1. He Falls First — and Hard

Armin catches feelings fast. He tries to rationalize them with logic (“It’s just oxytocin, it’s fine...”) but he's doodling your name in the margins of his notebooks and overanalyzing your every interaction. He falls headfirst, heart-first, everything-first.

2. Soft, Timid Cuddler

He's the kind of guy who hesitantly asks, “Can I hold you?” the first time — but once you say yes, he melts into you. He loves when you lie on his chest while he plays with your hair and mumbles random facts until you fall asleep.

3. Shared Blanket While Studying

You’re both curled up under one blanket at his desk or on the couch. He’s highlighting notes, you’re doodling on his pages, and every once in a while he just pauses to press a kiss to your temple.

4. Blushing Bookworm

Every time you compliment his intelligence or say something like, “You’re so cute when you talk like that,” he blushes immediately and tries to hide his smile behind a book.

5. Morning “I Missed You”

He’s a big fan of sleepy morning cuddles and gentle forehead kisses. Even if he saw you the day before, he’ll say things like, “I missed you… I had a dream we were reading together.”

6. Handwritten Love Letters

Armin writes love letters in cursive on aged paper like it’s the 1800s. He keeps one in his backpack “just in case” he wants to give it to you, but sometimes chickens out and hides it somewhere for you to find instead.

7. Always Soft-Spoken When He Says “I Love You”

He doesn’t throw the words around lightly. When he says “I love you,” he says it like a secret. Like it’s the most sacred phrase he knows.

8. Gentle Forehead Touches

He loves the quiet intimacy of resting his forehead against yours, especially when he's nervous or overwhelmed. You’ve become his safe space.

9. Nerdy Pet Names

He calls you things like “Starlight,” “Muse,” “Nova,” or even “My constant,” based on some scientific or literary context. He gets embarrassed when you tease him about it, but he never stops.

10. He Tells His Books About You

Armin has a favorite passage or quote in nearly every book he owns that reminds him of you. Sometimes, he dog-ears the page, writes your initials next to it, and rereads it when he’s missing you.

﹡ ͏🍡 ͏ author’s ͏ ͏✿̣͙⃢ note ͏ ͏ ͏𖦹 ͏ : Jean-boy being a cutie and crushing on you

💭 ׂ 𓈒 🍥 🍰 warning(s): none, pure fluff

⎯⎯ ©tarobambi 2025 don’t steal ⎯⎯

💭 First signs ⠀ ̩̩͙*: •̩̩͙˚

Looks at you way too long — He thinks he’s being subtle, but he’s not. If you catch him staring, he’ll immediatelylook away and pretend he was focused on something else.

Tries to be cooler than he actually is — Suddenly he's leaning on walls, slicking back his hair, or tossing out "casual" compliments that sound rehearsed.

Becomes super helpful — He’ll jump up to carry your stuff, walk you to your room, or volunteer for tasks justbecause you’re involved.

🍡 How He Talks to You ⠀ ̩̩͙*: •̩̩͙˚

Voice gets all soft — He doesn’t even realize it, but he uses a gentler tone when he talks to you. Like you’re the only person in the room.

Nervous babbling or awkward silences — There’s no in-between. He’ll either talk too much or get completely tongue-tied around you.

Goes out of his way to make you laugh — Jean lives for your laugh. He’ll crack dumb jokes or roast Connie just to see you smile.

🍦 His behavior around you ⠀ ̩̩͙*: •̩̩͙˚

Jealous but quiet about it — If someone else flirts with you, Jean won’t say anything... but he’ll sulk quietly and glare daggers when he thinks no one’s looking.

Acts tougher when you’re around — If you're nearby during a mission or training, he suddenly has something to prove. He’ll push himself harder and act like it’s no big deal.

Always remembers your preferences — Your favorite food, the way you like your tea, even little things you said in passing weeks ago. He’s a quiet observer when it comes to you.

🧁 Inner thoughts ⠀ ̩̩͙*: •̩̩͙˚

Overthinks everything he says to you — After talking to you, he’ll replay the conversation in his head a dozen times, kicking himself for anything he thinks sounded dumb.

Wonders if he’s your type — Jean worries he’s not flashy or heroic enough. He compares himself to others and wonders if you'd even notice someone like him.

Imagines what it’d be like to date you — He’ll zone out during downtime just picturing holding your hand or cuddling after a long day.

🍮 Clues he’s crushing ⠀ ̩̩͙*: •̩̩͙˚

Gets flustered easily — Tease him a little and he’ll turn red. You could just compliment his hair and he’d act like you proposed.

Gives you his food without hesitation — He’ll offer you the last bite of something he likes without even thinking about it.

Goes quiet when you praise him — You tell him he did something well and he’s speechless, eyes wide like, you really think that?

🍏 When someone points it out ⠀ ̩̩͙*: •̩̩͙˚

“W-What? Me? Liking them? Pfft, no way.” He’s terrible at lying, though. Ears red, voice cracking — dead giveaway.

Connie or Sasha would tease him relentlessly. Armin and Mikasa would just give him that knowing look.

Eventually, you start noticing it too... but the question is: do you make the first move or let him squirm longer?

just thinking about nerd!armin who bakes you study snacks labeled with sticky notes like “anti-cram cookies” and “brain fuel brownies” and swears it’s “just because you looked stressed,” not because he watched a YouTube tutorial at 2am to make your favorite flavor.
