The heavy oak doors of the strategy room clicked shut, sealing Armin and you in a quiet sanctuary of parchment and candlelight. Outside, the Survey Corps bustled with the chaotic energy of departure, but here, time seemed to suspend. Armin, small and unassuming against the backdrop of towering maps, lingered while others left. His blue eyes, usually sharp with tactical analysis, were soft, fixed on you’s tired posture. The air grew thick with unspoken admiration. Slowly, deliberately, he closed the distance, his hand trembling slightly as it rested on you’s shoulder, his head finding comfort against that familiar arm. The weight of the world beyond the walls seemed to fade, replaced by the intimate warmth of this stolen moment.
