Valentine's Punch

Warnings: AU! whoa look at this i'm ending this collection on a nice note?!, making out if that bothers you, centered on Valentine's Day

"I hate Valentine's Day," Jean grumbled, the office building in which he worked was decked in bright pinks, pastel purples, and passionate reds, they grated on his eyes, making him wince as he felt the oncoming headache.

"That is something we can agree on," Eren groaned. Eren worked in the cubicle right behind his. He had a habit of being late and playing video games on his computer instead of working on his assignments, yet the boss never fired him because of his "spirit".

Jean glared at Eren in disdain, from his sloppy 'just-woke-up' hair to his undone tie and wrinkled slacks.

"Well I can guess why you don't like it," Jean muttered.

"What does that mean?" Eren asked, raising an eyebrow.

"You obviously have never had someone to share it with, have you?"

Eren sputtered for a moment, face going red, "Not true, last year Mikasa and I-"

"Your adopted sister doesn't count," Jean said, turning around in his chair and pretending to work on his files.

"Y-you-you," Eren growled before turning around as well and going back to his game of Tetris, albeit angrily.

The two worked in silence for a while, letting the buzz of the office settle over them as different secretaries passed out candies and small little pink cards with nice sayings on them, like "Find your true love this Valentine."

Jean hated nice sayings. He went to throw away the cards and keep the chocolate only to notice all of Eren's in the trash as well. He smirked, as much as he didn't like the guy he had to admit he was happy he wasn't alone in his misery.

Their silence was interrupted by their boss (or, 'sort-of' boss) Hanji bounding into the room, her normal white button up shirt replaced by a red one with pink heart buttons.

"Attention employees," Hanji said, "I am glad to announce that there will be a mandatory Valentine's day party today after work at 6pm. You are all expected to show up, unless you have a proper excuse, and no- Connie, your imaginary "hot date" is not a valid reason. And yes, Sasha, there will be free food and drinks for everyone."

"Hanji why do we have to attend?" Eren asked, raising his hand.

"Oh no," muttered Petra, "he's gotten her started."

"Because Valentine's day is such an amazing holiday," Hanji twirled around, stars in her eyes, "It's a day of love and passion. Anything can happen, and anyone can fall in love~ and, besides that, I have been begging for this party for four years and I'm not about to have anyone ruin it for me. So you will all attend. Be sure to dress nicely!"

"Fate must hate me," Jean muttered, running a hand through his hair, more time in a place that looked like the vomit of Cupid, awesome.

Jean showed up exactly 10 minutes late in his regular work clothes, he didn't feel like making the effort. He entered the office building only to find the lounge had been changed into some sort of horrid love nest. In one hour the ladies had managed to put up even more streamers and set out tons of food and bowls of punch.

"Oh no," Jean thought as he saw the too-old-for-him secretary wave at him flirtily from across the room, "better look busy." He walked over to the punch bowl and casually poured himself a glass and drank it.

"Well," Jean commented out loud, "At least the punch isn't half bad." He poured himself two more glasses and almost choked on the third as he saw Eren Jaeger enter the building.

"Is that Jaeger?" He thought as he spotted the man across the room.

For once, he was dressed for the occasion, in black pressed slacks, a neat blazer, and a light pink collared dress shirt.

Jean decided that this was too good of blackmail material to pass up and glided across the floor, taking his glass of punch with him, to where Eren was glaring at the poor glittery hearts dangling from the ceiling.

"Thought you hated Valentine's." Jean remarked looking him up and down.

"Well I thought you may be right," Eren said, "I do need to put myself out there, so I thought I'd look the part."

"Well I must say you clean up nice," Jean purred before he stopped himself, what the hell did he just say?

"Uhh, thanks," Eren replied a bit awkwardly before dodging around Jean and walking towards Connie who he seemed to be good friends with.

"Oh well," Jean thought a bit happily, "Might as well grab some more punch."

Throughout the night Jean couldn't help but watch Eren who seemed to suddenly have the attention of most of the office.

"Geez, you put a guy in some nice clothes and everyone else finally notices how cute he is," Jean mumbled to himself.

"What was that deary?" The too-old-for-him secretary had snuck up on him and was batting her eyelashes at him, "Must I say you look rather dashing."

"This is how I normally dress," Jean said, shrugging.

"Hmm, can't believe I haven't noticed you before."

"Probably because we work on different floors."

The lady let out a small noise of frustration before smiling even wider, "Let's say you and I dance a little?"

Jean blinked slowly before replying, "I'm gay."

The lady looked about as shocked as he felt when he suddenly began to stride across the room confidently and yanked Jaeger from his group of friends.

"Ow, what the hell ma-?!"

Eren didn't get to finish his sentence as Jean smashed his lips onto Eren's.

Eren's eyes widened in surprise before he kissed back and wove his hands around Jean's neck. Jean separated from Eren with a smack and wrapped one of his arms around Eren's waist. Jean grinned at the people Eren had been talking to and gave a little wave.

"What the fuck was in that punch?" Was the last thought Jean remembered thinking the next morning.

P.s. the ending can be up to you but I like to think that they fricked

p.p.s hope you enjoyed it!
