Fanon

Throughout Flavor ane, the evolution between Armin and Annie showed the two formed a mutual bond with each other starting from when Armin called Annie a 'prissy person'. It is believed that Annie was in shock at someone saying something then kind to her having never experienced such comforting words from someone in a long time. These words formed the foundation of their relationship every bit throughout the remainder of Season i and then after Annie is finally freed from her crystal, the idea of Annie wanting to be a good person to Armin is brought up repeatedly showing how much his stance of her matters to her.

From Annie's side, her feelings for Armin are much more obvious as her normal cold, harsh and at times heartless persona shifts when she'southward with Armin every bit she shows a much more kinder side when she's with him. We see Annie compliment Armin and try to convince him to not join the Survey Corps and appears saddened at the realization he volition, multiple times she spares Armin'due south life knowingly at the expense of it potentially costing her mission as he would likely figure out her identity compared to anyone else and despite showing no hesitation or remorse killing anyone including other members of the 104th Buck Corps similar Jean.

Armin'south feeling for Annie are more subtle during Season 1 only it is possible that Armin has had feelings for Annie before her reveal every bit the Female Titan. Armin endangered Eren and the remainder of his comrades by ignoring all the evidence in forepart of his eyes and refusing to confess to the Survey Corps for a month that Annie was likely the Female Titan. There was also a distinction in the distress and guilt he felt after trying to capture Annie in comparison to Reiner and Bertholdt, who he reported immediately after realizing the subtle hints.
