Unity

Chapter Twenty Two

"I thought you hated your uncle," I heard another girl say.

"I do." the two of the three girls walked into the pool while the other one sat on the edge with her legs crossed.

Eren and I got out of the pool and began to dry off. We should probably get inside soon. I could tell that these girls were homophobic... it wasn't that hard to detect.

"Hey blondie," I jumped and turned around and looked at the girl who had called me. I'm not sure if she was calling me at first, but she looked at me in the eyes so I assumed that she was. I saw her turn around to her friends and whisper something. They laughed. "Who on earth gave you those ugly scars on your chest?" I furrowed my brow and turned around and tried to ignore her.

"Hey, we asked you a question. It's rude not to answer." I heard another girl yell.

"It's none of your business," I didn't turn around but I answered. I heard one of the girls scoff.

"Well cover them up, they're grossing me out." I rolled my eyes and covered myself with a towel. Eren and I began to head back inside, but another girl started talking to us.

"Just a warning, I don't want you to get bad diseases or anything like that, so, I just wanted to let you know that if you guys have gay sex, you might get horrible diseases," Eren stuck his middle finger up at the girls there and walked inside with me.

We took the elevator up to our room.

Eren plopped on the bed and pulled the covers over him.

"Everywhere we go someone has to say something homophobic to us. We're on our fucking honeymoon! We can't catch a break." I looked down on the ground and crawled in next to Eren.

"Look on the brightside, Eren. In someplaces people like us aren't even allowed to get married." Eren nodded.

"You're right." I lay on my back with my head on Eren's chest. Eren was laying vertically on the bed but I was laying horizontally on the bed with my knees bent up. It was really hot outside, so we threw the covers off of the bed and slept without them.

. . .

Our week was almost over so we decided to go out tonight to revisit our old little forest. This would definitely bring back some old, sentimental memories. Eren and I walked there like we were walking from school.

And there it stood, loud and proud. It looked greener and fuller than it had seven years ago. Eren grabbed my hand and walked down the big hill with me. We entered the forest and looked for the firepit we built.

"Wow," Eren sat by the firepit. It looked pitiful and small, but you could definitely tell that it was still there. "There's the tree we always cuddle at," Eren pointed at a tree and saw the initials that we carved into it when we were fourteen. 'A+E'.

Eren and I walked over to the creek and sat down in the same spot where we shared our first kiss.

I sat kneeled in the water and Eren sat against the dirt wall.

"Hey, Armin?" I smiled, knowing exactly what he was doing.

"Yeah?" Eren put his hand on my waist and pulled me close to him.

"Can I kiss you?"

"You're such a dork," I leaned in, cupped his face in my hands and kissed him softly as if it were the first time. I felt Eren smiling into the kiss and he pulled me even closer to him. There wasn't a gap between us and there didn't need to be. There was no awkwardness between us and there was not a feeling of discomfort when it came to us.

Eren opened his mouth completely, and I did the same shortly after.

We didn't exactly reenact our first kiss accurately, but we got the first part right. Mikasa wasn't there to stop us, so we could do what we wanted to do.

When we got back to our room, we just slept because we were getting up early tomorrow to drive back home to Southampton.

Eren's hand rested right below my rib-cage and he fell asleep. 

It took me a while longer to fall asleep, but then again, it always did. I always dreamt. I couldn't remember a night where I didn't dream, actually. I don't usually remember most of my dreams, but I remembered small snippets.

I finally closed my eyes and tried to sleep. It came easier than I thought it would.

A/N: I really apologize for the short chapter! The next two chapters won't be so short, though, because a pretty big event is coming up.

So I had a dream the other day about Eren and Armin and they were being all lovy-dovy and kissing and hugging all the time and stuff and then Armin was like "Someone told me you're doing this for show, but I know you're not," and Eren was like "haha, yeah I'm doing it for show," and kept being all romantic with Armin

I think that my obsession with Attack on Titan and EreMin has gone too far because now I'm dreaming about it haha
