Future Memories - Ch. 8 ≫ Part 1 ∥ Grammar fixed/Edited
Ever since Cali and Alexander met, they've been suggesting double dates. Eren and Armin always reluctantly answered with a 'sure'.
Today, they were at the park. They all sat on the grass, making flower crowns. It was Cali's idea of a perfect date. Eren complained that making flower crowns was too girly while Alexander complained that it was chilly. Armin didn't complain, he just kept quiet and made flower crowns with Cali. He would put them on Alex's head, but when Alex didn't want it, he gave it to Cali. Cali had given some of hers to Alex and some to Eren.
"Hey, I'm going to get some ice cream from the parlor," Alex announced, getting up.
"I'll go with you!" Cali quickly insisted.
Eren was about to speak up about all of them going, but Armin beat him to speaking.
"Okay, we'll wait here!" He replied quite cheerfully.
Alex and Cali left, quickly engaging in a conversation Eren stared at Armin who just looked down.
"Eren, I . . . I have to tell you something important," Armin began. "Please don't get mad."
Eren gasped and leaned in, "don't tell me you're marrying Alexander," he whispered.
Armin blushed but shook his head.
"Then what is it?" The brunette questions.
"Promise you won't hate me," Armin pleaded.
Eren hesitated but nodded nonetheless. Armin took a deep breath.
"I'vebeenlyingtoyouforthepasteightyears," Armin quickly confessed.
Eren raised a brow and scooted closer to the blond. He grabbed Armin's face in his hands and leaned in closer to the point where their noses touched. Armin blushed at the sudden action.
"What?" Eren asked.
Armin closed his eyes and repeated himself, "I've been lying to you for the past eight years."
Eren was calmer then Armin had expected.
"About what, exactly?" The brunette asked.
"About not remembering who we used to be. It was a month after I left the hospital that I remembered everything. I just didn't tell you because, well, because I wanted a . . . break," Armin explained.
Eren took a deep breath before letting the blond go. He sat back down, his face in his hands. Armin watched for a minute before he went and kneeled beside Eren. Reluctantly, he placed a hand on Eren's shoulder. His other hand took Eren face from his hands. Armin's hands were now cupping the brunette's face as he leaned in.
"You little bitch!"
Armin quickly pulled away from Eren. The two looked up to find Alex and Cali staring at them. Alex was fuming while Cali looked as if she was about to cry. The four ice cream cones which were bought, were now on the ground. Alex grabbed Armin by the wrist and hoisted him upward.
"Alex, I can explain," Armin quickly tried to reason.
Instead, Alex walked, pulling Armin behind him. Armin tried to get away from Alex's grasp but he couldn't. Eren, who was trying to calm down a crying Cali, had gone after Armin. But by the time he almost touched the blond's other arm, Armin was thrown into the backseat of Alex's car and Eren was shoved to the ground. By the time the brunette got back up, the car was gone.
Eren looked back at Cali. She was staring at the ground, tears still staining her face.
