Yeah, he would. I remember your mother gave me black currants to bake in buns sometimes too.

I think she liked spoiling you to compensate for the times I was a shitty little brat. She was probably afraid I'd lose my only friend if she didn't interfere.

She spoiled me too much, I think. She didn't need to worry about you losing me as a friend, though. I mean, you were my only friend then. If we got in a row that we didn't get over we'd both have ended up friendless.

[ He laughs just a little. ]

We were pretty stuck. I think when I fucked up, I was scared out of my mind because I thought I would lose you.

I mean, I hated all those other dipshits. I didn't want to be alone, but it'd be better than dealing with any of them as a substitute, really.

I don't think I could stay mad at you for very long. I mean, I didn't want to be alone either. Besides, it wasn't worth it being cross with one another.

_{[And there's a bit of a cheeky grin there.]}

You'd always come and apologize, whether that was your mother's doing or not.

[ He scratched his nose, almost looking sheepish. ]

Sometimes it was because of mom. I've always been good at staying mad, but you're right, it wasn't worth it.

She liked you a lot, though. Like, a hell of a lot. I think we would've taken you in, too, if something had happened before... you know.

I'm glad. I liked her a lot too...if it had ever come to that, I'd have been forever grateful to her. If my grandfather hadn't had his health, I'm not sure what I would've done if you hadn't been my friend.

I think I would've had a rather pathetic existence.

I don't think so. You might have gone pretty far without me, if not for the bullies.

I think I'd have starved, to be honest.

I think you're too stubborn to just die. Or, I want to think so.

Well, I am rather stubborn when I want to be. After all, there's a lot I want to see before I die.

See? So, you wouldn't starve. You'd survive anyway. You've got that head on your shoulders and it's better than mine and Mikasa's.

So don't say that. Eat another cookie.

Alright, alright.

_{[He takes another cookie then to nibble on it, leaning against the counter behind him.]}

Do you want another?

Are they still warm?

They are. They're gooey.

Then yeah, hand one over.

_{[And so he does, taking one off the pan only to take a step toward and offer it to Eren by pushing it against his lips.]}

Open wide.

Pff, I'm not a little kid... [ But he complies, opening his mouth and feeling silly for it. ]

_{[It's silly, sure, but there's nothing wrong with a bit of silliness from time to time, especially now that they did have the time for it.

Eren takes a bite and Armin hands the cookie over with a small smile.]}

If sweets aren't your favourite, then what should I try and surprise you with next time?

[ Eren chews thoughtfully, resting his cheek on his fist. ]

I don't know. We spent so long eating whatever we could grab, I don't even know what I like anymore.

Then that means we ought to try as many new things as we possibly can, right?

That'll cost money. We're not making that much.

Well, I don't mean every day or Jean levels of frivolousness. More like...perhaps every week or so? We can try a new dish or treat.

You mean we should go out or eat together once a week? I'm alright with that. I haven't really gone to restaurants or anything.

Yeah. I think it's a good plan. I haven't either, in all honesty. It could be exciting.
