Armin Arlert

Hello, I'm Armin! I'm 16 years old and attend Maria High. I always try my best and I love reading. (RP Blog AU Modern!Armin. Part of the Modern-SNK group)

[You've] Fucked Up

[kinddevotion]

"I can be as loud as I want, you little shit!!!" He yelled right back into the smaller boy’s face, "Don’t tell me what to do!!"

His face was already red from all the fury and it looked. There was only a bit missing and he’d surely have given off steam like an old steam machine. “You fucking bastard have shamelessly lied in my face!!! I trusted you, whoreson, and this is what I get in return?!?! You sure have some nerves and guts to dare to pull this kind of shit— but not with me, motherfucker! Not with me!”

Reiner violently grabbed Armin’s collar, who was standing on the other side of the desk, and pulled him all over the counter, panting with rage like a bull. “I’m going to beat the living daylights out of you— Once I’m done with your sorry ass and pathetic life, you’ll wish to have never been born to this world..!!” He promised in a menacing low voice, golden hues filled with murderous intent locked on the smaller boy.

"I-I-I'm not trying to tell you what to do...exactly. I just want you to keep your voice down or else someone else will get you in troubl-" he began to say, but Reiner cut him off with a rant.

"Reiner...what are you talking about?" he stammered nervously. He honestly had no clue what he possibly could've done. "I swear I haven't lied to you about anything! I don't know what you'r- AH!" he yelled, practically screaming as Reiner grabbed him pulling him over the desk and held him up. He grabbed Reiner's wrists, practically begging to be let go.

"Please Reiner," he choked out. "Please...at least tell me what I did," he coughed.

Grave Digging

[kinddevotion]

Reiner cocked an eyebrow. While he wasn’t too surprised to hear that Armin didn’t like rollercoasters - to be honest, he totally looked like someone who didn’t in the first place -, the blond certainly forgot to include that possibility in his plan. “Oh… Alriiiight…..” He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. “I think those are the kind of attractions she likes the most… Also Haunted Houses and everything scary— she likes them a lot.”

Reiner averted his eyes, unsure if he should tell Armin. He wa afraid that Bertholdt’s fondness for Annie could cause some tensions between those three… But at the same time he didn’t want to keep it a secret from Armin. The smaller blond was one of Bertholdt’s friends as well after all, no? He should be able to trust him, no? And trust him, that this wouldn’t cause Bertholdt’s relationship with Armin to break. “Ah… Well… Actually… Bertholdt seems to be very fond of Annie, you know…” He mumbled nervously. “You know… that kind if fond…”

[knowledgableblondbookworm-blog]

"Sc-scary?!" Armin gulped. "R-R-Right," he stammered. Man-up Arlert, he said to himself. Giving himself a pep-talk always helped...a little. He wasn't even there and just thinking about it made him nervous. "I would...do my best for her. Besides...Annie I'm sure would want to go with someone she would have fun with and I don't want to be holding her back from going on rides she loves. I-I-I can suck it up," he said with nervous determination.

Armin blushed hear about Bertholdt. The poor boy had so much going on in his life already...the last thing he needed was Armin stealing the girl he liked. Armin bit his lip. "I'm really sorry. I didn't know," he mumbled. "If I had I wouldn't...well I would've spoke with him first before doing anything. Of course, it's too late for that now," he sighed. He didn't want to lose Bertholdt as a friend and Armin really hoped the tall boy would understand.

A Little Help || Closed Springer-Shortie

[springer-shortie]

He sure did need help. A lot of it. He wasn’t very clever to begin with, so the first question made him think for a long while before answering. “M-Math…” he ended up mumbling, a little embarrassed. Math was all about applying logic and applying the right formula to the equations, but he felt too dumb to even do that right.

“I’m trying to go to the cheapest one… And the closest one…”all he wanted was to have the university degree so he could get a decent job and take care of his family.

[knowledgableblondbookworm-blog]

Armin pulled out his math book and laid it out on the table. "Math is pretty hard," Armin said. "Once you get the formulas down, it's easier, but the teachers usually want you to take it a step further on tests, that's where it gets really tricky," he smiled. "Don't feel bad or anything, I've had to stay after school to get extra Math help before. It's really hard," Armin said trying to reassure Connie.

"So Maria then?" Armin confirmed. "It would be nice to be able to stay close, plus I know the area. However, I'm pretty sure everyone I know expects me to go to Sina," he said nervously.

After School || Closed RP ComplacentPunk

[complacentpunk-blog]

   Eren could understand why Armin would be worried about him, and that was what made him feel the most guilty about the situation. School was important of course; even he recognized this fact and made a point to not dispute it. But it was hard for him to sit in a seat for an extended period, and even harder to take home work and get it down without being majorly distracted by something else. Armin was worrying and with cause— Eren had begun to skip school relentlessly again, and his grades were falling faster than a fat man jumping off a cliff. His poor excuse of a smile faltered for a moment, but he stood back up, and walked back up to the Xbox to finish putting in the game before tossing a second controller to him.

   ”Yeah, I know that, but I think you’ll like the strategic parts of the game. You’re better at that than I am,” he said, settling down next to him controller dangling from one hand as he turned to face his friend.    Eyes followed the book as it was placed on the title, quickly reading the title and nodding shallowly, jaw tilted towards the blond. The way that he described the novel seemed a bit too unenthusiastic for him, and a thought crossed his mind that he was speaking before he even had a moment to finish thinking it— “It sounds cool, so why’re ya mumbling about it? Do you not like it?” He sat for a second before glancing at the screen, and pressing play to start the co-op campaign.     “You ready? It’ll start with a cutscene but we’ll be playing soon enough—”

[knowledgableblondbookworm-blog]

Armin looked at Eren curiously. "N-No I really like it. I just...I don't know it's been awhile since I've seen you read a book, so I guess I sort of assumed it wouldn't be something you were interested in," he admitted. "I didn't want to bore you with some silly book I'm reading." Sometimes, Armin really felt as though he had missed some crucial step in growing up. Eren and Mikasa seemed to be interested in new things now that they were older and Armin was doing the same thing...only the books were a higher reading level. He tried to shake the thoughts from his head.

"Right," Armin said, watching the T.V as the cutscene began. He clutched the controller tightly in his hands, watching the screen. Maybe if he really paid attention he would know exactly what to do once the game started. Normally he would wander around aimlessly, dying frequently and apologizing to Eren when he would get mad. Armin hated disappointing him, but he just wasn't good at these shooters. As the game started Armin snuck his character out around a corner. "I think this is the way to go," he whispered, as though the other characters in the game would be able to hear him if he spoke too loud.

Day of the Festival: (knowledgableblondbookworm)

[leonhardt-ani]

Annie nodded as they neared the many aisles of booths set in front of the school. She stood still and took a deep breath, inhaling through her nose. All the smells of the festival made Annie smile. The scent running water from the fish catching game and foods from the various booths.

"Where do you want to go first, Armin?" Annie smiled, swinging their arms back and forth.

[knowledgableblondbookworm-blog]

"I don't know," he shrugged. "Are you hungry? Or maybe you want to play one of the games. We could try and win a prize!" he smiled at her. She looked so happy, smiling as she swung their arms back and forth.

He leaned over and gave her a kiss on her cheek. "I'm just happy to be here with you, so let's do whatever you want."

[knowledgableblondbookworm-blog]

"N-no! It's not!" Gesturing enthusiastically with her arms, her nerves getting the best of her, the book and pencils from the desk fell to the floor. She gasped and jumped to the floor to pick up the objects. ((Ah! I would love to! I just don't have too much time to RP at the moment, but I'll think about it ^-^))

"O-oh!" Armin saw her knock the pencils off the desk and he jumped over to help her quickly pick them up. "Here," he smiled handing her a few pens that had rolled over by him.

((Aww it would be so fun! I wanna know who you are secret anon :o also sorry for not being around today ><))

[text:] SHE'S MY AUNT DUDE. SHE SAYS THAT DAD TOLD HER TO TAKE ME TO THE FESTIVAL. H E LP

[Text:] Do you not want to go to the festival?

[knowledgableblondbookworm-blog]

She kept her gaze down, embarrassed by her own enthusiasm, and feeling his eyes on her. "Man. I wish I liked studying. I guess... I guess it's kinda fun when you have someone nice to help you out." She lifted her eyes and smiled at him. (wow! thank you for playing along! I can keep going tmr if you would like!)

He smiled at her. "Yeah I always enjoy studying in groups more than by myself. I guess...it's pretty nerdy that I like that stuff," he laughed nervously. ((no problem! You should get a tumblr and make an OC for our group!! :D Also we can totally continue tomorrow!))

[text:] ARMIN OH GOD HELP HANJI'S HERE

[Text]: What's wrong?! I like Ms. Hanji...

[knowledgableblondbookworm-blog]

"A nerd? B-but you're the coolest guy I know..." She uncovered her eyes and let her hands find the book, closing it quietly. She blinked at him, eyes wide and ready to learn. "I'm a little nervous about studying I guess. Sorry."

Armin looked at the girl, confused. He had barely talked to her and she thought he was cool? That was nice of her... "Thanks, Ti. I think you maybe have the wrong person though," he laughed rubbing the back of his head. "Don't feel nervous about studying, it's actually really fun...I mean...for me at least," he said awkwardly. He always forgot that most normal people didn't like studying.

[knowledgableblondbookworm-blog]

"No worries. You're a popular guy I bet, being so smart and... oh!" She took her hands and covered her eyes. "Okay! I'm ready. Ask away!"

Armin blinked a few times. He never considered himself to be popular and neither did anyone else really. “T-thanks. It’s nice of you to say, though most people just think I’m a nerd,” he said. “Um…Ti, you don’t need to cover your eyes,” he laughed. “Just close the book.”

After School || Closed RP ComplacentPunk

[complacentpunk-blog]

   Eren scoffed, rolling bright hues in an over-exaggerated manner before nodding. “Yeah, figured ya wouldn’t leave me alone unless I at least brought text books over ‘r somethin’,” his smile is light as he nods and follows the blond into the other room, tossing the bag onto the couch, leaning over the side to jerk the games out of the front pocket.    ”I brought a few shooter games…. Let’s try Army of Two. I think you’ll like the thinkin’ work involved..” his voice drops off as he walks over to set the games next to the Xbox, shaking his head in a small ‘it’s fine’ before grabbing a controller and turning back to remove his bag from the cushions before fixing a slightly arched brow on his friend.    ”What’ve you been reading?” The disinterest in his tone is just an act— he genuinely enjoys the way that Armin would talk about the books that he would watch, whether they were fantasy novels or compilations of facts about the ocean. He particularly held a fascination with those ones himself, and the thin smile is one of the biggest he’s worn in a while. He missed hanging with his friend.

[knowledgableblondbookworm-blog]

Armin frowned. "I would've left you alone about," he grumbled. He didn't want Eren to think of him like a nag. "I just...I just worry about you sometimes," he said quietly, not wanting to bring down the mood or anything.

Armin took a seat on the couch and waited for Eren to set up the game. "Alright..." Armin said skeptically. "You know I'm not very good at these shooter games," he sighed, but Armin was always willing to play them with Eren. He missed his friends and if running around fake dying all the time was what Eren enjoyed, Armin didn't mind playing just for him.

"Oh! This is just a new adventure novel the library got. It's about dragons and sword fights and such," He mumbled placing the book on the table. Eren already thought he was a nerd...if he talked to much about that book, he would definitely be judging him.

Day of the Festival: (knowledgableblondbookworm)

[leonhardt-ani]

"We can always wait until we’re alone after the festival" Annie mentioned

"I hear Bertholdt is doing something with the Literary club" she thought out loud. 

"I don’t know what Reiner is doing."

[knowledgableblondbookworm-blog]

"Alright," Armin said. "That's a good point," he blushed feeling embarrassed that he had rushed into things with her. "Maybe we could go say hi to everyone," he suggested.

"I was hoping to see Eren but I doubt he's helping with anything," Armin sighed. Eren was causing so many problems lately. Armin shook his head and squeezed Annie's hand. "Let head towards the booths," he said with a smile.

[knowledgableblondbookworm-blog]

She smiled at his laugh and played with her fingers. "Uh... sure. That would be great. Wh-what should I do?"

Armin’s phone buzzed. “O-Oh just a second,” he said, opening his phone to send a text message. “Anyway, sorry about that. Well all that you have to do is my questions correctly. That’s how you know you understand the information…but no looking at the text book okay?”

[knowledgableblondbookworm-blog]

[Text]: Armin. Are you at the library?

[Text]: I am, I’m working today. How are you Annie? <3

[leonhardt-ani]

[Text]: …Alright.

Is what Annie should have sent, she deleted her message and quickly turned around from the direction of her house.

[Text]: Ti? I haven’t heard of her before? You’ve been in class with her?

[knowledgableblondbookworm-blog]

[Text]: Yeah, we've been in class together a few times, but I haven't talked to her much. Annie, are you getting jealous? There's really no need, you know you're the only girl for me.

Armin was a little nervous that Annie was taking this the wrong way.

[knowledgableblondbookworm-blog]

[Text]: Armin. Are you at the library?

[Text]: I am, I’m working today. How are you Annie? <3

[knowledgableblondbookworm-blog]

[Text]: I’m alright, no need to worry. I’m helping a girl from my history class study. Why?

[leonhardt-ani]

[Text]: You’re helping a girl? Who is the girl? What’s her name? How long have you know her?

[knowledgableblondbookworm-blog]

[Text]: Annie, it's okay! Her name is Ti. She's in class with me. You have nothing to worry about, alright?
