Puppy Love

An AruAni and EreMika Fanfiction... 3

...

"Grandpa, I'm going to Eren and Mikasa!" a blonde boy with blue eyes said while holding a plastic filled with oranges in his left hand and a blue umbrella in his right. "Alright, Armin. Take care!" there came the reply from an old man, yet still healthy and doing well, "Don't forget to bring your umbrella. They said it's gonna rain today!" he reminded him as well.

"Got it, grandpa! I will be back, take care!" he quickly rushed off to his friends place, yet careful of his every step.

That was Armin Arlert, a 16-year old boy who stands 163 centimeter. He was raised by his own grandfather, his parent are OFWs. Beecause of the fact that he was raised by an old man who can rarely understand youngsters, he developed a weekend routine that was to visit his childhood friends, Eren and Mikasa at their house during weekends.

"Today's a clear day though. Looks like it won't even rain." he muttered to himself upon looking at the sky and clouds hiding the sun behind them. "Oh well, weather forecasters aren't really that accurat-!" upon almost completing his sentence he felt a cold liquid in his cheeks.

"Great..." he sighed and quickly opened his blue folded umbrella while securing the oranges so they won't fall and go to waste. "And I was just saying how it won't rain." he once again sighed at this coincidence, for some reason this always happen to him.

As closer as he gets to Eren and Mikasa's place the stronger the rain became.

"Eh?" his thoughts were halted when he saw a person with a gray hoodie putting his or her umbrella on the corner of the road, making sure that a certain box was safe from the rain. "That box is for abandoned puppies..." he told himself, then he wanted to talk to this person so he stood behind him/her but unfortunately, this person took a step back and bumped into him.

When the person turned around she revealed herself as a girl and quickly put on her hoodie while glaring at Armin.

"Ahhh! I am very sorry! Your drink is all over the-!" he flinched then looked at the spilled drink, "-road..." he gasped as soon as he raised his head to meet her glare. "Don't worry about it." she walked away, getting wet by the rain in the process.

"Um! You're umbrella!" he exclaimed at her while pointing at the white umbrella. "It's the puppy's now." she corrected him while continuing to walk away from him.

"Oh! Then please take mine instead." he grabbed her arm unconciously and quickly gave her his umbrella, making sure that she's not getting wet anymore. "What? It's okay." she clicked her tongue while brushing her blonde locks that was covering her view to the side, "You can have your umbrella." she continued.

"No, It will make me feel better if you take this with you. Please?" Armin begged her, doing this makes him feel less guilty for the loss of her drink.

She took the umbrella from his hands and sighed, "Fine, do this makes you happy? Now I have to go." the blonde boy let go of her arm and she rushed off to who knows where leaving Armin completely behind.

He took a peek at the puppy inside the small box.
