|A|N| AYYYYYEE I FINALLY UPDATED. I gotta update everything else. I have too many stories...

|Story Starts|

|Time Skip - The New Year, Beginning of January|

It's been too long. We've stayed here way too long. It's been two whole months since we were back in his time. I've tried so, so hard to convince him that going back is a good idea, but, he just won't listen. You sat down at the kitchen table and took a sip of some |favourite tea| tea. Armin who just finished getting dressed in your room, ran up/down the stairs to the main floor.

"Y-"

He interrupted himself with a raspy series of coughs. He collapsed at the bottom of the stairs.

"Jesus Armin!?"

You got up and ran over to his side. Looking down at him, he wheezed. You felt his forehead. No fever.

"There's something seriously wrong with you, this has been getting worse and worse! You don't have a cold, it has to be something else."

"Believe me there's many-"

He coughed.

"Many things wrong with me. But disease isn't one of them. Again, this has happened many times before and I've lived. I'll be fine."

He coughed again.

"I'm tired of this I'll be fine nonsense. You're not fine whatsoever. Can I take you to the doctors?"

"No! P-please Y/N.... it's nothing serious."

"It is. I'm taking you. Get up."

"No, no, no wait! Wait!"

"What?"

"Can we maybe wait a few days, and if it gets worse then we can go?"

You pressed your fingers to your temples and sighed.

"F-Fine- just fine. But if it gets really bad, I don't care when, then I'm taking you."

You got up and pulled Armin up after yourself.

"S-sorry for scaring you. I didn't mean too."

"It's fine. I need a little bit of shit scared out of me before I start to take things seriously-"

"Language!?"

You giggled.

"Sorry. Swearing's a habit."

|Time Skip - Bed Time, 10pm|

It's been a long time since my family abandoned this house. They left it to me, taking all their personal belongings with them. It's kind of been the perfect hideaway for Armin. He just doesn't want to leave. It's always one excuse after another with him of why we must stay. But enough about Armin. My family. According to my fathers notes I have until June or July left with my crystal. I double- no triple checked everything. He wasn't lying. It can't last forever.... neither can me and Armin, sadly.

I figure I'll have to break the news to him eventually. I'm thinking maybe two or three months prior. That way he'll have time to get over it. That means.... I have to tell him in April or May. Ugh I hate this! I hate having to think about leaving my best friend! I love him so much! Armin interrupted your train of thought when he knocked on the door.

"Y/N, I just drained the bath... I wasn't sure if you wanted one after me or not..."

"No, I'm fine. but thanks for thinking about me."

Armin closed the door and threw his towel in the hamper/laundry bin/basket. The cold air hit him, sending shivers down his spine. He scattered over to you and jumped into bed, then coughing. He lay down beside you, underneath the covers.

"Hey Y/N, I can't wait for us to get married. I'm gonna get you the best ring ever and you're gonna look so pretty in your dress."

You turned your head and looked at him, then caressing his cheek.

"Awe, you're so sweet... tell me more."

"Well... we can have it in a really nice place, with lots of colourful flowers- that is if you want too..."

"That sounds good. What else?"

"Well I think it should be a small thing. I'd be anxious if there was a lot of people watching me. I'd want your family to come, and Eren, Mikasa, Marco and maybe Jean. After we can spend the night in a cozy, fancy place. It'll be the best night of my life- not in that way... In the way that it'll be the first night married. Do you want kids?"

You laughed lightly.

"Yes."

"Good. I do too. But I'm just warning you that I'll suck terribly in bed."

You laughed loudly. Even squeezing your eyes shut.

"No you're not."

"And how would you know?"

"You've screwed my mouth before. I'd say you fucking rock in bed."

"Again, language. But that time didn't count. I lasted way longer than I usually would of because of the pill.... and.... I hurt you. I'm really, really sorry Y/N."

"Armin the past is the past. Forget about it. Everything's all good now."

"Inside I'll always regret it but I'll let it go for now... can I continue?"

"Of coarse."

"How many kids do you want?"

"I don't know?..."

"I'm thinking two- or maybe one. Anythings good with me as long as you're happy. But really, you'd be such an amazing mother. I'd of coarse try my hardest to be a good father, I just don't think I'd do very well at it."

"What!? You'd be the best dad ever. You're so gentle and caring. You're everything a child would ever ask for in a parent."

"R-really? Thanks.... but after that, I don't know what'll happen. I guess we'll just live happily ever after."

"Probably."

You wrapped your arms around Armins bare waist and hoist him up onto your chest. Your stomach on his, his legs and arms on yours. It was just a cute moment. He looked you in the eyes with his; big and bold.

"I love you so much Y/N."

He said, letting his head drop down beside yours, and arms wrap around your neck. You put your leg up, in between his, for support.

"I can't wait for our future."
