Armin could see the change in Annie’s eyes and demeanor once he slipped her ring back on her lovely finger. If he still had any doubts-which Armin didn’t-the sight of Annie looking so at peace and happy with the ring would have washed it away. But instead, Armin could feel the pride swelling up within him, emotional because Armin knew that they belonged together. Knew they could come back stronger than ever if they only just tried. There was plenty of hiccups before this moment, any one of them being enough to call it quits. But Armin and Annie stubbornly kept trudging on, until they were able to forge this very moment.
Armin smiled at Annie coming closer, was about to do the same thing himself but Annie was always quicker on her feet than Armin was. His smile shifting into a smirk as he rubbed her knuckles, pressing into her thighs as much as she was, staring down into her bright gaze. Laughing very softly just for her ears as Annie wiped his tears away. His own free hand coming up to cup at her cheek, taking a moment to enjoy her warmth before wiping his thumb against those beautiful tears.
“Mmm?” Armin hummed at his name, loving the sound of her voice saying it, so unlike any other. Shivering at both her words and Annie’s soft kisses, unable to stop the soft sounds coming from his throat, his eyes drinking the sight of Annie’s face as she savored his skin. “Annie...” Armin’s voice sounded whiny, craving everything Annie was confessing. His heartbeat skipping.
“And you say I’m good with my words.” Armin squeezed her hand, closing his eyes to her soft kiss, “I’ve missed you so much. I’ve missed being close to you. Hearing your voice. Holding your hand. Your warmth...” Armin nuzzled his face into Annie’s hair, breathing deeply and kissing her crown, his eyes lazily glancing around the restaurant that had slowly began to fill up without his noticing.
Chuckles escaping him at the stalking mentions again. “I might have been a bit obsessive about it.” Armin sighed softly with pleasure at the feel of her light kisses on his neck. Wishing Annie would mark him again, wishing to mark her once more too. This time it would never break, this time the mate bond would last. But he was patient, knowing they couldn’t do such things in front of human eyes. But soon, Armin hoped, rubbing her knee in soft circles over her thin jeans. Wishing Armin could feel her bare skin, run his hands over her long legs, savoring each inch...
Armin leaned a little back, still holding on to her thigh greedily, pressing his leg against hers, as he watched Annie eat. His own hunger growing by the minute but not for the food, but the piece of dessert right next to him.
“Messy messy,” Armin tsked, and stared with hungry eyes as Annie parted her shirt, loosening the sides till Armin began to frown slightly at the thought of anyone seeing the generous swells of her breasts. Armin was already bending down, intent on licking her sweet mess when annoying Annie once again beat him to it. His lips closed around her finger instead, tongue flicking against her flesh and tasting the sugary syrup. Tasting sweeter on Annie than it ever could on the French Toast. Armin’s hunger sparked dangerously and Armin sucked on that finger until he had to stop or he’d lose it right then and there.
Armin pulled back, knowing the waitress was close, his fingers coming up to tug the strings of Annie’s shirt tighter, using his other hand to make the cute knot she had done, his fingers teasingly touching the exposed soft skin. “If you know it, why do things that drive me crazy with need?” Armin bent forward, it was his turn to press soft kisses against her neck, brushing her beautiful strands of golden away, running his lips along the curve of her shoulder. Kissing the spot just under her ear, sighing sweetly, his other hand drifting down to grab and knead at her thighs.
God Annie felt good, smelt good, tasted even better...Armin had to pull back at the nervous clearing of the throat from their waitress. Throwing his arm around the back of Annie’s chair and glancing at his food. Then at Annie. His eyes snagging on her lips before having to focus on behaving.
“Can I get the check? Unless you want dessert?” Once the waitress left again, Armin went back to nuzzling Annie’s neck, his fingers still caressing her thick thighs over the rough fabric.
“I must confess Annie, I can’t stand the idea of you not living with me. Of living with another man-men.” Armin heard his little growl and nibbled at her sensitive spot against her jugular. “I bought a house...” Armin pulled back, eyes serious and full of wanting, “I can’t bring myself to live there alone because I’ve been waiting for you. We can do a bit of sight seeing too today, if you don’t like it, I’ll sell it and we can look for another. Anything for you my love.” Armin’s fingers gently brushed her hair back again, this time cupping the back of her neck softly-knowing it was such a delicate spot for his Annie.
Armin bent forward, pulling her closer so that Armin could whisper into her ear hotly. “I want you all to myself where I can take my time, days and nights full of making it up for you, making you cry and scream my name out like you did that first night. Until you beg me to stop but Kitten I won’t, not until I say so. And then I’ll hold you for days, spoiling you like the Princess you are, until you’re ready for me again.” Armin kissed Annie’s ear, petting her hair and leaning back just enough to let Annie see his eyes. Full of hunger and love and everything in between, just before Armin finally took her lips in a sweet but demanding kiss.

Annie finds herself visibly flinching when he takes her digit into his hot and wet mouth. Her jaw clenches tight but her eyes become dazed as she stares at him, heat rising against the skin of her cheek because he's so openly sexual about what he was doing. She flushes even more when she feels his tongue wrap around her finger and the way he explores it makes her body clench in a way it hasn't done for so long. In a way only Armin can make her feel.
There was definitely no syrup on her finger now, but he continues to explore the flesh he's pulled into his mouth in such a way that Annie suddenly groans out a small protest because he's getting to her in such an unexpected way she's left breathless. He pulls away too soon and Annie realizes her hand lingers in the air a bit awkwardly and she rushes it down to her lap, hiding her fingers between her thighs as he works on fixing her shirt, brushing against her skin too often, and she shivers at this.
Her brain is operating much slower, she realizes, and she feels uncomfortably hot at the way his words sound and how they tickle a deep urge inside of her that she realize couldn't be sated. Had she done what she did to tease him? It wasn't like she would be able to predict the placement of the syrup. But his words left her brain spinning at the possibilities of where she'd like the syrup to drip down to so he could hungrily lap at her in much more intimate places than her finger.
She allows him to kiss her neck, her teeth clenching so tightly she is forced to let out a shaky huff and relax the aching muscles of her jaw. She unconsciously tilts her head to allow him to have a better reach at the area he's working on, her bottom lip curl into her mouth and she nibbles on it, riled up. She hadn't even noticed the waitress and her chest rose unevenly as she inhaled sharply, wondering how he could drive her to mush while staying so alert to his surroundings.
She was about to point this out, letting her swollen bottom lip fall out of their place between her teeth as her mouth opened to work out a teasing response that only died in her throat when he turned his attention back on her.
It wasn't fair, she realized, and she was brought back to their first date and how she'd led him out of the restaurant and into their car so she could try to tame the need she felt for him. A need that was heavily growing once again and only got frustratingly worst when his seductive mouth starting moving and explaining the vulgar things he would do to her. His tone deepening with honey laced lust and Annie's eyes fluttered shut as her mind worked on bringing his words into filthy images that she hadn't even known she was creative enough to conjure and she couldn't stop the loud girlish moan that escaped her mouth.
Her ears rang and instantly, she sat up, hand flying to her mouth in embarrassment. She let out a small squeal and when she noticed Armin aiming his mouth to hers, she slapped her free hand against it, stopping him from invading her so publicly. "Armin!" She snapped, eyes growing sharper now as she panicked. She didn't dare look around in case someone had heard her and so she quickly stood up on shaky legs and rushed over to the elevator, keeping her face down and avoiding eye contact. She made it halfway before she turned around and rushed back to the table to grab her flowers, giving Armin a frown before turning around.
Her arousal was so obvious it wouldn't take a shifter to smell her out for anyone to notice. She was extremely glad she had a padded bra on because her nipples felt painfully sharp under the material and would definitely be showing through her shirt if she hadn't worn something so protective. to her dismay, someone was sitting nearby them and she flushed further. The red of her cheeks extending to the tip of her ears, down her neck, and across her shoulders. She hissed and gave Armin a look once he approached her.
She didn't know why she felt so goddamn frustrated all of a sudden or why her tone was so snappy, but it was. "You're lucky I don't beat you where you stand!" She snapped, avoiding looking at him because he was bound to have some smug look on his face that would sour her mood further. "If you can't stand the idea of me living with those idiots you probably should have poked your head out of the shadows a bit sooner. But regardless, I think the idea of living with you is inviting and of course I'd say yes to that only if you're sure you're ready for such a step."
She paused when people poured out of the opened elevator door, then once the path was cleared, she grabbed Armin's arm and pulled him in, hitting the button for the main floor. "But if I pick up the faintest of smell of those two you had wrapped around your fingers yesterday my answer is an automatic no." The idea of him being with them only made her frown harder. It has been nine months since they had been a thing and Armin is such a man she can't imagine him not being with other people. Despite the thought making her gaze sharpen with anger, the moment the elevator doors closed Annie had already pinned him to the corner, her hands around the collar of his shirt as she leaned up and worked her lips roughly and hotly on his, prying his mouth open with a tight grip before taking what was hers.
She was desperate and by the time the elevator stopped at the main floor, Annie's lips felt hot and swollen, skin flushed and shirt raised just under her bra. Armin had it worse, she noticed. Lips red and glittering with their mixed saliva, red swollen marks of her mouth and teeth dotted across the pale skin of his neck and his hair was a pleasing mess that made Annie's quick need for release feel worth it. With a sigh, she reached to press the shut door button, her free hand pulling him closer before finding one of his hands and shamelessly moving it between her thighs so he could feel the heat that had pooled there through her pants. "Look what you do to me." She practically moaned before freeing his hand from her grip so she could adjust her shirt.
Annie swore she could hear his pants strain against his solid erection and she felt no shame in her sudden but quick assault of his lips. the short elevator ride and harsh make out session being enough to drown most of her imitate need and she let go of the button, allowing the door to open before he had a chance to recover. "You speak such fancy words but we both know that I end up on top by the end of the night baby." She teased, giving him a wink as she practically skipped out of the elevator and rushed to the main entrance to get a breath of fresh air.
Despite her actions, she was starting to feel shy now that the moment was over and Annie covered her face and groaned as she waited for Armin to exit the building and approach her.

Armin fingers coaxed Annie to relax under his touch caressing her lower head and nape, feeling her squirming under him, her pulse thundering against his lips, the soft sounds coming out of those lips absolutely driving Armin insane. His fingers still working up their way against her thighs, cupping and squeezing and kneading, playfully pushing them apart a bit more so Armin could have a nice handful. He missed the feel of her so much and felt starved for Annie, feeling like if Armin didn’t have her soon, he would just die.
Armin chuckled at the slap of her hand over his mouth and the sight of the one on hers as well, stopping him from taking such pretty lips, his eyes greedily satisfied at the look of the deep blush covering Annie’s face now, the glazed hungry look in her sky blue eyes. Even the sharpness sparking there, evidence to the embarrassment Annie was feeling. Only deepening Armin’s manly satisfaction that he could still make Annie react in such a way. Wanting to do it more until she squirmed and begged for him.
Armin raised his eyes innocently, his voice like silk, as he purred out his “What love?” as if Armin hadn’t the slightest clue as to why Annie was so flustered. He adored it and his cock ached with a need to plunge himself deeply into her sweet folds, where Armin would stay for hours, taking his time to enjoy the feel of being inside Annie once again. His chuckles were deep at that blush intensifying, at Annie escaping from him on shaky legs only to come back, frowning cutely at him and grabbing her flowers.
God he was in love with her. Armin stood instantly, the waitress rushing over and handing him his check. Armin’s eyes on Annie’s ass and legs before focusing on the check, paying a generous tip for the vase and because Armin was in such a good mood with the restaurant for bringing them together again, and then snagging a bite of Annie’s French toast, his own completely untouched.
Armin raced after Annie, smiling widely at her annoyed look, the smell of her arousal only making that grin deepened. Armin wanted to hold her from behind but instead stood very closely to her, bending over to stare into her flustered face some more. “I’ve missed you being rough with me too Leonhart.” Armin whispered into her ear again, blowing against her red tipped ears. Wanting to tease her further by sucking on that blushing flesh.
His nose wrinkled at the mention of his failures and Armin huffed against her neck hotly, “I’m ready. More than ready. You’ll see.” He liked that Annie pulled him along, keeping him with her despite her fussy words. Showing Armin that he wouldn’t be going anywhere but with her. Armin followed her as he would forevermore. He would walk through Hell if Annie pulled him along but hoped that their destination this time was to their Home. He would make it so.
“Never Annie, no one knows about it, just me and now you. The way it’s supposed to be.. I’ve still only been with you and you alone.” Armin was quick to reassure her again, seeing the sharp anger that came whenever Annie mentioned the two girls and enjoying it, because Armin liked having Annie jelly over him. But letting the fact hit home for her that Armin had never been with anyone else, he would have told her he couldn’t even have a release but that wasn’t attractive and Armin could see Annie laughing at him and not letting it die down. Some things were better off quiet, though Armin was sure he’d let it slip eventually to further drive home the fact that Armin was miserable without his Annie in his life.
Armin groaned at her rough kiss, bending down to plunge his tongue against hers, his hands greedily rubbing all over her body, against her front and cupping her breasts, squeezing down and running his hands lower clutching at her sides, fingers slipping under the shirt to caress at her bare skin. Satisfying purrs growling out of his throat as the taste of Annie’s lips became reacquainted with Armin’s sensory once more.
“Annie...oh Annie...” Armin moaned at the feel of her bites and sucks against his throat, the feel of her desperate tugs in his hair, his own fingers squeezing her little ass, which really wasn’t so little at all. Armin could feel himself spilling just a little and when Annie dragged one of his hands between her thighs, Armin’s fingers greedily pressing upwards and circling against that sensitive nub, swearing roughly at the feel of her wetness. Taking her lips back roughly and urgently, wondering if it would be such a bad idea to have her in this tiny elevator. His eyes darted annoyingly to the small camera on the corner, almost invisible, and huffed with irritation because it would be a bad idea. Armin wouldn’t be giving anyone a show of what was his.
Armin rubbed at his lips, smirking at Annie’s comment and thinking of her on top, knowing that Armin absolutely loved it but also knew that he wouldn’t be able to let her do such things for a very long time. Armin bent down, picking up the vase with the blooming happy blue flowers and laughing as he finally caught up to Annie and circled a arm around Annie’s back, tugging her into the curve of his side and kissing her temple as Armin moved them down the sidewalk to where he had parked.
Armin had to let Annie go to grab his keys, holding open the door for her once he did so, bending over to place the flowers between her legs, his hand sliding up from her ankles slowly up her calves, squeezing at her knee and then rubbing at her slightly open thighs. Bending to kiss her cheek, his lips brushing up to her ear. His voice low and full of wanting. “You’ll be just where I want you Kitten for however long I want you there.” Armin winked as he pulled back, gave her delicious thigh another squeeze before closing her door, coming to the drivers seat and entering quickly, turning the engine on and putting the windows down, because the air was nice and cool and despite Armin’s need for her, didn’t want to drown them in both their needy scents-wanting to show Annie that it was more than just sex for Armin. It was everything. He wouldn’t ruin it by thinking with the wrong head even though after nine long months Armin was dying to keep touching Annie.
“So the fair?” Armin reached over, dragging her hand and placing it on his lap, interlacing his fingers on top of hers and only letting go when it was necessary. Armin was driving to the fair grounds, his eyes dragging back to Annie whenever he could. His fingers caressing hers the whole trip.

Annie chuckled when he pulled her to his side. Despite the obvious eyerolling show of public affection, she wrapped an arm around him too, grinning happily. Her phone had started vibrating in her back pocket and she ignored it, gasping when she saw the flowers in his hand. "Ah! Thanks, I didn't mean to forget them!" She exclaimed happily, a light blush on her face because she had just been so occupied with other things to forget her gift.
Being back with Armin felt so nice and purely natural she didn't care if she was turning into one of those sappy couples who would walk up and down the streets basically glued to each other by the mouth. She finally understood how nothing else mattered when you had someone next to you who meant so much, too much, and the need to be pressed against them was never ending. Annie rolled her eyes once she got into the car, shivering at his words and actions. "Promises, Promises." She teased, but the blush on her face was enough evidence that she wanted everything he was offering and more.
Annie straightened up, grinning over at him when he got into the car and rolled down the window. "Wait- we're still going to the fair?" She couldn't hide her surprise or the pleasure behind her words. This was nice. Different than any other time they've been in a car while intoxicated with need for each other. She was genuinely smiling now, while looking down at the flowers on her lap as her eyes watered again.
She let out a groan and looked over at him. "I've never been..." She confessed sniffling at her sudden emotions, "Are you sure it's okay? Like, I know what you said about Marley... But, are we free now? Can we actually indulge in these things?" She paused and laughed, giving his hand a light squeeze. "Sorry baby, just ignore that. I'm just... Still trying to wrap my head around what this really means but moving on to better things- When are we moving in together?"

Armin’s face was set in a permanent smile with Annie by his side now. He hadn’t smiled like this in ages, not being able to with the deep hurt he had been holding on to for the last few months, with the hole in him that was now on the fast track to mending itself. Now that Annie was in his life again. Armin hummed with pleasure, loving the feel of her arm wrapped around him, nuzzling closer to her despite his knowledge of her dislike of public affection. He’d make the matter grow on her, thinking of all the public situations that Armin would like do with her. Both naughty and nice ones.
“It’s okay, that’s why you have me Annie. I always have your back.” Armin was referring to the flowers at this moment but it was such a true statement for everything else too. Armin would always have Annie’s back, be there to help her with anything she needed. Do the things that she forgot to, as Annie did countless times with him. Look out for her, for her needs and desires, guilty pleasures and silly wants. Anything. Everything. Armin wanted to be her partner, knew he wouldn’t be perfect all the time but has come to find that perfection is rooted in imperfection, and while being away from her, could only see their time together-all of it-was really perfection in his eyes. Since it was the two of them.
“Promises indeed babe.” Armin teased, coming into the car with her, his lips stretched into a lazy grin at her surprise. “Of course we are, I’ve been wanting to see what the big fuss was about and well I was just waiting for the perfect partner to go with.” Armin paused, watching her face for a moment and reaching over with his other hand, cupping her trembling chin and tilting her face towards him so that Annie could stare into his eyes.
“We’re safe love. Free.” Armin let his words sink in, until he saw the pretty emotion filter in her gaze. “I’ve been watching for any activity these last three months just in case I missed something but no. It’s done. You’re looking at the only man who can ever start it up again, rise it back from the dead, and you know I never will. I won’t allow it to ever rise back.” Armin rubbed his thumb against her chin, wanting to kiss her again but with a small smile, restrained himself. There would be time for that later.
Armin pulled back, patting her hand that was still on his lap, grinning now. Facing the road, getting out, and chuckling softly to himself. His eyes darting playfully back towards hers. “Would today be too soon? We could pick your stuff up tomorrow and mine from the apartment, bring it to the house for now and if you don’t like the house, we can go house hunting together and move again when we’re ready.” Armin bit on his lower lip, still smiling as he did it, his eyes sparking with the excitement of sleeping with Annie again. Of holding her in his arms as the night envelope them. Knowing he’d truly sleep at peace again with Annie.
It wasn’t long before Armin was parking alongside a row of others, it was still early and yet the park was already quickly filling up. He left the windows open a fraction on all sides so that Annie’s flowers wouldn’t wilt from the heat and cut off the engine. Taking a moment to enjoy the sight of Annie by his side. Happiness spreading all through Armin.

Annie smiled brightly at him, giving a couple of nods before biting back her tears. She was always so sensitive around Armin for some reason, but so cruel and rough with everyone else. It was like he drew out parts of her that no one else could, not even Annie herself. With as smile, she worked on tucking her flowers behind his seat, keeping them out of the sun and making sure they wouldn't topple over and spill out.
Once satisfied, she allowed Armin to open the door for her as she got out. With a groan, she pulled out her vibrating phone to check who had been constantly bothering her throughout the trip. The duo had left her roughly fifteen messages in the group chat Reiner had forced her to join and with an apologetic look towards Armin, she busied herself with a short reply telling them that she was with Armin.
The return messages made her phone vibrate unnecessarily and she quickly glanced them over and sighed. "They're so unbelievable." She muttered as Reiner began insulting Armin and Bertholdt began asking for her location so they knew she was safe. 'Where was that son of a bitch when you almost ran back to Marley months ago to become livestock? He doesn't deserve just to crawl back into your life and be accepted like this, regardless of the reasoning! Your nose should be big enough to sniff out this bullshit Ann Everyone see's it but you.' The message was from Reiner and the lack of Bertholdt's reply was enough to know that they agreed on what had been said to her.
"He was destroying Marley. I'm also moving out." She replied simply before turning towards Armin with a smile that masked her annoyance at the insults. Annie had no doubts and not even their harsh words would make her not want to move forward. "Hold still?" She asked, pulling up the camera app so she could quickly snap a picture of Armin before pressing the power button to her phone and tucking it into the glove box of his car, closing the door once she was done.
"I'm sure whatever house you picked is more than amazing, Armin, you have a great eye for things like that and I can't wait to see our new home." She said with a smile, bumping into him playfully as she passed him, moving towards the obvious direction of the fair. "Can't wait to move in with you today. I don't have much things, just a suitcase of outdated clothes but I guess if I'm going to be coming into your life again I need to try to dress up better so people don't try getting at you like they did back in Paradis."
She held out her hand, waiting for Armin to take it before she excitedly pulled them through the fairgrounds, eyes darting about as she took in all the rides and stands. She let out a nervous laugh, having never been on a ride before and turned to him while they waited in line at a ticket booth. "Is this even safe?" She cleared her throat, nervous. "I mean it would suck to survive all we have survived just to die in the hands of some oversized faulty human made equipment?"
Annie realized, with a nervous twirl of her stomach, that she was horrified at the idea of riding such thrilling rides.

Every additional minute of being with Annie sank Armin with positive emotions and the ever increasing need to make up for all the time they’ve lost. To prove that every word Armin was saying, was true. To lay her doubts to rest, especially about Marley, and whether not they could last. Because they would. Definitely this time. Armin eased out of the driver’s seat, taking his time getting to Annie’s side again and opening her door, watching her bend over and fuss with the flowers to ensure their safety. His eyes glinting with adoration and love at such a simple gesture.
Armin hummed, frowning just slightly at her continuous vibrating phone, having been ignoring it this whole time, trying to not think who it would be. Even though, it wasn’t that hard to guess. Especially at her apologetic expression. Armin might have peek a look over her shoulder, catching a few words and sentences before rolling his gaze and huffing with playful extravagance at Annie’s comment about how how unbelievable they were. Armin could have told her that from the beginning. Waiting patiently, watching Annie’s face as she typed out her reply.
When she pointed her phone at him and told him to hold still, Armin gave Annie one of her favorite looks but with a smooth smile etched against his lips. Armin grinned broaden at seeing her turning the phone off and keeping it in the car, locking the door once she closed it and staying close to Annie’s side.
“Well it has a pool so...” Armin chuckled, unable to pass that up. He had become hook to the feel of Annie against him with water floating all around them. Wanted to redo that night with her countless times again in their new pool. Armin grabbed her hand, sliding his fingers between hers after catching up, playfully nudging his shoulder into hers back. “You don’t need to dress up too much now, otherwise I’ll have to be fighting with every guy who stares. It’s hard enough as it is.” Armin grumbled, letting Annie drag him forward, his eyes catching the gold in her hair and the generous sway of her ass.
Armin groaned, hurrying his stride, holding her hand firmer since he finally could, and grinning at the nervousness in her voice. Even as his chest pumped out a little, the urge to protect her in case anything happened already ready. But his voice was amused as he teased her: “Have you grown soft on me Annie?” Armin let go of her hand, taking it with his left and curled himself around her from behind, taking Annie’s right hand in his own and nuzzling his face into the crook of her shoulder, kissing her delicate neck.
“You’ll be fine sweetheart, you’re not as fragile as you fear. Plus you have me, I’ll make a spectacle of myself before allowing you to fall off from one of those things.” Armin eyes drifted towards the large metal rides and watched as one zoomed downwards, screams coming from all sides of the park. Armin couldn’t help his chuckle, wondering if Annie would scream or even if he would.
Armin moved forward, still hugging Annie from behind until it was their turn. Armin let her go, switched hands again and pulled her along, making sure that he paid for the tickets and took the two wristbands the man offered him. Armin pulled Annie further along, stopping before the checkpoint and putting her wristband on for her and allowing Annie to do the same for him.
“It looks fairly safe, nice security and I don’t see no rides collapsing which is always a good sign. But yes, it would be a bit ironic if we went down from something like this.” Armin rolled his eyes, still not believing that they would, things like this wouldn’t exist if such things happened. There might be rare occasions of some tragedies happening but Annie and Armin were no longer human, at least not completely. “We should be fine.” Armin smiled with reassurance, “Come on scaredy cat.” He teased and finally continued on his way towards the checkpoint, waiting for a few moments and putting his few things down to get processed, entering the metal detector and then putting his stuff back into his pockets, his eyes set on Annie as she did the same process until they were both clear.
Armin took Annie’s hand once more, rubbing his thumb against her skin to further relax her, and staring at the field before him, food and rides and exhibits and many more hidden from his view. Suddenly Armin could feel his childish excitement popping into life at experiencing a theme park with Annie by his side. It was something they had talked about as children and Armin had forgotten till this very moment, seeing the grand new adventure right before his very eyes. Armin’s eyes found Annie’s again and with a carefree laugh, he pulled Annie into their next adventure.

Annie was still a little annoyed at the words Reiner had texted her, but as Armin swayed and held her from behind, she found herself laughing. "I missed this so damn much." She mumbled, leaning her head back so she could place a kiss against his jaw. "You talk about this as if I'm someone worth gawking at." She lifted a foot so she could slam it down on one of his white shoes, feeling slightly bad at her action, but smirking regardless.
"I'm not the prettiest, you're just blindly flattering me so stop before I ruin your other shoe." She teased, still leaning on him while trying to trip him as they moved up in line. "As for the pool. I like swi-" She paused, face flushing as she pinched his hand. "-You-You fucking pervert!" It took her a second too long to realize why he even brought up the pool but she knew he had implied the sexual innuendo in such a way on purpose. Armin was always so fancy with his words, Annie often tripped up on what he said.
She let out a smile when it was their turn, wanting to pay but allowing Armin to take the lead. It was his idea, she'd make it up to him some other way. Instead, she moved happily along with him. "I'm pretty damn sure I can still kick your ass, Arlert. So, no, I've not gone soft and I'd rather turn into a Titan and save myself than fall into your arms like some damsel in distress, don't humor yourself." Annie was always prideful in her own ability to survive. But she'd be a fool if she tried to convince herself that she hadn't, on occasion, come across as weaker just so that Armin could snuggle her.
She liked the attention.
Eventually the nervousness settled into a dull ache of excitement that started growing with each passing second. "You're calling me a scaredy cat? Armin do you want me to rip your tongue out? you've definitely grown bolder in these last months." Despite her snappy words, she was only teasing him while hiding her fear. "Remember that one time, in New Dawn, while we had a training exercise and you thought you kept hearing things-" She had to pause to laugh, "-but it was only a branch snapping off of a tree and you almost pissed yourself when it hit the ground?"
They moved along the food vendors and the games and the lights. She inhaled the smell and the sounds and turned excitedly towards him. "I want some later." She grinned, because everything smelled so good but she didn't want to eat before going on a ride.
They passed by the first set of rides. One that was low to the ground but yells of fear erupted from the passengers as they wiped and turned and dipped roughly. Then, to her left was a pink ride with teacups in it, disney music playing loudly. "What do you say Armin? Think you can handle the teacups? Or would that be too much to ask?" Oh, she was most definitely the scared one. Why people even chose to get on rides because of the obvious fear factor was something beyond her.

“Did you?” Armin asked playfully, loving the sound of Annie missing him almost as much as he had missed her. Armin groaned at the stomping, not because it hurt which it did only a little but because Armin liked to exaggerate things with Annie. Teasingly frowning at her and shaking her side to side a little in a playful banter from behind, “Shush you’re definitely worth checking out, you’ve been spending too much time with Tweedledee and Tweedledum.”
Armin chuckled at her threatening his other foot and for a few seconds indulged in their little foot war, feeling more playful than he had in months. “Oww!” Armin hissed in her ear at the pinch, grinning at Annie at the same time because he was very much a pervert when it came to her. “You’re the prettiest thing in my eyes, Annie.” Armin admitted afterwards happily, wanting Annie to feel more confident about her looks because she really was a beautiful woman. Her unique features only adding to her beauty and charm.
“Fine fine, you shift and I’ll be the damsel in distress.” Armin winked at her, and then broke out into another round of laughter. His chest feeling full. Squeezing her hand as they walked. “And you can definitely still kick my ass, I never did quite win with you.” Armin rolled his eyes, not that he wanted to win against any fight with Annie and really didn’t want to try and find out if he could. Then again...a few sparring sessions-wrestling ones would be even better. Armin might not be able to breathe but Annie’s legs and arms wrapped around him would be worth it.
“I’m pretty sure you’d get bored of me if I didn’t have my fancy words, my prettiness can only last so long.” Armin didn’t know if he had grown bolder over the last couple months or if he was just letting out months of pent up words that Armin only liked saying with Annie. She made him feel playful, made Armin want to reply back in smart comments that would make her laugh or roll her eyes. Armin missed this, this banter between them, feeling like he was sliding right back in place, right where he belonged.
Armin frowned at the memory, knowing exactly what moment Annie was remembering, scratching his head embarrassedly but grinning. “Hey, hey, that one doesn’t count. It was groaning and creaking in ways that a tree shouldn’t be allowed to.” Armin laughed, shaking his head at himself and how much of a scaredy-cat he had been himself. “And the impact? It sounded like a grown ass monster thudding on the floor. Definitely not how a ten foot branch should sound like.” He rolled his eyes, tugging Annie closer to him, his eyes darting around them, looking at all the new stuff he had only read about in books.
“Elephant ears?” Armin raised a brow, passing the stall, and seeing powered sugar being sprinkled on a big thing of sorts. “It’s not really...I doubt it.” Armin scoffed, but the smell was addicting and Armin definitely would have to come back and try them all out. “Definitely.” Armin agreed, feeling his appetite for food slowly activating from all the different smells. Even though his main hunger was still for Annie.
His eyes drifted from the two rides, pulling Annie towards the pink teacups with a roll of his eyes. “I think I can handle it, I’m big and strong now yeah? Plus it’s just spinning around...” Armin stared at the twirling cups, one in particular was going so fast that it managed to make Armin feel slightly dizzy just by watching for too long. “I hope.” Armin laughed, turning back to Annie since there was a little line mostly of kids and their parents, a few other couples, and them.
Armin brought their joined hands to his lips again, kissing her wrist briefly, smiling down at her. “Thank you Annie for giving us a second shot. I’m really happy we’re together right now. More than you know.”

Annie blushed lightly, nudging him with her shoulder before leaning up to give his cheek a quick kiss. "I can say the same thing. Thank you for coming out of the shadows and talking to me despite my condition at the time. Thank you for giving us another chance and not just seeing me with Tweedle-dee and Tweedledum and thinking the worst. There's so many times you could have just ran away and I wouldn't know better. So thank you for watching over me and making sure I was safe... Not just then, but in the future too... What you must have gone through in Marley...I.." She shook her head, pressing her side against him.
It didn't take long for the ride to stop and it's previous occupants to vacate, leaving them able to move forward and find a seat in the overly colored metal teacups. "By the way, I'm totally calling them by those names from now on, it's very fitting." She knew talking about Reiner and Bertholdt was something that would sour his mood, just the same if he talked about the two stupid horny girls she'd seen him with the previous night. So she ended the conversation there and urged him to find them a seat.
Once he did, the ride started up shortly and Annie laughed at how ridiculous Armin looked in the pink teacup with the backdrop and the music. "you should see your face right now, I honestly only mentioned this ride to see if you'd actually go through with it." She kicked his leg softly, "you're a doll, I wish I had my phone on me."
Glancing around, Annie realized that in order to spin the cup, she had to maneuver the valve in the middle of the cup. Shortly after her realization, she leaned forward and did just that. With a grin, things easily got out of hand and she kept spinning it until it was the fastest spinning teacup in the ride. the momentum of the cup verses the momentum of the platform spinning made her dizzy and she tried focusing on how tortured Armin looked instead, maintaining the speed just for the hell of it.
By the end of the ride, Annie felt sick, but there was still such a childish smile on her face and an excitement that made her eyes shine in wonder as she stood up and almost toppled over. "Congratulations Armin, you survived." She was teasing him, but more proud of herself for giving this a chance and not choosing to just walk around and watch other people on the rides as she had originally thought of doing.
After a couple of more rides, chosen mainly by her on impulse, it was clear that Annie was a thrill seeker and she was a damn child about it too.
the first ride after the teacups, she felt stressed and nervous about. It had a lot of people screaming and Annie made a note to not give any reactions and instead, held tightly onto Armin's hand. At one point the ride took an unexpected dip and Annie let out a loud yelp. But once the ride was over, they teased each other and taunted and soon quickly moved to more daring rides based on simple banters of 'I bet you won't's' and 'I bet your wolf would run with it's tail between it's legs, you're all such cowards'.
Annie was obviously being more taunting, but Armin never really backed down or questioned her growing excitement. She liked that. How she could be wholeheartedly herself even if she was tapping into dormant parts of who she was, enjoying the child she never got to be, even at an older age. Her yelps turned into laughs and her laughs turned into screams and soon after Annie wasn't really holding her reaction back anymore.
By the time they got out of the last ride, Annie had to retie her hair up, turning around to Armin. "That sound you just made in there? You're totally never living it down." she laughed at him, kicking him lightly again. Her face felt flushed in excitement and Armin in all of his glory, looked so beautiful to her right now she wanted gawked at him for a minute before regaining control of her features. "I don't want to ever be without you Arlert and it's your turn to pick now."

Armin was having a blast, from Annie’s enjoyment of his newest nicknames for her boys, to her overly eager swirling of the teacups to which Armin had to grip on to the edge of his seat, holding on for dear life laughingly begging Annie to stop. Knowing if he had eaten, surely he would have thrown up a little. Thankful that he hadn’t at such thoughts. To all of Annie’s teasing comments, her smiles and laughter, the way she grabbed on to him during their first roller coaster and Armin was holding onto her hand as much as she was holding onto his. To the way his stomach dropped with every turn and fall, and after about the third roller coaster ride Armin had pretty much figured out he wasn’t too crazy about being upside down.
To waiting in line, amusing himself with pressing himself against Annie, squeezing her hands, her hips, kissing the curve of her neck up to her ear, laughing when Annie either slapped him, pinched him, or tried stepping on his shoes again, all while blushing prettily which only urged Armin to keep messing with her. To Annie’s sweet words, the worry in her eyes as she feared for his time in Marley, the way Annie would touch him after too long of no contact, how she grabbed his hand after every ride, chuckling as she pulled him out of there, her growing excitement...all of it was absolutely perfect in Armin’s eyes, today was beginning to look like his favorite day in a very long time.
Armin could see her staring at him now, her words making his own face blushing, and Armin petted his hair back into place, since after that last twists of turns of a ride he knew it was probably looking crazy. “Stop you’re making me blush.” Armin teased, stroking her hand and pulling her forward, his mind mushed with the pure happiness he was feeling.
“I don’t ever want to be away from you ever again Leonhart.” Armin squeezed her hand and stopped in front one of the games, it was a shooting one and Armin paid for two, the man working giving them both a pair. Armin took his toy gun and was surprised at how not light it was, it wasn’t extremely heavy as a real one, but moderate enough.
“See anything you like?” Armin glanced at the toys, a variety of plushies and a few other kid-like stuff. Since the gun was shaped as a rifle, Armin pressed it against his shoulder and stared at the variety, wondering which toy he should attempt to shoot off the rack. It took Armin a while to decide, still waiting for Annie’s input, his eyes dragging towards the cute little blue kitty cat on the top right. Armin supposed it was as good as any and shot his three toy bullets in quick procession after the other, shooting the toy in its head, neck and center and waiting with a smirk as it toppled backwards.
Armin waited for Annie to shoot hers, biting his lip at her choice, and once they were done and had their toys, Armin was grinning, shaking his head and urging Annie to follow him all the way to the Ferris Wheel. “Let’s take a break from all those twists and turns.” Armin’s voice sounded a bit like a whine because really those things did a number for him and also, Armin just wanted a minute alone with his Annie.
After a while of waiting, Armin and Annie were being escorted into one of the carriages, and Armin put down their toys next to their seats, helping the man close the door, making sure it was secured before turning back to look at Annie. He stretched his legs, his fingers reaching out to rub at her knees. His eyes still sparking with excitement. “Having fun love?”
Now that they had a moment alone, Armin could feel his hunger spiking for Annie again and squeezed his hands up her legs, rubbing his thumbs into the juicy flesh of her thighs. “I’m sorry I took so long to come out of the shadows as you say, truth be told Annie, I kept running away because well...you seemed so happy. But now I can see that I was wrong and I should have come to you sooner...but I’m here now and I won’t ever leave from your side ever again. You can count on it love.”

Annie would be lying to herself if she tried to pretend that Armin's constant touching and kissing wasn't feeding into her earlier wave of lust. It settled heavily in her center and with the rush she got after every ride, Annie had to curl her toes in her shoes every so often. She liked the fast pace of the rides and liked even more how Armin reacted after every exit. The change of pace was thrilling and Annie enjoyed the rest it allowed her little heart to take.
Annie chose a red chibi looking wolf with three tails. It took her longer to knock the thing down than it took Armin and once he got his, she frowned at him and pouted. The man behind the stand tried giving her pointers but it sounded kind of arrogant and condescending. Annie grinned, knocking the wolf down in one shot and planting the remaining couple of shots in his side, making him Yelp. "Aw shit, I'm so sorry silly me not knowing what I'm doing!!" She threw her hands in the air and grabbed the small wolf, walking away from the man before stopping and turning to Armin.
She wiggled it out for him in the air. "Here's a gift for you," she said, holding the plush up to examine it and Armin's face. "The color matches your whole face right now."
She pressed against Armin, before deciding to move to the opposite end of the Faris wheel, the movement of the cart was alarming and she let out a small Yelp when it started moving, bringing the next cart down so more people could load into the ride. "I'm honestly having more fun than i thought was possible. Thank you for bringing me out here boo thang. Honestly thank you for everything."
"Honestly, i just wanted to live a life that i felt would make you happy. It's why it took me so long to even consider turning myself to Marley. You know... You know that's the first thing I would have done. I didn't know how to do anything for myself and Marley was my home and when I left you in Paradis... It was the only thing that felt right. But i knew it wasn't what you wanted and so if i tried to go and something happened to me it would hurt you even if our relationship had ended."
Annie paused and sighed. "Everything i did was just... To give you what you said you wanted of me. To be happy so i worked on making that happen. It's a coincidence that i met those two and they made it easier but i belong with you Armin and i feel like I'd just live on pretending when I'm not by your side. But when I'm here with you... Everything just clicks and it's... It's freeing. You do so much more than you think and you mean so much more than you give yourself credit for, I'm honestly blessed." With a chuckle Annie turned to him, sliding into his lap while wrapping her arms around his neck. "I must have been such a good girl in my last life " she sighed against his lips before pulling him in for a kiss.

Armin hummed happily, his fingers curling over her back, thumbs teasingly slipping under her shirt, touching her warm soft skin, his lips pressed against hers, softly at first, wanting to feel Annie’s delicate lips, pressing multiple kisses, shifting his head slightly to get every inch of her mouth, before sighing and slipping out his tongue, running it fast across her lips, tasting before doing it again slowly. Their kiss deepening, Armin’s arms flexing over Annie’s body, in the corner of his eyes the two plushies were sitting side by side, the contrast of the blue and red seemed startling but seeing them together felt right.
As right as Annie felt in Armin’s arms. Armin groaned in the back of his throat, closing his eyes and tasting Annie further. His tongue snaked into her mouth, meeting hers and rubbing against her, enjoying himself fully because damn it had been too long. His hands begun to get desperate, grabbing at Annie’s back, rubbing and clenching her sides, wanting to touch her more, his hands sliding down at that thought, sounds of pleasure escaping his throat and getting muffled by Annie’s delicious lips, his cock had been jolted into life again, straining against his jeans and wanting to get as close to Annie as Armin could.
Armin forced his hands up before they reached Annie’s ass, sliding them up to gently grab Annie’s shoulders and pull her off of him just a bit. Pressing Armin’s forehead against Annie’s and dragging in a breath, letting it escape as a chuckle, his hands now massaging into the curves of her neck.
“In your last life? Nah Annie, you’re such a good girl right now.” Armin licked his lips, tasting Annie on them and grinning at her, his eyes bright blue with only shadows of his Titans colors staring into her beautiful rays of blue. Armin nuzzled his nose against her own, pulling away to kiss that pretty nose, his lips pressing gentle kisses against her cheeks, her temple, down her cheeks again, curving along her jaw, her chin, cocking his head to plant more against her throat, sighing with pleasure until his lips brushed against her own again.
“I’m happy you stayed away Annie, that you tried living a life. A normal one, it gave you a chance to learn new things to see the world in a different light, to not be in any kinds of organizations, not Marley or New Dawn, just yourself. It gave me time to step into your life, into Marley’s. I know it wasn’t exactly the same but I feel closer to you either way. I think I wouldn’t have been able to do it if you came back. Not that I’m saying you’d stop me or not help me, I just think my drive of destroying it would be battling my drive to win you back.” Armin gave Annie a half smile, slipping his hands up and down against her arms, loving the feel of her soft skin.
“I...also didn’t want you to see what I was doing. It’s better when you just see me as myself, not something I have to become to get the job done.” Armin pressed another soft kiss to her lips. Leaning back against the glass, they were still very close to the ground, and Armin took a second to stare at the fantastic amusement park, at the rides they’ve already ridden at the food stalls they still had to hit, thinking of their already perfect date.
Armin turned his eyes back to hers, “I love you Annie, such a simple saying isn’t even enough to describe my devotion to you. No one is you. No one can be you. You’re Annie Leonhart and I’m Armin Arlert. We were meant for each other. Meant to be together. No matter how different we are on some levels, how alike we are on others, which worlds we’ve come from, it’s you and I baby, us against the world if we need to be, I love you Annie Leonhart. I vow myself to you, to never stop loving you and fighting for you, to never stop holding this hand...” his fingers had drifted down instead of up, lifting her fingers up and sliding his in between, tightening his hold on her.
“I love you. I’ll never let you forget it. Thank you so much babygirl, for this magical day and for staying with me. I never want to part from you again, that was intense..” Armin laughed and tugged her closer against his chest, his free hand sliding down her back again, Armin’s lips finding the sweet spot by her neck. He licked at it and playfully nibbled as well, sighing against her skin and turning so his head would rest on her shoulder while staring at her face.
“Some speech I know.” Armin teased, eyes brightening, as he lovingly stared up into Annie’s eyes. As he would for forevermore.

Annie allowed him to do as he pleased, at first. She could feel something growing and bubbling in the way he kissed her and she wanted to let him explore her in the way he wanted to explore her. She was conscious of the way her lips moved against his, opening them, sliding her tongue out, giving him what he was looking for. after a couple of seconds, her mind shut off and she started moving against him, the way he needed her, all on her own.
There was a gentleness to it all. To who Armin was. Something so gentle but so strong and solid. Something that drove her crazy in the deepest parts of her mind. She remembered the Armin she met at New Dawn. The Armin that was so underwhelming. The Armin that hadn't grown because he was always doubting himself but despite it all, she'd always seen the danger behind the intelligence. Where others mocked him, Annie found him silently threatening. Armin had been her biggest enemy, the one she knew she had to watch out for despite all his faults.
Now he was her biggest love.
The lines seemed extremely blurred and she supposed she gave into Armin Arlert without much of a fight. the fight always came from things she had no control over but once Armin had touched her, Annie had been all his from the beginning. Even though she'd feared him all the same. For being himself and so proud and so sure. all the things Annie never could be on her own. All the things she's always felt jealousy about. Armin Arlert was as different to her as they came but Annie always gave herself up when he came asking. She knew she always would.
the fact he'd seen through all her facades, even back then, and still thought of her as a good person was beyond even her to try to figure out. She wasn't a good girl. Just when it came to Armin, to pleasing him, she supposed. But she'd never been good and would probably never be good and she knew that's what they'll struggle with the most after this because despite having tried and tried to become an actual person, she had just played at the role, not really becoming it.
But Armin made her want to be a good girl.
just for him.
she'd rather kill herself than admit to something so cheesy but it was a truth she couldn't keep from herself. With a blush, she shifted off of his lap and to the seat next to him, the wheel rose and they where stuck at the very top, the view was breathtaking. When he laughed, she looked over and laughed as well. "I'm glad you're the one that said it. I didn't want to crush your little heart."
she allowed herself to fall silent for a bit, realizing he'd said so much, too much, for her to not say anything in response. for once, she felt like Armin was wrong, but she wasn't willing to correct him. She had two months by herself and she hadn't done shit, just let the new world around her crush her. The only reason he saw her as thriving was because she clung on to two idiots and filled a role that was expected of her. She wasn't so sure she'd be able to please Armin if he'd shown up while she was still on her own.
The ride started moving then, finally taking full spins and Annie was lost in the feeling of it all and the sights. She took a couple of more minutes to speak again, her heart not feeling as heavy as it had. "Regardless of what you had to become, I don't think I'll ever see you as anything less than the person I know you are." she said lightly, turning to him with a smile. "Not going to lie, for a second there I thought you would be asking me to marry you."

Armin stretched his arm over the back of their seat, his fingers brushing lightly against Annie’s shoulder still trying to feel her warmth since he missed it entirely now that Annie was no longer on his lap. Armin smiled at her teasings and took the few silent moments to stare out the window, the beauty of their world all there for them to feast their eyes on. Armin never noticed it as much as he did when Armin was next to Annie, the world seemed colder and dimmer, grayer even. On some days, the sky would be so blue and breathtakingly beautiful, out of reach and untouchable just like Annie was during those months.
Now, Annie was pressed against his side, looking at the same scenery as Armin was and it never looked so good. Armin glanced down at her at her voice, staring at her face and feeling the quick shame of her words slice within him. Armin quickly hid it with a smile, curling his body slightly to face her more.
“Last time I asked you that, you ran off. I don’t think that’ll be too safe at this very moment.” Armin reached over, touching the strands of her golden hair that had escaped its bun. Armin smoothed the strand over his forefinger, twirling it while watching Annie‘s eyes.
“Maybe the intent is there.” Armin loosened his hold on her strand, flicking his gaze to watch it bounce away before curling his finger over it again. “I don’t want to scare you off Annie by pushing too much...” Armin tucked the piece behind her ear and pulled back, leaning his palm against her knee and rubbing his fingers all across.
“So enough of the mushiness-for now. Is there anything else you want to know? Any demands or rules we should play by? I have a couple, I’m here for you for anything and everything. If you have a problem with something I do, don’t be shy and tell me. Not that you’re that shy but I feel like we don’t communicate the way we’re supposed to. That’s partly my bad as well, I’ve been working on it. Maybe that’s why you think me bold.” Armin chuckled, glancing past her face at the vast expanse of blue skies. Seeing Annie, feeling her warmth, those blue skies so near and so vibrant with colors...Armin was whole.
“I want our bond again, your mark...” Armin paused to touch his own neck, where his skin was smooth and glanced over at hers, not seeing his mark against her pretty neck. “Is that too soon for you?”
