Few months later

Annie's POV

I woke up from the ray of warm light from the window touching my face. My eyes fluttered and I rubbed them to recover my vision. I was about to sit up until I realized the weight on my chest and I smiled as I looked who it was. Armin was still asleep on top of me with his arms wrapped tightly around my waist. I gently caressed his blonde hair.

Our relationship is going extremely well, we've been going on a few dates here and there, Armin would mostly take me to a bakery where they make the best donuts that he knows I love. He told me that Sasha was the one that told him that I had an obsession with sweets. I really wish I could've seen her after I left the crystal, she was one of the funny ones.

He would also take me, Gabi and Falco to the what was it called again? Cinema? Yeah it's some type of motion picture that tells stories. Armin is fascinated by this since he says that this will be the next big thing in fiction.

Armin is not the only one that does something. I would take Gabi and Falco to ODM gear training since they were begging me for it.

I slipped slowly away from Armin's cuddle because as much as I want to stay in his embrace for eternity... I'm hungry as fuck. I managed to slip away and stand up as I realized that I was naked. I forgot we did it last night as an apology because I accidentally punched him in the face when he snuck up on me to surprise me because he bought donuts for me.

I dressed up in a baggy white shirt and some black shorts which I think are Armin's. I was about to go out until I heard Armin mumbling in his sleep.

"Mmmm my Annie.. so beautiful" He mumbled in his sleep as I chuckled. I gave him a peck in his temple and made my way to the kitchen.

My eyes widened at the two kids cooking in the kitchen. I crossed my arms and stood tall.

"What the fuck are u guys doing?" I practically yelled out which made them jump at my sudden question.

"We're making breakfast for Armin" Falco pointed out and I was still dumbfounded. Breakfast for Armin but not for me? I know that sounds selfish, but my stomach is doing all the talking now.

"Why? Didn't you guys already made him a 'thank you' breakfast for adopting you two?" I asked.

Gabi looked shocked at me and then gazed at Falco that had the same expression on his face.

"Does she not know?" Gabi asked Falco and I just looked confused.

"I don't think so? I mean isn't she supposed to know?" Falco said to Gabi and she was about to respond until I interrupted them.

"Know about WHAT!?" I screamed out at them. I hate when they do that.

"Uhm Annie.. it's Armin's birthday" Gabi informed as my eyes widened in disbelief. Ah shit.

"But... isn't it in November 3rd?" I was in denial as I went towards the calendar on the refrigerator door. "Shit" I cussed.

I got angry as I heard slight muffled chuckling from the two idiots. I held my index finger at them "Do. Not. Tell. Him." I threatened.

"Tell him what?" My jaw dropped as I heard the all too much familiar voice. Fuck. I turned around and fakely smiled at him, trying to shake my guilt away.

"Happy birth.." I tried to say until Gabi interrupted me.

"Annie forgot your birthday!!!" Gabi said as I slowly turned around and gave her the most deadly glare I ever gave someone. Falco moved away from her slowly. The tension in the room was rising faster than lightning until I heard loud laughing from the man behind me, which calmed me.
