*^^*^^*^^*^^*^^*

This wasn't just a simple outing- this was an operation. So much planning had gone towards this moment; every person was placed strategically around the building. Eren listened in to his headset waiting for the signal. He was dressed formally, and stood on the second floor by the railing where he could keep a close eye on the door. Levi stood next to him dressed in a three piece suit. He had his arms folded and floated dangerously close to Eren. The main double doors opened from below, and Eren's green eyes widened. He leaned into his ear piece.

"Eagle is on the move."

"Rodger that. Send Levi in."

Eren nodded to Levi, and the shorter immediately moved towards the stairs. He walked down them casually, looking around at all the nicely dressed people. He rounded a corner, and passed a couple tables. He palmed the inside of his sleeve as he made another left and walked towards the corner of the room. As he walked, he nonchalantly slid his hand along the wall. He let the item fall down his sleeve, and he pushed it into the wall corner with his fingers. When he felt it stick, Levi immediately turned around and said monotone into his ear piece:

"Camera is in place."

"Great. Now get out of there. The snipers have spotted the shota."

"Are we really calling him that?"

"Shh, get moving! Over and out. "

Levi tucked his hands into his pockets, and walked back to meet Eren on the second floor by the railing. As he strolled he thought about how all this came to be.

Everything had been going normally. Almost everyone had met in Reiner and Bertholt's room for movie night. It was Ymir's turn to pick, so they were watching Spirited Away; nobody complained about that one. Eren was snuggled between Levi's legs happily when the door burst open to reveal Armin.

"Hey dude! We started without you." Connie waved over.

Sasha patted next to her, "Yeah, come take a seat!"

"Where were you?" Jean asked from the floor.

They got no response. Armin slammed the door shut and looked like he was about to hyperventilate. Eren sat up worried.

"Armin?"

"I'm so screwed guys I'm so screwed." The blonde ran his fingers through his hair and paced back and forth. Bertholt leaned up to pause the movie on the laptop.

Christa stood and made her way over to him. "Armin? Armin it's okay...what happened?"

"I-i.." Armin choked, "I can't-" He took a deep breath and tried again, "He-he ask- he-"

"Spit it out, brat." Levi called from the couch.

Eren elbowed him angrily, but Armin finally spoke up. "Erwin asked me out."
The room went silent.

"That's it?" Ymir blinked.

Marco chuckled, "Isn't that a good thing?"

"No! Bad thing! Very bad thing..." Armin looked like a wreck; eyes wide and panting. The people in the room all shared nervous looks.

"Hey dude, take seat and calm down." Reiner shifted to make a spot for Armin. "What's wrong?"

"I've never gone out with anyone! What the hell am I supposed to do?" Armin pressed his face into his hands.

Bertholt spoke calmly next to him, "Where did he ask you out to?"

"We're going to dinner!"

Jean shrugged, "That's not so bad man."
