Armin quickly gave the keys to the hotel reception, and ran towards the exit, before taking a taxi. Hoping he arrives on time, before she gets on the train. He tried to call her, but the blonde did not seem to want to say a word to her at all. He tried the messages, but it did not work either. It was 10 minutes before she got on the train with her father. He called Reiner who told him that they were leaving soon, he had tried to ring Annie, but she did not want to hear anything. The driver was extremely long, it pissed off, and he listened to annoying music. He finally arrived at the station, where the blonde paid him quickly and rushed to the docks, more than 2 minutes. He could hear the hissing sound for the departure of the train. Armin continued to run, avoiding passersby on his way but he was held back by the controller.
With her head resting against the window, Annie stared at the landscape unfolding before her eyes, city and countryside landscapes, showing that she was moving away more and more. Now 20 minutes she was on this train. She grabbed her cell phone which was full of missed calls and messages, knowing very well who it came from. She put it away and put it out silently. Reiner and Berthold glanced at each other, as his father questioned him:

- It's okay ?
- Yes why ? Annie asked, sitting up on the bench.
-It looks like you got off on the wrong foot," Berthold added.
- Tiredness.

Her father raised his eyebrows knowing that she was lying to him, he knew her too well.
After returning to the north, Eren went to his friend's home to congratulate him on his medal. But he noticed that he was not really in the mood to drink champagne and have fun. The blonde answered his questions with a simple "Yes" or "No".

- Are you going to see Annie again? Eren asked, sprawling on the couch beside her, while having a glass of champagne.
- I don't think so.
- Huh? Are you serious ?! Why ?
- We argued. Finally...
- Why ?
- Say, how did you see our "relationship" between us? Armin added, turning to him.
- Oh well it was obvious that she loved you chuckled the brown while drinking his drink. She devoured you with her eyes.
- Be serious please.
- But I'm serious! Tell me what she did with you, as sign "affection".
- Well, she came home when I was bad after the death of my parents, she reassured me during my stay at the championships, she gave me confidence ...
- No kiss?
- Just on the cheek.
- Coming from ?
- She, it was always she who took the first step ..
- Did not you do anything ?! Eren asked with big eyes.

Armin turned his head away from the brown staring at him. Indeed, he did not do anything. He had revealed feelings to her, but had not even had the courage to tell him, he was stuck, he had not regained his self-confidence. He did not want to lose her, not her, he had to tell him. But she did not respond to messages or calls ...

-I'm going to the South," said Armin, suddenly getting up from the couch, leaving Eren in utter misunderstanding with his glass of champagne.
- Huh? Now ? But you're sick it's six o'clock! You will not ride all night!
- If said Armin while packing.
- Hold on ! Council, leave it alone a few days and after you go see it, do not go headlong. I know then, huh.
- That's for sure.
- Ah, that's nice, and you pretend to be my friend? Without messing around, wait a few days.

In reality Armin wanted to go immediately, no matter if he rolls at night, as long as he wanted to tell him, confess him. Eren had gone home, and the bond was lying in bed, reading a book, the little cat climbed onto the mattress while purring happily against him. The blonde stroked his head and took his laptop before turning it on. He could not help but watch some of Annie's performances, including one where she was skating solo. The camera had a plan on his face during his dance, his eyes were so beautiful, crystal clear blue. And that smile, he would never tire of it, he would give everything to see him again. The blond closed his cell and put it on the nightstand before turning off the light and lying under his blankets. It was decided, he will go to the south in three days, to see her again and tell him. He loved her, and had never confessed to him since the first day ....
