ARMIN’s PROFILE

[0798f]

💞 — Study Date.

RELATIONSHIP: Armin Arlert x Reader (college au)

SUMMARY: You are so fortunate that one of the smartest students in your university drops everything to help you study.

A/N: Armin is a compsci major because I said so. Maybe he double majors in geography, too.

(Name): please help me with my compsci hw ):

Armin: of course :) student center?

(Name): ty ty ty <3 <3 i’m omw now !!

The student center was filled with the usual idle chatter of students either spending time with one another. Armin was in his own corner, away from most of the bustle with only one open chair across from him. He didn’t really have homework of his own today, having finished most of his work yesterday so he didn’t have to do any over the weekend. Instead, he glanced at his phone to see if any new messages came through. His eyes landed on (Name)’s icon almost out of habit, but the last message sent was still the confirmation that they were on their way.

Homework help was a common occurrence in their relationship. Armin still vividly remembered the day him and (Name) met; a little less than two weeks into the semester, Armin was doing class work when (Name), looking rather exasperated, quietly walked into the classroom and took the only open seat— right next to Armin. He didn’t pay much attention to them initially, but out of the corner of his eye he could see them struggling to get the work done. It was becoming clear to Armin, as class continued, that (Name) was certainly not a computer science major.

For no other reason than he was a friendly and helpful guy, Armin asked if they needed any help with the class work. The look of relief on (Name)’s face after hearing his offer was a memory that always made Armin feel warm and fuzzy. One study session turned into two, then three, then Armin and (Name) were hanging out a few times every week just for fun.

“Hey,” a voice called out from behind him. Armin turned, now met with (Name)’s cheerful smile as they held up two paper bags. “I got some food on the way here!”

It felt like the least (Name) could do to repay Armin for always helping them. They knew he was such a busy guy; Armin was a popular guy who studied hard enough to be on the dean’s list every semester, and even then he still managed to find the time to have a study date with (Name). Knowing that Armin was always there to help and support them was enough to bear through the pain of a class they hardly understood.

Armin grinned. “Wow! thanks, (Name).” He grabbed the bag (Name) held out for him, their fingers briefly brushing against each other. The feeling was electricity— not a painful shock, but more like sparks flying, and it’s exhilarating as much as it was scary. (Name) pulled their hand back quickly, eyes flitting towards Armin to gauge his reaction. Maybe it was to save the situation from becoming awkward, or he simply just didn’t mind, because all he did was quietly laugh.

Feelings. It’s so complicated, but not at all at the same time. Armin and (Name) became friends so quickly and everything just sort of clicked for them; it felt like, honestly, that they had been friends their whole life. And, maybe, their relationship had the chance to go further. (Name) was not embarrassed to say that they fell for Armin rather fast— from the moment so many months ago when Armin offered to help them to now, (Name)’s heart burned for him. His kindness and generosity was unmatched by anyone they had ever known previously. They could listen to Armin talk for hours, whether he talked about computer science or geography, (Name) was enamored with everything about him.

Of course, (Name) considered nearly every day what it would be like to actually confess those feelings to him. The conclusion they came to every time was that it would just be better not to. (Name) could not find any evidence that Armin shared the same feelings, and possibly jeopardizing their friendship by confessing was too terrifying a thought. Still, that doesn’t stop (Name) from imagining that life, in love and happy, before drifting off to sleep every night.

“So, besides the homework,” Armin began before taking the first bite of his meal. “How are you doing?”

(Name) shrugged. “I’m alright! Not much going on with me, honestly. Once I get all my work done I’m finally free.” They smiled brightly at their last few words, and Armin’s eyes sparkled at the sight. “How about you? Lots of homework?”

“I’m good. I was able to get all my homework done so I’m free this weekend, too.” Armin’s smile set (name)’s heart ablaze every time.

“Nice,” (Name) said near instantly. “I bet you have plans with Eren and Mikasa—“ They paused a moment, internalizing what Armin had just said. He already finished all his homework? So, the sole reason he was there was just because (Name) asked for homework help?

“Wait, I didn’t realize you didn’t have any homework. I feel bad I made you come out here just to help me!” Suddenly, (Name) felt guilty. They probably could’ve just called Armin and got his help that way, rather than make him come to the student center for no real reason. “I’m really sorry…”

Armin blinked, then placed a gentle hand on (Name)’s shoulder. They looked up at him, met with a worried expression mirroring their own. “Hey, don’t feel bad! I’m the one who suggested the student center in the first place, remember? Besides, I like spending time with you, homework or not.”

How was it that Armin always found the right words for (Name)? They felt honored, truly, and can only hope Armin turned a blind eye to how how much their face was burning and how badly they’re shaking under his touch. Their faces were close together now that Armin had leaned forward, (Name) entranced by his ocean blue eyes. Only in (Name)’s happy little fantasies could they entertain the idea of Armin having feelings for them, but this was reality—

“I like you. I really like you.” The words flew out of (Name)’s mouth out of nowhere. Like some rogue inhibition got the better of their self control and blurted out the very thing (Name) wanted to take to their grave. Their hand flew to cover their mouth, eyes widened in shock of their own actions. What the hell?! “Oh my god, I’m so sorry— I don’t know why I just said that out loud!”

What the fuck happened to their impulse control? (Name) could’ve just destroyed their friendship, and it was all because they accidentally said their thoughts aloud. The idle chatter from nearby students began to sound more like indistinct gossiping. Irrational panic suddenly took hold of (Name)’s mind and the thought that this stupid mistake was how it ended made them want to throw up.

Armin, though, remained a beacon of light as always. He gripped (Name)’s shoulder firmly but cautiously, bringing them back from their state of panic. “Hey, calm down,” Armin murmured. “You don’t have to apologize at all. Honestly, I should be the only one apologizing— maybe I should’ve confessed sooner.”

“Huh?” (Name) blinked. Had they heard him right? What did he have to confess? Of course, that was more or less a rhetorical question; (Name) just couldn’t believe it. “You… like me, too?”

“I do! I really like you…” Moving his hand from (Name)’s shoulder, Armin held it out for them to take. With one brief moment of hesitation, (Name) took his hand and the way their fingers interlocked was what finally confirmed to (Name) that this was real. “Ever since we met, I feel like I’ve been a lot happier. You always make my days better.”

Dread slowly turned into giddiness. It was like stars aligned. Like flowers were blooming in their heart. (Name) would be cheering and leaping with joy were they not in public. “Wow… wow! What a roller coaster of emotions, geez,” (Name) gasped. “Well, whatever, I’m too happy now!”

They both laughed, at peace with knowing that they shared the same feelings for each other. Still holding onto each other, Armin turned the attention back to (Name)’s unfinished homework. “C’mon, as soon as we get your work done, we’ll have time to go on a real date.”

(Name) grinned. “I’m looking forward to it!”
