|A|N| lol look at my new babies ^^^ I finally made a new Instagram where I'm being more candid. You can find me @/unravelingreality (that you for the username idea person on here). Oh my god I'm so nervous for my story end. Jesus. It's gonna be in the next few chapters.... I almost never finish stories. I used to start stories on bitstrips years back but I'd never finish them because I'd move onto a newer-better idea. But this one I've stuck too for a long time now and I'm proud. I haven't changed this story for anyone's likings but mine. I'm so glad people have liked my ideas.

|Story Starts|

When we got home Armin stormed up/downstairs to my room and locked himself in. Figures he'd be upset. I ran to the door and knocked a few times.

"Armin could you please come out and talk? I'm sorry, I had to tell you. I never wanted it to be this way."

"It's okay Y/N. I'm fine. There's nothing to talk about. I get it. I'll be out in a minute. I'm just feeling a bit dizzy so I need to lie down for a minute."

He cried, trying so hard to stay calm.

"I'll be in the living room-"

"Could you just wait a second? I'll let you in here once I feel better- stop feeling so dizzy."

"Alright. I'll sit out here."

You sat down laying your back and head against the wall. I can hear him crying and sniffling. He's so upset. It's all my fault. It wouldn't of helped if I held it off any longer. I should of told him right when I heard the news from my dad. There isn't a knot in my stomach anymore. Now all that's there is deep, empty, dark guilt.

|Quick Time Skip|

A few minutes later you heard the door unlock with a 'click'. You got up and went inside. It was dark. Armin was laying in your bed. You lay down behind him. I can feel him shaking.

"Armin, can we talk about this?"

"There's nothing to talk about. You have to leave because the crystal won't last long enough to stay."

"That's not it."

"Then what is it?"

"It's not that I'm leaving you voluntarily it's just that it's forcing me. But I swear we will be together again. I'll make another crystal-"

"Why can't your dad? He's the scientist. Why would you waste time on trying to make one yourself?"

"The rest of my family is going to flee. The government found out about the crystal and they're going to try and take it when they get a warrant. Apparently we live on some weird land that they don't have access too so that's why it's taken this long."

"What!? People are after you!? You never told me that!?"

"Well that's why I just did."

Armin turned over to face you. He began to cry.

"Are you going with your family?"

"They've already left."

"No! You can't be on your own! It's going to be so hard!"

"Armin, I'll be fine. I can use my college funds to pay for a house and some food. I can get a job. You don't need to worry. Everything's going to be okay for me..."

"But I'm scared that something will go wrong and I won't be able to help you."

"Nothing's going to go wrong. We shouldn't think about my after. What about yours? What are you going to do?"

"I don't know. But I'm gonna have a hard time without you Y/N. I love you so much. I can't pretend that everything's alright because it's not."

He sobbed. You held onto his curled up hands.

"I know. I feel horrible too. I never want to leave you. I love you."

I began tearing up and my voice got all cryish.

"I'm so sorry Armin. I never thought it'd turn out this way."

You cried into yours and his hands.

"Y/N, would you ever consider m-marrying me?"

"Yes."

"If I proposed before you left, would you say yes?"

"Of coarse I would."

"Could I? So that I at least end up having forever love even if you don't come back? I don't care if you go with other guys when you're in your time. As long as I have that love promise then I'll be fine."

"Armin all I need is you. I don't need or want other guys, and sure. I think doing that is a great idea. When I get back we can have the best wedding ever."

Armin smiled through his tears.

"I'd like that a lot. I already can't wait to see you again."

You giggled.

"You're seeing me right now. I'm not leaving yet."

"I know. But I can already feel lonely, like I can feel my future feelings- if that makes sense."

"Yeah, it sort of does. I never intended it to be like this. I hope you understand that I never meant to hurt you."

"I know that. I'm just sad that you have to leave. I don't know what I'm gonna do without you."

"I won't be gone that long, I have my dads notes and stuff on how he made the crystal so it'll be easy to make another. I'll probably be from three days to two months top. Then we'll be together again. Promise."

"That long!?"

"Armin I've gone camping longer than that- without anyone else. You'll be fine. I know you'll manage that long. You lived fifteen years without me."

"Because I didn't even know someone like you existed. But now it's different. Aren't you going to miss me?"

"Of coarse! You're my boy! I love you, it's going to be hard without you. I even hate leaving you to go pee. But you'll be my motivation."

"To pee!?"

"No!"

You laughed.

"To work hard on making another crystal and getting back here as soon as possible."

"Oh, well that make more sense."
