”As long as you’re okay with it.” He shrugged, “I think they all sound kind of silly.” But, then again, Eren did have the tendency to act rather silly. Armin thought is was cute.
”Eh — I didn’t think that was something bad to say?” Oops. “I mean, I love you too, ah.. We’ve known each other all our lives, I didn’t think it would be a weird thing to say..” But then again, he still wasn’t exactly family, adopted or otherwise. He was just the friend, which he was okay with, really. The fact that he possesses different types of love for Mikasa and Eren hadn’t occurred to him yet; for now, he’s stuck thinking they’re the same. “Should I not say it? He didn’t seem to mind.”
"It’s because they’re a little silly is why I like them.“ A lift of her eyebrow, and faint hints of amusement seem to dance in her eyes. ” ‘Scaren’, 'Hackerman’… They’re cute. Don’t you agree?“
And if she were to voice that the way Armin seemed to stumble a bit on his own words was sort of sweet, she was sure he’d dismiss her statement with denial. And so she kept that to herself. "I never said it was a bad thing, Armin. … Ah. I think Eren doesn’t mind at all,” she canceled out the use of the word 'seem’, “Because I’m sure he loves you too.”
