An Old Friend (Armin Arlert x Reader) p.2

((There's going to be just a few bad words so to say so..))
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
As (y/n) walked to the library to return the books she had borrowed, she heard grunting. She looked behind a corner and saw three older boys beating up her old friend,Armin Arlert. She felt horrible about always making excuses for not hanging out with him. As if on cue, the two adopted siblings, Eren and Mikasa, rushed to his rescue. (Y/n) watched as the boys who were picking on Armin run away with out a fight.( Y/n) smiled sadly. She was glad that the two protected Armin but sad that she didn't do anything. She felt useless at the moment. She quickly walked on by with her books.

Armin caught a glimpse of a girl walking away. She had (length) (color of hair)hair, (skin tone) skin, and a (fave color) sundress with black flats. Who was that? He couldn't see her face from where he was standing.
    "Who was that?" Armin asked out loud.
    "Who?" Eren asked.
    "That girl that just passed."
    "I think that was (a name close to your name)." Mikasa said, "I'm not entirely sure if that was her though."
    "Oh..." Armin said.It was all he could say.Honestly it's been so long that he couldn't even remember the poor girl's name. Eren and Mikasa never brought her up, his grandpa didn't bring her up, he never brought her up. She was hardly mentioned in those five years. It was sad really. Two close friends began to drift away from each other.
     "So why were those guys beating you up, Armin?" Eren asked.
     "Oh, the usual reason. Hurting me because they're close-minded idiots who won't accept the fact that one day the titans will get in and all of Hell will break loose." Armin sighed.
      "Those shits need to be educated," Eren said ,"my fists will be the teacher."
      "You don't want shit on your hands, Eren. Wear gloves when you do." Mikasa said.
      "Whatever, mom." Eren said sarcastically.

(Y/n) happily walked back home with the ten new books she borrowed from the library. As she arrived,she was greeted by her mother and father."Hi mommy! Hi daddy!" she said. Her father gave a warm smile and her mother opened her arms wide. "Give me a hug." She said.
  (Y/n) dropped her books and ran to her mother. Now hugging her, her mother lifted her and twirled her around.
   (Y/n) giggled. And that's when something unexpected happened. An explosion.
     Her mother and father ran outside, (Y/n) following. What they saw was astonishing, a titan's head. It grabbed the Wall with both hands, and the titan kicked it.
    There. Was. A. Breach.
Titans were starting to enter the Walls. (Y/n) screamed. Her father picked her up and the whole family started running.
    "Papa! What about (S/n)?" The young girl asked frantically.
    "This is what she trained for! She'll be okay!" Her father answered.
They were one of the first families at the boats. As soon as more people arrived, they were starting to board the boats. (Y/n) saw Armin and his grandfather board the other boat. At least they were safe.
     A while after, she saw Eren and Mikasa board the boat. Good, they're alive. (Y/n) smiled. She needed them to protect Armin. Sometimes she's really glad that Armin "replaced" her with people who can fight for him.
     As the boats were beginning to sail, a huge titan rammed the Wall. There's been another breach. Wall Maria has been broken.

 About a year later, there has been an order for people to go out and take back Wall Maria. One of those people who went out was (Y/n)'s father. One of the few people who had care for her in this cruel world. He didn't come back with the survivors. (Y/n) began to cry. He had promised her he would come back. He promised her mother. He promised them. Alas, her father was taken from her be the villain named "Death".
     Oh how she wished her father was here with her.  She wanted nothing more than her father back. Her heart ached. All she had of him was his shall. She didn't want his shall. She wanted him. She wanted her father. She would rather die than be without him. She loved her father so much. His warm smile, the way he would hold her when she was sad, when he would yell at the kids who made fun of her(that made her chuckle), when he would play fight with her, a lot of things about her father she loved. Death was uncaring. He just sat and had a tea party with Satan. Very uncaring of the young girl's feelings.
    Her mother hugged her. " (Y/n)," her mother began, "be strong for your father. He would hate to see you cry."
    (Y/n) nodded, tears still streaming down her face."Okay mommy." She sniffled.
    Her mother gave a sad smile, "Good. Don't worry, he's in a better place now."
    "A titan's stomach isn't a better place..." (Y/n) mumbled.
     Her mother sighed, "That's not what I meant.I mean that his soul is in a better realm. One without heartache and without titans."
     "Oh, okay."
     "Good."

    "Hey,mom?"
     "Yes?"
     "I'm going to enlist as a cadet. I'm going to make sure no one will have to go through this pain ever again." (Y/n) said surely and confidently.
