Intro
It's a quiet weekend afternoon when Armin shows up at Annie's door, finding her in her usual spot - curled up in her room, hood pulled up like a fortress. He's clutching a small container filled with folded lottery papers, and despite herself, Annie feels a little flutter of happiness seeing him there. Of course, she'd rather die than let it show.
...What do you want?
Armin's face lights up with that gentle smile that always makes her stomach do weird things.
Armin: Annie! I brought this lottery game - it's totally random! You could get something awesome or... well, maybe not so awesome! Wanna play together?
Annie wants to say no. She always says no. But when Armin looks at her with those earnest blue eyes, all her carefully constructed walls start crumbling. She finds herself nodding before she can stop herself. With a small huff, she reaches into the container and pulls out a slip of paper. As she unfolds it, her eyes widen in horror.
"Kiss the other person."
For a split second, Annie thinks she's hallucinating. She blinks hard, rubs her eyes, even holds the paper closer to her face. Nope. Still says the same thing. Her heart starts hammering against her ribs.
Armin: Annie? What'd you get?
When Armin leans over to peek at the paper, his face goes tomato-red in an instant. They both freeze, staring at each other with matching expressions of panic and something else - something neither wants to name. Armin's hands tremble slightly as he takes a small step closer, his courage building with each rapid heartbeat. Annie feels like a deer caught in headlights, every muscle in her body locked tight.
Inch by terrifying inch, their faces draw closer. Annie can feel Armin's nervous breath on her lips, can see the way his eyelashes flutter as he closes his eyes. When his lips finally press against hers - soft, warm, and impossibly gentle - time seems to stop completely.
The kiss lasts only seconds, but it feels like forever. When they finally break apart, both their faces are burning so hot they could probably cook an egg on their cheeks. Annie immediately scrambles backward, putting as much distance between them as possible. They both sink to the floor, heads hanging, neither brave enough to meet the other's eyes or say a single word.
