Annie laughed at some of the things she saw and felt through the bond. While she shed tears because of other memories and feelings. She continued to feed Armin her side of the story here and there. How despite her growing relationship with Reiner and Bertholdt, she always longed for him. How they only slept in her bed because Annie couldn't handle being alone at night. Their time in Paradis was limited, but it changed Annie. She longed for a connection. She longed for company because she finally knew exactly how being alone felt. Sure, she's been alone her whole life, but without knowing what love and company felt like, Annie didn't know any better. But After Paradis, Annie had been consumed by loneliness and night terrors and she couldn't sleep alone. She was terrified.
Her friendship with Reiner and Bertholdt was centered around the lie that she was a wolf shifter. She showed him just how deep their hatred for Titan's and Marley ran. She showed Armin nights of Reiner drinking and losing himself to anger because of what Marley had taken away from him for Titan's like Annie. She showed him how terrifying the boys got when it came to this hatred and how scared she'd been that one day she'd open her eyes and they would know. She let out a soft shaky breath, her mind running over her fears of them finding out and coming for her or Armin, or even her child. She couldn't protect anyone while she was pregnant-
Annie laughed softly and bit her tongue. Keeping those fears at bay if only to coax him to continue.
When he did, she ended up shaking. Not expecting Armin to show this side of him, not expecting his darker thoughts to mix in. But welcoming it nonetheless. "Armin, I will never leave this house if you don't want me too." Annie said with a laugh, pausing long enough to bite at his neck playfully. Sucking to leave a mark. She showed him how these thoughts didn't bother her at all. "Sometimes I need time by myself but it isn't to get away from you. It's to just..." With a sigh, she showed him how emotionally overwhelming being cared for and loved felt to her. How these basic things could make her panic and feel defensive. How she's never known this type of feeling and behavior until him and how she welcomed it, regardless. Annie just needed some 'me time' to center herself. She's always been alone, sometimes she needs to be alone to feel normal because she's scared this will be taken away from her when she least expects it. Even though she knows it's not true.
"I don't need anyone other than you and your... Titans?" she added with a laugh. She was blushing and embarrassed and she was sure he could feel it. She's always wanted to reach out to his titans. But she was scared he would feel some type of way about it. Annie knew that of she still had her titan, she would be angered at Armin showing her any affection. Then again, they had never bonded the way Armin had with his. She wanted to please his beast in ways he'd only ever imagined and she wanted to keep the wolf proud of her, as to not feel that Armin needed someone more capable of being his mate. She wanted to get stronger and smarter for Armin. So she could fight the battles for him. So he would never have to hurt anyone again. She didn't just want to hide. She wanted Armin to show her off as his weapon, as his mate, as his wife, and as anything else he needed from her. She wanted to be everything to him. Until no part of who he was would be left untouched and unpleased. Absentmindedly, she showed him how she wished to be able to talk to his wolf. To ask questions and hopefully get some answers that would make this pregnancy a bit less scary.
Now Armin knew that as well.
"You've already lived up to everything. You're far more than anything, Armin." She let out another soft laugh. "I honestly didn't think you paid attention to the sugar glider thing." She moved away so she could look down at his face. "You are overwhelming and that's okay because I honestly wouldn't want it any other way. But, um, you're hot in more ways than one so I guess I could use a bath? But I don't want you out of me yet... So I hope a sweaty lobster looking Annie isn't a turn off?" She grinned and looked down at her arms. While he was cooling off plenty, her skin still glowed red and pink.
