I grab Armin's hand.
He looks over at me. "Yeah?"
"Can I kiss you right now?" I ask him.
"I guess," he says.
And so I pull him in and kiss him.
He is flushed bright red.
"Eren what the hell?! That was longer than you've ever kissed me!" Armin says, in a surprised tone.
He turns around and pulls something out of his pocket.
"Eren," Armin says, turning to face me. "Here, I got this for you, I wanted to wait 'till today to show you. Because it's your birthday. So, think of this as a birthday gift, 'kay"
I inspect the box 'till I remember that it's my birthday.
I blink. Oh, uh. . .Thank you."
"Guys, shut up, I got the drinks."
I look up to see Mikasa.
"Hey, girl?" I say.
Sasha peeks out from behind them.
She has meat and a baked potato. "Hey, what are you up to?"
Armin buries his face in my shoulder and I nod. "Armin was just giving me a birthday gift."
"Oh," Sasha says. "Is it your birthday?"
"Yes, it is, my birthday has finally arrived! Now, Zeke can't complain!" I scream, like a bird of course.
Then Zeke walks up with Levi and says. "How's this for not complaining, why do you always take the. . .The. . .Ugh!"
"Why are you like this, Zeke?" Levi asks.
I pull my face out of Eren's shoulder. "Hi, guys."
"Hey Armin," Mikasa says.
Mikasa has pigtails, a long-sleeved shirt, a skirt with spikes on the waist band, a choker that matches their skirt, braces but the dots are bats, boots, and a hairclip that has a rainbow, sun, water, clouds, and flowers.
Sasha has a ponytail, a shorter-sleeved shirt, a sleeveless sweater vest, a skirt with slits on the sides, boots, and a hairclip that looks weird, it has potatoes, meat, and seasonings.
"Armin," Sasha says. "Are you gay?"
I look way over at her. "What?! Why do you think I'm gay?!"
"Cause you act it," Sasha says.
"I do not," I'm too defensive.
Sasha turns to Mikasa more. "Right?"
Mikasa nods. "He told me that he's gay. And Armin, you can let basically anyone in our friend group know."
"So stop hiding it," Sasha says. "Stop sulking in the corner and man up!"
Eren holds his hand up. "Guys stop being mean to each other, okay? You guys are friends for god sake, so start acting like it, alright?"
"Are you standing up for him?" Sasha asks him. ". . .Loverboy."
"No, what I'm trying to do is get you guys to act like friends," Eren says pulling his hair back. "Do I need permission to do that?"
I shake my head. "No."
"Maybe, if you give me food then no, but if you don't give me food then yes," Sasha says.
Just then I hear a voice say. "Sure thing, Potato girl."
I look over to see. . .Jean and Marco,
"Hey, guys," I say, smiling at the sight of a kind person, also a pair of new people.
Marco closes his eyes and smiles. "Hey, Armin."
"Hello," Jean says. "Marco."
"Polo," Marco says, looking over at Jean.
"Have you seen Ymir and Historia?" Jean says asks.
Zeke yells at the top of his lungs. "I am only in love with Levi!"
Levi takes out his pistol-broom. "Stop in the name of the law!"
Ymir and Historia show up along-side Yelena and Pieck.
"If you don't stop yelling Zeke, you're going to DIE!!" Ymir says.
Ymir grabs Historia's head to cover her ears.
Historia looks over and sees Marco and Jean, then she grins and waves at them. "When'd you guys come back?"
"Yesterday night, I would have called you guys on group chat, but it was late so," Marco says, putting a hand to his head. "Sorry."
"No, it's okay," Historia says.
Marco looks at her intensely. "I swear, I'm truly sorry."
They have a little chat for a while, then Historia tapes his mouth shut.
Nicely of course.
"Now, Marco, it's okay!" Historia says.
Ymir grabs Historia up and holds her up in the sky.
Historia pulls out a cage and hands it to me. "Happy birthday!"
On the cage is a tag, on the tag read: 𝙃͜𝙖͜𝙥͜𝙥͜𝙮͜ 𝙗͜𝙞͜𝙧͜𝙩͜𝙝͜𝙙͜𝙖͜𝙮͜, 𝙀͜𝙧͜𝙚͜𝙣͜ 𝙅͜𝙖͜𝙚͜𝙜͜𝙚͜𝙧͜! 𝙇͜𝙤͜𝙫͜𝙚͜, 𝙃͜𝙞͜𝙨͜𝙩͜𝙤͜𝙧͜𝙞͜𝙖͜!
Then at the bottom it read:𝙎͜𝙤͜𝙧͜𝙧͜𝙮͜ 𝙖͜𝙗͜𝙤͜𝙪͜𝙩͜ 𝙩͜𝙝͜𝙚͜ 𝙨͜𝙢͜𝙖͜𝙡͜𝙡͜ 𝙬͜𝙧͜𝙞͜𝙩͜𝙞͜𝙣͜𝙜͜ 𝙖͜𝙩͜ 𝙩͜𝙝͜𝙚͜ 𝙚͜𝙣͜𝙙͜! 𝙔͜𝙚͜𝙩͜ 𝙖͜𝙜͜𝙖͜𝙞͜𝙣͜, 𝙡͜𝙤͜𝙫͜𝙚͜, 𝙃͜𝙞͜𝙨͜𝙩͜𝙤͜𝙧͜𝙞͜𝙖͜!!!!
I look up at the cage and see. . .A bird! "Thank you so much, Historia, you are the best!"
Ymir kicks my kneecaps, my shins, and my crotch.
"Ow!" I scream in pain.
Armin rushes over to me. "Are you okay?!"
"No but lean forward, 'kay?" I say.
"'Kay."
I kiss him.
"Are you okay now?" Ymir asks, taking a picture of us.
"Yes, thanks, Armin, I love you," I say.
He just stares at me with soulless eyes.
"Uhh," I say. "Okay, whatever."
Marco and Horseface are playing rock-paper-scissors.
Then Conney and Conney Jr. walk in.
"I love Hazelnut," Conney and Conney Jr. sing together. "Oooh, I love Hazelnut, do you love Hazelnut?"
"Yes, in fact it's the type of coffee and creamer I drink every time I drink coffee," I say. "Unless I'm out, then I ask, Armin if I can have some of his."
Armin stands up. "And I say yes, because I'm a loving boyfriend."
"I knew it!" Sasha says. "You're gay, Armin! and you can't do anything about it!"
"So are you, Sasha," Mikasa says. "So don't make fun of, Armin."
Sasha looks down at her food. "No I 'm not! I'm in love with food!"
I chuckle. "Yeah, surrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeee you are."
"I am!! You can't stop me from liking food!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sasha yells at me.
Levi smacks her. "Shut it, you rat."
Erwin grabs Levi, kisses him and makes it his goal to kiss all the adult couples he knows, then he kisses Zeke.
Hange laughs like a maniac and starts tickling Sawney and Bean with that weird thing she uses all the damn time.
Eren says. "Commander Erwin, can I talk to you alone please?"
Erwin nods. "Come."
They go to the bathroom, and it takes the same amount of time when Eren kisses me.
"Armin, will you marry me?" Eren asks, when he comes out.
Oh no!
"Oh my, oh my god. Eren, you killed Erwin, am I correct?" I shout at the top of my lungs.
"No, he's going piss."
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!" Zeke laughs loudly.
Levi glares at Zeke. "Shut up, you Stinky Monkey."
Yelena starts break-dancing.
"Mom, you don't know how I dance!" Yelena says.
Pieck looks at her with a tried look. "Yelena, you have a show in half an hour."
"Can you help me with my make-up, Babe?" Yelena asks.
Pieck nods. "Yeah."
Yelena pulls out a desk with a mirror, lights, and. . .I count 1,000,000 drawers.
Yelena then pulls out a lot of make-up. "Here, Pieck."
Pieck takes the eyeshadow and a makeup brush.
Pieck asks. "What shade?"
Yelena replies with. "A punk one."
Pieck touches the brush to a shade that looks punky.
Yelena closes her eyes and lets Pieck do her make-up.
I grab Armin and pull him in towards me, and then for just a second, I feel the niceness of my first kiss again, as I pull Armin closer, 'till our faces are close together and our lips are touching.
A moment later we are no longer kissing.
Levi takes out his pistol-broom and smacks Hange with it.
"Ow! What was that for, Levi?!" Hange asks.
Levi puts his pistol-broom back and says. "Four Eyes, you didn't get a shower."
"Yes, yes I did," Hange says "What are you talking about, Levi?"
Erwin comes out blowing on his hands.
ruI sigh in relief. "Thank god."
Erwin looks up at me. "Thank god? For what?"
"Nothing," I say.
"Now that's a funny story," Bertholdt says.
"Hello!" Historia says.
"Hey. How's the married life?" Bertholdt asks.
Historia smiles. "Amazing!"
"That's good," Reiner chimes in.
Annie glares at us all.
"Ugh! Falco I'm more manly than you are. Just accept it, 'kay?!" Gabi exclaims.
"Y-yeah," Falco stutters.
I give Falco the sign.
And he grabs Gabi's hand and kisses her before hesitating.
Everyone cheers.
Gabi blinks angerly, but the way she flushes tells us that she enjoyed it.
Levi and Annie just watch.
Zeke is too busy shouting in monkey.
But everyone else is cheering.
"What was that for?!" Gabi asks.
"Uh-" Falco starts but Colt walks in.
"He likes you," Colt says.
Falco blushes.
I walk over to him. "You did great!"
Hange looks happier than ever. "This calls for a party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"What?!" the redhead Floch calls.
Eren groans. "Go away, Floch."
"But why Eren?!" the redhead screams. "Go away?!"
Eren knocks himself out.
Petra, Miche, and Oruo walk in. "I declare that Levi and Oruo get together!"
"No."
"Those are orders from Zachary," Miche says. "And Erwin. Correct?"
"Yes, yes that's correct," Erwin says.
Hitch starts painting. "I'm going to paint a cat."
Marlo licks the floor.
"Fuckin' freak," Eren says, and kisses my cheek.
Yelena and Pieck leave.
Yelena blows kisses to all of us, as Pieck drags her.
We hear a very loud boom and look out the window to see. . .Tom Holland?!
Gabi walks out and flips him off. "DIE SIPDERMAN!!!!!"
The school building shakes.
I fall back into Eren.
"Armin!" Eren says. "Are you okay?!"
"Yeah!" I say.
Tom Holland walks in, looking super-hot. "Hey."
My fanboy heart races.
"So. . .Hot," I say.
Mikasa stares at me. "Your man's gone."
"How dare you!" Eren growls.
Tom Holland takes my hand and gets down on one knee. "Will you go to prom with me?"
"Yes!" I say.
Ymir holds a gun and Eren steals it.
Tom covers his face with one hand and grabs my waist with the other. "Come, darling."
"I'm coming," I say.
Gabi flips us off.
Tom sticks his tongue out and I'm tempted to kiss him. I notice that he has a tongue piercing, too.
"Falco!" Gabi screams. "Save me!"
"Gabi!" Falco tackles her. "I'm here to save you! You're safe!"
"I love you," I say to Tom.
"I know, darling. I love you, too," he says back.
Eren dies.
Ymir laughs. "How's it goin' Tom?!"
"Splendidly," Tom replies. "And you?"
"Amazing!" Ymir says, then kisses Historia.
Tom leans in and I pucker up.
I close my eyes and kiss him.
He spins around like Marinette and transforms into Spiderman.
Gabi runs out of the building and gets John and Gordon.
"OMG! You are so fab!" I say to Tom.
Tom grins. "Of course, my darling."
I cry. "I love you so MUCH!"
He pats my head. "Yes."
I hug him.
He dies.
"No!!" I scream. "Not Tom!!!"
"I'm not dead, darling."
I throw my arms around Tom. "Thank god."
He kisses me. "Indeed."
Eren sulks. "Armin.
Ymir laughs like a maniac.
Hange stops tickling Sawney and Bean. "Oh no! Poor Eren!"
I hold onto his neck.
Tom grins like a sexy prince. "Let us go, my love."
"Yes, let us go," I say.
We travel to Tom's mansion.
A man shows up and asks. "Is that you Master Tom Holland?"
Tom nods. "Yes, Jeral. It is I."
"Yay!" Jeral yelps.
The mansion is almost as sexy as Tom Holland himself.
Tom sets me down in the doorway.
I widen my eyes. "Wow!"
Tom smiles. "Ah, yes. This is just one out of ten hundred."
I die. "Do they all look like this?"
"No. They're all different," Tom says.
"Oh, but I have a feeling that they are all nice," I say.
"Yes, they are."
I smile.
He's the best.
I love him so much.
I'm not gonna ever leave him.
"I'm gonna read one of the books in my backpack," I say, pulling out a book out of my backpack.
He points to a window seat. "You can read over there, darling."
"Oh, okay," I say. "Thanks."
"Of course. I'll make you some food." Tom leaves.
I smile.
Jeral walks over to me and hands me a cup of tea, sugar, milk, a spoon, and a plate.
I take it and put it all together. "Thanks."
A person in a cloak walks up and taps Jeral. "Um, Sir, do you know where Tom is?"
Eren?
"Are you one of Master Tom's friends?!"
The person tilts their head just enough for me to see them smile evilly. "Of course, I'm one of his friends."
"I know where he is," I say, standing up. "Follow me."
I take them to Tom.
They chuckle quietly. "I've found you, Tom. Remember me?"
The person throws back their hood.
Eren?!
Tom smiles. "Of course. Care for some cheese?"
"Is it poison?" Eren asks.
Tom eats a slice. "No."
"Okay, I eat this shit every day for breakfast," Eren says, eating it.
Tom nods. "Respectable."
I glance at those two before realizing that they're getting along.
I smile then leave to the room.
I pick up the book.
Open it and read it.
***
After reading for a long time I go check on Eren and Tom.
Jeral sits on the table like a total dive.
Eren has his face in Tom's face.
I think they're having an eye-contest.
I sit with Jeral and Jeral says. "Times up!"
Eren looks up at Jeral and me. "Who won?"
"Both, I think none of you blinked, did you?" Jeral says.
Tom pulls Eren's gaze back to his and kisses him.
Eren flips him off and punches him. "What was that for?!"
"Because I love you," Tom says, clutching his bloody nose.
I get him medical aid right away. "There you go."
Eren looks at him. "I thought you and Armin were together, you two are together right?"
Tom puts an arm around my waist and pulls me in. "Of course. But he loves you, Eren. And anyone my darling loves, I love, too."
Eren looks over at me. "You do?"
"Yes," I say, and grab his hand.
"Does this. . ." Eren says. "That we all can be together?"
Tom winks. "Of course. I love the two of you with all of my spidey senses."
Jeral throws a party.
I sit in a corner of the party with Eren and Tom.
The lighting looks just like the bisexual flag.
Eren pulls me over towards him and I pull Tom towards us.
I smile. "I love you guys."
Eren puts his cloak on us all and we cuddle.
Tom falls asleep.
Jeral picks Tom up and takes him to his room now it's just me and Eren.
"Like the old days?" Eren says.
"Like the old days," I say.
Eren and Me make out.
***
The next day I wake up to Eren hovering over me, and a terrible headache.
"Alright, now Tom are you listening?!" Eren calls, and my head aches more.
Tom replies. "Yeah."
"I'm going to the bank," Eren says. "Alright?"
Then he stands up straight and grabs his coat and keys. "Bye."
I wave and watch him leave. "Drive safe, love you, bye!"
"Love you too, and I will drive safe," Eren says then mumbles something under his breath.
It sounds like, "After I rub the bank." But I'm not sure.
I stand up and stumble into the kitchen.
"Hey," I say, falling into the counter. "Ow."
Tom grabs my elbow. "Are you alright, love?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," I say, putting my other hand on my side.
Tom takes me into his arms.
I hug him and we stay like this for a little while.
Then he kisses me softly.
I kiss him back softly.
"I love you so much, you and Eren are my everything. That's how much I love you guys," I say, now over at the coffee machine.
I look over at Tom. "What do you think about me getting a new haircut? This Bob is getting kinda annoying. That's why I asked you."
Tom smiles. "Whatever you want, darling."
I smile at him. "I've got a perfect one in mind.
Tom waves his hand and Jeral appears out of thin air.
"Cut my darling's hair, please," he says.
"Yes ma'am!" Jeral says, turning his hand into scissors.
Tom nods.
"What would you like your haircut to be?" Jeral asks, walking over to me.
I pull up a picture on my phone. "This."
Jeral nods and says. "I'm gonna need some practice for that. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I can wait," I say, smiling. "Do you want any coffee, Tom?"
Tom flips his hair at Jeral.
"Practice on me."
"As soon as you answer him."
"Yes," Tom says.
"Okay, I'll make you some," I say and start some coffee.
***
I pull out my phone. "He should have been here twenty minutes ago."
I look over at Tom. "We should go check on Eren, he should have been here twenty minutes ago."
Tom nods. "I agree. I don't want him getting hurt."
We go out to the car and go find Eren.
Eren stands at the front desk, gun pointed at a lady's head.
"Give me the money, now!" Eren says.
"Eren, why" Why do all this? And with Ymir's gun?" I ask.
He ignores me. "I'll shoot."
Tom walks forward. "Eren."
Eren snaps his head. "What?! Why are you here?!"
"To help you," Tom says.
"Why would you help me steal money?" Eren asks.
"No. To help you-"
A loud bang rings through my ears, and Tom falls to the ground.
