Totally Dense Part 1 Oblivious To The Truth
Summary
Whilst on a mission fighting Titans Eren and Jean get separated from the rest of there friends Eren didn't transform this time as he wanted to show them he could fight without it. Eren And Jean don't like each other. They have a heart to heart and things will change
A new mission was set up to try and drive back the Titan treat three teams were set up led by Erwin, Levi and Hangi respectively. Eren's on Levi's team, Mikasa's on Erwin's and Armin's on Hangi's. Jean is also on Levi's team
The mission goes quite well they managed to kill several Titan as usual most were killed by Mikasa and Levi but Eren did well he's sick of being forced into always transforming so for this mission he fight like the rest of them he even manages to kill a few himself surprisingly it was the duo of Eren and Jean killed the most in Levi's group other then Levi himself.
Despite the fact Eren and Jean don't like each other they had to grudgingly admit they worked well as a team not that either would admit that to the other. There Eren's just killed his third Titan by himself when he feels the gas running out he looks over his shoulder and sees Jean's also almost out they both manage get to a tall tower before the gas finally runs out.
They look at each other and groan both thinking that there stuck here with each other can it get any worse. Jean's already sat down they can't hear or sea any Titans so they might as well rest. Eren's looking out of the tower although they did well today people still died. Eren hates it when they call him the saviour he hates it don't they realise he's only a kid why so much impressionability.
Jean looks up "What are you doing Eren get away from the edge there could be Titan's about Mikasa would kill me if anything happened to you" Eren looks at him and rolls his eyes but he leaves the edge and leans against the wall. Jean looks at Eren You so don't deserve someone like Mikasa the way you've treated her over the years.
Eren looks over at Jean who seems to be deep in thought but is still looking at him. Eren sighs "What are you staring at Jean" Jean looks up "What" Eren sighs "I asked why your staring at me" Jean sighs "You did well today" Eren raises his eyebrow Jean's never said anything nice about him He nods "Thanks I guess you wasn't so bad yourself" Jean just smirks "How long do you think before were found" Eren shrugs "No idea I'm sure it won't be long."
Jean smirks "I'm sure Mikasa will find you she always seems to" Eren scoffs "She treats me like a kid it's so annoying" Jean sighs You really don't deserve her she's in love with you dumbass why can't you see that wait are they really brother and sister. "You know Eren you should treat your sister better" Eren looks at him "Sister you mean Mikasa she's not really my sister we took her in but she's not really my sister why do you care anyway don't think I don't know about your pathetic crush on her."
Jean glares at him months ago that would have caused Jean to launch himself at Eren yes he did have a crush on Mikasa how could he not she's a beautiful women strong and beautiful it took along time before they really spoke whenever he tried he stuttered like a kid but over time he was able to talk to her but when they did talk it was brief it was hard to take but he knew nothing would happen it was obvious nothing would come of it she was in love with Eren and nobody else.
Eren's sitting there sitting there with his eyes closed. Jean shakes his head You are so dense how could you not see Mikasa has feelings for you, your so dense. Eren sighs "I can't believe I did OK without transforming hate being forced to transform I want to fight like everyone else."
Jean has to admit he did well he was surprised he didn't transform either and although they don't like each other Jean made sure to keep him safe months ago he would have done that to try and get Mikasa to notice him but knowing her she probably wouldn't have noticed and instead probably would have rushed to Eren to see if he was OK.
Jean smirks "I was surprised but you held your own" Eren opens his eyes and raises an eyebrow "What's with all the compliments it's not like you" Jean sighs "Eren we'll never be friends but I admit you did well I'm not sure Mikasa would take it like that though."
Eren sighs "Mikasa again jeez bloody hell" Jean sighs "Shut up Eren Mikasa's my friend" Eren scoffs "You probably just say that so you'll get in with her."
Jean stands up and rushes over to Eren pulls him up "You son of a bitch I should kick your ass" Eren knocks his hand away "Your not strong enough Jean" Jean remembers the last time they fought Eren dropped him on his ass and Eren's only gotten stronger since then.
Eren sighs and pushes him away "Mikasa would never date someone like you" Jean glares at him "Why would you say that" Eren smirk "Because it's the truth" Jean sighs "Eren you don't deserve Mikasa you have no idea about Mikasa's feelings."
Eren looks at him "What do you mean" Jean walks away and sits down. Eren looks at him" Jean tell me what you meant" Jean sighs "Fine I did have a crush on her she's an amazing women she's smart, strong and beautiful tell me you don't agree" Eren looks stunned he opens his mouth then closes it."
Jean looks at him "Come on I asked you a question do you agree" Eren looks away Yes she's beautiful she's one of the strongest people I know and smart yes of course she is nothing compared to Armin but yes she's smart "OK it's true she is smart and strong and b beautiful" He blushes as he said that and Jean saw it before he turned away.
Jean smirks "So you think she's beautiful so why do you treat her like shit" Eren lowers his head in shame. Jean continues "Why do you do it Eren" Eren sighs "I don't know at first she was to clingy she made me seem weak" Jean sighs "I partly agree with you she was over protective but she only does that because she cares about you."
Eren looks up "What do you mean she cares about me she's like my sister it's what family do" Jean sighs "You said she's not your sister and from what I can see she doesn't see you as her brother" Eren sighs "So what does she see me as" Jean sighs "I'll go back to what I said earlier I did have a crush on her I wanted to get to know her but I know nothing will happen."
Eren nods "OK so" Jean sighs "What I'm trying to say is she'd never be with me because she only has eyes for someone else" Eren looks at Jean "WHO" Jean smirks "Are you jealous" Eren glares at Jean "What" Jean smirks "Eren at first I hated you I still think you your an angry arsehole who's reckless but I know you've changed you don't argue as much that's good."
Eren sighs "Quit talking in riddle Jean just spit it out who is It she has eyes for" Jean sighs "Your so dense you know that" Eren sighs "Fuck of Jean answer the damn question" Jean sighs "I think your the only one who doesn't know" Eren sighs "For fucks sake tell me who" Jean sighs and stands up and looks out of the tower like Eren died earlier he sighs again "Eren the person she has eyes for is YOU" Eren's eyes are almost bulging out of his eyes his mouth is also open in shock.
He smirks "Yea right" Jean looks back at him Are you fucking kidding me "Are you fucking kidding me Eren she's in love with you, you dumb fuck everyone knows this everyone except you" Eren looks at him then he joins Jean he sits down dangling his legs over the side. Jean then does the same. He looks at Eren who looks lost.
Eren sighs "How long do you think she's you know" Jean sighs "To be honest maybe always I can't be certain" Eren sighs "And I've treated her like shit I'm surprised I didn't drive her away" Jean sighs "To be honest I don't know either but I guess her love for you answers that" Eren sighs "I'm such a horrible person I don't deserve her."
Jean smirks "You don't deserve her it's true" Eren looks at him his eyes are bright red he's trying not to cry" Jean surprises himself by patting Eren's back "It's OK to cry" Eren smirks "What do I say to her" Jean sighs "How do you feel about her do you think she's attractive." Eren looks at Jean Of course she's attractive she's amazing she's the most beautiful women I've ever seen.
He looks down and mumbles "Ofcourseshe'sattractiveshe'sbeautiful" Jean heard it somehow he heard what he said he smirks "What did you say" Eren sighs "I said of course she's attractive she's beautiful."
Jean nods "You think she's beautiful" Eren looks at her and nods "She's always been beautiful I've always known that" Jean nods "So what's the problem" Eren looks at her "Jean we're in the middle of a war against the Titan's yes I care about her a lot but now is just not the right time there was a couple and one of them died and although I didn't know about this Armin told me that when one of them died the other gave up."
Jean understands "You don't want to become a couple incase on on you dies" Eren sighs "Would you take that risk I do care about Mikasa she's one of the most important people in my life if not the most important but there's also Armin. If I lost Mikasa I don't know what I'd do she is all I have left I'd be lost without her."
Jean is actually surprised by this he knows that they did change after Reiner and Bertoldt kidnapped him and when he was rescued they changed but to actually hear the angry boy admit that he'd be lost without Mikasa is a shock. Before he can speak Eren continues "She never wanted to join the scouts neither died Armin and I didn't want them to either" Jean nods "The way she is with you she was always going to follow you."
Eren nods "I know she's so stubborn but I guess I know why" Jean nods "So how did you first meet" Eren looks at Jean and his face drops "It's hard to talk about it it's not a happy story" Jean nods "Does Armin know about it" Eren nods "Yes" Jean nods "Going by the way your face dropped I'm guessing it's a sad story" Eren nods "Yes it's not something I'm happy talking about especially as it's to do with Mikasa." Jean nods "I understand."
For a few minutes Eren and Jean just look out admiring the view. Jean looks at Eren "I overheard that when Annie took you Mikasa went crazy she had to get you back I heard this from Levi as he was talking with Hangi I understand that you shouldn't really become an item I agree there is a risk but it might be good for her to know that you care about her."
Eren looks at him "She knows that already" Jean sighs "Yes but not how you really feel I think you should tell her" Eren looks at him "But" Jean lifts his hand "I understand there's risk but I think she needs to know" Eren sighs "Yea Maybe you know she told me about this dream where she lived near the ocean the dream makes more sense now because she said she wanted to live with me well if I remember correctly."
Jean nods "Is there anything you don't like about her" Eren smirks "Well yea her over protectiveness sucks but she's also reckless" Jean nods "Yea I guess but like I said earlier Love is a strange thing well I didn't word it that way but love makes people do crazy things."
Eren nods "I guess your right you know we actually worked quite well teaming up earlier" Jean nods "Yea we did well so how do you think she's doing" Eren grins "Knowing her she's probably kicking butt she's so much stronger then me at first I hated it but her and Levi are in a league of there own" Jean grins "Yea your right them to are a dangerous duo I would not want to be a Titan if any of them two are coming at me."
Eren smirks "I know not forgetting Hangi though she really is crazy" Jean laughs "Oh she is I heard that she kept you awake all night when you first joined Levi's team" Eren nods "Yea she can really talk" Jean nods "I saw your look earlier what was on your mind" Eren sighs "Oh the responsibilities I've been given plus the burden's it's hard because I'm so young they expect me to be this hero but every failed mission it makes me think I could have done better."
Jean looks at him "Hey we all share the burdens of failed missions we've all lost friends and family members I'm sure you have to we all feel pain remember when we lost Marco" Eren nods "He was your close friend I didn't know him that well" Jean nods "Yes he was my close friend" Eren nods "You know it was Annie who killed him."
Jean nods "Yes, now what I'm trying to say is your not alone everyone shares the burdens of failed missions and the deaths we've suffered and before you say it the death of Levi's squad wasn't your fault yet again it was Annie" Eren sighs "I know your right but I still feel that I could have saved them" Jean sighs "Everyone regrets things they couldn't do the thing is to move on."
Eren nods "I guess your right" Eren looks out "We better move were gonna have some company." Jean looks up and they both see several people coming towards them. Jean sees Mikasa "Here she comes" Eren nods "Yea."
The stand up and steps back a minute later Mikasa, Sasha and Connie step inside the tower. Mikasa looks at Eren and runs up to him "Eren are you OK" Eren looks at Jean who nods. Eren nods back then looks at Mikasa "I'm fine we just ran out of gas" Jean grins "You should be proud of him he well killed a few Titans and without transforming" Mikasa looks at him "Eren you could have.. He brushes his thumb on her cheek "I'm fine Mikasa I was careful me and Jean actually teamed up and killed a few.
Sasha and Connie look at Jean but Mikasa hasn't taken he eyes off Eren. He smiles "How did you do" She doesn't reply to him. Sasha grins "Mikasa did what she usually does and kicked some Titan ass" Mikasa actually blushes. Eren smiles "You look cute when you blush. Connie and Sasha look at Jean. Connie looks at Jean "What's happened to him" Jean smirks "Let's let them talk."
Sasha nods "Here's a spare Gas canister Eren we'll see you guys later. Jean puts his own new Gas canister that Connie has then the three of them then jump out of the tower leaving Eren alone with Mikasa.
She looks at Eren "I was so worried Eren I thought I lost you when you didn't come back" He nods "Hey" She looks in his eyes and he rests his head on hers she has her hands on his chest. They both have there eyes closed. Eren sighs "I'm sorry Mikasa" She opens her eyes "Sorry for what" He sighs "For how I treated you, you didn't deserve it so I'm sorry" Before she can say anything his lips meet hers.
