lot on my plate right now, and just telling her somethings will make me feel better."

"Why what's going on?"

"Nice try Historia, but I'm not telling you anything."

"Oh come on Eren. I'm done with trying to get back together with you okay. I've changed my ways remember. The least I can do to make things up to you is hear your problems."

"How do I know I can trust you?"

"Okay, I'll make you a deal. If I tell someone else, I will transfer to another preforming arts school."

"You really mean it?"

"Positive."

"Fine then...I-If I'm going to tell you we'll have to talk alone. Follow me."


-Shigansina Hospital-

"Well if it isn't Doctor Hannes, I was wondering when you were coming again." Carla playfully says as she turns her wheel chair towards Grisha who was holding something behind his back.

"S-Sorry, I was just talking to that friend I was talking about the last time. He says thanks for the help it means a lot. We've been up all night trying to figure out the best solution for him."

"Well I hope it's going well. But I have to ask what are you hiding behind your back?"

"Sharp as always Carla," He puts the flowers in front of him," These are for you, the most beautiful woman in the hospital."

"Oh Hannes you charmer~. Thank you so much for such a surprise."

"Well we can't really call it a surprise now can we?"

"Nevertheless, I have a surprise for you."

"For me?"

"Yes, now close your eyes." She commanded as she watched the fake doctor from across the way put his hands over his eyes. Once she saw there was no way for him to see her she readied herself to stand up. Using her arms she struggled to push herself from her chair. Slowly she got up from her chair and steadied herself for the first time in years. Like a baby trying to take its first steps, she wobbled forwards and tripped over her feet a bit. Catching herself with her bed, she willed herself to stand up again as she looked up to Grisha making sure that he wasn't about to peek.

"A-Are you okay?" The 'doctor' ask his wife after hearing the sound of something flopping onto the bed.

"Y-Yeah, don't look yet." She replied with a hint of struggle in her voice, nevertheless she carried on. With one foot in front of the other she staggered all the way to where Grisha was standing. She then proceeded to put her hands on his shoulders before looking up to him one more time to make sure she had good balance. Carla then took her hands off of the man's shoulders standing up as straight as she could before talking his hands in her's and pulling them away from his face.

"Surprise." She says with a sweet smile.

"O-Oh my gosh, C-Carla y-you're standing. D-Did you just walk all the way over here?"

"Of course, I did. I've been working on this when I get free time which I have a lot of."

"Well you did great pumpkin." Grisha says with a smile completely forgetting that he had just called the other by an old nickname.

"P-Pumpkin?" Carla repeats as she suddenly could see a memory flash in her head. The memory was blurry,yet it felt so familiar and sad. A man with dark hair calls her the same pet name as he takes her for their first dance as a married couple. Feeling dizzy she sways back and fourth a bit before Grisha wrapped an arm around her waist.

"A-Are you alright?" He questions his wife who only replied with a point over to the bed. Obeying her request, Grisha walks over to the bed placing her down on it as she tries to put herself together again.

"Whoa, the darnedest thing just happened to me. I just remembered something. It was my wedding day I think. My husband, gosh I saw his face but he made me feel sad. Why did I feel sad on my own wedding day?"

"W-Wait you remembered something?" Grisha asked worriedly even though she had just heard her explanation a few seconds ago.

"Y-Yeah, honestly I thought that if I got some of my memories back it would be good for me. But right now, I just feel so sad and betrayed."

"T-Then, stop remembering. It's obviously taking a toll on your body. Take it one step at a time, there is no rush. If you rush yourself then you will only hurt yourself."

"Yeah, you're right. But please can you not say pumpkin again."

"Of course anything you want."

"Thank you, and can I ask you another favor?"

"Sure thing."

"Can you take me outside for a walk?"

"Is it safe?"

"Well you're my doctor aren't you?"

"O-Oh yes, well, I think you should stay inside."

"But it's a nice day and you looked at my charts they say I'm fine right? I just need some fresh air an sun light."

"A-Alright then, let me tell the nurses what our situation is so they know you're going out. But I want you still in the wheel chair."

"Sounds good to me."


"Do we really have to talk in this shed?" Historia ask as Eren unceremoniously pushed her into a shed near the mess hall.

"Yes, I don't want any cameras hearing what I'm gonna vent out. If it did, Cho Hee would hate me." Eren replies as he sticks his head out the door making sure that no one had followed them.

"Okay then, well I'm all ears. Let me hear your struggles."

"Promise you won't tell a soul."

"Like I said earlier, if my lips ever speak of what we are saying I'll transfer schools."

"Alright then, you better not judge either."

"You're beating around the bush."

"Because this is a serious thing Historia. I've made the worse decision ever, and all because I don't want to see the one I love in pain."

"You love her?"

"Of course I do. I wouldn't have gotten into a fight with Jean if I didn't. But it's because of that love I fucked up..."

"How could you possibly have fucked up."

"Y-You know how at our wedding her grandfather came?"

"Yes..."

"Well he's dead now, and when we went camping I was the one to hear the news. Cho Hee was asleep so I she couldn't have answered the phone to hear it."

"W-wait so you're telling me that you never told your wife that her only family member in the whole world is dead!?"

"Shhh, be quiet!"

"Eren how could you?"

"I-I didn't want to see her cry, it's hard to deliver a message like the days I wasn't here at camp I was in England sorting things out and attended the funeral and viewing. I then managed her inheritance for her since she couldn't."

"Eren oh my gosh..."

"I panicked okay. I just, I'd hate to see her crying face. I know I shouldn't have, but I did."

"So when are you planning to tell her?"

"I-I don't know...If I tell her anything as of now she'll hate me. I didn't tell her of her own grandfather's funeral, she'd hate me forever. I have to live with this burden for the rest of my life."

"What are you going to tell her when she starts to notice she hasn't heard for her grandfather?"

"I-I don't know I really don't know...I-I just, I'm so stressed out. Now that Jean is trying to steal my wife with this news he would be able to take her away from me. I'll never see her again."

"What about her inheritance?"

"Everything is in her name, I made sure of that in case she did find out then she would have money for when she leaves me. Also it's her money so I shouldn't even use it at all."

"Wow, this is a lot to take in right now. D-Do you need any help with anything?"

"Can you help me tell her?"

"H-Help you tell her?"

"Yes, I can't so this by myself and with Mikasa gone I don't know how to handle this."

"O-Okay, I-I'll help you. Just,we have to meet more on this, it's going to take me a while to think of. You focus on Jean."

"Alright, thanks a lot Historia. You know you're not as bad as I thought you would be."


-Lunch time-

"Girls plans have changed!" Historia announces to Ymir and Annie who were about to take a bite out of their food, but were interrupted by their friend.

"So we're not going to play tennis in our spare time anymore?" Ymir inquires.

"No, my plan to get Eren back."

"Oh great not this again. I'm done with hearing your boy crazy get back together ideas." Annie complains as she shoves another spoonful of soup into her mouth.

"Then why are you here?" Historia ask.

"Because I am some how dumb enough to call myself your friend."

"Nice, anyways as I was saying we don't need my earlier said complex plan. Eren has set up a much easier one for me to get what I want."

"Oh and what's that babe?" Ymir questions watching as Annie ignored their conversation.

"I'm going to start to hang out with Eren more. He trust me again and has even asked me for help on his little mess."

"Which would be?"

"He didn't tell Armin about the fact his grandfather died."

"Wow, can't believe he is actually that stupid."

"Hey don't speak of my future husband like that."

"Sorry...but you know he's not my favorite he hurt your feelings."

"Anyways, he asked me to help explain it to Armin. So I say I lead Eren on that I'm helping him and then tell Armin and have him do the rest so I can have Eren~!"

"Sounds too simple. I thought you wanted to destroy this Armin guy."

"Yeah, but what better way than to let him know Eren had lied to him about the thing he cares about the most?"

"I like your idea, but why not keep the idea with Armin loving Eren. After that you can make him jealous while you and Eren have these meetings." Ymir looks around to see if anyone was paying attention to her and Historia. She then beckons the other to come closer so she could whisper into her ear. Following the command to come closer Historia puts her ear near Ymir's mouth where she then whispers to her the other more secret part of their plan.

"Y-Ymir that's really wow."

"I know right?"

"Are you sure?"

"Perfectly, after all Armin hasn't done anything for us to like him."

"You're right, it's a brilliant plan.W-we'll go with that."


"Cho Hee eat lunch with me!" Jean and Eren yell simultaneously as they stared at Armin with pleading eyes. Armin who was only holding his hands up in defense, smiled sweetly and looked to the side. Like always people were looking at him, which once again made him feel uncomfortable. However now he couldn't look the person he was most comfortable with straight in the eye since he was still in shock by his confession.

"W-Why don't you two eat by yourselves? I've got to study my other subjects..." Armin declined as he slowly backed away, but was only followed by the two who were trying to push each other out of the way.

"But I arranged the perfect picnic for us honey. I haven't seen you in days." Eren exaggerates as he holds out a flower for Armin to take.

"Well, I prepared a picnic for her too. Plus I have something to tell you, it's very important." Jean states as he takes our a bouquet of flowers.

"Please, for all I know you're trying to steal my wife again."

"W-Why don't you two eat together. I-I have plans with Connie." Armin is quick to suggest as he slips past his two so that he could go outside when in all honesty he had no plans for lunch at all. Combing his hands through his hair, Armin made his way towards the lake once more for peace. Once there, he stretches his arms out wide and tilting his head back to release the tension in his body. Once he felt content with himself Armin sat before worry could take over his body once more. Now sitting, Armin hugs his legs and looks out to the water as he did before. As he did , he could feel worry creepy behind him to plague his thoughts. However instead of thinking about his new spot light life it was about the once he left behind.

Who was living in his old apartment now?Did his teachers notice that his grades were dropping? Does the university even want him anymore with all the absences he has taken?Will he find a better paying job? Should he even still attend his other school? It was so expensive and the fact he is constantly absent doesn't help either. So many problems without solutions and here he was again panicking about it all.

"Maybe I should just quit." Armin huffs allowed knowing no one would hear.

"Aw but if you leave who will be my moon princess?" Connie jokes from behind startling the singer.

"Connie!"

"Ah,ah,ah Connie Mask is fine. Now what's the moon princess doing here? It's not night time so you can't go home."

"Sometimes I wish I could...W-Why are you here anyways?"

"Well I can't have lunch without my best friends now can I?" Connie explains as he sits down next to Armin with a tray of food. He then gave Armin some food for him to eat as well.

"I-I can't take this, this is your food."

"No it's yours, I always get a double serving but you need food to get your nerves off things."

"Thanks Connie..." Armin says as he starts to eat the sandwich that Connie had graciously offered.

"So what's this about quitting huh? You're a first year, is it too much for you?"

"K-Kind of...I-It's just you know with my whole situation and all I'm so stressed. Also I-I'm not even good at anything...I-I'm just a girl who got hitched with a successful guy. People must think I'm a gold digger."

"Pfft, Cho Hee are you kidding me?"

"..."

"Cho Hee you're the most amazing girl I know!"

"Y-You're just saying that because you're nice. But truth is you don't know me, you've only seen what Eren made me."

"Did Eren teach you how to sing?"

"No..."

"Did Eren teach you how to stand up for yourself?"

"N-Not really..."

"See you're not just something Eren made up. And the you I know right now is enough for me. That is unless you want to tell me more I'm all ears!" Connie pushes his ears forward with his hands.

"I-It's just no one really likes me for who I am. And I'm uber stressed with how my grades have been, and now that I think about it we're acting. I-I don't even think I can act!What happens if I disappoint?"

"Calm down, first of all you can act. Second of all I may not be the smartest on paper, but I can sure as heck help you study."

"Thanks but I can't put you through that."

"You can and will. I may not be the brightest, but that doesn't mean I can't help study."

"No you should focus on being Romeo."

"I will if you will be my Julliette."

"I-I can't."

"Then I don't wanna!"

"Connie!"

"Nope, not gonna do it! We're a dynamic duo, you can't just have one and not the other."

"..."

"Come on Sailor Cho Hee, don't disappoint your Connie mask!"

"B-but I don't think I can pull off Juliette..."

"I'll help you remember!"

"I-I'll think about it..."

"Well better make a decision, tomorrow we're announcing what parts we want. And usually Romeos and Julliettes audition together to make things easier."

"I-I'll keep that in mind."


"I was right it is such a lovely day." Carla says aloud for all to hear as she stretches her arms out and inhales the fresh air.

"As you always are." Grisha replies as he looks around for any nurses who could catch him.

"Dr. Hannes why are you looking around so much?"

"I-I was just making sure that we can be alone."

"But we always spend time alone."

"Y-Yes, but not outside the hospital."

"I suppose you're right , anyways now that were out here I feel so much better. Thank you for taking me out."

"Anything to make you feel better."

"I do feel much better."

"Where would you like to go?"

"Hmm, I was thinking near the park. Is that too far?"

"N-No of course not."

"Then why did you stutter?"

"I just was at a loss of words for a moment."

"Alright," Carla accepts the awkward reply from the other looking forwards as she took grasp her pants. Grisha wheeled Carla slowly admiring his time with his wife. In the hospital he did scare her a bit when she had a flash back, however things were okay for now. However, now Grisha had to make sure he didn't cause Carla to remember anything. For if she did, it could ruin his whole get back together plan. The things he had done to her in the past, he hoped would not stain the new image that he had just given her now.

"Hannes, you're being awfully quiet." Carla states as she turns her head to see the other.

"W-Well it is such a beautiful day, why would I want to rush it."

"Yes it is beautiful, but I've been stuck in a quiet hospital room. It doesn't hurt for a little noise."

"Suppose you're right."

"I'm always right."

"Ah, yes I remember."

"So how has your day been Dr. Hannes?"

"Well, I have lots of patients to see today, but none as lovely as you."

"I bet you tell that to all the women you see."

"No, in fact you're the only one that catches my eyes."

"Well watch out this woman is married..."

"Ah t-to that husband of yours."

"Yes, now that I'm more awake and alert and it's safe for me to reveal I'm awake I'll get a divorce.

"I see..."

"I don't know what I ever saw in that man. Honestly, I wish I remembered more. If I could I would ask myself why I stayed with him. There had to be something special about him.'

"Y-Yes perhaps there was."

"You know sometimes I have dreams about him."

"R-Really?"

"Yeah, but the thing is they're all good memories. The psychiatrist says it's because I'm trying not to remember all the bad things. It makes perfect sense."

"It does..."

"Yeah...But in my dreams I remember he use to sing to me every night before I slept. He had the sweetest voice, he even wrote a song for me and apparently it made it big. I can't remember the song though. I part of me is sad about that, but on the other hand it's best I not listen to it. I don't think I'll be able to handle the sadness..."

"Your son must have told you a lot of things about him."

"Oh yes, every time I mention the word 'father' he gets angry. I feel he has more of an issue towards him than I do. After all if I was still with him while he cheated on me, I believe there must have been some hope that he would stop."

"That's very foolish of you, if I may say Carla."

"I guess it is. But then again when you love someone so much, it's hard to let them go. You wait for things to change even though you know there is a slight chance they won't. You love them and don't expect a reward, I guess my husband forgot that when he gave into lust."

"You've really been reflecting on this huh?"

"I have, after all when you don't have the memories you don't feel the sadness anymore. Then you're not influenced by your feelings anymore. The amnesia has actually helped me a lot. And the day I do get my memories back, I think I'll be able to handle my husband when we go into court."

"You are very nice to be thinking like that or someone who doesn't deserve your kindness."

"Kill them with kindness that's what I always say."

"I see..."

"But enough about me and my problems, how about you?"

"M-Me?"

"Yes, after all I want to get to know you too."

"Well I lead a boring life there isn't much to tell."

"Really now?"

"Yes, I got to work and visit you then go home."

"You never did anything in your past."

"W-Well I use to sing."

"Oh, that's more like it. May I hear a song?"

"M-Maybe another time. I-I'm not ready you see."

"I get it, your nervous. But I still want to hear a piece you got it mister?"

"Ha ha, anyways it's about time to bring you back to the hospital."

"I suppose it is getting late, but Dr. Hannes promise me something."

"Y-Yes?"

"Take me on a real date next time."


-Night Time-

With much on his mind Armin wandered the camp to clear his head, though at the expense of his perfect attendance. However that didn't matter to Armin. What mattered to him was the fact that he was finally alone. Alone from the press, alone from Eren, and alone from Jean. Taking in a deep breath of the cold night air, Armin stretched his arms out feeling the stresses of daily light escape him as he did so. He then put dug his hand into his pocket to find his Ipod and earphones to use so that he could further dwell in his moment of piece. Choosing to play classical music for a change he list he chose the song "Watashi no Uso" the piano solo*. After he did so he continued on his stroll around the camp.

He remained like this for a couple of more minutes before finally resting on a bench that over saw the river. Then he allowed the cold air to further blow through his hair and carry away his worries. That is until a person from behind placed a hand on his shoulder causing him to whip his head around to see who the person was.

"E-Eren..." Armin says relieved that it was not some stranger who decided to take advantage of him in that moment.

"S-Sorry, I thought you heard me coming from behind," He replies shyly as he scratches the back of his he nervously.

"I had headphones on..."

"Right, well I wanted to ask you something."

"Can it wait until tomorrow Eren? I'm still not over what happened yesterday okay..."

"I-I know, and I'm sorry. But I wanted to show you how sorry I am."

"W-what do you mean?"

"Follow me and see."

"How do I know this isn't some trick of yours?"

"Trust me, no funny games. I honestly want to apologize, can't I do something for a friend?"

"I-I guess you can." Armin replied with a defeated sigh. He honestly didn't want anything to do with Eren and more, but after what he said it did make him feel guilty. After all it wasn't as if Eren really liked him at all, so a casual night out with a friend isn't suspicious. Following close behind Eren, Armin looked around silently observing every little detail he could. This was a habit he had became accustomed to considering it saved his butt countless times with knowing secret short cuts away from bullies. However in the case now, it was just too look around and keep his mind off of the awkward feeling he felt deep inside him.

"I know that you haven't eaten dinner yet, so I decided to cook you some. Plus we never got a chance for that picnic." Eren states as he walks up to two large curtains. When Armin's attention was on him, he proceeded to open the curtains to reveal a blanket laid out with candles and food scouring the surface.

"W-Wow..." Armin comments as he enters further into the secluded area to see what more it had to offer. With each step he took, as he looked closer to the picnic set up, he noticed a letter on the top of a silver platter with his real name on it. Picking it up the college student opened it up delicately and read the words to himself.

Dear Armin,

How should I start this to fix up what I screwed up? Well when I look back now, I realize what I did was totally uncalled for that I'm sorry. I was a fool, and I'll apologize to Jean when I get the chance to. But right now I want to fix things between us. After all I kind of just punched your best friend, and in order to keep the only friend I have I'm willing to do anything?

I'm sorry I can't say this to you in person even though I'm right in front of you. I really am pathetic, but what do you say? Will you give me a second chance?

Armin paused for a minute as he allowed himself to process what Eren was saying. To some extent one part of him wanted to stay angry, but the other had already accepted Eren's attempt at an apology.

"Fool is beyond what you are." Armin comments playfully as he turns to look at Eren who is looking nervously at the ground.

"I know...B-But hey, I can't help it."

"Mhmmm."

"So what do you say?"

"Let's see after this food is all eaten up."

"Great!" Eren cheers as he rushes across from Armin to sit down and start to arrange the food. Hoping that it was something better than the first time Eren cooked for him, Armin sat down and watched the food be prepared." You know Eren you really need to work on your acting."

"W-What," The brunette stops plating the food once he heard Armin's blunt criticism.

"You know, I'm just saying."

"W-Why would you think I need to work on it though? Wait what am I saying what do you even know about acting?"

"Enough to know that you overrated with what happened with Jean." Armin reminds the other as he was handed a plate of food to which he accepts and reluctantly takes a bite out of the food.

"O-Oh that..."

"What else would I be talking about?"

"Nothing..."

"Alright, but yeah. You know how we're suppose to be selling this ultimate star couple thing, you kind of were a little extra yesterday."

"Yeah, I-I guess I just got so into character that I forgot we weren't a thing."

"Ha ha yeah, don't fall for me." Armin leans over to punch Eren's arm lightly.

"Couldn't if I tried, you're too nerdy for me dude."

"Nope, I'm just too good for you."

"Gosh you really have to hit me in the pride there."

"What are friends for?"

"R-Right just friends..."Eren says aloud with false happiness as his heart did flops in his chest.

"A-Anyways, this picnic is great. Maybe I should have joined you earlier, but then Jean was with you."

"Oh yeah, sorry about that time too. I really wanted to apologize first, but ever since last night I guess he just wanted to be with you." Eren theorized as he watched Armin's expression change at the mention of Jean. The once comfortable relaxed smile was replaced with a slight frown.

"Y-yeah..."

"Is something wrong?"

"Yeah, but you wouldn't want to hear it."

"Give me a shot here."

"I guess..."

"Is it about Jean?" Armin gave a nod.

"Is it because of the confession?" Another nod was given as confirmation. With a heavy sigh Eren mentally prepared himself for an unwanted conversation, but in a way having this conversation would help him in the long run.

"I-It's just why?"

"Huh?"

"Why me? Why now?"

"What do you mean?"

"When I was younger I liked him too. But I was punished for it, and never saw him again. Now here I thought he had forgotten me and now he goes and confesses to me in front of the whole nation!"

"W-wait you use to like him!?"

"W-Well yeah, but we were young and it was a silly crush. It never worked out though at the time I wished it did."

"S-So what now? A-Are you going to accept his feelings?"

"I can't."

"Phew, I-I mean why not?"

"I mean even though his confession was like a drama and any girl would die for...I-I just can't. I-I don't deserve him, I'm weak and I never do anything right."

"That's a total lie."

"No it isn't, what does he like in a guy like me anyways!?I'm weak, I look more like a girl than anything, and I just have so many bad traits I can't even list now."

"Armin look at me. You are more than what you think you are. You're an amazing person!If anything you're too good for anyone."

"Y-You're just saying that..."

"No I'm not. I'm confident that you are."

"G-Gee thanks. But anyways as for Jean I think I just need time to sort things out."

"Take all the time you want, he can wait. He made you wait anyways."

"True."

"Anyways lets get to a more upbeat topic. Romeo and Juliette try outs are happening, and I think you and I should be the lead rolls."

"E-Eren..."

"I know it's kind of out of there, but it will totally get the press off our butts if we focus it more on our relationship right? We just need to be seen together more."

"I-I can't."

"Why not?"

"I promised Connie I would be his Juliette."

"W-Why!?"

"H-Hey don't get angry...I just think it's better that way."

"In what way is that better."

"Please calm down, Connie asked me first."

"Then who am suppose to audition with?'

"I don't know, you're pretty popular. Any girl would want to be your partner."

Yeah,but I only want you as a partner. I don't want some other guy kissing you.

"Fine, but my plan would have made your life easier."

"Sorry about making this complicated, but it's the best choice. Plus we don't want the other students to think things are automatically handed to us. That's unfair to them."

"I guess you're right."

"Mhmm." Armin ended the conversation as he took another spoonful of the seemingly decent food. As the two remained eating quietly Armin counted the minutes until it would be an appropriate time for him to leave. Though he appreciated Eren's efforts, he still needed time alone away from the other's ever watching eyes. After a few more minutes of awkward silence the blond decided it was best that he leave.

"Hey, it's pretty late I should go to bed. I'm super tired." Armin informs the other who looks at him with panicked eyes.

"B-But wait, we never have any real alone time. I wanted us to get closer you know, like friends are suppose to be. Ask all the hard questions."

"But I'm tired, and won't we get in trouble?"

"When your dad owns this place you can get away with anything."

"Oh yeah I forgot about that."

"So take it easy."

"Yeah, but even if we're a special acceptation I want to be a good student here too."

"B-But..."

"Maybe next time, I've also had a long day."

"I guess you're right, well good night Armin."

"Goodnight Eren."

"Is everything set then?" Jean ask the camp counselor intently as he grasp onto the suit case that was next to him.

"Yes everything is set. You will just have to do the make-up work and study by yourself for a while. A shame you had to leave right when they were picking the partners for Romeo and Juliette." The counselor replies casually.

"Yes it is, but I have important family things that couldn't be avoided. I'm going to miss her."

"Ah, Ms. Cho Hee Jaeger. You know she's married, it's not the best to try to drift a married couple apart. It could hurt you career before it even starts. But I have t ask, why did you do it,confess to her that is?"

"It's simple, you can't control who you fall for. And sometimes the fates aren't as kind you know, it's better I got it off my chest now."

"I assume you're right, but will you tell her of your leave?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"I just feel like she needs a bit of time to think to herself. I also don't want her thinking I'm running away from my problems."

"I see well then, We'll be seeing you at the play."

"Yeah, until then."
