Erens POV:

It was a few weeks since we had the picnic with Marco and Armin was acting awfully odd around him. Like, I get the whole 'what if he finds out I'm a boy who dressed in a pink bikini and wore makeup' thing, but wouldn't he have realised that Marco was clueless by now?

It was a cold morning and I rolled out of bed then stood up. I padded over to my door and, for the first time in a while, checked the calender. I did a double take then looked out the window and saw small snowflakes falling down.

"aaRRMIINNN", I screeched as I charged down the hall, almost tripping over Fluffy who had decided the bang in the centre of the hallway was the best place to sleep. I stumbled into the living room and crashed down on top of Armin who was writing

"ErEN! ahH!", he gasped as I lay motionlessly on top of him for a couple of seconds then looked up at his face. He was wiggling to escape but I was way too heavy and much stronger than him and he was like a butterfly under a stone

"ARMIIINNNN! THERES SNOW AND ITS ALMOST CHRISTMAS AND WE HAVE TO INVITE PEOPLE OVER AND WE HAVE TO MAKE A SNo--", I rushed the words excitedly before stopping to breathe for ten seconds

"Oh my gosh, Eren you are really stupid aren't you? Do you ever check your calender?! I told you yesterday that it's 5 days till Christmas and now it's 4.", Armin sighed his face blushing slightly because he was still being pinned down by my massive body

"That's not nice", I pouted, fake tears gathering in my eyes

"Aww stoopid", he giggled as he whiped them away,"so do you wanna go do something in the snow"Armin smiled as my eyes lit up with excitement

"YASS", I screamed throwing on my coat and red scarf, then pulling Armin outside whilst he was putting on his boot. I laughed and threw myself down into the soft white snow listening to it crunch. It looked so crisp so I started licking it when Armin slapped me

"EREN NO EWW! There could be cat pee on that!! Don't you know ANYTHING?!", he snorted as he squeezed my cheeks till I spat the lump of snow back out. It didn't taste good anyway

Suddenly armin darted off and disappeared behind a plant pot; he was pretty tiny so he fit perfectly behind it out of view. I stood up confused and looking around when I felt a freezing cold thing slap against my face; a SNOWBALL. Then another and another and another came shooting out from behind Armins plant pot.

I could hear him laughing evilly behind it and snuck up on him, stealing all his snowballs. I chucked them at his face while he whimpered, begging for peace as I pinned him on the ground

Armins POV

I giggled for a bit as we both panted, catching our breathe, Eren still holding both my arms down. His eyes were shining with happiness and energy and a cheeky smile was plastered on his face. I felt sort of dominated and it felt so thrilling

"Beg for mercy at the foot of your new king", Eren finally growled in a laughing but playful voice. It was cold being pinned against the snow and I shivered a tiny bit as Eren demanded me to beg again.

"Oh great one, please may I have thy scarf so I don't freeze to death", I begged, teeth chattering as Eren pretended to think about it

"Alright peasant, as long as you promise me one thing", Eren smiled, that satanic but cheeky grin on his face.

"What is this promise?", I asked interested but cautious

"You're gonna set up some mistletoe in our house", he said winking and sticking his tongue out in a cute cheeky way. I giggled knowing where this was going and sighed in agreeance

"Alright", I smiled, softly kissing his cheek as a blush crept across his nose and cheeks.

---- TimeSkip ---- New Year's Eve party planning ----

"So on New Years you want to host a party right? We need to think about who to invite", I wondered to Eren who was fighting over a anchovy with fluffy. To be honest, I couldn't figure out which was hissing more, Eren or fluffy

"Well, Sasha, Jean, Levi, Connie, Reiner, Bertholdt, Annie, Ymir and Christa", Eren said listing tonnes of people who I had no idea existed, let alone were Erens mates.

"Oh yeah, and Marco", he said looking at me for a reaction. He thought it was just pure embarrassment but it was way more than that. My stomach flipped and whole body flinched as I remember what had happened. It made bile rise in my mouth just thinking of it even though Marco was oblivious to the fact he had tried to feel up ME.

".. Okay... I'll invite my friends Hange, Mina and Petra", I said even though I doubt they would come. They were my only childhood friends as all the boys at school thought I was too much of a nerd to hang out with them but the girls liked playing with my hair

Petra and Mina were kind and sweet girls but after they graduated Minas mother died of cancer and Petras sister got depression so they tended to ignore invitations anywhere. Hange was nice and all but without them there to control her she could get really creepy and would poke around in my mouth or study how long it takes me to eat something

"You fine with Marco though?", Eren said. I really wasn't and I wanted to take him off the list but he was a good friend and would suspect something if he wasn't invited all of a sudden

"It's fine, him too", I sighed reluctantly as Eren smiled, patting my shoulder. It was gonna be tough with both Marco and Levi there but I was gonna try my best to cope.

"Well we are all set for the party, now we just need to get ready for Christmas", Eren smiled like an excitable kid, wondering if he'd get a puppy or not this year
