Attack on Titan: Delicate Feelings

It was another day inside the Walls of Wall Rose. Kiyomi had just finished up training for the day, and while on her way to the Mess Hall, outside, she spots Christa speaking to Armin.

It had appeared that she was asking how he was, and how he was feeling. That was just like Christa, always wanting to know how everyone is. She's a sweet and caring girl, that Christa. But that probably the reason why so many males who knew her back in the 104th cadet corps crushed hard on her.

Armin sheepishly places a hand over beneath his neck as he acted all shy, and blushed lightly that he was fine.

Irritations grows inside Kiyomi as she watched Christa and Armin. It was easy and simple to understand why Kiyomi was feeling this way. She was jealous. It happened often whenever she spotted these two together. Especially since Armin was always acting blushy and cute with her around.

Kiyomi sometimes wonders if Armin perhaps had a crush on Christa just like the other boys seem to. She hoped not, since she had special feelings for Armin herself. But then again, she doesn't want to keep Armin away from his happiness.

Kiyomi sighs and begins to walk away. As she walks off, Armin notices her when her back is turned right before she disappeared behind a building's corner, and out of sight.

As Kiyomi is walking away, she jumps in Surprise and startelement when she hears the blonde coconut call her name. She turns around to see Armin right before her! Geez, he was fast! His daily training exercises must have been coming in handy.

"Kiyomi, I caught you just before I lost you. How are you?" Armin starts out. In response, Kiyomi is forced to break into a smile and replies, "O-Oh, I'm fine." Kiyomi lies.

"Um...are you sure?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

"Oh...um, never mind then. I'm glad your doing well." Armin finishes before he starts to walk away, to Kiyomi's disappointment.

"O-Oh, um...Armin?" Kiyomi calls out hesitantly to the boy who stops in his tracks to turn around to focus his attention on her once more.

"U-Um...if you don't mind, would sometime would you perhaps want to hang out...?" Kiyomi asks of Armin nervously.

Armin's expression was blank at first but changed to a look of confusion as he lightly tilts his head to the side, clearly expressing this feeling he was experiencing.

"Kiyomi...why are you always wanting to be around me?"

Kiyomi's nervous and waitful expression slowly fades into an taken back and hurt look as she stutters out,

"U-Umm....I don't know. Sorry." She begins to turn away but Armin stops her. "W-Wait! I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I just....was curious, was all. I didn't mean anything by it."

"It's just because....I like hanging out with you...? Do I need much of a reason??"

"N-No, I'm sorry about asking such a ridiculous question."

Things were literally awkward between the two now. But....

"Now it's my turn to ask a out of the blue question. Armin...what were you and Christa talking about?"

"Huh? Oh, um...she was just asking me about how I was after our expedition a few days ago. That's all, honestly." Armin answers Truthuly.

"Okay..." Kiyomi nods. And after yet another moment of silence...

"Armin, if possible can I ask you one more question?"

"O-Of course. Go for it."

"Do...do you have a crush on Christa? And you have to be completely honest!!"

"W-What?!!" Armin faces turns tomato red upon hearing the asked question and he burst out...

"Um...uh....I...what...erm....eh...N-No!!!"

Kiyomi simply frowns in response. But almost like magic, a lighting ball pops over Armin's head, his lights lit up and he relizes where this is going.

"H-Hold on...D-Do you..." but before Armin could finish, Kiyomi darts off running and cries...."I-I'm such a jerk!! I'm so sorry Armin! If you love Christa, go to her and confess your feelings to get! Be happy! Because your the most purest and precious angel in the world!!"

dmin stands still, his mouth dropped, his eyes ten times bigger than their natural size in awe. Christa walks over to Armin's side and asked...

"Is it true, Armin? Do you have a crush on me?"

"Well....I would be lying if I didn't admit that you were cute, but... apparently Kiyomi has feelings for me."

"Then go to her! Accept her feelings! I mean, you both are after all so close your practically inseparable! Besides, I'm taken. I'm cannon with Ymir as of right now. So go!! Fulfill your romantic destiny!"

"O-Okay!" And with that nod, Armin's runs after Kiyomi. As Christa watched Armin hurry off, she giggles happily. "Looks like my favorite ship is finally about to come cannon!"

The End
