"Wow where did you learn to fight like that" armin asked

I didn't learn to fight it just happened

I didn't respond

"Your not very sociable are you" he said

"No" I mumbled

"that's fine I'm not someone who talks much to other people either other than eren I usually just keep my head down and make friends with books" he said

I looked at him confused

"Books are your friends" I mumbled

"Not the actual books I'm friends with the characters in the books do you like to read" he asked

I nodded

He smiled

"What's your favourite book" he asked

"Romance novels I don't have a favourite" I mumbled

"Same but I also love adventure books I'll show you tomorrow if you want I can come round" he said

I nodded

"Do you want to be friends" he said to me

I looked at him

I gave him a small smile and nodded

"I can tell your good friend material because eren really likes you" he said

"I really like him too" I said.

He smiled

Soon armin gave me my notes

And I met back up with mikasa and eren

Eren smiled at me

"So did you find him" he asked

I nodded at him

He held me hand and we walked back home

Eren was much taller than me

So it was comforting

But in a friendly way

We all walked back to the house

"So did you enjoy today" Eren asked me

I nodded

"Yeah it was fun eren armin seems really nice" mikasa said

They looked at me

I was confused and furrowed my eyebrows

"Do you like armin" mikasa asked

I nodded

"We're friends" I mumbled

They both smiled

We got back to the jeager residence

And saw erens mum Carla jeager

"Hi how was your day did you get on well with armin" Carla asked

I nodded

She smiled

"Thats good" she then said

Mikasa then said

"He seems nice and he seems to really like reading"

That's true I like that about him

Eren tapped me

"Now you have a new best friend don't worry I won't get jealous he can be both our best friends" he said

I looked at him with love in my eyes

"But your my best friend eren" I said

He was shocked by this comment but then smiled

"You just said a full sentence no stuttering" he said

I just realised

I just done that

I was so pleased with myself

I smiled smallish

I never say full sentences and when I do speak I usually stutter

"I'm your best friend" he realised what I said

I nodded

"Why didn't you have any other friends in your old home" he then asked. 

I shook my head

Many people there were rude to me because of my height and because I don't like speaking much

"Eren he was bullied by the other kids back home" mikasa whispered to him I only just heard it

He looked down and back at me

"Then I'll be honoured to be your best friend if you'll be my second" he said

"Second" I mumbled

"Yeah I can have two best friends you and armin but that doesn't make any difference if your second" he said

I smiled. 

It's been awhile since I've full on smiled

It was nice

Eren made me happy
