A/N: Hello! This is just a little dingy thing that I whipped up. I just find a flustered and blushing Jean so cute and really like the idea of him flipping out over cute little things that involve Marco and him. Anyways, enough of my rambling. Please excuse any errors and I hope you enjoy this.


Marco was always there for Jean, even if he wanted him to be there or not. He always had his back and would stick up for him, if the circumstances called for it and knew when to give him space or calm him down. It was no surprise to find Marco trying to calm an angry Jean with soft spoken words. It did come as a surprise when Marco gave him a peck on the cheek.

Jean couldn't even remember what he was angry about as he stared at Marco in slight shock. "Did you just kiss me?"

Marco only smiled brightly in response.

Jean stared at him for a few more moments before he just shook it off with a false bravado and a laugh.

He soon forgot about it, though.

It was about a half a month later when Marco did something else that shocked him. As they were talking, Marco reached up and stroked his cheek lightly, almost as if he did it unconsciously.

Jean, again, forgot what he was talking about and, again,stared at Marco, eyes wide. It shouldn't really bother him that Marco touched him, right? They are friends and friends touch each other, right? Why would he get so flustered over something simple like this? It didn't even mean anything. Just a simple touch, skin on skin, nothing new.

At least, that's what Jean kept telling himself.

This time, he didn't forget about it. It stayed in his mind and haunted him for days on end. He couldn't think of Marco without that touch coming to mind along with that kiss he thought he forgot about, causing his cheeks to heat up. The more he thought about it, the more he wished Marco would touch or kiss him again. He found himself anticipating every time Marco would lean forward a bit or when he raised his hand. He wouldn't admit it out loud, but he desperately wanted to feel Marco's skin on his again, even if it is an accidental brush of their hands.

So it was with that line of borderline creepy thinking (Although Jean just convinced himself it was completely normal) Jean caught himself placing a nervous kiss to the corner of Marco's mouth one evening. Jean's heart raced as he pulled back, full realization hitting him hard. He began to stutter out an apology and a cover-up. He didn't look at Marco as he stammered away, cheeks red.

Finally, Jean decided to stop talking altogether. He just sounded like an idiot anyways, rambling away like that. He could barely understand what he was saying.

It was quiet for a moment before Jean felt Marco place a chaste kiss on his lips. It was quick and barely there at all but it made Marco smile, so Jean smiled.
