Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan) One shots (Closed)

Ocean (Armin Arlert x OC)

"Tell me again Armin!" A girl says excitedly as she sits next to her friend.

Armin blushes as he looks down at his book. His grandparents had given him this book that had all the wonders of the world in it. He was so excited to show his friends and it just happened that Kina was the first person he ran into, literally. Armin was so excited that in his haste he ran smack into the red headed girl. After helping her up he opened up the book to show her all about it.

"Uhm alright, is there anything in particular you want to look at?" He asks, conscious of how close he was to the girl.

Green eyes sparkle as she gingerly turns the pages to point at a vast expanse of water, "This one! I want to hear about this one again!"

Armin smiles, "Okay, I'll read it again."

Unforunately he'd only just begun reading when the local bullies showed up. Their faces were pulled into sneers as they snatch the book from Armin's hands. They then grabbed up Kina, "Oi, what are you doing hanging around with this heretic?" One of them asks.

"Let me go!" Kina yells.

"Heh, no way. There's no reason for you to hang out with someone like him."

"Let her go! If she doesn't want to go with you then she shouldn't have to!" Armin cuts in as he stands up, his hands clenched. 

The three turn to look at the blonde, their smirks grow even wider. They toss Kina down and one shoves Armin up onto the wall. They land a punch to his face and Kina yells for them to stop. "What's the matter heretic? If you're not happy then just hit back." He laughs.

"I mean it stop!" Kina gets up and tackles one of the bullies, only to have the other pick her up and hold her back. "Let us go! It's not fair, he's done nothing to deserve this!"

"Don't you know he's talking about the outside world? He's nothing but a heretic who deserves everything he gets!"

"Shut it!"

The bullies turn back to Armin, "Well?" They prompt.

"Li-like hell I'd do that! I'm not stooping down to your level!"

"Excuse me?"

"You know I'm telling the truth! That's why you got no choice to hit me without even bothering with an actual answer!"

"Clam it you smartass!" 

"Th-that's right. You're effectively conceding my point , are you not?" Armin shoots back.

Kina's eyes are wide as she looks up at the blonde. Sure he wasn't strong but he certainly had guts. To Kina it was amazing to see him not back down despite being beaten to a pulp. It only made her opinion of him even higher. 

"Shut up!" The bully slams Armin into the wall hard.

Kina starts struggling again, "Stop it and leave us alone!"

"STOP THAT! What the hell do you bastards think you're doing?" Eren yells as he hurls himself down the alleyway toward the bullies. 

The bullies all grin as they turn, ready to beat the shit out of Eren. However at the sight of Mikasa trailing behind him they drop Armin and Kina and haul ass out of there. Kina hits the floor and skins her knees. However she disregards her own injuries and crawls over to Armin, who is slumpted against the dirty alleyway wall. 

She reaches up and cups the side of his bruising face, that looked bad. Armin cracks open one baby blue eye, "K-Kina... are you okay?" He groans.

Kina laughs through barely contained tears, "You were the one that got beaten to a pulp and yet you ask me if I'm okay?"

He smiles, "I was more worried about you..."

Kina can't help but smile and graps his hand, "You don't have to, we'll be alright." She says. Too bad at that moment the world went to hell. Apparently god did have a sense of humor.

Five Years Later

Kina smiles as she stands next to Armin during the 104th trainee squad graduation. It had been a rough five years but here they were, they'd made it. They now had the power to make a change in the messed up world they lived in. As they were dismissed Kina smiles and grabs Armin's hand. The blonde blushes but none the less has a tight hold on her hand. 

"We made it." Armin says suddenly.

She grins, "Armin, do you think one day we'll see the Ocean?"

"I don't know, I hope so though."

She smiles, "Okay, make me a promise! Let's promise that we'll make it to the ocean!"

Armin is shocked but he nods none the less, "Okay, I promise. We'll make it to the ocean."

Kina smiles as she leans in and kisses him on the lips. Armin jolts for a moment but kisses back eagerly. He'd been waiting for a chance to let his affections for her be known. For years he'd had a crush on this girl. She was his most precious person, even more so than Mikasa and Eren. He would do anything to keep Kina alive and happy. For days he'd been trying to tell her that he liked her. Apparently though Kina decided to do it first.

Breaking apart the two smile at one another, slightly breathless. The two look into each other's eyes and Kina gets a look on her face. She smiles at him and grabs Armin's hand. With a tug she pulls him behind her toward the sleeping barracks. "K-Kina?" He stutters, face red. 

The girl laughs, "Come on Armin, it's not like we have to go all the way or anything. In all honesty I just want to get out of the way of prying eyes."

Going inside the female barracks Kina tosses her arms around Armin's neck, pulling him to her for a sweet kiss. Yes, she was sure that she loved this man; warrior or not. 

Ten Years Later

"Whoa, amazing."

"It's so vast..."

Wave lap at the feet of the four Scouting Legioners. Salty wind brushes through their hair and caresses their skin. None of them spoke a single word for now, after all not everything was perfect.

"Kina." 

The twenty-five year old turns around to look at her lover, her eyes a mix of sadness and amazement. She takes his hand in hers, "Armin, it's amazing. We made it, we're at the ocean."

"Describe it to me, I want to know... does it look as beautiful as we imagined it would be?" Cloudy eyes stare straight ahead.

Kina chokes down sobs, "O-of course my love." She holds his hand tighter, "Well... to start off it's amazingly blue..."

Okay I'm sorry! I know this ended really bittersweet but I couldn't help it! I love Armin but I also think that this was a good ending (Though i'm really sorry if you think it's sucky... If you don't like it let me know and I'll try to revamp it!)

Anyways some of the inspiration for this last part comes from here: http://www.deviantart.com/art/The-Ocean-445422392
