Armin’s blue eyes drifted lazily across the words, eyes heavily lidded as he barely registered the small text printed onto the pages. A dopey smile was plastered onto his face as he read, and he yawned every few minutes, maybe seconds. He didn't know why he was so tired. Maybe it was just the homey feel of the library during the evening. The nice distinct smell of cinnamon the place somehow conjured up that he always found calming, the light shining in through the window, streaming onto the table he sat at in a beautiful yellow-orange glow that bathed him in a comfortable warmth. The fact that he had stayed up a little too late the night before, the determination to finish a book he had been far too invested in for quite some time fueling him to stay awake...

Or, maybe it was the brunette beside him, silently surfing through a book of his own, his hand lovingly petting his lover’s hair. Armin loved the relaxing sensation of Eren’s hand gliding effortlessly through his hair over and over, allowing him to feel at peace.

He closed his eyes, sighing in bliss. Nothing could be better than this.

“Armin?”

Armin opened his eyes to the sound of Eren’s voice. Sleepy sky blue looked over into vibrant teal-green as he gave a quiet hum of acknowledgment, “Hm…?”

“Armin, you're kind of nodding off. Did you get any sleep last night?”

The blonde blushed. He shook his head, trying to fully wake up, only succeeding in giving himself a slight headache. “Oh… I-I’m sorry,” Was all he could manage before he was struck by another one of his heavy yawns, wiping away the tears that had formed in the corners of his eyes.

Eren’s hand moved to the side of Armin’s head, pulling it down to his shoulder. “Get some sleep. You're an idiot for staying up so late again.” He murmured, looking back down at his book and continuing to read.

Armin nodded into his shoulder, allowing himself to rest his head on his boyfriend’s shoulder, giving a tired sigh as Eren once again began running his hands through his hair. He latched onto Eren’s shirt, letting his eyes flutter shut as he drifted into sleep.

Eren looked away from his book and down at the blonde when he felt the grip on his shirt loosen, telling him Armin had fallen asleep. He took a moment to listen to his slow, deep breathing, the only sound to be heard in the absolutely silent library. He unconsciously pulled Armin closer, closing his book and resting his head on top of the slightly unkempt, blonde head of hair.

He smiled, closing his eyes and letting himself enjoy the moment. Nothing could be better than this.
