Armin has always been the more pragmatic and analytical half of your relationship — diligently managing the household finances, ensuring bills were paid on time, and being the go-to person when anything in your little apartment decides to break down. Whether he possesses the DIY knowledge on how to fix it, or has a trusty contact who does (usually a close friend or a friend of a friend), he always ensures the issue is resolved as swiftly as possible.

On the other hand, you revel in maintaining the home’s tidiness, even amidst the chaos of Armin’s extensive book collection strewn haphazardly around. With your knack for decorating and your keen eye for the arts — along with the assortment of second-hand bought trinkets and cherished gifts from close friends — you’ve personalized the space to perfectly reflect the both of you. Now, it feels imbued with life and warmth — your little sanctuary of love and laughter.

One piece of furniture stands out amongst the rest — an old, well-loved but worn-out couch, adorned with scrapes and a few lingering stains from late nights drinking. While it may have seen better days, it holds a special place in your hearts. A gift from Mikasa and Eren — a symbol to commemorate a most significant milestone in your relationship with Armin: finally moving in together, after years of dating. Countless evenings you’ve spent together on that couch, the two of you, snuggled close, engrossed in movies and documentaries, with popcorn and other snacks scattered around.

Unfortunately, those evenings have become a distant memory. While Armin has the luxury of working from home occasionally, your day begins and ends with a grueling commute. Endless hours stuck in traffic, surrounded by other impatient commuters honking their horns and blasting music. Your nightly routines of cozying up with books and series have faded away, and Armin is always quick to notice the melancholy in your eyes, and the exhaustion that coats your whole being when you return home from work.

He yearns to bring back the sense of relaxation in your life.

So, one cloudy Saturday morning — with the skies overcast and the gentle city breeze singing its soft melody — he decides to dedicate the day entirely to you.

He stirs from his slumber, stretching his limbs, ensuring his movements are as quiet as possible. Padding softly to the kitchen, he contemplates his first step: breakfast — he’s been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to prepare your favorites ever since his latest grocery run, where he gathered all the necessary ingredients.

He brews himself a fragrant cup of coffee, the bitter aroma filling the air. His hands move gracefully as he gathers the ingredients, double-checking the recipes saved on his phone. Even though he has watched you create these dishes countless of times — and he considers them simple and easy to recreate — he’s determined to prepare a masterpiece.

Contrary to his belief and his initial confidence, preparing the breakfast platter ends up a challenging endeavor. When he finally completes the breakfast, a fine dusting of flour coats every inch of the tiny kitchen; rogue bits of batter cling stubbornly to his tousled hair. There’s a wet spot on the floor, where an unfortunate egg had met its fate.

Despite his fierce battle with the stubborn kitchen appliances and the endless amount of recipes (complete with their frustratingly long blog stories), Armin couldn’t help but let out a proud smile at his accomplishment. A grand platter, filled with numerous delicious and aromatic treats lay in front of him. Of course, a steaming cup of coffee sat next to it, brewed from your favorite coffee beans — the ones you’ve reserved only for special occasions.

Armin looks at the clock, noting the time is drawing near to when you usually stir from your slumber on your days off. He carefully collects the platter, and proceeds towards your shared bedroom.

He eases the door ajar, casting a cautious glance inside.You’re already awake, perched on the bed, tousled and tangled hair framing your face. Fatigue clings to your eyes, yet a delicate smile graces your lips as you idly scroll your phone.

“Good morning, love,” Armin murmurs tenderly, opening the door further. “I’ve prepared a little something for you.” He steps inside the room, heart swelling as he notices your gaze widen in astonishment.

“Armin…” you start, words faltering. “You—you shouldn't have…” You spring up from the bed, nearly stumbling over your own slippers, as you eagerly reach for him. Cupping his cheeks within your tender hands, you lock your gaze with his, heart racing with affection. You find yourself lost in the endless cerulean of his eyes; and you can’t help but notice the tiny specks of lighter blue scattered within. A shy but sweet smile tugs at his lips, and a gentle flush colors his cheeks as you press your lips softly against his.

“Oh, no!” you mumble, drawing back in mild horror. Armin looks puzzled by your sudden reaction, as you stammer our apologies. “Morning breath, sorry… Just… give me a moment,” you add, rushing off to the bathroom to quickly freshen up by brushing your teeth and washing your face.

When you return back to the bedroom — now looking significantly more refreshed and awake — Armin has already set the platter on the bed. The coffee, still burning hot, emits gentle tendrils of steam.

You settle gracefully onto the bed, crossing your legs. “Are you joining me?” you ask, patting the spot next to you with a warm smile. Armin ponders for a moment, before he settles next to you, wrapping an arm around your shoulders.

“You made my favorite,” you murmur, gaze fixed on the colorful and appetizing platter of food before you. “Thank you,” you add quietly, planting another tender kiss on his lips. You nestle your cheek against his, seeking out the comfort of his warm presence.

Together, the two of you savor the quiet intimacy of the breakfast, enjoying the different flavors of the dishes he had prepared. To many, the moment might seem small and insignificant, but to you, it means everything — the chance to spend such intimate and domestic moments with the person you cherish the most in your life, the one person you love more than anyone else in the world.
